I have known and admired Scott since he was a young lawyer who argued cases before me at the Appellate Division and more recently when we served as co-counsel in complex litigation matters.

While maintaining a substantial commercial litigation practice, Scott somehow found time to improve the education of law students, lawyers and judges. Scott may be the longest running real estate litigation columnist in America. His New York Law Journal column began in November 1987, and he has authored more than 1,700 columns.
