Life at Cornell Law

The kinds of students who choose to study at a small law school nestled in the middle of the Finger Lakes are the kinds of people comfortable forging their own paths.
“At Cornell Law School you not only learn from professors but also from colleagues from all over the world, which broadens your perspective on the law.”
Kanyapak Wiriyapongsukit, LL.M. '23

“Throughout the last two semesters, I have spent more than thirty hours interviewing clients on immigration matters," says Josiah Jones '26. "I have worked with individual clients I’ve gotten to know in-depth, and I’ve spent three days in detention centers advising people on their immigration rights with only brief individual consults. Throughout these experiences, I have learned the value in the work that has been accomplished, but I also have come to realize just how much work there is yet to be done.”

From everyone here at Cornell Law School, we wish you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!🍂🥧
