"My years at Queens College were the greatest growth years I can recall. During the summer before my freshman year, I began reading the Contemporary Civilization textbooks, and a new world of intellectual thought opened up to me. I had planned to concentrate in music, but after my first year of CC and the introductory philosophy course, I pursued studies in philosophy and history, venturing into art history and literature as well. My decision to attend Harvard Law School followed from those studies, and I have continued to enjoy reading in those subjects right up to the present time. One of my favorite professors was Dr. Richard Emery, who taught that introductory CC course without notes, and with fascinating anecdotes and calm insight. Dr. John McDermott, with whom I took a number of philosophy courses, was temperamentally much more effusive, but equally incisive and exciting as a professor. As I reflect back on my college years, I am struck by the excitement and love of learning that my professors at Queens College instilled in me."

Upon completing his training, he was employed as a law clerk by the Wall Street firm LeBoeuf, Lamb, Leiby & MacRae. Prior to that, he clerked with the New York City Law Department.

After graduating from Harvard in 1971, Redlich joined the Boston firm now known as Rubin & Rudman, where he was involved in a variety of matters, including corporate and securities work, litigation, and commercial practice. He then joined the firm of Widett, Slater & Goldman P.C., before establishing his own firm in 1984.
