Students Say
When it comes to the Saint Louis community, students say that 鈥渙ur professors are active in legal issues throughout the St. Louis area and their ideas are invaluable in community discourse. It is a great feeling to attend and work with faculty and students so involved and respected in the area.鈥 Not only that, 鈥淸we] can walk across the street and watch a trial in their free time鈥 at the civil courthouse, and 鈥渢he criminal and federal courthouses are less than a quarter mile away.鈥 When it comes to connecting with SLU Law alumni, 鈥淪LU has a good reputation in the St. Louis area and it is great at providing information and networking events that connect you with the alumni.鈥 One student points out that SLU Law 鈥渟eems to be doubted for academic quality because of the rankings and the fact that a top 20 law school [Washington University] is the other school in the city;鈥 rankings aside, students say they 鈥渨ish people could now take the opportunity to see how awesome [SLU Law] is.鈥
The professors at SLU Law 鈥渁re overall great, and class sizes makes professors accessible. They are always willing to help students outside of the classroom.鈥 The fact that 鈥渢eachers and faculty know virtually everyone working the St. Louis legal community鈥 leads to 鈥渋ntroductions鈥 and 鈥渋nternships.鈥 Students appreciate that 鈥減ractically ever professor has practiced law before becoming an academic, so they know what to teach you to be successful. They train lawyers not professors, unlike many elite schools.鈥 Unlike at many law schools, students say that on the whole 鈥渢he administration staff, including career services, are excellent鈥 and that 鈥渟ince the first day that I interacted with SLU Law administration and faculty, I have always felt welcomed and that they had an open door for me, whatever the issue.鈥 Some wish, however, that 鈥渢he Career Services office would be more useful if it gave equal attention to all students regardless of class rank.鈥 Others add that, in the current economy, it might be beneficial for the Career Services office to 鈥減rovide more resources for alternative career paths for law graduates.鈥 In terms of facilities, students say, 鈥淭he modernization at the school is unbelievable and really maximizes the learning experience.鈥
