While our dramatic rise in rank—to 26th nationally and 2nd in Texas—has received considerable attention, our top priority at Texas A&M is to provide you with a world-class legal education at a great value and to set you up for a successful career as a lawyer. Our faculty of internationally recognized scholars and accomplished lawyers genuinely care about you, and about creating a supportive, student-first environment that will allow you to live up to your potential and develop your professional identity.
We ranked first in the nation in 2022 for employment in “gold-standard” jobs (full-time, long-term bar-pass-required or JD-advantage positions) with a placement rate of over 98%. That’s the third consecutive year that we’ve been in the top ten nationally for employment outcomes.
The reason for our success is simple. We invest heavily in finding our students the job that they want. From the first day you set foot on campus at Texas A&M Law, the experienced lawyers in our Career Services Office will take the time to get to know you and to help you find the job of your dreams—whether it’s with a judge, a prestigious law firm, a government agency, or a public service organization. We cultivate an individual, personalized relationship with each student.
As a public institution, we deliver a world-class legal education while keeping tuition low. When you combine our low tuition, non-resident tuition waivers, and generous scholarships with our #1 ranking in gold-standard employment outcomes — and our status as a top 30 national law school — it is easy to see why Texas A&M Law is an obvious choice for students who care about return on investment.

There is more than one type of lawyer. Practicing lawyers serve a wide variety of clients in various capacities and in countless industries. At Texas A&M University School of Law, you can keep your options open by pursuing a broad education. Or you can choose a distinct path.
You have the option to earn a concentration by focusing on any of 17 practice areas in which we offer a specialized curriculum. Whether your passion is for intellectual property, dispute resolution, business law, criminal defense, or another area of the law, we’ll give you the knowledge and the practical skills to succeed in the real world.
At Texas A&M School of Law, we believe that hands-on, experiential learning is just as critical to a legal education as scholarship and research. Our commitment to ensuring our students enter the workforce practice-ready is evident in the number of programs and centers that offer opportunities to apply your classroom learning and gain real-world experience.
In addition to the core 1L courses required by most law schools, we offer innovative support programs to give you a solid foundation for your 2L and 3L years and beyond.
The 2L year offers you choices. You can pursue a broad legal education, or you can concentrate on particular areas of interest. Either way, you’ll develop advanced skills such as client counseling, negotiation and mediation. Here are some of your options.
In the 3L year, you’ll put your knowledge and skills to use representing both real and simulated clients. Here are some of the opportunities from which you can choose.
