Albie Manzo, son of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Carolina Manzo, attended Seton Hall School of Law in 2009. After one semester, he left due to academic issues.

A January 15, 2004 New Jersey Law Journal article by Jim Edwards detailed how Seton Hall Law was investigated by the United States Department of Education for discrimination practices. Seton Hall University School of Law was the focus of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Education for allegedly discriminating against white law students. The probe focused on two Seton Hall programs: a minority mentoring effort called Partners in Excellence and a minority job fair. The investigation stemmed from an anonymous complaint by an individual not enrolled at the school. The Department of Education did not progress further than a preliminary investigation.

A September 24, 2007 Wall Street Journal article by Amir Efrati discusses the difficulties law school graduates face in the legal job market. The article focused on law school graduate Scott Bullock. Mr Bullock is a well known critic of the costs of law school, having previously blogged extensively on the subject. Currently, Mr. Bullock is a successful private practitioner at Zeppone & Bullock in Lyndhurst, New Jersey.

An August 15, 2010 Star Ledger article by Leslie Kwoh calls into question Seton Hall Law's published employment statistics, and again interviewed Scott Bullock, quoting him as describing the school as a "Ponzi scheme" The article discusses the law school's questionable "employment statistics" and how they are used to induce students to attend. Notably, the law school did not provide any backup documentation to support these "statistics". Seton Hall Law School has recently been applauded by media outlets for being at the forefront of a movement to become more transparent in the reporting of employment statistics. Seton Hall School of Law was one of only 34 law schools to release their NALP employment data.
