Law School Overview

At the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, students must take traditional first year legal courses, followed by a core curriculum of strongly recommended courses as well as electives. Students can also pursue concentrations in criminal law or environmental law or can choose from a variety of dual degree programs, including a J.D./M.B.A. through the Eller College of Management and a J.D./Master of Public Health through the College of Public Health.

Each entering class has about 150 students, and more than 80 percent of students take part in the school’s clinical offerings, which include the Immigration Law Clinic and the Arizona Attorney General Clinic. Students can choose from more than 25 student organizations to get involved in outside of the classroom, such as the Sports & Entertainment Law Society and the Intellectual Property Student Association. The school also has several legal journals including the Arizona Law Review, the Arizona Journal of International & Comparative Law, and the Arizona Journal of Environmental Law & Policy.

The Rogers College of Law  is also home to research centers such as the National Law Center and the William H. Renquist Center on the Constitutional Structure of Government. Students may live on campus, though most choose to find private housing throughout Tucson, Ariz.
