Dean's Message

Welcome to Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center.  As you look through the wealth of information on our website you will discover a dynamic institution that is at the forefront of legal education in this country, truly producing graduates who are practice ready to enter the profession.  Our alumni include prominent judges, members of the NYS Legislature, local government officials, partners in leading law firms, successful solo practitioners, public interest lawyers and in-house counsel for major companies. 
 
Our students have the unique opportunity to take advantage of the first-ever law campus in this country - a law school adjacent to and working with both a federal courthouse and a state courthouse. Touro Law students also benefit from a new state-of-the-art facility and a new curriculum that blends the academic rigors of the classroom with the real-life experience of the courtroom.  Touro Law Center students also gain valuable experience while completing their pro bono obligations, through participating in one of our clinics and/or through work at the only law school-based public advocacy center in the U.S.  Our students also have the opportunity to become better global practitioners through participation in one or more of our popular summer programs in countries including Croatia, India, Vietnam, Israel, Germany or China.
 
It is a privilege and an honor for me to be part of the Touro Law Center community. It is truly a place that prepares students with the skills required to succeed in a changing profession. 
 
The atmosphere here is vibrant and the programs and opportunities offered at this law school are innovative, many of which you will not find elsewhere. I hope you will take the time to get to know us better. Explore our web site and learn about our educational program, our faculty who are respected teachers and scholars, our students, our successful alumni and more. I am confident you will be glad you did.
