New England Law Boston is a private law school in downtown Boston's Theater District, near the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, with its main building on Stuart Street. It was founded in 1908 as the Portia School of Law by Arthur W. MacLean and was at the time the only law school in the country exclusively for women. It was reincorporated as Portia Law School in 1919, received authority to confer the LL.B. that year and the LL.M. in 1926, became the New England School of Law in 1969 when it gained ABA accreditation, and adopted the name New England Law | Boston in 2008. It offers the Juris Doctor in full-time and part-time day and evening programs and an LL.M. in American Law, with seven concentrations including immigration and intellectual property law. Blanche E. Braxton, a 1921 graduate, became the first African American woman admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1923.
