Dear Friend:

We invite you to a special evening in honor of Professor Robert M. Zinman as he begins his final year of full-time teaching.  All proceeds from the event will be contributed to the Robert M. Zinman Bankruptcy Scholarship Fund to provide an annual scholarship to a deserving LL.M. in Bankruptcy student at the Law School.
 
The reception and buffet dinner will be held at 6:00 PM at The University Club, One West 54th Street in Manhattan.  Tickets are $200.00 per person.  In addition, we invite you to make a contribution to the scholarship fund.  For a gift of at least $1,000, you will be recognized as a Contributor in the evening’s program.  For a gift of $5,000 or more, you will be recognized in the program as a Benefactor and invited to a special pre-event reception with Professor Zinman.  Your gift can be made over a five-year period.  Attached is the reservation and donation form. 

For decades, Bob has been a leader in the insolvency and real estate fields.  After an outstanding practice career at Metropolitan Life, Bob moved to an academic career as a Professor at St. John’s.   While at St. John’s, Bob founded the ABI Law Review, co-edited the New York Real Property Journal, and established the annual Duberstein National Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition.  In 1999, at age 68, Bob started the nation’s first and only LL.M. in Bankruptcy program.  Bob has been a major force in our profession and has changed the lives of countless students.  What better way to recognize his many contributions than to establish a permanent scholarship in his honor in the LL.M. program?

We hope you will join us for this special evening and make the scholarship drive a success.

Sincerely,

The Robert M. Zinman Scholarship Committee
