Founded in 1859, Northwestern University School of Law advances the understanding of law and produces graduates prepared to excel in a rapidly changing world.

Northwestern Law uniquely blends a

rigorous intellectual environment with

a collegial and supportive community.

Our students have access to the most

interdisciplinary research faculty in the

nation. We also have one of the lowest

student-faculty ratios, so our students

enjoy an unusual amount of individual

access to these scholars, even after

graduation.

The Law School’s lakefront location in

the heart of downtown Chicago provides

a wealth of part-time employment

options for students while in school, and

a spectacular setting in which to study

law. Northwestern Law’s proximity to

courts, commerce, and public interest

activities enables students to experience

the practice of law, as well as its theory, in

one of the most vibrant legal and business

communities in the world.
