Overview Paragraph

The Bronx School for Law, Government and Justice (LGJ) is an educational community that believes learning is a product of thinking. Students are engaged in “hands-on, minds-on” learning in their core classes, as well as through the law curriculum, mentoring, internships, advisory, and extracurricular activities. LGJ is unique in that students have the opportunity to experience our stand-alone law curriculum while sharing a campus with the Bronx Court complex.
