Mission Statement
As a small, Christian law school in the Capital City of Alabama, Faulkner Law students have a unique advantage through the rigorous curriculum and hands-on experience that we provide. We seek students who will not only succeed academically, but who also have a desire to use their legal degree to seek justice and serve their communities – wherever that may be.
You can begin your pathway to law by taking a tour of the law school and sitting in on a law class. To register, please contact Tina Foster, Faulkner Law Admissions Specialist, at 334-386-7531, tfoster@faulkner.edu, or law@faulkner.edu.
