The past year was also filled with exciting symposia and lectures. Among the many thought-provoking programs:

• An interdisciplinary conference: “The Jury in the 21st Century,” co-sponsored with the National Institute of Justice
• A two-day tax symposium on “International Tax Policy in the New Millennium”
• A one-day symposium on “DNA: Lessons from the Past, Problems for the Future,” co-sponsored with the National Institute of Justice
• A lecture by renowned civil libertarian and linguist Noam Chomsky
• A lecture by Linda Greenhouse, The New York Times Supreme Court reporter
• The inaugural Ira M. Belfer ‘33 Lecture by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
• The Edward V. Sparer Public Interest Law Fellowship forum: “Road Blocks to Justice: Congressional Stripping of Federal Court Jurisdiction”
• The Barry L. Zaretsky Roundtable Program: “A Quick Tour of Revised Article 9"

In addition to the events on campus, the Law School held Centennial Receptions for graduates and friends around the country. The Dean met with alumni in Philadelphia, Chicago, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Boca Raton, Miami, and New York.

On May 20, 2001 we held a formal Gala at the Essex House, hosted by Geraldo Rivera, Class of 1969. (Photos of the Gala)

Finally, on October 4, 2001, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first classes held at Brooklyn Law School with a party for students, administration, and faculty in the Law School’s Plaza -- a fantastic conclusion to our first 100 years and a great start for the next 100 years.
