Venue description

School of Law was established in 1872 by a group of educators, lawyers, law teachers and jurists united by two beliefs. Firstly, a superior legal education requires instruction in the theory, analysis and practice of law. Secondly, the founders believed that educational opportunities should be available to anyone, with merit as the only test. Boston University School of Law had been home to distinguished figures in law and legal scholarships, to judges and other public servants, to prominent members of the bar, and to some of the finest teachers an institute can boast.
