Law and Justice Student Award Dinner
The Law and Justice Program hosts an annual dinner each spring to recognize our students’ accomplishments. At the dinner we congratulate graduating seniors and honor students who have achieved academic distinction: The Law and Justice Student Merit Award, Certificates of Merit, and Certificates of Program Completion). The dinner is a gala event, attended by faculty, students and their guests and administrators.
Often the Student Award Dinner has also been an occasion to focus on various student achievements and accomplishments. For example, Law and Justice faculty have worked with the student-run Law Society to sponsor a research paper competition, with the winner discussing his/her paper at this event. Law and Justice Merit Award presented to a Law and Justice graduating senior in recognition of academic distinction and contributions to law and justice.
