Because of an admission process that stresses diversity and life-learning achievements as well as outstanding academic success, University of Wisconsin law students are an incredibly varied and accomplished group. Out of a student body of approximately 850 students, about 40% of the students come from outside of Wisconsin. Forty-seven percent of our enrolled students are women; twenty-five percent are students of color.
We are known for our interesting student body and for our friendly, collegial environment. There is a special feeling of community in the school and an informal, supportive atmosphere, reflecting a special commitment by faculty and administrators to student learning, morale, and well-being.
