Noted alumnus is set to donate the largest single gift in the law school's history

Loyola University Chicago's School of Law will be renamed the Philip H. Corboy Law Center after the noted alumnus and prominent personal injury attorney who donated the largest single gift in the law school's history, it will be announce Monday.

Corboy, 85, and his wife, Mary A. Dempsey, would not disclose the amount of their donation. But it trumps the $5 million given by Bernard J. Beazley in 2006, the previous biggest contribution. Their donation will be disbursed over 15 years to support student scholarships, faculty hiring and ongoing renovations of the law school building.

"There are very few living lawyers who have had the kind of impact Phil Corboy has," said David Yellen, the law school's dean. "He largely transformed the practice of personal injury law. ... He's been a teacher and mentor to a couple of generations of leading lawyers in the country."
