Overview
Texas A&M University School of Law traces its origins to Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, founded in 1989, which was acquired by the Texas A&M University System in 2013 and rebranded as Texas A&M University School of Law. Since joining the A&M System, the law school has invested heavily in faculty scholarship, student services, and facilities, propelling dramatic increases in national rankings within a relatively short period. It is best known for its strong bar passage rates in Texas, growing reputation in intellectual property and health law, and its practical, career-focused approach to legal education.
