Soon after his time on the judicial level, he accepted a position with the New York State Commission on Government Integrity. In this role, he was tasked with investigating corruption on both the local and state levels in New York. Needless to say, it was an exciting, though stressful, career choice. Still, it was time well spent, says Fama.
These days, Dean Fama enjoys working with law students as they find their way and make their career choices following graduation. It's his experience and natural ability to put others at ease that serves him so well. Students have come to rely on Fama and his team for things such as interviewing seminars, various workshops, resume writing and general career advice. Dean Fama continues to remain active in public interest organizations. From serving as the Acting Director of the Unlearning Stereotypes Program for the New York Civil Rights Coalition to working with homeless shelters and food banks, Fama is dedicated to his community as much as his commitment to the students at Cardozo Law.
The renovations continue, just as the Career Services staff continues to move forward. With several lawyers who call this department home, these outgoing students have a wealth of experience to pull from - and it shows in the quality of lawyers that the law school produces each and every year.
