ounded in 1826, Mississippi College is the oldest college in Mississippi.  The Law School which began its life as the Jackson School of Law in 1930 was acquired by Mississippi College in 1975.  Since then, we've grown in size and stature, but we've maintained our purpose: to integrate a theoretical and practical legal education with Christian principles.

MCSOL has become a premier legal center for the South.  Teaching is our strength.  Our esteemed faculty members are leaders in their areas of scholarship, yet they value the one-on-one personal relationships with students.  It's the little things that make all the difference.  From extending office hours or serving as advisors to hosting get-togethers for students at their homes, our professors make every effort to get to know each student and to help them succeed personally and professionally.

Situated in the heart of downtown Jackson, we are surrounded by an abundance of experience opportunities.  Private firms, government agencies, non-profit organizations and large corporations are all within walking distance. Through a combination of externships, co-curricular activities, and work with the private bar, our students have an appreciation of the practice of law.
