Official Drink

Jim Beam was declared "the official drink" of NYU Law by its former Dean, Arthur Vanderbilt, after his famed visit to room 1907 of the Mercer Street Dormitory. During said visit, Vanderbilt violently abused Jim Beam, advancing the sport of drinking to nearly mythical proportions. It is rumored that he also poured copious amounts of the beverage atop his lavishly decorated fedora. During this epic foray of binge drinking, Vanderbilt came to the conclusion that NYU Law, being a law school in the public service, should have "an official drink with which the common man could identify; and there is no more common a man nor drink than Jim Beam."

Furman Hall

NYU's newest building, located on West Third Street between Sullivan and Thompson, was opened on January 22, 2004 and is named for a successful alumnus and donor, Jay Furman. It connects to Vanderbilt Hall through the law library, part of which is underneath Sullivan street. The underground level also hosts the lawyering faculty. Floors one-three have classrooms, lounges, and study space. The fourth floor hosts the career counseling program, and the fifth and sixth floors house the legal practice clinics. The highest floors, generally inaccessible to non-residents, are luxury apartments for faculty and their families. is the 22nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Vanderbilt Hall

The Law School's Main Building, it occupies the entire block between West Third and Washington Square South (West Fourth) and between Macdougal and Sullivan Streets. Part of the first floor as well as the underground floors host the library, which it shares with Furman Hall. The first floor also holds the auditorium, student center, and main banquet hall. The second floor is mostly classrooms, while the third and fourth floors are mostly faculty and dean offices.

Mercer Street Residence

Located at 240 Mercer Street, on the southern side of West Third street, adjacent to Broadway, and a couple blocks east of D'Agostino and Vanderbilt, the Mercer residence houses a few hundred students and faculty. Its rooms are slightly more spacious than those in D'Agostino Hall. The seventh floor enjoys a terrace. The basement is home to "Mercer Pub" (a study area that can also be reserved by student groups for social events) and several student-run organizations.

D'Agostino Residence Hall

Located at the intersection of West Third Street and MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village, this residence hall houses hundreds of students of the New York University School of Law, plus a very small number of faculty. It is across the street from the backside of the main building of the law school.

The lobby is a double-split-level. Elevators to the apartments are on the highest level; the security desk and Admissions Office are on the street level; and a residents' lounge unofficially known as The Pit is on the lowest level.

One floor beneath The Pit is the sub-basement, home to most of NYU's legal journals. Journal officers have been known to sleep in the sub-basement during busy periods. The second (above-ground) floor, until 2004, held the school's career services offices. Those offices have been relocated to Furman Hall, so the above-ground floors are now entirely student and faculty housing.

Each August, D'Agostino hosts "Early Interview Week", where more than 350 law firms conduct interviews for summer associate and entry-level associate positions. The top firms in the United States attend the interview session. Interviews are conducted in the temporarily uninhabited apartments.

D'Agostino Hall shares a name with the D'Agostino supermarket chain. The two are not named after the same D'Agostino, although both were noted Manhattan philanthropists. The law building is named after Filomen D'Agostino, one of the first woman lawyers, who graduated in 1920. Later in life, Ms. D'Agostino donated $4 million to support residential scholarship and faculty research; the school responded by naming their new apartment building after her.^[4] The grocery chain is named after Nicholas D'Agostino, Sr., an immigrant who founded the store in 1932 at age 22.

Centers and Institutes

NYU Law is home to many centers and institutes, specializing in various areas of law. The Center on Law and Security is an independent, non-partisan, global center of expertise designed to promote an informed understanding of the major legal and security issues that define the post-9/11 environment. Towards that end, the Center brings together policymakers, practitioners, scholars, journalists and other experts who might not otherwise meet to address major issues and gaps in policy discourse and to provide concrete policy recommendations. Through its many activities, the Center generates local, national, and international awareness of the legal dimension of security issues, including the Terrorist Trial Report Card, a comprehensive study on every terrorism prosecution in the United States since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The World Trade Center on fire The September 11, 2001 attacks were a series of coordinated terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001. ...
