The University of Miami School of Law has one of the strongest bases of tried-and-true alumni. Our alumni are in all 50 states, several territories and countries. With 63% of alumni in Florida—to support you for hands-on networking, internships, and externships—and 37% in all other 49 states and abroad—you join a truly hemispheric institution with networks worldwide. These leaders form your network, and it is a story of success you continue when you join Miami Law.
Our graduates are shaping their communities and transforming the world through law. From business leaders to the private and public and non-profit sectors, alumni are executives at multinational corporations and lawyers in firms of all sizes. It is no wonder we are #8 of all U.S. law schools for alumni recognized by Super Lawyers magazine, and based on the AMLaw100 Listings 2024, of the top 30 firms in the entire U.S., ranked by gross revenue, Miami Law has the most graduates leading these firms, second only to Harvard Law School.

Our alumni have expressed their lifelong loyalty to the School of Law community, and they demonstrate it every day by directly investing their time, talents, expertise and resources to their alma mater. The importance of this network cannot be overemphasized. Miami Law’s alumni community is a tremendous human resource for current students. They generously donate countless hours to help students perfect their job search skills and learn about practicing law. Alumni in private firms, the judiciary, government service and nontraditional legal careers regularly visit campus to talk with students about their specific fields of practice, answer students’ questions and conduct mock interviews. They also host networking meetings with students in their cities and provide students employment opportunities. And, of course, they like to hire our students. The Miami Law network gives back in myriad ways, and our mentoring programs provide an array of opportunities for students.
The UNetworking initiative provides students the opportunity to meet and speak one-on-one with attorneys and judges from the local Miami community. Several UNetworking events are scheduled throughout the year and many Miami Law students have landed internships and jobs from their attendance.
At Evening with Esquires, students will have the opportunity to enjoy dinner with local attorneys representing different fields of law in South Florida. "I was able to get the job through the Career Development Office and actually met one of the hiring attorneys that works there through the Evening with Esquires in February."

Our Young Alumni Committee hosts a monthly Table of Eight dinner which offers Miami Law young alumni an invitation to dine with a distinguished Miami Law alumnus.
