History
The University of Texas School of Law was founded in 1883. In 1914, the school created its first course on oil and gas law, and in 1941 a legal aid clinic was started.
Prior to the US Civil Rights Movement, the school was limited to white students, but the school's admissions policies were challenged from two different directions in high-profile 20th century federal court cases that were important to the long struggle over segregation, integration, and diversity in American education.
