FACULTY appointments
Cardozo Welcomes Six New Professors The hiring of new faculty members is one way to think about the future of Cardozo. This year the law school hiring committee, chaired by Professor Stewart Sterk, identified six professors, the largest number of new faculty members since the law school’s founding faculty were hired in the 1970s and early 1980s. Together, these esteemed professors represent the next phase of growth for our community. The faculty voted to admit each of the six, an expression of faith that they will contribute to Cardozo’s legacy of serious academic scholarship and teaching excellence.
