I invite you to come for a visit. —Melanie Leslie ’91, Dean and Professor of Law where you want to go. 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.
