The New York Law School Center for Financial Services Law will begin offering courses and programs in the fall 2008 semester.[1]
The center will be led by Ronald H. Filler, managing director in the Capital Markets Prime Services Division at Lehman Brothers. Filler will serve as a professor of law and director of the center.
The center will expand the number of specialized financial services law courses currently offered to J.D. students and develop hiring and recruiting opportunities for students and alumni who have an interest in financial services law. It will also provide a forum to discuss regulatory reforms and current issues facing this global industry, create new educational programs for industry legal and business professionals, and will establish an LL.M. in Financial Services Law.
The new center comes at a time of growth for the law school as it expands its academic programs to meet the growing needs of students and on the heels of the launch of the law school’s Center for Real Estate Studies in February of 2007.[2]

Founded in 1891, New York Law School is an independent law school located in lower Manhattan near the city’s centers of law, government, and finance. New York Law School’s faculty of prolific scholars has built the school’s strength in such areas as constitutional law, civil and human rights, labor and employment law, media and information law, urban legal studies, international and comparative law, and a number of interdisciplinary fields. The school is noted for its seven academic centers: the Center for International Law, Center for New York City Law, Center for Professional Values and Practice, Center for Real Estate Studies, Center on Business Law and Policy, Institute for Information Law and Policy, and Justice Action Center.
Among the law school’s early lecturers were Woodrow Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes. The first class included James Gerard, who went on to serve as ambassador to Germany during World War I, and Bainbridge Colby, who became secretary of state under President Wilson. New York Law School has more than 13,000 graduates and enrolls some 1,500 students in its full- and part-time J.D. program and its Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation program.[3]
