Ways To Give
MULTIPLE WAYS TO SUPPORT NSL.
Nashville School of Law is a non-profit institution that prides itself on offering the most affordable legal education in Tennessee. Students can earn a J.D. for less than the cost of one year at any private law school in the state. The School’s faculty brings more than 1,200 years of practical experience as attorneys and judges to the students. Nashville School of Law’s curriculum has been certified as substantially equivalent to the curriculum at an ABA-accredited law school.
The School’s curriculum is designed to prepare and empower its students for professionally rewarding and financially sustainable careers. Many of our graduates work in the public and nonprofit sectors, in business, and in other private practice settings in underserved communities across the state.

Gift of Time and Expertise
The School and its students also rely heavily on the mentorship of others in the legal community. Lawyers know that, throughout one’s career, the guidance and assistance of others is an invaluable asset. To that end, the School’s year-long Rigorous Writing Program enlists judges and attorneys from across Tennessee to assist students in preparing a 15-20 page assignment on significant legal topic.
