Applying to BU Law

By deciding to join the Boston University community, you are deciding to become a part of a distinguished legacy that is at the forefront of academic and social advancement. BU was the first university to open all of its divisions to women, the first American university to exchange professors with European universities and the first to have a black dean at a predominantly white university.

Boston University School of Law has welcomed men and women of all races and religions since its founding over 130 years ago. Our alumnae include people like Lelia Robinson, the first woman admitted to the bar in Massachusetts, Consuelo Northrop Bailey, the first female Lieutenant Governor in the nation, and O. Rogeriee Thompson the first black woman Superior Court judge. To this day, BU Law continues to admit a widely diverse student body.
