About The College of Law
Northern Illinois University College of Law is a young and dynamic school offering its diverse student body a broad perspective of the law through high-quality programs and practical-skills training taught by well-respected, dynamic faculty of equal diversity.
The campus is located just over an hour from Chicago in the suburban setting of DeKalb, Illinois.
As the only public law school in the greater Chicago area, the Northern Illinois University College of Law was founded on a core belief that a high quality, challenging legal education should not be cost prohibitive.
In its history, NIU Law has built a proud tradition of graduating students not only skilled in legal knowledge and practice, but also imbued with a high degree of community responsibility, committed to serving the needs of a diverse and ever-changing society.
In and out of the classroom, it seeks to promote the formation of lifelong bonds, not only among students, but also between the students, administration and faculty.
NIU Law is a community centered on learning due to its academic programs in the classroom as well as in its Zeke Giorgi Legal Clinic in Rockford, IL

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or law:
“Here was a place where nothing was crystallized. There were no traditions, no customs, no college songs .... There were no rules and regulations. All would have to be thought of, planned, built up, created—what a magnificent opportunity!”
—Mabel Smith Douglass (1877–1933)
“I do not believe in lawyers, in that mode of attacking or defending a man, because you descend to meet the judge on his own ground, and, in cases of the highest importance, it is of no consequence whether a man breaks a human law or not. Let lawyers decide trivial cases.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
