Jerome Prince

Jerome Prince was Dean of Brooklyn Law School from 1953 to 1971.[1][2] He was also a well-known evidence scholar.[3]

Prince was born in Manhattan, and had two brothers.[1] His father was a tobacco salesman.[4] Prince graduated from City College cum laude where he was Phi Beta Kappa, and earned two degrees at Brooklyn Law School, an LLB in 1933 and an SJD in 1934 – both summa cum laude, as he was Editor in Chief of the Brooklyn Law Review.[1][4][5] He joined the faculty in 1934, and first became vice dean in 1945 and assistant dean, before becoming dean in 1953.[1][5]

After retiring, Prince remained on the faculty, continuing to teach the law of evidence, his specialty, until he died in 1988.[1]

Prince was married twice, the second time to the former Elaine Lederman.[1] He had two daughters from his first marriage.[1]

The Dean Jerome Prince Evidence Competition is an annual competition hosted by Brooklyn Law School.[6][7] Participants write an appellate brief and then present an oral argument on an evidentiary issue in a contemporary context.[6][8]
