Cardozo School of Law

Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law has a national reputation for a top-caliber faculty and an innovative academic program that includes a wide range of exciting and practical opportunities. Cardozo’s faculty is known for being widely-published legal scholars, most of whom have also practiced law. They are accessible, and invite ongoing dialogue with their students—inside and outside of the classroom. In addition, nearly half of the faculty also hold advanced degrees in other disciplines, making them particularly qualified to provide a well-rounded and rigorous legal education. With a diverse selection of internships and externships, along with a clinical program that offers experiences in criminal, corporate, family, human rights, and immigration law, as well as others, Cardozo students also benefit from a curriculum that has a strong balance of theory and practice. There are certain qualities that set Cardozo apart and give it a unique character. Among them are flexibility and the desire and drive not to be complacent, but to constantly improve for the benefit of students and society. Cardozo’s special, nationally known programs—among them the Innocence Project, the Intellectual Property Law Program, the Alternate Dispute Resolution Program, the Immigration Justice Clinic, and the Holocaust Claims Restitution Clinic—combine intellectual excellence and public advocacy, helping to shape the legal landscape.
