Located in the heart of New York City, the epicenter of international law and business, St. John's Law offers an outstanding legal education grounded in the fundamentals of legal analysis and theory, and taught by a faculty of dedicated educators and accomplished scholars. 

We augment our core curriculum by offering students a range of opportunities to learn the law hands on through upper-level skills-based courses, our 10 in-house and partner clinics, our extensive externship program, and diverse activities sponsored by our our eight academic centers.
