Experiential Learning
Cornell Law School’s robust and thriving experiential learning program traces its roots back to 1960. Today, it is an essential part of our educational mission, encompassing twenty-three clinics and practicum courses and an extensive array of externships and simulation courses.
Students in the Immigration Law and Advocacy Clinic recently took a trip down to Louisiana to assist detained immigrants with attorneys from @rfkhumanrights and @aclu.louisiana. They met with dozens of individuals from all over the world to assess their immigration cases. Take a look at some of the snapshots from their trip! #CornellLawClinics #CornellLaw

This evening at Cornell Law School, we had the honor of hosting First Amendment scholars, Professor Jameel Jaffer, Columbia University, and Professor Eugene Volokh, University of California at Los Angeles. The inaugural Milstein Symposium concentrated on freedom of expression and exploring its scope and boundaries. The thought-provoking discussion was moderated by Cornell University Dean of Faculty, Eve De Rosa.

Tonight, Cornell Law was pleased to host a panel discussion to kick off @Cornell’s year-long series "The Indispensable Condition: Freedom of Expression at Cornell." Moderated by Professor Gautam Hans, the panel featured Professors Michael Dorf and Nelson Tebbe, along with Karen Levy, professor in the Department of Information Science in @CornellCIS. The panelists discussed a variety of issues, including First Amendment protections for speech and assembly, challenges applying those protections in a democratic and pluralistic society, and the ways speech principles play out in a rapidly changing digital world.
