Office of Diversity and Inclusion

We believe that diversity, in all of its forms, benefits the classroom, the college, and the legal profession. Mitchell Hamline is a welcoming and respectful community where individuals can explore differences in a safe and positive environment, and where students not only learn from their professors but also from the diverse life experiences of their classmates.

• Our Vision
• Student Organizations

Students and attorneys from around the world come to Mitchell Hamline to study the American legal system. Mitchell Hamline offers an LL.M. degree, as well as opportunities for scholars from across the world to conduct independent research at our law school.

In the Summer of 2017, Mitchell Hamline School of Law had the honor of hosting the CLEO Pre-Law Summer Institute.  Thirty-eight students from twenty-three states attended the month-long program, giving them a head start on their law school careers. The students completed condensed courses in Legal Writing, Diversity and the Law, Stress and Time Management, Torts, Contracts, and Civil Procedure.  They also conducted a mock trail and enjoyed some fun social activities.

We are elated to report that all 38 students successfully completed the program and were admitted to law schools across the country.  Better yet, 11 joined us as 1L’s here at MHSL.

The 2018 CLEO program will be hosted by Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
