The University of Minnesota Law School, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, is a professional school of the University of Minnesota. The school offers a Juris Doctor (J.D.), Masters of Law (LL.M.) for Foreign Lawyers, and joint degrees with J.D./M.B.A., J.D./M.P.A, J.D./M.A., J.D./M.S., J.D./Ph.D., J.D./M.D., J.D./M.P.P., J.D./M.B.S., J.D./M.P., J.D./M.B.T., J.D./M.U.R.P., and J.D./M.P.H.

Walter F. Mondale Hall, home of the Law School on the University of Minnesota's West Bank Campus.

Founded in 1888, the Law School is consistently ranked among the top 20 law schools in the nation, with the current rank of 19th in the U.S. News & World Report "Best Law Schools" rankings and 18th in the U.S. News & World Report "Law Firm Recruiters Rank Best Law Schools" rankings; tied with UCLA and USC.[2][3]

With 847 students, the Law School maintains a 10.9:1 student-to-faculty ratio.[4] Admission is highly competitive; during the 2011-2012 cycle, over 3,200 prospective students applied for just 205 seats.[1] For the same cycle, the median LSAT was 167, and the median undergraduate GPA was 3.8.[1] The five-year average bar exam passage rate was 96.91%, one of the highest in the country.[1] Tuition and fees are $34,817 for residents, and $43,385 for non-residents.[1] The cost of attendance for non-residents is over $10,000 less per year than the similarly ranked Los Angeles schools, USC and UCLA.[5][6][7]

In terms of employment prospects, there was a 97.7% (255 out of 261) employment rate for 2011 graduates within one year of graduation, among students seeking employment.[8] The median starting salary for 2011 graduates employed in the private sector was $110,000.[8] The Law School also does well at the nation's largest firms, despite a relatively small number of them headquartered in the region. According to one study, 18.1% of the Law School's 2006 graduates joined the United States' 250 largest law firms.[9]

The Law School also provides one of the nation's largest and most distinguished programs of clinical education. There are 24 legal education clinics, offering "student attorneys" the opportunity to handle real legal cases under supervision of teaching attorneys. 50 percent of law students participate in at least one clinic program, which is twice the national average.[10] In addition, over 95 percent of second year J.D students participate in either a moot court or legal journal. The Law School's 10th Dean is Professor David Wippman, former Vice Provost for International Relations and Professor of Law, Cornell University.

The school was originally housed in Pattee Hall, named after the school's first dean, William S. Pattee, who served from 1888-1911. Pattee's personal books become the Law Library’s first collection. In 1928 the school moved to Fraser Hall, named after Prof. Everett Fraser who served as Dean from 1920-1948. In 1978 the school moved to its present building, originally named the Law Center. In 1999-2001, the Law School initiated and completed an expansion of its facilities on the west bank of the University campus. This larger building was renamed Walter F. Mondale Hall in honor of one its most distinguished alumni, former Vice President Walter Mondale (Law Class of 1956).[11]

Along with Harvard Law School, University of Minnesota Law School founded the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) in 1982.[12] CALI has grown to include the membership of nearly every law school in the US and the organization still has offices at University of Minnesota Law.[13][14]

Contents

Law Library [edit]

The Law Library, with over 1 million volumes, it is the 7th largest of its kind in the United States. It is a division of the University of Minnesota Libraries and is open to law students 24 hours a day throughout the year. The chief librarian at the school is Joan S. Howland, who joined the Law School in 1992. Of particular note is The Riesenfeld Rare Books Research Center, which houses one of the top three collections of rare legal texts in the nation. For its millionth volume, the Law School acquired the papers of Clarence Darrow.[4]

Study abroad programs [edit]

The Law School offers a number of study abroad opportunities and, in 2006 opened a summer study program for J.D. students in Beijing. The program was originally conducted with the China University of Political Science and Law, and after two years it was changed to Renmin University (People’s University) in Beijing.[15]

The school also features semester exchange programs with ESADE Faculty of Law in Barcelona, Spain; University of Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden; Université Jean Moulin (Lyon III) in Lyon, France, Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany; University College Dublin in Dublin, Ireland, Tilburg University Faculty of Law in Tilburg, Netherlands; and Bucerius Law School in Hamburg, Germany. In Fall 2006, the Law School announced a new exchange partnership with the Universidad de Montevideo in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Publications [edit]

The school produces a number of scholarly journals. Those that are edited by students include Minnesota Law Review (the 10th most cited legal journal in the country [5]), Law and Inequality (formerly the Journal of Law and Inequality), and Minnesota Journal of International Law (formerly the Minnesota Journal of Global Trade). Faculty edited journals include Constitutional Commentary, Crime and Justice, Minnesota Journal of Business and Entrepreneurship, and Minnesota Journal of Law Science and Technology (the 6th most cited Intellectual Property law journal, 5th most cited environmental and land use law journal, 3rd most cited health, medicine & pychology law journal, and 4th most cited science, technology and computing law journal).[16] 175 students participate on a journal each year. Students at the Law School also regularly publish the humorous newsletter and harbinger of Thursday night activities, The Bar Review Weekly .

Student life [edit]

Musical [edit]

An annual highlight for the Law School is when the student body puts on its own full-length musical: written, performed, directed and produced by the all-student Theatre of the Relatively Talentless (T.O.R.T.). Begun in 2002, the event draws over a thousand audience members each year and features cameos by distinguished alumni and other distinguished members of the Minnesota legal community. For the 2006 show, "West Bank Story" (a spoof on "West Side Story"), tickets sold out within three days. Previous shows include: "The Wizard of Fritz" (2003, a spoof on "the Wizard of Oz"); "Law Wars" (2004, a spoof on "Star Wars"); "Walter Wonka and the Lawyer Factory" (2005, a spoof on "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"); "Frankenlaw" (2007); "Robin Hood, Esq." (2008); "It's a Wonderful Law School" (2009, a spoof on "It's a Wonderful Life"); "Harry Torter and the Magical Law School" (2011); "A Midsemester Night's Dream" (2010); "Alawddin: The Tale of 1001 All-Nighters" (2012); and "Back to the Future Interest" (2013). Participants are known as the TORTfeasors.

Hockey [edit]

The Fighting Mondales hit the ice during the season in intramural play, club play and rivalry games. In the fall, the Fighting Mondales square off in an adult league against several opponents, including the law school hockey teams of the Hamline School of Law's Res Ipsa, University of St. Thomas School of Law and rival William Mitchell Fighting Eelpout. In the spring, the Mondales participate in the University of Minnesota intramural season, playing their games at Mariucci Arena on the U of M campus. The season concludes with the annual law school hockey tournament, where all four Twin Cities law school teams compete for the coveted Golden Gavel.

Notable alumni [edit]

The Law School currently has 11,776 living alumni in 50 states and 68 countries [6], including 275 serving as federal and state court judges nationwide [7]. Perhaps the most famous alumnus of the Law School is former Vice President of the United States and Ambassador to Japan Walter Mondale ('56). The Law School's building was renamed Walter F. Mondale Hall in his honor in 2002. His legacy and continued participation in the life of the school earned him a most interesting honor from the school's student-run Law Council: the naming of the mascot of the Law School as the "Fighting Mondales."

Other prominent alumni of the school include:
