Cardozo School of Law : ウィキペディア英語版 | Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law is the law school of Yeshiva University, located in New York City. The school is named for Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo. Cardozo's success as a young school has been remarkable, leading some to characterize Cardozo as a "rising star" among law schools.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New York Law Schools )〕 Among the top 100 law schools, only three schools are younger than Cardozo, which graduated its first class in 1979.〔http://www.americanbar.org/groups/legal_education/resources/aba_approved_law_schools/by_year_approved.html〕 Cardozo is currently ranked 75th by ''U.S. News and World Report'' ranking of law schools. Its intellectual property program is ranked 6th, and its dispute resolution program is ranked 7th. While Cardozo is noted for its academic strengths in numerous areas of study,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )〕 its intellectual property and dispute resolution programs are particularly well-reputed and consistently ranked within the top ten in the country by U.S. News. The school introduced the Cardozo Data Law Initiative in 2013, building on its IP and Information Law strength and created a startup technology clinic building its program in business, technology and law. Also built on the School's IP strength is the FAME Center for fashion, art, media and entertainment law, which was established in 2014. The school is also home to the Innocence Project, run by Cardozo Professor Barry Scheck, which is known for using DNA profiling to help free innocent prisoners. The project is frequently reported on in the national news, and its work has been instrumental in some high-profile cases. Signifying its recognition by long-established law schools, in 1999 Cardozo became a member of the Order of the Coif, an honor society for law scholars.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=member chart )〕 Cardozo has seven faculty members who have clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justices and Cardozo has had two graduates chosen to clerk for the U.S. Supreme Court.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= 2005 Cardozo Graduate Sara J. Klein to Clerk for US Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, Yeshiva University News )〕 Cardozo was only the second U.S. law school to secure an invitation to The European Law Moot Court Competition competition, and the first American law school to be invited twice consecutively.〔http://www.cardozo.yu.edu/life/spring2003/around.campus/#Cardozo_Team_Competes〕 Many of Cardozo's 12,000 alumni reside in the New York metropolitan area, and they have a considerable presence in New York City, although many Cardozo graduates pursue their careers internationally and can be found across the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Office of Alumni Affairs )〕 In 2013, 88% of the law school's first-time test takers passed the bar exam, placing the law school sixth-best among New York's 15 law schools.〔()〕 According to Cardozo's 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 54.3% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation. == Namesake ==
Founded in 1976, the Law School is named for Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo. Cardozo, who was born in 1870 in New York City, was renowned for his integrity, social consciousness, and important opinions. Cardozo studied law at Columbia Law School from 1889–91 and subsequently rose to prominence during 23 years of private practice, becoming known as a lawyer’s lawyer before appointment to the New York State Court of Appeals in 1914. His tenure was marked by a number of original rulings, in tort and contract law in particular. This is partly due to timing; rapid industrialization was forcing courts to look anew at old common law components to adapt to new settings. He became the nation’s best known and most admired state court judge. He added to his reputation through highly acclaimed off-the-bench writings, of which the most important is The Nature of the Judicial Process (1921). Shortly thereafter, Cardozo became a member of the group that founded the American Law Institute, which crafted a Restatement of the Law of Torts, Contracts, and a host of other private law subjects. He wrote three other books that also became standards in the legal world. By asking, and answering, the monumentally simple question, “What is it that I do when I decide a case?”, he helped many see the judicial role with greater clarity. In 1932, President Herbert Hoover appointed Cardozo to succeed Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. on the Supreme Court. In his six years as an Associate Justice, he handed down opinions that stressed the necessity for the law to adapt to the realities and needs of modern life. The ''New York Times'' said of Cardozo's appointment that "seldom, if ever, in the history of the Court has an appointment been so universally commended." Democratic Cardozo's appointment by a Republican president has been referred to as one of the few Supreme Court appointments in history not motivated by partisanship or politics, but strictly based on the nominee's contribution to law.
