U. of Memphis Law School to Move Downtown

Filed in archive News by Greg Cruey on December 14, 2007

The Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis is moving, according to BizJournal. The law school's new address will be in the old Customs House and Post Office building in the 1 N. Front in Memphis' historic district.

The move won't be completed until August of 2009 when classes open at the new location. But with $5.3 million in donations already on hand and another $9.8 million in pledges already made to fund the move, U. Memphis got the keys to their new building handed to them earlier this month.

The Memphis downtown area has become the hub of the city's legal community, according to a release published by the university. The new address, according to the release, will put the law school in "a magnificent building on the Mississippi River at the intersection of Madison and Front streets." The building was described as "neo-classical" and the release noted that the Federal Courthouse was formerly housed here.

The university's release also pointed out that the relocation "will add further momentum to the extraordinary downtown renaissance in the city."
