The Schoolof Law‑Newark is an institution with a talented and diverse faculty and student body. Rutgers living alumni, now numbering over 8,000, hold positions of prominence in legal and political circles. Our graduates serve in the U.S. Senate, on the New Jersey Supreme Court, in the Governor's Cabinet, and in many other prominent judicial and public and private sector positions. As leaders of the bench and the bar, Rutgers graduates have established a national reputation for public service and the highest ethical standards. As an institution, the Schoolof Law‑Newark is dedicated to improving the quality of justice for all persons in society.

At the law school there is the opportunity to develop the analytical and practical skills needed in law practice and in related fields. Students work on pending law cases in our eight law clinics. Faculty members, who are nationally recognized scholars and experts in their fields, work to help students achieve their full potential. Rutgers is a challenging and exciting place to learn the law.

Rutgers School of Law‑Newark aspires to be the premier public law school in the Northeast. We attract students who want to make a difference in society. Our progressive tradition reaches back over many decades. With added strengths in business and transactional law, Rutgers graduates are prepared to work on Wall Street or the Main Streets of cities and towns across the country. Our global legal studies program allows students to study abroad with some of the finest law faculties in the world.

The School of Law‑Newark, the oldest law school in the state, opened in 1908 as a proprietary institution, the New Jersey LawSchool. Over the next decades the school became an institution of national stature. Its library expanded to become the most comprehensive collection in northern New Jersey, and its faculty tripled in size. In the 1960s, the law school pioneered in developing clinical education and in providing the opportunity to study law to women and minority groups. After outgrowing several buildings in downtown Newark, in 2000 it moved to the new Center for Law and Justice on the University's Newark campus, and now occupies one of the most advanced academic facilities among American Law Schools.

Part of the Newark campus of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the Law School is within blocks of the Newark Public Library, the Newark Museum, and the New Jersey PerformingArts Center. The social, cultural, professional and educational opportunities of the area combine to provide a fitting location for the study of law.

Qualities that typify Rutgers School of Law‑Newark include its outstanding legal education, its nationally recognized faculty, very diverse student body, exceptional clinical program, and affordable tuition. The professional interests, goals, and outlooks of students are more varied here than at most law schools. Similarly, there is diversity in the background, professional experience, extracurricular work, and scholarship of the faculty. Rutgers School of Law‑Newark has the first New Jersey chapter of the Order of the Coif, the national honor society for law students.

The Faculty of Law

Members of Rutgers School of Law‑Newark faculty are committed to the law and to excellence in legal education. These shared commitments unite a group of independent individuals otherwise known for their diversity. They are graduates of law schools throughout the country and have brought to Rutgers a variety of backgrounds in private law practice, public interest law practice, and government service. These differences in legal training and experience enable the faculty to expose students to different teaching methods and different approaches to law. The faculty's research and writing are focused on new and developing issues of law, such as feminist and race studies, alternate methods of dispute resolution, law and urban studies, and new theories of the corporation. Their work takes them around the globe on matters such as constitutional rights in developing countries, international environmental law, and models of transnational organization in the post‑Cold War world. Outside the law school, many faculty members serve on professional committees and participate in community activities.
