ABOUT THE COLLEGE OF LAW

The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law is the oldest law school in Arizona and one of the first established in the West. Since 1915, the College has educated many of Arizona’s most distinguished judges and lawyers; its graduates hold positions of leadership in the legal, corporate, and political arenas in the state, nationwide, and throughout the world.

The College is singularly committed to first-rate teaching, research, and service to the public and legal profession. Our size – a total student body of about 500 – fosters close interaction and a high level of intellectual engagement among students and faculty.

The College has significant course offerings in international and comparative law, including international trade, commercial and business law, public international law and international human rights. In addition, the College offers a unique exchange program with the University of Puerto Rico School of Law for summer or semester-long exchanges, and has cooperative agreements with, inter alia, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, aimed at developing stronger ties between and among the institutions. In cooperation with the National Law Center for Inter-American Free Trade, the College offers a Master of Laws in International Trade Law (LL.M.), which is designed to provide candidates with the theoretical and practical knowledge required to understand current developments in the areas of international trade and commercial law, particularly with regard to Western Hemisphere free trade and economic integration.

Tucson is located in the beautiful Sonoran desert, near the border of two nations, and in a state that embraces tribal lands, with the attendant complexities of multiple cultures and sovereignities. Arizona is a stimulating, unique setting in which to work and to live.
