In this season of Thanksgiving, the Center for New York City Law has so many things to be thankful for. As 2015 winds down, our events and publications are enjoying record breaking successes this year.
Without the kind and generous support of our donors-individuals like you-the Center for New York City Law would not be what it is today. For this we thank you.
During this time for giving, we ask you to support our Center’s successes. There are so many worthy causes out there, and like you, we are asked to support many of them, too. I hope that you continue to make the Center for New York City Law at New York Law School, our students and our civic minded programs, one of your highest philanthropic priorities. I ask you to be as generous as you can and please know in advance how grateful we and our students are to you.
