Ralph M. Stein

Professor Stein, a founding member of the Pace Law School faculty, has published law review articles in the fields of constitutional law, legal history, criminal law, and torts. He is currently examining recent developments in state constitutional law and first amendment law, the latter particularly with reference to separation of church and state. Professor Stein was largely responsible for uncovering military surveillance of civilian political activity in the early ’70s. He served for two years as a field investigator for the U.S. Senate Sub-Committee on Constitutional Rights. His interest in national security issues led him to develop a seminar on National Security Law, which he is currently teaching, in addition to Constitutional Law and a seminar on Legal History. Before entering teaching at Syracuse University College of Law, he was associated with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher, & Flom. He was on the legal committee of the Anti-Defamation League, and currently serves on the board of directors of the Lower Hudson Valley Chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union. He has been involved in various civil liberties activities in both New York and Westchester, and frequently speaks to and aids citizen and community groups.
