Prepare. Connect. Lead. Since 1859, the school has been preparing the next generation of legal leaders.

The University of Georgia School of Law is redefining what it means to be a great national public law school - one that matches excellence with access. The UGA School of Law is redefining what it means to be a great national public law school – offering a world-class, hands-on, purpose-driven educational experience – while continuing to be one of the best returns on investment in legal education.

It currently offers three degrees – the Juris Doctor, the Master of Laws and the Master in the Study of Law. The school's accomplished faculty includes nationally and internationally renowned scholars, and its approximately 11,500 living graduates are leading figures in law, business and public service throughout the world. Connecting students to these thought leaders and opportunities to serve state and society is central to the school's mission.
