Cooper Levenson, an Atlantic City-based law firm, established the fund to benefit college-bound area residents as part of a year-long celebration of the firm’s 50th anniversary in 2007– and in honor of the practice’s founding partner James L. Cooper, a man who dedicated his life to the law, education, civil rights and community service.
“Our firm has always taken our role as a corporate citizen seriously, and we know that the best way to ensure a strong future for our community and region is to invest in our youth,”, said Lloyd D. Levenson, CEO. “In keeping with the example set by our founder Jim Cooper, we help local students – high school seniors who demonstrate civic responsibility and academic achievement – reach their goals for a higher education.”
