At New York University School of Law, an adventurous
intellectual spirit prevails. Our goal, ambitious and maybe a bit impetuous, is
to chart the future course for American legal education by developing and
refining programs of genuine excellence that encompass the strengths of the
traditional curriculum while incorporating interdisciplinary, global, and
clinical dimensions.
We are a work in progress, not a final product. But our
success to date is remarkable. The breadth of advanced interdisciplinary work
occurring at NYU School of Law is, quite simply, unmatched: thus, for example,
there is no law school in the world with our philosophical sophistication; our
faculty is on the cutting edge of work in law and economics, game theory, and
rational choice theory; we are an important center of research in legal
history; and studies in law and society are flourishing as well. The Law School's
groundbreaking Hauser Global Law School Program has placed in residence, on a
permanent basis, legal scholars and outstanding graduate students from, quite
literally, every corner of the world; no other law school has implemented a
program of this scope. And our clinical program probably needs no introduction;
its reputation as the leading program in clinical studies is seldom questioned
and well deserved.
At the same time, we have not sacrificed the advantages
of the traditional curriculum. On the contrary, the traditional curriculum at
NYU School of Law has been greatly enriched by all of this. The insights of
theory surface regularly in class discussions from basic first‑year
courses to upper‑level courses in subjects like Corporations and Constitutional
Law to advanced graduate courses in areas like Tax. Moreover, with the advent
of the Hauser Global Law School Program has come a great range of new offerings
in comparative and international law, often co‑taught by professors from
more than one nation. And, clinical education has made its way into traditional
subjects as well, with courses in Evidence, Advanced Procedure, Environmental
Law, and Professional Responsibility (to list but a few) being taught in
alternative, clinical formats.
NYU School of Law has a historic commitment to social
justice‑much of the work in interdisciplinary legal studies is devoted to
the ongoing, never‑free‑from‑controversy project of charting
the course of a good society. Global studies are an important corrective for
the tendency of thinkers and activists in any society to overvalue parochial
convention. And clinical education directly engages the enterprises of securing
justice for individuals and protecting society from harm. We take pride in
being a community of ideas, a community in which orthodoxy is challenged, and
invention is celebrated. We ask of our students that they share in and act upon
these commitments.
At the heart of any great school is its canonical
curriculum, that critical artery of primary knowledge that provides the context
for the critical reflection undertaken in all of the educational enterprise. Certain
subjects have been, for generations, the canon of American legal education. No
school that sought to be an academic leader could compromise the breadth or
quality of its offerings in these areas. This canon is, simply, the bedrock
upon which excellence in other areas must be built.
The LawSchool's most basic
commitment is to offer students an opportunity to explore law from all its
diverse angles, and to do so in an environment that is cooperative rather than
competitive. In part, this simply means providing resources and faculty, and
the NYU School of Law faculty includes men and women who work and teach in an
array of fields. But the school offers more than this. A generation ago,
interdisciplinary study meant examining law from the perspective of another
discipline. Today, it means integrating methodologies and perspectives from
more than one discipline in order to gain a multidimensional understanding of
legal problems.
NYU School of Law has pioneered the development of
tools to make interdisciplinary work genuinely enriching. Rather than just add
faculty members who work in more than one discipline, we have found ways to
create a dialogue in which students and faculty with diverse interests and
expertise work together; forcing each other to grapple with problems in novel
ways.
In these and other ways‑independent study,
seminars, joint degree programs, courses in other departments, conferences,
symposia, and more‑students are encouraged to explore the law in the ways
that interest them most, aided by faculty with related interests.
The development of interdisciplinary legal studies
manifests a recognition that the law does not exist in isolation; that it is
formed by, and it affects, other areas of intellectual endeavor. But law does
not exist in geographic or cultural isolation, either. As the social,
political, and economic systems of different nations become ever more
interconnected and interdependent, so too will their legal systems. Already, an
increasing proportion of what most lawyers do brings them into contact with
this transnational system. The globalization of law is already happening; and
judges, lawyers, and legal academics must be prepared to deal with it.
The Hauser Global Law School Program is designed to
attract faculty and students from many nations into one intellectual community,
to make NYU School of Law a "global" rather than a national law
school and, by assimilating these diverse perspectives, to both challenge the
most fundamental premises of America's legal system and prepare NYU School of
Law graduates for the global environment in which they will practice.
At the faculty level, the Hauser Global Law School
Program supplements the law school's already distinguished American faculty by
assembling some of the world's leading law professors from six continents to
teach how they think about law and learn how we do. While remaining affiliated
with their national universities, these professors have a sustained
relationship with the LawSchool. This global perspective
does not stop with the faculty. NYU School of Law also recognizes the
importance of salting the student body with the finest law students from around
the world. Last year, more than 300 full‑time students were citizens of
countries other than the UnitedStates; indeed, the law school's student
body is drawn from more than fifty different countries.
One of the most attractive features of studying law is
its applied nature. Legal studies can be as theoretical as the most academic
disciplines, but law ultimately must be anchored in the real world. One of the
most difficult challenges in studying law is learning how to bridge this gap‑how
to translate theories into principles that can be understood and used by judges
and lawyers in their everyday practice.
Situation‑based study at NYU School of Law begins
with the Lawyering course in the first year, and culminates in the upper years
in elective fieldwork clinics in which students represent actual clients under
close faculty supervision. A distinctive feature of the Law School's clinics is
that the faculty who teach them are tenured or tenure‑track professors
whose sole professional interest is the research and teaching they do at the
law school; the result is not only that the law school attracts the finest
clinical faculty but also that our students receive full attention. NYU School
of Law has the nation's premier clinical program, as well as the largest and
most diverse.
An important feature of the NYU School of Law
experience flows from our location in NewYork City, the legal and financial capital of the
world. Whether one will practice in Sydney or San Francisco, Zurich or Chicago, studying in New York is an irreplaceable experience.
This is especially the case when it can be done, as it can be done at NYU
School of Law, while living in a community as special as Greenwich Village; two‑thirds
of the Law School faculty and over 90% of its law
students live within a five minute walk of the law school. The combination of the
world's greatest city with one of the world's greatest neighborhoods creates a
truly spectacular environment for the study of any subject, but especially for
the study of law.
NYU School of Law has invested heavily in state‑of‑the‑art
technology. The result: we are fully wired with the latest equipment in our
faculty and administrators offices, student residences, classrooms, library,
and computer labs and cyber cafe. This technology does not sit idle. Faculty
has seized the possibilities for new pedagogy it provides: increasingly,
classroom activities have a technological component, whether it consists of
utilizing presentation software for lectures, downloading charts and data prepared
in advance by faculty, playing video or audio tapes, researching in real time,
monitoring current market quotes, or conducting video‑conferences. Once
class is over, classroom conversation continues not only in the law school's
lounges but also on‑line.
In each element of the curriculum‑the traditional
canon, interdisciplinary studies, global studies, and clinical studies‑NYU School of Law is a leader. It is
fair to say that no other school offers a better array of opportunities in any
of the four individual elements, and clearly no other school offers so much in
all of them.
We invite you to look closely at the NYU Law community.
Visit our campus and speak with our students. To pursue this course of study as
part of the special community of faculty and students drawn from around the
world to the singular setting of our Greenwich Village campus in New York City is to enjoy
a unique academic experience at a level unmatched anywhere.
