Fordham University School of Law announced that it has received a donation in memory of alumna Geraldine Ferraro to benefit the school’s clinical education program. The gift from Ms. Ferraro’s husband, John Zaccaro Sr., and children will support the university’s law school and undergraduate residence hall, which will house the Geraldine A. Ferraro Clinical Education Center when it opens in 2014. The center will provide space for clinic students to meet with clients, most of whom would otherwise be unable to afford representation.
“We believe, as Geraldine did, that clinics are an integral part of a complete legal education, and this gift will enhance the clinical experience for generations of Fordham Law students to come,” Michael M. Martin, the school’s dean, said in a statement.
