  Columbia Law School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Columbia Law School, located in New York City, is one of the professional schools of Columbia University, a member of the Ivy League, and one of the leading law schools in the United States.
Columbia College appointed its first professor of law, James Kent, in 1793, but the formal instruction of law was suspended for some time before a revival of interest and the formal establishment of the law school in 1858.
Columbia Law School’s main building, Jerome L. Greene Hall, was designed by Wallace Harrison and Max Abramovitz, architects of the United Nations Headquarters and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (which for many years served as the site of Columbia Law School's graduation ceremonies).
