Courts, law firms and employers recognize the significance of a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Hofstra Law, or a degree from
our joint J.D./M.B.A. and J.D./M.P.H. programs, because they know our graduates are renowned for their legal

NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW, Boston, MA
Law
http://www.northeastern.edu/law
"Experiential" and "collaborative" are today's hot buttons in legal education. But for one school, those buttons have
been hot for more than 40 years. At Northeastern University School of Law, we developed our practical learning
education model in 1968. Central to it is our Cooperative Legal Education Program, which allows students to graduate
with four, quarter-long, full-time jobs on their résumés. Combining classroom theory and rigorous academics with work
experience, Northeastern law students receive their JD degrees in the same three year period as students at other
schools, but graduate with at least 1,500 hours of full-time work experience. We walk the walk in terms of collaboration,
too. Instead of grades, students receive written evaluations from their professors and co-op employers. Without an
onerous class rank, students are free to work together and take intellectual risks. The school cultivates a culture of
cooperation, collaboration, and mutual respect. Our talented students, graduates, and faculty understand what it is
lawyers do, how they should do it, and the difference they can make in the lives of others. Consistently recognized as
one of the best public interest programs in the nation, the school's commitment to social justice extends through the
curriculum, co-op program, clinics and institutes, and student groups. Northeastern law students are people who believe
that if you don't agree with the system and change it. They're risk takers who enjoy using the law—and their careers—in
both traditional and nontraditional ways. They're team players who thrive on learning together as opposed to learning
at the expense of others. They're realists who believe practical experience is critical to the legal education process. And
best of all, they're passionate idealists who truly believe they can change the world.

lawyer is one who realizes the practice of law is not an end in itself. It’s the beginning of a new, highly specialized way of
giving back.
