Students say faculty and staff are 鈥渢op notch.鈥 Professors 鈥渃ome from all over the country鈥 and 鈥渉ave diverse experiences and teaching styles.鈥 However, students note that the university 鈥渃ould work on finding more ethnically diverse professors.鈥 That said, the 鈥減rofessors are all extremely qualified and have practical experience in the courses they teach.鈥 They are 鈥渄edicated educators first and foremost.鈥 There is an emphasis on 鈥渃lassroom dialogue, debate, and interaction鈥 that 鈥渓eads to a better learning experience.鈥 Students find their professors to be 鈥渁ccessible at most hours and are prompt in getting back to you.鈥 As one student notes: 鈥淧rofessors regularly volunteered to listen to oral arguments for moot court teams and offer their critiques, generally had an open-door policy for questions after class, and were happy to just stop and chat in the halls.鈥 The 鈥渟taff, faculty, and students all provide a collegial atmosphere which facilitates outstanding legal scholarship,鈥 and the school encourages its students to give back, emphasizing 鈥渢he importance of pro bono鈥 work.

The university also 鈥渄oes a great job with the type of student it admits.鈥 鈥淭here has never been a time that I have felt like I could not ask a classmate for help or an outline,鈥 says a current student. The culture at the university is 鈥渟upportive, friendly, helpful, and not competitive and cruel.鈥 As one student notes, 鈥渢he school did a wonderful job of preparing me for practice, and they were invaluable in the job search process.鈥 In today鈥檚 tight job market, an engaged and active career center and alumni network is essential. As one student notes, many of her 鈥渃olleagues opened their own practices during the tough job market,鈥 and getting the first-hand, practical experience UT offers 鈥渁llows one to do that.鈥
