         For the FOURTEEN JESUIT LAW SCHOOLS in the United States, the College of Holy Cross lists their address, phone number, and gives a link.

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY

 
  • One out of every 10 American law students is enrolled in a Jesuit law school. In the US alone, there are 28 Jesuit colleges and universities located from coast to coast. Of these, 14 have a law school.
  • Located primarily in large cities, Jesuit law schools were among the first to provide access to women and people of color, and to offer both day and evening programs of study.

    SEATTLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW

    • The 2010  entering class is made up of 50% women and 27% students of color. The average is 27.
    • Seattle University offer a financial aid program through which  $37 million dollars in scholarships, loan, loan forgiveness (for alumni) and work-study funds are annually awarded to more than 90% of our students.
    • A GREAT IDEA. Seattle University offers an Early Enrollment Option through which all admitted students may begin legal studies in the summer, rather than waiting until fall, and a flexible schedule allowing students to complete their first year in 9, 12 or 15 months.
    • More than 100 classes are offered in fall, spring, and summer terms between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.
