Top notch professors. This is the only law school where the professors will spend the time you need to be successful. They will go out of their way to find you a job. The campus is absolutely state of the art and a great environment to study.

Thomas Jefferson get s bad rap, but the quality of education, the professors' availability, the connections Career Services has, and the academic success department make the educational experience enriching. I love Thomas Jefferson.

Staff seems indifferent. Located in a bad part of town.

Extremely high tuition for the level compared to it's tier rating in law schools. Professor quality is really hit and miss. I would not recommend, unless you need to go part-time.
