Of Washington, DC, passed away Friday morning, June 23, 2017. Born in New York, NY on March 27, 1939 to Claire Harris Kaplan and Edward Emmanuel Kaplan. Lynne graduated from Bryn Mawr College, class of 1959, and was one of six women in the graduating class of Yale Law School where she earned her JD, class of 1962. After holding prominent posts in government-she was the first female section chief in the civil division of the U.S. Department of Justice-Lynne blazed a trail becoming a solo law practitioner, advocating tirelessly on behalf of her clients, for more than 30 years. She was fiercely dedicated to her law practice until her last breath. Lynne was also the editor of two volumes on counterterrorism following the 9/11 attacks, including The Law of Counterterrorism, published by the ABA Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, 2011. Lynne was a brilliant, enigmatic, charismatic, incomparably-spirited and uniquely individual person who made a strong impression on all who encountered her. Lynne will be dearly missed by her family. She is survived by her three children, Nancy-Ellen Zusman (Bob Lee), Karen Jill Zusman, and Peter Michael Zusman; her sister, Anita Kaplan Linker; her ex-husband, Morris Zusman; and her grandchildren, Madeline and Jacob Lee. Memorial Services will be held at the Linden Hills Jewish Cemetery in Queens, NY on July 20, 2017.
