SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
Albany Law School has partnered with the SUNY Polytechnic Institute
Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering in a one-of-a-kind partnership
to offer courses—including Law & Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurship
in Nanoscale Technology — jointly taught by faculty from both schools.
As part of this partnership, students from both schools will bring nanotech
products to the market.
GOVERNMENT LAW CENTER
Through the oldest government law center in the United States, Albany Law
students provide entrepreneurial support to startup companies in New York
by hosting Startup Law Days, working with economic development organizations
around the state, and providing educational and legal support to entrepreneurs.
Albany Law students also research and write white papers on vital legal issues
as part of an ongoing publication series devoted to educating and assisting
early-stage companies in their business growth.
ALBANY LAW JOURNAL OF
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Since its inception in 1990, students have led the development of the Journal of
Science & Technology into a nationally ranked law journal. The extensive annual
legal periodic survey conducted by Washington and Lee Law School consistently
ranks the journal as one of the top student-led science and technology law journals
in the country. Journals are ranked according to their impact on the law, number
of citations by other journals, and frequency of citations in case decisions.
In 2008, the Journal of Science & Technology was ranked sixth in overall citations.
