Roger Williams University School of Law offers a rigorous legal education in a supportive environment, with student/faculty interaction uniquely available in a small institution.

The School of Law faculty reflects a mix of experience and interests. With 32 full-time members, there is a broad range of expertise in core areas, like criminal procedure, torts, and constitutional law, as well as more specialized areas like marine affairs and public and private international law. In addition, teaching practitioners and judges from both the state and federal bench augment the curriculum and bring valuable real-world experience to the classroom by serving as adjunct professors.

The current enrollment is 552. The school has a diverse student body drawn from across the nation: currently, 32 states are represented. For students who have demonstrated exceptional ability and achievement before coming to law school, Roger WilliamsUniversity School of Law offers an Honors Program - tailored to broaden and deepen the law school intellectual experience.

The School of Law actively promotes public service and the administration of justice in Rhode Island. As the only law school in the state, Roger Williams is an integral partner with the bench, bar, and community, in improving the quality of life in the state.

Created in 1996, the Marine Affairs Institute is a focal point for the research and study of legal policy issues surrounding the use of the oceans and coastal zones. With emphasis on Maritime law and practice; environmental and coastal law; and the international law of the sea, the Institute provides a forum for discussion and research through a lecture series, a biennial symposium, faculty exchanges, scholarly publications, and unique opportunities for students to serve as Sea Grant Legal Fellows. The Marine Law Summer Program offers students an opportunity to focus on Marine law courses in two three-week sessions.

Through the Legal Clinics, law students provide legal service to individuals and organizations in the community who lack representation. Each student is supervised by a nationally-known clinical professor. The clinics are housed in facilities at the University Metropolitan Center for Education and Law in Providence and on the Bristol campus.

The programs coordinated by The Feinstein Institute for Legal Service are a key aspect of a legal education. Each student must perform 50 hours of law-related public service prior to graduation. Students may fulfill this pro bono requirement in a variety of ways, although many students work in the Instituteâ??s Pro Bono Collaborative, a unique partnership designed to bring together Rhode Islandâ??s law firms, law students, and community-based organizations. PBC projects include affordable housing, special education, domestic violence and an ever-expanding array of other subject areas. The Feinstein Institute also offers Public Interest and Judicial Externships for academic credit, Public Interest Scholarships, summer stipends, a Public Interest Speakers series, and a new Loan Repayment Assistance Program.

The School of Law offers two joint degrees in conjunction with the University of Rhode Island: J.D./Master of Marine Affairs and J.D./Master of Science in Labor Relations and Human Resources. In addition, a third joint degree program is offered in conjunction with the Roger Williams University School of Justice Studies: J.D./Master of Criminal Justice.

The School of Law has two distinctive summer abroad programs. The first is offered in conjunction with the Inns of Court in London, England, and provides instruction on the English legal system and an internship in the chambers of either a London Barrister or Judge. The program in Lisbon is the only ABA-accredited summer program in Portugal and offers courses in various subjects, some of which enroll law students from a wide range of European law schools.

The School of Law is located on a beautiful waterfront campus in historic Bristol 25 minutes from Providence, RhodeIslandâ??s legal center, and just over one hour from Boston.

The four-level law building, designed exclusively for the study of law, contains the latest technology in legal education. In addition to the law library, the law building contains class and seminar rooms, trial advocacy and appellate moot court rooms, career services, registrar and bursar, student activities center, bookstore, mail and copy centers, and complete food service. Just steps away from The School of Law is the Universityâ??s stunning RecreationCenter.

The Law Library is an excellent research facility designed to meet the needs of students, faculty, bench, and bar. The collection contains over 300,000 volumes in print and microform and 3,500 serial subscriptions. In addition, the library subscribes to over 40 online databases in addition to LexisNexis and Westlaw. Electronic resources can be accessed from three separate computer labs or from personal computers. Wireless internet access is also available.

Roger Williams University School of Law is fully accredited by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools.
