Visit Cornell Law School

Ithaca is located in the heart of the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. With its many gorges, lakes, and parks, natural beauty surrounds the campus. In fact, the Law School is bounded by Cascadilla Gorge with waterfalls and a short trail to downtown Ithaca.
“The close camaraderie of the student body and the one-on-one attention from professors lends to an individualized and personal education like none I have experienced before.”
Sophia Rogers '25

Warmest holiday wishes from Cornell Law School!
“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!🍂🥧
