"I consider it a great privilege to teach here at Albany Law School given the extraordinary commitment of our students and the fact that following graduation many of them will fill the most important government and private sector positions in the state of New York. Teaching also fuels my scholarship, giving me a chance to develop ideas in conversation with students and to test drive new theories to make sure that they are understandable and grounded in the practical concerns of legal practice." - Professor Lytton
