At the center of critical conversations in criminal justice

The Center for Criminal Justice builds on the existing strengths of the school’s nationally recognized criminal law faculty and places the Law School at the center of critical conversations, education, and sharing of expertise on the most vital issues and topics in criminal justice law and policy today. The center sponsors timely and topical speakers and events, awards and student fellowships, and provides CLE opportunities to criminal justice practitioners. The center serves as a forum for scholarship and discussion in areas of criminal justice that have real-world impact in New York City and across the nation.
