Rogers College of Law, also known as the University of Arizona College of Law, is the law school at the University of Arizona located in Tucson, Arizona, United States and was the first law school founded in the State of Arizona, opening its doors in 1915. It was renamed in 1999 in honor of broadcasting executive James E. Rogers, a 1962 graduate of the school, and chairman of Sunbelt Communications Company based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Programs and centers

The James. E. Rogers College of law is one of the only US law schools that offers a Bachelor's of Arts (BA) in Law degree, a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) degree, and a Master of Legal Studies (MLS) degree.[7] In addition to the J.D. program, the school offers L.L.M. and S.J.D. degrees in Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy, and International Trade and Business Law. The International Trade and Business Law program is offered in coordination with the National Law Center for Inter-American Free Trade. Students finishing their L.L.M. degree in either program may continue on to an S.J.D. degree after completing substantial original research in their field of study. Arizona Law also offers a two-year J.D. with Advanced Standing (J.D.A.S.), designed for students who have received their first law degree from a university outside the United States.[8] This two-year J.D. provides up to one year's worth of credits (or 29 units) for non-U.S. legal studies, effectively allowing admitted students to skip the second year of law school and go directly from completing the traditional first-year curriculum to the third year of law school.
