Professor Lewin made every class and trial practice seminar an adventure, including odd confrontations with water buffaloes, or was that watery confrontations with odd buffaloes?
Seriously, he was a highlight of my experience at SU Law.

A long overdue recognition!
As I was just telling someone a couple of days ago you remain one of the great influences in my professional life.
