You have decided to go to law school and now face the daunting
task of choosing a school that is right for you. Both decisions will
have a profound eect on your life. At the University of Houston
Law Center, you will experience the power of a legal education
by learning to think like a lawyer. This means that you learn to
write precisely, analyze rigorously, advocate persuasively, and
uphold the highest standards of professional conduct. A UH Law
Center education will empower you to secure justice for clients,
advocate for those in need, and perhaps help set right some societal wrongs. The
University of Houston Law Center is the right school to start you on this rewarding
career path. We are a top-ranked school with a rst-class faculty, nationally-ranked
academic centers and institutes, innovative clinics, an enthusiastic and talented
sta, great students, and a vibrant and engaged alumni base. On a practical level,
the UH Law Center ranks among the nation’s “Best Value” law schools and boasts
an employment record that places it among the top “Go To” law schools for the
number of graduates hired by the nation’s 100 largest rms. Big or small rms,
government sector, public interest, or elsewhere, UH Law Center graduates are in
great demand. I am extremely excited about the future of the University of Houston
Law Center and deeply committed to the future success of all of its students.

Dean and Professor of Law
Why the UH Law Center
Location
We are located in Houston, one of the nation’s
top legal markets. The city is also home to the
world’s largest health care and medical complex,
the Texas Medical Center, and is recognized as
the energy capital of the world with multiple
Fortune 500 companies headquartered here.
Best value
Distinguished by its relatively modest tuition for
being in one of the nation's largest metropolitan
areas, the UH Law Center has been cited as one
of the “best values” in legal education today by
preLaw, a National Jurist magazine.
Highly ranked
We are ranked in the top tier out of the nearly 200
ABA-accredited law schools in the United States.
Career services
UHLC's outstanding Career Development Office
offers support in and out of the classroom with its
mission to equip students and graduates with the
resources and skills to successfully generate and
take advantage of professional opportunities.
Exceptional faculty
Our outstanding faculty are recognized leaders
in their respective fields as well as classroom
teachers of the first rank. Adjunct faculty drawn
from the practicing bar augment our curriculum
with “real world” perspectives on the law.
Global reach
The UH Law Center is truly a global school with
strong connections to the international legal and
education communities. The international activities
of our faculty include visiting professorships,
publications in foreign journals, and participation in
international symposia and conferences. Students
can also be exchange students at other legal
institutions around the world.

faculty, a variety of well-run clinical
programs, and a good record of placement
in desirable legal markets.

Nationally-recognized specialty programs
The specialty programs and institutes housed at
the UH Law Center add depth and dimension to
our curriculum, and U.S. News & World Report
consistently ranks our Intellectual Property &
Information Law Institute and our Health Law &
Policy Institute, as well as our Part-Time Evening
Program, among the top ten in the nation.
Active alumni
The UH Law Center has more than 17,000
alumni, and many live in the greater Houston
area, as well as all over the country. Regardless
of where they make their home, UH Law Center
alumni are recognized as high achievers in the
legal profession.
A leading library of the law
Students have access to almost 4,000,000 titles
through the University libraries.
Dual degrees
The UH Law Center offers nine combined and
concurrent degree programs.
Practical training
Upper-division students can participate in our
nationally-ranked clinics under the supervision
of clinical faculty, learning invaluable skills while
serving members of the community who require
legal assistance.
I chose to attend the University of Houston
Law Center because of its affordability
compared to other law schools in Houston.
Attending the Law Center was a strategic
decision as much as it was a financial
decision. The curriculum is replete
with business law courses – taught by
exceptional legal practitioners – that cater
to my specific career ambitions.
Houston has all the amenities and advantages that you would expect
from the fourth largest city in the United States, but there is a lot more
to our city than its status as a thriving metropolis. Houston’s cost of
living is lower than almost every other major city in the U.S., so law
students can enjoy all the benets of big-city living without the big-city
price tag.
We boast a vibrant legal community that has weathered the ups and
downs of the economy better than most other major metropolitan cities,
and Houston oers unparalleled career opportunities in many booming
practice areas such as intellectual property, health care, energy,
immigration, tax, and international law. If you’re looking for a top law
school in a perfect urban setting, you will nd it at the University of
Houston Law Center. The economy is booming, the arts are thriving, and
there's a food truck on nearly every corner. Still need persuading? Take a
look at our list of why we cannot get enough of Houston.

