Marquis Who's Who Millennium Magazine

45 A Marquis Who's Who Magazine A graduate of Duke University and both the Harvard and Columbia Law Schools, Larry Alan Bear moved quickly from trial practice into an interdisciplinary focus on legal medicine and forensic science; law, politics and public policy; law and markets; and the financial system. Two examples of his experience with law, politics and public policy are Mr. Bear’s time as statewide campaign coordinator of Endicott Peabody’s successful run for governor of Massachusetts and his work over a 13-year period as moderator of “Conference Call,” a three- hour Sunday night public affairs radio program for the American Broadcasting Company in New York, while being engaged in his other full- time endeavors. Legal medicine and forensic science were key to his efforts as commissioner of the Addiction Services Agency of the City of New York, where he helped to develop and lead the first major citywide drug abuse prevention, intervention and treatment program in the United States, and to his work as a professor of law at the University of Puerto Rico and medico-legal consultant to the Puerto Rico Department of Justice, where he helped in the planning of the Puerto Rico Medical Examiner Department. Later, given his long-term interest in the interplay of law and the U.S. market system, and with the help and encouragement of his wife, finance professor Rita Maldonado-Bear, he joined the faculty of the Stern School of Business of New York University as visiting professor of markets, ethics and law. His publications indicating the range of his interdisciplinary interests include: Law, Medicine, Science and Justice and Free Markets, Finance, Ethics and Law.
