NYLS joins the nation in mourning the loss of President Jimmy Carter.
In October 1985, President Carter delivered the inaugural Mario Biaggi Lecture on Human Rights at New York Law School. He was then awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree.
For more details about President Carter’s remarks and to view photos from the event, see the Winter 1985 issue of New York Law School In Brief. Additional photos are available here and here.
A student review of the lecture can also be found in the New York Law School Reporter.
The library will be closed on Tuesday December 24 and Wednesday December 25 and will reopen on Thursday December 26 from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. We wish you a safe and happy holiday!

We’re excited to share some good news with you: The Mendik Library has a brand-new group study room for your use—L204! (Excuse what we hope will be just temporary furniture.) Whether you’re working on a group project or prepping for finals, we hope this new space becomes another one of your go-to spots. Just a quick reminder: this room follows the same guidelines as our other study rooms.
As always, if you have any questions, suggestions, or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you, and we’re rooting for your success!
Happy studying! Looking forward to seeing you in L204!
