For Employers

After World War II, St. Lawrence University (originally the parent institution of Brooklyn Law School) wanted to shut down the law school due to financial difficulties. Alumni and staff rallied together and bought the school back, and BLS became independent in 1943. Today, the school is recognized for its strong legal writing program, as well as for its healthy alumni network in the New York area.

Students are required to take one of their first-year core classes as a seminar, as well as to complete an upper-level writing requirement. There are no formal concentrations, and many classes are slanted to practical skills and learning the intricacies of the New York bar exam. BLS sponsors a JD/MBA program with Baruch College, as well as a JD/MS in city planning with Pratt Institute.

Brooklyn Law School's recent completion of new residence halls allows it to guarantee on-campus housing to all first-year students--a boon in New York's real estate market. Students in our surveys love the location (Brooklyn Heights) and report that school activities remain big draws, despite the nearby distractions of Manhattan.
