About IT Services
UNM Law School's Information Technology Department strives to provide students, faculty, and staff with access to the most current information technology available. Our commitment to accessibility is intended to aid the legal education of our students, as well as the research and improvement of our state's justice system. Accessibility is our focus, and law school offices, classrooms, and computer workstations are equipped with devices capable of connecting to UNM's high speed network. The IT Department is located in the Hart Wing, room 3403.
