Professional Clothing Drop

G81 Myron Taylor Hall
Do you have professional clothing (suits, ties, jackets, skirts, winter coats) in your closet that no longer fit or that you just don’t wear anymore?  The Cornell Law School Women’s Law Coalition will take those items off your hands.  Law students are always in need of professional attire for interviews and will put your clothing to very good use.  Please consider packing your ‘gently used’ professional attire and drop your items off anytime between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. in G81, Myron Taylor Hall.  You will not only be caring for a law student in a way you’ve never imagined, but you’ll be creating space in your suitcase to take home some Cornell Store purchases. 

Open House

Drop by the Admissions and Financial Aid Office (115 Myron Taylor Hall), the Career Services Office (128 Hughes Hall), the Clinical Programs Office (133 Hughes Hall), and the Student Affairs Office (126 Hughes Hall) to meet staff and students and learn more about their operations and services.

Recorded Program – “To Do the Greatest Good: Cornell Campaign”

Back to Class CLE Program – “The New Immigration Regime: Restrictions, Outcomes & What’s Next”

Myron Taylor Hall, Landis Auditorium, Room 184
Immigration has been a top priority in President Trump’s second term. The administration has restricted immigration in many ways, ranging from travel bans to mass deportations. The White House has stated that the United States may have negative net migration to the United States for the first time in over 50 years.

In the meantime, employers face labor shortages. The demographics of an aging population and declining birth rates are indisputable. More people worldwide are fleeing the breakdown of civil society, climate change, and persecution than ever before. Over 10 million people in the United States lack immigration status and fear deportation. And our immigration courts face a backlog of nearly 4 million deportation cases.

Join retired immigration law professor Stephen Yale-Loehr, AB ’77, JD ’81, clinical professor of law Jaclyn Kelley-Widmer and former immigration judge Angela Munro, to learn how immigration law and policy have changed so far and what we might expect in the next 12 months.

Attendees are eligible to receive 1.0 NY CLE credit in the area of Professional Practice. Attorneys who practice outside New York may be eligible for reciprocal CLE credit. This program is appropriate for in-person transitional and non-transitional attorneys, and for remote non-transitional attorneys.

Back to Class CLE Program – “Building Solutions to Legal Information Challenges”

Myron Taylor Hall Room 184
This joint presentation by the Cornell Law Library and the Legal Information Institute will examine contemporary challenges to accessing legal information faced by both legal professionals and the general public. Topics will include barriers to access arising from the privatization of traditional governmental functions such as legislative and regulatory drafting, the challenges inherent in court filing systems doubling as information retrieval platforms, and the obfuscation of legal information when accessed through commercial search engines such as Google. More than just identifying problems, though, the presentation will describe the work being done at Cornell and elsewhere to overcome these barriers to free and open access to legal information.

Our esteemed presenters include Anna Russell, Deputy Director, Cornell Law Library and Craig Newton, JD ’07, Co-Director, Legal Information Institute

Attendees are eligible to receive 1.0 NY CLE credit in the area of Ethics. Attorneys who practice outside New York may be eligible for reciprocal CLE credit. This program is appropriate for in-person transitional and non-transitional attorneys, and for remote non-transitional attorneys.

Reunion Breakfast and Book Talk: “Myron Taylor: The Man Nobody Knew”

Myron Taylor Hall, Landis Auditorium, Room 184
Myron Taylor was one of the most consequential Americans of the 20th Century. In the early part of the Century, Taylor dominated American business – first as the czar of the textile industry, and later CEO of U.S. Steel. Thereafter, he served as President Franklin Roosevelt’s “Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary” to the Vatican during World War II.  And in that role, Taylor was at the epi-center of eight or nine of the most important geopolitical issues of that era.

You are cordially invited to meet the author, C. Evan Stewart, AB ’74, JD ’77, who will discuss his recently published book, “Myron Taylor: The Man Nobody Knew,” and answer questions about Taylor’s life and times, including his many contributions to Cornell Law School.
