The Deans' Cup is an annual charity basketball game between the law schools of Columbia University (CLS) and New York University (NYU). First held in 2002, the game raises money for public interest and community service organizations at both universities and is sponsored by many large New York City law firms. A game between faculty members of the two schools is held at halftime.
The 2006 game raised approximately $100,000 and was won by Columbia, 67-47. Columbia also won the faculty game 3-2.
The 2007 edition of the Dean's Cup will be held April 19th at NYU's Cole's Center. With NYU recently passing Columbia in the US News & World Report rankings, this year's contest is sure to be a heated competition.
