Why Utah Law? From our highly engaged faculty to our unparalleled setting, there are abundant reasons the S.J. Quinney College of Law is the perfect fit for you. AN UNMATCHED LOCATION. No other law school has such easy access to both a booming metro area and the adventure of a lifetime. Utah Law is just 10 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, and 15 minutes from Utah’s world-renowned outdoor recreation. A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT. Utah Law stands apart thanks to its small size and tight-knit student body. Our students consistently say the community they find here is unique—and helps them become better lawyers after graduating. There’s a range of resources to help students maximize their time in law school, from our Academic Success Program to a dedicated in-house mental health counselor. A COMMUNITY OF TRAILBLAZERS. I am proud to be the first woman and first Native American to serve as dean of Utah Law, and I’m in good company: Utah Law’s alumni change the world. Our graduates have broken race and gender barriers in the judiciary, they lead innovative companies improving the world, and they develop initiatives to strengthen communities around the globe. AN INCREDIBLE FACULTY. Some law schools have faculty who focus on research. Others are strong in teaching. At Utah Law, you’ll find both in abundance. Our students rave about the professors here, who are talented teachers and accessible mentors—in addition to being among the top scholars in their fields.

I hope you’ll visit us to see for yourself. Our Admissions team is also ready to answer questions and help you explore everything Utah Law has to offer.
