New York Law School (NYLS) is a private, American law school in the Tribeca neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. The third oldest law school in New York City, its history predates its official founding in 1891 by Theodore Dwight: Dwight founded Columbia Law School in 1858 when he became its first and only professor. Nationwide, NYLS is the 50th oldest among 197 American Bar Association-accredited law schools.

NYLS is the only law school founded in New York City between the end of the U.S. Civil War and the 1898 consolidation of all five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island) into the City of Greater New York.

The first president of NYLS's Board of Trustees was John Bigelow, who had served as the American Consul in Paris under President Abraham Lincoln and played a crucial role in blocking France and the United Kingdom from intervening on behalf of the Confederacy.

Over the course of 33 years prior to founding NYLS, Dwight had taught thousands of lawyers at Columbia, including the founders of Shearman & Sterling, Sullivan & Cromwell, and Simpson Thatcher, as well as Columbia Law School's first African-American student, George Henry Schanck.[7]

NYLS has a full-time day program and, since 1894, a part-time evening program. Its faculty includes more than 50 full-time and over 100 adjunct professors. Notable faculty members have included Woodrow Wilson, Annette Gordon-Reed, Charles Evans Hughes, William Kunstler, Edward A. Purcell Jr., Nadine Strossen, Beth Simone Novek, Penelope Andrews, Lenni Benson, founder of the Safe Passage Project, Michael L. Perlin, Carlin Meyer, Chen Lung-chu, and Robert Blecker.

NYLS has produced more NYC Mayors than any other law school, including the son of Civil War General George B. McClellan, George B. McClellan Jr.; John Purroy Mitchel; John Francis Hylan; and Jimmy Walker.

Prominent NYLS alumni include Robert F. Wagner, James S. Watson, Maurice R. Greenberg, former chairman and CEO of American International Group Inc. and current chairman and CEO of C.V. Starr and Co. Inc.; Charles E. Phillips Jr., former CEO of Infor and former President of Oracle; and Judith "Judge Judy" Sheindlin, New York family court judge, author, and television personality. Other past graduates include Wallace Stevens, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, Elmer Rice, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, and United States Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan II.

## History

[edit]

### Early years

[edit]

Theodore William Dwight, Founder of New York Law School and Columbia Law School

During the winter of 1890, in a nation still reeling from the aftermath of the U.S. Civil War, the end of the Reconstruction era, and mired in a debate about the type of work African-Americans were "naturally" suited for, a dispute arose at Columbia Law School over an attempt by Columbia University president Seth Low, whose father had amassed a fortune exploiting people of color by smuggling opium into China, [8] to introduce the Case Method of study. The Case Method had been pioneered at Harvard Law School by Christopher Columbus Langdell, who opposed educating women in the practice of law.[9]

Theodore Dwight opposed the case method. Therefore, he and most of Columbia Law School's faculty and students departed Columbia Law School in protest to found NYLS the following year because they believed Columbia, by introducing the case method, had moved away from moral engagement and toward abstraction, hierarchy, and exclusivity.

Ironically, Dwight was succeeded at Columbia by William Albert Keener. Keener, a carpenter's son, a Southerner from Augusta, Georgia, who was born before the outbreak of the Civil War and enjoyed access to education denied African-Americans in the Antebellum South, happily implemented Low's agenda so he could remain in New York.

On June 11, 1891, New York Law School was chartered by the State of New York, and the school began operation shortly thereafter. By this time, Theodore Dwight was in poor health and was not able to be actively involved with the law school, so the position of dean went to one of the other professors from Columbia Law School, George Chase. New York Law School held its first classes on October 1, 1891, in the Equitable Building at 120 Broadway, in Lower Manhattan's Financial District.[10]

In 1892, after only a year in operation, it was the second-largest law school in the United States. Steady increases in enrollment caused the law school to acquire new facilities in 1899, at 35 Nassau Street,[11] only blocks away from the law school's previous location; and by 1904, the law school had become the largest law school in the United States. Continuous growth led the law school to acquire a building of its own in 1908, at 172 Fulton Street, in the Financial District. New York Law School would remain at this site until 1918, when it closed briefly for World War I.[12]

### Persecution by Columbia Law School

[edit]

In 1897, furious about the fact that Dwight resigned from Columbia, taking the entire faculty with him save for one professor, and jealous of New York Law School's success (New York Law School had 617 students, compared to 361 at Columbia), Columbia Law School lobbied the New York State Assembly to oppose New York Law School's effort to obtain a charter to confer law degrees by its own examination -- a privilege all other law schools throughout New York State already enjoyed.

