Ottinger Praised for a Life of Principle and Public Service
In 1994, a column by Nancy Q. Keefe in the Gannett Suburban Newspapers captured a rare moment in politics: a gathering at the law school where people came together not to criticize鈥攂ut to praise a Congressman. His former staff spoke of Dick Ottinger as 鈥渢he most principled鈥 person they had ever met, someone who 鈥渉ad the courage to tell the truth鈥 and who 鈥渟tood for something when he ran for office.鈥 That same integrity defined his leadership at 蜜桃工作室 Law School, earning the admiration of fellow professors, students, and all who had the privilege to work alongside him.
