The University of Cincinnati College of Law was founded in 1833 as the Cincinnati Law School. It is the fourth oldest continually running law school in the United States and a founding member of the Association of American Law Schools. Then-dean and future 27th President of the United States, William Howard Taft (1880), merged it with the University of Cincinnati in 1896.

The school has produced both a President of the United States (William Howard Taft) and a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (both Taft and Willis Van Devanter). The school has also produced a Vice President of the United States, Charles G. Dawes, and a Secretary of Commerce, Charles W. Sawyer.

According to University of Cincinnati's 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 53% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation. Actually 69.1% (103/149)of Cincinnati’s Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term employment nine months after graduation that was either Bar Passage Required or J.D. Advantage. "JD-required" is not recognized as a category in the ABA-required disclosures. To achieve a "JD-required" calculation one has to combine two of the four ABA reporting categories - Bar Passage Required and J.D. Advantage.
