Monroe's Hofstra colleague, Susan Saab Fortney, passes along this news:
Thanks to everyone for their reflections and words of condolence related to the passing of Monroe. As Roy Simon mentioned, from the day I arrived at Hofstra, Monroe was a supportive friend and mentor. We will keep you posted on a ceremony that our law school is planning to celebrate is life.
Before Monroe’s death, the Professional Responsibility Section of AALS had approved of the following program for the January 2016 annual meeting: "Ethics in Criminal Practice -- The Three Hardest Questions Today: A Conversation in Honor of Monroe Freedman." Monroe was very pleased to know about the program. Bruce Green and I are organizing the program and trying to make it a double session. We are now deeply saddened that this will be now be a memorial tribute, but honored to continue the discourse that Monroe started fifty years ago with his seminal work.
