The event, according to Dean Rudenstine, marked the official opening of the Jacob Burns Moot Court Room, part of a $40 million renovation, redesign, and enlargement of the law school’s facility. Davis Brody Bond Architects designed the 250-seat court room and the entire lobby level of the 11-story law school building, including its court room. Funding was provided by Cardozo Board Treasurer Barry Shenkman, president of the Jacob Burns Foundation and a grandson of the Court Room’s namesake, a former chairman of the law school’s board. “I cannot imagine a more fitting tribute to Jacob Burns, a founder of Cardozo, than to have the Circuit Court sit in our new moot court room. This historic session is a tribute to him and magnificently marks Cardozo’s coming of age,” said Dean Rudenstine.
