At the University of Wisconsin (UW) Law, innovation is nothing new. Our hallmark law-in-action approach to teaching makes UW Law a different kind of law school. It means students learn legal rules and why those rules evolved to address social concerns, and how they operate in the real world. And UW Law School faculty are—and always have been—innovators who put student learning first.

Please take advantage of our extensive curriculum, diverse clinical offerings, small classes, and a wealth of opportunities to work with faculty. At UW Law, we're committed to providing the resources and connections you need to reach your professional goals. UW Law students, faculty, and alumni profoundly impact our community and the world through service, ground-breaking research, and leadership.
