UB Law, Hodgson
share pride in history


 By MATT CHANDLER - Buffalo Law Journal


Makau Mutua,  dean of the University at Buffalo Law School, says strong relationships with area law firms benefit everyone involved.

 

As Makau Mutua and Daniel Oliverio slide their chairs up to the conference table in Mutua's second-floor office at SUNY Buffalo Law School, they share a smile that belies their respect and admiration for each other's work.

Mutua has been dean of the sole law school in the SUNY system since 2008 and he knows full well the critical role of Oliverio's firm, Hodgson Russ, in the program's success.

Likewise, Oliverio appreciates the relationship his firm - the region's largest - has enjoyed with UB Law since it helped to found the university in 1846.

Though the relationship between the two legal powerhouses is long-standing, Mutua said he sees the role of UB Law as communitywide.
