"DO WELL AND DO GOOD"
Howard B. Eisenberg, Dean and Professor of Law (1995–2002)
The auction is named in memory of Howard B. Eisenberg, dean of the Law School from 1995 until 2002. Dean Eisenberg remained committed to providing legal services to people in need throughout his distinguished career. A role model for attorneys and students, he encouraged everyone to "do well and do good." With your help, the Law School's Public Interest Law Society is honored to continue serving people in need through its student fellowships.
