Judge Arthur Greenwald

A note from Judge Kwan:

Jon,

I did not know if you were aware of the news that Retired Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Greenwald passed away on June 4.  I just learned this from Chief Judge Carroll.  The memorial service is Monday morning June 9 at Mt. Sinai Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills (see link below).  I’m not sure if the word has gotten out to the bar, but I thought you would want to know.

RECEPTION HONORING THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY

May 8, 2014

5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. (Registration at 5:00 p.m.)

Location:
City Hall – Tom Bradley Room
200 N. Spring St., 26th Fl.
Los Angeles
Reception will be in the Tom Bradley Room. Take elevator to the 22nd floor, then change elevators to the 26th floor.

Magnificently restored, the former Tower Room is once again the jewel in the crown of Los Angeles City Hall. The room is atop the City Hall Tower, which rises 27 floors above Spring and Main Streets, and for decades was the tallest structure in Los Angeles. The restoration of City Hall following the Northridge Earthquake included the ornate ceiling decorations, art deco lighting fixtures, and huge windows looking out to an observation deck with 360 degree views over the city. Following its restoration, the room has been named in honor of Mayor Tom Bradley.
