The University of Wisconsin Law School numbers among the national leaders in clinical opportunities for its students, both in quality and in the number of opportunities available.

An article in the Summer 2004 issue of Prelaw magazine, which includes statistics on 185 U.S. law schools, shows the UW Law School to be in the top echelon nationwide both in absolute numbers and in relation to class size.

The UW Law School is among the top eight of the 185 schools based on the number of clinical spots available for its students (259 clinic spots).  In relation to class size, with 259 spots for a class of 288 students, the University of Wisconsin's ability to provide clinical opportunities for 90 percent of the class puts it among the highest of all law schools in the nation.

The UW clinical training program is also ranked among the best in the country in national rankings of law schools.  Most recently, the program was ranked among the top 15 law schools in the nation by clinical faculty members across the country.
