Summary:
The George A. Leet Business Law Symposium Endowment was established in 1999 to provide a national forum on business law at Case Western Reserve University School of Law. The symposium, which is held in alternate years, generates knowledge for our students as well as scholars, lawyers, and business people across the country. George Leet was a dedicated and generous supporter of the University for many years. A graduate of Adelbert College (1940) and Case Western Reserve University School of Law (1946), he spent almost his entire career with the National Labor Relations Board, first as attorney-advisor to a board member, then as assistant executive secretary (1953), associate executive secretary (1961), and senior associate executive secretary (1972). He retired in 1980. In 1998, Mr. Leet received the University's Newton D. Baker Distinguished Alumni Award for exceptionally meritorious service to Case Western Reserve University. He was a founding member and a past president of the Washington, D.C. alumni chapter, was inducted into the law school's Society of Benchers in 1989, and served as a longtime member of the Law Alumni Association Board.
