The Fordham Law community is deeply saddened by the passing of Fordham Law Adjunct Professor Harold Moore. Moore passed away on February 26, 2015.
Moore began teaching at Fordham Law in 2001. He taught two courses: International Project Finance and International Business Transactions.
“Harold was an extraordinarily talented and intelligent professor and attorney,” said Dean Michael M. Martin. “His friendly demeanor also made him a popular colleague and professor.”
Moore was also a partner with Skadden Arps for over 25 years. As the founder of the firm’s project finance practice, he led more than 160 project and corporate financings, representing clients such as Chase Manhattan Bank, CEMEX, Edison Mission Energy, Exxon Mobil, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, NextEra Energy, Qatar National Bank, and the U.S. Department of Energy. His numerous honors included being named one of the “Best of the Best” (Institutional Investor) and among the “Best 20 Lawyers in the World” (Commercial Lawyer).
He earned three degrees from Fordham: a B.S. in 1968, an M.A. in 1970, and a Ph.D. in 1971. He then began teaching political philosophy, ethics, and philosophy of law at Notre Dame University, where he earned his J.D. in 1980.
Moore is survived by his wife, Mary Ann, and his daughters, Melissa and Jennifer.
