Cunningham, a nationally recognized expert in partnership tax law, is a California native who attended U.C. Davis and Hastings College of Law. After earning her J.D., she practiced at Janin, Morgan & Brenner in San Francisco, with a focus on tax and estate planning. She moved to New York in 1987 and earned her LL.M. from NYU School of Law.

The Cardozo community, including students, faculty and staff, will celebrate Cunningham’s retirement with a reception on May 24. 

“I cannot thank Professor Cunningham enough for her dedicated years of service to Cardozo,” said Dean Leslie. “In addition to inspiring generations of students, she has been an outstanding colleague and a true friend. We will miss her very much.”
