ABA Approved Since 1954

New York Law School is located in the historic district of TriBeCa in lower Manhattan. It is an extraordinary setting for the study of law, within walking distance of New York's largest concentration of government agencies, courts, law firms, banks, corporate headquarters, and securities exchanges. The Law School's location makes immersion in the legal and business life of NewYork City an essential part of our identity and curriculum. New YorkLaw School is a member of the Association of American Law Schools and is fully accredited by the American Bar Association and the New York State Board of Regents.

ENROLLMENT/STUDENT BODY

New York Law School reflects the cosmopolitan nature of its setting. Today's 1,450 students are diverse in their backgrounds, experiences, talents, and viewpoints. Students range in age from 21 to 65, with the average age being 26. Over the past several years, students have represented 45 of the 50 states and many foreign countries and over 340 undergraduate schools. Historically, approximately 12 percent of the student body has entered with a graduate or professional degree. Minority students account for approximately 32 percent of the student population, and approximately 51 percent of the students are women.

FACULTY

The School's required and core courses are taught by a distinguished faculty of approximately 82 dedicated teachers, recently ranked among the nations top 50 most productive faculties. The School's extensive elective offerings are taught both by full‑time professors, and more than 182 adjunct professors who are leading experts in their fields.

PHYSICAL FACILITIES AND LIBRARY

On August 1, 2006, New York Law School launched a $190 million expansion and renovation program that will transform the School's campus in lower Manhattan's TriBeCa neighborhood into a cohesive architectural complex nearly double its current size.

The centerpiece of the expansion will be a new glass‑enclosed, 235,000‑square‑foot, nine‑level building, extending five stories above ground and four below. The new building will be constructed on what was the Law School's parking lot, and will be contiguous to and integrated with the School's existing three buildings.

When completed, the new complex will bring together the School's classrooms, library, student spaces, administrative offices, and professional academic centers in a combined 370,000‑square‑foot environment compared with the 135,000 square feet of space the School occupies today. Construction of the new building is the first phase of the project. In the second phase, the School's existing buildings will be extensively renovated.

The new academic building is slated to open in the spring 2009. The second phase will be completed in spring 2010. The two phases have been meticulously planned to ensure that there is no disruption in the academic program and to minimize inconvenience to students.

The LawSchool's Mendik Law Library is housed in beautifully renovated space across the street from the main campus while its new building is under construction. The Mendik Library is fully functional with access to its collection of more than 500,000 volumes of books, microforms, audio/visual materials, and computer programs. The legal research resources include materials from international, federal, state and local New York jurisdictions. The Library's superb collection is augmented by a sophisticated range of computer research services and other technological enhancements. The temporary facility contains study carrels and tables, lounge seating, and a large number of meeting rooms for student study groups.

The online public access catalog, automated acquisitions, serials, and circulation control systems provide easy and comprehensive access to the Library's collection. To maximize the range of materials and facilities available to students and faculty, the Library has joined several library consortia. As a member of the Consortium of Metropolitan Area Law Schools and the New York Metropolitan Reference and Research Library Agency (METRO), the library can arrange access to other research and academic libraries within the New York Metropolitan area. Through the JILP, the Joint International Law Project, NewYork Law School provides its students access to a unified research collection of international and comparative law materials. Using the bibliographic databases of OCLC and RLIN, librarians can locate and arrange for the interlibrary loan of materials from academic, court, public, and private libraries throughout New York and the United States.

Terminals dedicated to LEXIS/NEXIS and WESTLAW allow students and faculty to conduct unrestricted computer‑assisted legal research. Access is also available to the Internet, Dialog, and the Dow Jones New Service databases. In addition, the Library subscribes to over 30 electronic research products, including HeinOnline, Index to Legal Periodicals, LexisNexis Congressional, Index to United Nations Documents and Treaties, and JSTOR.

CURRICULUM AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS

New York Law School's curriculum systematically integrates theory and practice. The traditional study of legal doctrine and institutions is always measured against the perspectives of legal practitioners. Fusing classroom and real‑world perspectives gives the LawSchool's graduates an extraordinarily rich and strong basis on which to build a productive, responsible, and rewarding life in the profession. The Law School offers a full‑time day program, and a part‑time evening program. Full‑time students usually complete the 86 credits required for the Juris Doctor in three years; part‑time students in four years. The required curriculum comprises the entire first year and part of the second year, providing a foundation in legal reasoning and in areas of law that are considered the indispensable building blocks of a legal education. In the second year and thereafter, students may customize their programs by selecting from over 250 elective courses. Students are also offered the opportunity to participate in more than 30 student organizations, in addition to Moot Court and Law Review.

