Experiential Learning
Experiential learning at Cornell Law School is a central part of our educational model. A robust set of clinical courses helps students move beyond the classroom into the world of practice; the Lawyering Program focuses on teaching the real-life skills employed by practicing attorneys, and externships around the country and across the globe put classroom learning into practice.
Cornell First Amendment Clinic student Andrew Gelfand (CLS ’23) and ACLU of Vermont Staff Attorney Harrison Stark argued at the Vermont Supreme Court yesterday in a case with important implications for access to Vermont public records. Several generations of Cornell Clinic students have worked on this case on behalf of news outlet VTDigger.
Pictured from left to right is Lia Ernst, Hillary Rich (CLS ’19), Stark and Gelfand. Not pictured: Co-counsel Jared Carter, Timothy Cornell (CLS ’02), and Heather Murray (CLS ’13) and Clinic student Lauren Kazen (CLS ’23). #CornellLawClinics #CornellLaw

On June 5, 2022, the government of Malawi issued a press release announcing that President Lazarus Chakwera had commuted the death sentences of 22 death row prisoners. The move came after years of campaigning by human rights advocates in Malawi and beyond, including a petition authored by two students of Cornell Law School’s International Human Rights Clinic.

It is rare to have so many busy presidents gathered together at one time, but we had the pleasure of photographing these four intelligent students during a photoshoot for Cornell Law School on Friday.
These 4 women are:
Sidne Norman, President of the Black Law Students Association
Carolyn Click, President of the Native American Law Students Association
Eva Charles, President of the Women's Law Coalition
Delia Li, President of the Women of Color Collective
It was wonderful hearing their stories and learning about their individual paths within Cornell and for the future! #CornellLawSchool
