Founded in 1887, Cornell Law School is a top-tier law school, currently ranked 12th by U.S. News & World Report. Cornell Law offers a JD program, a one-year LLM program for international students, a one-year master of laws (LLM) in law, technology, and entrepreneurship degree at the Cornell Tech campus in New York City, an online MSLS program, and a doctoral (JSD) program. Cornell Law School’s nationally ranked faculty includes 41 tenured and tenure-track faculty and 15 clinical professors in the legal research and writing program and in clinics at the local, national, and international levels. The law school supports its students’ success through its unique combination of inspiring theoretical, doctrinal, and experiential teaching with cutting-edge scholarship in a supportive, intellectually rich community.
Under the direction of the registrar, the assistant registrar collaborates on a variety of responsibilities in the registrar’s office and is responsible for two key areas: 1) serving as the liaison between Cornell Law School and its two non-residential programs: the online master of science in legal studies (MSLS) Program and LLM Tech Program at Cornell Tech; and 2) coordinating and maintaining all course and class records functions for the residential law school degree programs, via the university’s PeopleSoft Student System and related registrar systems. The assistant registrar supervises the office’s administrative staff and represents the registrar in their absence.
