SEEKING A LAW DEGREE?

You've come to the right place.

At the Blewett School of Law, our students learn in an environment that blends theory with practical experience. A third-year clinic experience gives students the opportunity to pull together skills they've acquired in the first two years of law school and apply it.

Outside the classroom, law students build community and gain valuable experience by engaging in law reviews, moot court competitions, and deep-dive courses that take them on the road across the state and abroad.

A law school unlike any other

'People care' Creating opportunities High standards

“I came to [UM Law] because of its smaller community where people care. Students at other schools will get to write papers about people like Bernard Pease [a wrongfully convicted Montana man]; we get to actually help.”

- BRANDY KEESEE, CLASS OF 2025, LAW

“I was really young when I had my kids, and they are my first priority. I made a promise to them that I would better our lives through improving our opportunities. Law school is the path that will create these opportunities for us.”

- HOLLY OLD CROW, CLASS OF 2024, LAW

"Research and writing are essential, and our professors set really high standards. I think that makes such a difference when you are starting to write for the court."
