Hon. Rosemary S . Pooler, June 21, 1938 – August 10, 2023
We are saddened by the loss of the Hon. Rosemary S. Pooler, a senior judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Her passion for and impact on the College of Law was boundless.
She was a frequent advocacy competition judge; hired our graduates as clerks; served as an honorary member of our Board of Advisors; taught as a Visiting Professor; participated in panel discussions, including the SCOTUS Preview, and gave her time and knowledge to many more speaking and networking events over the years.
She truly was a trailblazer, becoming the first woman elected to the state Supreme Court’s fifth judicial district and the first woman appointed to serve as a U.S. district judge in the Northern District of New York in 1994.
Join us in remembrance: explore the In Memoriam list and honor the memories of our departed alumni who passed between July 1, 2022— June 30, 2023.
