W W W. TO U R O L AW. E D U 11 Seplowitz encouraged Choi to enter a paper on copyright law in that same competition; she and Beh were the co-winners – and their romance blossomed. Seplowitz attended their wedding in 2016. Choi, who concentrates her practice in estate litigation law at Novick & Associates, P.C. in Huntington, considers Seplowitz one of her great career influences. “I spoke to Professor Seplowitz extensively about this field, and she shared her stories and experiences so that I would know what to expect,” remarked Choi. “That perspective was priceless.” According to Choi, Seplowitz constantly makes time for her students, and she is “encouraging and supportive” as she deals with their concerns. “Talking to her always made things clear for me. Even post- graduation, she listens, gives amazing advice and remains an invaluable resource.” In addition to her accolades as a professor, Seplowitz is an accomplished author, having published articles in numerous law journals, including the Touro Law Review, and is working on a property text book with fellow professors Sidney Kwestel and Suzanne Darrow-Kleinhaus. She is also very proud of her pro bono work and her contribution to an amicus brief in the landmark decision in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke. Her current scholarly interests are focused on intellectual property protection for industrial design and the rights of the surviving spouse. Seplowitz and her husband live in New Rochelle, NY, where she is active in her community, local synagogue and UJA (United Jewish Appeal)-Federation. They have two daughters and a granddaughter. When students, past and present, speak of Seplowitz, the impressive list of adjectives echoes similar, praise-worthy sentiment. Brilliant. Warm-hearted. Caring. Dedicated. A true teacher. Beh and Choi also laud her sense of humor. It’s the right mix for someone who is living her destiny – a revered professor who seems to get better every year. Seplowitz is energized by the dynamic student body and supportive faculty and administration at Touro Law Center. She believes this is what makes the school standout as an institution. How fortunate for Touro to embrace this “master of the class” and “educator extraordinaire” for many years to come. I see myself continuing to teach at Touro, be involved with the Law Review and contributing to the growth of the school.” photo from the 2016 commencement ceremony.
