Roger Williams University School of Law Named to ‘Best Law Schools for 2025' by The Princeton Review
BRISTOL, R.I., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Roger Williams University School of Law (RWU Law) is again being recognized among the nation's leading law schools, earning a place on The Princeton Review's Best Law Schools for 2025. The honor reflects RWU Law's commitment to academic excellence, faculty accessibility, and a student experience rooted in real-world preparation and purpose-driven legal education.
RWU Law was selected among 168 ABA-accredited law schools based on survey data from 19,600 students enrolled in the schools over the past three years and administrators across 197 institutions. The list is presented as an unranked collection of schools that offer an exceptional legal education.
'I'm thrilled that we've been recognized for the quality of our programs and the strength of our excellent law faculty, but what makes this honor truly meaningful is that it comes directly from our students,' said RWU School of Law Dean Gregory W. Bowman. 'In our students' comments about RWU Law, I see reflections of the work we do with them every day to train the next generation of legal changemakers. We are proud to provide our students with high-quality and affordable training and real-world practice skills, and we can't wait to see what they do next.'
In its profile of Roger Williams University School of Law, the influential college guide noted the school's 'stellar faculty and strong academics,' along with its welcoming, close-knit community. One student shared that 'everybody knows your name – whether it's a librarian, your professor, or the dean.' Students praised the school's 'innovative and creative' curriculum, focus on 'conscious lawyering,' and individualized support from professors who 'truly understand your idea of law.' The program's guaranteed hands-on experiences through clinics and externships, as well as its 'very public interest oriented' mission, were also cited as key strengths.
RWU Law offers a wide range of academic and experiential learning opportunities, including dual-degree options such as the JD/Master of Marine Affairs in partnership with the University of Rhode Island, and externships with organizations such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Its Feinstein Center for Pro Bono & Experiential Education and Marine Affairs Institute provide robust pathways for students to explore careers in public interest, environmental, and ocean and coastal law.
The law school was also featured on The Princeton Review's 2022 list, where it earned national recognition for its faculty, ranking sixth in the country for professor accessibility and 12th for quality of teaching.
As the only law school in Rhode Island, Roger Williams University School of Law remains dedicated to serving both the state and region by graduating practice-ready lawyers who are committed to equity, service, and leadership.

Woman Tells MIL She Can't Buy Stepson a Tablet—Nobody Prepared for Response
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mother-in-law has been slammed online for her response to being told that she couldn't buy a tablet for her autistic grandson. In a post on Reddit, u/bbywace turned to the r/AmIOverreacting subreddit to ask: "Am I overreacting?" Newsweek reached out to u/bbywace via Reddit. A strict and anxious mature mother-in-law lectures her grown daughter, left, on the sofa at home. A strict and anxious mature mother-in-law lectures her grown daughter, left, on the sofa at home. fizkes The original poster shared screenshots of the exchange that began at 7:47 a.m. with a text from the mother-in-law asking if she could buy another Amazon Fire tablet for her grandson, referred to in the post as "Green." The timing and content caught the poster off guard, given their prior conversations about how tablet use significantly increased Green's screaming—already a major challenge in their household. "I'd prefer if he doesn't have it, it causes him to scream a lot more," the poster responded, adding, "but it's up to you. I won't be mad lol [laugh out loud]." The mother-in-law's tone quickly shifted. "I'm just trying to stay a part of his life but I can tell I'm getting push back and rejection," she wrote, eventually concluding: "I guess it's better I stay away and wash my hands." The poster replied: "Nobody is rejecting or pushing you back, we just don't want him having things that cause him to scream … You are welcome to call him on my iPad, anytime we have him … Buying things for him does not equate to being a part of his life." The mother-in-law's final response read: "No worries. No lectures needed … I would not want to disrupt everyone's life/time with screaming." In her Reddit post, the poster provided important context. Green, her nonverbal stepson, has level 3 autism and is currently being reenrolled in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy—something she says has intensified his behaviors. The family had already determined that screen time, especially on tablets, was a significant trigger. "If you don't know what it's like to sit in a small house with someone screaming at the top of their lungs every 2 minutes as is, I'm jealous," the