Academic Centers

Each of the School's eight academic centers allows students to focus their studies on a specialized area of Law.

Center on Business Law & Policy

The Center on Business Law & Policy is designed to provide students an enriched educational experience in the business, securities, and commercial law areas and train them to excel as planners and counselors in general advising, litigation, and especially, deal‑making situations where businesses and other commercial entities are clients. Center graduates will have a firm grounding in the fundamentals needed to enter business‑oriented law firms, law departments in corporations, investment banks, financial services and brokerage firms, institutional investors, as well as regulators and other commercially oriented governmental offices, and will be exposed to the areas of law that are relevant to these types of practices.

Center on Financial Services Law

The Center on Financial Services Law will begin offering programs in fall 2008. The Center's long‑range plan includes developing job opportunities in the financial services industry for students and alumni, providing a forum for discussing regulatory reforms, and creating new educational programs for industry legal and business professionals.

Center for International Law

Established in 1996, the Center for International Law supports teaching and research in all areas of international law but concentrates on the law of international trade and finance, deriving much of its strength from interaction with NewYork's business, commercial, financial, and legal communities.

Center for NewYork City Law

Established in 1993, the Center for New York City Law is the only program of its kind in the country. Its objectives are to gather and disseminate information about NewYork City's laws, rules, and procedures; to sponsor publications, symposia, and conferences on topics related to governing the city; and to suggest reforms to make city government more effective and efficient. The Center produces several publications, including CityLaw, which tracks New York City's rules and regulations, how they are enforced, and court challenges to them; and CityLand, which reports decisions from the NewYork City land use agencies.

Center for Professional Values and Practice

The LawSchool's Center for Professional Values and Practice provides a vehicle through which to examine the role of the legal profession and approaches to law practice. The Center's work supports the development of lawyering skills and reflective professionalism, including consideration of how these have evolved over the decades, even as business and ethical pressures have intensified and become more complex, and the roles of lawyers in society have multiplied.

Center for Real Estate Studies

The Center for Real Estate Studies provides students with a unique educational opportunity to study both the private practice and public regulation of real estate. Launched in 2007, the Center offers an extensive selection of classroom courses, advanced seminars, and independent study projects, as well as externships in governmental offices and real estate firms. It also sponsors conferences, symposia, and continuing legal education programs on a broad spectrum of issues. The Center aims to help bridge the existing gap between the private practice and academic study of real estate, and will become one of the premier research centers in the country for the study of real estate.

Institute for Information Law & Policy

Established in 2003, the Institute for Information Law and Policy is New YorkLaw School's home for the study of information, communications, and law in the global digital age. The goal of the Institute is to apply the theory and technology of communications and information to strengthening democratic institutions and the rule of law as technology evolves. Through its curriculum, ongoing conference and speaker series, and a variety of original projects, the Institute investigates the emerging field of information law, which encompasses intellectual property, privacy, free speech, information access, communications, and all areas of law pertaining to information and communications practices.

Justice Action Center

The Justice Action Center brings together New YorkLaw School faculty and students in an ongoing critical evaluation of public interest lawyering. Through scholarship and fieldwork, the Center seeks to evaluate the efficacy of law as an agent of change and social betterment, particularly in the fields of anti‑discrimination law and economic justice, civil liberties, criminal law and death penalty, environmental law, family law, immigration law, labor and employment law, and mental disability law. In addition to availing themselves of a focused curriculum, symposia, and research opportunities, students can gain direct exposure to the field of cause lawyering through externships, clinics, and workshops.

Graduate Programs

Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation

In 2003, the Law School began offering the Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation, becoming one of the only law schools in the New York City area to offer his advanced training to tax attorneys. The program enables students to increase their mastery of tax law and refine their practice skills in order to better serve clients and communities.

Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Real Estate

Beginning in the spring 2009 semester, New York Law School will offer a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Real Estate. The program provides students with a thorough grounding in the law, business, and regulation of real estate transactions, finance, and development.

