Faculty Information
Students Say
The "faculty are absolute all-stars," representing "some of the foremost legal minds in an array of fields." Students rate "professor accessibility" as "excellent" and agree that "professors have been able to offer valuable, candid advice on academics and employment." Because Northwestern Law faculty have "long experience in their respective [fields]," they can provide students with "very realistic" perspectives about "how the legal profession works." Northwestern Law tends to admit students with a few years of post-undergraduate work experience, so "the student body is generally a bit older," consequently "students are able to bring real-world experiences into the classroom" as well as "a much broader and more interesting perspective" to classroom discussion. However, most students agree that "the administration (Student Services) could be more transparent about what resources they offer" and overall "communication to students from all of the administrative-type offices (Student Services, Academic Affairs, the Career Strategy Center) could be improved." Other elements of the administration receive praise though: "I am starting two clerkships after graduation that I never would have applied for or gotten without the awesome Northwestern Law clerkship advisor," one student tells us.
