Academic Programs

Center for Social Justice

The Center for Social Justice provides students with real-world legal preparation through one of the most comprehensive clinical and pro bono programs in the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area. CSJ’s programs serve law students in much the same way that internships help transform medical students into physicians. Under the supervision of clinical professors, students work through all phases of a case, from start to finish, providing invaluable experience that complements, and often transcends, classroom lessons.
