Major $$ gift from Kirkland & Ellis

Details here.

Thanks abound, of course.  Special gratitude is owed to our able development team and to our alum and Law Board member, Jeff Hammes, managing partner at K & E, with whom I first discussed this endeavor.  The $5 million gift will make a meaningful difference in our efforts; and it sets just the right tone as we pursue bold fundraising strategies for the benefit of current and future generations of NU Law students.
