Central New York high school students, who are part of @cornell_upwardbound, recently spent the day at Cornell Law getting a firsthand look at life as a lawyer. They met with current law students and professors, explored what law school is like, and even stepped into the courtroom for a mock trial. An inspiring, hands-on experience for all who participated.

Veterans Day reminds us to thank those who served. At Cornell Law, our students do more than thank; they act. Through the Veterans Law Practicum, they provide free legal support to veterans in need year-round.
With a recent $250,000 loss in VA funding, your support is more critical than ever.
With your help, we can keep this lifeline open and ensure no veteran faces their legal battles alone.
Your gift today will:
• Fund more staff attorneys and summer fellows to extend our impact all year long
• Provide greater financial stability to pursue higher-impact litigation that protects veterans’ rights”
