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 following the death of the designated professor.
