History

The School of Law was founded in 1904 as a joint project with the Omaha Bar Association, with Timothy J. Mahoney as the first dean. It was housed in the Edward Creighton Institute on S. 18th Street until 1921, when it moved to new quarters on the Creighton campus.[5]

Admissions

The middle 50% range of LSAT scores of the full-time Fall 2018 entering class was 150–156.[6] In this class, the male to female ratio is 51 percent to 49 percent, respectively.[7] 19 percent of this class is a minority.[8]

Scholarships

Creighton Law offers multiple types of scholarships to incoming first-year law students, as well as scholarships to returning second- and third-year law students. Examples include the Dean's Academic Scholarship, and the Frances M. Ryan Diversity Scholarship. 73% of the 2018 entering class received a scholarship.[9]

Programs

The majority of Creighton School of Law students are enrolled in a full-time Juris Doctor program, which takes three years to complete. A growing number of students are enrolled in the Accelerated JD program, which takes two years to complete. A small portion of the student body is enrolled in a part-time JD program, which takes approximately four years to complete.

Concentrations and joint degrees

Creighton School of Law offers six certificates and four joint degrees. The certificates are Health Law, Family Law, Business, Commercial and Tax Law; Criminal Law and Procedure, International and Comparative Law, and Litigation. The joint degree programs include the law 3/3 program with its BSBA/JD degree (the completion of an undergraduate degree and a JD in six years instead of seven), the MBA/JD degree, the JD/MS in Government Organization and Leadership (GOAL), and the JD/MS in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution.

Clinics

Creighton operates the Milton R. Abrahams Clinic, which offers free legal assistance on civil matters to low-income residents of Douglas County. Starting in the Fall of 2017, the Creighton Immigrant and Refugee Clinic, housed within the Milton R. Abrahams Clinic, offers support to immigrant and refugees and is run in cooperation with the Immigrant Legal Center (formerly known as Justice for Our Neighbors).

Activities

Creighton's Law Review is published four times annually. Students are selected based on class standing or writing ability to work on the Law Review during their second and third years. The Creighton International and Comparative Law Journal (CICLJ) is an online publication, founded in 2010, that serves as a forum for debate and exploration of international law issues. It also provides students with the opportunity to refine their research, writing, and critical-thinking skills to create articles.

The Moot Court team at Creighton has received recognition for winning a number of regional and national competitions.[10] The Black Law Students Association (BLSA), was selected as Creighton University's “Most Outstanding Graduate/Professional School Student Organization” for the 2017–18 academic year.

Employment

According to Creighton's official 2019 ABA-required disclosures, 75% of the Class of 2019 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-advantaged or JD-required employment nine months after graduation.[11] This employment rate was a reduction from 2017, when nearly 88% of the Class of 2017 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-advantaged or JD-required employment nine months after graduation.[12] Creighton's Law School Transparency under-employment score is 5%, indicating the percentage of the Class of 2017 unemployed, pursuing an additional degree, or working in a non-professional, short-term, or part-time job nine months after graduation.[13]

Costs

The total cost of attendance (including tuition, fees, and living expenses) at Creighton for the 2015–2016 academic year was $62,499.[14] This is relatively cheap, compared to other top private Jesuit universities.[15]

Notable events

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has co-taught a short course on constitutional law with professor G. Michael Fenner. The last one was in February 2019.[16]

Once a year, the Nebraska Supreme Court holds session at Creighton University School of Law. The most recent session was in March 2019. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit heard oral arguments at the law school in November 2017.

The Law school spent $4.6 million in renovations between 2015–2017.

A poverty law program was launched in 2017.

On June 20, 2011, the Omaha World-Herald reported that Creighton Law School was temporarily reducing its class size.[17]
