Mission Statement

CUNY School of Law is the nation’s #1 public interest law school; its dual mission to practice law in the service of human needs and transform the teaching, learning, and practice of law to include those it has excluded, marginalized, and oppressed make it a singular institution. As the only publicly funded law school in New York City, CUNY Law increases access to excellent legal training through this mission.

About This Cause

CUNY School of Law brings together the very best in clinical training with traditional doctrinal legal education to create lawyers prepared to serve the public interest. As part of our mission, we prepare our students to practice, in the words of our motto, “Law in the Service of Human Needs.” Our curriculum requires all third-year students to represent actual clients in such fields as immigration law, elder law, human rights law and more. CUNY is a national leader in progressive legal education. In the spring of 2007, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, in a national study of legal education, lauded CUNY School of Law’s innovative curriculum, which has become a model for law schools across the nation.
