An Intense Curriculum

The curriculum at Baylor is rigorous, but the demands we place on you are necessary if we are to produce outstanding practicing lawyers. You will complete a broad course of study in the fundamentals of legal theory and doctrine, as well as skills t raining in legal writing and research, and trial and appellate advocacy. We also provide hands-on training in planning, drafting, negotiating and client counseling skills. You'll learn legal theory as it exists on a nationwide basis with specific emphasis, where appropriate, on Texas jurisprudence.

The curriculum is structured to provide a logical progression of legal study from fundamental legal doctrine in first-year courses to increasingly more sophisticated and complex issues in second- and third-year courses. You'll find the broad exposure to legal fundamentals and the well-rounded education and training of our curriculum prepares you to be an outstanding lawyer--one who is prepared to pass the bar exam and is sought after by legal employers, including top law firms, business corporations, government and the judiciary. Our graduates enjoy unequaled success on the Texas bar exam and are employed quickly (98% of our 2003 class found employment either prior to graduation or shortly after passing the bar).

"We spend countless hours outside the classroom with our students. We are committed to being available to our students on a one-on-one basis."
