The 鈥渢op-notch鈥 professors at UM 鈥渃annot be beat.鈥 The 鈥済enuinely nice鈥 faculty is 鈥渁 perfect blend of former judges, legal scholars, and adjunct faculty who are at the top of their respective fields in the private sector and judiciary.鈥 While 鈥渢he professors are extremely accessible,鈥 since 鈥渋t is a bigger school鈥 鈥渙ne-to-one time with the professors is a little difficult to come by.鈥 Professors 鈥渢ruly want the students to learn and succeed鈥 and frequently 鈥渁re national leaders in their field and are greatly respected across the nation.鈥 鈥淚f you are interested in a few specific areas of law that Miami is known for this is the perfect place.鈥 For example, 鈥淢iami鈥檚 litigation skills program has all the major judges and attorneys in Florida,鈥 and 鈥淯M鈥檚 resources in Health Law and its reputation as a Health Law up and coming powerhouse should be emphasized!鈥 One student chimes in to say, 鈥淚 would add art law (with Prof. Urice); maritime law (with Prof. Oxman); and criminal law (with Profs Franks, Rose, Basquez, & Graham) as additional specialties.鈥
While the faculty get high praise, students feel the administration 鈥渘eed to be replaced forthwith if the school hopes not to completely destroy its reputation.鈥 Some students say the administration will 鈥渘ickel and dime you for every penny you have,鈥 but 鈥渟tudent organizations are poorly funded鈥 and 鈥渢he Career Development Office does very little to aid in the search for employment.鈥 Still, there are ten attorney advisors on staff at the CDO, and Miami Law also provides services like the Student Development Program and the Mindfulness in Law Program with students鈥 personal and professional development in mind. While some students think the dean is 鈥渦napproachable鈥 and seems to 鈥減refer to never be bothered,鈥 Dean White does hold monthly town hall style meetings to meet with first-year and upper division students and 鈥渉as used her network and reputation to make big in-roads to the New York and D.C. marketplaces for opportunities for students.鈥 鈥淭he law library is pretty retro-looking鈥 and 鈥渢he physical buildings that make up the law school are very old.鈥 Still, they are filled with 鈥渃utting edge鈥 technology and the campus overall 鈥渋s beautiful.鈥 One highlight that needs to be mentioned is 鈥渢he Litigation Skills Program.鈥 鈥淣o other university that I know in the area offers such a well-structured program,鈥 one happy student says.
