U.S. District Chief Judge Gerald “Jerry” Rosen ’73 is being credited with playing a key role in Detroit’s historic bankruptcy case, settled Nov. 7, when U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes approved the city’s restructuring plan. Rosen was appointed in 2013 as the federal mediator in the case and helped broker an “$816 million deal that has come to be known as ‘the grand bargain,’ an improbable arrangement hashed out in many months of behind-the-scenes negotiations with foundations, the State of Michigan and the Detroit Institute of Arts,” according to one Detroit Free Press article.
