CROWELL, DEAN AND PRESIDENT, AND ARTHUR Abbey ’59, CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF TRUSTEES As New York Law School approaches its 125th anniversary, we are in an important and exciting period of transition. Many changes are under way as we chart our course for an exciting future. Indeed, together, we are writing the next chapters of New York Law School’s history, and we know you stand proud and ready to help. Like the great City of New York, we are resilient and getting stronger every day. We issued a provocative and groundbreaking Strategic Plan that has garnered national attention. The Plan covers every aspect of the School and reflects our continuing dedication to innovation, diversity, and excellence. We made national news by introducing the country’s first two-year honors J.D. program; we doubled our clinical offerings from 13 to 26 to ensure that every student who wants a clinical experience can have one; we earned Presidential Honors for our pro bono work; and we came back on our bar pass rate—we increased the passage rate by 14 points to 83 percent in one year.
