The Law School at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) was a department of Princeton University from 1847 until 1852.
 It began instruction in 1847 as a modest effort consisting of three professors: Joseph Coerten Hornblower, Richard Stockton Field, and James S. Green.
 Only seven students obtained a law degree before the school closed in 1852.
 The short-lived experiment was the furthest the university got in a recurring ambition, marked by varying levels of effort, to establish a law school.
 Previously, in the 1820s, an attempt was made to organize teaching in law, but this plan ended with the death of the designated professor.
 In 1935, the university once again formed appreciable plans for the start of a law school but was unable to secure a faculty.
 The desire remained after these unsuccessful efforts but aspirations were relegated to thirsting words rather than material preparations.
 In 1974, then president of Princeton, William G. Bowen, selected a committee to investigate and advise on the achievability of a law school.
 The committee recommended plans for a law school be deferred after citing high construction costs.
 Princeton, Brown, and Dartmouth are the only Ivy League schools to lack a law school, and all Princeton graduates who are lawyers will have received their legal training elsewhere.
Herman Oliphant (1884–1939) was a professor of law.
 He started at the University of Chicago, going to Columbia University in 1922.
 He was originally from Forest, Indiana, the grandson of William Oliphant, an early pioneer of that area.
 Herman grew up on the family farm.
 In 1903, he graduated from Forest High School and attended Marion College.
 He returned home in 1905 to marry his childhood sweetheart, Julia Sims.
 In 1907, he graduated from Marion College and then went on to obtain degrees from Indiana University (1909) and his law degree from the University of Chicago in 1914.
 Shortly after his arrival at Columbia University, he wrote to the university's president, Nicholas Murray Butler, outlining some plans he had for reorganizing the curriculum of the law school.
 Essentially, his goal was to transform the school into a research center, placing particular emphasis on the interaction of the law and other social sciences.
 Under the administration of Huger Jervey, who became dean of the law school in 1924, Oliphant's plans were used as the basis for a reorganization of the law school.
