Life at Yale Law School

“

One of the things that makes this job magic is the students. They’re unbelievably smart, the best lawyers you can imagine. But they care so deeply. And what always amazes me is they’re unfailingly modest about what they do.”

Heather Gerken

Dean and Sol & Lillian Goldman Professor of Law
