The Faculty of Law has litigation and appeals court departments. Each year, it enters about 30 teams in national moot court competitions. These competitions cover all areas of law, including family law, criminal proceedings, economic crime and international law.

A few blocks from campus is the U.S. District Court; United States Bankruptcy Court; United States Attorney`s Office; the Appeals Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; Family Court; the District Attorney for the District of Brooklyn; Kings County Court of Substitutes; the civil and criminal courts of New York; the Legal Aid Society; and many law firms and start-ups. Brooklyn Law School`s location is their laboratory, a backdrop for learning that few schools can replicate. Brooklyn Law School`s exchange program with University College Cork (UCC) offers two Brooklyn Law School students the opportunity each semester to study at UCC, a college founded in 1845 with a law school that is the university`s largest department.
