The St. John's Law Advantage

St. John’s Law opened in 1925 to help a diverse and talented student body learn fundamentals of the law, build practical skills, and uplift their communities. That founding mission remains strong today as students excel in the classroom, on journals, and in clinics, externships, and competitions. Graduates surpass nationwide and New York bar passage and employment averages annually, and proudly join a worldwide network of 16,000+ alumni, including distinguished public servants, preeminent law firm and business leaders, and pioneering entrepreneurs. St. John’s Law regularly earns a U.S. News & World Report top 100 ranking and was named a “2022 Go-To Law School” by law.com for placing the most graduates in the 100 biggest law firms.
