James E. Rogers College of Law

James E. Rogers College of Law is the law school at the University of Arizona located in Tucson, Arizona. It is named after noted broadcasting mogul and philanthropist James E. Rogers, a 1962 graduate of the school. The law school is approved by the American Bar Association and opened in 1915. It was the first law school founded in the State of Arizona. The Rogers College of Law is consistently ranked in the top tier of law schools in the U.S., and was ranked 38th nationally by U.S. News and World Report in 2008. The Rogers College of Law is one of 80 law schools nationwide to have a chapter of the Order of the Coif. It has two student publications: Arizona Law Review and Arizona Journal of International and Comparative Law.

The school's first-year curriculum differs somewhat from that of most law schools; in addition to Torts, Contracts, Constitutional Law, Civil Procedure, and Property, the school also requires "The Regulatory State"--a course on legislative and administrative law. The first-year curriculum also requires Criminal Procedure rather than Criminal Law.

In addition to the J.D. program, the school offers LLM degrees in Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy, and International Trade and Business Law and . The International Trade and Business Law program is offered in coordination with the National Law Center for Inter-American Free Trade. Students finishing their LLM degree in either program may continue on to an S.J.D. degree after completing substantial original research into their field of study.

Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor served as the Jurist in Residence for the 2005-2006 academic term. In the spring semesters of 2006 through 2008, she has taught a course on the Supreme Court.

In Fall 2006, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg delivered the 27th Isaac Marks Lecture at the school, entitled "Reflections on Arizona’s Pace-Setting Justices: William Hubbs Rehnquist and Sandra Day O’Connor. [http://www.law.arizona.edu/Events/Marks/marks2007.cfm] "

In Spring 2006, 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi taught a course titled "Islam and Human Rights."

Toni Massaro is the current Dean. Several of the school's professors are the preeminent experts in their field, including Dan Dobbs (torts), Tom Mauet (trial advocacy) and Boris Kozolchyk (international commercial law). The school boasts 32 full-time faculty members.

Beginning with the Fall 2008 semester, classes will return to the law building after its multi-million dollar renovation.
