NEWARK - AT THE HEART OF IT ALL
Just eight miles west of Manhattan, Newark is part of the largest legal market in
the nation. The largest city in New Jersey and one of the country’s largest transportation
hubs, Newark is home to federal state and county courthouses as well as leading law
firms. The Northern New Jersey region also houses top global corporations across all
industries including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, financial services and technology,
among others.
The Prudential Center, the Newark Museum, the New Jersey Center for Performing Arts
and the Ironbound are just a few blocks from the Law School, giving students quick
access to sporting events, concerts, world-renowned works of art and wonderful food.
A short train ride takes students to New York City, where they can enjoy the world’s
greatest array of arts and entertainment. Students can also take advantage of the
many state parks and recreational opportunities, such as hiking in the Palisades Mountains
along the Hudson River or hitting the waves at the famed Jersey Shore.
