From its beginnings in 1926, Miami has emerged as one of the nation’s leading institutions of legal education. Faculty members, who are leaders in their scholarly and professional fields, offer a highly talented and diverse student body a rich and challenging curriculum along with a wide variety of professional skills training opportunities.
Miami’s version of globalization has a distinctive North-South cast, but its commerce ― like that of Latin America and the Caribbean ― is inextricably linked to the economies of Canada, Europe, and Asia as well.
The Law School is located on the beautiful main campus of the University in Coral Gables, Florida, an area acclaimed for its lush foliage and elegant Mediterranean style. The campus has all of the advantages of being a short distance from the vibrant legal and business communities of South Florida. With its international flavor and tropical climate, lively calendar of events and natural splendors, Miami is a truly unique place to live and learn.
