The University of New Hampshire School of Law, an intimate, innovative law school, is committed to developing students who enjoy challenging dialogue from the first moments of orientation, embrace practice-based learning, grow through the collegiality of a 12:1 student/faculty ratio, and stand ready to join the ranks of alumni who are global leaders in intellectual property, general practice, public policy, and commerce and technology.
UNH School of Law’s faculty consists of practitioners experienced in their fields of interest. Their open door policy extends throughout the campus from Scholars in Residence to our interim dean, Jordan C. Budd. The small student/faculty ratio promotes collaboration and collegiality as evidenced in our publications, student activities and special events.
Since its founding in 1973, Franklin Pierce Law Center, now the University of New Hampshire School of Law, has been a global leader in innovative legal education. Our focus areas help you shape your future practice: Intellectual Property boasts the largest full-time faculty in the field and our IP library is the largest in the nation; Commerce and Technology includes a razor edge focus on e-Law; while Public Policy & Social Justice trains students in the delivery of legal services to all people in an ever-changing society.
