Congratulations to all the participants of this year’s Jenkins Competition:
The Zilber Forum will be the heart of Eckstein Hall, the impressive building that will become the home of Marquette University Law School this summer. I can think of four ways that it is appropriate to consider the Forum as a great part of the legacy of the Milwaukee real estate developer and philanthropist who was a 1941 graduate of the Law School and who died at 92 on Friday.
1) It is the result of an act of generosity. Especially in the last several years, Zilber was enormously generous to the city he called home all his life.
