“The facilities are outstanding” at Seattle University, with a “bright and open” building that is “really nice, modern, and inviting.” The law school is “always a comfortable temperature,” has “excellent wireless access,” and features “plenty of places to study and plenty of plug ins for laptops.” There are “tons of places to meet in groups or hide to study alone,” especially in the library where you can even “eat and drink” while hitting the books. “The library staff [is] very accessible and helpful” and “even the custodial staff and the baristas are sweethearts.”
Academically, the most constantly praised program is easily the “top notch” “number one-ranked legal writing program.” “The legal writing program really shines and local employers take that into account when making hiring decisions,” a 1L explains. “It’s the only reason anyone that has a job after graduation got that job,” says a 3L. “One of the highlights really has to be the center for professional development,” and students also praise the law clinics. The “very passionate” professors “literally beg students to come to office hours.” Some do suggest professors can be “a mixed bag.” “The professors and deans are very accessible and willing to talk to/work with students to solve any problems,” and they work to ensure classes are “always a collaborative and encouraging but challenging environment.” A 2L elaborates: “The teaching focus is traditional with modern twists: how would this rule of evidence apply to text messages? Is opening an email an unlawful search? What free sources of research are available on the internet?” However, one 2L fears that “the theme of ‘social justice’ has overrun the theme of creating employable lawyers.” “I loved every class and for the first time in my educational career, I actually WANTED to do my homework!” one pleased student declares. The “very down to earth” administration also receives praise for being “more than capable of answering just about every question you could have.” Some students do think the administration should work to make “the night program more equal to the day program,” and in general the administration should “focus more on preparing students for employment following graduation.” A 2L sums up their experience thusly: “The entire focus of the program, from top to bottom, is: You CAN do this and you CAN be amazing at it.”
