The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at 91��Ƶ hosted the launch of author and alumna Maya K. van Rossum’s book, The Green Amendment: The People's Fight for a Clean, Safe, and Healthy Environment, on 91��Ƶ’s New York City campus on Thursday, October 27. In this new edition of her book, officially released November 1st, van Rossum presents her radically simple plan for a green future: bypass local laws and turn to the ultimate authority—our state and federal constitutions—to ensure we have the right to a healthy environment. Author Maya K. van Rossum was joined by her former law school professor, Nicholas A. Robinson, a renowned scholar and pioneer in the field of environmental law, who led an insightful and engaging discussion focusing on the roadmap van Rossum outlines in her book for a healthier world. The event was attended by influential environmental law experts and eco-advocates.

Lisa Denig has dedicated much of her career to pioneering Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Initiatives within the New York State Court System. Recently, Lisa started a new position as Principal Settlement Coordinator for the 9th Judicial District within the New York State Unified Court System. “I am tasked with creating and expanding opportunities for ADR in all the courts in the 9th JD,” said Lisa. “Not long ago, settlement or mediation were thought of as secondary to years of discovery, enormous cost outlays, and time spent on trial preparation. That is no longer the case. Today, attorneys come prepared-at the preliminary conference - to discuss alternative ways to resolve their case. Alternative dispute resolution is not the wave of the future, it is the present.”

"I really wake up every day with that same goal I envisioned years ago – unapologetically committed to ensuring that people's most basic rights are protected."

Beginning Thursday, October 13, through Saturday, October 15, 91��Ƶ's Pleasantville Campus will be celebrating its annual Homecoming celebration, honoring alumni from both campuses.