### Interwar period

[edit]

When New York Law School reopened in 1919, it was located in another building at 215 West 23rd Street, in Midtown.[14] However, George Chase contracted an illness that resulted in him running New York Law School for the last three years of his life from his bed; he died in 1924.[15] New York Law School continued without Chase, seeing its enrollment peak in the mid-1920s, but it saw a steady decline at the onset of the Great Depression. The law school began seeing a serious decline in enrollment. The law school moved to smaller facilities at 253 Broadway, just opposite City Hall.[16] In 1936, the law school moved to another location at 63 Park Row, on the opposite side of City Hall Park; it also became coeducational that same year. However, the military draft, which started in 1940, contributed to further declines in enrollment, and the school closed in 1941. The remaining students who were still enrolled finished their studies at St. John's University School of Law, in Brooklyn.[17]

### Reopening

[edit]

57 Worth Street building

After reopening in 1947, the law school started a new program that was influenced by a committee of alumni headed by New York State Supreme Court Justice Albert Cohn. The law school resumed operations in a building at 244 William Street.

In 1954, New York Law School was accredited by the American Bar Association, and in 1962, moved to facilities at 57 Worth Street, in Tribeca.

### Renaissance

[edit]

In 1973, E. Donald Shapiro became the dean of the law school and reformed the curriculum, expanding it to include many more classes to train students for more than simply passing the Bar Examination. These reforms, combined with the addition of new Joint Degree Programs with City College of New York in 1975 and Manhattanville College in 1978, helped the law school to recruit new students. Dean Shapiro's reform of the curriculum was behind New York Law School gaining membership to the Association of American Law Schools in 1974. That year, the New York State Department of Education changed its view of the law school, which in 1973 it had criticized in a report as the worst school in the state, proclaiming that the law school had started to undergo a "renaissance."[18]

The buildings of the law school underwent renovation under the leadership of Dean James F. Simon from 1983 to 1992. Under Simon's successor, Dean Harry H. Wellington, who served in that position until 2000, the curriculum was revised to put greater emphasis on the practical skills of a professional attorney.

### 21st century

[edit]

Current Law School in Tribeca

In late June 2006, under the leadership of Dean Richard A. Matasar, New York Law School sold its Bernard H. Mendik building at 240 Church Street. This sale enabled the school to move forward with the sale of $135 million in insured bonds, which were issued through the New York City Industrial Development Agency. The school's securities were given an A3 credit rating by Moody's and an A-minus rating by S&P, both reflective of the school's stable market position and solid financial condition. The proceeds from the building sale have been allocated to the school's endowment, which is now among the top 10 of all American law schools.[19]

The law school opened its first dormitory in the East Village in 2005. In August 2006, it broke ground on the $190 million expansion and renovation program that transformed its Tribeca campus into a cohesive architectural complex that nearly doubled the school's current size. The centerpiece of the expansion is a new glass-enclosed, 235,000-square-foot (21,800 m2), nine-level building—five stories above ground and four below, which integrates the law school's existing buildings. The new facility opened in July 2009, followed by the complete renovation of the law school's existing buildings in the spring of 2010.

