The Law School was formally opened in 1887 and moved, along with the Law Library, to its current location in Myron Taylor Hall in 1937. The law school building, an orante, collegiate gothic structure, was a donation of Myron Charles Taylor, Cornell Class of 1894, one of the CEOs of US Steel. An addition to Myron Taylor Hall was completed in 1988. The Law School confers primarily Juris Doctor, or J.D., degrees following a three-year residential course of study, but also has a significant two-year master of laws, or LL.M., program that primarily serves international students. As of 2004, the Law School had 551 total enrolled J.D. students and 58 total enrolled first-year LL.M. students.
