Founded in 1872, Mizzou Law is nationally recognized for its academic excellence and commitment to service. We’re proud of its award-winning faculty, remarkable students and outstanding hands-on programs, such as the Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution and Veterans Clinic.

Last weekend, the Mizzou Law community past and present commemorated the school’s 150th anniversary.

By educating and preparing future lawyers and judges, our law school helps support the entire state. For example, five of the seven Missouri Supreme Court judges are Mizzou Law grads.

The School of Law is one of three sesquicentennials this year, including the School of Medicine and College of Engineering. We have a lot to celebrate!
