Plan Your Trip

Columbia Law School is located on the main campus of Columbia University.  The main Law School building, Jerome L. Greene Hall, is located on the northeast corner of Amsterdam Avenue and West 116th Street in Manhattan.  The Office of Admissions can be found on the fifth floor of William and June Warren Hall, which is located at 1125 Amsterdam Avenue, between West 115th and 116th Streets.

There are several ways to get to Columbia Law School: 

By Air:

LaGuardia Airport is the closest airport to Manhattan and taxi fare to Columbia Law School is approximately $25.  Bus service (the M60 city bus) from LaGuardia Airport to the Law School is also available.

JFK/Newark (Liberty International) Airports are slighter greater distances from Manhattan, and taxi fare to Columbia Law School from either airport is approximately $50.  Private bus service to the Port Authority Bus Terminal and to Grand Central Station in Manhattan is available.  Free Airport Shuttle service to the subway (take the A train to Columbus Circle/59th Street, then transfer to the 1 train to Columbia University/116th Street) is also available but takes a considerably longer time.  You can now also take the economical and efficient AirTrain monorail service from both JFK and Newark (Liberty International) Airports.
