The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law is the law school of Yeshiva University, located in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The school is named for Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo. Cardozo's success as a young school has been remarkable, leading some to characterize Cardozo as a "rising star" among law schools. Among the top 100 law schools, only two schools are younger than Cardozo, which graduated its first class in 1979. Cardozo is currently ranked 50th by U.S. News and World Report, which is the most widely read ranking of law schools.
