Columbia LawSchool has a long and distinctive history.
The Law School was officially founded in 1858.
Over the years, the LawSchoolâ??s high standards
of excellence have attracted exceptional students who have gone on to become
respected lawyers, professors and judges. The distinguished faculty maintains a
vigorous academic environment. The full-time faculty, which is responsible for
the vast bulk of the teaching, consists of nationally known lawyers and scholars.
Columbia
professors publish widely in academic journals and their comments on the law
appear regularly in the nationâ??s media. Many of the faculty participate in
public interest activities and are active in legal education organizations. Columbiaâ??s location in New York City enables it to draw on
outstanding legal practitioners to teach advanced seminars in cutting-edge
practice areas.
At the
heart of the ColumbiaLaw School
education is the foundation curriculum. The teaching of the rules of law, which
change rapidly in our constantly evolving society, is secondary to providing
students with the intellectual tools and practical skills necessary to practice
law in the 21st century. The predominant teaching method for foundation courses
is the discussion method.
The
elective curriculum is rich and varied. In the Clinical Education Program, for
example, students gain real-life legal experience by working on actual cases. Students interview, investigate, develop a strategy, counsel
and negotiate for their clients in a variety of legal forums including
administrative agencies and the courts. The clinics also do an array of
transactional and strategic work - - such as business planning, human rights
initiatives and building web - based content for the state court system. The
clinical offerings include such important topics as Sexuality and Gender Law,
Human Rights, Mediation, Not-for-Profit and Small Business Enterprises,
Lawyering in the Digital Age, and Child Advocacy, as well as Environmental Law.
To help
students understand the business problems they may face as practicing
attorneys, the LawSchool has created The
Deals course. It provides a unique opportunity to study the underlying economic
drive behind todayâ??s complex business transactions and the laws of designing
transactions. The class is broken down into groups and each group is given a
large stack of documents from an actual transaction. Students are asked to
identify and discuss the economic problems in the documents and the solutions
the parties used. Then in the next class session, the expert practitioner who
spearheaded the deal comes in to explain what really happened.
The library
is a tremendous resource for students. The materials can be used to trace
worldwide development of law from ancient China
and the Roman Empire through medieval canon
and secular law to modern civil and common law. A staff of specially-trained
librarians assists researchers and instructs students on the use of research
tools. All of the Law Libraryâ??s holdings are electronically cataloged and
searchable by dedicated terminals in the library - as well as through the Law Schoolâ??s
network, or through the Internet. Digital subscriptions include LexisNexis,
Westlaw, BNA, Bloomberg, and a wide range of foreign legal databases. There is also
an extraordinary rare book collection. Columbiaâ??s
location in New York City provides unparalleled
opportunities for research and the LawSchool maintains
connections with many institutions. Additionally, student computer access and
support is maintained by the LawSchoolâ??s Information
Technology Department, one of the largest and most sophisticated law school IT
units in the country.
Columbiaâ??s tradition of academic excellence
continues to strengthen. One of the most highly selective law schools in the
country, the Law School last year received 7,292
applications for 1,157 places, accepting only 15.8 percent. For the 2007 entering
Class, the median LSAT was 172 and the median UGPA was 3.70. Columbiaâ??s student body is distinguished
further by a remarkable range of backgrounds and life experiences. Current law
students hail from over 200 undergraduatesâ?? colleges, 48 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico,
and 34 foreign countries. Columbia is one of the
most culturally diverse law schools with the highest percentage of
international students, with one of the highest percentages of students of
color, with approximately 45 percent of its student body women and two-thirds
coming to Columbia
with prior professional and advanced academic experience across a broad range
of disciplines. Columbia
remains committed to the principle that admissions decisions are made without
regard to an applicantâ??s financial need. An extensive financial aid program
helps fulfill that commitment.
The Office
of Career Services provides a full range of counseling services to both
students and graduates. The office assists with interviews, maintains a
comprehensive database on major employers and provides extensive group and
individual counseling. It also brings to campus employers in whom students have
expressed an interest. More than 800 employers (90% of which are law firms)
visit the school yearly. 99% of the Class of 2006 were
employed by graduation. The median overall starting salary for the Class of
2006, for all types of employment, was $145,000.
Columbia is dedicated to the proposition that
law is a profession that serves the public interest. The Center for Public
Interest Law (CPIL) cultivates student interest in public service law by presenting
lectures and panels on a variety of public interest issues, providing career
counseling for all interested law students, and promoting the placement of
students in public service jobs across the private, government and
non-for-profit sectors. CPIL facilitates Columbia LawSchoolâ??s mandatory pro
bono service program, which requires all students to complete forty hours of
law-related public interest work before they graduate. Additionally, CPIL
counsels students on obtaining post-graduate fellowships, and offers guaranteed
summer funding stipends to all JD students who pursue public interest
internships. CPIL also manages Columbiaâ??s
flagship program which sends students all over the world to practice
international human rights law, on an array of topics including international
criminal law, transitional justice and issues in post-genocide regions, global
labor rights, immigration and refugee rights, and a variety of other human
rights topics.
There are
14 student-edited journals published, which include the Columbia Law Review,
Human Rights Law Review, American Review of International Arbitration, Journal
of Asian Law, Journal of Transnational Law, Journal of Law and Social Problems,
Journal of Gender and Law, the Business Law Review, The National Black Law
Journal and Journal of Environmental Law, Journal of European Law, Journal
of East European Law, Journal of Law &the Arts, Science and Technology Law
Review. And the Dean of Students Office is responsible for the numerous
extracurricular activities at the LawSchool. Organizations
devoted to social, political and intellectual interests, include, among many
others, the Black Law Students Association, Christian Legal Fellowship, The
Federalist Society, Environmental Law Society, the Older and Wiser Law Students
Association (OWLS), Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, Latin
American Law Students Association, Native American Law Students Association,
South Asian law Students Association, Arab Law Students Association, Jewish Law
Students Association, Entertainment Sports Law Society, Public Interest Law
Foundation, and Domestic Violence Project.
The
technological services at ColumbiaLaw School
are second to none and are in a constant state of change, to meet the
ever-changing requirements of our community. The systems at Columbia LawSchool allow students to
learn and are designed to be stable and easy to use. We understand the learning
environment is no longer confined to a classroom, a building, or to a few hours
a day. Students connect from all over the world, through various devices, and
at all hours of the day. We acknowledge this need by offering a vast array of
web-based services, that can be accessed anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.
This includes online registration tools, course web pages, network storage, and
much more.
The
services are supported by a robust and reliable network of wired and wireless
classrooms. Almost every classroom is wireless and/or wired, and most of the
public spaces are wireless. We understand students may connect to resources
with their laptops, or decide to use on-campus computers. There are lab
computers and email kiosks dedicated for student use. The computers are conveniently
located throughout the LawSchool campus and many of
them are accessible 24 hours a day. The computers are networked, with access to
file storage space and networked printers. The file storage space is backed up
every night and the printers are high-speed laser printers.
