The only public law school in Massachusetts, it is the successor to Southern New England School of Law, a private law school that donated its campus and its assets to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. As of December 6, 2016, UMass Law is fully accredited by the American Bar Association.[1] According to University of Massachusetts School of Law's 2017 ABA-required disclosures, 55.1% of the Class of 2017 obtained full-time, long-term, bar-required employment nine months after graduation.[2] U.S. News & World Report ranks its part-time program No. 61 in the United States.[3] UMass Law received the 2017 Public Service Award from the Massachusetts Bar Association, recognizing the law school for "its commitment to providing an excellent, affordable and accessible legal education."[4] The 2017 first-time bar passage rate for all jurisdictions was 72.7%.[5] The July 2018 Massachusetts Bar Exam passage rate was 92.6%, the third highest passage rate of the Massachusetts law schools. [5][6] HistoryFoundingA plan to convert private law school Southern New England School of Law (SNESL) into a public law school for the University of Massachusetts system was first proposed in early 2004. The plan would establish the first public law school in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and only the fifth public law school in New England. The Trustees of the University of Massachusetts system voted in favor of the proposal in December 2004, but the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education rejected it in early 2005 as fiscally unsound. The proposal was brought again in October 2009, when Southern New England School of Law offered to donate real estate, facility, technology and library assets to UMass Dartmouth for the purpose of creating a public law program in Massachusetts. These assets had an estimated value of more than $22 million and would be the second largest donation in the 146-year history of the University of Massachusetts system.[7] The University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees approved the plan on December 9, 2009[8] and the Commonwealth's Board of Higher Education did likewise on February 2, 2010. The first class matriculated in August 2010.[9] Later developmentsIn June 2012, the School of Law received provisional accreditation from the American Bar Association after an eight-year quest by SNESL and UMass Law, before receiving full accreditation in December 2016.[10][1] At a time of declining nationwide enrollment in legal education, UMass Law stabilized its enrollment at about 75 incoming students per year, with applications and the quality of applicants as measured by LSAT scores increased.[11] For the Fall 2018 academic year, first-year enrollment was 94 students, a 17.5% increase from the 2017 first-year enrollment of 80 students and a 42% increase from 2016. [12] Justice BridgeIn August, 2014, UMass Law launched Justice Bridge, a legal incubator in downtown Boston, providing reduced-fee legal services to clients of modest means. UMass Law also opened a second Justice Bridge location in New Bedford.[13] AcademicsDegree ProgramsUMass Law offers full-time day, part-time day, and part-time evening/weekend Juris Doctor degree programs. Additionally, they offer JD/MBA and JD/MPP joint degrees with UMass Dartmouth and a JD/MSW joint degree with Bridgewater State University.[14] 3+3 ProgramsUMass Law announced 3+3 programs, under which students can earn an undergraduate and law degree in six rather the normal seven years, with UMass Dartmouth, UMass Boston, UMass Lowell, Fitchburg State University, Worcester State University, the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Becker College, Westfield State University, and Framingham State University.[15][16][17][18][19] Legal ClinicsUMass Law has three in-house legal clinics— Community Development (business), Human Rights at Home, and Immigration Litigation—as well as the Criminal Prosecution Clinic, housed in the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, and the Tribal Law Clinic, housed in the South Coastal Counties Legal Service, Inc.[20] Commonwealth Fellows ProgramIn December 2014, UMass Law launched the Commonwealth Fellows Program. Under the program, students who are Massachusetts residents or have attended a Massachusetts public college or university as an undergraduate, and who score at least 152 on the LSAT and have an undergraduate grade of point average of at least 3.0, receive an automatic scholarship of $5,000 per year.[21] Public Interest Law FellowshipsUp to 25 entering UMass Law students each year are awarded Public Interest Law Fellowships. The Fellowship, which includes a 50% scholarship for both tuition and fees, is designed to train students for careers in public service. Fellowship recipients commit to practice public interest law for at least four years after graduation.[22] Recognitions
Post-Graduation Employment StatisticsAccording to UMass Law's official 2017 ABA-required disclosures, 67.3% of the Class of 2017 obtained full-time, long-term, bar-required employment nine months after graduation.[2] UMass Law's Law School Transparency under-employment score is 28.3%, indicating the percentage of the Class of 2016 unemployed, pursuing an additional degree, or working in a non-professional, short-term, or part-time job nine months after graduation.[26] {{bar box|float= |title= ABA Employment Summary for 2017 Graduates[27] |titlebar=#AAF |width=450px |left1=Employment Status |right1=Percentage |caption=Total of 49 Graduates |bars={{bar percent|Employed - Bar Passage Required|green|67.35}}{{bar percent|Employed - J.D.

UMass Law's 2015 Ultimate Bar Pass Rate (within 2 years of graduating) for all jurisdictions was 88.7%.[5]

During the commencement ceremony, Governor Patrick received the Chancellor's Medal for outstanding service to the commonwealth.[39] On May 18, 2015, attorney and national legal analyst Rikki Klieman gave the Commencement address, telling the Class of 2015 "making a living is not the same as making a life." She received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree.[40] On May 16, 2016, Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Ralph D. Gants addressed the Class of 2016, telling the graduates they were "blazing the path for the entire profession of law."[41] Chief Justice Gants received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. On May 15, 2017, Morris Dees, co-founder and chief legal counsel for the Southern Poverty Law Center, gave the Commencement address to the Class of 2017.[42] Dees received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree.[43] On May 14, 2018, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey addressed the Class of 2018 and received the Chancellor's Medal for her tireless work in Massachusetts.[44] See also
