Where great students learn how to be great lawyers

It's no secret that law firms want to hire BU Law graduates:

BU Law ranks #22 among U.S. law schools based on the proportion of the Class of 2012 that landed associate positions at the nation's 250 largest law firms, according to the National Law Journal.

More partners at the nation's largest firms graduated from BU Law than from any New England law school except Harvard, according to a major study published in 2011 in the Journal of Legal Education.

BU Law excels at educating students for some of the nation's fastest growing legal fields, ranking #5 in health law, #6 in tax law, and #8 in intellectual property law, according to the 2013 U.S. News & World Report law school rankings.

BU Law students learn from one of the nation's top faculty, which Princeton Review ranks #3 for "Best Professors".

The 2011 Massachusetts bar exam was passed by 97% of BU Law graduates taking the test for the first time.
