- University of New Mexico School of Law
Director of Development Hannah Farrington writes:
“We have received so many calls and emails alerting us to Paul’s passing – I want you to know that an extraordinary amount of people made the effort to communicate with the Dean and the Law School about how important Paul was and how significant his contributions to the legal, Water Law and Natural Resources communities have been.
“… I will establish a memorial fund account, so that those who wish to select UNM School of Law, under Giving in Paul’s Memory, may do so. …
“Select Make a Gift to UNM and then select School of Law from the menu. Type Paul L. Bloom Memorial Fund under “Enter any gift designation not in the list above.”
“I am available to help you and your family in any way that we can, and I hope that we can offer you some comfort at this time by helping to honor and commemorate Paul’s distinguished career this way.”
