The UALR William H. Bowen School of Law is committed to providing high-quality legal education at the lowest cost possible. We realize that many graduates of high-priced law schools have little choice when accepting employment, because they have a debt burden of tens of thousands of dollars. We encourage our graduates to consider all areas of legal practice, including public interest law—working as advocates for the poor, children, minorities and other traditionally unrepresented groups—and we give our graduates the financial means to keep public interest law a viable choice.
