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.
Last week, the Cornell Law Community came together to support the next generation of Cornell lawyers. Thank you so much to everyone who donated, you showed up and made a remarkable impact all across our school. Another successful #CornellGivingDay! Here`s a pic of Dean Jens Ohlin and everyone`s favorite, Touchdown the Bear!
