including two advocating a reduction of restrictions on lawyer advertising (see list of publications below). Brickman wrote of his time in Toledo soon after taking up his position on the faculty at Cardozo in New York City, in the recently-established University of Toledo Law Review, on the occasion of Karl Krastin's (1910-1998) retirement from the institution. He recalled the "'go-go' reputation about the law school at Toledo. It was looked upon as a place where much was happening; where there was much intellectual ferment and movement toward excellence." Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University There was plenty of ferment, intellectual and otherwise, at the newly founded Cardozo when Brickman returned to his native city in 1976. The school's founding dean, Monrad G. Paulsen (1918-1980), had served as dean of the University of Virginia School of Law, and on the faculties of the University of Utah, University of Minnesota, Indiana University, Columbia University, University of Göttingen, and University of Freiburg. The first dozen or so full-time Cardozo faculty members, a third of whom were women, were building a law school at Yeshiva University from scratch, establishing a law review by 1979 and designing an innovative curriculum that reflected the school's urban location in the nation's largest city. The Class of 1979 consisted of 300 students, of whom nearly half were women, reflecting the progressive agenda that had recruited women to the founding faculty. Competition for students, however, was keen, and ethnic and racial diversity difficult to achieve. Cardozo alumni from these early years reported chronically malfunctioning elevators, construction noises during bar examinations, and constant efforts to stretch resources to meet urgent needs. Complicating this picture were the failing health and personal challenges of the founding dean, who left the Cardozo in the spring of 1980, and died in November 1981. Lester Brickman, who was 40 in the fall of 1980, and in the process of becoming a father for the second time, reluctantly accepted the acting deanship of the struggling school, admitting later that he had been carrying much of the administrative burden since his arrival. "It was very hard on the students," he reported in 2002. "We didn't have a registrar. We didn't have a business manager. The associate dean was a part-time position. We had no budget. We did not have the infrastructure of a law school." Perhaps worst of all, the school had as yet only provisional
