A Message From the Dean
Dear Alumni and Friends,
My first year as Dean has been filled with challenges and opportunities.
The changing landscape of the legal profession and legal education has
caused us to rethink how we prepare students for careers in the law.
Toward this end, we have placed a renewed emphasis on skills development and opportunities for our students to gain real-world experience.
We have launched new programs — such as our Gitenstein Institute for
Health Law and Policy, our Disaster Recovery Clinic and our semesterlong D.C. externship — and have established new scholarships to continue to attract outstanding students to Hofstra Law.
These innovations and resources are made possible through the generosity of our alumni and friends, and for that I am extremely grateful. This
Donor Report allows us the opportunity to thank you and demonstrate
how your gifts to Hofstra Law are making a difference.
Throughout the year I have come to know the Hofstra Law community
better and have seen how the involvement of our alumni and friends
impacts all aspects of what we do. Like all great institutions, Hofstra
Law relies upon its community to make it stronger and more successful.
Your financial support enables us to recruit bright and motivated students who will be exemplary lawyers; to have an impact on those in need
in our surrounding neighborhoods through our clinics and pro bono student activities; to encourage initiative among our students by helping
to fund their organizations, new ideas and efforts to help their fellow
students; to develop innovative programs that focus on new and growing
areas of the law; to go beyond the basics of classroom teaching to bring
thought leaders to the Law School to inform our students and faculty and
the legal community; and to support our faculty in their own scholarly
endeavors.
Beyond your financial support, your active service as organizational
leaders, volunteers, event hosts, mentors and speakers further bolsters
Hofstra Law and provides invaluable support to our students.
You are truly our partners in shaping Hofstra Law and growing its reputation. I thank you again for all that you do and hope that we can continue to rely on your commitment and support.
With appreciation,
Eric Lane
Dean and Eric J. Schmertz Distinguished Professor
of Public Law and Public Service

SCHOLARSHIPS
Perhaps no gift has a greater impact
than that of a scholarship. For the
student, it means the chance to pursue
a legal career and achieve a significant
and, in many cases, lifelong goal.
Scholarships enable us to attract top
students in an increasingly competitive
admissions environment and reward
those students who have excelled.
In 2012-2013, 58 percent of our
students received Law School
scholarship support. Donors helped
to provide scholarship assistance
through their gifts to named
endowed scholarships, named
annual scholarships, the Law School
Scholarship Fund, the Public Justice
Fellowships and the Annual Fund.

Disaster Recovery Clinic
In response to Superstorm Sandy’s devastating
impact on Long Island, Hofstra Law established our Disaster Recovery Clinic under the
direction of Professor Michael Haber. The
clinic engages 2L and 3L students in providing
legal assistance, under supervision, on a wide
range of issues affecting individuals and local
small businesses as they recover from Sandy.
The clinic was made possible through generous
grants from the Robin Hood Foundation and
the Long Island Community Foundation.
Veterans Legal Clinic
The students of Hofstra Law’s Veterans Law
Student Association demonstrated their commitment to helping address the legal service
needs of Long Island’s veterans by organizing a
Veterans Legal Clinic at the Law School in April
and November of 2013. Organized in cooperation with the Nassau County Bar Association,
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano
’87 and the Nassau County Veterans Services
Agency, the clinic was open to all veterans at
no charge and provided free consultations with
attorneys who specialize in VA benefits and
claims, family law, Social Security disability,
employment, USERRA, housing, bankruptcy,
debtor/creditor matters, landlord-tenant disputes, elder law, tax, wills, estates, Medicare
and Medicaid, and more. The students were
instrumental in enlisting the volunteer attorneys, counselors and advocates and conducted
intakes. To date, the clinic has provided more
than 150 veterans with free legal services.
Occupy Wall Street
Independent Study Clinic
Hofstra Law students were also the inspiration
for the development of our Occupy Wall Street
Independent Study Clinic. The clinic was an
outgrowth of conversations between Professor
Stefan Krieger and two students in his evidence
class who wanted to do something to highlight
the issues being raised by the protesters. The
clinic was a collaborative effort that involved
faculty in the Criminal Law, Community and
Economic Development, Mediation, and Youth
Advocacy clinics. Eventually, the faculty and
students decided to focus their efforts on
representing an individual protester who was
arrested and beaten in the demonstrations.
Ultimately, the case — the first Occupy Wall
Street case against the City of New York in U.S.
District Court — was settled, and a new case
has just been filed.
Hofstra Law in D.C.
Externship Program
In the fall of 2013, Hofstra Law began offering
a full-time, semester-long externship program in Washington, D.C., for third-year law
students. The program, organized by Scott
Glick ’81, program director and a senior counsel in the National Security Division of the U.S.
Department of Justice, allows students the
opportunity to work as unpaid legal externs at
an approved congressional committee, federal
government agency, or nonprofit or public
interest organization. In addition, Glick leads
a weekly seminar that explores constitutional,
statutory and regulatory issues from multiple
perspectives. Among the special guests are a
panel of alumni working at various agencies in
D.C. The inaugural student group includes:
Stephen Atwell, U.S. Department of Justice,
Environmental and Natural Resources
Division, Environmental Enforcement Section
Allison Baxter, American Bar Association,
Center on Children and the Law
Lauren Murphy, National Labor Relations
Board
David Pratt, Office of U.S. Representative

