Established in 1859, what is now Northwestern Pritzker School of Law was the first law school founded in the city of Chicago. During the century and a half since, it has served as a leading institution of legal education and research, and has produced a number of alumni who have gone on to distinguished legal, political, academic, and business careers.

Northwestern Law celebrates 150 years of women alongside Northwestern University at-large. To learn more about the Law School’s history, please see the Spring 2020 issue of the Northwestern Law Reporter. To learn more about the University’s history, please see their website.
