Susan Scafidi, founder of Fordham’s Fashion Law Institute, is mentioned in a JD Supra Business Advisor Q&A with Barbara Pozzo of the University of Milan.
My source of inspiration has been Susan Scafidi, the Director of the Fashion Law Institute in New York, with her pioneering courses in the various fashion law fields developed at the law school of Fordham University. I met Susan some years ago, while I was giving a lecture at Fordham law school, and from the very first time we spoke we envisaged a possible cooperation between New York and Milan and Como. Milan is one of the world’s fashion capitals and Como, where I hold my chair in comparative law, is the city of silk; so we thought these were the right places to begin an initiative in the fashion law sector. Of course what Susan was doing in the States was not replicable in Italy, due to the different structure of the Italian law schools compared to the American ones.
