Judge Marina Corodemus (ret.) has been named to this board.
Weitz & Luxenberg co-founder Perry Weitz donated $2 million to create the Perry Weitz Mass Tort Institute at the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University. Hofstra Law launched the Institute in November 2022. There was a special event held, as well as a conversation featuring four members of our W&L team.
Perry Weitz is a 1983 Hofstra Law graduate. He has been a “long-standing supporter of Hofstra Law” and its efforts to educate up-and-coming attorneys. He was inducted into their Inaugural Hall of Fame last spring. In 2020, Mr. Weitz served as an honorary co-chair for the Law School’s Vision 2020 Campaign. In addition, Mr. Weitz is part of a Hofstra Law legacy family. His son, Justin, graduated from Hofstra Law in 2009.
The Institute itself is a natural outgrowth of Mr. Weitz’s philanthropy in general, as well as of our firm’s leadership position in both the practice and pedagogy of mass tort law. Weitz & Luxenberg team members have made it part of our mission to volunteer our time, participating in mass tort seminars and conferences so we can teach and learn from each other.
