“ As a Cardozo alumna, member of the faculty for over twenty years, and now dean of this great law school, I know first-hand the importance of your generosity. Your gifts have impact. Each gift to the law school makes a difference in the life of a student who, as a Cardozo graduate, betters the life of countless other people. You make it possible for Cardozo to continue to educate the kind and quality of lawyers that society needs: smart, thoughtful, creative problem solvers, armed with an understanding of legal theory and mastery of core skills, committed to confronting the issues of the day and determined to make a difference.”

A LETTER FROM THE DEAN Dear Cardozo Community, Thank you for your generous and spirited support of Cardozo. This 2014–15 Annual Report of Giving is a celebration of your commitment to the law school’s innovative approach to legal education. Your contributions have ensured that our students have the necessary resources and opportunities to shape successful and meaningful careers. As a Cardozo alumna, member of the faculty for over twenty years, and now dean of this great law school, I know first-hand the importance of your generosity. Your gifts have impact. Each gift to the law school makes a difference in the life of a student who, as a Cardozo graduate, betters the life of countless other people. You make it possible for Cardozo to continue to educate the kind and quality of lawyers that society needs: smart, thoughtful, creative problem solvers, armed with an understanding of legal theory and mastery of core skills, committed to confronting the issues of the day and determined to make a difference. This is an important moment in legal education and at Cardozo. In the past five years, national law school enrollment has declined by approximately 50%. At Cardozo, like at all law schools, we are facing challenges about how to continue to best educate and prepare future lawyers in light of this development. We are meeting the challenge head-on by reducing class size to maintain the quality of the student body.
Of course, this affects the amount of resources available to us, including the amount of scholarship funds available to offer to those who seek to pursue their dream of a legal education. Your gifts have been critically important to ensuring that we have the means to navigate successfully through these challenging times. Because of you, we can continue to be entrepreneurs in legal education. We have created new skills courses and experiential learning opportunities. We have launched our new Fashion, Arts, Media & Entertainment (FAME) Center and The Data Law Initiative (CDLI), and we will soon be announcing a new center that will unite under one umbrella all of our programs oriented toward social justice and public service. Cardozo is thriving and we have our alumni and friends to thank for that. Together we continue to take Cardozo to new heights. I am deeply grateful to each of you, our law school alumni and friends, whose names are listed on the pages in this book. Thank you for saying ‘yes’ to Cardozo. Thank you for your profound impact on every student, on every program and center and on our faculty and alumni. With many thanks and appreciation,
Melanie Leslie DEAN AND PROFESSOR OF LAW

Alumni and Friends Raise $4,400,000 for the Law School What is the impact of your philanthropy? In fiscal year 2015, you—our alumni and friends—raised $4.4 million for Cardozo. You made a significant impact on the life of the law school: on the academic, clinical and skills programs we offer our students and on the overall array of resources available for our students and our alumni. Each year, because of how you choose to designate your gifts, you shape and guide the resources available to the law school. Please take a look at how your gifts touched and changed the lives of our students, alumni and ultimately, the clients they serve.

THE INDIE FILM CLINIC— THE LAURIE M. TISCH ILLUMINATION FUND New York is the best city in the world for film, a hub for documentary filmmakers and the second largest region in the country for the independent film industry. With a generous gift from the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, Cardozo is keeping the industry’s growing legal needs in focus through expansion of our Indie Film Clinic, the only law school clinic of its kind in New York. The clinic has grown dramatically in the last year—a 66 percent increase in enrollment and an 87 percent increase in new clients. The clinic’s clients have included filmmakers whose work has been screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, South by Southwest, MoMA, Lincoln Center, and at international festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Rotterdam. New technologies, alternative media and increasingly complex licensing issues are rapidly changing the industry. Cardozo students are developing practical legal skills while they assist indie filmmakers in avoiding the legal pitfalls that plague the production and distribution process. The clinic was honored last year in PreLaw Magazine and The National Jurist as one of the top 15 most innovative law school clinics in the country. It was featured as well in a number of publications including The National Law Journal. And, at the premiere of Ido Mizrahy and Geoffrey Gray’s documentary film GORED at the Tribeca Film Festival, Cardozo students were thrilled to see their work acknowledged as the film credits scrolled. The clinic was launched in 2011. Director David Morrison has guided the students’ work on more than 60 film projects and has assembled an Advisory Board of prominent legal and industry professionals, including film producers and artists. Board members, including Ryan Harrington, Director of Acquisitions, Documentaries & Specials, Discovery and Cardozo alumni Gregory Slewett ’02, partner at Bloom, Hergott, Diemer, Rosenthal, LaViolette & Feldman LLP and Jonathan Golfman ’03, Senior Vice President, Head of Film Business & Legal Affairs, Media Rights Capital, contribute their time and considerable talents to the clinic. Demand, from students and potential clients, increases every year. The Tisch Illumination Fund’s gift has helped the clinic grow and advance its mission: to strengthen New York City as a center of independent film production; expand access to quality legal services to NYC’s community of indie filmmakers and provide the next generation of Cardozo lawyers with solid training in transactional practice.
“ We’re dedicated to improving access and opportunity for all New Yorkers. We’re proud to support Cardozo’s Indie Film Clinic, which brings value to law students, value to the creative economy of New York City, and provides support that is especially important for women and minority filmmakers who may not have the backing of high-end investors.” — L aurie M. Tisch PRESIDENT THE LAURIE M. TISCH ILLUMINATION FUND
“ There is increasing focus in entertainment law on the types of transactions we negotiate. Our students are learning flexible legal skills that will be applicable to many fields of practice.” — D avid Morrison DIRECTOR, THE INDIE FILM CLINIC VISITING ASSISTANT CLINICAL PROFESSOR
“ The clinic builds on Cardozo’s strengths and innovation in IP and now in tech law. The students represent artists in ways that really support our community.” — R ick Luftglass EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THE LAURIE M. TISCH ILLUMINATION FUND

“ As a Cardozo alum, I am proud of the education I received, and grateful for the many life-long relationships cultivated while in law school. I want to help provide a similar opportunity and experience for others. I know Cardozo will ultimately play an equally meaningful role in their lives as it has in mine.” —KEN WEISS ’88 Stephen L.

FASHION, ARTS, MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT LAW (FAME) CENTER Fame beomes us. Cardozo is the place where fashion, the arts, media, entertainment, sports, digital technologies and emerging global legal issues— disrupting business as usual—intersect. This year, we brought together Cardozo’s strengths and history of leadership in the creative industries to launch the Fashion, Arts, Media & Entertainment Law (FAME) Center. Co-directors, Barbara Kolsun ’82, the author of the first legal textbook on fashion law, and Lee Sporn, Senior Vice President, Business Affairs, and General Counsel and Secretary at Michael Kors (USA), Inc., have engaged an impressive advisory board. It is a veritable who’s who of industry leaders—Viviane Eisenberg, Senior Vice President and Chief Counsel of HBO, Marc Porter, Chairman of Christie’s America, David Zimmerman, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of the National Hockey League, Valerie E. Radwanter, Deputy Chair, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, Lois F. Herzeka, Partner, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, and Cardozo graduates Jeffrey Goldfarb ’02, Director of Strategic Planning, G-III, Richard Perkal ’81, Managing Partner, Perkal Street Partners, and Waleed Diab ’04, Senior Counsel, Google Music. FAME’s programs include an Art Law Field Clinic, the annual Music Law Symposium sponsored by the GRAMMY foundation, The Indie Film Clinic, Fashion Law Practicum with FIT, our annual Law and Fashion Symposium and externships with the most influential brands in FAME industries: Kate Spade, Calvin Klein, CBS, Viacom, SONY Music Entertainment, Sotheby’s, Lincoln Center, Condé Nast, News Corporation, Chanel, Prada, MTV, Reuters, and ESPN. Every FAME industry is impacted by emergent technologies and Cardozo’s innovative Tech Startup Clinic and newly expanded Data Law Initiative, coupled with our renowned Intellectual Property and Information Law (IP) program, help Cardozo set trends. FAME Co-Director Barbara Kolsun is also co-editor of the first casebook in fashion law, based on the curriculum developed at Cardozo. She and Lee Sporn are expanding new partnerships with leading New York institutions including the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and Parsons The New School for Design. Cardozo offers more courses related to the creative industries than any law school in the country, and FAME represents an exciting area of growth for the school. We are training a new generation of lawyers equipped to handle the intricate and complex demands of the entrepreneurial economy from the runway to the hockey rink, the big screen to mobile apps.

“ The world is vastly different now from when I graduated from Cardozo. We are not only keeping up, but anticipating industry needs. Cardozo graduates will be prepared to deal with the complex, fast-changing challenges facing creative industries. FAME has given us a home to unite areas of the law in which Cardozo has exerted leadership.” — B arbara Kolsun ’82, CO-DIRECTOR, FASHION, ARTS, MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT (FAME) LAW CENTER, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR OF LAW
“ Advisory Board members said they had never heard of anything like FAME, and they wanted to be part of it. We want top students from across the county to be a part of FAME, as well. We have made the program so compelling that potential students will realize Cardozo is the only place to be. Scholarships are essential to recruit students with the talent and desire to continue innovating.” — L ee Sporn, CO-DIRECTOR, FASHION, ARTS, MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT (FAME) LAW CENTER, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR OF LAW, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, BUSINESS AFFAIRS, AND GENERAL COUNSEL AND SECRETARY AT MICHAEL KORS

“ Cardozo is making a critical contribution to the evolving legal landscape. John Quincy Adams said that if your actions inspire others to dream, learn, and do more, you are a leader. Cardozo has always been at the forefront of legal education inspiring others to do more. I hope by contributing to add to that leadership.” —IRA SCOTT DIZENGOFF ’92*

ANNUAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION DINNER 2015 There can be no doubt—we’ve arrived. Cardozo alumni are influencing the law, impacting communities across the nation, and contributing to innovation in legal education. Proceeds from the 8th Annual Alumni Association Dinner support Bridge to Practice Public Service Fellowships enabling Cardozo graduates to obtain experience in the public service sector and launch their careers. The monies raised at the dinner enabled us to increase Bridge to Practice Public Service Fellowships by 70 percent. More than 400 people attended the event at the Pierre Ballroom in Manhattan on January 13, 2015. Alumni from every class donated their time and talents as members of the 2015 Alumni Association Dinner committee, led by Chair of the Cardozo Alumni Association, Alissa Makower ’92, vice president and senior counsel for CBS Inc. and dinner co-chairs Mark Yagerman ’79 of Smith Mazure Director Wilkins Young & Yagerman PC and Jeffrey Mailmen ’09, Legislative Director, Office of new York, City Council Member Elizabeth S. Crowley. The Dinner honored both leaders in the alumni community and builders of the school: the Justice Tanya R. Kennedy ’92, acting Supreme Court Justice and Supervising Judge of Civil Court, New York County; Marc Lieberstein ’92, partner, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP; and Professor Monroe E. Price, Cardozo’s second Dean from 1982 to 1991.
“ Bridge to Practice Public Service Fellowships now celebrating its 10th year, has helped hundreds of young alumni to obtain invaluable legal experience in public service and launch their careers. The money raised at The Annual Dinner will have great impact in the lives of our alumni.” — S haron Ashley Lewis ’87, DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI AFFAIRS

“ I made a donation this year to demonstrate my confidence in Dean Melanie Leslie. Cardozo’s greatest asset is its all-star faculty, and I am thrilled that Cardozo has selected one of its own to lead the school toward what I know will be a bright future. I believe that all Cardozo graduates will be able to say, as I have, that they have learned from the greatest legal minds.” —SARAH FARHADIAN ’13

CARDOZO LAW INSTITUTE IN HOLOCAUST AND HUMAN RIGHTS (CLIHHR) There is a long waiting list of students every fall to secure a spot in Cardozo’s Human Rights and Atrocity Prevention Clinic, the signature program of the Cardozo Law Institute in Holocaust and Human Rights (CLIHHR). The challenges in mass atrocity prevention and response in its aftermath grow increasingly complex, needs continue to mount,—and there are few institutes in the United States like CLIHHR. The institute’s 2015 expansion marked a turning point in Cardozo’s contribution and commitment to strengthening laws, norms and institutions to prevent mass atrocities and to hold accountable those responsible for these crimes. CLIHHR evolved from Cardozo’s Holocaust, Genocide and Human Rights Program, established in 2005. Professor Sheri P. Rosenberg ’94 served as CLIHHR’s first director. Over the last year, Cardozo faculty and students have significantly advanced their work—as Professor Rosenberg conceived it—“to prevent atrocities; protect populations; and rebuild during and after crisis.” Students in the Refugee Representation Project assisted Asylum Access Ecuador in successful refugee rights litigation before the Ecuador’s Constitutional Court, reforming laws to protect refugees fleeing violence. Our students drafted early warning analysis reports (early warning analysis is now accepted as a reliable methodology for identifying behaviors and actions likely to lead to genocide or other mass atrocities) for the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the Special Advisor on the Responsibility to Protect. And under CLIHHR Interim Director, Professor Carolyn Patty Blum, Cardozo has provided critical documentary support for litigation in the criminal case related to the 1989 Salvadoran military massacre of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter. CLIHHR and its predecessor have benefitted from the generous gifts of Ben Ferencz, talented and dedicated human rights attorney and a former prosecutor at the Nuremberg war crimes trial. In honor of his mentor, Telford Taylor, principal prosecutor at Nuremberg, Mr. Ferencz established both the Telford Taylor International Human Rights Clinical Teaching Fellow and the Telford Taylor Visiting Assistant Clinical Professor Law position at Cardozo to advance the work of the Institute.

“ We’re teaching transferable skills applicable to any field of the law. Our students’ experience, and their commitment to justice, will serve their clients and society in any work they undertake.” — C arolyn Patty Blum, CLIHHR INTERIM DIRECTOR, VISITING CLINICAL PROFESSOR OF LAW
“ The Telford Taylor Fellowship was an incredible gift. It is an honor and privilege to contribute to creating a new generation of human rights attorneys.” — J ocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum, TELFORD TAYLOR FELLOW (2013–2015), VISITING CLINICAL PROFESSOR OR LECTURER IN CLINICAL LAW (2015–2016)

The Public Service Auction raised $580,000, every qualified student who applied for a stipend was able to receive one, 260 students were given the opportunity to develop their legal skills and do otherwise uncompensated work in all areas of public interest law; providing increased access to justice to underrepresented individuals and communities. It was a lively night at Cardozo on April 1, 2015. Nearly 400 law school alumni, parents, students, faculty, administration and staff came together to bid on a terrific array of prizes (items and services), generously contributed by—once again—all members of our community. There was something for everyone, from tech products, great dinners, theater, music and sports opportunities, to high-end event packages. Opportunities to spend time with faculty through special experiences were particularly popular. There is a reason why the event brings out so many members of our community year after year. The Public Service Auction represents the best of Cardozo and our deeply held commitment to social justice issues, to educating lawyers who shape policies and work to advance justice in our nation and around the world.
“ I had a great opportunity to work with inner city Brooklyn youth who need and deserve help and guidance. It would not have been possible without the stipend. I believe that education really can help these kids, and I want my legal education and skills to help improve their lives and options.” TEREL WATSON ’16 One of Terel’s professors at CUNY, Sara Schechter, retired family judge law and adjunct professor at Cardozo, encouraged Terel to attend Cardozo. She knew that it would be a great match for him. It was the dynamic, intellectually vibrant environment Terel was looking for. Between college and law school, Terel worked with high-school drop-outs who were working hard to turn things around. Last summer, with the support of a Cardozo public interest summer stipend, he served in the School Advocacy Bureau of the Brooklyn’s District Attorney’s Office. 26
“ Every summer with the support of Public Interest Summer Stipends, Cardozo students help communities in desperate need. Our students do phenomenal work and employers tell us that they are sad when the internships are over. Students develop a valuable skill set that will help them succeed in any area of the law they pursue.” — L eslie Thrope, DIRECTOR, CARDOZO CENTER FOR PUBLIC SERVICE LAW

PAUL PESCOVITZ ’17 wasn’t sure he wanted to attend law school, but one visit to Cardozo convinced him—he found great passion and a warm, tight-knit community. He wasn’t sure either, at first, about a career in public interest law. But his experience as a Public Service Scholar helped him gain a new perspective on the social and ethical issues implicit in the law. He served as an intern in the Urban Justice Center’s Street Vendor Project engaged in work he says he might have “gone 100 years in NYC without doing” without the stipend.

amazing experiences that we could not pursue without the support. My fellowship experience made me a better lawyer and solidified my decision to work in a resource poor region.” MICHAL GROSS ’14 had meaningful work as a political activist, but she wanted to have a direct impact on people’s lives. She chose Cardozo because she knew the school’s clinics would help her develop the skills to pursue this goal. When she was awarded a Bridge to Practice Postgraduate Fellowship, she made another important choice, to work in a rural community in upstate New York where legal services are insufficient to meet community needs. That experience led to her current job as an Assistant Public Defender in La Plata, Maryland, another rural region where she serves a community with limited access to critical legal resources.

STRENGTH OF SOCIAL JUSTICE PROGRAMS: A NOD TO KATHRYN O. GREENBERG ’82 The definitions of generosity (according to Webster’s New World College Dictionary) are synonymous with Kathy Greenberg ’82, our alumna, past Cardozo Board of Overseers Chair and current Board Chair Emerita. They are nobility of mind/magnanimity and willingness to give and share. One can easily identify an endless array of important programs (including the Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic), student resources (including scholarships) and law school building renovations and brick and mortar improvements that Kathy has made possible over many years at Cardozo. Kathy’s confidence in Cardozo is boundless and her impact on so many aspects of life at the law school is profound. The thread that runs through Kathy’s unselfish ‘willingness to give and share’ is that (1) she believes deeply in helping to build an institution of excellence while expanding opportunities for our students and (2) she believes in providing equal opportunities for all and most especially increasing access to justice to the underrepresented. As the founder of New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG), her dedication to advancing social justice programs is clear and strong. Not surprisingly, Kathy’s magnanimous spirit this year was felt deeply by the law school’s social justice programs. Her leadership shaped a host of initiatives this year and two in particular. Our Public Service Auction, an effort that was named for Kathy a number of years ago, would not have been the success it was if not for Kathy’s involvement and guidance. She was also an impassioned voice in the establishment of the Bet Tzedek 30th Anniversary Toby Golick Fund, in recognition of Professor Toby Golicks’s multitude of contributions to the Bet Tzedek Clinic and to the entirety of the clinical education program at Cardozo. Toby Golick, who retired this year, was director of both. Kathy’s advocacy and her willingness to give and share, once again, have underscored her own and Cardozo’s ethos to, as Kathy has described it, “help society’s most vulnerable people to receive the highest quality legal representation.” To contribute to the Bet Tzedek 30th Anniversary Toby Golick Fund, please go to: cardozo.yu.edu/BTgiving

RULE CHANGE IS PRO BONO GAME CHANGER A NOVEL WAY TO MAKE A GIFT TO CARDOZO There is no greater proof that the law evolves than the evolution of laws governing attorneys rights and responsibilities. In May, the Rules of the Chief Administrator (22 NYCRR Part 118) were amended broadening the categories of pro bono services and financial contributions that may be reported and making reporting on biennial registration forms—which has been mandatory since 2013—anonymous. Attorneys are still required to report their lawrelated pro bono hours and charitable donations in a separate statement from their registration forms, but they will report the information anonymously. This stands true even if reportable pro bono hours and contributions are zero. The modifications to the mandatory reporting framework were intended to promote pro bono work and include an expansion of public service categories on the new reporting form. When considering fulfillment of pro bono hours or making financial contributions, consider Cardozo. Donations or hours of volunteer service devoted to several Cardozo clinics will now qualify as reportable contributions: The Kathyrn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic, the Youth Justice Clinic, The Bet Tzedek Clinic, the Criminal Defense Clinic and the Civil Rights Clinic. More than 65 students enroll in these clinics annually, serving hundreds of clients who could not afford legal representation without our students’ service and the generosity of our alumni and donors. Here is a novel way to fulfill your pro bono hours and to make a charitable contribution: Donate the equivalent of an hour of your billing rate or more: Make a gift to support Cardozo’s important and qualifying clinics.

“ This a great opportunity for alumni to have an impact in an area in which Cardozo has always been a leader and which is a critical part of our students’ education. There is no mandatory requirement to perform pro bono services or make financial contributions, but doing what’s right, not just what’s required, is a true Cardozo value.” — J oel Strauss ’92, PARTNER, KAPLAN FOX & KILSHEIMER LLP

RISING TO THE LAW FIRM CHALLENGE: “ We endowed a scholarship with the generous match of the firm for which I work—Weil, Gotshal and Manges LLP—optimizing the gift’s impact. We wanted a lasting gift because Cardozo’s influence and importance is lasting, as well. Our gift is intended to help reduce student debt so that talented students can have the flexibility they need to choose an appropriate career path.” —JACQUELINE AND GARY T. HOLTZER ’90*
In 2014–2015, under the leadership of David Herman ’00, a partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, the Law Firm Challenge continued the consistent growth it has demonstrated over its 10+ year history with 67 firms participating, representing a 15 percent increase over the number of firms competing last year. The success is a reflection of the ever growing numbers of Cardozo alumni practicing at law firms around the country and the world and a reminder of the importance of strengthening our relationships with our alumni and expanding our network within the legal community. The Law Firm Challenge is a great way to support the law school, increase alumni participation, and connect with your Cardozo community. Thank you to the Law Firm Challenge agents who volunteer their time to help encourage their Cardozo colleagues at their individual firms to make an annual contribution to Cardozo in friendly competitions with their counterparts. The increasing numbers of participants is a true testament to the commitment of Cardozo alumni to the future success of the law school. The winners of the 2015 Law Firm Challenge are: n

ENDURING LEADERSHIP—REMEMBERING PROFESSOR SHERI P. ROSENBERG A force of nature. That’s how colleagues and students describe Professor Sheri P. Rosenberg ’94 (1967–2015), founder of Cardozo’s Human Rights and Atrocity Prevention Clinic—the first and only law school clinic of its kind— and Director of the Cardozo Law Institute in Holocaust and Human Rights (CLIHHR). Sheri developed and led clinic projects that resulted in landmark victories for minority rights combating racism, discrimination and intolerance across the globe. She and her students successfully advocated for, and represented, victims of violence and intolerance including thousands of refugees in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ivory Coast of Africa and Ecuador. The daughter of Holocaust survivors, Sheri was driven to transform inspirational ideas into legal rights for thousands. She inspired students to pursue careers in human rights and genocide prevention. Sheri lectured worldwide; she served on the Board of the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation and regularly presented at its Raphael Lemkin Seminar for Genocide Prevention in Oswiecim, Poland. Sheri was a Consultant to the U.N. Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and authored the genocide prevention chapter in the U.N. training manual. She produced an award-winning documentary, Nuremberg: Reflection and Resonance, which traced Nuremberg’s influence on modern international tribunals. Sheri organized an international symposium at Cardozo culminating in the first textbook to address the theoretical, policy, and practical issues on atrocity prevention (Reconstructing Atrocity Prevention, Cambridge University Press, 2015). Sadly, Sheri did not live to see the book’s publication in 2015 or to accept the Outstanding Educator Award from the Anne Frank Center USA. Her legacy endures and will continue to inspire Cardozo students to work for change.
“ Appreciating the dark lessons of history without being responsive to the future world violates the memory of the past. With profound compassion for the victims of genocide and other mass atrocities, we pursue our work with scholarly rigor, passion and commitment.” — S heri P. Rosenberg ’94 (1967–2015), CLIHHR FACULTY DIRECTOR, ASSOCIATE CLINICAL PROFESSOR OF LAW
“ There are people whose voices stay with us urging us to fight harder to eliminate abuse and violence. Sheri is one of those people for me. She defended the voiceless. She helped me understand the power and purpose of the law.” — A frodite Fountas ’15
For those interested in making a gift in memory of Sheri, her family has requested that gifts be made to the Cardozo Law Institute in Holocaust and Human Rights. Please visit: cardozo.yu.edu/clihhr/donate

“ The integrity of the practice of law depends on attorneys from different backgrounds with different interests. I contribute to the Gates Scholarship because it helps expand the pool of lawyers and helps make something possible that can change a person’s life and, ultimately, change all of us.” —PAMI G.
