- The University of Minnesota Law School, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a professional school of the University of Minnesota. The school offers a Juris Doctor (J.D. ), Masters of Law (LL.M. ) for Foreign Lawyers, and joint degrees with J.D. /M.B.A. , J.D. /M.P. A, J.D. /M.A. , J.D. /M.S. , J.D. /Ph.D. , J.D. /M.D. , J.D. /M.P.P. , J.D. /M.B.S. , J.D. /M.P. , J.D. /M.B.T. , J.D. /M.U.R.P. , and J.D. /M.P.H. The school is currently ranked 20th in the U.S. News & World Report "Best Law Schools" rankings and 11th overall in the annual 2009 Judging the Law Schools rankings.. Tuition and fees for a resident are $25,400. Non-residents pay $34,900. According to a study by The National Law Journal, 18.1% of the law school's 2006 graduates joined the United States' 250 largest law firms; the number is relatively low compared to peer institutions, though the Law School claims it is related to the small number of very large law firms in its region. Founded in 1888, the Law School is consistently ranked among the top 25 law schools in the nation and has a reputation for turning out outstanding lawyers and public servants. With approximately 860 students, the Law School maintains a 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Admission into the Law School is highly competitive. All first-year classes are graded on a curve. Most upper-level classes are graded on a curve as well; only those classes with the smallest of enrollments are relieved of the curve. The five-year average bar exam passage rate is 99.18%. The Law School's 10th Dean is Professor David Wippman, former Vice Provost for International Relations and Professor of Law, Cornell University. The Law Library is the 8th largest of its kind in the United States, with over 1,000,000 volumes, and is open to the students 24 hours a day throughout the year. The chief librarian at the school is Joan S. Howland, who joined the Law School in 1992. Of particular note is The Riesenfeld Rare Books Research Center, which houses one of the top three collections of rare legal texts in the nation. For its millionth volume, the Law School acquired the papers of Clarence Darrow. In 1999-2001, the Law School initiated and completed an expansion of its facilities on the west bank of the University campus. This larger building was renamed Walter F. Mondale Hall in honor of one its most distinguished alumni, former Vice President Walter Mondale (Law Class of 1956). There are 19 legal education clinics, offering students the opportunity to handle real legal cases under supervision of teaching attorneys. The school also has a formal moot court system, in which a majority of students participate. Second year J. D students are required to participate in either a moot court or legal journal.
