Community at Iowa Law
Amidst the large university setting, the law school feels surprisingly cozy and intimate. The unique character of Iowa City and Iowa is reflected in the law school community—students, faculty, and staff work alongside each other in a relaxed, friendly, cooperative and collegial environment.
The College Community
Each year, approximately 200 first-year students enter our JD program and 15 foreign-trained legal scholars and practitioners enter our LLM program, preparing to join generations of professional and civic leaders who have shared a unique law school experience that develops analytical skills, independence of mind and keen personal integrity. Students, alumni, faculy and law school staff organize a number of law-centered events each year, including numerous lectures and conferences.

The Iowa City and Coralville Community
Iowa City is an ideal place to study law. It is centrally located between five major Midwest cities, yet it is insulated from the stresses of larger cities, free of urban distractions, allowing scholars to focus on their work. Campus and community are side by side, making it easy to get around by foot, bike, or an efficient bus network.
