A Message from Our Dean Phillip Closius, J.D.
Welcome to the Wilmington University School of Law. I am honored to announce that, on February 20, the ABA’s Council on Legal Education granted our application for provisional accreditation. The most important attribute of this status is our graduates are now authorized to take any ABA certified bar exam in the country. We have worked tirelessly for 2 years to achieve this designation and couldn’t be happier for our entire law school community. Our law students continue to grow and flourish as they progress through their studies.
A student-centered perspective
Our law school faculty have extensive experience, commitment to excellence in teaching, and dedication to making a difference in the lives of their students. Course schedules and curricula are crafted to maximize the benefit for students who may be balancing professional and personal commitments in addition to their legal studies.
Supporting the legal profession
WilmU's law school enrolls students who reflect the communities they will serve.
Legal education for the real world
Students learn to think like lawyers and to problem-solve through disciplined inquiry and information literacy. Coursework provides an understanding of substantive and procedural law, legal analysis and reasoning, and legal research, with exercises to hone written and oral communication and exam-taking skills in the legal context. Theory and practice combine in externships that provide hands-on opportunities to help practicing attorneys solve real challenges.
Tuition that makes sense
The WilmU School of Law is proud to offer highly competitive tuition rates, in addition to scholarships, tuition assistance and comprehensive student services. The cost for full-time students is approximately $24,000 per year and $18,000 per year for part-time students—the lowest rates of any law school in the region.
