ILLUSTRATION: GETTY IMAGES ILLUSTRATION: NYU PHYSICIAN SPRING 2013 1 MESSAGEFROMTHEDEAN&CEO Because It Is Brain Surgery LONG BEFORE I BECAME DEAN & CEO OF NYU LANGONE MEDICAL CENTER, I began a residency in neurosurgery. Though I eventually changed course, deciding on the field of radiology, I never lost my fascination, my respect, my awe, for the mysteries and marvels of the human brain. Indeed, that passion for neuroscience steered me toward neuroradiology as a subspecialty. So while I try not to play favorites, I must admit that neurosurgery and neurosurgeons, whom I’ve consulted with closely for many years, hold a special place in my heart. I’m immensely proud of our Department of Neurosurgery, which has a long and distinguished history, and I’m delighted to see it featured in this issue. It’s a well deserved tribute to a remarkable team of surgeons. Fifty years ago, the late Joseph Ransohoff, MD, chair of our Department of Neurosurgery from 1962 to 1992, served as medical consultant to the pioneering TV series Ben Casey, whose title character was loosely modeled after the brash, brooding surgeon. For several consecutive years, U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospital Rankings has placed our program in neurosurgery among the top 10 in America. In the last two years, the Department has become even stronger, recruiting several outstanding neurosurgeons, some of them world-renowned for their expertise in certain subspecialties. What heartens me most about these master surgeons is their compassion and can-do attitude. As one of them puts it: “Many patients are told that their tumor is ‘inoperable,’ but then they come here and they survive.” I think you’ll enjoy this inspirational journey into their hearts and minds. • DEAN & CEO ROBERT I.

Robert C.

  • The Cost of Law School and the Burden of Law Student Debt a City Bar Association Program Held on April 27, 2004
    The Cost of Law School and the Burden of Law Student Debt A City Bar Association Program Held on April 27, 2004 Summary ABCNY’s Committee on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar has devoted considerable attention to issues relating to the cost of law school and the effects on law graduates of the substantial levels of debt incurred to finance legal education. The Committee has met with representatives of Access Group (the largest funding source for law student borrowings) and of Concord Law School (Kaplan Inc’s on-line law school). The Committee has issued its own report on the subject of law student debt, available on this website. On April 27, 2004 the Committee convened a panel of experienced educators to discuss both topics. The group included the ABA’s Consultant on Legal Education, who heads the ABA’s accreditations program, the President of Kaplan Inc., two current law school deans (NYU, Syracuse) and a former Cornell dean who is a pioneer in on-line legal resources. What follows is a lightly edited transcript of their discussion, some charts providing the basic statistics, and an abbreviated bibliography. Panel Discussion: The Cost of Law School and The Burden of Law Student Debt Transcript - ABCNY, 4/27/04 MR. BEHA: I’m Jim Beha, the current Chair of the Association’s Committee on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar. This evening’s topic is The Cost of Law School and The Burden of Law Student Debt. Perhaps not surprisingly, the financial resources of those entering law school have not increased significantly over the last fifteen years.

    Feud over shareholder activism pits Martin Lipton vs Harvard prof 4/9/13 REUTERS LEGAL 21:21:59 REUTERS LEGAL Copyright © 2013 Thomson Reuters April 9, 2013 Feud over shareholder activism pits Martin Lipton vs Harvard prof Alison Frankel A little more than a year ago, we told you about a relatively inflammatory exchange of posts at the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation. As the catchy name suggests, the blog typically publishes very valuable but somewhat dry academic papers and law firm client alerts on the esoterica of corporate law. But last March, Martin Lipton and a couple of his partners at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz livened things up with a memo chastising Harvard's Shareholder Rights Project, a clinic in which Harvard Law students assist institutional investors in pressing corporations to de-stagger their boards. The point of the project, which is led by Harvard professor Lucien Bebchuk, is to give shareholders a more prominent voice in board elections by permitting them to vote on all directors at once. Lipton and his partners argued that the de-staggering offensive exacerbated the destabilizing pressure of short-term, activist investor thinking. As we reported at the time, a Columbia Law School professor who served on the Shareholder Rights Project advisory board rushed to its defense, citing the valuable experience the clinic offers to students. We also reached out to Bebchuk, who told us that Wachtell's thesis was belied by empirical evidence of an association between staggered boards and lower corporate valuation. On Tuesday, the war of words between Lipton and Bebchuk flared again at the Harvard blog, with dueling posts by the Harvard prof and the Wachtell partner.
