IN MEMORIAM JACK T. LITMAN 1943 - 2010
NYSACDL is saddened by the loss on Janaury 23 of Jack Litman, NYSACDL Past-President, one of the original "Twelve Angry Men" who endowed a scholarship fund for the annual National Criminal Defense College in Macon, Georgia, recipient of the NYSACDL Lifetime Achievement Award and the Honorable Thurgood S. Marshall Award for Outstanding Practitioner. Respected by the bench, admired by colleagues and loved by family and friends, Jack Litman epitomized the practice of law and the art of criminal defense. A zealous advocate, legal scholar and good friend, Jack will be sorely missed by all.
