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.

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or practice:
“As in private life one differentiates between what a man thinks and says of himself and what he really is and does, so in historical struggles one must still more distinguish the language and the imaginary aspirations of parties from their real organism and their real interests, their conception of themselves from their reality.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“A little instruction in the elements of chartography—a little practice in the use of the compass and the spirit level, a topographical map of the town common, an excursion with a road map—would have given me a fat round earth in place of my paper ghost.”
—Mary Antin (1881–1949)
