I had the privilege of attending SMU Law graduating in 1998. I can't say enough good about how welcoming and supportive they were to me. Terrific faculty and facilities and love the Park Cities!

SMU Dedman School of Law prepared me so well for the practice of law. In addition, I am very grateful that I was able to obtain my law degree there as the resources, the professors, the facilities, and the groundwork between my education and the connections in the global legal community were and have been beyond anything I could have hoped for. I cannot recommend SMU Dedman School of Law enough.

As someone who personally benefitted from this, I feel like I can say that few law schools are able to place their graduates at great firms the way that SMU does. Being in one of the strongest legal markets in the country in Dallas, SMU has deep roots with pretty much every big firm and plenty of the medium and smaller firms. Of course, that is to speak nothing of the top notch professors and administrators. I loved my time at SMU Law, and I will be forever grateful towards it for providing me the start to my career.

I am a proud graduate of SMU Dedman School of Law. My law degree from SMU and the practical skills I gained during my time there have been critical to my career development. The professors, the campus, the career office support, and the links to the vast SMU law alumni are incomparable.

SMU Dedman is a very good regional law school at a private university. If you have the connections, an ample trust fund, an employer paying your tuition, or a full scholarship, it's almost a no-brainer to attend this law school with a top tier faculty. That being said, think twice about going heavily into debt by funding your education here with student loans instead of going to a less expensive public law school. It's not cheap, and those loans have to be paid back.
