2026 JD Orientation

Washington Square Park

Welcome to NYU School of Law! We are excited to have you join our community.

JD Orientation will begin on Wednesday, August 19. Please note that JD Orientation is mandatory and attendance will be taken. 

**UPDATE: Room Assignments

Due to the size of the incoming JD class, not all students will be seated in Tishman Auditorium. Two Lawyering sections have been randomly assigned to Vanderbilt Hall, Room 204 each day as a designated overflow room. Students assigned to Room 204 will participate in the program via livestream. Please click on the Orientation Schedule link to see which Lawyering Sections have been assigned for each day.
