People Who Study in Glass Law Schools...

Should turn the lights off once in a while?

Tribeca residents are complaining about the new New York Law School all-glass building near their homes because it's "like a giant Japanese lantern sitting on the corner," according to Andrea Tomasetti, whose living room sits 50 feet from the beacon.

Many residents now keep their blinds and curtains closed to avoid the light--an action that, of course, blocks off one of the selling points of their Tribeca neighborhood, the view.

At least one residents appreciates the light, though. Rebecca Cort likes the feeling of greater safety it offers.

Still, the school's dean and president, Richard Matasar, said they've "installed some timers and motion sensors" and they'll also turn off lights that aren't needed throughout the night.

Even law schools don't want to be bad neighbors.
