Description Of University
F ounded in 1831, New York University is the largest private university in the United States. The University, which is composed of 14 schools, colleges, and divisions, occupies five major centers in Manhattan. It operates branch campus and research programs in other parts of the United States and abroad, as well as study abroad programs in more than 25 countries. New York University is also one of the largest employers in New York City, with over 16,000 employees.
At that time, 1831, most students in American colleges and universities were members of the privileged classes. Albert Gallatin and the University's founding fathers planned NYU as a center of higher learning that would be open to all, regardless of national origin, religious beliefs, or social background.
While the University's commitment to these ideals remains unchanged, in many ways Albert Gallatin would scarcely recognize NYU today. From a student body of 158, enrollment has grown to nearly 40,000 students attending 14 schools and colleges at six different locations in Manhattan and in over 20 study-abroad countries around the world. Students come from many foreign countries. The faculty, which initially consisted of 14 professors and lecturers (among them artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse), now totals over 3,100 full-time members.

Brief Description of law college
New York University School of Law, founded in 1835, is located on the University's main campus in Greenwich Village in New York City.
NYU School of Law is committed to enrolling a student body from a broad spectrum of society, with the strongest combination of qualifications and the greatest potential to contribute to the diversity and dynamism of the Law School community. The Law School strives to provide access to the finest legal education to members of groups under-represented in the legal profession.
NYU's stimulating intellectual climate is fostered by world-famous scholars and researchers who have received Nobel, Crafoord, and Pulitzer Prizes; MacArthur, Guggenheim, and Fulbright Fellowships; as well as Oscar and Emmy Awards. Enrollment in the undergraduate divisions of the University ranges between 100 and 6,500. With more than 2,500 courses are offered, the University awards more than 25 different degrees. With a 1:11 faculty/student ratio and approximately 82 percent of classes having fewer than 30 students, undergraduates get to know their professors, often working with them on individual research projects, theatrical performances, and even archaeological digs. Together, our superb faculty and extraordinary student body create a dynamic learning environment, where knowledge is not just passed along, but explored and shared.

Faculty
The essence of the New York University School of Law experience is the close interaction between our faculty and students. Creating and nurturing a stimulating intellectual environment is central to the educational philosophy of the Law School, and these characteristics hold high appeal for both students and faculty. The opportunity to teach talented students in the most vibrant city in the world resulted in a significant migration of faculty to NYU School of Law, with 40 extraordinary legal scholars recently joining the Law School faculty. This site exhibits our faculty's outstanding research, publications, and accomplishments, and the enormous impact they have both in the classroom and throughout the legal community.
New York University School of Law has long been marked as having one of the nation's outstanding law faculties. Our full-time faculty includes more than 100 men and women who have come to NYU School of Law from a variety of private practice, from the bench, from policy making and advisory positions in government, from business and industry, from the nonprofit sector, and from other law schools.
Student Life
There are over 40 different student groups that make up our Student Bar Association. Most groups have or share offices in the basement of the Mercer Residence. Student Group Mailboxes can also be found in the basement of Mercer. Each Student Group usually has a bulletin board on their door also for posting announcements or leaving notes.

Career Planning and Placement
Office of Career Services
One of the privileges New York University School of Law students enjoy is also a challenge: How to choose among the wide range of careers an NYU School of Law degree makes possible. The success of NYU School of Law students in finding jobs in the private sector is well known, as is their success in the world of public service.
Similar success is enjoyed by students seeking judicial clerkships nationwide. NYU School of Law graduates have clerked at the United States Supreme Court and the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Graduates also obtain positions on the faculties of law schools worldwide. Students are assisted in their job search by the most extensive placement program in the country. The Office of Career Services, together with the Public Interest Law Center, organizes numerous recruiting programs, panels and workshops: videotapes simulated interview programs; and offers individual counseling sessions.
This has produced an outstanding success rate: 99.5% of the J.D. Class of 2004 reported that they secured their first or second choice of jobs as law firm associates, judicial law clerks, staff attorneys with public interest and government organizations, in-house attorneys and non-practicing lawyers in business.
