South
Texas College of Law is located in the heart of Houstonâ??s downtown legal and financial district.
In addition to being the only private law school in the city, it is also the
oldest. Its student body is one of the largest and the most diverse in Texas. Since the college
is situated in the center of the nationâ??s fourth-largest city, it is uniquely
suited to serve the needs of its students while cultivating a rich and
rewarding learning environment. A dynamic energy exists between the faculty,
student body, and the communityâ??s 6,000 practicing attorneys who are walking
distance of the law school
The
college has grown enormously since its founding in 1923. It now boasts a
full-time faculty of 60 and an adjunct faculty of approximately 40
practitioners. This deep faculty base allows the school to maintain an 18.8 to
1 student faculty ration, while building a strong student body of about 1,237
students. More than 75 percent of the current students attend SouthTexas on a full-time basis. Many of the part-time students are
second-career professionals---the very students for whom the law school was
founded. The part-time program remains flexible enough to allow part-time
students to attend day and/or evening classes while fulfilling their obligations
at home or office.
The
college strives to provide the best combination of practical skills and
scholarly training through the classroom and its four Centers of Excellence the
Board of Advocates; the Frank Evans Center for Conflict Resolution, the Transactional Practice Center; and the Corporate Compliance Center.
Through
its first Centerof Excellence, the Board
of Advocates, the college has established a winning legacy in national moot
court and mock trial advocacy competitions. Indisputably, SouthTexas is the best in the country, with over 100 national titles to
its credit. This winning record far exceeds what any other law school in the
nation has been able to accomplish. The advocacy program is further
complemented by a strong curricular emphasis on courtroom skills training and
legal writing, giving students a firm foundation from which to excel in the courtroom.
To further
enhance the collegeâ??s well-regarded advocacy program, as well as support other school-wide
activities, a $3 million courtroom complex was completed in 2003. The project includes
The T Gerald Treece Courtroom (aptly named after its
long-time advocacy director and founder), the Advocacy Hall of Champions, where
all names of past national champions are displayed, and the Advocacy Center,
housing offices and a large meeting room for tournament preparation.
Current
emphasis on skills training takes many forms, beginning in the first year with
rigorous mandatory courses in legal analysis, research, writing, and oral
communications. It extends into the upper division curriculum with a range of
clinical course offerings spanning form direct representation clinics to field
placement externships and simulated advocacy and mediation courses. In the law
schoolâ??s various direct client representation clinics, students work with actual
clients on pending disputes under the supervision of full-time faculty and staff
members.
A host off-site internships are available to allow students to experience the actual
practice of law in settings as diverse as pro bono law firms and government
agencies, state and federal courts, and prosecutorâ??s offices. Students use the
experiences garnered in these placements as the 9 text 9 of seminars which
explore skills development and system design. Additionally, in simulation
courses, students are able to expand their mediation, pretrial and trial level
skills through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, role playing
activities and professor critiques. Full time faculty involvement, along with a
strong cadre of local jurists and leading practitioners, allows the law school
to take full advantage of its urban location for these skill courses.
To
complement its strong tradition of advocacy and skills development, the law
school also offers three other Centers of Excellence. The Frank EvansCenter for Conflict
Resolution provides students training in mediation, arbitration, and other forms
of alternative dispute resolution through classes, seminars, and volunteer
opportunities. The TransactionalPractice Center
focuses on teaching the core skills and knowledge needed to engage in a
transactional law practice. For example, students have opportunities to learn
and gain experience in contract negotiation and drafting and putting together a
major transaction such as a real estate purchase or a corporate acquisition.
The center combines coursework and skills development, granting a certificate
of specialization in transactional skills to those who qualify. The collegeâ??s Corporate Compliance Center
involves students interested in working as in-house counsel, outside counsel,
and business law. The center hosts two topical programs each year exploring how
companies promote policies and procedures to assure legal and ethical behavior.
South Texas students are engaged in a variety of co-curricular
activities, including publishing the South Texas Law Review, the Corporate
Counsel Review, the Construction Law Journal and the Texas
Journal of Business Law Journal, and Currents International Trade Law
Journal participate in more than 30 student organization and law
fraternities. Many of the student organizations focus on specific areas of the
law and others are affinity organizations. The college is home to the First and
Fourteenth Courts of Appeals allowing students to easily observe live appellate
arguments by some of the best attorneys in the country.
The South
Texas College of Law Fred Parks Law Library is one of the largest in Texas, housing more than
511,900 volumes. Particular strengths of the collection include materials in
English law, international business, materials on trial and appellate advocacy.
The collection also contains research material, original transcripts, trial
exhibits and video-taped depositions from the famous Texaco v. Pennzoil case,
the first $10-billion dollar jury verdict ever awarded.
These
unique materials provide students and legal researchers the opportunity to study
in depth one of the landmark cases in the arena of complex litigation. The
six-story Fred Parks Law Library contains over 81,000 square feet and includes
more than 750 study seats equipped with internet connections, a wireless
network, an abundance of study, seminar and conference rooms, a new computer
center; and the Emilie Slohm conference and dining
center, a multi-use penthouse suite with a large dining room and a rooftop
terrace for relaxation and recreational use.
South
Texas regularly hosts large or highly publicized trials, debates and events in
the law schoolâ??s Joe M. Green Jr. Auditorium, the largest courtroom in Texas with more than 700
seats. The 240-seat Garrett-Townes Hall is also designed as a courtroom and is
equipped with remote control video capability. Students and faculty benefit
from computer, video, and audio technology in every classroom at South Texas.
All told, the exemplary facilities,
access to practicing attorneys, and top-notch faculty coalesce to educate
well-rounded attorneys.
