J. REUBEN CLARK LAW SOCIETY CONFERENCE 2012
ELLA FUNDING FOR CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE AND LAW SCHOOL VISITS
• In Fall 2011, a grant was written to ELLA, the Engaged Learning in the Liberal Arts committee, a standing committee in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, asking for ELLA to fund the travel of two UVU Christine M. Durham Prelaw Club board members to Northern California law schools and to attend the 9th Annual J. Reuben Clark Law Society Conference, to be held at Stanford University in February, 2012.
• The grant was funded and Jamey Mora, President, and Dillon Erickson, Vice President, drove to California, stopping at law schools on their way to the Bay Area for the conference to which over 400 attorneys and 200 law students attend annually.
