The St. John's Law Advantage
St. John’s Law opened in 1925 to help a diverse and talented student body learn the fundamentals of the law, build practical skills, and uplift their communities. That founding mission still animates the Law School community as our students excel in the classroom, on journals, and in clinics, externships, and advocacy competitions. Our graduates surpass national and New York bar passage and employment averages and proudly join a network of 17,000+ alumni worldwide, including distinguished public servants, preeminent law firm and business leaders, and pioneering entrepreneurs. Recognizing that achievement in the field, Law.com has named St. John’s Law a “Go-To Law School” for placing the most graduates in the 100 biggest law firms.
