One of the nation’s oldest research universities and a proud member of the Big Ten, Rutgers resides at the forefront of innovation in legal education. In July 2015, the ABA approved the unification of Rutgers’ two law schools to become one Rutgers Law School with locations in Camden and Newark. Based in close proximity to two of the nation’s five largest legal markets (New York and Philadelphia), while also deeply rooted in a third top-10 market (New Jersey), and with a fiercely loyal alumni network of over 20,000, Rutgers Law School provides students with the practical training and support system to succeed as a lawyer and to succeed professionally.

Even as it has become one of the 10 largest law schools in the nation and the leading public law school in the Northeast, Rutgers Law remains resolutely student-centered and welcoming, offering the curricular breath and resources of a single large school while also providing in each location the intimacy and warmth of a small close-knit community. Our expanded set of courses and experiential offerings mean more opportunities to develop as a legal thinker and professional.

The Rutgers Law learning experience is exceptionally engaging because of our signature Minority Student Program that promotes diversity in every sense of the word. An unwavering commitment to public service cultivates in our students various ways to put legal learning into action while making a profound impact on those in need. The extraordinary technological resources at Rutgers Law, like our immersive digital classrooms that instantly connect Camden and Newark and allow us to offer more specialized and team-taught classes, complement the academic breadth and traditions associated with one of the nation’s oldest universities.
