Well, among my kid’s friends–and said kid is a recent LS grad–NYU is viewed as a better school than Columbia. Kid’s friends tend to be very lilberal, and my understanding–I’ve NO personal knowledge–is that NYU is better for clinical courses or at least clinical courses likely to lead to jobs working for public interest organizations. Since more NYU grads go into public interest immediately, that may well be true.

I live in NYC, so my view is local, but most people I know here view the law schools as pretty equal.

And, for what it’s worth, ColumbiaPostBac, I don’t see how taking courses at Columbia School of Continuing Education qualifies you to opine in the difference in the quality of NYU’s and Columbia’s LAW schools.
