Boston College Law School
Service and Scholarship
Nearly every problem the world faces today is informed by law, and Boston College Law School provides students with the tools and the guidance to face tomorrow’s most important legal questions in an ethical fashion. BC Law develops dynamic leaders, litigators, negotiators, and problem solvers. Its cutting-edge curriculum, dedicated faculty, and expansive experiential learning opportunities are built upon the Jesuit, Catholic values of discernment and care for the whole person. And its small classes and close-knit community are among the qualities that make it truly special.

As it approaches its landmark 100th anniversary in 2029, BC Law is a school on the move. The community is energized and active, and its markers of excellence are rising rapidly. A cohort of dynamic newcomers has joined the faculty. But there are significant needs in areas of student financial support, academics, and campus life that will impact the Law School’s ability to build upon its strengths and amplify its growing reputation.
Soaring Higher: the Campaign for Boston College aims to raise $100 million for BC Law’s centennial and cement its legacy for the next one hundred years—an ambitious effort to write the next chapter in the Law School’s history and impact future generations of students called to use the law to serve others.

“We need a legal profession that’s not only well trained to fiercely advocate for particular client views, but also one that understands the need to ask the deeper ethical and moral questions. It is such an important part of what a law school is or should be, certainly what BC Law School is and needs to be going forward.”
—Odette Lienau, Inaugural Marianne D. Short, Esq., Dean and Professor of Law
