Dear Graduates,
We write with great sadness to tell you that Professor Emeritus Jerry Leitner passed away last Friday, June 17. He was a beloved colleague, teacher and friend. A member of the faculty for four decades, he taught Torts, Estates Law, and Appellate and Trial Advocacy to many generations of BLS students.
We extend our deepest sympathy to his sons, John Henry and Joshua `91, and to his entire family.
The funeral service for Professor Leitner will be held at 2:15 PM on Thursday, June 23, at Congregation Mt. Sinai, 250 Cadman Plaza West, in Brooklyn Heights
Sincerely,
Joan G. Wexler
