Last night, Director of the Law School’s Securities Arbitration Clinic Christine Lazaro received the Legal Society Distinguished Service Award at the College of Professional Studies’ Division of Criminal Justice, Legal Studies and Homeland Security’s Annual Honor Societies Induction and Awards Dinner.  The award was for “leadership, service, and dedication to the students of the Legal Studies Program” and came about as a result of the partnership between the Securities Arbitration Clinic and the Legal Studies Program.  Students from the program intern each semester as paralegals in the Clinic.  The Legal Studies undergraduates gain experience working in a legal setting, while the Clinic students learn delegation and supervision skills.
