Building on been working independently and in pairs on different parts Street Law and other programs, he plans to have New York of the application, meeting every two weeks with Professor Law School students teach and mentor the high school Marsico to present their findings. students, and to connect them with summer internships and employment opportunities in the legal field.

Henry is developing other sections of the application, including the school’s calendar, disciplinary policies, and recruitment and admissions policies. He and his colleagues have received guidance from an organization called the New York Charter School Incubator (NYCSI), which advises planning teams throughout the process of applying for and establishing a charter school. NYCSI’s services include providing templates and sample applications, and holding training sessions on how to secure funding, find space, and build a school team. The New York Law School team is looking for ways to raise funds to continue working with NYCSI going forward. In the meantime, its members are relying on their research skills and background experience to inform their process. send it to everybody, and when I go to trainings I get copies of the materials for everybody and share the information.

Professor Arthur S. Leonard Honored on 30th Anniversary of Lesbian/Gay Law Notes

n November 3, 2010, New York Law School honored Professor Arthur OS. Leonard on the 30th anniversary of the publication of Lesbian/Gay Law Notes, a monthly newsletter that chronicles developments in LGBT law. Professor Leonard established the newsletter as the official publication of the Lesbian and Gay Law Association Foundation of Greater New York (LeGal), which he founded in 1978 as New York’s first organization of lesbian and gay lawyers. LeGal co-hosted the anniversary celebration.

Professor Leonard declared the event “a wonderful occasion,” where many readers | indicated that “Law Notes was important in helping them to grasp the broad range 44 of issues that were being litigated on gay rights.” The only publication of its kind in the country, Law Notes is extensively cited as a key resource for understanding the legal issues that confront the LGBT community.

Reflecting on the evolution of the newsletter, founded during the emergence of the AIDS epidemic, Professor Leonard said, “The pages ofLaw Notes during the early years were filled with accounts of losses, [but] these days there is a more encouraging balance.” Among the many cases covered by the publication, two pivotal 14th Amendment Supreme Court victories stand out in his memory: Romer v. Evans (1996) and Lawrence v. Texas (2003). These, he said, “have transformed the LGBT community from ‘strangers to the law’ to important players in the ongoing development of U.S. constitutional law.” Professor Leonard continues to write and edit the majority of each issue, reporting on similar landmark decisions.

Professor Sydney M. Cone III Retires from Faculty and Center for International Law

fter 15 years of service to New York Law School, Professor Sydney (Terry) AM. Cone III has transitioned to Emeritus C.V. Starr Professor of Law and Emeritus Director of the Center for International Law. Professor Cone joined the faculty in 1996 as the School’s first C.V. Starr Professor of Law (endowed by The Starr Foundation) and the founding director of the Center for International Law.

Professor Cone was instrumental in broadening the Law School’s work in international law. “There was no single place to help guide the study and practice of international law,” he said. “In creating the Center, I hoped to bring my experience and perspective to the Law School in this area.” That experience includes nearly 40 years (the majority as partner) at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, where he was resident in the firm’s New York, Washington, D.C., Paris, and Brussels offices, and helped open its offices in Frankfurt and Moscow.

Along with teaching courses in international business transactions, finance, and economic law, Professor Cone helped to develop the School’s international law honors program and International Associates Program. Under his direction, the Center began to publish its award-winning newsletter, The International Review, on global legal topics.

Professor Cone also created the C.V. Starr and Otto L. Walter Lectures, which continue to bridge the theory and practice of law. “Lecturers including Anne-Marie Slaughter [the Dean of Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School] and Eric Kandel [a Nobel laureate] have provided the faculty and students with invaluable insights,” he noted. | 45 a lumni events

But New York Law School claimed him for a final curtain call in the fall of 1992, when he returned as visiting Martin Professor of Law to co-teach a constitutional litigation seminar with longtime associate Arthur Kinoy.
