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.

The Lectureship is supported by the William W. Cook Endowment for Legal Research. THE LECTURER BERNARD BOTEIN is a distinguished New York lawyer, judge, and civic leader.
