A Farewell Message From the Dean

I have a special feeling about the class of 1976, because we began our careers at Hofstra Law Schooltogether. On Orientation Day, when I welcomed you to the Law School, I expressed the hope that we would endour three years together with a sense of mutual respect, and even affection. I know that hope has come true forme, and would like to think that it has for you as well.

When we arrived here, an extraordinarily strong foundation had already been established by Dean MalachyMahon and by the faculty and students who had worked with him. Full accreditation, both from the AmericanBar Association and the Association of American Law Schools, had been achieved in record time. Since then,we have moved into the new building, expanded and strengthened our faculty, and enlarged the student body toour new capacity.

We have also grown considerably in reputation, not just in New York State, but throughout the country. Wewere singled out for special mention in the ABA's recent rating of law schools, in part because of our notableachievement in surpassing Boston University, Georgetown, and scores of other law schools that have had manyyears head start on us. In the last three years, Hofstra has received more favorable attention in the nationalnews media - newspapers, magazines, radio, and television - than perhaps any other law school. That publicrecognition has, in turn, added significantly to the Law School's strength. At a time when other law schools areleveling off or declining in admissions applications, for example, Hofstra is continuing to attract even moreand better applicants every year. Moreover, the prestige associated with Hofstra's name is helping us tomaintain an enviable record in graduate placement, despite a difficult job market.

Our reputation is a reflection of real substance. I doubt that there is another law school in the country that hasas consistently strong a teaching faculty, or a faculty that is as accessible to students out of class. Our clinicalprogram - now expanded to include two Neighborhood Law Offices, and the only Tax Clinic in the country - isone of the best any place. Few law schools have comparable student participation in governance of the school.None, I believe, is as successful as Hofstra in creating a friendly and pleasant atmosphere in which to work.

You have good reason for pride, therefore, in your Law School and in the important part that you have playedin shaping and building it. But there is more to do. Hofstra attracts more than its share of students who think ofthe law as a profession of service and who are conscious of the major role that the law, and lawyers, can play insocial reform. We try to nurture those professional ideals, as well as to develop and sharpen your professionalskills, while you are here! Whatever kind of practice you enter, therefore, it is my hope that you willparticipate in establishing a tradition of Hofstra graduates as lawyers committed to community service and tosocial reform.

Please come back and see us often. You will always be welcome.
