For more than 80 years, St. Mary’s University School of Law has been dedicated to educating prudent, successful and ethical attorneys. We combine our tradition of excellence in legal education with new programs and methodologies to prepare our students for the practice of law in a changing world. We teach our students practical skills that enable them to become professional leaders and effective advocates of legal and social justice.

Our full-time, adjunct and visiting professors include nationally known subject-area experts, former U.S. Supreme Court and White House Clerks and Fellows, and Fulbright Scholars. Our Center for Legal and Social Justice houses a widely recognized clinical program that offers students invaluable hands-on legal training representing San Antonio’s indigent and disadvantaged citizens. St. Mary’s was recognized with the Law School Commitment to Service Award from the Texas Access to Justice Commission in 2009 for this work.

In the heart of our campus lies the Sarita Kenedy East Law Library, the largest legal information center in south Texas. We also have a state-of-the-art courtroom, one of the most technologically advanced in the country, where our nationally recognized advocacy students hone their skills as well as experience visiting courts at work. Our students proudly produce two widely cited publications,
The St. Mary's Law Journal and The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Minority Issues.

St. Mary’s offers two unique study abroad summer programs. The newest is the Institute on Chinese Law and Business , a joint program with Beihang University in Beijing that focuses on the law of representing clients doing business with China. We also offer the
St. Mary’s Institute on World Legal Problems in Innsbruck, Austria, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.

We are always searching for the next class of highly talented and motivated day and evening students to embark upon this journey of legal education. Please explore our website, visit St. Mary’s campus and contact us if we can answer any questions about legal education at St. Mary’s University School of Law.
