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.

Civic Fame is the colossal, 25-foot tall gilded female figure in a flowing robe who stands barefoot on a sphere at the top of the Municipal Building overlooking City Hall. Civic Fame, created in 1913 by sculptor Adolph Weinman, carries a five-sectioned crown representing the five boroughs, and a shield and laurel branch representing victory and triumph.
On May 1, 2015, the statue also became the name of a new award by New York Law School. The annual Civic Fame award will honor individuals who have made significant and long term contributions to the civic life of New York City. The four initial honored awardees include a private business leader who accepted major civic assignments, a foundation executive who devoted herself to developing innovative civic programs, a Law Department lawyer who represents the best in the legal profession, and a younger NYLS graduate who has given special service to the Center for New York City Law. Each awardee received a unique certificate bearing the striking image of Civic Fame.
