Columbia Law School

Columbia Law School is the law school of Columbia University, a private Ivy League institution located in New York City. Established in 1858 as the Columbia College Law School, the institution has deep roots in American legal education, tracing back to the 18th century when King's College, Columbia's colonial predecessor, educated notable figures like John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States, and Alexander Hamilton.

The school has an extensive legacy of distinguished alumni, including two U.S. presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, along with numerous Supreme Court justices, Cabinet members, and senators.
