( (, WELCOME TO SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW

Southern Methodist University opened in the fall of t9l5 and graduated its first class in the spring of 1916. This is the University's Slst Annual Commencement Convocâtion. The School of Law ar Southern Methodist Universitywas established in February 1925. It is a member of the Association ofAmerican Law Schools and is approved by the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the American Bar Association. The first law school class graduated in 1928 with I1 members. This, the 70th graduating class, consists of 250 candidates for the luris Doctor degree, four candidates for the combined degree of luris Doctor and Master of Business Administration,23 candidates for the Master of Laws degree (Comparative and International Law), and nine candidates for the Master of Laws degree. There are four buildings in the Law School Quadrangle. Storey Hall houses the faculty librar¡ faculty and administrative offices, the Legal Clinic, School of Law publications, and registrar. Carr Collins Hall contains two state-of-the-art seminar classrooms; student lounge and student areas; the offices of Admissions and Student Affairs, Career Services, and Public Service Program; as well as other University offices. Florence Hall is the class- .çoom building with a model law office and courtroom facilities with modern audiovisual jquipment and closed-circuit television. Underwood Law Library contains a collection of approximately 490,000 volumes, ranking second among private law school libraries west of the Mississippi. The Law School is uniquely advantaged by its location in the Dallas metroplex; it draws its more than 800 students from most of the 50 states and from over 100 colleges and universities. The school maintains a close working relationship with the Dallas Bar Association, whose members teach seminars in specialized areas. Students have the op- portunity to select courses and seminars of small enrollment that foster intimate interac- tion with the faculty. SMU, long a leader in curriculum development, has revamped the traditional first-year curriculum to include an innovative skills course, "Lawyering," and has adopted a public service curricular requirement for all students entering after the fall of 1993. SMU Law School's Legal Clinics provide practical instruction in appellate, civil, criminal, and tax cases under the careful supervision of experienced practitioners. Students prepare legal documents, interview and counsel clients, and appear in court in a variety ofcases. The Graduate Program in International and Comparative Law is attended by distinguished lawyers and judges from many countries, specifically from Latin America, the Middle East, and Far East. The Graduate Program in Taxation is an intensive course of study in advanced tax issues.
