    COMMEMORATION A TRIBUTE TO THE FORDHAM JUDICIARY: A CENTURY OF SERVICE* Constantine N.

From the beginning, the phrase associated with Fordham Law School has been “In the Service of Others.”1 Fordham graduates earn this phrase not * This article is dedicated to Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Although she is not a graduate of our school, she received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Fordham University in 1984 at the dedication ceremony celebrating the expansion of the Law School at Lincoln Center. Besides being a role model both on and off the bench, she has graciously participated and contributed to Fordham Law School in so many ways over the past three decades, including being the principal speaker at both the dedication of our new building in 1984, and again at our Millennium Celebration at Lincoln Center as we ushered in the twenty-first century, teaching a course in International Law and Relations as part of our summer program in Ireland, and participating in each of our annual alumni Supreme Court Admission Ceremonies since they began in 1986. Indeed, at last year’s Supreme Court Admission Ceremony in Washington, D.C., where she was the luncheon speaker, I bestowed upon her the unofficial honorary title “First Lady of Fordham Law School.” I would also like to thank Kirit Amichandwala, Stuart M.

  • Trading Liberty for Security?
    CONFERENCE REPORT Trading Liberty for Security? CONFERENCE REPORT Trading Liberty for Security? Presented on Thursday, October 2, 2003 at Boise State University, Boise, Idaho Author: Marc C. Johnson President The Andrus Center for Public Policy ©2003 The Andrus Center for Public Policy This document is available in PDF format at www.andruscenter.org. Introduction In the post-September 11th world, are Americans trading their liberty for their security? How does an open society reconcile the inevitable clash that occurs when our notions of freedom come into conflict with a government’s desire for secrecy? Those issues were the focus of a major conference on October 2, 2003 in Boise, sponsored jointly by the Andrus Center for Public Policy, the Frank Church Institute, and the Idaho Statesman. The day-long conference featured presentations from nationally-syndicated columnist David Broder, former Vice President Walter F. Mondale, and former U.S. Senator Slade Gorton. Also participating was a group of current and former public policy-makers, academics, legal scholars, and journalists. From that conference, we have produced the report that follows, one that we think summarizes the key points that were made and the lessons that were learned. Our goal in presenting the conference was not to attack or defend the current national policies but to create a balanced, informed discussion to illuminate and educate. We believe we achieved that goal. Cecil D.
