Our students come from across the globe to receive a top-notch education at BU Law. In turn, a BU Law degree enables our alumni to accept positions globally. We have Howard Zhang (LL.M. '93), partner at O’Melveny & Myers, Beijing; Peninah Machoka (LL.M. '03) Secretariat of the United Nations Commissions on International Trade Law, Austria; and Deborah Telman ('93), in-house counsel, The Boeing Company, Chicago.

Home to over 30 student organizations, BU Law has numerous opportunities for students to get involved. Many of our student organizations work together to co-sponsor social, academic and professional events.
