Message from the Dean Dear Fordham Family and Friends,
Fordham Law School comprises an extraordinary group of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and family. We are drawn together through our shared mission of preparing excellent lawyers for tomorrow’s world, lawyers who are solidly grounded in ethics and who share a commitment to the service of others. To sustain our mission, we must make bold investments in our facilities, our scholarships, our faculty, our centers, and our Annual Fund. The new law school building will improve the teaching and learning environment and will allow us to employ the newest technologies in legal education. Support for scholarships helps us attract a talented and diverse student body of the highest caliber. Faculty chairs are crucial to attracting and retaining the quality faculty members who are at the core of our great school. Our centers and institutes do groundbreaking work in their fields, provide critical training for our students, and serve deserving segments of the community. Annual Fund gifts are an important source of the capital that allows us to improve essential student services. Our campaign co-chairs have demonstrated their leadership in a tangible way, by making gifts to this campaign that are unprecedented in the history of our school. T.J. Maloney ’79 and Thomas A. Moore ’72 have each contributed $5 million toward our new building. These are the largest single gifts in the history of Fordham Law School. Coming as they do at a time of economic turmoil, these gifts represent a profound commitment to our school and its students. I am grateful beyond measure to T.J. and Tom for their generosity. Their gifts not only bring us closer to the funding of our new building, but also provide a clear statement of faith in the educational mission and future of our school. I encourage you to consider how you can help us ensure Fordham Law’s future by making a gift to the campaign. I want to thank you for your past support, and I look forward to working with you to accomplish great things at Fordham Law School. With gratitude,

When Fordham Law celebrated our Centennial two years ago, as a community we honored a century of law taught and practiced in the service of others. We also looked forward to facing the challenges and the opportunities that would arise in our school’s second century of service. Now, I invite you to help us build the foundation for the future of our school through our $100 million campaign.
