Law school is both challenging and rewarding. At SMU Dedman School of Law there are so many exciting opportunities available to enrich your experience:
- Learn with direct, personal access to an award-winning faculty.
- Connect with alumni and friends with our innovative mentorship program, the Mustang Exchange.
- Experience amazing hands-on opportunities: 10 clinics, programs such as The Corporate Counsel Externship and Judicial Externship programs, and the nationally recognized Moot Court/Mock trial program.
Inns of Court Program
With over 200 first-year students, the law school recognized a need for smaller, more personalized groups to provide students with a source of relationships and support. Through the Inns, students connect with fellow classmates, faculty, student leaders, career advisors, and alumni for a community experience that extends throughout their time at the law school and beyond graduation.
Mustang Exchange
The first and only mentorship program of its kind for law schools, SMU Dedman School of Law's Mustang Exchange is an innovative "flash" mentorship program that connects each law student with multiple alumni and friends for one-on-one mentoring meetings.
