OUR UNIQUE VIEW OF
LEGAL
EDUCATION
Cardozo nurtures lawyers who
are powerful problem solvers
and creative thinkers.
The Cardozo approach to legal education combines the highest level of intellectual
engagement between students and faculty with an ambitious and practical
approach to the application of law. We hold a commitment to the words of the great
Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo, who said that “the final cause of law
is the welfare of society.” Cardozo faculty members teach the legal fundamentals
with exceptional skill and passion. They also teach their students how to creatively
apply the law to their clients’ lives and how to anticipate and address cultural shifts
that call for legal responses.
Lawyers make a difference in people’s lives every day and provide solutions
to our society’s deepest challenges. Cardozo students don’t just digest the law:
they wrestle with it, challenge it and learn to shape it.
CARDOZO.YU.EDU 5
We have a unique
approach to
legal education.
To thrive and achieve career success in today’s legal
landscape, law students must acquire a set of
complementary skills that are equal parts intellectual
and practical. Our renowned faculty provide a
superb grounding in both the essential principles
“
that underpin our justice system and their practical
application. They are highly ethical practitioners,
committed to teaching the values of sound legal
theory in the pursuit of justice for all.

Public Service is in our DNA.
Public service is at the very heart of the Cardozo experience. It has been
since we opened our doors in 1976. Throughout your studies at Cardozo,
you will have many opportunities to work for access to justice for those in
need. Students have worked to help win exoneration for innocent prisoners
on death row, pursued asylum cases and sought restitution for Holocaust
survivors. Many Cardozo students each year are steeped in the legal ave-
nues to social justice while actually working to achieve it for their clients.
The Center for Public Service Law provides guidance and support to students wishing to pursue public service and
organizes regular programming for the entire law school community on public service topics. The Center also supports
all public service events and helps students make valuable connections for externships.
