UND Law is North Dakota's only law school and offers a close-knit, practice-oriented legal education with particular strengths in energy, natural resources, and rural practice.
Students benefit from small classes, accessible faculty, and clinics and externships that connect them with courts, agencies, and law offices across North Dakota, including opportunities to work on tribal and rural legal issues.
Graduates primarily practice in North Dakota and neighboring states, taking positions in small and mid-sized firms, government, prosecution and defense, and judicial clerkships across the region.
