The Office of Student Affairs has teamed up with the Office of Alumni Relations, BLAPA Law Alumni Association, Law Alumni Association to bring you the Alumni Mentorship Program!
The program has been designed to provide students the ability to connect with alumni mentors for new insights on career paths, academic program choices, and other professional guidance. All 1L and 2L students have access to the Career Services Symplicity platform system to begin searching for over 150 eager alumni mentors based on various criteria including practice area, geographic knowledge, race/ethnicity, gender/gender identity, or student group/journal participation during law school. Students may also make selections based on specific mentoring topics alumni indicated they’d like to discuss such as, family life during law school, LGBTQ or gender identity as a lawyer, or finding work-life balance, to name a few.
We highly encourage all 1L and 2L students to take advantage of this great opportunity to build lasting connections and gain valuable insight. For questions or concerns, please contact the Office of Student Affairs at law.studentaffairs@nyu.edu.

To All Students:
Just like last year, due to fire code capacity restrictions, we will be instituting a guest attendance policy for Fall Ball. While many of you expressed relief because the space was more comfortable and safer by limiting attendance to mostly NYU Law students last year, we also understand the importance of allowing for spouses/significant others to attend.
Although our space limitations prevent us from accommodating a guest for every law student who wishes to attend, we believe that opening up a limited number of spaces on a lottery basis for students who would like to bring a spouse/significant other is a good compromise.
This is how the lottery will work:
