Your Legal Education Belongs To You
We focus on you, the student. Our faculty and staff help you develop a program that is unique and specialized to your interests and passions. We will guide you as you strive to reach your goals.
A Flexible Curriculum
More than half of the credits needed to graduate are electives, so students can chart their own paths through customized curriculum choices.

This is a community, not just a law school. We all work together and share a common respect for each other and the practice of law.
Location, Location, Location
The capital city of Lincoln gives opportunities to work with nonprofits, all levels of government, and law firms of various sizes. Parking on East Campus is convenient, too!
