About New York Law
New York Law School (NYLS) is a private, American law school in the Tribeca neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. The third oldest law school in New York City, its history predates its official founding in 1891 by Theodore Dwight: Dwight founded Columbia Law School in 1858 when he became its original professor. Nationwide, NYLS is the 50th oldest among 197 American Bar Association-accredited law schools. NYLS is the only law school founded in New York City between the end of the U.S. Civil War and the 1898 consolidation of all five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island) into the City of Greater New York. The first president of NYLS's Board of Trustees was John Bigelow, who had served as the American Consul in Paris under President Abraham Lincoln and played a crucial role in blocking France and the United Kingdom from intervening on behalf of the Confederacy. Over the course of 33 years prior to founding NYLS, Dwight had taught thousands of lawyers at Columbia, including the founders of Shearman & Sterling, Sullivan & Cromwell, and Simpson Thatcher, as well as Columbia Law School's first African-American student, George Henry Schanck. NYLS has a full-time day program and, since 1894, a part-time evening program. Its faculty includes more than 50 full-time and over 100 adjunct professors. Notable faculty members have included Woodrow Wilson, Annette Gordon-Reed, Charles Evans Hughes, William Kunstler, Edward A. Purcell Jr., Nadine Strossen, Beth Simone Novek, Penelope Andrews, Lenni Benson, founder of the Safe Passage Project, Michael L. Perlin, Carlin Meyer, Chen Lung-chu, and Robert Blecker. NYLS has produced more NYC Mayors than any other law school, including the son of Civil War General George B. McClellan, George B. McClellan Jr.; John Purroy Mitchel; John Francis Hylan; and Jimmy Walker. Prominent NYLS alumni include Robert F. Wagner, James S. Watson, Maurice R. Greenberg, former chairman and CEO of American International Group Inc. and current chairman and CEO of C.V. Starr and Co. Inc.; Charles E. Phillips Jr., former CEO of Infor and former President of Oracle; and Judith "Judge Judy" Sheindlin, New York family court judge, author, and television personality. Other past graduates include Wallace Stevens, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, Elmer Rice, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, and United States Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan II.
