NY Law School Office of Student Life Student Life Student life at New York Law School is as rich and varied as New York City itself. Students of all ages come to the Law School from all walks of life, from all over the United States and abroad, from a variety of cultural, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, with a wide range of interests in areas of legal study. Such diversity provides a superior learning environment and a more rewarding educational experience. These journals include articles and book reviews by established scholars at and outside New York Law School and articles, notes, and case comments written by student members.
Membership is based upon competitive academic criteria and the results of a writing competition.
The Moot Court Association is organized and run by students to develop skills in research, writing, and oral advocacy and to increase understanding of appellate legal processes. Under the supervision of members of the Association, students begin by participating in the Law School's Froessel Moot Court intramural competition held each fall. Successful competitors are invited to become members of the Association and to represent the School in intermural competitions throughout the country. In recent years the Association has had considerable success in nationwide intermural competitions. Each spring it also hosts the national Robert F. Wagner National Labor Law Moot Court Competition in which teams from more than thirty law schools from across the country participate.
