Realizing a Global Vision
NYU Law's global programs are unsurpassed in range, quality, and vision. For this we are deeply indebted to the long term support of Rita Hauser and the much-missed Gustave Hauser LLM '57 and Hon. Frank Guarini ’50, LLM ’55. NYU’s unique Hauser Global Law School Program, established in 1995, brings to our Washington Square community: the Hauser Global Scholars (LLM), Global Fellows, Global Faculty, and Distinguished Global Fellows. It has had a profound impact on legal education. The Guarini Institute for Global Legal Studies, founded in 2018, extends and raises to a new level the international law programs that have long made the Law School a leader in global legal innovation. It facilitates student experience in NYU Law Abroad, integrates the scholarship of the Law School’s Global and International faculty and fellows, and sponsors the interdisciplinary Guarini Global Law & Tech. Benedict Kingsbury is the Vice Dean for Global Programs and Kevin Davis is the Faculty Director of the Hauser Global Law School Program.
My NYU Law
Alex Nehrbass ’25
“NYU Law has been the perfect place to explore international law while immersed in one of the world’s most cosmopolitan and culturally diverse cities.”
I was born in New York City to a Russian mother and German father who’d only recently immigrated to the US, and we moved to Paris for their jobs when I was just under two years old. We later moved to Seoul, South Korea for a three-year stint, and finally to Massachusetts when I was 12.... [I went back] to Paris as part of the NYU Law Abroad program, giving me an opportunity to reconnect with another city that has always been an important part of my life.
I’ve had some of the best food of my life in Astoria, and am always amazed by how diverse this part of town is. Since I am half Russian, it’s also an incredibly special feeling to spend a day in Brighton Beach, speaking my mother tongue and going to restaurants that serve up the dishes my mom used to make for us growing up.
