A Dynamic Location

Our campus on Manhattan’s Upper West Side—just across the street from Lincoln Center—puts us in the heart of one of the world’s most renowned cities. Teeming with energy and opportunity, New York is an unequalled place to launch a legal career.

New York offers a rich environment to build experience and contacts.

Students seeking big-firm experience find that Fordham Law is in the center of a legal community unrivaled in scale and scope. Indeed, 94 of the nation’s top 100 law firms ranked by American Lawyer have offices in New York.

Students who want to pursue public interest law  benefit from an extensive network of public and private social service contacts that range from legal aid to the United Nations. In a city that embraces a diverse population, meaningful service opportunities abound for a diverse range of legal and social issues.

And the city can rightly be considered an education unto itself. Fordham Law students have endless opportunities to explore the city and enjoy all that it has to offer: Central Park, Broadway, The Tribeca Film Festival, The New York Yankees, MoMA, Chinatown, Greenwich Village. The iconic list of things to do and see is topped only by the thousands of vibrant and quirky diversions found around virtually any corner in New York City.

Perhaps most importantly, New York is one of the world’s gateway cities. From here, students can go anywhere their interests and skills take them.
