“Tennessee Law is a hidden gem tucked away in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. As you consider which law school you will attend, you will hear tales of how intimidating and unwelcoming law school can be. UT Law is nothing like what you would expect law school to be and everything you want it to be. The magic of practical hands-on education and the collegiality of the law school community makes UT Law the perfect place to learn how to become an excellent practitioner of the law and a conscientious leader who cares deeply about making your community a better place for all.”

Alé Dalton
Tennessee Law Class of '16

“My education at Tennessee Law prepared me to hit the ground running as an attorney by providing experiential components to my doctrinal courses. Additionally, my experience in the advocacy clinic allowed me to gain the full experience of representing a client, advocating for their needs, and seeing their case through to a positive resolution.”

Johnelle Simpson
Tennessee Law Class of '21
