Profile of the Class of 2026
Innovative curriculum. Leading faculty.
BU Law ensures that our students’ law school experience prepares them for the rapidly evolving legal market by maintaining close contact with employers across all sectors—and listening to what they need from lawyers who join them. Our top faculty (regularly ranked as leaders by the Princeton Review law school rankings) nurture our students in small classes, with an average faculty/student ratio of 1:11. Our innovative curriculum, which includes our online required Business Fundamentals course and programs such as the Transactional Law Program and clinics, ensures they master not only the necessary doctrinal principles, but also the key practice-based skills such as legal writing and research, teamwork, and problem-solving, that they will need to effectively serve your clients.
