A good portion of your time at Seton Hall Law School will be spent in classes, in
the library reading, or at home studying, but it is important for you to make time
for your other interests. As an aspiring attorney, you should learn now to achieve
balance in your life. We encourage students to see a show at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, attend a New Jersey Devils hockey game or Seton Hall basketball games at the Prudential Center, go see a soccer game at the Red Bull Arena in nearby Harrison, take the PATH train into New York City and explore a museum -
don't forget about what made you an interesting and well-rounded person before you
came to law school. You are fortunate to have selected a law school with a very active
student body. We encourage you to get involved in the student organizations and activities here that are geared toward your personal interests and professional
goals.

Students now have the ability to deposit any amount of money onto the ID cards and can completely manage their accounts online.

It is of paramount importance that the safety and security of the entire Seton Hall Law School community is maintained at all times. Please review the below topics on how best to prepare yourself in the event of an emergency:
The Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act was signed into law in November 1990. In 1998, the law was amended and renamed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Statistics Act, commonly called the Clery Act. This law mandates that institutions that receive Title IV federal funds disclose crime statistics for certain serious offenses that occurred on campus and in adjacent areas for the current and two previous calendar years. The purpose of this report is to provide current and prospective students, staff and faculty with campus safety information including crime statistics and procedures to follow to report a crime. This document was prepared within the Division of Student Services and is available for download. A paper copy of the report can be obtained upon request from the Department of Public Safety at the Public Safety Building, located next to the Ward Gate on the South Orange campus or you can also obtain a copy by contacting the Law School Department of Public Safety and Security at 973-642-8252.
