We are more than just a law school. We’re a connection point – the community that ties you to the people, places and organizations that will help you develop as a professional and a leader. Students, professors and staff share a common respect for each other and for the practice of law.
Inclusive Leadership Program
Our Inclusive Leadership Program encourages students to grow as leaders. Students learn the leadership skills and practices that they will use as they advance justice, solve problems and serve others with integrity.
Academic Support
Nebraska Law’s dedicated Student Development team will support you through academic and other challenges. They will brainstorm course selections with you, answer questions about student involvement opportunities or help connect you to resources if you’re facing a tough personal situation.

The welfare of our students is one of our top priorities. Nebraska Law, and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, provide a variety of resources for physical and mental health, personal support and career enrichment.
Health and Wellness Resources“From the beginning of law school until now there has never been a problem that I had to face on my own. There is always someone willing to offer help and solutions to the challenges I face.”

Student Organizations and Competitions
Students build community and strengthen their leadership skills by participating in student organizations and competitions. Organizations help students connect with others who share common interests, while participating in a competition allows students to put their legal skills to work in practice simulations that mirror real-life client problems.
