Academics

With the significant resources of a major research university, the expertise of world-renowned faculty members, and a variety of special program opportunities, academics at the University of Illinois College of Law are second to none.

Nestled between Chicago, one of the nation's largest legal communities, and the state capital of Springfield, the geographic location of the College is ideal for attracting practitioners, scholars, legislators, and distinguished members of the judiciary for an ambitious schedule of lectures and symposia each year.

Complementing the breadth of courses is an array of opportunities for active learning, both in the classroom and beyond. The Study Abroad Program offers valuable experiences at numerous universities, including those with whom the College maintains formal exchange agreements: in Argentina, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Korea, and Portugal.

Our ongoing commitment to the highest standards of academic excellence assures College of Law graduates of their education's value in the greater legal community, across the country and around the globe.