poster wrote. She added that, after the mother-in-law previously brought a secondhand tablet to a birthday party—despite being told screen time worsened Green's symptoms—her husband informed his mother that the device hadn't been given to him due to its performance issues. The final straw for the poster was the mother-in-law's sudden outreach after a month of no contact, timed during a chaotic Monday morning as she scrambled to get two kids ready for therapy appointments. "She hasn't tried to talk to either kid since," the poster added, adding that the mother-in-law had continued to interact with her on social media "like nothing happened." At the time of writing, the post has sparked hundreds of supportive comments, with many other users calling out the mother-in-law for being manipulative. "It's crazy to me you're even allowing her around him still after that—that's grounds for no contact," one user wrote. "I have relatives like this. Trust me, they don't recognize they are doing something wrong. Here is where they begin to martyr themselves because they're 'just trying to do something nice', and they just. don't. Understand. why they are being 'pushed aside'" another added. Others also empathized with the challenges of raising a neurodivergent child and the emotional labor of managing in-law dynamics. "You're not overreacting; she's making it about herself and not what is actually helpful for the children or your family," a third user commented. For the stepmom, it is not about cutting someone off—it's about setting necessary boundaries in a high-stress, high-needs environment. "I decided after her visit to our state for my son's first birthday I was done reaching out to her to push a relationship," the poster wrote.

Republicans target the CBO as part of a larger offensive against independent obstacles
The American Bar Association, which has scrutinized federal judicial nominations since 1948, determined that many of Donald Trump's picks were unqualified for the bench. Given that feedback, the White House had a decision to make: The president and his team could choose better nominees; they could encourage senators to ignore the ABA's independent assessments; or they could cut off ABA detailed access to judicial nominees' records. Last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi chose Door #3, slamming the American Bar Association for making assessments the White House didn't like and cutting off the ABA's access to nonpublic information about would-be jurists. Around the same time, the Trump administration also signaled that it was dissatisfied with the nation's leading medical journals for publishing scientific findings the White House also didn't like, reportedly leading the Department of Veterans Affairs to order scientists not to publish in journals without approval from presidential appointees. While these stories are notable in their own right, together they reflect a larger offensive against entities that many Republicans see as independent obstacles. But to fully appreciate the scope of the offensive, consider the partisan campaign against the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Reminded of the CBO's recent analysis of the Republicans' domestic policy megabill, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that 'the Congressional Budget Office has been historically wrong,' adding, 'I don't think many people know this, there hasn't been a single staffer in the entire Congressional Budget Office that has contributed to a Republican since the year 2000.' A Washington Post fact-check report gave Leavitt's claim the dreaded 'Four Pinocchios,' while noting, '[T]he White House's campaign against the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan agency that vets the cost of major legislation, is veering into the ridiculous.' That's an easy assessment to agree with. The CBO's current director worked in George W. Bush's Treasury Department, has donated to Republican candidates and, perhaps most importantly, was chosen for his current position by Republican lawmakers. The idea that he's overseeing some left-wing operation hellbent on tarnishing GOP proposals is plainly silly. As for the idea that CBO scores have 'historically' been 'wrong,' the office's track record on forecasting future budget deficits has been pretty impressive in recent years. And yet the Republican offensive against the CBO and its credibility has been relentless as the party has tried desperately to advance its inaptly named 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent helping to lead the charge with claims that have immediately collapsed under scrutiny. Even the president himself joined the pile-on last week, claiming that the CBO is 'inspired' and 'controlled' by Democrats, which is plainly false. To bolster his point, Trump pointed to a recent CBO report on economic growth forecasts that was not, in reality, released by the CBO. (Trump apparently confused the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation.) If recent history is any guide, these partisan tactics won't end anytime soon. But for the public, the fact that too many Republicans see independent sources of information as obstacles worthy of attack speaks volumes about the quality of the party's ideas.
