HUTCHINS HALL, RooM 100 -ANN A.RBoR, MICHIGAN THE THOMAS M. COOLEY LECTURES

HOMAS M. CooLEY was one of the leading figures in nineteenth­ T cen tury American law and legal scholarship. He was a member of the first law faculty at the University of Michigan, which was assembled in 1859, and was appointed Dean of the Law Department in 1871. From 1864 to 1885 judicial service as a member of the Supreme Court of Michigan was added to his academic duties. Cooley is perhaps most frequently remembered today for his remarkably influential treatises, especially his works on Torts and Constitutional Limitations. In 1887 he was appointed first Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commis­ sion by President Grover Cleveland. The Thomas M. Cooley Lectureship was established by the faculty of The University of Michigan Law School in order to stimulate research and to communicate its results in the form of public lectures. The Lectureship is supported by the William W. Cook Endowment for Legal Research.

He heads the firm of Botein, Hays, Sklar and Herzberg, and is currently serving as President of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. On January I, 1969, he resigned as Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, Supreme Court of New York, First Department, having been appointed to that position by Governor W.

He has since been awarded the honorary LL.D. from New York University, Yeshiva University, the Jewish Theological Seminary, and Brooklyn Law School. Mr. Botein's career has been closely associated with the administration of justice. He served for seven years as Assistant District Attorney for New York County. In the 1930's he headed the city-wide Accident Fraud Investigation and the State Insurance Fund Investigation. In 1940 he was Chief Counsel in an investigation of state printing prac­ tices. The following year he was appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of New York by Governor Herbert Lehman. Mr. Botein's leadership in the improvement of criminal justice administration is widely recognized. He is Trustee of the Vera Institute of Justice, and played important innovative roles in the Bail Project and the Manhattan Summons Project. He is Director of the New York Legal Aid Society and the National Legal Aid and Defender Association. He has been a moving figure in a host of other successful projects for civic improvement. Among the awards conferred on him for distinguished service are the Medal of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, the Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone Award, and the 1970 Gold Medal Award of the New York State Bar Association.
