Introduction

Brooklyn Law School was founded in 1901 by William Payson Richardson and Norman Heffley.  In 1903 it became affilliated with St. Lawrence University in order to secure degree-conferring authority for its first class.  The school's affilliation with St. Lawrence University ended in 1943 when it became an independent law school.
