About the Center
 

"The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings." - Albert Schweitzer

From its inception, the Louis Stein Center for Law and Ethics has endeavored to make ethics and public service integral to the study and practice of law. In the process it has created and nurtured a legal community of scholars, students, jurists and practitioners dedicated to the exchange of ideas and problem solving in a vital field of inquiry that has grown increasingly more important in today's professional world.

The Stein Center traces its beginnings to Louis Stein's (class of '26) establishment, in 1976, of the Fordham-Stein Prize -- a national award that is presented annually by the law school to a lawyer whose work exemplifies outstanding standards of professional conduct, promotes the advancement of justice, and brings credit to the profession.
