UNT-Dallas College of Law is already filling a critical need for lawyers | Opinion
First-year law student Aretha Agyare raises her hand to ask a question during a lecture at the UNT Dallas College of Law in Dallas on Saturday, Aug. 13, 2016. Last week, the University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law announced it received full accreditation by the American Bar Association.
North Texas grew to become the nation’s largest metropolitan area without a public law school. The bill analysis noted that Texas-trained attorneys were in such short supply that local law firms imported one-third of their lawyers from out-of-state law schools. Moreover, 75% of Texas families who sought legal aid were turned away and 90% of Texans’ civil needs were not being met, according to Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan Hecht.
Today, UNT-Dallas College of Law is raising the bar for innovation, accessibility, diversity and affordability. Students gain real-world experience because of its emphasis on practice-ready curriculum. Working professionals can become lawyers thanks to its part-time classes. The student body, which is over 75% Hispanic and Black, is among the nation’s most diverse. With an annual tuition under $20,000 , graduates can afford to give back to Texas through public service.
