They came here from 23 states, plus the District of Columbia, and hold degrees from over 100 undergraduate schools. Their career aspirations are as varied as their backgrounds. Not all students seek to practice law - some may use their legal education in nontraditional ways. They bring a diversity of opinion into the classroom. This diversity creates a stimulating learning environment at Hamline.
Friendships have little to do with age, gender, or race.
But what sets Hamline apart is our ability to give students personal attention. A Marketplace of Ideas Hamline University School of Law is a place where people share ideas and challenge opinions. The school offers a place to disagree, to see that there's another side to every issue, and to learn to respect difference. A multiplicity of ideas and a diversity of viewpoints are critical to Hamline's educational mission. The law school fosters an atmosphere in which students and faculty can discuss and debate issues of current national and international relevance.
