Welcome to the Cornell Law School community
Cornell Law School is a small, top-tier law school located in stunning surroundings of natural beauty. We enroll only 190-195 JD students and 55-60 graduate LL.M. students each year to ensure that we maintain a close knit academic environment. Our students not only benefit from our small class size but also from one of the lowest student to faculty ratios in legal education (11 to 1).
The law is approached as a humanistic science at Cornell Law School. Students learn the principles, skills and ethics of being a lawyer and study the context in which laws are made. The academic environment at the law school can be best described as a close knit community of scholars. Our students view each other as colleagues instead of competitors. Our goal is to produce “lawyers in the best sense”!
