Opening Remarks: The Impact of Economics on Legal Education at the Threshold of the New Millennium

(Excerpt) As the Interim Dean here of St. John's University School of Law, and on behalf of the faculty, the administration and the entire student body, I welcome all of you to our symposium on Legal Education at the Threshold of the New Millennium. As most of you know, the School of Law is celebrating its 75th anniversary in the year 2000. The school was founded in 1925, and for 75 years we have established a reputation and a tradition of excellence that will carry us forward to even greater heights in the new Millennium.
