SUNY Cortland is a 7,000-student comprehensive college of arts and sciences located in the rolling hills of Central New York. It has been educating ambitious students since 1868, and has graduated more than 70,000 alumni success stories in fields ranging from education, science and business to athletics, entertainment and the arts. Providing a high-quality educational environment where students learn in the classroom, the community and beyond is our top priority. We are home to the largest and most-respected teacher education program in New York state, one of the country`s top Division III athletic programs, and an ever-growing collection of national honors and accolades for educational value, sustainability leadership, programmatic excellence and service to communities beyond campus. But the value of SUNY Cortland`s educational experience runs much deeper than that. Cortland helps shape the character, philosophy and attitude of its students as it expands their horizons far beyond the classroom. As a result, Cortland alumni think critically and independently. They`re not afraid to test perceived limits. They`ve developed the confidence to persevere in the face of challenges and to lead in times of crisis or confusion.

Columbia first established an in-house legal department in 1974. Before 1974, an outside law firm acted as counsel to the University. During this period any member of the University Community seeking legal services called directly on outside counsel. Starting in the late 1960`s, the cost of this uncontrolled use of outside lawyers became very high. To control these costs, the inside legal department (now the Office of the General Counsel) has since coordinated all outside legal services. As part of this control, outside law firms can be retained only by the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) and bills for outside legal services will be paid only if the work was initiated or approved by OGC. To assure the integrity and independence of these decisions and of the legal services rendered to the University, the General Counsel reports directly to the President and the Trustees. OGC represents the legal interests of the entire University, including such geographically separate entities as the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Rockland County, Nevis Laboratories in Westchester County, Reid Hall in Paris, and the entire Columbia Medical Center (formerly Health Sciences campus) in Washington Heights. At present the office consists of the General Counsel, the Deputy General Counsel, 19 Associate General Counsels, an Assistant General Counsel, 3 paralegals, a Director of Budget & Human Resources, business manager, file manager, secretarial and clerical support staff and student help. The entire office resides in Low Library. The ongoing legal business of the University involves a broad array of services in connection with financings, contracts, trusts and estates, real estate and tax matters, labor and employment issues, commercial litigation, clinical trials, and science and technology agreements and licensing. All OGC attorneys are experienced in handling contract and general business legal matters, and all have a broad capability to handle the great variety of legal problems which arise in the context of a large university with substantial financial interests and real property ownership, in addition to the human problems which arise in the context of a large and diverse community.
