I regret that most members of the class of 1991 will never know David Kadane, a member of Hofstra Law School's original faculty, who died in April of this year. Nonetheless, his life and professional achievements have touched many of you through your association with the Law School, and with those members of the faculty, like myself, who David influenced and inspired over the course of many years. David Kadane was the son of a lawyer. He attended public schools in New York City, graduating from C.C.N.Y. in 1933. Inl936, he received his LL.B degree from the Harvard Law School where he encountered, among others, W. Barton Leach, Edward H.' 'Bull'' Warren, the reputed model for Professor Kingsfield of' 'Paper Chase" fame, and Felix Frankfurter. From 1936 to 1938, David was Assistant Counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce. From 1938 to 1946, he was Attorney, Special Counsel, and eventually Assistant Director of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission where he worked with both William O. Douglas and Jerome Frank. He was also Special Assistant to the National Housing Expediter, Wilson W. Wyatt, during 1946. Following his government service, David was employed by the Long Island Lighting Company. From 1949 to 1970, he was General Counsel of LILCO where he developed a national reputation for his work involving the government regulation of utility rates. From 1964 to 1966, while on leave from LILCO, he and his wife Helene served in the Peace Corps. David was a legal adviser to the government of Tanzania and to its President, the Honorable Julius K. Nyerere, during his Peace Corps service. In 1970, David joined the founding faculty of the new law school at Hofstra University. He was a pioneer in creating new programs of clinical legal education and the first director of the Hofstra Law School's Neighborhood Law Office which continues to service low-income clients as the Community Legal Assistance Corporation. David also taught a variety of courses at Hofstra including property law, corporte finance, and wills, tusts and estates until his "retirement" in 1984 as the Harry R. Rains Distinguished Professor. Thereafter, he continued to teach as an adjunct professor at both Hofstra and at the new law school of the City University of New York, Queens College. During 1985-86, he was a visiting lecturer in administrative law at East China Normal University in Shanghai. No survey of David's remarkably diverse life would be complete without mention of

his very numerous professional, civic, and community activities over more than forty years. By one friend's count, David was involved, often in important leadership roles, with more than sixty organizations. Most were on Long Island and some he invented. Of course, this very brief summary of David's long and productive professional career barely suggests his enduring contributions to the law school and larger communities. Because he understood the special challenges and contradictions of his younger colleagues and students alike who, simply put, knew him for the wise and witty man that he was. When I think of David, I am moved to recall at least two quotations that I think he would have liked. Gibbon, the historian, once noted that "the winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators." At the same time, David also honored another value that may or may not be fully compatible with the first. However much he demanded from himself and others, David clearly agreed with the great Maimonides who once said:' 'There are eight rungs in charity. The highest is when you help a man to help himself.'' To the very end, teacher Kadane challenged us to ignore and transcend our selfimposed limitations. For that above all, he deserves to be gratefully remembered. Ronald H. Silverman Kalikow Professor of Law

DEAN'S MESSAGE

The first time I read the Dean's Message in my La\

fore graduation. The next time was about three yean later when I was trying to connect a face with th< name of a classmate who had referred a client to me If your pattern follows mine, writing a message fo this Yearbook is akin to composing something for time capsule. In my brief graduation remarks to you ("civility de mands brevity"), in the heat of the gymnasium, I ex pressed some of my hopes for you in the future anc proffered some advice. I offer them again in the ex pectation that the wishes have been fulfilled, at leasl in part, or that a reminder might be of some use. First, and most importantly, I told you that you should be proud of your accomplishments because you have persevered and you have succeeded and that makes you special. It is easy to forget that during the sometimes frustrating and frenetic peace of prac ticing law. Second, I told you that the faculty and administra tion of the Law School knows that you are capable and that you are prepared for that which lies ahead. hope you now share that confidence about yourself, Third, I hoped that you are elated about your sue cesses, fair to yourself when the results are not wha! you wanted, and that you forgive yourself for the in evitable mistakes. Although these wishes are clearly

easier to state than to fulfill, I do hope you have been able to develop a realistic perspective on your professional endeavors. To those of you who encounter a so-called "professional crisis," I hope that you take steps to ensure that you find your work fulfilling and rewarding. If you are proud of the goals or objects of your efforts, the practice of law is, indeed, a noble endeavor. Lastly, I offered my hope that you would maintain your bonds with your colleagues and classmates and with Hofstra Law School. I said that we would miss the class of 1991 and we have. If you haven't remained a part of our community, we urge you to do so. Our futures are, after all, intertwined.

Stuart Rabinowitz, Dean

To Lisa Beth Katz

â&#x20AC;˘s We are so proud of you...

Those hours and hours of hard work. The enthusiasm you maintained. Those very long days that stretched on into the night. The maturity you gained, a gift that comes only through experience. The charm and beauty you displayed, that came from deep within your character. The professionalism you developed. For all that, and much more, your family takes this opportunity to express the love and admiration you so very much deserve. We love you. Mom, Dad, Lori and Jodi.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR Love, Mom, Dad, Josh Sam, Sandy, Max & Ralph

To DAP IV . . . and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars . . .

A GLANCE BACK First week of law school. . . seeing those Hofstra Law School stickers spring up on the rear windows of cars . . . Hearing that the people who answer questions in class receive the worst grades . . . Understanding that the reason there were parking spots available the first week of school was that the undergraduate classes had not started y e t . . . Briefing cases, READING CASES . . . Pierson v. Post . . . The first quality imitations of our professors by our classmates . . . the common scold . . . Hearing about the Agata 500 . . . Playing softball and frisbee in the back before University progress swallowed the field . . . Signing away for $$ LOANS and recalculating what starting salary will be required to make loan payments, and eat at the same time, (thoughts of a new car after graduation are placed on an indefinite hold). . . Wondering whether a case highlighted in five colors facilitated better comprehension . . . NOT . . . Contemplating which interest meeting to go to during the first Dean's hour, but listening to your stomach tell you to go to the one with free food . . . Attending ladies night at McHebes for the first time and feeling old . . . Cliques begin to develop in our sections . . . Being warned that the use of Lexis and Westlaw were no no's . . . Finding Carmine, the Crim Law, stand-up comedian, law-fellow . . . Hearing about MONROE and his inquisitional pedagogical approach . . . Drifting over to the "other side" of campus for lunch and a pleasant change of scenery . . . Jealousy and bewilderment of those who actually taped and transcribed every word of class . . . GILBERTS is good for property . . . and Arthur Miller's tapes, replete with Ma and Pa's Guava jelly . . . Not wanting to believe that everyone around you had all their "outlines" up to date, before Thanksgiving . . . I hated those people . . . Moot Court. . . Moot-

ing each other . . . Trying to find the case with THE right answer . . . falling way behind in other class for a lousy two credit brief. . . Weighing the writing competition packet . . . developing rationalizations to justify blowing it off . . . Realizing that there is no correlation between the amount of money you spent on hornbooks and study aids, and your first year grades . . . A new dean and a new regime . . . Finding out who made the journals . . . and who's number 1 ... Point Lookout for some . . . . For the fortunate few, wearing a suit to school for on-campus interviews . . . Open Door policies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NOT!! . . . Wheeling and dealing for outlines early in the game, and making a friend in the copy room . . . PAD'S bagel sales . . . The development of STUDENT ACTIVISM AT HOFSTRA LAW: THE 90'S VERSION â&#x20AC;&#x201D; complaining about inadequate parking and late grades . . . Colavecchio' s Res Ipsa Loquitor column . . . PJF is born, Bravo Ms. Cook and Company!! . . . Seeing the journal people with those big red folders . . . Drafting your upper class writing requirement, and wondering what to put into your footnotes . . . Hearing about the economy slowing down. . . Can's controversial will's final. . . Rejection letters . . . Getting baraged with Bar review material . . . Coming to school with $ change in your pocket for breakfast, lunch, and possibly dinner . . . Tuition increases . . . a new library with no bathroom and a schizophrenic ventilation system . . . Ralph Nader and Pat Schroeder at Hofstra . . . finally, a CPLR course at Hofstra, a steamy graduation . . . Pieper vs. Bar Bri . . . That Javits Center, Bar exam proctor, robot voice from hell . . .
