The Stanley and Nancy Grossman Family Foundation has made a major gift to the Penn Law Public Interest Loan Repayment Assistance Program. The Grossman family has had a long relationship with the University of Pennsylvania. Judd Grossman is a graduate of the Law School’s class of 2004, and the College in 2000. He is currently clerking for Judge Jerome B. Simandle, U.S. District Judge for the District of New Jersey.

Grossman is the senior partner of Pomerantz Haudek Block Grossman & Gross LLP, one of the premier law firms in the areas of corporate and securities class action litigation. He is currently a director of the Appleseed Foundation and the Lincoln Center Institute for the Arts and Education.
