“As one of the nation’s best returns on investment in legal education, we strive daily to redefine what it means to be a great national public law school – offering a world-class, hands-on, purpose-driven educational experience with an unflinching commitment to accessibility and affordability.”

Academics
The University of Georgia School of Law is one of the Nation’s Leading Law schools, providing hands-on, purpose-driven educational experiences.
Engaged Community
Interaction with distinguished faculty and talented peers in an outstanding educational environment ensures that the legal education received at the School of Law is second to none.
Expert Faculty
While some law schools choose to emphasize either faculty scholarship or student instruction, our faculty seeks to balance the two, firmly believing that scholarly expertise enhances the academic experience.
Experiential Learning
94% of the class of 2023 took advantage of our 18 unique clinical and experiential learning programs, honing essential legal skills through hands-on service learning.
Mentorship Program
The School of Law is proud to offer a unique mentorship program to match all of our students with a four-person mentorship team to provide the guidance and support they need during their three years here, and beyond.
Student Organizations
Our students can join one of the 40 student organizations on campus ranging from the First Generation Student Association to the Davenport-Benham Black Law Students Association to the UGA OUTLaws.
First Generation and Military Students
First-generation college graduates at the law school have access to our First Start Coordinator to act as a guide. We also offer scholarships targeted to Veterans, and provide access to the UGA Student Veterans Resource Center.
“Law school can be challenging in all sorts of ways, but our students seem to thrive and feel supported by our close-knit faculty and caring staff. Our affordability is surely part of this story because students have greater freedom to pursue their genuine interests.”
– Thomas Kadri, Associate Professor of Law

“My time at UGA Law has been nothing short of wonderful. The law school’s atmosphere is collegial, and I credit this to the camaraderie among students and the helpfulness of the professors. I have especially found community in the law school’s award-winning Moot Court Program, through which I am preparing for my second competition.”
