Kohn Chairin Law to honor therenowned Phila-delphia lawyer who is widely consideredan architect of themodern-day classaction. The endowedfaculty chair is the inspiration ofLeonard Barrack ’68,founding partner ofBarrack,Rodos & Bacine,one of Harold Kohn’sprotégés and a long-time colleague,initially at what isnow Dilworth,Paxson and later at Kohn,Swift,andGraf. The chair is jointly funded by a gift of $2 millionfrom the Barrack Foundation,directed by LeonardBarrack,and the Kohn Foundation,co-directed byHarold Kohn’s widow,Edith,and his son,Joseph C.Kohn,Esq.Dean Robert J. Reinstein remembers Kohn as a greatlawyer who “brought many landmark cases to protectordinary people and their rights against government andbig corporations.”In addition to being a member ofTemple’s board of trustees,Kohn also endowed twoscholarships at the law school. One is named for JudgeJoseph Sloane and the other for Isadore Shrager,whoserved on Temple’s board of trustees and on the lawalumni executive committee. “This endowed chair speaks volumes about LenBarrack’s and the Kohn family’s generosity to the lawschool and about Mr. Kohn,”say Dean Reinstein. “Lenbelieves in giving back and credits the law school withgiving him the education and skills he needed to becomea great lawyer. He credits Harold Kohn with teachinghim how to be a great lawyer. Harold Kohn was a modelof professionalism whose honesty and integrity werenever challenged.”Concerning the establishment of the chair,Barracksays,“I thought it would be terrific if the law school hada chair to honor one of the great lawyers of the twentiethcentury. Harold Kohn was a tremendous asset to thePhiladelphia legal and charitable communities and avery principled advocate who lived by his principles. He was very interested in participating charitably,andencouraged others to do the same.”Harold E.

Hegenerally took up the case of the little guy standing upto the more wealthy and powerful.”Harold Kohn was a celebrated trial lawyer,whoaccording to his son,could simultaneously make “anobserver squirm for the poor witness subject to hiscross-examination”while displaying a warm side withwhich the jury could identify.”Leonard Barrackremembers him as a “lawyer’s lawyer”who was “morethan a consumer advocate and who represented theinterests of the powerless and those who lacked thefinancial wherewithal to go into court and enforce theirrights.”Barrack highlighted his work as a “spokesmanfor the efficacy of Rule 23 [the class action rule] and itsbenefit to consumers.”He noted that Harold Kohnmentored and profoundly influenced many lawyersthroughout his years at the bar.Kohn was highly respected by the bench as well asthe bar. Says Chief Judge Anthony Scirica of the ThirdCircuit Court of Appeals,“Harold Kohn was one ofPhiladelphia’s most distinguished lawyers and a pioneerin the field of plaintiffs’class actions. He was adedicated and committed member of the board oftrustees of Temple University whose opinion was valuedby several presidents.”Judge Dolores Sloviter,also ofthe Third Circuit,worked with Harold Kohn for sixteenyears. She was one of three attorneys,led by Kohn,whorepresented the Philadelphia Electric Company andother utilities in the landmark case against GeneralElectric,Westinghouse,and other electrical equipmentmanufacturers. She says the success of that litigationlargely made Harold Kohn’s reputation. “He was asuperb trial lawyer. He excelled in evaluation of a case,in negotiation with opposing counsel and—if thatfailed—in trying the case. He was intuitive as to whatwould appeal to a jury,how to examine witnesses,andhow to cross-examine. He was also committed to civilliberties,especially the First Amendment,probably frommany years of representing the Philadelphia Inquirer andother media clients.”Joseph Kohn says his father was not a “one-dimensional courtroom personality.”He advised lawyersin the firm to read literature,such as the works ofShakespeare and the Bible in order to understand humanemotion and the human psyche. He had little use formodern jury consultants. Instead,says Joseph,“He hadgreat self-confidence in his ability to size up potentialjurors; he said he didn’t need the services of a Ph.D.who had never tried a lawsuit. He had great skill takinga very complicated matter,presenting it in a simple waywithout talking down to anyone,and keeping the juryfocused. He believed that you really had to create andmaintain a certain tension in the courtroom over thecourse of the trial.”In the early fifties,Philadelphia Mayor Joseph Clarkappointed Kohn to a position as a special counsel ontransportation matters,work that eventually led to theformation of SEPTA. Edith Kohn remembers how herhusband became involved in working on the city’stransport problems:“After I became pregnant we movedto the suburbs. My husband always took the train intotown and I would pick him up at the station. Oneevening he was so late coming home when I wasmeeting him at the station that he called the transitcompany and scolded the general manager. ‘Youshouldn’t do this to people who have families waiting tomeet them,’he said. Well after that he had someconferences with the city and that was how SEPTA waseventually formed.”A hands-on philanthropist,Kohn served not only onTemple’s board of trustees,but also on Villanova LawSchool’s board of consultors and the boards of severalother educational,charitable,and civic organizations. Hehas funded both student scholarships and buildingmaintenance funds. Kohn was also a devoted family man who spentevenings and weekends with his wife and four children.In addition to Joseph,the Kohns have three daughters:Lee Glanton,Amy Goldberg,and Ellen Kohn,all ofwhom went to law school and have practiced law. Amy worked with the Kohn firm as local counsel inNew York.Dean Reinstein says he is excited about theestablishment of the Harold E.

The final stage of the libraryrenovation was begun several years ago and wascompleted during summer break. Responsible for creating the new look are architectsNeil Schlosser and Karl Krumbolz. The final stages of the project include a new green-based color scheme,dramatically improved lighting,new carpet,and cherry-toned library tables,chairs and carrels. Aesthetic improvements are accompanied by upgradesof the electrical and wireless infrastructure toaccommodate the new technologies unknown—andunimaginable—at the time of the building’s constructionin the early 1970s. “A combination of wired and wirelessnetwork access in the law library provides easy access toa wealth of on-line information from a student’s notebookcomputer,”says Assistant Dean for Computer andInformation Technology Shyam Nair.Professor Richard Cappalli is impressed:“‘Fabulous’is how I would describe the renovated library. Here aresome features:comfortable seating areas,great lighting,amazing sound buffering,and modern carrels for thestudents. I love atriums,and our library has two whichreach to the sky-like ceiling.”Librarian Larry Reilly observes,“The almost universalreaction to the renovated library has been,‘Now it reallylooks like a library!’”A senior faculty member recallsthat when Judge Charles Klein (for whom Klein Hall isnamed) was first shown the library in 1973,he remarkedthat it was very impressive,but wondered:“When will the interior be completed?”Now it is completed.LIBRARY PHOTOS BY STUART GOLDENBERG2004 ENTERING CLASSFUN STATISTICS!Class size:331 (day 260; evening 71)Average age:25Women:48%;Men:52%Minority students:28%Students with advanced degrees:14%Next >
