Jul 14, 2006 -- Cardozo graduate Sara J. Klein ’05 received notice in July that she won a clerkship with US Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens for the 2007 term.

She is the second Cardozo graduate to clerk for the US Supreme Court. Cliff Elgarten ’79 clerked for Justice William J. Brennan, Jr.

Ms. Klein, who was an outstanding student at Cardozo, was executive editor of Cardozo Law Review and received the Louis D. Brandeis Award for the best academic record over three years as well as the Felix Frankfurter Award for outstanding academic achievement, maturity, responsibility, diligence, and judgment.

She is currently clerking for the Hon. Maryanne Trump Barry, US Court of Appeals, Third Circuit. In September 2006, she will clerk for the Hon. John C. Lifland, US District Court, District of New Jersey.

Upon hearing the news of the clerkship, Ms. Klein returned to Cardozo to thank some of the professors who helped her, including Stewart Sterk, Lester Brickman, Melanie Leslie, and Kevin Stack.
