The Digital Initiative

At OU Law, today is the future of legal education. Across all disciplines, technology is accelerating education like never before, which is why in 2014, we became the first law school in the nation to launch a comprehensive college-wide Digital Initiative.

Our Digital Initiative is built around three core elements: the common platform of the iPad, given to our students at no cost; a digital training curriculum that pushes our students to use technology for productivity and practice; and redesigned facilities dedicated to connecting students to one another and to the people and societies they will serve, including the Inasmuch Collaborative Learning Center and the Chickasaw Active Learning Classroom.

Real legal work

At OU Law, students gain the skills and confidence to step into practice from day one. Our consistently strong bar pass and employment rates reflect a curriculum rooted in real-world training with coursework offering simulated courtroom and boardroom experiences.

Students represent real clients in our Civil and Criminal Defense Clinics, tackling the same challenges they’ll face as attorneys. They also contribute to legal scholarship through our three student-run journals: the Oklahoma Law Review, American Indian Law Review, and Oklahoma Natural Resources and Energy Journal.
