For Trevor Morrison, the former Columbia Law professor who recently took up the helm as dean of New York University School of Law, the move from Morningside Heights to Greenwich Village was an exciting jump from one top-ranked school to another.
"They're both great schools, they both have great faculty, great student bodies," Morrison said. "They have different strengths. I don't know if I would make any of these a point of huge contrast, but NYU's reputation is terrifically strong in a lot of areas, including, over the last few years, being a real leader, being the leader, I think, in the conception of a global law school."
