From the Dean

Welcome to the University of Idaho College of Law

For more than a century, the University of Idaho College of Law in Moscow, Idaho, has prepared state and national leaders in law, business and public service. Whether you wish to pursue a career in private practice, the judiciary, government, business, education or public interest, the academic programs we provide will prepare you for success anywhere in the country or world. In addition, we have emerged as one of the best educational values in the nation, being repeatedly named a Best Value Law School by preLaw magazine.

Established in 1909, and accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) since 1925, the U of I College of Law continues to grow and work toward its goal of providing opportunities for future lawyers. Most recently, we added a new physical presence at our Boise location: the Idaho Law and Justice Learning Center (ILJLC) located between the Idaho State Capitol and Idaho Supreme Court in the historic and newly renovated Ada County Courthouse. The ILJLC now houses a full J.D. program.

The University of Idaho College of Law has a statewide mission to provide an outstanding legal education program where all students benefit from the rigorous curriculum, six clinics, numerous externship opportunities, four areas of emphasis, a pro bono program, extensive career resources and our friendly Idaho communities. Fulfilling that mission at our main campus in Moscow and at the new facility in Boise only makes the value of your degree stronger.

If you want to know more about our plans for the future or have any other questions, please visit the website or contact me directly. This is an exciting time at the College and we hope you will join us.
