Quinnipiac University School of Law is fully approved by the ABA and is a member of the AALS. Full-time day and part-time evening programs are offered beginning each fall. Quinnipiac provides a dynamic blend of traditional classroom instruction and extensive experiential learning opportunities. Students who wish to focus on a specific area of study may choose from six different concentrations ? Civil Advocacy & Dispute Resolution, Criminal Law & Advocacy, Family & Juvenile Law, Health Law, Intellectual Property, and Tax.
A total of 15 clinical and externship programs are available to students. The six clinical programs include Civil, Tax, Advanced, Evening (for part-time students), Defense Appellate, and Prosecution Appellate. The nine externship programs are Corporate Counsel, Criminal Justice, Family & Juvenile Law, Judicial, Legal Services, Legislative, Mediation, Public Interest, and Field Placement II. The law school also offers a joint JD/MBA degree and a summer study abroad program with Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Quinnipiac has established two centers in specialized fields of law ? the Center for Health Law & Policy and the Center on Dispute Resolution ? both of which draw on considerable academic strengths and resources within the law school community.
The 50,000 square-foot law library is at the center of the School of Law complex, with more than 420,000 volumes and providing comprehensive access to numerous electronic resources and databases such as LexisNexis, Westlaw/Dialog, JSTOR, and other web-based services. Its interlibrary loan network makes it possible to obtain materials from any library in the world. Approximately 90 percent of the student body receives some form of financial assistance. Accepted applicants are automatically considered for merit scholarships and grants as determined by the Scholarship Committee.
There is ample, affordable housing available throughout Fairfield and New Haven counties. The School of Law Office of Admissions and the Quinnipiac University Office of Residential Life assist in securing off-campus accommodations. The student body of almost 400, representing 27 states and approximately 175 different undergraduate institutions, is diverse in terms of geography, background, education, age, and work experience. Quinnipiac students participate in co-curricular activities including a dynamic Student Bar Association, more than 20 different student organizations, a thriving Moot Court Society, an active Quinnipiac Law Review, and two law journals ? the Health Law Journal and the Probate Law Journal.
The Quinnipiac University School of Law is situated on the Quinnipiac University campus, a picturesque 500-acre site in Hamden, Connecticut. Close to New York, Boston, Hartford, and New Haven, the law school is at the heart of one of the biggest concentrations of private law firms, corporate headquarters and financial institutions in the country. The beautiful, state-of-the-art law center, opened in 1995, with wireless computer access in all the classrooms and study areas, provides students with a modern, relaxed, and safe environment for study.
The faculty?s academic credentials span the nation?s leading law schools from Harvard, Yale and Berkeley to Chicago, Michigan and Columbia. The low student-faculty ratio (11:1) allows students to work closely with faculty, and this translates into a different kind of law school experience.
Applications are welcomed from students of color, non-traditional students, and all students who add to the diversity of the student body. A rolling admissions system is used; however, the priority application deadline for admission and scholarship consideration is March 1. Candidates for the Dean?s Fellows and Faculty Fellows awards must apply by January 15.
