The Northwestern Law Advantage
Business law is one of the main foci of Northwestern Law’s curriculum, and we offer the
opportunity for our students to take several jointly-listed courses at the Kellogg School of
Management. About 10% of our JD students - almost 25 per class - are enrolled in our
exceptional, integrated three-year JD-MBA program. Additionally, over 90% of our students
enter Northwestern with at least one year of work experience; over 70% have two or more years.
Many of our students have worked in professional business settings such as consulting,
investment banking, technology, and real estate.
