“With Liberty & Justice For All” Dinner Celebration

Touro Law Center will hold its 2011 “With Liberty & Justice For All” Dinner on Wednesday, November 9th, 2011, 6:30 p.m. at the Garden City Hotel. This year’s celebration with honor the inaugural class of Touro Law Center’s Builders Society. The Builders Society was created to recognize and celebrate those individuals who have been and continue to be an integral part of the Touro Law Center Community. The Law Center was founded in 1980 in Manhattan, and moved to Huntington in 1982. In January of 2007, Touro Law Center moved into its new building located on a campus working with and adjacent to both the federal and state court houses in Central Islip. This new location has enabled Touro Law to expand the classroom into the courtroom and broaden the spectrum of legal education today. Our innovative Court Collaborative program is thriving, our in-house clinics continue to help members of the surrounding communities and our William Randolph Hearst Public Advocacy Center is helping legal advocacy groups and those they serve. The Builders Society honors those individuals who have helped us to both develop and realize the dream of becoming a truly integrated law campus.
