The Bankruptcy Judges Memorial Fund
From 1988 to 2019, the Bankruptcy and Commercial Law Section of the ACBA awarded scholarships in honor of Judge Gerald K. Gibson each year to deserving bankruptcy law students from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and Thomas R. Kline School of Law at Duquesne University who demonstrate an interest in the practice of bankruptcy law and excellence in their bankruptcy coursework.
Hoping to expand this tradition, the Section established the Bankruptcy Judges’ Memorial Scholarship Award Fund with the ACBF in 2020, to honor all former Bankruptcy Judges in Allegheny County. Scholarships are awarded annually to the third-year law student at both The University of Pittsburgh School of Law and The Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University with the highest QPA in the debtor class. Your financial support of this new Scholarship Fund will be instrumental to its success. The goal is to raise at least $50,000, which will permit the Scholarship Fund to be permanent. Help us reach our goal.
