Bringing the world to NYU and NYU to the world
Global problems need global solutions, and the Law School is leading the way on issues as diverse as international human rights, law and development, cross-border investment disputes and climate change. At NYU Law, students get direct exposure to global legal issues both in the classroom and beyond it.
The Hauser Global Law School Program, which brings leading law professors from around the world to teach at NYU, reflects the Law School's conviction that the practice of law has escaped the bounds of any particular jurisdiction. These Global faculty are joined by a diverse array of visiting researchers and scholars from other countries as well as more than 300 international students, including the top-ranking Hauser Scholars.
The Law School also sends students and faculty around the world to study, conduct research, lecture, and work with counterparts abroad to solve global legal problems. Opportunities abound for NYU Law students to study abroad in places like Argentina, South Africa, and China and to work abroad in Law School-sponsored internships at organizations such as the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Centers such as the Institute for International Law and Justice, the Center for Human Rights & Global Justice, the Center for Transnational Litigation and Commercial Law, and the Jean Monnet Center for International and Regional Economic Law & Justice sponsor conferences and activities involving NYU Law students and faculty, in New York and around the globe.
Our global programs complement the Law School’s unsurpassed array of courses, clinics and colloquia in international, comparative and foreign law and our specialized LL.M. programs in International Legal Studies, International Business Regulation, Litigation and Arbitration, and International Taxation, and our dual master’s program for business lawyers in Singapore (NYU@NUS).
Wikileaks, the frequent source or subject of front-page news stories, has added a distinctly modern spin to unauthorized disclosures of files and data. The Law School magazine gathers nine NYU faculty, fellows, and alumni with expertise in journalism, constitution law, and Internet law to discuss the ramifications for our civil rights and national security of Wikileaks and its inevitable offspring. more
In 2000, Moshe Halbertal, along with lawyers, generals, and other philosophers, worked with a standing army to draft a new Israeli military code of ethics that would test their philosophical ideas in real life-and-death situations. More than a decade later, Halbertal continues to reinforce a code of conduct that allows for principled behavior in wartime by teaching ethics to commanders and lectures to platoons at the Israeli Defense Forces Command and Staff College. more
