St. Thomas University School of Law is located on the main campus of St. Thomas University in Miami, Florida. The South Florida area is a thriving hub of domestic and international trade, an important legal and cultural center and, of course, one of the world’s most popular vacation spots.

In the center of all this lies the School of Law. Several miles south in downtown Miami stands the federal courthouse, the location of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. State trial and appellate courts are several blocks away. Approximately 20 miles to the north of the law school is the city of Ft. Lauderdale, another venue for state trial and appellate courts.

Orlando, home of Disney World, is a morning’s drive to the north. Equidistant to the south, across a breathtaking expanse of interstate that hovers just over the ocean, lies an unspoiled series of sandy islands - the Florida Keys. Only 20 minutes or so to the west of the campus, one can experience the Everglades, a unique wildlife habitat and national treasure. Several miles to the east lies radiant Miami Beach and neighboring coastal towns, offering many miles of beautiful beaches.South Florida residents enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, golf, tennis, and every other type of outdoor recreation on a year-round basis. Miami’s professional sports teams include the Miami Dolphins football team, the Miami Heat basketball franchise, the Florida Marlins baseball team and the Florida Panthers hockey team.

The School of Law, located two minutes from a major highway exchange, is easily accessible from surrounding residential communities via a network of modern highways. A limited supply of on-campus housing is also available. Among other services and activities, the cafeteria, swimming pool, six tennis courts and fitness equipment on the 140-acre university campus are open to law students.