On December 16, 2008, in connection with the Bernard Madoff scandal, New York Law School filed a lawsuit against J. Ezra Merkin, Ascot Partners, and Merkin's auditor BDO Seidman, LLP, after losing its $3 million investment in Ascot. The lawsuit charged Merkin with recklessness, gross negligence, and breach of fiduciary duties.[20]

In May 2012, Anthony W. Crowell became the 16th Dean and President of New York Law School.[21] In 2012, Crowell launched JumpStart, an incentive program for NYLS students who undertake bar prep classes.[22][23] Following the creation of the JumpStart program, NYLS' bar passage rate registered the highest increase of all NY law schools from 2012 to 2013.[24] In February 2013, NYLS launched a public service scholarship program, which extends full and partial tuition scholarships to city, state, and federal service members and public servants living in New York City.[25] In April 2013, New York Law School announced an expansion of its clinical and experiential learning programs, doubling the number offered from 13 to 26.[26]

On September 5, 2013, New York Law School announced the creation of a two-year J.D. Honors program, slated to begin in January 2015.[27][28] The program allows selected students to graduate one year sooner at two-thirds of the cost of a traditional three-year J.D. program.[29] Each honors student also receives a $50,000 academic scholarship.[30] The inaugural class of 2015 had 23 honors students selected from 166 applicants.[31] In October 2013, in recognition of the two-year program and other innovations, Crain's New York Business included Dean Crowell in its list of "People to Watch in Higher Education."[32]

In April 2015, NYLS announced a partnership with the University of Rochester's Simon Business School, enabling the business school to move its New York City center to the NYLS campus in Tribeca. The agreement enables both institutions to capitalize on different schedules and to collaborate on shared programs to serve their respective students and alumni. The arrangement created the only co-located law school and business school under one roof in New York City.[33][34][35]

NYLS opened the Innovation Center for Law and Technology in August 2015. The Innovation Center prepares NYLS students for careers in the science, media, and technology industries. It offers specific instruction in fields including intellectual property, sports law, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, fashion law, and privacy. The center is directed by professor Houman B. Shadab.[36][37][38]

In November 2015, NYLS announced the creation of The Joe Plumeri Center for Social Justice and Economic Opportunity. Supported by a $5 million gift from businessman Joe Plumeri, the Center houses NYLS' more than twenty legal clinics, provides hands-on legal training for students, and offers free legal services to clients through NYLS' law firm.[39][40][41][42]

Government leaders and judges from the United States often speak at or visit the law school. These have included former President Jimmy Carter; Justices of the Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Harry A. Blackmun, William J. Brennan Jr., Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Sandra Day O'Connor; former New York State Governor Mario Cuomo; former New York City Mayors Edward Koch, David Dinkins, Rudolph Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg; Drew S. Days III, U.S. Solicitor General; Thomas Pickering, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; and Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo of the International Criminal Court. In May 2011, Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Cory Booker gave the commencement address.[43] In October 2011, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spoke.[44][45] In March 2012, then-U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, now Secretary of State John Kerry gave the 2012 Sidney Shainwald Public Interest Lecture.[46][47]

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer spoke at New York Law School's Commencement in 2018, ending a four-year drought of Supreme Court justices speaking at law school graduations.[48][49] Earlier in 2018, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke at New York Law School, as part of the Sidney Shainwald Public Interest Lecture.[50] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, New York Law School began offering a simulated Big Law Summer Associate program in partnership with law firm Venable LLP, an eight-week virtual training program to provide students an experience similar to typical work experiences they missed due to the pandemic.[51]

In 2021, alumnus Zygi Wilf, owner of the NFL's Minnesota Vikings, donated $5 million to New York Law School to support public interest law and social justice programs, establish scholarships for 10 students annually, and fund fellowships, and rename the law school's Impact Center for Public Interest Law as the Wilf Impact Center for Public Interest Law.[52][53] Also in 2021, New York Law School launched the James Tricarico Jr. Institute for the Business of Law and In-House Counsel with support from alumnus James Tricarico to prepare students for in-house legal careers, a "mini-MBA program", and other classes and offerings that merge law, technology, and business skills.[54]

In 2022, New York Law School redesigned its Evening Division program, now called NYLS Pro, to make a Juris Doctor degree more accessible to working professionals and others with significant work and family responsibilities through additional online courses, new programs, and scholarships.[55] Also in 2022, TV personality and alumna Judge Judy Sheindlin, donated $5 million to New York Law School to create the Judge Judy Sheindlin Honors Scholars Program for women law students and support young women and girls interested in legal careers through a partnership with Her Honor Mentoring, a nonprofit organization founded by Judge Sheindlin and her step-daughter, Nicole Sheindlin, a class of 1993 alumna.[56][57] Sheindlin also addressed graduates at the Barclay's Center in the Law School's first in-person Commencement ceremony since 2019.[58]

