Biography

Prince was born in Manhattan,[1] New York, and had two brothers. His father was a tobacco salesman. He graduated from City College cum laude where he was Phi Beta Kappa. He earned two degrees at Brooklyn Law School, an LLB in 1933 and an SJD in 1934 – both summa cum laude. He was Editor in Chief of the Brooklyn Law Review in his senior year. He joined the faculty at Brooklyn Law School in 1934. He was named assistant dean in 1940 and vice dean in 1945 before becoming Dean in 1953. After retiring, Prince remained on the faculty, continuing to teach the law of evidence, his specialty, until he died in 1988.[1][4][5]

Prince was married twice, the second time to the former Elaine Lederman. He had two daughters from his first marriage.[1]

The Dean Jerome Prince Evidence Competition is an annual competition hosted by Brooklyn Law School.[6][7] Participants write an appellate brief and then present an oral argument on an evidentiary issue in a contemporary context.[6][8]
