The University of Chicago Law School

The University of Chicago Law School is the law school of the University of Chicago, a private research university in Chicago, Illinois. It is consistently ranked among the best and most prestigious law schools in the world, and has many distinguished alumni in the judiciary, academia, government, politics and business

The University of Chicago Law School is about ideas

This is what sets us apart from other law schools: we have an unabashed enthusiasm for the life of the mind—the conviction that ideas matter, that they are worth discussing, and that legal education should devote itself to learning for learning’s sake, not just for earning’s sake. UChicago Law is small enough to allow students regular, in-depth interaction with their professors, who take a deep interest in their success. But the Law School also offers a chance to be part of the larger, world-class UChicago community—and to engage with a Law School alumni network that stretches from Congress and the federal bench to academia, public service, business, law firm practice, and nearly every corner of the profession. The result is an unmatched energy, camaraderie, and way of thinking that UChicago Law students carry with them long after they graduate.

Our Faculty

Our faculty are not just leading law scholars. They are philosophers, economists, historians, political scientists, and more—and many have joint appointments in other departments on campus. Faculty practice an open-door policy and they engage with students in ways uncommon in academia. The Law School sponsors the Chicago Policy Initiatives, which encourage faculty members and students to work together, examine important social problems, and propose solutions. Many students participate in Greenberg Seminars, where professors from different disciplines team up to teach casual seminars on unusual subjects in their own homes.
