    New York University (NYU) School of Law

    Located in New York City’s incomparable Greenwich Village, NYU Law is an intellectual powerhouse with an outstanding curriculum that features 103 of the world’s best faculty, 329 courses, 39 clinics, 11 areas of study, more than 30 centers and more than 80 student organizations.

    The JSD is NYU School of Law’s most advanced law degree. It provides intense training in academic research, geared primarily to those intending to pursue a career in academia. The program prepares students to produce first-class scholarship with a view to a teaching career either in the US or elsewhere in the world. The commitment to this mission makes NYU School of Law one of the best points of entry into legal academia worldwide.

    Only a very small number of students who demonstrate outstanding academic promise are admitted to JSD candidacy. The articles and dissertations produced in the JSD program are typically published in the most prominent law reviews and professional journals, and by notable publishing houses.

    The program welcomes students interested in a range of legal fields related to the NYU Law faculty’s expertise, including International Law, Legal Theory, Tax Law, Environmental and Energy Law, Intellectual Property, Litigation and Arbitration, Competition Law and Corporations.

    Description The Law School is committed to enrolling a student body from a broad spectrum of society, with the strongest combination of qualifications and the greatest potential to contribute to the diversity and dynamism of the Law School community. To hear students and recent alumni talk about their NYU Law experiences, visit our new multimedia project, "The View from Washington Square."
    Scholarships NYU School of Law has moved away from the concept of the self-funded JSD student. All students admitted to the JSD program receive a scholarship equal to the amount of tuition and fees in addition to a stipend of $25,000.00 USD per year for three years, conditional upon satisfactory academic progress (admission to candidacy, completion of coursework, and presentation and participation in the JSD Forum). Maintenance of Matriculation and fees are covered by the tuition scholarship through the fifth year. In order to receive the tuition scholarship and stipend, JSD students in their first through third years must reside in New York City from September through June. Summer residence (July and August) is not required. Summer employment in July & August is permitted but must be approved by the student’s Dissertation Supervisor and by the Chairman of the JSD Committee.
