Hasina Rup Cardozo Law also provides housing for its students, although many students choose to cut costs by living outside of the expensive Greenwich Village area. Cars are not necessary and aren't even practical for Cardozo Law students who can save time and money by taking advantage of the efficient New York City subway system.
A good number of students who are new to the area live in "the Alabama" which is student housing near the school, so they make friends that way. Like most New Yorkers, I think Cardozo students learn how to budget time, and make time for fun. Law school's consuming, but it's easy to grab a drink at dozens of places near school and students do it often on Fridays, especially since the school kicks us out at sundown for Sabbath.
Student clubs as well as various offices of the school sponsor several events a week, usually equipped with food, booze, and socializing or "networking" with legal practitioners. As for non-law school activities, I think the somewhat commuter nature of Cardozo means that students tend to maintain their friendships with non-law school friends and networks, so many do their own thing on weekends, too.
The law school is located on 12 th Street in Greenwich Village, and consists of the main building and a nearby residence hall. Everyone we've talked to reports that the facilities are more than adequate and that the library is particularly spacious and well-lit.
We have a residence hall about a block away from the law school. We prioritize assignments for those in the entering class who come from outside of the New York area. The building is on one of the nicest streets in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. In recent years, we have found that we can eventually accommodate virtually every JD student in the entering class who wanted to live in the residence hall.
Most of our second- and third- year students live off-campus, in a variety of neighborhoods - Brooklyn, uptown Manhattan, Hoboken, and Queens. Our Admissions Office maintains a housing list and puts new students in touch with each other and with second and third year students looking for roommates, and that also works well.
A resident of New York City gives the following insight for those facing the great New York apartment hunt:. Generally speaking, the housing market here is a bit too fast-paced for print media, or at least it was back during the good old Age of Leverage.
There's a lot of separating the wheat from the chaff on Craigslist, but it's generally possible to find something workable after a day or two of searching. If all else fails, post something in the "housing wanted" section though don't let on that you're new in town.
Another thing - most NYC transplants of our age group use sublets as their gateway to NY, and I suggest you do the same; if possible, try to get a month-to-month deal.
That way you won't be tied to something if it turns out to suck, and you'll have time to get a sense of different neighborhoods and figure out where you actually want to live. As the busiest borough in 'the city that never sleeps,' Manhattan provides a unique backdrop for a law school. Within walking distance of Cardozo Law there are several dozen international cuisines available, countless bars and nightspots, and a host of world famous landmarks.
Cost-conscious students will likely chose to live in the outer boroughs Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island as living in Manhattan is extremely expensive and commuting is relatively easy using public transit. There is, of course, plenty to do in the outer boroughs as well. Of particular note for dining and partying respectively are tree-lined Park Slope and hipster-clogged Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Six-figure debt is par for the course when it comes to law school these days, so this sum isn't actually too bad.
Note that this is average debt; students who enjoy Manhattan too much can certainly end up with more. Cardozo Law offers a wide variety of extracurricular opportunities to its students. Many of the student organizations are focused around a particular area of the law, while others are purely social. We have a very large Center for Public Service Law that administers a number of special programs to assist students in pro bono activities that help the community and give them extraordinary practical experience.
The Courtroom Advocates Project recruits, trains, supervises and mentors law students to provide legal assistance to battered women seeking protective orders. The Uncontested Divorce Project works in partnership with Sanctuary for Families, to assist battered women with uncontested divorces. In our Unemployment Action Center UAC , students receive training to help laid-off workers navigate the regulatory maze of unemployment benefits.
Our Cardozo Youth Advocates program partners with a local high school and gets young people thinking and talking about the law. There are also a variety of extracurricular activities available to students over winter, spring, and summer breaks. For example, Dean Diller tells us:.
Since , Cardozo has sent a contingent of students to the Gulf Coast during spring breaks in order to assist local legal services organizations with the devastating effects of post-Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. In partnership with Volunteers of Legal Services, Cardozo students attend monthly sessions at Riker's Island and Bayview Correctional Facility to help women with issues concerning the care and custody of their children while they are incarcerated.
These are just a few of the programs that we offer. In addition students organize Blood Drives, food drives, and a holiday toy drive. Students interested in working on law journals will have plenty of opportunity to do so at Cardozo through the school's six student-edited journals. Students are selected for [journal] membership on the basis of academic achievement and writing ability.
Second-year students write scholarly comments and conduct research, cite check, and perform other editorial duties. Third-year students can become members of the editorial board; they are responsible for editing student comments and outside pieces. Each semester, students receive one credit for staff positions or two credits for editorial-board positions.
Cardozo also has a journal called Law and Literature which focuses on "restrictions on creative expression and legal themes in works of literature. The main competitive organization at Cardozo is the Moot Court Honor Society through which students can participate in intramural, regional, and even national moot court competitions. Cardozo is a good law school in a great location. The law school has some excellent and experienced faculty; some professors currently teaching at Cardozo were there when Cardozo first opened.
The facilities at Cardozo are relatively new, with the library receiving strong reviews. Students at Cardozo have few complaints about the law school itself, and seem generally happy.
Job prospects for Cardozo Law are decent for students above median, but those below median can expect to struggle to find employment. But many firms based in New York that have been forced to cut back on recruiting are still stopping at Cardozo; this is not likely to change given its choice proximity to the offices of so many firms. The fluctuations in the legal job market do present some corresponding measure of worry for Cardozo students. Still, students looking to find work in New York City can do very well at Cardozo.
Though it lacks a long history, it is slowly cementing its reputation as a strong feeder school for the New York City market. Benjamin N. Retrieved July 29, U. All of the students and professors that I met were eager and open to answering any of the endless questions that I had prepared.
Some law schools give a competitive and "cut-throat" vibe, but I didn't get that at all when speaking with students I was right about this - everyone here has been so delightful and so helpful.
Also, being right in the middle of New York City is incomparable. The relationships that I have fostered and developed. I enjoy being surrounded by such genuine, talented, and intelligent peers.
My goal is to join a law firm after graduation where I will be practicing Employment Law and Litigation. I chose Cardozo Law because of the location and public interest focus. The collaborative and laid-back environment among the students. Out of law school, I want to work in family defense for indigent clients in a public defender's office.
I chose to attend Cardozo because of its community oriented culture and strong Intellectual Property program. I chose Cardozo because of its amazing May program. The May program is such a gift; while you might be spending your summer in school instead of in the sun, you gain a close-knit class, an intimate learning environment, and a much better 1L experience.
While 1L will still be stressful, the May program allows you to soak in every moment of your classes and have time to join some clubs. I love the people; Cardozo truly is a family.
The students have the brightest, friendliest, most innovative, diverse, and unique minds. I am proud to say I have made the best friends, especially in my May program. Further, the professors are brilliant and want their students to achieve greatness. Professors always make time for students. Cardozo offers so many unique and memorable experiences. This experience was just one of the many amazing events I have been lucky to attend as a Cardozo student.
I have loved every minute of my time, in-person and virtual! Professor Myriam Gilles is an expert on class actions and aggregate litigation. She has testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on forced arbitration clauses that strip individuals of the right to sue.
