The small entering class of about 175-195 students is a diverse group selected from the top of the nation's applicant pool. Believing that the learning community is enhanced by the presence of those traditionally underrepresented in the legal community, we actively recruit a diverse student body. The Fall 2003 entering class is 45% women and 31% students of color. Over 200 colleges and universities are represented in our entire student body, and our students hail from 44 states and 28 foreign countries. Our students lead more than 45 societies and organizations, conduct an extensive moot court competition, produce a full-length original musical, run an elaborate trivia tournament, win an astonishing number of intramural sports championships, and organize a weekly Wine Mess (a social event for students, staff, and faculty every Friday afternoon).

We believe that Chicago occupies a unique niche among this country's leading law schools. We pride ourselves on providing a rigorous professional education that prepares our students for distinguished careers in private practice and public service. We offer an unparalleled commitment to both teaching and scholarship in a small, close-knit learning community that draws upon the intellectual and material resources of one of the world's foremost universities and one of the nation's premier cities.
