Facilitating careers in commercial and bankruptcy law
The Barry L. Zaretsky Fellowship was established in honor of Professor Zaretsky, a member of the BLS faculty from 1978 until his death in 1997. Professor Zaretsky was a mentor to generations of students, a distinguished scholar in the fields of commercial and bankruptcy law, and a dedicated classroom teacher. The fellowship provides a stipend to a student who has demonstrated excellence in the field of bankruptcy or commercial law.
The Zaretsky Fellow works with faculty members and graduates in developing program content and materials for use in connection with the annual Zaretsky Roundtable. The Roundtable celebrates Professor Zaretsky's life and achievements by bringing together distinguished practitioners, judges, and academics to discuss cutting-edge commercial and bankruptcy law topics.
