Celebrating our 50th anniversary, SIU LAW provides a legal education that is shaped by what we value: students, teaching, scholarship, service, and community. The law school provides a rigorous, high-value legal education that prepares our students for the challenges of a 21st century legal career. Our curriculum equips students for a career in any environment, ranging from a legal aid office and large urban law firm, to a corporate board room and government agency.
School of Law faculty members are distinguished practitioners and accomplished academicians. They are not only known for their legal research and scholarship, but also for their ability and commitment to instruction.
Our alumni are a testament to the success of the SIU School of Law. Since the first class graduated in 1976, the number of SIU School of Law graduates has grown to more than 4,500. Our powerful alumni network is a great tool that assists students as well as graduates in a variety of ways, including externships and employment opportunities in both the public and private sectors. We are proud of our 180 alumni judges.
