2014 May 13

The Widener Law campus in Wilmington, Del. held its annual student awards ceremony Wednesday, April 23 in the Ruby R. Vale Moot Courtroom of the Main Law Building. The annual event honors students for academic and leadership achievements.

Widener University President James T. Harris III attended the program and told students their accomplishments, amid the rigors of law school, are remarkable. Law, he said, is one of the "highest callings."

"There is always a need for justice. Lawyers make sure justice gets served," Harris said.

Those honored included:

James D. Saintvil of Woolwich Township, N.J., 8085.

He received the dean's minority student scholarship, awarded to a deserving second year student, from a group traditionally underrepresented in law schools, who displays qualities of scholarship, leadership and service to the school or community.

Saintvil will graduate in December 2014. He plans to take the New York and New Jersey bar exams.
