Law student Thomas H. Wing sworn in for the limited practice of law

2015 Feb 6

Delaware Supreme Court Justice Randy J. Holland recently administered the oath for seven law students to join the Delaware Bar for the limited practice of law. The Feb. 2 court hearing was held in connection with the students' work with the Delaware Civil Clinic and a public-service externship.

The Delaware Civil Clinic students are supervised by Associate Professor and Clinic Director Dana Harrington Conner and Catherine Zwolak Kilian, clinic staff attorney. An externship with the Community Legal Aid Society Inc will be supervised by attorney James G. McGiffin Jr.

The students include:

Thomas H. Wing, of Philadelphia, Pa. (19103). Wing is participating in the Delaware Civil Clinic. He will graduate in May. He is married to Sandra J. Hazeltine and is the son of Kennard Wing and Cara McMenamin of Havertown, Pa.

Holland, who is a member of the adjunct faculty, told the students law is a calling, not just a job.

"When you have a law degree, responsibility transcends the accumulation of wealth. You have the keys to the courthouse door and it's your responsibility to open it for the rich and poor alike," he said. "Therefore, I congratulate you for recognizing the public service component of the law."
