All of the law schools in New York and New Jersey had returned to class as of November 5, but it wasn’t entirely business as usual. At a number of institutions, students and faculty were doing what they could to assist people who had been suffered losses during Hurricane Sandy. 

Thirteen schools in the New York City area opened their libraries to faculty and students at partner schools who could not reach their home campuses. The consortium included Brooklyn Law School; Columbia Law School; Fordham University School of Law; New York University School of Law and both law schools associated with Rutgers University.
