School of Law</a> is
marking its 40th year!</div>
<div

<div
style="font-weight:normal;">I've
spent most of my legal
career at Cardozo, as a
student, a faculty
member, vice dean and
now as the dean. But I
have never been more
excited about the future
of our school than I am
today. Cardozo is moving
forward with excellence,
building on its past in
innovative ways, and
bringing new ideas for
legal education to life.
The energy and
engagement of our
students, alumni and
faculty are truly
impressive. I hope you
will join us during this
milestone year to
celebrate our
achievements as a
community. Our community
is actively engaged and
ready to inspire the
next generation of
Cardozo students.</div>

am perhaps most
proud of the work we
have done to improve

restructured the

services, have
improved outreach to
and communication
with students, and
have become a
resource for
employers. This past
year, we saw an
almost 10 percent
increase in the
number of students
in long-term,
full-time legal
jobs! We have more
to do, but I am

to Student Life</strong></div>
<div
style="font-weight:normal;"> </div>
<div
style="font-weight:normal;">To
continue to attract the
finest students, we have
worked to upgrade
student life at the law
school through new
housing options. In
close collaboration with
Yeshiva University, we
have developed a master
housing plan for the
future that will
increase and upgrade
student housing
opportunities for all of
our students. Phase 1 is
complete: We have opened
a newly renovated
housing facility - which
we call the Benjamin -
on 29th Street and
Lexington Avenue. Phase
2 is beginning: We have
sold the Alabama - our
residence on 11th Street
- to Collegium, a firm
co-owned by Cardozo
graduate Todd Rosenberg.
Collegium specializes in
student housing; they
will perform a
top-to-bottom renovation
of the Alabama, and will
offer priority access to
Cardozo law students
starting in the fall of
2017. These steps will
make the law school more
attractive to students
from around the country
who want to live and
study in the heart of
Manhattan.</div>

Gifts</strong></div>
<div
style="color:#0087be;"> </div>
<div
style="font-weight:normal;">Over
the past six months we
have received two major
gifts that will make a
significant impact on
the law school:</div>
<ul
style="font-weight:normal;">
<li>$1 million from
Arlene and Benedict
Morelli. Benedict
Morelli is the founder
and partner of Morelli
Law Firm and former
president of the New
York State Trial
Lawyers Association.
The gift will be used
in two ways:</li>
<ul>
<li>
<div
style="margin-left:0px;font-size:10px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;margin-right:0px;"><span
style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, Arial,

expand
the Morelli Fa</span><span

Scholarship fund</span></div>
</li>
<li>
<div
style="margin-left:0px;font-size:10px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;margin-right:0px;"><span
style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif;">To
establish and
expand
the Benedict M</span><span
style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif;">orelli
Trial Team. The
Morellis'
support will
allow us to
expand the
number of
students who can
participate on
the trial team,
and will
increase the
number of
competitions in
which students
can
participate. </span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<li>$1 million from
Benjamin Ferencz, the
legendary lawyer who
was one of the chief
Nuremberg prosecutors
against Nazi war
criminals. His
generous gift will
support Cardozo's
Human Rights and
Atrocity Prevention
Clinic, which will be
renamed the Benjamin
B. Ferencz Human
Rights and Atrocity
Prevention Clinic.</li>
</ul>
<div
style="color:#000000;">I
am excited looking
forward towards
Cardozo's future. As the
fall semester rapidly
comes to a close, I wish
you a wonderful holiday
season and a happy and
healthy new year. <br>
