Description

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of September 11, we wanted to get an idea of what it was like at Cardozo Law on that particular day and the days and weeks that followed. Within this publication are the responses we received from our call for memories. There are 22 contributors. These contributors include members of the Classes of 2002, 2003, and 2004. There are faculty and staff members, some who were working at Cardozo at the time, and some who were employed elsewhere. These contributions have been very lightly edited for length and clarity and broken up to provide a narrative structure.

In addition to the memories, we have a conversation between Dean Melanie Leslie and Professor Stew Sterk, who was Interim Dean on September 11, where they discuss what it is like to lead a law school during extraordinary times. Finally, to complete this memory capsule, we are including excerpts from the Spring 2002 issue of Cardozo Life. The first article includes the remarks from the memorial service for two members of the Cardozo community we lost that day: Barbara Bracher Olson ’89 and Andrew Zucker ’99. The second article highlights the ways Cardozo alumni helped during September 11 and the days, weeks, and months that followed.
