The institution was admitted to the Association of American Law Schools in 1914 and gained accreditation from the American Bar Association in 1923. The school emphasizes practical legal training alongside traditional coursework, with particular strengths in Native American law, environmental law, and trial advocacy. The law school has produced numerous notable alumni who have served as Montana governors, U.S. senators, federal judges, and state supreme court justices.
