Lily Batchelder teaching

1L Elective

“I chose to take Income Taxation with Lily Batchelder as my elective. It was a very good experience because I was able to learn a lot about tax and how it actually does affect our daily lives.”

2L: Building Connections

“I was the outreach chair for the Asian-Pacific American Law Students Association (APALSA).”

3L: Interdisciplinary exploration

Working as a research assistant for the Grunin Center for Law and Social Entrepreneurship “was a very rewarding experience. I was able to understand what the lay of the land is now for social entrepreneurship and impact investment.”

The Washington Square Way

“NYU Law is in the best location in New York City. That’s why I decided to come.”
