Hofstra University School of Law

Hofstra Law School was founded 35 years ago with a unique vision. It would be a law school that would train students not just to think like lawyers, but to act like lawyers. That meant teaching students not just doctrine and analysis, but the skills used to practice law in the real world. Hofstra was one of the first schools in the country to embrace clinical education. We offer both the JD and LLM degree and prepare our students for a legal profession by providing a solid understanding of the law and extensive training in the skills of advocacy, negotiation and counseling.
