The 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 one of the best
student/faculty ratios in the country 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 Brandeis, we emphasize the development of both skills
and values. This focus is reflected in our extensive skills program consisting
of externships, moot court teams and skills competitions, and the Samuel L.
Greenebaum Public Service Program. Also, there are two 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.

I hope you find this site useful as you begin the law
school application process. Please contact me if you have any questions or need
additional information.
