Academics

Baylor Law School is not the easiest road to a law degree. However, for students interested in the practice of law, it can easily be the most rewarding.

Baylor Law School students complete a curriculum with proportionately more required courses than students at other law schools—one that develops a solid foundation in both litigation and transactional law. Courses are integrated and sequenced to build on one another. As students progress, the intensity increases. Yes, it’s challenging—but that’s precisely what makes it worthwhile.

By the time they reach graduation, every student will have honed their written advocacy skills through one of the nation’s most in-depth Legal Writing Programs. And every student will have stood and delivered in law school’s premiere mock courtroom, Baylor Law’s famous Practice Court.

Forget about huge, impersonal lecture halls. Here, your experience is personal. Professors know your name and are deeply invested in your success, pushing you to develop the practical skills needed to excel from day one of your career.

This commitment to excellence is why Baylor Lawyers thrive—whether in the courtroom, the boardroom, or making an impact in their communities. 

It’s not just about earning a law degree; it’s about becoming a practice-ready lawyer who makes a difference.