Student Activities and Services
The Annual Fund enhances the student experience
by supporting the programs and activities of student
organizations, assisting trial teams in traveling to and
participating in competitions, funding professional development programming, and supporting events that bring
alumni to campus to share their law school and career
experiences. Hofstra Law also receives designated gifts
that provide additional funding for student activities.
Professional
Success and
Leadership
Development
Hofstra Law’s Professional Success and
Leadership Development program, now
in its fourth year, teaches students how to
communicate their unique skills, abilities and
leadership styles to differentiate themselves in
an increasingly competitive and entrepreneurial
legal marketplace. The program’s signature
event is the annual Success Strategies Boot
Camp, which focuses on teaching students
how to develop persuasive oral and written
communication skills, understand different
communication styles, present themselves
in a polished and professional manner and
prepare for interviews so as to make the best
impression. This program has been generously
funded by a gift from Roberta Karp ’83.
Milestone Journal
Anniversaries
Gifts to the Annual Fund supplement student
activity fees so that organizations can host
special events, particularly those that engage
alumni with an affinity to their group. In fiscal
year 2013, both the Hofstra Law Review and
the Hofstra Labor & Employment Law
Journal celebrated milestone anniversaries
— their 40th and 30th, respectively. On
October 15, 2012, the Law Review presented a
wonderful evening in New York City celebrating
the impact of the journal and the work of its
contributors and staff in creating a publication
that has made its mark on the legal community.
Former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft
was the special guest speaker. The Labor &
Employment Law Journal held its event on
February 7, 2013, at Dechert, hosted by alumnus
Andrew L. Oringer ’84. The event brought
journal alumni together and featured Mark
Gaston Pearce, chairman of the National Labor
Relations Board, and David B. Feldman ’82,
founding editor-in-chief of the journal.
Mock Trial
Competitions
This past year, students successfully competed
in several mock trial competitions. In June
2013, Kaitlyn Flynn 3L won second place at
Baylor Law School’s 2013 Top Gun National
Mock Trial Competition. In October 2013,
Kaitlyn, along with Jana McNulty 3L and
Eleni Aristo 3L, won the Peter James Johnson
National Civil Rights Trial Competition, the
only national civil rights trial competition in the
country. The students received training from
Adjunct Professor Jared Rosenblatt ’03 and
Professor Barbara Barron ’84, the director
of the Trial Techniques Program and Student
Advocacy Programs, and faculty advisor for the
Moot Court Board.

