Your academic and professional development starts when you arrive and doesn’t end at the classroom door or upon graduation.
JOINING THE NORTHAMPTON COMMUNITY creates a lifelong connection crossing both personal and professional boundaries. Northampton alumni are over 12,000 strong and practice throughout the U.S. in government, public interest organizations, law firms, corporations, consulting firms, non-profits, and the judiciary. Many of our alumni live and work in area and devote much of their time to mentoring our students while they attend law school.
“We are committed to ensuring that Northampton graduates are the most prepared and best equipped in the nation.”
