I am thrilled and humbled. Leaving legal academia — and, in particular, Brooklyn Law School, where I found a great home and intellectual powerhouse with prolific world-class faculty and highly motivated students — isn’t easy. But I very much look forward to serving the people of Israel and its legal system.
— Professor Alex Stein of Brooklyn Law School, commenting on his recent appointment to the Supreme Court of Israel. Stein, an expert on torts, medical malpractice, evidence, and general legal theory was voted in unanimously by the country’s Judicial Appointments Committee. Nick Allard, the law school’s dean, referred to Stein as “one of the world’s brilliant legal minds.”
