At Roger Williams, you will be immersed
in complex legal theory while developing
practical lawyering skills that will serve
you in the profession. As the only law school
in Rhode Island, the school holds a virtual
franchise throughout the school year on
student clerkship opportunities with federal
and state judges, state offices, and agencies.
Our clinical offerings in Community Justice & Legal Assitance and
Criminal Defense afford
our students valuable experience working
with real clients on real cases.
We offer many unique programs that will
enhance your educational experience. Our
Feinstein Institute for Legal Service
immerses students in an enriching public
interest experience.
Our Marine Affairs
Institute, a joint venture with the
University of Rhode Island, gives students
an opportunity to explore the legal, economic,
and policy aspects of the development of
the oceans and coastal zones. Our distinctive
study abroad programs
in London and Lisbon as well as our Portuguese-American
Comparative Law Center allow students
to place their legal education in a global
perspective.
Our joint
degree programs in Criminal Justice,
Labor Relations and Human Resources, and
Marine Affairs offer the opportunity for
cross disciplinary study.
I encourage you to explore our web site
to find out why students from across the
country and the world decide to begin their
legal careers here in Rhode Island. I invite
you to visit Bristol,
sit in on a First Year class, go on a student-led
tour, and meet with the Admissions Staff.
You will find Roger Williams University
School of Law to be a dynamic community
where students receive a first-class legal
education.
For more detailed information, we encourage

We look forward to hearing from you and
