Tributes to Joseph Bellacosa

As noted by Professor Robert E. Parella, Dean Bellacosa "has worn many hats with distinction."  And while his departure from the Deanship of St. John’s University School of Law marks a loss, reflecting upon Dean Bellacosa’s contributions allows us to celebrate his achievements.  This section contains seven tributes to Dean Bellacosa written by his comrades and colleagues, all of which are reflective of his broad influence as a professor, mentor, dean, professor, ally, adversary, judge, and friend.  Contributors include Donald J. Harrington, Hon. Judith S. Kaye, Hon. P. Kevin Castel, Robert McGuire, Associate Dean Andrew J. Simons, Professor Robert E. Parella, and Dominick Barbieri.
