The Honorable

honored by Penn Law School and the Delaware legal community in April.
Judge Arsht, an esteemed lawyer before being named the first woman judge
on Delaware Family Court, made a gift of $2 million to the Law School
in 2001 to establish the S. Samuel Arsht Professorship in Corporate
Law in memory of her late husband S. Samuel Arsht W’31, L’34.
Mr. Arsht, who died in 1999, was a founding partner of Morris Nichols
Arsht and Tunnel in Wilmington and widely considered the mastermind of
the Delaware Corporate Code.
