WWW.T OUROL AW.E DU 27 A savior. A selfless educator. Intelligent supportive and compassionate. The list of praise that genuinely illustrates what Professor Suzanne Darrow-Kleinhaus means to Touro Law students and alumni is endless. To say she is beloved by the community of lawyers she guided through and continues to guide through course work bar preparation and personalprofessional matters is an understatement. I believe that I share my J.D. and Esq. status with Professor Kleinhaus because without her I certainly would not be a practicing attorney today said Michelle Azoulay class of 2011 an Associate with Azoulay Weiss LLP in Albertson Long Island. She is both a wonderful professor and phenomenal friend and it is a great honor to call her my colleague today. Herself an alum of Touro Law Kleinhaus graduated in January 1998 and a notable second in her class she is Director of Academic Development and Professor of Law and has been a proud member of the Touro Law Center faculty for 15 years. Im just doing what I love. The most wonderful thing in the world for me is to teach. Ill be at Touro Law until I cant teach anymore Kleinhaus shared. Undeniably impactful as an educator Kleinhaus beams with pride when she witnesses her students triumphs. According to Kleinhaus one of the best things about being a law professor is that once students graduate were all lawyers together all peers and practitioners of law and I share their successes as a teacher and fellow alum. Touro Law alumni repeatedly echo the same sentimentthat Kleinhaus goes above and beyond what is necessary. She perpetually puts the needs of her students over herself and I believe it is her best asset explained Michael Gionesi class of 2013 an Associate at the Law Offices of Winter Grossman PLLC in Garden City. Ari Shulman class of 2012 an Assistant District Attorney in the Kings County District Attorneys Office agrees wholeheartedly. Her utmost concern is not how she is perceived but how her students succeed. Azoulays first experience with Kleinhaus exemplifies the professors fierce belief in her students capabilities. As a 1L Azoulay performed poorly on her first midterm. She was feeling completely defeated and accidentally stumbled into Kleinhaus office. Azoulay became very emotional so Kleinhaus had her sit down and talk things through and shortly after she felt significantly better. From that point on Kleinhaus began meeting with Azoulay once a week to review her notes from that specific class which marks the beginning of a relationship that forever changed Azoulays life. She ended up making Deans List that first year and was invited to try out for Law Review and Moot Court she made the moot court team that summer and later served on the editorial board as the recruitment editor. She gave me the confidence and guidance to succeed in law school said Azoulay. She helped give me perspective and focus on both what I like and what Im good at and she always reminds me that I belong in this profession. I still e-mail and speak to her and she is always responsive attentive and warm. A testament to her excellence as a teacher Kleinhaus is extremely skilled at counseling students in the distinctive thinking process that is required of being a lawyer. One of her greatest gifts to Touro Law students is her instruction in how to carefully examine a situation analyze information divide it into understandable bits of material and critically think which are crucial skills that can be applied to any area of law and beyond law life. Professor Kleinhaus taught me that law is a powerful tool which can be used to help me solve problems for myself and others regardless of my area of expertise noted Schulman. Kleinhaus believes in making sure students understand a legal concept by presenting relevant examples. Reading and understanding the cases are only one part of the learning process. Students need to really understand the context and consequences of applying legal principles. Once this understanding is achieved students can really commit the law to memory and recognize how to appropriately apply it in practice. She breaks down the information into real-world scenarios which makes everything so much easier to understand recalled Gionesi. She has the ability to give students a fundamental