Houston: Exceptional City.
Exceptional Value. Exceptional Law School.
I love being a student at the Law Center
because of the direct access I have to the
global economy. Houston is one of the
largest and most diverse cities in this
country, and I’ve been able to meet lawyers
from different walks of life in various
industries. The Law Center has provided
me with fantastic opportunities to carve
my own path and take charge of my legal
career. I’ve formed wonderful relationships
with the faculty and staff because they are
invested in the success of every student. As
a first-generation law student, I couldn’t
have picked a better place to be.
Sports and Entertainment
One of our biggest attractions is the Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo, taking place every
March and bringing in big-name performers,
as well as donating millions of dollars in
scholarships to Texas high school students.
Need some culture in your life? Try visiting the
Houston Museum of Natural Science (dinosaurs!),
the Museum of Fine Arts, the Contemporary Arts
Museum, the Health Museum, the Children’s
Museum, or the Buffalo Soldiers National
Museum – just to name a few. Don't forget about
our incredible theater district, minutes from
downtown, as well as wildlife viewing at the
Houston Zoo.
Need some green space? Check out Memorial
Park, Hermann Park, Buffalo Bayou Trails, and
Discovery Green.
Houston has four amazing stadiums, two of
which are regularly used for concerts and other
events: NRG Stadium, home of the Texans (foot-
ball); the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets (bas-
ketball); Dynamo Stadium, home of the Dynamo
(soccer); and Minute Maid Park, home of the
Astros (baseball). In addition, we also house the
eighth wonder of the world, a.k.a. the Astrodome.
Food and Travel
If you need a little surf and sand, we have
beaches and waterfronts only an hour away in
Galveston, Kemah, and Surfside.
Hungry? We’ve got you covered in Houston with
an amazing, ethnically-diverse restaurant scene,
saturated with award-winning chefs and every
type of cuisine imaginable. If you can’t find it in
Houston, chances are you can’t find it anywhere!
Food trucks are also an increasingly popular addi-
tion to our foodie-centric culture.

Career: Associate attorney, Foley & Lardner
I came into law school with the plan of
experiencing everything the law has to
offer before choosing my career path. I got
involved with everything, and that allowed
me to find my specialty. It’s hard to single
out individuals as the best resources, because
everyone is here to assist you in their own
specialized way. Forced to choose, I would
say the professors are the best resources
because they are content experts, and many
have work experience and great connections
you can access. On top of that, professors
at the Law Center want to mentor students
and will help those seeking assistance in any
way they can.
The UH Law Center Experience
Faculty
The faculty of the UH Law Center is recognized nationally and internationally for its
expertise in elds such as intellectual property & information law, health law, international
law, energy law, and tax law. Professors lecture, teach, and participate in symposia the
world over. The collective scholarship of tenured faculty ranks in the upper tier nationally
based on the number of law journal citations over the past ve years. Our faculty members
are not only authors and scholars, they also are dedicated teachers committed to your
success. Our low student-to-faculty ratio allows for a more personal relationship than
found at other schools. The combination of legal theory and practical application taught by
a faculty of recognized experts, clinical professors, researchers, and adjuncts drawn from
practitioners with “real world” perspectives on the law gives our graduates the tools to
succeed in today’s competitive market. The bottom line for UH Law Center students is easy
to dene: at the UH Law Center, you have the chance to learn from the best.
UH Law Center Courses
The UH Law Center oers one of the largest course selections in the country, which
prepares students for almost any legal discipline and allows concentrations in specic
areas. In their second and third years, J.D. students have only three course requirements —
Professional Responsibility, six credit hours of experiential courses (including simulation
courses, law clinics, and eld placements), and an upper-level writing requirement.
Students may customize their remaining coursework with a range of recommended and
elective courses, seminars, and clinical experiences.
The staff and the faculty of the UH Law
Center are top notch. When looking at
law schools, choose a law school that cares
beyond when you get into the door. Choose
a school that sees you as a person and looks
to assure your success beyond graduation.

