SCHOOL OF LAW

The admissions office welcomes prospective applicants and visitors to the law school. If you are interested in visiting, please call us at (512) 232-1200 or e-mail us at admissions@law.utexas.edu

Guided tours and class visits are generally available during the school year. A full tour and class visit will take approximately two hours, which should be kept in mind when scheduling your visit.

In addition, please note:

• Advance notice is required to organize a tour; one to two days notice is preferred.
• Up to ten individuals can be accommodated in one tour group.
• Tours begin the second full week of class and end two weeks before finals each semester. 
• Guided tours are not available during the summer. Instead, we offer self-guided tours during the summer and upon request during the school year.
