Texas A&M Law continues its advance at an unprecedented pace to become a national contender, and a leader in Texas.

In just the past six years, Texas A&M Law has climbed up 53 places nationally — and from fifth in Texas to second. Meanwhile, enrollment has more than doubled since 2019 with a greater number of high-achieving students.

Texas A&M Law student teams recently brought home big wins in advocacy competitions.

The new Environmental & Natural Resources Systems Clinic at Texas A&M Law places it among the relatively few law schools across the country with such a program. The clinic will build on the work of the school’s Energy, Environmental, And Natural Resource Systems Law Program (currently ranked 34 nationally). 

There are two primary and interrelated objectives for the clinic: addressing critical environmental and natural resource issues, while helping to equip Aggie law students with hands-on, practical experience to lead change in these areas.

Several teams of Texas A&M Law students performed well recent advocacy competitions.

• FINRA Securities Dispute Resolution Triathlon: 2Ls Baldemar Garcia, Bill Larimer and Madison Young won. The team also won the Negotiation round. The team was coached by Kay Elliott and the team alternate was Christyn Cavazos.
  
• MLK Civil Rights Mock Trial Competition: 2L Adam Veary won the Best Overall Closing Argument award. His teammates were 3L Kailey Muir and 2Ls Sydney McCaulley and Alexis Symcheck. The team was coached by Matthew Jackson (’13).
  
• National Mediation Competition: 2L Abrielle Perry placed 2^nd and 3L Crystal Hernandez placed 4^th. The team alternate was Jacob Schuler. They were coached by Kay Elliott.
