Celebrating over 80 years of excellence in legal education, St.
John’s University School of Law has produced lawyers who have
distinguished themselves in practice, government, and the
judiciary. Among its graduates are former New York governors Mario
Cuomo and Hugh Carey, Court of Appeals Judge Carmen Ciparick, and
the School’s former Dean and Court of Appeals Judge Joseph W.
Bellacosa. The law school plays a prominent role in the New York
City legal community, imbuing all that it does with the
University’s Vincentian tradition.
