The University of Connecticut School of Law is a public law school based in Hartford, Connecticut, within the University of Connecticut system. Founded in 1921, it is accredited by the American Bar Association and a member of the Association of American Law Schools. Its campus is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Law Library is among the largest in the world. The school aims to educate lawyers through a curriculum that emphasizes intellectual discipline and professional analytic skills, preparing graduates for practice in any jurisdiction and in roles across the bar, government, business, and education. It stresses small-class learning, civil discourse, and a range of instructional formats, such as clinical work, skills training, interdisciplinary approaches, and problem-method courses, without special emphasis on Connecticut law.
