I have read that they have a very accomplished faculty and that they are starting to improve in most of their statistics such as bar passage and job placement. I have been accepted there and am considering it. Seems like an average city campus, law school is one floor of a building with a few medium sized classrooms and one huge lecture room built for about 150 people. there are a few small librarys for the clinics in the school also. The law library was redone in the last few years, i dont know when, and is very nice, there is lots of desk space, journals from all the schools, court reporters for all the state and federal courts, and a few meeting rooms. this place seems nice, but it often gets bashed by people who look on anything less than harvard as pathetic. it will give you a good education - as any law school will, but will also provide you with real lawyering practice in the clinics. i think it is 350 hrs in 2nd semester 2L and 350 hrs in 1st semester 3L and you represent people in many matters from HIV/AIDS to landlord tennant issues. i have also heard that you need to do 40 hrs of community service in the 1L (working in various government and nonprofit offices) and that this will often lead to a summer intership, which they offer soem stipend for. it would probably be tough to get a 1L summer job in a big firm unless you are atop the class (competing with GW, GULC, American, Catholic, Howard), but could probably work in a mid sized firm if you so chose
