Brooklyn Law School Reviews of Doctorates in Law

"I am an entering law student this year. I have already visited the school on multiple occasions and met most of the BLS staff. Brooklyn Law provides multiple opportunities for entering students to visit the campus prior to beginning their first semester which is extremely helpful for any first year student. The school holds events for entering students to learn about the opportunities offered. During these events students get to tour the campus, met alumni, and learn about curriculum options available. Staff are very helpful and answer student questions in a timely manner over email and in person. The school location is great since it is near numerous law firms and courthouses allowing students to network easily while attending. Although the school is a bit pricey, Brooklyn Law does offer financial assistance to their students through grants and scholarships. What attracted me most to the school is the trial advocacy programs, which many law schools lack, and the great reputation Brooklyn Law has withheld for continuous years. I am excited to begin attending classes and see what the professors will be like."

"Brooklyn Law School has an awesome location in downtown Brooklyn. Near Borough Hall and Jay St. Metrotech subways always students to get where they want to go with ease and opens up the whole city to your internship hunt. Feil Hall is a great place to live. Professors, as you might imagine, are very hit or miss. Do you relate to their thought processes, are you engaged with the same topics? If so, you will do well. If not, you may have a harder time in that class. At Brooklyn, the first year dictates much more of your experience than is normally claimed. For instance, first years who do well not only tend to get better internships but they are shoe-ins for clinics and journals which greatly expand your support system and make navigating the bureaucracy much easier. I know this because I did not get into my clinic until third year so I've experienced both sides of the coin."

"Pros: great education, talented student. Cons: the legal market is not doing well overall"

"The school costs the same as a higher rating school. The professors are great and knowledgable. Overall, great school."

"I love the school and the education it provides. People in the law community are aware of Brooklyn Law School, and I feel that will increase my success in the legal community."

"Brooklyn Law is located right in downtown Brooklyn close to transportation and internship opportunities. Being in New York is very pricey to live, but the school does have university owned housing."
