Law School Services
OUR APPROACH:
Navigating today’s complex landscape requires a thorough, strategic, and data-driven approach to law school strategy and operations. Understanding that many law schools operate within the broader context of a parent university, we collaborate closely with our clients to grasp their unique institutional dynamics and resource constraints.
For every project, we develop tailored, evidence-based recommendations to meet each law school’s specific needs. Our collaborative efforts have empowered law schools to launch new programs, optimize scholarship strategy, effectively manage budgets, and achieve significant improvements in their rankings.

Seton Hall University
JD Evening Program Strategy – Kennedy & Company assessed potential strategic options for the School’s struggling Evening JD program to recover enrollments. Our work included conducting a market analysis based on both secondary market data and a survey of potential future students to assess demand for, growth, and format innovation in the range of part-time and flexible programs serving working professional and non-full-time students. These market insights were complemented by a competitive analysis of traditional and alternative format JD programs for working professionals and non-full-time students. Kennedy & Company then developed a robust financial model to evaluate the most promising strategic options, which ultimately resulted in a comprehensive strategy and implementation plan for a transition of the program to a Weekend JD format.
Villanova University
Strategic Planning – Kennedy & Company partnered with Villanova’s Charles Widger School of Law to identify the strategic priorities that the School should focus on in the coming five years. In addition to setting the vision and priorities and developing a high-level plan to address them, this scope of work included the development of a high-level marketing and communication strategy to drive awareness and build the brand of Villanova across targeted market constituencies and internal audiences.
University of Texas at El Paso
Kennedy & Company partnered with the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to determine the feasibility of starting a law school.
