Campus

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.

Law School Tours

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person tours of the Law School are temporarily suspended. Instead, see below for a virtual tour led by Kevin Clermont, Robert D. Ziff Professor of Law.

“The fact that the school is located in Ithaca allowed me to experience living in a smaller college town and to have more of a university experience.”
