The many 鈥渧ery knowledgeable鈥 and 鈥渄istinguished鈥 professors here 鈥渢ruly are a hidden gem.鈥 Their ranks include 鈥渟ome of the most experienced legal minds anywhere.鈥 They also 鈥減ossess a great deal of real-world experience鈥 and 鈥済ive practical lessons about real-life lawyering.鈥 The faculty is pretty big on the 鈥淪ocratic Method.鈥 A student explains that his torts professor 鈥渨rites everyone鈥檚 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.鈥 鈥淪mall class sizes鈥 鈥渁llow for greater participation鈥 and 鈥淵ou are able to get to know your professors better.鈥 The intimacy 鈥渟trongly encourages differing viewpoints and class discussion鈥 as well. Professors here 鈥渢ruly care about your success and take an interest in your life outside of the classroom.鈥 鈥淭he amount of time each professor is willing to dedicate to each student never fails to impress me,鈥 agrees another student. 鈥淭hey genuinely want each student to succeed.鈥
The 鈥減rofessional looking鈥 facilities (featuring 鈥渕arble and mahogany throughout鈥) are 鈥渙utstanding.鈥 There is also 鈥淚nternet access throughout the school.鈥 鈥淓very classroom is equipped with plenty of electrical outlets,鈥 notes one student. Most students would also like to see the library 鈥渙pen later hours.鈥
The well-liked administration here is 鈥渁lways available and extremely helpful.鈥 It鈥檚 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.
