Recently the New York State Court of Claims held session on campus. It was an incredible opportunity for Albany Law School students to witness the justice system in action without ever leaving the building.

Presided over by the Honorable Zainab A. Chaudhry ’98, this live session offered a front-row seat to real-time litigation, deepening students’ understanding of courtroom dynamics and the workings of the Court of Claims.

Experiences like this are just one of the many ways Albany Law sets itself apart, where legal education meets real-world practice.
