UK College of Law Launches New Website

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 26, 2015) — The University of Kentucky College of Law has launched a new website that improves access to important information for students, prospective students, alumni and others.

"We are excited about the launch of our new website and the role it plays in the College of Law producing the next great generation of leaders and legal practitioners," said David A. Brennen, dean of the UK College of Law. "The website highlights the many ways in which UK Law services the Commonwealth and the impact of the work of its faculty and graduates on society." 

Located at http://law.uky.edu/, the website displays the new feature, "UK Law by the Numbers," highlighting the college's successes. The UK College of Law was ranked the third Best Value Law School by National Jurist Magazine in 2014 and as high as 12th in the country in full-time, long-term, bar passage required JD non-school funded jobs for the class of 2014. It also achieved a 90.2 percent bar passage rate for Kentucky first-time bar examination test takers in 2013 and offers four dual degree programs. Another website section displays a faculty spotlight, which highlights a different law faculty member each time the website is viewed.

"It also aids in advancing the functional roles of attracting prospective students, engaging our alumni, and informing all about the accomplishments of our students, faculty and alumni," Brennen said.  The website includes college news and upcoming events, as well as information on admissions, diversity and inclusion and a career portal for current students, alumni, employers and prospective students.

"We hope that everyone finds the new website visually appealing and user-friendly," Brennen said. "As we continue to educate the public on the strength and value of the legal education we provide, the website is central to this mission."
