The MU School of Law offers a collegial environment, reinforced by a small student body and a low faculty-student ratio. The intimacy of this setting, coupled with reasonable cost, consistently high bar passage rates, a network of alumni around the globe and access to top scholars in the legal world, make MU Law one of the best values in the nation.
Degree Programs
An outstanding faculty with award-winning teachers who rank consistently high in scholarly productivity and impact.
Students rave about the friendly staff and great study space in the MU Law Library.
