About
Paul J. Litton
Dean and R.B. Price Professor of Law
“While many schools can boast amazing students and excellent faculty, what makes Mizzou Law stand out is the sense of community our students, faculty and staff share within our school. Ours is a culture that values people over all else. Students often describe the academic atmosphere at Mizzou Law as challenging, but with an emphasis on learning rather than competition.”
Life At Mizzou
Life inside and outside the classroom strengthens the character of each law student. Each year our students, faculty, staff and alumni host dozens of events that add to the collegial atmosphere. These events allow students to step back from their everyday studies, building lifetime friendships.
Study abroad, student organizations and advocacy competitions are just some of the many ways students enhance their studies at Mizzou Law. Through these experiences, students increase their networking opportunities and explore career paths. No matter your interests, you will be prepared to meet your goals.
