Safety & Security

Brooklyn Heights is a densely populated neighborhood, where it is safe to walk around during the day and night. There is 24-7 security at the main Law School building at 250 Joralemon Street. Our largest student residence, Feil Hall, is also supported with 24-hour security.

All members of the BLS community are required to have a valid Brooklyn Law School identification card, which should be carried at all times. Brooklyn Law School ID cards are issued to entering students and all employees. Your ID card must be presented every time you enter 250 Joralemon Street, 111 Livingston Street, and Feil Hall.
