WWW.T OUROL AW.E DU 53 T H E T O U R O L AW L E G A C Y S O C I E T Y Bruce K. Gould 84 The experience alumnus Bruce K. Gould class of 1984 encountered at Touro Law Center was life-changing. He became a critical thinker embarked on a path of self- discovery and developed the leadership skills that served him well during his career. When education is this inspiring and impactful it motivates graduates such as Gould to ensure that this enriching experience grows stronger for future students. So to continue enhancing the quality of education at Touro Law Center Gould has generously decided to leave a gift of 500000 to the law school in the form of his life insurance policy. I made this gift because I had a number of insurance policies on my life when I was in business with my family. Several of those policies were no longer necessary but still had value explained Gould 54. I decided to donate the policy to the school which is similar to appreciated property. It may not be worth the face value today but upon my death the school will receive a much larger tax-free gift.
