The Brooklyn Law Incubator & Policy (“BLIP”) Clinic’s first-ever Legal Hackathon made waking up before 9:00 on a Sunday morning worth it. Going to law school at NYU puts on tap a legal community and resources that you really cannot fully contemplate until you actually arrive here.
Special receptions provide the perfect venue for many of the LL.M. scholars from different cultural and professional backgrounds to mingle and interact among themselves and with the rest of the NYU Law community in a more casual, non-classroom atmosphere.
Last Thursday, NYU Law’s International Law Society, SBA, and Asia Law Society came together to sponsor the annual International Food Festival in an attempt to break me out of my second-semester funk.
Behind any event is countless hours of preparation and hard work—but being able to create a great event from the ground up made it worth all the effort.
Over the past year two of the four major sports leagues, the National Football League (NFL) and the National Basketball Association (NBA), experienced lockouts that threatened to cancel their respective seasons (which in retrospect, as a New York Giants fan, would have been absolutely devastating). While the leagues nearly sacrificed billions and fans looked on in [...]
So how did I wind up in a situation where I was living in the Deep South and immersing myself in work that I hadn’t had much exposure to before law school?
I got lucky.
Although law schools have attempted to diversify their student bodies over the years, a recent study casts strong doubt as to the effectiveness of these initiatives with respect to socioeconomic diversity. I offer my perspective on the issue based on my realization that I am among the 5%.
Through studying more hours than I knew I was capable of and fighting down ever-increasing waves of panic, I somehow managed to survive the first semester of my 1L year. These are the three most important lessons I gleaned from the experience.
Desperate for a good cup of joe? Here are some places (other than the ubiquitous coffee-shop chains) within walking distance from the NYU School of Law where you can get your caffeine fix.
After both my Contracts and Torts classes culminated in the final weeks with sections on “damages,” it’s only appropriate that I reflect back on the semester and, well, assess the damage.
Debating between attending either NYU or Columbia Law School? Rather than relying on a Magic 8 Ball, read this post, based on both facts and the perspectives of students from each school, to discover the differences and make your decision.
Today, my mind would be emptied of readings, homework, issues. Because today, a friend and I would be joining 47,000 runners, half of whom are international, in a long-awaited, heart-pumping event known as the 2011 ING New York City Marathon.
Something about being in the midst of my 3L year makes me take a reflective look back at my time at NYU Law, and I realize that being on a journal really is one my favorite things about law school.
Due to the variety of the available course selections, the sterling roster of NYU Law faculty, and the sheer diversity of the graduate students admitted, the NYU LL.M. program is arguably one of the more popular and sought-after postgraduate programs in the world. While the application instructions featured on the NYU Law website are fairly [...]
“When I’m not running after deadlines, I’m running late for events organized by the Office of Graduate Affairs.” At least, that was the thought racing through my mind when I was navigating my way to Chelsea Piers before the last call for boarding the cruise ship at 5:30 p.m. My friends and I boarded the ship [...]
Law and Economics is inescapable your 1L year. It is also perfectly understandable—even for arithmophobes like me.
This past Friday, the South Asian Law Students Association held the SALSA Ball, the group’s annual celebration of Diwali, the festival of lights. As a member of the group, I participated in full force.
