The mission of the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law, the only publicly-supported law school in New York City and one of only two in the State, is to educate students for the practice of law with special emphasis on public service and public interest law. We seek to enhance the diversity of the bar and to meet previously unmet legal needs, to recruit students from and train lawyers for historically underserved communities, and to educate all our students about the diverse and special legal needs of communities through our City and State.
Although academic potential is demonstrated through quantitative factors such as the undergraduate record and LSAT scores, the selection committee also assesses the rigor of the areas of study and college attended, the quality of the student body, the grade point average and course selection trends, as well as employment during college while recognizing individual accomplishments, backgrounds and experiences.
CUNY has a student body from such diverse geographic, cultural, economic, racial, ethnic and social backgrounds as are reflected in New York City, and whose accomplishments, talents, experiences and compassion will make a positive and long-lasting contribution to underserved and underrepresented communities.
