Regularly during the school year, the Dean hosts roundtable discussions with prominent guests who have utilized their law degrees in a variety of nontraditional ways. Over lunch with a small group of students, guests speak autobiographically about their work experiences, sharing valuable insight about how they found their chosen path. Please note that the roundtables are informal and off-the-record.

Jerry founded this company alongside Philip Anschutz and the late Jay Pritzker, entrepreneur. He was affiliated with KPMG Peat Marwick from 1972 to 1983. He became a partner in the firm’s Acquisition Advisory Service in 1978, specializing in analyzing, negotiating, and structuring mergers and acquisitions.
