(Update June 28 – the NY Times has an article about Judge Brozman here).

From the Wall Steeet Journal Legal Blog –

Tina Brozman, the former chief judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan and the co-head of Bingham McCutchen’s restructuring practice, died yesterday after a long battle with cancer. She was 54. …

At 32, Brozman (Fordham Law) became the youngest bankruptcy judge ever appointed in the Second Circuit. Prior to becoming a judge, she was a partner at Anderson Kill; she joined Bingham McCutchen in 2000 after stepping down from the bench. Most recently, Brozman had worked on the high-profile bankruptcy of Refco, representing the trustee of Refco Capital Markets. The National Law Journal recently named her one of the 50 Most Influential Women Lawyers in America.
