Attorney Michael P. Richman is so committed to growing the network of lawyers in the field of bankruptcy that he has dedicated time out of his busy practice to serve as an adjunct professor and teach Bankruptcy at UW Law School. He has also volunteered countless hours with his colleague and spouse, Claire Richman, to coach a moot court team to attend a bankruptcy competition.
Richman’s former firm, Steinhilber Swanson LLP, generously supported the team in the 2023-24 year by financing travel and competition costs to attend the Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition, hosted at St. John’s Law and the American Bankruptcy Institute.
“Participating in the Duberstein Bankruptcy Competition was one of my most memorable Law School experiences,” said Brooke Wiegert, Class of 2025. “The guidance from Professor Richman and his wife, attorney Claire Richman, was invaluable as we prepared for competition. Arriving at both the regional and national competitions, our team felt well-prepared to answer whatever was thrown our way.”
UW Law is grateful to Professor Richman, his former firm and his new firm, Richman & Richman, for their time, dedication and financial support, said Jini Jasti, associate dean for external affairs and alumni relations.
“Support like this ensures UW Law continues to provide these great opportunities for our students to thrive,” she said.
