The Lawyering Program

NYU is the only top tier law school committed to giving sophisticated, in-depth attention, from the first year of legal study, to the interactive, fact-sensitive and interpretive work that is fundamental to excellence in practice.

The Lawyering Program makes good on that commitment. It complements NYU's superior doctrinal classes, giving every first year student closely structured, collaborative experiences of law in use. As a result, the NYU legal scholar gains a richer understanding of doctrine and a disciplined, critical approach to the work of practice.
