Biographical Note

Abraham Sofaer served as Legal Adviser to the United States Department of State from 1985 to 1990. He was then-Secretary of State George P. Shultz's principal negotiator for interstate matters including the dispute between Egypt and Israel over the Taba border and he was responsible for the reinterpretation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. He received the Distinguished Service Award in 1989, the highest state department award given to a non-civil servant. Following his resignation from the State Department in 1990, Sofaer went into private practice with the law firm Hughes Hubbard & Reed. In 1994 he became George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy and National Security Affairs at the Hoover Institution.
Sofaer was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India on May 6 1938. He is of Iraqi Jewish descent. In 1952, Sofaer and his family moved permanently to the United States. He enlisted in the Air Force in 1956 before attending Yeshiva College in 1959 where he graduated magna cum laude in American history in 1962. He attended New York University Law School from 1962-1965 as a recipient of the Root-Tilden Scholarship. He served as the editor-in-chief of the New York University Law Review and was designated the Outstanding Graduate of the Class of 1962.
Following his graduation from law school, Sofaer clerked for the U.S. Circuit Judge J. Skelly Wright (1965-1966) and Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. (1966-1967). At the end of his second clerkship, he joined the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York as an Assistant Attorney and worked under United States Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau.
In 1969, Sofaer accepted a teaching position at Columbia University Law School. He taught courses on property and administrative law. As part of his committee work, Sofaer served as Chair of the Appointment Committee and oversaw the hiring of future Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In 1969, Sofaer was appointed to lead a research project examining the federal government's constitutional powers related to use of force sponsored by the American Bar Association (ABA). Known as the War Powers Study, the project took several years to complete with the first volume in the study, War, Foreign Affairs, and Constitutional Power: The Origins, being published in 1976. The book was well received and considered an authoritative historical account by legal scholars.
Sofaer was appointed as a New York state administrative judge in 1975-1976. He presided over the first major environmental action against the improper discharge of PCBs. He issued an opinion holding General Electric responsible for discharging the chemicals in the Hudson River. This judicial work resulted in him being recommended for appointment to the federal district courts for the Southern District of New York by then-Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. On January 19, 1979 Sofaer was nominated by President Jimmy Carter to a seat on that court. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 21, 1979 and received his commission on March 23, 1979.
As a United States District Judge (USDJ), Sofaer published over 100 decisions and handled several high profile cases. His most notable case was Ariel Sharon v. Time, Inc., in which former Israeli Minister of Defense Ariel Sharon sued Time, Inc. for libel in 1983. At the conclusion of the trial in 1985, Sofaer was asked by then-Secretary of State George P. Shultz to be Legal Adviser to the U.S. Department of State. He accepted the position and resigned from the bench on June 9, 1985.
Sofaer is a founding member of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. He enjoys singing and made a CD entitled "The Nearness of You". He collected ancient coins of the Holy Land for over 40 years. He and his wife, Marian Scheuer Sofaer, gifted their coin collections to the Israel Museum and the American Numismatic Society.

Correspondence 1975-1991

Biographical / Historical

On September 5, 1975 the New York Department of Environmental Conservation initiated an enforcement proceeding against the General Electric Company for violating several sections of the Environmental Conservation Law. The Department of Environmental Conservation accused GE of discharging polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into the Hudson River, polluting the river and harming fish life. Sofaer was appointed hearing officer for the proceeding. On November 19, 1975 Sofaer granted the Natural Resources Defense Council's request to intervene. On February 9, 1976 Sofaer issued an interim opinion finding GE responsible for violating two sections of the Environmental Conservation Law by discharging PCBs. After several months of further discovery and remedial hearings, Sofaer agreed to act as a mediator in the dispute and on September 7, 1976 Sofaer published his opinion, including the agreement that GE pay the Department $3 million, devoting $1 million to research on eliminating PCBs, and contributing to ongoing monitoring of the Hudson River for these pollutants. 

Scope and Contents

Correspondence related to Sofaer's service as administrative hearing officer in the enforcement proceeding. Includes several notes of praise from legal and political figures for Sofaer's interim opinion. The bulk of proceeding materials can be found in the "subject files" sub-sub-series.

Private Legal Practice 1990-2018

Scope and Contents

This series contains materials related to Sofaer's legal work in the private sector from 1990 to 2018. From 1990 to 1994, Sofaer worked for the law firm Hughes Hubbard & Reed. Following his move to the Hoover Institution in 1994, he continued to practice law and served as an arbitrator or expert witness in several cases. This series is divided into the subseries Diaries, Case Files, Correspondence, Speeches and Writings, Subject Files, and Calendars. The Case File subseries is divided into two categories: Hughes Hubbard & Reed and Stanford. Subjects of note include Sofaer's representation of Libya in the settlement negotiations following the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988. Additional subjects include the mediations over state water-use rights of the Colorado River and Sofaer's service on the United States Airline Commission. Materials include memoranda, briefing materials, handwritten notes, and trial preparation materials.
 

Diaries 1990-1994

Scope and Contents

This sub-series documents daily activities, meetings, and travel logs of Sofaer. Materials include original handwritten notebooks and transcripts of notes. They are arranged chronologically.
