Be a leader

In recognition of its national leadership in experiential learning, Northeastern University School of Law has been ranked No. 1 for practical training by preLaw/The National Jurist. This is the seventh year in a row that Northeastern has held the No. 1 spot.

Professor Woodrow Hartzog has been selected to receive Northeastern University's Research and Creative Activity Award in recognition of the prolific body of work he produced in 2020, including several law review articles and a co-authored book titled Breached! Why Data Security Law Fails and How to Improve It.

“This was a moment that affirms the humanity of Black people,” Professor Margaret Burnham, director of Northeastern Law’s Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project (CRRJ) tells Northeastern News. “The verdict restores a kind of moral balance and it also is going to inform the conversations that we are now engaged in nationally around policing: What kind of policing do we want in our country? How can we create a system where Black people are not both over-policed and under-protected, as is true of the current system?”
