HOUSTON, Feb. 2 – The American College of Bankruptcy and
the Library of Congress have tapped University of Houston Law Center
Dean Nancy B. Rapoport for two distinguished posts.
In March, Rapoport will be inducted as a Fellow of the American
College of Bankruptcy, where she will join distinguished bankruptcy
professionals who set standards of achievement for others in the
insolvency community.
“I’m thrilled to be inducted as a fellow of this superb
organization, and I look forward to working with some truly legendary
people,” Rapoport said.
Rapoport also has been selected to serve on the Library of Congress’
Advisory Committee for its project “The Birth of the Dot-Com
Era.” The project will preserve at-risk digital materials
from the American business culture involving the early years of
the commercialization of the Internet.
Rapoport has been dean at the UH Law Center since 2000. She is
the co-editor of the book “Enron: Corporate Fiascos and Their
Implications.”
She received her undergraduate degree from Rice University and
her J.D. from Stanford Law School. She clerked for the Honorable
Joseph T. Sneed on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit and then practiced law (primarily bankruptcy law) with Morrison
& Foerster in San Francisco. She started her academic career
at Ohio State University College of Law in 1991, and she moved from
Assistant Professor to Associate Professor to Associate Dean for
Student Affairs and Professor in 1998 (just as she left Ohio State
to become Dean and Professor at University of Nebraska College of
Law). She served as Dean of the University of Nebraska College of
Law from 1998-2000. Her specialties are bankruptcy ethics and law
and popular culture.
Rapoport also has been appointed recently to serve on the city
