Activities / Organizations:

What do you like about TU Law? My brother is a TU Law graduate, and encouraged me to attend TU. I visited the campus, and really liked the atmosphere at the law school, especially the interaction between students and professors. I was also drawn to TU Law because of its program in International Law. Regionally speaking, TU Law offers more courses in International law, has a Law Journal specifically dedicated to International Law, and you can have the opportunity to study abroad in Europe, China or Latin America! Also, Professors teaching in the field of international law are national experts. And, nationally speaking, TU Law has one of the best programs in Energy Law and Native American Law. I took all these factors into consideration when applying, and I am very glad I took the decision of attending TU Law.
