Cornell Law School, Ivy League law school in Ithaca, United States
Cornell Law School operates from Myron Taylor Hall, a Gothic building housing lecture rooms, study areas, and a library holding roughly 700,000 legal volumes. The facility provides space for both classroom instruction and extensive legal research.
The school began in 1887 as a university department before becoming known by its current name in 1925. This change reflected its growth into an independent institution.
The Legal Information Institute here provides free online access to court documents and legal materials for anyone who needs them. This work shows how the school shares knowledge beyond its own classrooms.
Visitors can learn about clinical programs run by the school, including tenant rights advocacy and the Cornell Law Death Penalty Project. These programs show how students gain hands-on experience in real legal cases.
The school supervises hundreds of students annually in real legal cases through its clinical programs. This hands-on training sets it apart from many other law schools that focus more heavily on theory.
