Jim has been an environmental lawyer for about 40 years, see description below. He is a (nearly) life-long New Yorker - he graduated from three schools in Manhattan - Regis High School, Columbia College, NYU Law School (with a M.A. in English lit from the U. of Virginia in Charlottesville between college & law school). 3 children, 7 grandchildren. My interests outside of practicing law include, besides being an active Grandpa, being a member, Center for Research in the Humanities, New York Public Library (see my website https://italianamericanimprints.omeka.net/ to see my area of research) and active member of the Grolier Club of New York, a bibliophilic organization, as well as playing the accordion.
