Private Practice
After leaving public service in 1978, Mr. Scoppetta joined the faculty of New York University School of Law where he was a Professor of Law and Director of the Institute of Judicial Administration.
In 1979 New York State Governor Hugh L. Carey appointed Scoppetta to a post on the The Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor.
In 1980, Scoppetta, along with Eric A. Seiff (a long-time friend from his days at the Manhattan D.A.'s Office), founded the law firm of Scoppetta & Seiff (now known as Seiff Kretz & Abercrombie), where he engaged in the private practice of law until his full-time return to public service in 1996 as the first commissioner of the NYC Administration for Children’s Services.
From February 1995 to January 1996, he was Chairman of the five-member Commission to Combat Police Corruption which was created by Mayor Giuliani to monitor the New York City Police Department’s anti-corruption efforts.

“Certainly, young children can begin to practice making letters and numbers and solving problems, but this should be done without workbooks. Young children need to learn initiative, autonomy, industry, and competence before they learn that answers can be right or wrong.”
