The state’s former chief judge urged New York’s law schools to pay greater attention to state law and the Court of Appeals in an address on Tuesday at Albany Law School.
Sol Wachtler, 81, who served on the Court of Appeals for 20 years, including six as chief judge, said he is concerned that there is too much emphasis on federal law when lawyers, whether practicing in state or federal court, are often bound by New York law. Mr. Wachtler teaches constitutional law at Touro Law Center.
