The Law School Challenge
The Philip R. Shawe Scholarship Challenge Gala Wraps with over $115K Awarded to Law Students.
University of Miami Levin School of Law recent graduate Steven Hermosa took the top prize of $65K,
with Yale’s Alison Tilden and McKay Neumeuster and Suffolk University’s Catherine Dowie walking
away tied for second place and $25K. The competition initially called for three top prizes of $65K,
$25K and $10K, but the judges were deadlocked on the second and third place contenders,
and asked Shawe if he would agree to offer two second place awards and forgoing third place.
At the gala, Shawe made a public offer to his co-CEO Liz Elting, with whom he has been battling
for control of the company – Elting can name her price for TransPerfect, any price she wants,
and Shawe will have the option to buy or sell at the price Elting sets. It is an offer that Professor
Alan Dershowitz, one of the judges of the competition and an attorney for 1% TransPerfect
shareholder Shirley Shawe, said was the “Paradigm of Justice.”
