Yale Law School is the law school of Yale University, located in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. Established in 1824, it offers the J.D., LL.M., J.S.D. and M.S.L. degrees in law. The school's small size and prestige makes its admissions process the most selective of any law school in the... United States. Yale has consistently been ranked the number one law school in the country by U.S. News and World Report every year since the magazine began publishing law school rankings. Among other luminaries, former United States President William Howard Taft was a professor of constitutional law at Yale Law School from 1913 until he resigned to become Chief Justice of the United States in 1921. Presidents Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton earned their law degrees at Yale Law School later in the century, and the law school's Lillian Goldman Law Library has been memorialized as the meeting place of Bill and fellow student Hillary Clinton, the 67th Secretary of State.

Yale University is an American private Ivy League research university located in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701 in the Colony of Connecticut, the university is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States. Incorporated as the "Collegiate School," the institution... traces its roots to 17th-century clergymen who sought to establish a college to train clergy and political leaders for the colony. In 1718, the College was renamed "Yale College" to honor a gift from Elihu Yale, a governor of the British East India Company. In 1861, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences became the first U.S. school to award the PhD. Yale became a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900. Yale College was transformed, beginning in the 1930s, through the establishment of residential colleges: 12 now exist and two more are planned.
