Check for class cancellations.

New York Law School's policies regarding school opening or closing during weather-related emergencies are as follows:

I. WEEKDAYS WHEN CLASSES OR EXAMINATIONS ARE HELD

A. Day Division classes and examinations and other daytime activities

    Closed if New York City Schools are Closed:  
    New York Law School's status will be directly linked to the New York City Public School System- if the day session of the New York City Public School System is open, the Law School will be open. If the New York City Public School day session closes, the Law School day division classes and exams and other daytime activities will likewise be canceled.

    No Delayed Openings:  
    Sometimes the New York City Public Schools do not close but delay their opening. New York Law School will NOT follow this practice. When the public schools open on a delayed basis, the Law School will open, and classes, exams, and other activities will occur at the normally scheduled times.

 B. Evening Division classes and examinations and other evening activities

    If Closed for the Day, Closed for the Evening
    If the Law School is closed for day classes, examinations and other daytime activities, the School will also be closed for evening classes, examinations, and activities. Remember: if you know that the School has canceled all daytime activities, there is no need to call about evening classes, examinations or other activities for they will also be canceled.

    If Open During the Day but Conditions Worsen
    If the Law School is open for day classes, examinations, and other activities, but disruptive conditions are developing during the day, a determination whether to hold evening classes, examinations, and other activities will be made by 3:00 p.m......
