The Feerick Center for Social Justice and Dispute Resolution will bring together the major stakeholders responsible for solving our most difficult urban social issues. Uniquely combining the insights of a think tank, the urgency inherent in a mission to achieve social justice, the balance required of a mediation center, and the educational mission of a law school, the Center will work with all parties to frame concrete and achievable solutions to the endemic problems plaguing the urban poor. By taking on this mission, Fordham Law School will institutionalize one of the largest and most creative commitments in legal education to obtain social change. The vital work of this Center, and the inspiration it provides, will be fostered at home in New York and around the globe.
"John is the friend and mentor of so many of us. When we create this Center we honor him -- but we do not do that for him, for honors mean nothing to this modest man. We do it for us. When we honor John, we dedicate ourselves to all the ideals of Fordham Law School, the ideals we hold most dear."
William Michael Treanor
Dean and Professor of Law
