Students Say
When it comes to the Saint Louis community, students say that “our professors are active in legal issues throughout the St. Louis area and their ideas are invaluable in community discourse. It is a great feeling to attend and work with faculty and students so involved and respected in the area.” Not only that, “[we] can walk across the street and watch a trial in their free time” at the civil courthouse, and “the criminal and federal courthouses are less than a quarter mile away.” When it comes to connecting with SLU Law alumni, “SLU has a good reputation in the St. Louis area and it is great at providing information and networking events that connect you with the alumni.” One student points out that SLU Law “seems to be doubted for academic quality because of the rankings and the fact that a top 20 law school [Washington University] is the other school in the city;” rankings aside, students say they “wish people could now take the opportunity to see how awesome [SLU Law] is.”
The professors at SLU Law “are overall great, and class sizes makes professors accessible. They are always willing to help students outside of the classroom.” The fact that “teachers and faculty know virtually everyone working the St. Louis legal community” leads to “introductions” and “internships.” Students appreciate that “practically ever professor has practiced law before becoming an academic, so they know what to teach you to be successful. They train lawyers not professors, unlike many elite schools.” Unlike at many law schools, students say that on the whole “the administration staff, including career services, are excellent” and that “since the first day that I interacted with SLU Law administration and faculty, I have always felt welcomed and that they had an open door for me, whatever the issue.” Some wish, however, that “the Career Services office would be more useful if it gave equal attention to all students regardless of class rank.” Others add that, in the current economy, it might be beneficial for the Career Services office to “provide more resources for alternative career paths for law graduates.” In terms of facilities, students say, “The modernization at the school is unbelievable and really maximizes the learning experience.”
