College of Law
Give to IowaThe University of Iowa College of Law, founded in 1865, was the first public law school west of the Mississippi River. Throughout its long history, the college has counted among its graduates and faculty many distinguished members of the federal, state, and tribal judiciaries. The UI produced one of the first women to graduate from any law school in the nation, one of the earliest African-American law school graduates, and the first United States Attorney of American Indian ancestry. The college also was a founding member of the Association of American Law Schools in 1929.
Currently ranked 26th in the nation overall by U.S.News & World Report, the college is committed to exceptional scholarship, innovative teaching, and service to local, state, national, and international communities. Our aspiration is to imagine a future that is worthy of our inspired past, and private support is instrumental in the college’s continued success. Kicked off in the fall of 2012, the Iowa Law School Foundation is currently conducting a $50 million fundraising campaign to secure the resources that will allow us to re-examine, strengthen, and innovate the people and programs of the Iowa Law School.
Through Iowa Inspired: The Campaign for Iowa Law we will build on our foundation of excellence and innovation, and invest in the transformational ideas that will reshape legal education for the 21st century—our new frontier.
