The rivalry between Columbia Law School and New York University School of Law took on a new dimension Tuesday night, as teams from both schools fought on the basketball court in the first annual Dean’s Cup.
Columbia emerged as the winner of the charity event, which raised a total of about $40,000, to be split between the schools’ public interest law organizations. In a close contest held at Columbia’s Levien Gymnasium, the Columbia students defeated their downtown rivals 42 to 36. In a faculty game played at halftime, the NYU professors were defeated 12 to 7.
