The Horace S. Manges Lecture & Conference Fund

THE HORACE S. MANGES LECTURE & CONFERENCE FUND was established by the law firm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges in 1986 in memory of its esteemed partner Horace S. Manges, '19. Generous contributions to this Fund were made by Mr. Manges's family, friends, colleagues, clients, and other associates. Mr. Manges was a distinguished trial lawyer and was counsel to leading writers and publishers and to the American Book Publishers Council (now the Association of American Publishers). A founder, officer, and trustee of the Copyright Society of the U.S.A., he also performed important government service and played an active role in the development of copyright legislation.

DIANE LEENHEER ZIMMERMAN '76, the Samuel Tilden Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, was an award-winning reporter for Newsweek and the New York Daily News before attending Columbia Law School. After clerking for the Hon. Jack B. Weinstein in the Eastern District of New York, she joined N.Y.U.'s faculty in 1977. Prof. Zimmerman's teaching and scholarship focus on issues of civil liberties and intellectual property. In 1994, in recognition of her first amendment scholarship, she served as the Lee Distinguished Visiting Professor of Constitutional Law at the College of William and Mary. Prof. Zimmerman has chaired the American Bar Association's First Amendment Rights Committee and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York's Civil Rights Committee. She has been an expert witness for the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee, and a member of the National Coalition Against Censorship's Working Group on Women, Censorship and Pornography. She was appointed the Reporter for the Gender Committee of the Second Circuit Task Force on Gender, Racial and Ethnic Fairness. Prof. Zimmerman serves on the editorial board of the Journal of the Copyright Society of the U.S.A. and is a former member of the Society's board of trustees. Recently, she was the inaugural holder of the Distinguished Visiting Hosier Chair in Intellectual Property at the DePaul College of Law.
