About Us
In brief: an extraordinary—and personal—legal education

Founded in 1894, Wake Forest School of Law is a nationally recognized academic community of 470 students and 40 teacher-scholars. Small by design, our programs produce astute and confident lawyers broadly educated in the skills, traditions, and ethics of practice.  We offer three degree programs: the JD, the JD/MBA, and the LLM in American Law.

As a law school, our character is unique: The course work is  challenging; the preparation for practice is excellent; our faculty is among the most productive law school faculties in the nation in terms of scholarship—and yet our community is unusually supportive and engaging.  This special character reflects both our mission and our commitments to our students, and it's the feature that alumni often recall with gratitude and pride.
