NCCU School of Law Named One of Country's 167 Best

Recently, the Princeton Review listed North Carolina Central University School of Law as one of the nation’s most excellent law schools. Constance Milstein earned her J.D. cum laude from the school after she completed her undergraduate studies at New York University.

NCCU School of Law was featured in the Princeton Review’s 2012 edition of The Best 167 Law Schools. The school is praised for its diversity within the legal curriculum and includes quotes from students who comment the school for its value, emphasis on practical training and the encouragement and guidance of educators and staff.

“Our law school appreciates the continuous national recognition we are receiving with regard to the quality of our program of legal education,” said Raymond Pierce, the Dean of NCCU School of Law, in a statement.

For each school selected by the Princeton Review, the book includes a summary on the school’s academics, student life, admissions and career placement. The law schools are selected based on the opinions of those at the Princeton Review and the integrity of the data collected from the school as compared with other law schools across the country. Student opinions way heavily in the selection as well; the Princeton Review surveyed approximately 18,000 students for this edition of the book.
