 The General Counsel serves as the College's chief legal officer, and performs the following functions:
- provides general legal counsel to the President, the College's other officers, and the Board of Trustees, and advises on the legal ramifications of College policy and decision-making.
- performs the traditional functions associated with in-house counsel including the negotiation of contracts; advice on human resource matters; review of relevant state, federal and local laws and regulations, and provides the functions of a general-practice law.
- engages and supervises the work of outside law firms, taking into account both the nature of the services they can provide and the fees they charge. Once engaged, the General Counsel insures that services are provided in a manner that serves the College's interest.
The Office's objectives are to advance the mission of the Barnard College,
and to provide useful and timely legal advice in support of that mission.
