The school is located at 2 Court Square in Long Island City, Queens, a short subway ride from Manhattan, in a LEED-Gold certified building. Additional programs include City Counseling, through which alumni offer free legal consultations via legislative offices, and CUNY LawWorks, a co-working space for alumni starting solo or small-group practices.
