Sterling Law Building, Gothic university building at Yale University in New Haven, US.
The Sterling Law Building spans an entire city block, featuring stone sculptures, wood carvings, and stained glass medallions depicting legal themes throughout its structure.
Constructed between 1929 and 1931, architect James Gamble Rogers designed the building following the model of English Inns of Court for Yale Law School.
