CUNY Law Blog
The CUNY Law Blog was created to serve as an information clearinghouse and outlet for community expression at CUNY. The goals of this blog are to encourage greater transparency in governance at CUNY Law School, to foster a better organized, more informed CUNY Law Community, and to be an outlet for CUNY Law students, faculty, staff and administration to express idea, events, and observations around campus.
