University of Arkansas School of Law

The University of Arkansas School of Law, established in 1924, offers a Juris Doctor degree program and an LL.M. Program in Food & Agricultural Law. The LL.M. program, founded over 30 years ago, was the first advanced law degree in agricultural and food law, providing both face-to-face and distance education options. The school also publishes the nation's first student-edited specialized journal devoted to food law and policy issues.

The School of Law operates a Legal Clinic, which began in 1975 under the direction of then-professor Hillary Rodham Clinton. The clinic aims to provide students with hands-on legal training by representing real clients and offering services to the Northwest Arkansas community.

The Legal Clinic encompasses several specialized areas:

• Civil Litigation and Advocacy Clinic
• Criminal Practice Clinic
• Human Trafficking Clinic
• Immigration Clinic
• Community and Rural Enterprise Development Clinic

These clinics serve various clients, including low-income individuals seeking to enforce rights in civil matters, clients charged with misdemeanor and felony offenses, agencies confronting human trafficking, individuals preparing for immigration law careers, and small businesses, non-profits, cooperatives, and municipalities requiring assistance with transactional and regulatory matters.
