School of Law
Training the Leaders of Tomorrow
For generations, the University of Mississippi School of Law has produced judges, governors, legislators, business leaders, and advocates for the underserved. Yet, the demand for skilled, ethical lawyers—especially in Mississippi and rural communities nationwide—continues to grow.
To meet this need, we must attract top students, support world-class faculty, and expand innovative programs. Your investment in the School of Law fuels these efforts, shaping the future of legal leadership.
The Medgar Evers Law Scholarship: Opening Doors For Future Leaders
Civil rights icon Medgar Evers applied to our law school in 1954 but was denied admission due to segregation. Today, the Medgar Evers Law Scholarship, established by Professor Emeritus John Robin Bradley, ensures that future leaders in justice have opportunities that Evers did not.
