Arthur Jacobson has been teaching at Cardozo Law since 1977. He received his B.A., J.D. and Ph.D. from Harvard University, and he specializes in jurisprudence and contracts. “Every class I teach is my favorite class … each for a different reason,” he says. “Contracts is a favorite because it is beautiful and endlessly deep. Employment discrimination is a favorite because it is one of the hardest classes in law school, and the students who take it are brave. One works with brave people to learn together.” In his spare time, Jacobson is a semi-pro singer of art song and lieder. “I believe that the anti-intellectualism that is threatening American legal education will, if successful, destroy the power of American lawyers in American life.”
