After serving as dean of two law schools, president of a university and special master in a U.S. Supreme Court case, Paul Verkuil was handed a more daunting task in 2010: reviving a federal agency that had been zero-funded for 15 years.
“Standing up an agency is quite a challenge. I had to buy furniture. And there was no office space. I did it in six months,” said Verkuil, former dean of Tulane University Law School and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, and former president of the College of William and Mary. He served as special master for the high court from 1994 to 1997 in the dispute between New York and New Jersey over Ellis Island.
