We keep class sizes small, because we believe they ultimately produce better lawyers. Our student-faculty ratio is 9-to-1, which fosters an educational experience that’s personal. And most courses have fewer than 25 students—especially in the second and third years. Our mentoring program: At your orientation, you’ll meet second-year (2L) law students who will serve as mentors. They’ve taken the courses you’ll be taking and know the professors who will be teaching you. They’ll listen. They’ll provide insights. And between the support you’ll receive from our mentors and our Student Success resources, your first year will be as smooth as possible. Practical experiences: We believe that while your legal future starts in the classroom, it shouldn’t end there. That’s why we connect students with a range of practical experiences to give you a well-rounded education. These experiences may take place through our legal clinics, externships in Omaha, moot court and trial teams and international programs.
