Congratulations to our colleague Bruce Lepore for earning the coveted Larry Kressel Memorial Scholarship! The scholarship is a memorial scholarship dedicated to Larry Kressel, former professor at Lewis & Clark Law School, who was one of Oregon’s best land use planning attorneys. Eileen “Ikie” Kressel who established the scholarship in honor of her husband Larry, wanted to recognize an outstanding student in the area of land use law. We are thrilled that not only is Bruce at the top of his class but also that he was chosen as the recipient of this award.

Bruce is currently in his final year of law school at Lewis & Clark Law School. When Bruce graduates in Summer 2018 (with top marks), he will be joining the firm full-time as a Partner.

Keep up the good work Bruce!
