New England School of Law Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

The New England School of Law (NESL) is located in Boston, Massachusetts in the theater district. It was founded in 1908 as Portia Law School, the only law school established exclusively for the education of women. NESL has been coeducational since 1938, being renamed New England School of Law in 1969. New England School of Law is ABA (American Bar Association) accredited and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools. With four other independent law schools, NESL is also a founding member of the Consortium for Innovative Legal Education. NESL’s 18 clinics in areas such as domestic violence, environmental law, family law, federal courts, health and hospital law, immigration law, and mediation offer opportunities for practical legal experience in varied fields, and each clinic has a required classroom component. NESL’s full-time faculty members are top graduates of fine law schools in the United States and abroad. MacLean’s wife dubbed it Portia Law School, after the heroine of Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice.” The only law school in the nation founded exclusively for the education of women, Portia Law School became coeducational in 1938. In 1969, the school’s name was changed to New England School of Law and accreditation was granted by the American Bar Association. In January 1998, the law school was elected to membership in the Association of American Law Schools. The law school’s five-story main building is located at 154 Stuart Street in Boston’s theater district, within walking distance of courthouses, federal and state offices. Wireless technology throughout the law school allows Internet access from anywhere in the building. Offices for the school’s administrative departments, clinical law office, and student publications are located in a two-story building in a residential neighborhood, about three blocks from the main building. The law school recently acquired an additional building adjacent to the main facility for future expansion. The New England Law Review was established in 1965 as the Portia Law Journal. When Portia Law School changed its name to the New England School of Law in 1969, the Law Review became the New England Law Review.
