Alabama Law is proud to welcome the Class of 2028 into the Law School community. Drawn from a competitive pool of approximately 1,750 applicants, this incoming class consists of 140 students who represent 21 states and have studied at 49 different colleges and universities. In total, members of the 1L class speak 10 different languages and dialects from around the world and have studied, lived, or worked in 25 countries outside of the United States.
While classes do not officially begin until August 14, the 1L students began their semester on August 11 with an orientation that includes presentations from faculty, the Student Bar Association, and other members of the Alabama Law community; time to socialize and get to know each other; a trip to Montgomery to visit the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum and the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama at the Frank M. Johnson Jr. U.S. Courthouse Complex; and a one-credit-hour introductory class that prepares students to hit the ground running at the start of the semester.
