Albany Law School School

Albany Law School is able to offer 14 concentrations for J.D. candidates, as well as an L.L.M program, and joint J.D./M.B.A, J.D./M.P.A., J.D./M.R.P., J.D./M.S., and J.D./M.S.W. programs. Albany Law School's Schaffer Law Library holds a collection of over 620,000 volumes and equivalents, including videotapes of oral arguments before the New York State Court of Appeals dating back to 1989.

In 1875, Albany Law published the nation's first student edited law-review, the Albany Law School Journal. Currently, the school publishes three journals: Albany Law Review, Albany Law Journal of Science & Technology, and Albany Government Law Review.

Albany Law is the only law school located within New York's Capital District. This gives Albany Law students extensive access to internships and job opportunities. The State Legislature, New York Court of Appeals, The Appellate Division 3rd Department, countless state agencies, the Federal District Court for the Northern District of New York, the New York State Bar Association, and a large number of private law firms call Albany home. In addition, Albany Law School operates several public interest clinics providing students with hands-on legal experience. Some of the clinics available include the Health Law, Introduction to Litigation, Low Income Taxpayer, Civil Rights and Disabilities, Domestic Violence, and Securities Arbitration.

The Capital Region

Albany, the capital of New York state and seat of Albany County, is a superb location to live and study law. With a population of about 100,000, it is set in a metropolitan community of more than 800,000.

Albany Law School's location provides students with excellent opportunities to study and actively participate in the operation of state government.

In May 2006, Albany made Forbes magazine's annual "Best Places For Business and Careers" list. In fact, of the 200 metro-areas on the list, Albany was ranked No. 18 in the United States.
