About the School

Quote:
With a student body of approximately 440 and one of the lowest student/faculty ratios of any law school — 15 to 1 — the UALR Bowen School of Law offers a challenging educational experience in a close and supportive environment. Smaller classes enhance the learning experience. Students interact with their peers and with the members of the faculty to a degree not possible at many schools. Our faculty is an experienced group of caring teachers and scholars. The academic experience at the UALR Bowen School of Law is challenging and rigorous, yet supportive. In addition, our low tuition enables our graduates to choose among a wide variety of employment opportunities without worrying about paying off an enormous debt.

Our curriculum emphasizes both theory and practice. Like most law schools UALR requires a basic core of courses but offers numerous electives. Unlike most law schools, however, UALR requires two "lawyering skills" courses during the second year. In these courses, students are taught skills used in trial advocacy, interviewing and counseling, mediation and negotiation. We also offer three clinical programs: the litigation clinic, where students represent actual clients in court; the mediation clinic, where students gain practical experience in alternative dispute resolution; and the tax clinic, where students represent actual clients who have controversies with the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, UALR Bowen School of Law offers externship programs, where students can learn and work in legal settings, for judges, legal services providers and legislators, earning academic credit.

The Arkansas General Assembly established the UALR Bowen School of Law in 1975. We are accredited by the American Bar Association and are a member of the Association of American Law Schools.

UALR William H. Bowen School of Law: Admissions

Objective:
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law seeks to attract highly qualified applicants from diverse backgrounds who will make positive contributions to the law school and ultimately to the legal profession and society.

Evaluation Process:
Bowen takes a “holistic” approach to admissions, meaning the Admissions Committee assesses a wide array of applicant factors. For most applicants, the personal statement, LSAT score(s), and UGPA will form the bases of our decisions. Bowen also values inclusion and is committed to enrolling students of diverse ethnicities, life experiences, and professional backgrounds.

Admission:
Admission to Bowen is competitive. Our admit rate is typically around 25%. Bowen utilizes a “rolling” admissions process where applicants are considered for admission as their application files become “complete.” In our process, earlier applicants tend to have an advantage over later applicants. We begin making offers of admission in October of each year, and continue until all seats in the class are filled. We will not consider an applicant until he/she has submitted all required documents.
