David Berke ’17 Named Winner of Student Writing Competition

David Berke ’17 was the first-place winner of the 2015 Mary Moers Wenig Student Writing Competition. Berke’s paper, “Family Values: An Evaluation of Internal Revenue Code Sections 2703 and 2704 (b),” was published in the ACTEC Law Journal, Volume 41, Number 1 in spring of 2016. 

The competition was created by the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel’s Legal Education Committee, which consists of law school professors who teach in the area of trusts and estates and practitioners who teach as adjuncts in the trusts and estates field. The competition honors the late Mary Moers Wenig, a member of ACTEC’s Legal Education Committee, who was a law school professor for over 30 years. The competition was created to encourage and reward scholarly works in the area of trusts and estates.
