The University of Oklahoma College of Law is the law unit at the University of Oklahoma in Norman. Currently, the College has an enrollment of 521 law students. The law school began in 1909 by a resolution from the Board of Regents. It opened at the beginning of the next school year in September 1909. The first dean was Professor Julien C. Monnet of The George Washington University Law School. When it began, it shared space in the Science Building before moving to the basement of the Carnegie Building. The early law professors made the law school at Oklahoma the law school of Oklahoma and perhaps of the Southwest. Many graduates of OU Law were accepted for further studies by schools such as Harvard and Yale. In its 2008 publication, U.S. News & World Report ranked the law school 70th among the nation's "Top 100 law schools."
