In Better Call Saul, what is the name of the fictional law school Jimmy McGill attends?

In Better Call Saul, Jimmy McGill attends the fictional University of American Samoa law school.

Jimmy studies through a correspondence program while working in Albuquerque. The show presents the school as a real institution within its story, but it is fictional and was created for Better Call Saul. Jimmy later tells people he earned his law degree there before passing the New Mexico bar examination.

The school is an important part of Jimmy’s backstory because it reflects both his persistence and the skepticism he faces from established lawyers. Chuck McGill and other members of Albuquerque’s legal community do not regard Jimmy’s education as equivalent to a traditional local law-school path, even though Jimmy becomes a licensed attorney.

A common mix-up is confusing the fictional school with the University of New Mexico, a real university in Albuquerque. The University of American Samoa is also connected to Jimmy’s later advertising and legal identity, making it one of the show’s recurring fictional institutions.
