University of Illinois College of Law

Since 1897, the University of Illinois College of Law has offered students a rigorous, broad-ranging and innovative legal education on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, one of the world’s great research universities. Students at the College of Law learn from brilliant scholar-teachers whose research has transformed entire fields of law and whose teaching extends beyond the classroom to the school’s hallways, courtyards, and cafes. With over a dozen faculty members holding advanced degrees (in fields such as economics, history, philosophy, psychology, and engineering) and a dozen joint-degree programs (in business, chemistry, computer science, education, industrial relations, journalism, medicine, philosophy, urban planning, and veterinary medicine, among others), the College of Law is a world leader in interdisciplinary legal education.
