Like Scrooge in Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” The New York Law Institute is being haunted by ghosts this Holiday season…. Spirits from the Research Past, Present, and even Future have made their presence known at our 9th floor location at 120 Broadway….
NYLI’s “Equitable” doorknob, historical & seasonally decorated –but not ghost-proof!

From all of us at NYLI (past, present, ghost or otherwise) –Sincere Best wishes for a Happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas, Joyous Kwanzaa and a healthy and prosperous New Year !!
