This article is more comprehensive than Columbia Law School's wikipedia page. And this article reads less like an advertisement than Columbia's. For example, Columbia Law School's article contains a section on its rankings, while this article does not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Law_School#Rankings — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.60.85 (talk) 03:11, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

why no mention of the recent litigation against NYLS regarding its allegedly misleading employment statistics? Are wikipedia entries for sale to the highest bidder, then? --unperson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.56.220.25 (talk) 22:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Updates to History section

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hello, I'd like to suggest the following updates to the article's History section. I have included what I believe to be reliable sources, but am not implementing them myself due to my COI.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer spoke at New York Law School’s Commencement in 2018, ending a four year drought of Supreme Court justices speaking at law school graduations.^[1]^[2] Earlier in 2018, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke at New York Law School, as part of the Sidney Shainwald Public Interest Lecture.^[3]
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, New York Law School began offering a simulated Big Law Summer Associate program in partnership with law firm Venable LLP, an eight-week virtual training program to provide students an experience similar to typical work experiences they missed due to the pandemic.^[4]
In 2021, alumnus Zygi Wilf, owner of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings, donated $5 million to New York Law School to support public interest law and social justice programs, establish scholarships for 10 students annually, and fund fellowships, and rename the law school’s Impact Center for Public Interest Law as the Wilf Impact Center for Public Interest Law.^[5]^[6]
Also in 2021, New York Law School launched the James Tricarico Jr. Institute for the Business of Law and In-House Counsel with support from alumnus James Tricarico to prepare students for in-house legal careers, a “mini-MBA program,” and other classes and offerings that merge law, technology, and business skills.^[7]
In 2022, New York Law School redesigned its Evening Division program, now called NYLS Pro, to make a law degree more accessible to working professionals and others with significant work and family responsibilities through additional online courses, new programs, and scholarships.^[8]
Also in 2022, TV personality and alumna Judge Judy Sheindlin, donated $5 million to New York Law School to create the Judge Judy Sheindlin Honors Scholars Program for women law students, and support young women and girls interested in legal careers through a partnership with Her Honor Mentoring, a nonprofit organization founded by Judge Sheindlin and her step-daughter, Nicole Sheindlin, a class of 1993 alumna.^[9]^[10] Sheindlin also addressed graduates at the Barclay's Center in the Law School's first in-person Commencement ceremony since 2019.^[11]

EchetusXe thanks for your help! Ariel at NYLS (talk) 18:02, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additional updates and changes

I appreciate the help I have received from EchetusXe in the past, here and on Dean Crowell's article. I am making an additional request for the community to consider the following changes to this article:

Replace the outdated content in the Costs section with the 2023-24 information: The 2023-24 full tuition for the full-time program is $$62,644 and fees are $2,180 for a total of $64,824. For part-time students, the tuition is $48,236 and fees are $1,582 for total of $49,818.^[1]

Replace the outdated current content of the Alumni employment section with the most recent available data, including the removal of the 2015 chart. Suggest:

According to ABA-required disclosures, 90.2% of the class of 2022 had obtained employment 10months after graduation, and 83.96 % had obtained long-term, full-time JD-required or JD-Advantage employment.^[2]

Replace the 2017 ranking information with 2023 data, provided in this source, including 2023 accolades from pre-Law/National Jurist:^[3]

A grade in human rights law
A+ grade in family law
Top School for Government and Criminal Law Employment
A for Intellectual Property Law
A for alternate Dispute Resolution
B+ for Practical Training
B+ in Environmental law
A in Racial Justice ^[4]

Add the following people to the Notable faculty section:

present faculty: Penelope Andrews, professor of Law and Director of Racial Justice Project; Lenni Benson, founder of Safe Passage Project, distinguished Chair in Immigration and Human Rights Law; Rebecca Roiphe, lawyers' ethics and the history of the legal profession

Also in this section, move Robert Blecker to the list of former faculty and remove Richard Bernstein who is no longer an adjunct professor at NYLS

Add the following Notable alumni:

judicial: Anthony Cannataro, Judge, New York Court of Appeals (2022-present)

political: Michael McMahon, Richmond County (Staten Island) District Attorney; Tiffany Caban, New York City Councilmember; Kalman Yeger, New York City Councilmember; Robert C. Carroll, New York State Assemblymember; Charles Lavine, New York State Assemblymember

Business:Vincent Viola, Chairman, Owner of Surprise Sports & Entertainment and owner of Florida Panthers; Cindy Rose, CEO Microsoft Western Europe.

Also in the Cultural list of this section, remove Miriam Weeks as this is supported by The NY Post, a deprecated source
