		Monroe H. Freedman, Hofstra University, School of Law Monroe Freedman has received the American Bar Association's highest award for professionalism, in recognition of a "lifetime or original and influential scholarships in the field of lawyers' ethics." Described in the Harvard Law Bulletin as "a lawyers' lawyer," and by the New York Times as "a pioneer in the field of legal ethics," he is frequently consulted by law firms throughout the country. He is the former dean of Hofstra Law School and, for the past 20 years, has lectured twice a year on lawyers' ethics at Harvard Law School. Professor Freedman's first ethics treatise, Lawyer's Ethics in an Adversary System (1975), received the ABA's Gavel Award Certificate of Merit. Reviews have called it "brilliant," a "classic," and one of the few "monumental contributions to legal education in the past generation." His most recent book is Understanding Lawyer's Ethics (3rd ed., Matthew Bender, 2004), written with Georgetown Law Professor Abbe Smith. Professor Freedman was recognized by The Washingtonian as "one of [the District Columbia's] most highly regarded constitutional lawyers." He was also chosen by Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel to be the first executive director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, and has received a Martin Luther King Award for "decades of work to advance human dignity and social justice."
