Career services operations: Career planning is integrated throughout the CUNY Law experience and students take an active role in achieving their justice aspirations. We place a greater percentage of graduates in public interest/service employment than any other law school in the country. We also support graduates who go into small community-based practices through our nationally-recognized Community Legal Resource Network.
