Outstanding legal scholars are regularly brought to campus through the Law School’s distinguished lecture series. Recent lectures have been delivered by Congressman Max A. Sandlin; Congressman Chet Edwards; Honorable Carolyn Dineen King, Chief Justice, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit; Brett Kavanaugh, Staff Secretary to President George W. Bush; Ann Richards, former Governor of the State of Texas; and Morris Dees, founder and Chief Trial Counsel, Southern Poverty Law Center.

Each August, we also offer a two-week study-abroad program at the Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara in Mexico. Students may earn up to five quarter hour credits selecting from courses such as North American Legal System, International Human Rights and International and Comparative Intellectual Property.

We also offer joint degree programs. The Law School and the Hankamer School of Business offer joint degree programs that lead to the simultaneous award of the Juris Doctor (JD) and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree, or the Juris Doctor (JD) and the Master of Taxation (MTax) degree. Students interested in governmental service can complete their law degree along with a Master of Public Policy and Administration (MPPA) degree offered by the political science department of Baylor University.
