Five nurturing years at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals were followed by a couple of years at Cardozo School of Law. And, most instructive and enriching , the last ten years, 1999-2008 , as the director of library services and the continuing legal education program at the law firm of Anderson Kill & Olick in New York City.
