Message from the Director of Alumni Relations

Dear Fellow Alumni,

As Director of Alumni Relations and a fellow graduate of the Law School, one of the most enjoyable parts of my job is to learn about and highlight the accomplishments of our great law school and graduates. It is with much excitement that I announce the release of the first edition of The Bridge, the Alumni Newsletter of Brooklyn Law School.

Several times a semester, this e-newsletter will bring you timely information on news and events at the Law School as well as noteworthy accomplishments of our alumni. The Bridge supplements the school's magazine, BLS LawNotes, as well as our Web site, www.brooklaw.edu. Together, these sources will continue to provide you with information about significant happenings at the Law School and stories about the BLS community - our outstanding students, faculty and alumni.

Our goal is to provide a bridge to keep you connected to our community. I hope you enjoy this first edition and I look forward to hearing from you about your own careers and lives as well as topics you'd like to see covered in the newsletter.

Sincerely,

Caitlin Monck-Marcellino '02
Director of Alumni Relations
