Charter Class of Builders Society to be Honored at Annual Dinner
18 Individuals to be Recognized at the Liberty & Justice for All Dinner on November 9, 2011
August 1, 2011Central Islip, NY – Since 1995, Touro Law Center has honored its alumni as well as other distinguished members of the community at the annual “With Liberty & Justice for All” Dinner Celebration. This year the dinner will be held on Wednesday, November 9, 2011, 6:30 pm at the Garden City Hotel.
For this year’s event, Touro Law Center will honor 18 individuals who are the charter members of the Builders Society. The Builders Society was created to recognize and celebrate those individuals who have been 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.
