Message from the Dean

Founded in 1951, Seton Hall University School of Law is the only private law school in New Jersey and is widely respected for its high-caliber faculty and innovative academic programs.
Seton Hall Law faculty members are known as widely published legal scholars, most of whom have also practiced law. They are accessible and invite ongoing dialogue with their students. Their dedication to scholarship and to each of their students, make particularly qualified to provide a well-rounded and rigorous legal education.
There are certain qualities that set Seton Hall Law apart and give it a unique character. Among them are a curriculum that has a strong balance of theory and practice, flexibility and dedication to excellence in teaching and scholarship, and its value of academic freedom in the pursuit of both. Our faculty members’ work has consistently helped to shape law and public policy while contributing to the legal academy's intellectual enterprise.
Teaching and scholarship are linked with service to the local community to advance the Law School's social justice mission on a global scale. The Law School commits substantial resources to its clinical programs, and sponsors numerous events each year that bring together world renowned legal scholars and practitioners, advocates, elected officials, business leaders and policymakers to consider, to discuss, and to formulate solutions that address our society’s most compelling issues.
We welcome you to Seton Hall Law and invite you to explore our community further.