Innovation
The Maurice A. Deane School of Law began with a vision
to be a different kind of law school. The development
of clinics and other skills-development programs, such
as Trial Techniques, were the earliest examples of our
innovative approach to legal education. That focus
continues today through new programs that address the
most pressing issues of the day while giving our students
unique opportunities to advance public policy and
legislation, explore cutting-edge legal developments and
meet the very real needs of our surrounding communities.
Gitenstein Institute
for Health Law and
Policy
In April 2013, Hofstra Law launched our
Gitenstein Institute for Health Law and Policy.
The institute’s mission includes developing
and implementing new methods for training
students in order to broaden access to quality
health care for everyone and to create a
more just health care system. In October,
the institute held its first major symposium,
“Affordable Healthcare’s Next Act,” which
explored the challenges the Affordable Care
Act presents, the opportunities it offers, and
the gaps it has failed to fill as well as the ones
it has newly created. The event was part of the
Garfunkel Wild, P.C. Thought Leadership in
Action Speaker Series, sponsored by the firm,
and featured partner Judith A. Eisen ’86.
The Gitenstein Institute, which is led by
Janet L. Dolgin, the Jack and Freda Dicker
Distinguished Professor of Health Care Law,
was established through a generous
$1 million donation from the Kermit Gitenstein
Foundation and the efforts of Gitenstein
Foundation head Steven Schlesinger ’76, a
Hofstra Law alumnus and managing partner of
the law firm Jaspan Schlesinger LLP.

Access to Justice
Incubator
With generous initial commitments from
alumnae Judith Livingston ’79, Lorna
Goodman ’75 and Elissa Epstein ’78, the
New York State Unified Court System and area
law firms, Hofstra Law is launching an Access
to Justice Incubator. This new legal services
center, where recent Hofstra Law graduates will
work under the supervision of an experienced
managing attorney, will further bridge the gap
in pro bono legal representation in several
critical areas of need for low-income individuals
and families in Nassau County. The incubator is
an innovative response to Chief Judge Jonathan
Lippman’s focus on the desperate need to
provide greater civil legal services for indigent
individuals in New York, as well as the Nassau
County Bar and judiciary’s recognition of this
problem in our own community. The incubator
will further serve as an apprenticeship program
to better prepare the next generation of the
legal profession for practicing law. Initially, the
postgraduate fellows will be trained to serve as
court evaluators and attorneys for individuals
alleged to be incapacitated for health care
decision-making, and provide representation
for individuals who are facing foreclosure on or
eviction from their homes.

Faculty Scholarship
Our outstanding faculty is among the most prolific and
often cited in the United States. A recent study by the
University of St. Thomas School of Law ranked Hofstra
Law No. 33 among law schools nationally for its scholarly
impact and No. 5 among New York state law schools.
Their work advances legal discourse, benefits our students
and brings renown to the Law School. In addition, through
our annual conference and lecture program, Hofstra Law
brings nationally known scholars and practitioners to the
Law School to provide a forum for exploring important
legal topics, and to benefit from their expertise.

John DeWitt Gregory
Research Scholar Program
To encourage and support faculty research and scholarship,
Professor John DeWitt Gregory endowed the John DeWitt
Gregory Research Scholar program at Hofstra Law. Through
the program, up to two faculty members are designated as a
John DeWitt Gregory Research Scholar every two years. The
core purpose of the research scholarship is to support faculty
members with a demonstrated history of scholarly productivity
who wish to engage in a significant scholarly project. The award
provides for the time and financial resources that allow faculty
members to pursue their research over the two-year period.
The John DeWitt Gregory Research Scholar position is open to
any non-visiting, tenured full-time faculty member. The John
DeWitt Gregory Research Scholar for 2012-2013 was Professor
Grant M. Hayden.
Donors
We are grateful to the many alumni, parents, friends,
law firms, foundations and corporations who help
support our mission through charitable contributions.
Thank you for your dedication.

Volunteers
Whether it is serving on the Alumni Association board or a
committee, contacting prospective students, participating
in a Career Services event, helping with reunion or aiding
our student groups, there are many ways for alumni to
get involved. Hofstra Law is grateful for the dozens of
volunteers who have given their time to improve the
educational experience and student life at the Law
School. By volunteering, alumni also affirm their pride in
their Hofstra Law degree and dedication to continuing to
move the Law School forward.
