The University of Idaho College of Law is among the best small state public law schools in the U.S. Recognized by "preLaw Magazine" as a Best Value law school, we emphasize quality over quantity. With an average enrollment of about 300 students, we guarantee the personal attention each student deserves.

Starting in fall 2017, students will have the option to complete all three years in either Moscow or Boise. We feel the option increases the efforts to broaden and deepen the Juris Doctor curriculum with emphasis areas correlated to the interdisciplinary assets of Moscow’s  campus and Boise’s commercial and governmental opportunities. Each of these communities presents a distinct array of venues for learning, professional development and recreation.
