About

The City University of New York School of Law (CUNY School of Law, pronounced /ˈkjuːni/, KYOO-nee) is a public law school in New York City. It was founded in 1983 as part of the City University of New York and is the only publicly funded law school in the city. CUNY Law's dual mission is "to recruit and train outstanding public interest lawyers" and to "diversify the legal profession." CUNY Law's curriculum is centered around integrating clinical teaching methods within traditional legal studies. The curriculum is unique among law schools in its emphasis on civil rights law, indigent defense, and using the law to challenge systemic inequalities.
