Remembering 9/11

September 11, 2024 marks the twenty-third anniversary of “9/11,” the horrific terrorist attacks on America that took nearly 3,000 lives.

New York Law School sits just blocks away from what became known as ground zero, the site of the former World Trade Center’s “twin towers,” which collapsed after being struck by two hijacked jetliners.

In the weeks immediately following the attack, NYLS students, staff, and faculty—eyewitnesses all—were asked to put their thoughts about what they had experienced that day on paper. These essays and reflections were compiled and published as Eight Blocks Away: Memoirs of September 11, 2001.

A PDF of Eight Blocks Away is available on the NYLS Digital Commons.  You may access it for free here.

Papercut – New student printing platform

We’re excited to welcome you back for the 2024 Fall semester! We wanted to let you know about PaperCut, a new student printing platform that introduces several enhancements to your printing experience:

  • The ability to print directly from a laptop (MacOS and Windows), tablet or phone, instead of emailing a print job to the print server.
  • Tap to release: Once you link your OneCard to the PaperCut platform, you can go to any of the PaperCut Konica Minolta printers in
    the Library or 5th Floor. Cafeteria, swipe your OneCard (or log in with your network information), and release your print jobs.
  • Web Print: This allows you to upload documents from your laptop while offsite, and then release and print them once you come to campus.
  • New equipment: All new PaperCut Konica Minolta printers/copiers.
  • Printing/copying and scanning instructions, including those for installing the necessary MacOs and Windows client, may be viewed at:
