The Law School is committed to providing students the best environment for legal education. In spring 2002, the Law School completed a major upgrade in computer and audio-visual technologies. Every classroom, seminar room, and courtroom was outfitted with state-of-the-art presentation technologies.

Students have electrical power and network access at each classroom seat. Law students have high-speed access to the Internet, the Ole Miss computer network, the library card catalogs, research databases, and other instructional technologies. Among other features, the Ole Miss computer network provides students access to class schedules, online registration, the Bursar’s Office, grade reports, and many other helpful services. Students may access the University network remotely via dial-in service.

Each entering student is assigned a faculty adviser at the time of registration. You are encouraged to seek the advice and counsel of this faculty member if you encounter problems that will affect you personally or academically.

The University of Mississippi School of Law is committed to a diverse law student body. The first African-American graduate received his law degree from The University of Mississippi School of Law in 1967, and, significantly, this graduate was the first African American to sit on the Mississippi Supreme Court and to serve as president of the Mississippi Bar.

Since that time, the School of Law has enrolled and graduated minority students from across the country, and minority students have taken leadership roles at the highest levels among the student body, including Moot Court Board chair and LSSB president. We continually seek to expand and refine our efforts to enroll and graduate additional minority students to increase minority participation in the legal profession.
