About Albany Law School:
Albany Law School offers a first-rate study of law in a close-knit, intellectually challenging academic community in New York’s capital. Please take some time and learn about what I believe is one of the nation’s finest law schools.
Our singular focus on the study of law, outstanding faculty, and location in the capital city of one of the nation’s most influential states translate into a superb education in the classroom and a wide range of opportunities for hands-on learning outside it.
Albany Law School’s location provides students with excellent opportunities to study and actively participate in the operation of state government. The Legislature, Court of Appeals, and numerous state agencies are located in close proximity, allowing for extensive clinical programs, internships and clerking positions that supplement classroom learning with practical experience.
About Albany: 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.
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.

Science & Technology Law Center:
The imperative need to assist research institutions in New York in their efforts to commercialize their technology and the enormous size and diversity of the technology sector in the State led to the creation of the Science & Technology Law Center (STLC) in 1998. Conceived as a resource for the entire state, the STLC serves the many private and public partners involved in building New York’s high-technology base.
