It offers Juris Doctor and Master of Laws degrees with spacious classrooms, an extensive legal library containing specialized collections on maritime and international law, and collaborative study areas.
Founded in 1947 with just 28 students and one professor, the school has grown significantly over the decades. It has relocated to new facilities while maintaining its commitment to community and education.

The law school is situated in southeast Houston near the city center and close to numerous law firms, courts, and government offices, making internships and job opportunities readily accessible. The campus is most active during daytime hours, and the library offers a quiet environment for focused study.
The school publishes a specialized Law Review alongside six other student journals, one of which ranks well nationally among legal publications. Students work in clinics on real cases involving immigration and civil rights, gaining hands-on experience serving actual clients.
