Founded in 1976 by Yeshiva University, one of the finest research universities in the United States, the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law has a national reputation for a top-caliber faculty and an innovative academic program that includes a wide range of exciting and practical opportunities.

Cardozo's faculty is known for being widely-published legal scholars, most of whom have also practiced law. They are accessible and invite ongoing dialogue with their students--inside and outside of the classroom. In addition, nearly half of the faculty also hold advanced degrees in other disciplines, making them particularly qualified to provide a fully-rounded and rigorous legal education. Cardozo students also benefit from a curriculum that has a strong balance of theory and practice. The Law School's clinical program offers experiences in criminal, corporate, family, human rights, and immigration law, as well as others, and internships, externships, and job opportunities are diverse and abundant in the city that never sleeps.
