A historic moment in New York Law School’s 126-year history came on December 27, 1974, when we received accreditation as the 133rd member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS).
Accreditation came just four months after submission of the school’s application, and made NYLS the first AALS-accredited law school not affiliated with a university.
