The University of Arkansas School of Law showcases the federally funded National Agricultural Law Center. Created by Congress in 1987, the National Agricultural Law Center is the nation's leading source for agricultural and food law research and information. The center sponsors objective and authoritative agricultural and food law research and provides bibliographic and other resources on agricultural law. Its publications are available on the center's web site,  NationalAgLawCenter.org.

The National Agricultural Law Center has received national recognition for its publications and agricultural law and food law resources. Its web site provides regular reports on judicial and administrative developments and in-depth analysis of various agricultural and food law issues.

In 2001, Congress enhanced the National Agricultural Law Center's abilities to perform its mission by establishing a collaborative relationship between the National Agricultural Law Center and the Agricultural Law Center at the Drake University School of Law in Des Moines, Iowa.

Each academic year, the National Agricultural Law Center employs students enrolled in the School of Law LL.M. Program in Agricultural Law. These graduate assistants help prepare the center's research and information products. The graduate assistantships reflect the close relationship between the National Agricultural Law Center and the graduate program in agricultural law.

The students selected as graduate assistants gain valuable knowledge and skills while researching and writing for the center. The National Agricultural Law Center, in turn, benefits from the talents of these highly motivated lawyers who are intensively studying agricultural law.
