Founded in 1857, Baylor Law School is the oldest law school in Texas and has been accredited by the American Bar Association since 1931 and a member of the Association of American Law Schools since 1938. Affiliated with Baylor University and located in Waco, Texas, the Law School is singularly clear about its mission – to equip students upon graduation to practice law effectively and ethically. That is the key difference. Students are trained and mentored in all facets of law, including theoretical analysis, practical application, legal writing, advocacy, professional responsibility, and negotiation and counseling skills.

The new home of Baylor Law School, the state-of-the-art Sheila and Walter Umphrey Law Center, recently opened for the Fall 2001 academic term. The project architect is SmithGroup, Inc. of Washington, D.C., which operates across the nation and abroad.



The three-story classically styled structure has 128,000 square feet and is located on the banks of the Brazos River. The site features striking views and beautiful landscaping in a courtyard, on lawns and on a river terrace.

Principal donors include Walter and Sheila Umphrey, John Eddie and Sheridan Williams, and Harold and Carol Ann Nix. The current Building and Endowment Campaign of the Law School has been remarkably successful in underwriting not only the new law center, but also in significantly augmenting our endowment, which is applied principally to student scholarship support for our approximately 400 students.