I love the atmosphere at UHLC. Each year,
we receive an interesting and energetic
class of new students, all eager to earn
their law degrees so that they can make
the world a better place. It is a privilege
to work at a place that is so intellectually
stimulating and that gives back to its
community in a variety of different ways. I
also like working closely with students and
introducing them to a whole new way of
thinking about the world around them. It
is a very rewarding job.
Centers of Excellence
Eleven institutes and centers, two of which are perennially ranked among the “Top 10” in the
nation, distinguish the University of Houston Law Center. Each of these special programs adds
depth to our curriculum and creates educational opportunities that other law schools simply
cannot match.
Center for Children, Law & Policy pursues legal
and interdisciplinary advocacy, scholarship, and
teaching to advance the interests of children through
public policy (law.uh.edu/center4clp).
Center for U.S. and Mexican Law is the first
independent research center in the United States
dedicated to the study of Mexican law and legal
aspects of U.S.-Mexico relations
(law.uh.edu/mexican-law).
Criminal Justice Institute aims to enhance the
practice of criminal law at the local, national, and
international levels
(law.uh.edu/cji/homepage.asp).
Environment, Energy & Natural Resources
Center is housed in the acknowledged Energy
Capital of the World, which provides a forum for
education and discussion of some of the most
important issues of the day, such as climate change,
air pollution, clean coal, and renewable energy (law.
uh.edu/eenrcenter)
.
Health Law & Policy Institute offers one of the
nation’s top-ranked programs in health law. The
institute works to advance understanding of health
law issues and to provide guidance for significant
policy decisions affecting every element of health
care. HLPI also houses the Center for Biotechnology
& the Law (law.uh.edu/healthlaw).

Information Law is one of the nation’s strongest
and oldest IP programs, and coordinates study,
research, and writing on patent, trademark,
copyright, trade secret, and information law (law.

.
Program on Law and Computation is designed to
bring together a spectrum of specializations united
by a heavy reliance on computation and the law.
The program examines the many ways in which
computers and software technologies change how
law is perceived and studied
(law.uh.edu/polac/homepage.asp).
Tax Law Program boasts a level of sophistication
that has earned it national prominence and status in
the southwest United States. Proficient tax lawyers
are in demand, and UHLC is poised to fill that need
(law.uh.edu/tax).
Texas Innocence Network is comprised of two
divisions: the Capital Division and the Non-Capital
Division. Attorneys and student interns work
together on these cases to provide the support
needed for both divisions (law.uh.edu/TIN).
I love the UH Law Center’s dedication to
student success, which is what attracted me
to the school in the first place. From the first
time I came to visit, I could feel that the
professors were invested in their students
and really wanted them to succeed. My
professors now all have an open door policy
and always make me feel comfortable when
asking questions or just chatting.
Clinical Legal Education Program
Clinics provide students with hands-on, practical legal experience while still in law school. Under
the guidance of clinical faculty, students handle all aspects of cases from interviewing to ling
motions to conducting trials in court. Our clinical programs seek to accomplish three goals:
Train students to be competent, professional, and
ethical advocates;
Provide first-rate pro bono legal representation to
indigent clients and communities in Harris County;
and
Support the courts and legislature in developing
policies that can improve the surrounding
communities.
UHLC offers nine clinic options:
Appellate Civil Rights Clinic represents litigants
and amici in appeals of civil rights claims in federal
and state courts.
Civil Practice Clinic handles matters including
bankruptcy, divorce, domestic violence, juvenile
cases, landlord-tenant, estate planning, and probate
(law.uh.edu/clinic/civil.asp).
Consumer Law Clinic focuses on cases ranging
from deceptive trade practices to credit and debt
collection problems and other consumer issues
(law.uh.edu/clinic/consumerlaw.asp).
Criminal Defense Clinic assigns students
misdemeanor cases with a high probability of going
to trial. Students handle all aspects of the case from
arraignment to fact investigation to trial
(law.uh.edu/clinic/criminaldefenseclinic.asp).
Entertainment Law Clinic is an advanced
entertainment law course for students seeking
practical experience in transactional and
administrative aspects of the entertainment industry.
Entrepreneurship and Community
Development Clinic gives students the tools
to assist small businesses and nonprofits with
legal matters ranging from lease agreements to
employment policies (law.uh.edu/clinic/ecdc.asp).
Immigration Clinic handles various immigration
issues, including asylum, domestic violence, and
human trafficking
(law.uh.edu/clinic/immi.asp).
Mediation Clinic teaches students to mediate
consumer issues, landlord-tenant disputes, and
breach of contract cases for the Justice Courts in
Harris County
(law.uh.edu/clinic/mediate.asp).
Military Justice Clinic will assign students to
defense teams in military criminal justice cases
pending adverse administrative board hearings and
felony-level courts-martial.

