Building something new is hard. Building it with the right resources, the right network and a community behind you is a whole lot easier. 💜

This week, the NYU Law startup community came together for the 4th annual NYU Law Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Program (EVC) Fall Showcase, bringing together students and alumni at every stage of their ventures to celebrate what our founders have accomplished and rally behind what they’re building next.

One presenter, Cassandre Davilmar, the founder behind Lakou Cafe, took the stage to share lessons learned after eight years of building. “It can be really confusing to watch someone leave law to pursue entrepreneurship, especially after graduating from a top school like NYU Law. But it is clear that EVC sees that the future is increasingly entrepreneurial, and that supporting, investing in, and nurturing our whole community builds a stronger ecosystem.”

That belief is why NYU Law is the only top law school with its own venture fund. We don’t just cheer on our founders; we invest in them. 🚀

It started with a color TV, a summer in Mississippi, and a Saturday brunch. 📺☀️🥞

Three groups of NYU Law alumni from the classes of ‘83, ‘95, and ‘07 look back on the 1L friendships that turned out to be among of the most meaningful things they got out of law school. Decades later, those friendships have formed the basis of 41 years of ski trips, the foundation of a nonprofit, and even a spreadsheet tracking visits to of every apple orchard they’ve visited. 🍎

"Becoming a lawyer was a late decision for me. I had intended to become a teacher until halfway through my junior year of college...However, during my first placement as a student teacher, I discovered that the students I wanted to support were often absent from the classroom...Although I am proud of the positive impact I was able to have on my students’ lives, I felt that my influence was limited by policy and structural barriers that I could not control as a teacher. This realization led me to pursue law school, hoping to address the broader policies that I believed most affected my vulnerable students."

“'How long do you mean to be content?' That question should resonate in the mind of every student, every professor, every lawyer, every judge, every public official in today’s strange and difficult world," said Maine Governor Janet Mills at the 30th annual Attorney General Robert Abrams Public Service Lecture. She reflected on her time as governor during a tumultuous period in law, her legal education, and her time running for a Maine senate seat earlier this year.

A year ago, an NYU Law center found the legal field's equivalent of true internet virality: an essay written for the NYU Democracy Project on the unitary executive theory was called a "bombshell" in the New York Times and drew mention in party briefs and oral arguments for Trump v. Slaughter at the Supreme Court.

The Democracy Project is one of three new initiatives at NYU Law taking on issues of governance around the world, joined by the Center for Law and Public Trust and the Rule of Law Lab. While each has a different focus, they originated from a common concern: Around the world, democracy and the rule of law have been taking a drubbing. We spoke with the leaders of these initiatives—Vanita Gupta ’01, Bob Bauer, Samuel Issacharoff, Richard Pildes, and Amrit Singh—about their concerns and hopes: https://www.law.nyu.edu/news/magazine-2026-democracys-defenders (Illustration by Alex Nabaum)
