At Northwestern Law the overarching
goal of our innovative curricular plan is to
empower our graduates to adapt to and
master the challenges of the changing world
better than those of any other law school.
We go beyond teaching the basics of legal
reasoning to enable our students to make
sound and ethical judgments, understand
and improve the delivery of justice, and
respond to the changing contexts in which
law and legal institutions operate.
Our Approach
Building a foundation in law
Northwestern Law provides a thorough
understanding of the structures and policies
of the law as well as a superior foundation
in legal reasoning, analysis, and writing, for
every student, particularly in the rst year of
study. Our students gain a broad and general
understanding of how the law and legal
institutions evolve and operate.
Studying law as practiced and
in context
Our nationally ranked clinical program has
been a leader in teaching about the law in
action in three ways: simulation of trials and
negotiations, actual client representation, and
externship work in a variety of legal practice
settings. By the time our students graduate
they will have had a variety of experiences that
will enable them to make wise decisions about
professional specializations and career choices.
Preparing for the globalization
of law and business
Northwestern Law operates in an environment
marked by increasing globalization of law and
commerce. Our students are exposed to the
international implications of what they learn
about the law. We provide superior educational
opportunities for students from around the
world. Our students and faculty take advantage
of opportunities to learn, teach, visit, and
interact with their counterparts from other
nations and different cultures.
Strengthening teamwork and
communication skills
The modern world of legal practice
and business is dominated by the use of
multifunctional groups and teams. Through
educational programs that focus on skills in
teamwork, interpersonal communication,
transactional practice and business, our
students develop the ability to work effectively
in groups with lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

During your frst year of study at Northwestern
Law, you will focus on building a solid
foundation in legal reasoning, analysis, and
writing, as well as a thorough understanding
of the structures and policies of the law. Our
frst-year curriculum consists of 24 credits of
required classes. Half of all frst-year classes are
taught in sections of 60 or fewer students.
1L
www.law.northwestern.edu | 5
Teamwork and communication skills are strongly emphasized in classes such
as Communication and Legal Reasoning, a required year-long course in which
students collaborate on analytical exercises and group projects. As part of this
class, you will participate in the Arlyn Miner First-Year Moot Court, which requires
rst-year students to prepare a professional-level written brief and argue the case
against fellow students before an appellate court composed of alumni and faculty.
Another supplement to your rst-year education is the mandatory seminar,
Lawyer as Problem Solver. In this seminar, faculty and legal professionals teach
students how to facilitate problem solving for clients in settings outside the
courtroom or boardroom.
At the end of your rst year, you may apply for a position on one of the Law
Schools scholarly journals. Selection is based on a writing competition, rst-year
grades, and a publishable note or comment on a legal topic.
Required Courses
The following required rst-
year courses provide a basic
foundation in law and legal
reasoning:
Civil Procedure
Communication and Legal
Reasoning I and II
Constitutional Law
Contracts
Criminal Law
Lawyer as Problem Solver
Property
Torts
Upperclass Electives Open to First-Year Students
During the second semester of your rst year, you will have the opportunity
to take two upperclass electives that may form the basis of additional study
in subsequent years. Also available as electives will be courses that meet the
graduation requirement that every student take at least one course offering an

with a faculty advisor, to develop a comprehensive semester-long curriculum and
plan a two week international eld experience during spring break. Students then
work together to prepare a paper of publishable quality detailing their research
and ndings. Last year, ITP students traveled to Australia, Brazil, Chile, Ethiopia,
Greece, Malawi, Morocco, and Vietnam.
Study Abroad
Our International Programs Ofce works with students interested in taking
advantage of the Law Schools dynamic study abroad programs. International
and comparative study can broaden a students perspective on our own legal
system as well as those of other countries and of the international community. The
Law School aims to encourage and facilitate such study for students interested
in comparative and international law. The Law School has negotiated exchange
relationships with law faculties abroad. These schools include Institut dEtude
Politiques de Paris in Paris, France; Universidad Torcuato Di Tella in Buenos Aires,
Argentina; Bond University in Gold Coast, Australia; and Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven in Leuven, Belgium.

achieve until several years into practice.
Our clinical faculty consists of nationally recognized scholars who are diverse in
background and perspective. More than thirty clinical professors at Northwestern
Law combine classroom instruction with hands-on experience for more than 200
students who take clinical courses each year.
Each year, hundreds of clients receive assistance from Bluhm Legal Clinic students.
Our students serve a wide range of clients including teenagers tangled in an
unjust juvenile legal system and entrepreneurs in need of affordable legal advice.

The Campus
Northwestern University School of Law is
located at the eastern edge of Northwesterns
20-acre Chicago campus, in one of the citys
most desirable neighborhoods: Streeterville.
To the east is Lake Michigan; to the west,
Chicagos premier shopping district,
Michigan Avenues Magnicent Mile; to
the north, the elegant Gold Coast residential
neighborhood. The city provides an ideal
setting for the study of law, and students take
advantage of the location through visits to
local courts, law rms, and corporations.

While many of our law school graduates remain within the legal profession and
move between rm, public service, government, and academic positions, others
choose to navigate between the increasingly integrated elds of law and business.
The Career Centers mission is to provide students and alumni with the tools and
strategies to conduct successful job searches and manage multi-job careers over
their lifetime. It also facilitates connections to potential employers, including law
rms, government agencies, non-prot organizations, and businesses.
The Career Center offers an array of services to help students and alumni
successfully advance throughout the course of their careers including: one-on-
one counseling, career-oriented panels and programs, mock interviews, alumni
coaching and networking opportunities.
The Law School also offers on- and
off-campus recruitment programs,
Myers-Briggs self-assessments, etiquette
dinners, and job postings.
Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)
Government and public interest jobs offer excellent opportunities for law
graduates, but the cost of law school loans and the lower pay level of these jobs
often bars graduates from considering these options.
Northwestern Laws current program dovetails with provisions of the College Cost
Reduction and Access Act of 2007 (CCRAA). The CCRAA allows graduates to
use Income Based Repayment (IBR) to lower monthly payments on federal student
loans. However, one drawback of IBR is that the low payments often do not cover
the interest due on the loan, much less the principal. Northwestern Law offers a
unique program that helps graduates make their IBR payments and also pay down
some of the unpaid interest during the rst ve years. This provision benets
graduates whose changing life circumstances cause them to pursue private sector
employment before full forgiveness is achieved.

In todays competitive world, law students soon discover that their support for
each other is vital to their success. Our supportive, noncompetitive environment
also factors largely in their success.

applicants. Our students reect a broad range of experience and opinion. We also
have the most geographically diverse student body in the country. Finally, because
work and life experience is such an important factor in our admissions decisions,
no other top law school can match the extensive real world perspectives that our
students bring to the classroom. 90 percent of our entering students have had one
or more years of full-time work experience before entering Northwestern Law.
We hope you will consider joining our community.
