You’ll also be placed in a small mentor group for advice and support. And you’ll have an alumni mentor to help steer your career-making decisions.

Vibrant Student Life
Texas Law offers a huge menu of student organizations. You can write for a prestigious student journal, book guest speakers, or join our championship mock trial and moot court teams.

Texas Law professors are here for you—inside and outside the classroom. Our esteemed faculty participate in the first-year societies and advise student organizations. They are active collaborators, engaging with students through the curriculum and individual conferences. Their office doors are open and they are ready to greet you.
We don’t just throw you in the water and expect you to swim. We show you how.
