Student Life

Law schools have personalities, too. Our welcoming, open culture defines St. John’s Law and sets us apart. Your learning with faculty and other students will extend beyond the classroom to study groups, brown bag lunch meetings, open-door faculty and administrative offices, informal gettogethers, and pickup soccer games.

You’ll also find camaraderie and kinship as a member of one or more of the student organizations coordinated by the Law School’s Student Bar Association.

St. John’s Law students are part of a true campus community. You can take advantage of all the academic, recreational, and cultural resources that St. John’s University has to offer, including the fitness center, yoga classes, music and theater performances, spectator sports, and religious services.

The University maintains a group of townhouses exclusively for law students. The Law School also provides resources to students seeking off-campus housing.

Student life is thriving at St. John’s Law. Come see for yourself!
