The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law is a dynamic
institution that provides a challenging and stimulating intellectual
experience, a rigorous foundation in fundamental legal concepts, exposure to
the knotty and concrete problems encountered by practicing lawyers, and an
opportunity for students with widely different substantive and professional
interests to pursue studies they consider important.
Cardozo's outstanding faculty is drawn from the leading
ranks of America's
legal scholars and practitioners. Over half hold advanced degrees in areas
other than law, bringing added dimensions to the quality of learning. Objective
studies of productivity and influence generally place the Cardozo faculty within
the top 15‑30 law school faculties in the country. Cardozo has one of the
top six programs in both Intellectual Property, and Dispute Resolution.
Cardozo's student body numbers approximately 1,100,
with roughly the same number of men and women. They come from a broad distribution
of undergraduate schools, disciplines, and interests from over 36 states.
Approximately 21% of the students come from minority groups and 14% graduated 5
or more years ago.
Cardozo offers a unique approach to the study of law: a
balance of a scholarly exploration of the philosophical underpinnings of legal,
social, and economic structures and professional training in the doctrinal
knowledge and practice skills needed to effectively practice law. The Jacob
Burns Institute for Advanced Legal Studies supports advanced academic
research, major symposia, and student scholarships. The Samuel and Ronnie
Heyman Center on Corporate Governance sponsors major conferences and
research in the area of corporate and business law, and the role of
corporations and corporate managers in our society. The Floersheimer Center
for Constitutional Democracy focuses on comparative constitutionalism and
new democracies.
In the New York City Law Department Appellate
Externship Program, students work in the Appeals Unit of the New York City
Department of Law under the supervision of an appellate attorney and an
instructor. Under the Alexander Judicial Fellows Program, students have
the opportunity to clerk full‑time for one semester for a federal judge.
Cardozo offers summer programs in Central
European University
in Budapest, and Oxford
University in Great Britain.
Cardozo's clinics provide students with substantive
practical experience to augment the theoretical training that occurs in the
classroom. Cardozo's Securities Arbitration Clinic provides assistance
to investors who have securities arbitration grievances against brokers and
broker‑dealers. Under faculty supervision, law students represent
investors in their disputes. The one‑semester Human Rights and
Genocide Clinic introduces students to the practice of law in the cross‑cultural
setting of international human rights litigation and advocacy. In the area of
criminal law, students may participate in the Criminal Defense Law Clinic,
the Criminal Appeals Clinic, The Innocence Project, or the Prosecutor
Practicum. Students selected for the Criminal Defense Law Clinic do
field work in the Brooklyn Criminal Court, representing the criminally accused.
The Criminal Appeals Clinic allows students to represent indigent
appellants before the First Department of the Appellate Division of the New
York State Supreme Court. Students in The Innocence Project help wrongfully‑convicted
persons to gain freedom through DNA evidence. Prosecutor Practicum
participants work in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, performing many
of the functions of an assistant district attorney, under the supervision of an
instructor and a senior assistant district attorney. The Intensive Trial
Advocacy Program brings to the campus 175 trial lawyers and judges from
around the US
for a two‑week program of hands‑on trial practice.
Cardozo's Bet Tzedek Legal Services Clinic
advocates on behalf of poor, homebound elderly and people with disabilities.
The Mediation Clinic provides arbitration and mediation experience in
situations involving personal and social conflict. The Tax Clinic is an
innovative program that provides students with practical experience in tax law
by representing taxpayers in cases pending before the United States Tax Court.
There is also an Immigration Clinic and Holocaust Claims Restitution
Clinic.
Cardozo sponsors a Moot Court Honor Society, one
faculty journal, and six student publications. The Law Review; Arts and
Entertainment Law Journal; Journal of International and Comparative Law; The
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal; Journal of Conflict
Resolution; and the Journal of Law and Gender (formerly the Women's
Annotated Legal Bibliography, the first annotated bibliography of legal
commentary on women's issues) select students on the basis of scholarship and
writing ability. Studies in Law and Literature is a professional
journal, edited by a senior member of the faculty, co‑published by U of C
Press and guided by a distinguished board of editors. Students have the
opportunity also to work on The New York Real Estate Reporter, a faculty
newsletter.
The J.D. program, requiring 84 credits, consists of six
full‑time semesters of study. First‑year students take a series of
basic, prescribed courses; second‑ and third‑year programs are
elective, with the exception of distribution requirements and required courses
in professional responsibility, upper level legal writing, and advanced legal
research. An LL.M. degree is offered in Intellectual Property, General Studies,
and Comparative Legal Thought.
Cardozo offers the Alternative Entry Plan (AEP), which
allows students to begin their studies in either January or May. Students beginning
in January complete two semesters by the end of the summer and complete the six
semesters in two‑and‑one‑half years. Students beginning in
May complete one semester during the summer and then continue in the fall. AEP
classes are small and provide the same depth of legal training as the
traditional program.
Cardozo is on 11 floors of the Brookdale
Center located in GreenwichVillage. The Dr. Lillian and Dr. Rebecca Chutick Law Library
occupies four floors containing over 539,391 volumes and is fully equipped with
networked computers and microform reader‑printers. A residence hall is
located one block away, on 11thStreet.
Established in 1976, Cardozo is accredited by both the ABA and AALS. It holds a
charter from the Order of the Coif.
