• The NYU Advantage: Lawyering •
Thanks to the Lawyering sequence, “you walk out of your first semester with a legal writing sample that you can send to prospective 1L summer employers. That in itself is a huge deal.”
• 1L Highlight: Criminal Law •
"I took Criminal Law with Professor Erin Murphy and I asked if I could keep working with her. She's an associate reporter for the American Law Institute and I assisted her with research related to revisions of the Model Penal Code sections on sexual assault.”
• 2L Highlight: The Clinic Experience •
In the Community Reentry and Reintegration Clinic, Professor Tony Thompson's teaching “pushed me and my client to another level.”• Faculty Mentor •
“I took Criminal Litigation, which covers everything from meeting your client to your closing argument at trial, with Professor Randy Hertz. I also completed directed research under his instruction and worked as his research assistant. His guidance is invaluable.”
• The Washington Square Way •
“Once I’m out and practicing, I really can’t overstate the importance NYU Law’s education will be to my work as an attorney.”