I chose the UH Law Center because I
want to pursue a career in health law, and
the Law Center is widely known for that
specialty. Houston holds special meaning
to me because my family is here, my full-
time job is here, and UHLC offered the
flexibility for me to attend school part-time
while gaining a respected legal education.
My favorite part about the school is getting
to know my diverse and accomplished
classmates – we have people who come
from all different backgrounds with
all different perspectives, which makes
everything more interesting!
The UH Law Center Experience
Externships, Clerkships & Fellowships
The UH Law Center administers several programs to help upper-level students gain hands-on
experience and exposure to the legal eld while building their resumes and expanding their
professional networks.
Externships
Judicial Externship Program allows students to
earn academic credit while working with federal
and state judges at the trial and appellate levels (law.
uh.edu/externship/judicial.asp).
Government & Nonprofit Externship Program
is supported through the Government and Public
Interest Table Talk (GPITT). Each year, the Career
Development Office (CDO) hosts 45+ employers
seeking to meet and hire UH Law Center students
for government and public interest positions
(law.uh.edu/pil/UHTTemployerinfo.asp); (law.uh.edu/
externship/externship.asp).
Clerkships
Legal & Alternative Career Clerkships are
coordinated through the CDO through a variety of
programs, including: On-Campus Interviews (OCI),
Small & Mid-Size Firm Open House, Alternative
Career/In-house Legal Table Talk, GPITT,
Apprentice Program, Job Bank Database, and off-
campus job fairs.
Fellowships
Global Fellowship Program supports students
pursuing international placements during the
summer with government and nonprofit agencies
(law.uh.edu/pil/global-fellowship-program.asp).
Summer Public Interest Fellowship Program
is hosted by the CDO and provides opportunities
for work exposure in the public interest legal
community, thereby instilling an excitement about
and a commitment to public service in our students
(law.uh.edu/pil/summer.asp).
Graduate Fellowship Program is also hosted by
the CDO and makes it possible for recent graduates
who are dedicated to careers in public service to
pursue unpaid internships while awaiting bar results

Law school will help you in your career no
matter what path you ultimately choose,
even if you decide later you don’t want to
practice law. If you want to think critically,
write concisely, and speak persuasively,
you should highly consider attending law
school – especially at the UH Law Center!
Attending law school just gets better
with time. Treat it like a full-time job: be
organized, be committed, and work hard. If
you do, you will reap the benefits.
Blakely Advocacy Institute
Advocacy skills are central to the practice of law, and the UH Law Center’s advocacy program is
recognized as one of the broadest and best in the nation.
Through the education of law students to become
accomplished members of the legal profession, the
Blakely Advocacy Institute merges substantive law
and lawyering skills to enhance the local, national
and international legal communities. Upper-
division students are eligible to join the UH Law
Center’s highly successful mock trial, moot court,
and alternative dispute resolution interscholastic
teams, which continue to fill the Institute’s trophy
cases with their impressive wins.
(law.uh.edu/blakely/
homepage.asp).
Joint Degree Programs
The UH Law Center is among the national leaders in the number of dual degree programs
oered. Our innovative programs allow students to earn two degrees in less time than it would
take to complete the degrees separately.
Students interested in pursuing dual degree
options must apply to, and earn acceptances from,
both programs within one calendar year with the
exception of the J.D./LL.M. If one of the approved
dual degree programs does not fulfill a student’s
educational goals, the UH Law Center also allows
students to earn credit in other graduate programs
with prior course approval (law.uh.edu/academic/
dual-degree.asp).
Dual degree programs include:
• J.D./LL.M. (both completed at UHLC)
• J.D./M.B.A. with the University of Houston
C.T. Bauer College of Business

Without a doubt, my favorite thing about
the UH Law Center is the student body. Our
students are bright and hard working, but
they are also fun and enthusiastic. Nothing
makes me happier than having a former
student come back to tell me that s/he was
selected for Law Review, won a moot court
competition, or was offered a job. Their
successes are my greatest professional joys.

