Brooklyn Law School is a law school located in downtown Brooklyn, New York.
History
The school was founded in 1901 by William Payson Richardson and Norman Heffley. It opened with eighteen students. The school is noted for its diversity. Photographs indicate that by 1909, African Americans and women attended the school. The school was affiliated with St. Lawrence University from 1903 to 1943. In that year, the university decided to close the law school, but faculty and alumni bought it and Brooklyn Law became an independent institution. The school moved into its current home at 250 Joralemon Street in 1969.
