The University of Wisconsin Law School is located in the heart of the beautiful UW–Madison campus. It boasts a renowned faculty, an extensive curriculum and a dynamic student body. As part of a world-class university located in the state’s capital, the Law School also offers a wealth of experiences beyond its walls.
Our curriculum emphasizes the dynamics of the law—how the law relates to social change and to society as a whole—while at the same time stressing skills development. The Law School also has one of the largest clinical programs in the country. With a focus on skills-based learning, our students graduate practice-ready and prepared for success. Our faculty and staff come from a wide range of backgrounds and bring varying experiences, views, and approaches to their teaching. They are inspired by the UW’s distinctive law-in-action approach, and they are committed to helping students develop into confident, successful lawyers. We commit ourselves to the pursuit of excellence in teaching, research, outreach, and diversity as inextricably linked goals. Diversity is a source of strength, creativity, and innovation for UW-Madison.