The University of Rochester's New York City center for its Simon School of Business is co-located at the NYLS facility, using class and meeting space primarily on weekends as part of a collaborative arrangement between the two academic institutions.[88][89]

NYLS provides student housing in connection with Educational Housing Services (EHS), a nonprofit organization that specializes in providing New York City student housing.[90] The shared residence hall is located in St. George Towers in the nearby neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights.[91]

## Academic centers

[edit]

The faculty has established seven academic centers that provide specialized study and offer opportunities for exchange between the students, faculty, and expert practitioners. These seven academic centers engage many students in advanced research through the John Marshall Harlan Scholars Program, an academic honors program designed for students with the strongest academic credentials. Harlan Scholars affiliate with a center to focus on a particular field of study and complement the broader legal curriculum of the J.D. program.[92]

Center for Business and Financial Law

The Center for Business and Financial Law provides students with skills training in all aspects of corporate, commercial, and financial law. Through courses, events, projects, and research, the Center brings together academics, practitioners, and students to address the challenges that animate business and finance.

C.V. Starr Center for International Law

New York Law School, aided by a grant from the C.V. Starr Foundation, created the C.V. Starr Center for International Law. The center supports teaching and research in all areas of international law. Still, it concentrates on the law of international trade and finance, deriving much of its strength from interaction with New York's business, commercial, financial, and legal communities. The Center organizes symposia events to engage students and faculty in discussions with experts and practitioners in the field. For professional development, the center offers resources for studying and researching careers in international law.

The Center publishes an academic newsletter. The International Review is the only academic newsletter published by an ABA-accredited law school that reports on a broad range of contemporary international and comparative law issues.[93]

Center for New York City Law

The Center for New York City Law was founded to gather and disseminate information about New York City's laws, rules, and procedures; to sponsor publications, symposia, and conferences on topics related to governing the city; and to suggest reforms to make city government more effective and efficient. The center's bimonthly publication, City Law, tracks New York City's rules and regulations, how they are enforced, and court challenges to them. Its Web site, Center for New York City Law, contains a searchable library of more than 40,000 administrative decisions of New York City agencies. The Center publishes three newsletters: CityLaw, CityLand and CityReg.

Center for Real Estate Studies

The Center for Real Estate Studies at New York Law School provides students with an opportunity to study both the private practice and public regulation of real estate. Launched in 2007, the center offers an extensive selection of classroom courses, advanced seminars, and independent study projects, as well as externships in governmental offices and real estate firms. It also sponsors conferences, symposia, and continuing legal education programs on a broad spectrum of issues.

Impact Center for Public Interest Law

The Impact Center for Public Interest Law is the Center housing all of the law school's public interest work. The Impact Center's initiatives address topics such as housing, racial justice, voting rights, public school education, family law, immigration, and criminal justice. The Center develops student and faculty opportunities in public interest law—amicus brief writing, legislative analysis and advocacy, policy research, and community education and litigation—as well as connections within the larger public interest community.

In 2014, the School's Justice Action Center was relaunched as the Impact Center for Public Interest Law. Ever since New York Law School alumnus Senator Robert F. Wagner—the "legislative pilot of the New Deal"—wrote and led the fight to enact the National Labor Relations Act, New York Law School has led on labor and employment law and public policy. In the tradition of Senator Wagner, New York Law School's Impact Center seeks to advance and influence law and public policy with an action-oriented, public-interested agenda.[94]

Innovation Center for Law and Technology

The Innovation Center, opened in August 2015, prepares NYLS students for careers in the applied sciences, media, and technology industries. It offers specific instruction in fields including intellectual property, sports law, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, fashion law, and privacy. The center is directed by professor Ari Ezra Waldman.[95][96][97]

Joe Plumeri Center for Social Justice and Economic Opportunity

The creation of the Joe Plumeri Center was first announced in November 2015. Supported by a $5 million gift from businessman Joe Plumeri, the center will house NYLS' more than twenty legal clinics, provide hands-on legal training for students, and provide free legal services to clients through NYLS' law firm.[98][99][100][42]
