Widener Law
School on the Delaware campus honored Youth Court programs developed at Bayard
Middle School and Chester High School during a program that celebrates the
legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The event was held in the Ruby R. Vale
Moot Courtroom on Concord Pike, Wilmington, Delaware.
The Youth
Court programs received the school’s Martin Luther King Service Award on Tuesday,
January 20th. The event also
kicked off Widener’s Semester of Service Program.
This is the
fifth year the school has presented the award. It goes to a community member or
organization that has brought life to King’s dream, and whose work has
manifested those commitments to community service and to social justice that
the school of law seeks to realize in its Semester of Service
Project. Through the project, Widener Law students contribute their
efforts to charitable labor and pro bono law-related service. The semester of
service happens each spring and is now in its ninth year.
A hearty
congratulation! Thank you Widener Law for including me for an award this year.
