The Illinois State Bar Association recognized third-year law student Andrea R. Taylor from the Southern Illinois University School of Law for her public service and academic achievements.
Taylor’s achievements include involvement with the law school’s Self-Help Legal Center, the Domestic Violence Legal Clinic and the Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Center. Her attitude toward pro-bono work is centered on the idea that every person is entitled to justice, not just those who can afford it.
“It has been wonderful being able to help people again and put my legal education to use,” Taylor said.
Jack C. Carey, president of the Illinois State Bar Association, described Taylor as an “outstanding law student whose volunteer participation is truly outstanding.” The Bar Association expects to see continued excellence in her future contributions to the legal community.
