Touro Law Center

Touro Law Center Welcome to the official page for Touro University Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, located in

Touro Law Center was established in 1980 as part of Touro College, a private, not-for-profit, coeducational institution based in New York City. Founded under Jewish auspices by its first President, the late Dr. Bernard Lander, the College was chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York in 1970. The College derives its name from Isaac Touro and his sons, Judah and A

braham. Judah and Abraham were generous 19th Century philanthropists whose commitment to academic excellence, social justice and community service represent the ideals to which the College is dedicated. In April 1986, the Law Center was officially named the Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center in honor of Judge Jacob Fuchsberg, a distinguished litigator who served as an associate justice of the New York State Court of Appeals – the state’s highest court – from 1975 to 1983. Touro Law Center moved to its Central Islip location in 2007, adjacent to and working with a federal courthouse and a state courthouse. It is the first law campus of its kind in the country, and our curriculum not only addresses all aspects of law in today’s changing world, but capitalizes on the proximity of the courthouses. In addition, our 185,000-square-foot building is a state-of-the-art facility with enhanced technology, classrooms, study spaces and more.

A rainbow over campus feels like more than just a beautiful moment—it’s a powerful reminder of hope, encouragement, and transformation. 🌈

Rainbows have long symbolized a divine connection, the promise of better times, and a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. Whether you see them through a spiritual, cultural, or scientific lens—or a blend of all three—their appearance is always a reason to pause, look up, and take in something extraordinary in the everyday.

They also remind us of personal growth—that even challenges can lead to meaningful, positive change.

As finals begin, let this rainbow be a sign of resilience, clarity, and a little extra luck. Good luck on finals—you’ve got this.
