I was Judge Pratt´s Civ Pro I and Civ Pro II student as a 1L at Touro for the Fall 01 to Spring 02 year. He was a a remarkable professor of law and overall great man who was always there for me whenever I had questions or wished to talk. I remember the lessons 20 plus years later. I still remember and often use a saying he said early on in the academic year. `Never annoy the mind you´re trying to persuade." My prayers go out to his family. Rest in peace Judge.

It was a privilege to have known the Judge in and out of the courtroom. A scholar with common sense and compassion.
Well rounded as an athlete and singer. Blessed to have him as a model and friend.
