The School of Law
The School of Law at Wake Forest University, which was established in 1894, has grown in prominence and is consistently ranked among the top law schools in the nation.
The mission of Wake Forest Law is to advance the cause of justice by creating knowledge and educating students to meet the legal needs of the world with confidence, character, and creativity. We instill in students a respect for the law, a devotion to the ideal of service, and a commitment to professional values. We educate students from around the world in a richly diverse, equitable, and inclusive community.
The school offers seven clinics, including clinics focused on appellate advocacy, environmental law, criminal law, intellectual property, and veterans' issues.
