Columbia Law School (often referred to as Columbia Law or CLS) is a professional graduate school of Columbia University, a member of the Ivy League. It has always been ranked in the top five law schools in the United States by U.S. News and World Report.[4] Columbia is especially well known for its strength in corporate law and its placement power in the nation's elite law firms
Columbia Law School was founded in 1858 as the Columbia College Law School and was known for its legal scholarship dating back to the 18th century. Graduates of the university's colonial predecessor, King's College, include such notable early-American legal figures as John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States, and Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, who were both co-authors of The Federalist Papers.




Columbia has produced a large number of distinguished alumni, including US presidents Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, nine justices of the Supreme Court of the United States;[10] numerous U.S. Cabinet members and presidential advisers; US senators, representatives, and governors; and more members of the Forbes 400 than any other law school in the world.[11]




According to Columbia Law School's 2013 ABA-required disclosures, 95% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation, with the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile starting salary for graduates all being $180,000 (including the standard first year associate bonus of $15,000 this figure rises to $195,000).[12][13][14]The law school was ranked #1 of all law schools nationwide by the National Law Journal in terms of sending the highest percentage of 2015 graduates to the largest 100 law firms in the US (52.6%).
