UTD Law School Proposal Defeated by Board
The State College Coordinating Board rejected the University of Texas at Dallas plan for a state-supported School of Law after an advisory committee reported that nearly all of about 300 Texas lawyers favored no new law school. UT regents and UTD president Bryce Jordan dispute the ruling, arguing enrollment needs and job opportunities for lawyers warrant action.

Demand for Texas public law school grows amid regional seats gap
The advisory committee reports most applicants meeting admission standards are enrolled if they apply to up to three Texas law schools, while President Jordan questions whether legal education expands to meet demand. He cites Houston growth and a need for corporate lawyers. Dallas-Fort Worth has far fewer public law school seats despite paying over 20 percent of state taxes. The committee notes eight Texas law schools produced 5.9 percent of U.S. graduates, aligning with state population and lawyer shares.
