Faculty Information
Students Say
The many “very knowledgeable” and “distinguished” professors here “truly are a hidden gem.” Their ranks include “some of the most experienced legal minds anywhere.” They also “possess a great deal of real-world experience” and “give practical lessons about real-life lawyering.” The faculty is pretty big on the “Socratic Method.” A student explains that his torts professor “writes everyone’s name on a playing card. Before class he draws three cards, and the three people have a roundtable discussion presenting the cases that were assigned. It is by far the most memorable first-year experience.” “Small class sizes” “allow for greater participation” and “You are able to get to know your professors better.” The intimacy “strongly encourages differing viewpoints and class discussion” as well. Professors here “truly care about your success and take an interest in your life outside of the classroom.” “The amount of time each professor is willing to dedicate to each student never fails to impress me,” agrees another student. “They genuinely want each student to succeed.”
The “professional looking” facilities (featuring “marble and mahogany throughout”) are “outstanding.” There is also “Internet access throughout the school.” “Every classroom is equipped with plenty of electrical outlets,” notes one student. Most students would also like to see the library “open later hours.”
The well-liked administration here is “always available and extremely helpful.” It’s worth noting that the Jones School of Law is one of only three fully ABA accredited law schools in Alabama. A significant milestone for the school, it basically means that students can take any bar exam in any state when they graduate just like graduates of all ABA-approved law schools.

Students Say
Students say that their peers “come from all strata of society and bring varying perspectives based upon their personal, professional and educational experiences.” “There are people that are directly out of college as well as people that have been out of undergrad for fifteen to twenty years,” explains one student.
Outside of class, there are “seminars, speakers,” and “even school parties,” but students feel “there should be a few more social opportunities, especially on the weekends.” Many students are active in church. “I play basketball with friends,” says an athletic 2L. “We also play flag football and get together for poker and other events to take our minds off school.”
