The University of Nebraska College of Law is the law school of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, a public research university in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was founded in 1888 as Central Law College and became part of the University of Nebraska in 1891. Richard Moberly has served as dean since 2016.
The college administers a traditional Juris Doctor, a joint master's degree and J. D. program, and a concentrated J. D. or part-time L. L. M. degree in Space, Cyber, and National Security Law. It offers an optional "3–3" format, allowing undergraduates to obtain a bachelor's degree and J. D. in six years rather than the standard seven.
Notable alumni include John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I; John R. McCarl, the first U. S. Comptroller General; and U. S. Solicitor General J. Lee Rankin, as well as many who served as state governors, White House Counsel, or national and state judges. In 2024, 94.0 percent of graduates seeking employment were employed in a bar passage-required role within ten months of graduation.
