From Our Student Blog:

There are certain things about the New York University School of Law that everyone knows. Anyone can attest to the fusion of modern sophistication and historic charm that is characteristic of the Law School’s two main buildings. I’m sure we are all too familiar with the small but inviting courtyard in front of Vanderbilt that dutifully welcomes students, faculty members, and guests. And we know, once inside, we will be greeted by a security guard and have to flash an ID to get into the building. I can also only assume that by now most 1Ls have found the library and the school’s two cafés.
Innovative 1L year
The 1L curriculum includes the specially-designed Legislation and Regulatory State, an elective, and Lawyering.
