Brooklyn Law School’s ‘Evidence Guru’ Prof. Richard Farrell dies at 80
The Brooklyn Law School (BLS) community is reeling this week after beloved professor Richard T. Farrell, a fixture on the campus for nearly 60 years, died on Wednesday at the age of 80.
Farrell graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 1964 and immediately joined the faculty. He taught courses in evidence and New York civil practice and eventually became known as the “Evidence Guru” not only in Brooklyn, but throughout New York.
