About Texas Tech University School of Law

Founded in 1967 Texas Tech University School of Law boasts a rich history In the 1930s Alvin R Allison a self-described ldquocountry lawyer from Levellandrdquo could not afford to attend one of the three American Bar Association-accredited law schools in Texas Instead of attending law school he earned his law license by apprenticing under a local attorney for two years and passing the Texas Bar Examination in 1934

His struggle to become a lawyer inspired his quest to establish a law school in West Texas at his alma mater Texas Technological College The Texas Tech Board of Directors hired Richard B Amandes as the School of Lawrsquos first dean in 1966 and in 1967 the first class comprised of 72 students enrolled at Texas Tech Law The ABA granted accreditation to the school in August 1970 which followed accreditation from the Supreme Court of Texas in 1968 In 1969 Texas Tech Law gained membership to the Association of American Law Schools and in 1974 was elected to the Order of the Coif a qualification shared by less than half of the nationrsquos law schools

Since opening the School of Law has graduated 8432 students including the first woman to head a major federal-law enforcement agency the Armyrsquos highest-ranking legal officer general counsels of corporations elected officials state and federal judges and some of the nationrsquos top litigators

Texas Tech Law offers a robust clinical program three academic centers nine dual-degree programs five concentration programs a regional-externship program a Top 15 legal-practice program a public-service graduation requirement an innovative leadership program and a nationally competitive advocacy program that boasts 39 national and international championships In 2016 the Blakely Advocacy Institute ranked Texas Tech Law number 1 for moot-court programs

Texas Tech Law attracts professors who are passionate about teaching In fact Texas Tech Law has won the Universityrsquos Departmental Excellence in Teaching Award twice in recent years two professors have been recognized with the Chancellorrsquos Council Distinguished Teaching Award since Fall 2013 and seven professors are elected members of the prestigious American Law Institute Texas Tech Law is also the only law school in the country to have had an entire courtmdashthe Seventh Court of Appeals in Amarillomdashteach a full-year course

With quality students talented faculty and devoted staff the School of Law continues to produce gifted attorneys who practice across the state region and country

Mission Statement

The mission of the Texas Tech University School of Law is to prepare individuals for the effective and ethical practice of law in a rapidly changing diverse and interconnected world to engage in meaningful scholarship and to foster a culture of public service

Vision Statement

To be a premier student-centered law school developing effective ethical lawyers and leaders for Texas and for the diverse world of the 21st century
