As an alumni of this school I can honestly say it was one the best experiences I had. All experiences come with ups and downs, but at the end this school, along with its professors made my experience one that has helped me grow into a great student and soon to be attorney. The professors are some of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever met and want to see you succeed. The school itself offered me countless opportunities which, based on my experience at other law schools I have not seen.
As a student you are not allowed to have a view if they do not agree with it. I was kicked out of an event that I was invited to because I wore a Trump shirt and NRA hat.
As a current 2L I could not be happier with my decision to go to Touro Law Center. nThe administration pushes heavily for students to work together and help each other. This helps creates one of the most friendly environments of any law school in the nation and allows for students to feel comfortable in what they are doing. The comfortably allows for students to excel and to be confident in their abilities. nAfter just one semester, I volunteered to represent Touro in the National Baseball Arbitration Competition. This was an opportunity I would not of had at most law schools and it certainly opened my eyes up to how enjoyable a life in the law could be. Without the confidence in my abilities that I gained throughout that first semester I most likely would not have even thought of volunteering. nIf you have a plan to work in Suffolk County, there is no school with stronger ties to Suffolk County agencies than Touro. For instance, this past summer I interned in the Suffolk County Attorneys Office and gained valuable experience in both the torts and general litigation sectors. I assisted the attorneys in a variety of ways such as: writing memorandums of law that would later be submitted to the court and conducting legal research on a variety of topics such as police brutality to disability discrimination. I frequently attended the Federal Courthouse with the attorneys to gain valuable in-court experience. Without Touro's strong ties with the local agencies, it would have been much more difficult for me to gain the experience that I did.
As a member of the Class of 2018, I have felt extremely supported by the faculty, staff, and my fellow peers since my first day of orientation. Throughout my law school career, I have had the opportunity to work and learn with some of the most amazing individuals that I have ever met. My professors have consistently pushed me to reach heights, which I have never thought could be achieved. At my school, I feel a part of something bigger. We are family. We know each other, we care for each other, and we grow together.
I am a proud member of Touro Law's Class of 2018. The faculty, staff and students at Touro are always willing to listen to one another and help whenever possible. I would recommend any prospective students to apply to Touro as it has been a pleasure to become a part of the Touro Law Family.
