What are BU Law’s academic strengths?
Boston University School of Law is consistently recognized as one of America’s premier law schools. For five consecutive years, Boston University School of Law’s faculty has been ranked the number one teaching faculty in America, according to Princeton Review’s guide, The Best Law Schools (2007). Recently, the Princeton Review noted BU Law as among America’s top law schools in the “Best Career Prospects” (#10) category. The School’s academic strengths cover all substantive areas of law. Our Intellectual Property Program has recently been recognized as among the top in America (ranked #10 by U.S. News & World Report). The School’s strengths in corporate, business, financial, banking and tax law are renowned. The faculty is known not only for its scholarship, but also for its accessibility to students and commitment to teaching. LL.M. students, because they are integrated into the J.D. classes, experience this academic excellence first-hand.
