The Dennis J.

Its premier fellowship program enriches the educational experience of students interested in careers in international business law.
Building upon our faculty expertise and New York City’s world-class science and healthcare communities, the Center has forged a dynamic environment for outstanding legal education, policy innovation and scholarship.

The Center for the Study of Law, Language and Cognition is devoted to exploring how developments in the cognitive sciences – including psychology, neuroscience and linguistics – have dramatic implications for the law at both theoretical and practical levels. The Center is the only one of its kind in the nation.
The Law School publishes four student-edited law journals: Brooklyn Law Review, Brooklyn Journal of International Law, Journal of Law and Policy, and the Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial and Commercial Law. These scholarly publications contribute to the intellectual backbone of the nation’s legal profession and are widely read by jurists, practitioners and scholars.
Throughout the academic year, the Law School hosts an extraordinary calendar of symposia, lectures, forums, and panel discussions sponsored by our centers of excellence, our fellowship programs, and our law journals. These programs draw distinguished speakers to the campus to engage in high-level discourse with faculty and students.
