Looking Back at 135 Years of New York Law School

For 135 years, NYLS has been an integral part of the life of its city, training the lawyers whose commitment to the rule of law is essential to a place that, in many ways, contains the entire world within itself. The Law School has done that successfully by never standing still and never deciding that what is cannot be improved. And that will not change.
