First Max Kravitz Memorial Golf Outing Draws Alumni, Friends of the Law School

August 19, 2008

Kravitz Brown & Dortch, LLC and Capital University Law School held the First Annual Max Kravitz Memorial Golf Outing on Mon., Aug. 11, 2008, at the beautiful New Albany Country Club.

Participating in the 18-hole shotgun scramble, 60 golfers competed for prizes on every hole. At the reception held that evening, 100 people gathered to enjoy hors d'oeuvres and cocktails.

The golf outing earned support for the recently-established Max Kravitz Memorial Endowment Fund at Capital University Law School. This fund assists with loan repayment for graduates who pursue a criminal defense career in the public sector.

“Max was a champion throughout his life for those who could not afford a proper defense,” said Janet Kravitz. “He would be thrilled to know that the Endowment Fund is being used for this purpose.”