Journals
After completing the rst year of study, UH Law Center students can gain valuable writing
experience while working on one of the school’s acclaimed student-run journals.
First-year grades and demonstrated proficiency
in legal writing are the critical criteria that lead to
membership in these journals, and membership is
offered during the summer after first year.
Houston Law Review, widely cited as one of the
nation’s top journals, publishes a varied body of legal
scholarship to serve the professional and academic
communities
(houstonlawreview.org).
Houston Business and Tax Law Journal
consistently ranks as a “Top 10” journal in its
specialty area. The HBTLJ focuses on a wide range
of law, including corporate, securities, bankruptcy,
antitrust, intellectual property, employment, labor,
mergers/acquisitions, and tax (hbtlj.org).
Journal of Consumer & Commercial Law is
published by UH Law Center students on behalf of
the Consumer and Commercial Law Section of the
State Bar of Texas (jtexconsumerlaw.com).
Houston Journal of Health Law and Policy builds
on the strength of the UH Law Center’s highly-
ranked health law program with a widely-respected
scholarly publication focusing on emerging issues in
the field
(law.uh.edu/hjhlp).
Houston Journal of International Law assembles
articles written by practicing professionals,
educators, and students on a broad range of topics
in international and comparative law, including
international business, finance, torts, crime, and
human rights (hjil.org).

The Part-Time Evening Program at the
University of Houston Law Center is
the perfect fit for me because it offers me
a flexible schedule and the staff truly
understands the time constraints and
external demands on students with full-time
jobs. During the summer, UHLC offers
classes via distance learning, enabling me
to maximize the time I get to spend with
my son during his break from school. The
relationships I’ve built with my fellow
classmates and the camaraderie we share in
the part-time program will last a lifetime.
Student Organizations
The UH Law Center extends learning beyond the classroom with a full range of student
organizations that represent students’ diverse interests and provide tools to help students
succeed.

ent Affairs
The Office of St
udent Affairs exists for one reason: to help UH Law Center students achieve
their educational goals while keeping other pressures in check. This is the one-stop shop for
answers to challenges ranging from counseling and registration services to nancial aid.
Resources for new students include the Academic
Enrichment Program, which helps incoming law
students transition into law school by providing
section tutors to help with course materials and
to augment study and test-taking skills. Tutorials
are open to all first-year students. The UH Law
Center also offers the 1L Mentoring Program that
helps new students acclimate to life at law school.
The program pairs first-year students with faculty
and upper-class law students who serve as mentors
and share perspectives on everything from course
selections to career goals (law.uh.edu/student).

The restaurant scene in Houston is
incredible! It is constantly growing and
changing, and there is always something
new to try, even on a law school student’s
budget. Also, most people (including me)
who haven’t ever lived in Houston think it’s
all concrete, highways, and smog. It’s not!
The city has beautiful neighborhoods with
lots of green space and parks throughout,
and they are constantly expanding bike
trails, outdoor theaters, and other activities.
Given the great year-round weather, it’s a
surprisingly nice place to live.
If you want a melting pot, look no further than Houston — our region (including the
suburbs) is consistently ranked as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the nation.
The fact that many Fortune 500 companies, global corporations, law rms, and oil and
gas rms house either their headquarters or major oces here contributes to our city’s
incredible diversity, bringing people from all over the world right to our doorstep. As the
fourth largest city in the United States, Houston is more than a great place to earn a law
degree — it’s also a great city in which to pursue a legal career. The UH Law Center oers
a top-notch education in a collegial, welcoming environment, and in a city with excellent
career prospects — a highly desirable combination that helps us to recruit a diverse
student body. UHLC is recognized as one of the most diverse law schools in the nation by
preLaw and the National Jurist magazines. Law schools are evaluated in several categories,
including percentage of minority faculty and the diversity of the student body.

UH Law Center is a professional
school. It’s a great chance to learn and
develop analytical skills, but it’s also the
development of your professional reputation.
A reliable, trustworthy, professional
reputation in the legal community will last
you a long time.
Campus Resources
The resources oered to students reach far beyond the UH Law Center campus. Whether you
need exercise for stress relief, help with student accommodations, or childcare, the University
of Houston campus has it all.
Campus Recreation and Wellness
Center is
located a few blocks from the UH Law Center. This
amazing facility offers everything from a three-story
rock-climbing wall to a world-class natatorium. A
full range of exercise classes is available, along with
multiple settings for indoor sports, ranging from
soccer to basketball to martial arts (uh.edu/recreation).
Students with Disabilities can receive assistance
through the Justin Dart Jr. Center for Students with
DisABILITIES. The Center provides auxiliary aids,
exam assistance, transcription services, and library
services for students with special needs. With early
notice, the Office of Student Affairs will work with
students to approve and secure accommodations for
anyone in need of assistance (uh.edu/csd).
UH Student Health Center provides a range of
medical services and health counseling and can refer
students to acute-care health facilities when needed.
Health insurance is recommended for all students
and is required for all international students with an
F or J visa status (uh.edu/healthcenter).
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
has professional counselors who are able to assist
students with personal issues ranging from stress-
related disorders to alcohol or drug dependency
(uh.edu/caps).
Child Care on campus is provided by the UH
Children’s Learning Center, which enrolls children
of students, faculty, and staff. Children ages 3
months to 5 years are eligible
(uh.edu/clc).
Graduate and Professional Housing is available at
the University Lofts. The lofts offer an urban-style
living experience with the convenience of being
located across the street from the UH Law Center
(uh.edu/housing/housing-options/university-lofts/).

The J.D. program is a 90-hour curriculum culminating in the Doctor of
Jurisprudence degree. Students can pursue the degree on either a full-
or part-time basis. The Full-Time Program is designed for students who
plan to devote nearly all of their time to the study of law while the Part-
Time Evening Program is designed for students who plan to work during
law school. Applicants must designate in their application to which
program they are applying. Both programs begin in the fall semester.

Admission to the J.D. Program
law.uh.edu/admissions
My favorite class to teach is Disabilities
& the Law. My father lost his legs in a car
accident in 1965, so I grew up with a parent
with a disability. That experience shaped
my understanding of the world and taught
me to value and appreciate differences. My
support for disability rights is what made
me want to go to law school in the first
place! It is an honor to have the opportunity
to share my knowledge and passion with my
students. Disability provides an invaluable
opportunity to discuss social justice. I hope
that students leave my class with a new
perspective on the world that will serve them
not just in the context of disability law but
also in the whole of their legal careers.
To be eligible for admission to the J.D. program,
all applicants must:
• Hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited
college or university;
• Have a recent score on the Law School
Admission Test * (LSAT) or Graduate Record
Examination (GRE); and
• Register with the Law School Admission
Council’s (LSAC) Credential Assembly Service
(CAS).
Your application must include the following,
which should be submitted electronically:
• Completed application form;
• A personal statement of up to three pages,
double-spaced. The personal statement is
extremely valuable in the selection process.
Because we do not grant personal interviews,
this is your opportunity to tell the Admissions
Committee more about yourself. It is, in essence,
your personal interview on paper. You may write
your personal statement on any subject, but you
should include a brief description of your reason
for applying to the University of Houston Law
Center. In the alternative, this information may
be included in an optional statement;
• Résumé, or a list of civic and extracurricular
activities, honors, and work experience;
• Optional statement to explain or highlight
elements in your application that are
not readily apparent. You may write an
optional statement regarding your diversity,
disadvantaged background, socioeconomic
status, grade trends, substantial discrepancy
between your performance on standardized tests
and your actual level of academic achievement,
your interest in attending the University of
Houston Law Center, or any other information
you believe is relevant to the Admissions
Committee that has not been previously
included in your personal statement. Please limit
this statement to no more than one page; and
• Immigration documents (for international
applicants requiring a student visa).
*Effective Fall 2021, UH undergraduate students who 1)
scored at or above the 85th percentile on the ACT or SAT; and
2) have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.6 or above through
six semesters, as calculated by LSAC, will be eligible to apply
without an LSAT score.

I knew going into law school that I wanted
to dedicate my legal career to the energy
industry, and for that, there is no better
place to be than the UH Law Center due
to its wide array of energy, environment,
and natural resource-related courses. As
the energy capital of the nation, Houston
offers so many amazing networking and
career opportunities. I was interested in
IELP [International Energy Lawyers
Program] from the start because it is a
program unique to the UH Law Center,
and promises a truly unique experience
for those wanting to pursue a career in
international energy law.
Your application le must also include a
complete CAS report, which must include:
• Recent LSAT score, not older than five years
prior to date of enrollment (unless submitting a
GRE score);
• Transcripts from all colleges and universities
attended; and
• At least two letters of recommendation (but
no more than three). The most useful letters
of recommendation are those from employers,
professors, or colleagues with whom you have
had close working relationships.
Please note that no application will be reviewed
without the CAS report. It is the applicant’s
responsibility to make sure that his/her CAS report
is complete. You may review your CAS report
status by accessing your LSAC online account.
For more information on registering for the LSAT
or CAS, please visit lsac.org.
BUDGET
The UH Law Center has one of the lowest tuition
rates among top schools in the nation, particularly
for Texas residents, and is ranked among the
nation’s “Best Value” law schools by National Jurist
magazine. Relatively low tuition, coupled with
Houston’s affordable cost of living, allows our
students to graduate with an overall indebtedness
below the national average.
High quality and low cost is a rare combination. At
the UH Law Center, excellence and value are our
hallmarks.
FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Every applicant accepted for admission is
automatically considered for available merit
scholarships, and no additional application is
required. Dean’s Merit Scholarships are offered
to highly-qualified students in each incoming
class. These scholarships vary in number and are
unconditionally renewed each year. Additional
information regarding scholarship selection
criteria and retention information is available at
law.uh.edu/nancialaid/scholarships.asp.
Additionally, the UH Law Center Financial Aid &
Scholarship Office administers a variety of need-
based financial aid programs. Applicants should
begin the financial aid process by completing the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
as soon as possible after January 1. The code for
the University of Houston is 003652. For current
information on tuition and fees, sample budgets,

Admission to the J.D. Program
Applying to Transfer or Visit
If you have attended another ABA-accredited law school and performed well, you may
apply for admission with advanced standing. Considerations include available space at the
UH Law Center, academic records at all previous schools, and compelling circumstances.
TRANSFERS
Transfer applicants must have completed the
equivalent of the first year of law school and
all or most of the UH Law Center's first-year
required courses. Transfer applicants may transfer
a maximum of 30 semester hours of credit, with
hours rather than grades noted on your final UH
Law Center transcript. Transfer credit will not be
awarded for any course in which the student has
earned lower than a “C.” Transfer applications will
not be considered with fewer than 22 graded hours,
and we accept applications for fall and spring start
(law.uh.edu/admissions/transfer.asp).
SEMESTER IN HOUSTON/VISITING
Students in good standing at another ABA-
accredited law school may apply to visit, with
permission from the home law school. Credits
earned go toward degree requirements at their
home school. Current UH Law Center students
have first priority at registration, and visiting
students should submit primary and alternate
course selections to their home school when
seeking approval of potential credits. Visiting
students are not permitted to register for first-year
courses, and they must arrange their financial
aid through their home school via a consortium
agreement arranged through the Office of
Admissions. Visiting applications are accepted for
fall, intersession, spring, spring break, and summer
(law.uh.edu/admissions/visiting.asp).
The UH Law Center offers a joint J.D./LL.M.
degree program which allows students to earn both
degrees in 3.5 years (105 credit hours). Students in
the UHLC J.D. program, including both transfer
and visiting students, may be eligible to participate
in the program. Joint degree students must meet
all J.D. requirements (visiting students from
their home law school) and UHLC LL.M. degree
requirements in order to complete the program.
LL.M. specialty programs eligible for the joint
degree include: Energy, Environment and Natural
Resources Law, Health Law, Intellectual Property
& Information Law, and Tax Law. For additional
information about the LL.M. program please email
or visit
law.uh.edu/llm/.
