The Philip D. Reed Lecture Series is an annual lecture that pays tribute to Philip D. Reed, a distinguished graduate of Fordham Law School. Philip D. Reed received his law degree from Fordham in 1924. The Philip D. Reed Chair, presently held by Professor Daniel Capra, is named in his honor. Each year, the Philip D. Reed Chair invites distinguished judges, lawyers, and scholars to participate in panel discussions and symposia on current issues affecting federal judges and federal courts.
