Founded in 1967, Texas Tech University School of Law is accredited by the ABA and the Supreme Court of Texas, and the school is a member of the selective Association of American Law Schools. In addition, a chapter of the Order of the Coif was established in 1974, a distinction accorded to only one-third of American law schools. Texas Tech Law is known for its value, which provides students with an exceptional legal education at a reasonable cost. In fact, Texas Tech Law has been nationally recognized for providing one of the state’s best values in legal education.

Texas Tech Law is located in Lubbock on the main campus of Texas Tech University, and thus students enjoy the benefits of being a part of a larger university system. With a population of more than 310,000, the Lubbock metropolitan area is home to Big 12 sports, award-winning wineries, museums, and more.

At Texas Tech Law, our goal is to create a welcoming, student-centered environment. For example, Texas Tech Law’s Office of Academic Success is dedicated to helping every student achieve academic success by providing tutoring services, study-aids, and workshops throughout the year. Additionally, two full-time professors direct our bar exam preparation efforts, offering students many opportunities for practice and study beyond commercial bar preparation courses.

Our faculty embraces an open-door policy, enabling students to engage in continuing dialogue beyond formal class hours. Indeed, Texas Tech Law has a long and proud tradition of graduating students who are more prepared to practice law. In this regard, we provide students with an opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge through our nationally recognized advocacy program, robust clinical programs, the regional externship program, and our Legal Practice program. These programs, coupled with our curriculum and commitment to student learning, help Texas Tech Law continue to excel in its bar passage and employment rates.
