Future Students
The University of Louisville's Brandeis School of Law is exceptional in many ways - a strong core curriculum, enhanced by specialized and interdisciplinary studies (over 100 courses comprise our curricular offerings); a full-time and a part-time program, a teaching-oriented and diverse faculty; and favorable student/faculty ratio at fourteen to one. The academic environment is enriched by an outstanding student body, with strong academic credentials and varied personal and professional backgrounds; a supportive legal community, adjunct faculty who bring the “real world” to the classroom; and exposure to global opportunities, including international visiting faculty and student exchanges. The law school is located in an attractive facility on the University of Louisville’s main campus. The law library houses a collection of over 400,000 volumes plus the papers of Supreme Court Justices Louis D. Brandeis and John Marshall Harlan, Kentuckians who were two of our nation’s most influential legal jurists. At the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law, we emphasize the development of both skills and values. This focus is reflected in our extensive skills program consisting of clinics, externships, moot court teams and skills competitions, and the Samuel L. Greenebaum Public Service Program. Also, there are three law journals published with student involvement – the University of Louisville Law Review and the Journal of Law and Education. We have affordable public tuition rates, merit scholarships are available, extensive clerking opportunities in metropolitan Louisville’s large legal community, and abundant, affordable housing options. Louisville was designated one of the nation’s five most livable cities at the U. S. Conference of Mayors and is the 16th largest community in the United States.
