Boyd Student Wins Two Awards

Kimberly E. Loges ’11 won a $1,000 scholarship from the Anti-Defamation League’s Nevada Regional Office for her winning essay submitted in conjunction with The Four Jewish Trials that Changed History lecture series sponsored by the ADL, supported by nine local law firms, and presented at the Boyd School of Law Moot Court earlier this year.

Developed initially for attorneys as a Continuing Legal Education course (CLE) carrying ethics credit, the four-month lecture series also was opened to law students.

Motivated primarily by a love of history, Kimberly said she decided to attended all four lectures before she learned about the scholarship competition.

More recently, Kimberly contributed her advocacy skills to a team that won the Society of Advocates Mock Trials Competition in October 2009.

Eight four-member teams competed, and according to Siria Gutierrez ‘10, President 2009-2010 SOA, “There was some fantastic advocacy! I assure you it was a hard fought battle to the finals.”

She added, “Each member of the winning team received a free 3-day MBE Final Review Bar Prep Course, valued at $499, courtesy of Kaplan PMBR. In addition, their names will be memorialized in a plaque and displayed at the school.”

Kimberly holds two Bachelor of Arts Degrees from Washington State University, Pullman: one in comparative ethnic studies and another in women’s studies with a minor in economics specializing in sustainable development.
