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 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.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or law:
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The times have changed. Why do you make a fuss
For privilege when there’s no law of form?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
