The University of Montana Law Students

Our students like to be actively involved-in their own education, in the life of the law school, and in the broader community. Aside from the shared environment, our students cannot be stereotyped. About half of each class consists of students who have been out of school from three to 30 years. In fact, the average age of our entering class is 28. So whether you are coming right from college, returning to school while raising a family, or starting a second career, you will find classmates in the same situation. You may find yourself in a class seated next to a teacher, a forester, a minister, or a rancher. You might find yourself in a class with students from 20 states, representing as many as 56 different undergraduate institutions and 40 different majors. This rich mix makes for lively and insightful class discussions.
