Dean’s Advisory Board

For 150 years, BU Law has been an institution of firsts. We honor that tradition and serve our current students and alumni by continuing to innovate and set new standards in legal education. The collective resources, knowledge, guidance, and advocacy of the Boston University School of Law Dean’s Advisory Board provide a distinct advantage in this effort. Members of this distinguished group serve as a sounding board for the Dean and University leadership by reviewing, evaluating, and providing feedback on the most important matters facing BU Law.
