Case Closed: STJ Pre-Law Students Explore the Legal World

We met Buckets, the Jones School of Law unofficial mascot.

Nestled in the unpretentious streets of Atlanta Highway is Jones School of Law at Faulkner University. Stepping onto the campus of Jones, we were transported to a world of prestige. Mr. Daryl Bailey, the Director of Admissions, warmly greeted our class and introduced us to the President of the school, Mr. Mitch Henry, and the Dean of the School of Law, Mr. Charles Campbell. They were all gracious enough to take the time out of their busy schedules to speak to us and to share their passion for the law. Their informative and personable conversation illustrated the strong network of support and community at Jones. The environment that Jones creates in teacher-student relationships is incredible and definitely plays a big role in why the students of Jones School of Law are so successful. We got to see this first hand sitting in one of the school’s criminal law classes. The professor’s legal jargon was incomprehensible at times to us as Pre-Law students, but we understood that his relationships with the students fostered an environment that valued everyone’s growth. The students were comfortable with sharing their thoughts and questions, which overall stimulated a conducive learning environment. Montgomery has an exceptional law school right in its backyard. Ranked the fastest growing law school in the nation, Jones School of Law creates an environment that encourages students to excel in their fields of study. I highly consider looking into Jones School of Law for anyone pursuing a legal career.
