The '''College of Law''' is a college of the [[University of Kentucky]] located within Central Campus along South Limestone. Founded initially from a law program at [[Transylvania University]] in [[1799]], the law program at the UK began operations in 1908; it was one of the nation's first public law schools. In [[1913]], the college became the first in the nation to institute a trial practice program, and is host to the tenth-oldest law review student publication in the [[United States]]. According to the most recent publication of [[US News and World Report]], the Law School is ranked #60 among all public and private universities. Among public law schools, the program is tied at #31.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.uky.edu/news/display_article.php?artid=2139 | title=U.S. News Rankings Show Jump for UK Law, Nursing | publisher=University of Kentucky College of Law | accessmonthday=[[April 1]] | accessyear=[[2007]]}}</ref> The current dean of the College of Law is [http://www.uky.edu/Law/about/deans_welcome.html Allan Vestal]. == Law library == The '''Alvin E.

It also provides access to all "U.S. reported court decisions, statutes and administrative materials" along with international materials. == Law Building == [[Image:UK Law Building Rendering.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Rendering of the new Law Building along Scott Street.]] Constructed in 1965, the University of Kentucky College of Law building houses the Alvin E. Evans Library, classrooms, and faculty offices. However, because the building is widely perceived as too small for the school's needs, the College of Law will be relocating to a new structure along Scott Street.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uky.edu/Law/alumni/new_building_news.html | title=New Building News | publisher=University of Kentucky College of Law | accessmonthday=[[November 21]] | accessyear=[[2006]]}}</ref> A 2002 study suggested that if a new College of Law structure was to be constructed, it should relocate closer to [[Cityscape of Lexington, Kentucky|downtown Lexington]] <ref>Martin, Kristi.

The suggestion from the study by Ayers Saint Gross consulting firm proposed that a new building for the college be constructed on Scott Street near the the College of Education. A parking lot currently occupies the 3.3 acre site, where the College of Law hopes to construct a 120,000 sq. ft. structure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uky.edu/Law/alumni/new_building_news.html | title=New Building News | publisher=University of Kentucky College of Law | accessmonthday=[[April 9]] | accessyear=[[2007]]}}</ref> Such a move would also involve relocating the University of Kentucky Legal Clinic into the new structure. The Legal Clinic is currently adjacent to the [[Lexington Theological Seminary]]. It was later decided that the new building should be constructed on Scott Street across from the [[Taylor Education Building (University of Kentucky)|Taylor Education Building]] and [[Dickey Hall (University of Kentucky)|Dickey Hall]] <ref>Sichko, Adam.

The structure, expected to cost $75 million, will be financed through $15 million in fundraising, with the remainder coming from the state. The location, currently a 3.3 acre parking lot, will double the size of the existing structure and add much needed student common areas. It will ultimately contain five structures and two courtyards. == History == As noted, the UK College of Law began operations in 1908.
