What the Endowment Funds
|
|
In addition to research and scholarships, the ABI Endowment Funds supports law school and business school competitions.
ABI’s 15th Annual Corporate Restructuring Competition was held on Nov. 9 in Chicago, and a team of students from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania took top honors for the fourth consecutive year. This was the school’s seventh time overall earning the Bettina M. Whyte Trophy, which is presented each year to the winning team. The Anthony H.N. Schnelling Endowment Fund provided cash prizes of $6,000, $3,500 and $2,500 for the top three teams, respectively.

|
In March, the 27th Annual Duberstein Moot Court Competition will feature 60 teams. The competition, funded by the Endowment Fund, is the nation’s only moot court competition devoted to bankruptcy law. One of the nation’s largest appellate competitions, it’s named for distinguished St. John’s alumnus and former ABI Director Hon. Conrad B. Duberstein, who passed away in 2005 at the age of 90.
