Academics
With a national
reputation for excellence,
the School
of Law-Camden is
noted for its diverse student
body and distinguished faculty.
Drawing from almost every
state across the nation and from
several foreign countries, about
750 students at the law school
interact daily with people from
all walks of life. Each year,
approximately 200 students
who have achieved academic
excellence join the entering class.
These students typically come
from more than 140 undergraduate
institutions, including
Boston College, Colby,
Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth,
Emory, Florida State, Georgetown,
Michigan, Notre Dame,
Penn State, UCLA, USC, Texas,
Tufts, Yale, and of course,
Rutgers.
Students at the law school
also enjoy a dynamic educational
experience. The law
school faculty is known for its
scholarship and commitment to
teaching. Recognized nationally
and internationally in fields as
diverse as state constitutional
law, health law, professional
responsibility, and legal history,
the faculty incorporates interdisciplinary
and innovative
approaches into much of the
curriculum to balance traditional
legal learning with practical
application. In addition to its
mission of research and writing,
the faculty is dedicated to community
service and to the bar.
Students are encouraged to work with faculty in clinical
programs and pro bono public
interest cases. Students also
have the opportunity to interact
with practicing lawyers, judges,
and governmental agencies
through internships, clerkships,
and clinical programs.