Online Mental Disability Law Program

The School's Online Mental Disability Law Program is offered to professional who work with, or on behalf of, people with disabilities. It is the only program of its kind offered by an ABA‑approved law school. Each of the 14‑week courses is delivered to students though the convenience of distance education. The program offers a Certificate in Advanced Mental Disability Law Studies and will offer a Master of Arts degree in Mental Disability Law Studies beginning in spring 2009.

Additional Distinctive Programs

Lawyering Skills Center

The Lawyering Skills Center was established in 1991 to bring under on heading all of the New York Law School clinical and skills courses: clinics where students represent or work with actual clients under the direct supervision of full‑time faculty or attorneys; externships where students are placed in the offices of practicing attorneys or in judicial chambers; and simulation courses where students interact with actors or others in a variety of lawyering situations. Since 1991, all of these forms of experiential learning have increased significantly and are now an integral part of the New York Law School curriculum.

Labor & Employment Law Program

Ever since New York Law School alumnus Senator Robert F. Wagner, Class of 1903 ‑ the "legislative pilot of the New Deal" ‑ wrote and led the fight to enact the National Labor Relations Act, New York Law School has remained on the cutting edge of labor and employment law and public policy. In the tradition of Senator Wagner, New York Law School's Labor & Employment Law Program is part of the Justice Action Center seeks to advance and influence law and public policy with an action‑oriented, public‑interested agenda.

Media Center

The MediaCenter, one of the oldest and most extensive programs of its kind, was established in 1977 in response to the explosive growth of communication technologies. The Center continues to promote education, discussion, research, and writing about mass‑communications law. The faculty offers a substantial number of related courses and extracurricular programs dealing with issues such as cable television franchising procedures, direct broadcast satellites, videotext services, racial discrimination in television, and the future of public broadcasting.

Program in Law & Journalism

The Program in Law & Journalism is home to the study of the relationship between and among law, lawyers, the media, and the public. The Program hosts seminars, panels, and colloquia for practicing journalists on legal issues raised by newsgathering activities, for lawyers on the ethics and practicalities of dealing with the media, for academics on issues at the intersection of law and journalism, and for the general public on the role of lawyers in media and the influence of the media on lawyering.

In addition to these academic centers and projects, new initiatives will draw on New YorkLaw School's traditions and strengths in the areas of civil liberties and human rights, immigration law, sexual orientation law, and litigation. Other programs, such as the Public Interest and Community Service project, link students and faculty as volunteers to assist individuals and institutions throughout the metropolitan area.

Moot Court

The student‑run Moot Court Association participates in intermural competitions and hosts the prestigious Wagner Labor and Employment Law Competition, which annually attracts more than 30 schools as competitors, and draws distinguished jurists.

Law Review

The New York Law School Law Review is a scholarly journal that is edited and published four times a year by students at New York Law School with the assistance of a faculty publisher. The Law Review publishes articles by faculty authors, as well as notes, comments, and book reviews written by students, in many areas of legal scholarship. It serves the academic community as well as practicing attorneys, judges, and students. Students are selected for membership in the Law Review as well as the John Marshall Harlan Honors Scholars program based on first‑year grades. Some students may also be invited to join the Law Review only through a writing competition held in the summer or based on their combined first‑ and second‑year grades. Participation in the Law Review involves a serious commitment of time and energy. In return, it develops research, writing, and analytical skills that enhance the students' legal education.

ADMISSIONS, FINANCIAL AID, AND CAREER SERVICES

New York Law School welcomes your application and seeks to make every effort to ensure that the application process is as straightforward as possible. In 2003, the Law School adopted a flat‑rate tuition to guarantee students the same tuition rate throughout their period of enrollment. By giving students one tuition price, flat for their entire time in school, New York Law School can help students with their financial planning by eliminating the uncertainties that come with annual tuition increases. The flat tuition rate also helps assure students that their financial aid package will retain its value. The Law School's policy is to admit students without regard to their financial means and to assist in securing financial aid to enable any admitted applicant to enroll. In addition to merit scholarship awards, the School's financial aid program provides assistance to students who demonstrate financial need according to the policies established by the federal and state governments. The Career Services staff at New YorkLaw School is committed to increasing career opportunities for students and graduates by an extensive outreach through well‑established networks reaching into all segments of the legal community. The staff includes attorneys and counseling professionals. In career training programs, the counseling staff of the Office of Career Services provides the information, skills, and tools necessary for conducting a successful job search and planning a rewarding and satisfying career.
