Land Use Sustainable Development Certificates Spring 2015 also saw the first class of Touro Law graduates with LUSD Law concentration. In addition to concentrating their studies in LUSD Law students graduating with an LUSD Law concentration gained hands-on experience during law school by undertaking an externship in a related field and for some working on land use and sustainability projects as a Fellow for the Institute. These experiences are preparing TLC graduates more than ever to meet and master the challenges of a land use and sustainable development law practice. Continuing Contributions The Institute continues to make a significant contribution to the local state and national dialogue on LUSD Law. To highlight a few of these many contributions Institute Director Professor Sarah Adams-Schoen was the keynote speaker at a conference on water resource management hosted by the New York Department of State and United States Geologic Survey and was a symposium speaker at the Columbia Law School annual climate change law symposium where she presented on the role of local law and policy in climate resilience.

Significant attention from the press including coverage in New York Times articles continues to flow from the tireless work of TLCs Disaster Relief Clinic. Generous Support The Institute which was launched in September 2013 has been able to make significant strides in its first full year thanks in large part to generous donors Touro Law Center faculty administration and staff and current students and alumni. The Institute would not be possible without the generous funding it has received from Long Island developer Frank Castagna of Castagna Realty and from the Skolnick Family Charitable Trust a long-time supporter of the Law Center.
