The University of Mississippi School of Law, established in 1854, is the fourth-oldest state law school in the country. Throughout its history, the School of Law has served as a training ground for leaders of the state, the bar and the nation. During the 20th century alone, the law school produced from its graduates 10 of the state?s 25 governors, nearly a third of the state?s lieutenant governors, half the justices on the Mississippi Supreme Court and nearly two-thirds of the presidents of the Mississippi Bar.
