Jeff Norton ’97 & Stephanie Krigman Norton ’98 Jeff and Stephanie met while Stephanie was in her first year and Jeff was in his second. Stephanie remembers, “I was struggling with an assignment from a judge I was interning for and was talking to Professor Randy McLaughlin about it and Jeff was an intern for him. Later that day, we met in the library as I was having a minor meltdown and Jeff made me laugh and saved the day with the judge and what turned out to be my life and the rest (as they say) is history. We married in 1998, Randy McLaughlin was at our wedding and Jeff and Randy continue to work together.” Stephanie practices part-time doing probate work in Connecticut and has her own baking business, freedgoodsco. Jeff is a partner in the NYC firm Newman Ferrara LLP and practices securities law and class action work.
