History
Northeastern University School of Law was founded by the Boston Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) in 1898. It started as a series of evening law courses, the first in Boston, and was incorporated as an LL.B.-granting law school, the Evening School of Law of the Boston YMCA, in 1904. Additional campuses were opened in Worcester (1917), Springfield (1917), and Providence, Rhode Island (1920). It was renamed Northeastern University School of Law in 1922 and started admitting women. The school closed in 1956 due to declining enrollment and financial difficulties. It reopened in 1968 with Cooperative Legal Education at the heart of its approach to experience-based learning.
