History
The Law Department at Cornell opened in 1887 at Morrill Hall with Judge Douglass Boardman as its first dean. At that time, admissions did not require a high school diploma. In 1917, two years of undergraduate education was required for admission, and in 1924, it became a degree program. The department was renamed Cornell Law School in 1925. In 1890, George Washington Fields graduated, one of the first law school graduates in the United States. In 1893, Cornell had the first female graduate, Mary Kennedy Brown. The Governor of the Future, the Secretary of State, and the Supreme Court Justice of the United States, Charles Evans Hughes, was a law professor at Cornell from 1891-1893, and after returning to law practice he continued to teach at law school as a special lecturer from 1893-1895. Hughes Hall, one of the main buildings of law school, was named in his honor.
In 1892, the school was transferred to Boardman Hall, which was built exclusively for legal instruction. The school moved from Boardman Hall (now the Olin Library site) to its present location at Myron Taylor Hall in 1937. The law school building, an ornate Gothic structure, was the result of donations by Myron Charles Taylor, former US Steel CEO, and class member Cornell Law of 1894. Hughes Hall was built in addition to Myron Taylor Hall and completed in 1963. It was also funded by a gift from Taylor. Another addition to Myron Taylor Hall, Jane M.G. Foster wing, completed in 1988 and added more space to the library. Foster was a member of the 1918 class, an editor of the Law Review Law (then Cornell Law Quarterly ), and Order of the Coif graduate. In June 2012 the school started a three-year multi-phase expansion and renovation. The first phase creates additional subterranean classrooms, adjacent to Myron Taylor Hall along College Avenue. The second stage will include the deletion and digitization of printed materials from the library stack so that space can be converted to additional classrooms and student rooms. The third phase involves turning Hughes Hall into office space.
In 1948, Cornell Law School established a specialization program in international affairs and also began to reward LL.B. level. In 1968, the school began publishing the Cornell International Law Journal. In 1991, the school established Berger's International Law Study Program. In 1994, the school established a partnership with the law faculty of the University of Paris I to establish the Paris-based International Institute and Legal of Summer Comparisons. From 1999-2004 the school hosted the Feminism Project and the Theory of Law. In 2006, the school established a second summer law institute in Suzhou, China. The Clarke Program in East Asian Law and Culture was established in 2002.
Myron Taylor Hall sees the addition of 40,000 square feet of basement in 2012-2014. Hughes Hall has been renovated in 2017.
