We have tried very hard to consider both the current and future needs of our faculty and students in their design. Law schools across the country are trying to stay up to date in the swiftly advancing world of technology. In the competitive world of legal education, technological advances can make or break the reputation of any school. In the National Jurist's latest survey, over 100 law schools responded, showing the wide range of how technically equipped some schools can be and are. The most wired schools have full wireless networking, the latest technology available.
New technology goes hand in hand with a school's expansion.
And Boston College is no exception. The wiring also allows students to plug in their laptops at their seats and gain access to web-based legal tools on demand. In addition, professors are able to project images from their computers on screens at the front of each classroom. BCLS has moved up 2 spots from the National Jurist's 1998 survey, again showing the school's commitment to technological superiority. Student use and wireless network access placed Boston College ahead of its competitors and into the top three.
