APRIL 26-27, 2014
New York Law School welcomed back nearly 200 alumni at its annual Alumni Weekend held on Saturday April 26, and Sunday April 27, 2014. The weekend celebration began with the Dean’s Cocktail Party at one of New York’s most iconic locations, Battery Gardens, where we celebrated what makes New York Law School great—you! Photographers were on hand to commemorate the occasion with class photos.
Saturday’s events kicked off with an overview of existing immigration law and a discussion of the proposals for reform, presented by Professor Lenni Benson and Sophie Raven ’04, followed by the NYLS Alumni Association Annual Meeting, which featured the election of officers and directors for terms beginning July 1, 2014. Then, Professor Jethro K. Lieberman celebrated his appointment as Martin Professor of Law with a special lecture, followed by a Reunion Brunch in his honor.
The afternoon brought a choice of tours: the recently dedicated Honorable Roger J. Miner ’56 Reading Room in the Mendik Library, which houses all of the judge’s archives and memorabilia from his time on the bench; the impressive art collection generously donated by our alumni, including one of the world’s largest collections of artist Emilio Sanchez’s work, hosted by Linda Sosnowitz ’73; and the National September 11 Memorial, led by Dean Crowell.
In the evening we celebrated Homecoming and the fifth anniversary of our state-of-the- art new building, enjoying the one-of-a-kind views of New York City from our fifth floor terrace, and gambling for great prizes at our annual casino night.
