The CUNY School of Law is located in Queens, New York just minutes from Manhattan across the East River. Queens, one of the five boroughs of the City of New York, has a population of 2.2 million people representing all parts of the world. According to a U.S. News and World Report survey, it is the most diverse borough in the country.

Queens was the site of the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs and is home today to cultural institutions such as the New York Hall of Science, the Queens Botanical Garden, the Queens Museum of Art, and Queens Theater in the Park, all located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Queens has some of the best eating in the world, largely because the world has come to Queens - immigrants have brought the best of the world's cooking to our borough. Queens also is home to the New York Mets, who play their home games at Shea Stadium (with a new stadium under construction).

For a complete and comprehensive list of cultural, historical and recreational sites and activities, visit A Walk Through Queens and Discover Queens.

The Law School is located at 65-21 Main Street, also in the Flushing section of Queens.
