From Dean Dan - April 27, 2017

I am proud to recognize Boyd Charter Class member Daron Dorsey, who last night was honored as the William S. Boyd School of Law Alumnus of the Year at the 2017 Annual Alumni Awards. Daron was selected for this award by Boyd's Alumni Chapter Board for his many contributions to the law school. Daron started the Alumni Chapter's very successful annual golf tournament. He also co-founded and co-chairs the Alumni Leadership Circle and co-chairs the Law Fund. We are incredibly grateful for Daron's tremendous service to the school, and we congratulate him on this well-deserved award.

Last weekend, we were proud to host the 19th Annual Clark County Bar Association (CCBA) / William S. Boyd School of Law Moot Court Competition for the students in the first year class. We are particularly grateful to attorney Robert Eglet for hosting the final round of the competition in the terrific moot courtroom at the Robert T. Eglet Advocacy Center. Please join me in congratulating the final four competitors: first place winner Will Carter, second place winner Lucy Crow, third place winner Steven Kish, and fourth place winner Jonathan Moss. I'd also like to congratulate the other students who competed in the two-day competition and thank the local attorneys, judges, faculty, staff, and volunteers for helping to make this event a success. Special recognition goes to our final round judges: Justice Kristina Pickering, Nevada Supreme Court; Judge James Mahan, U.S. District Court, District of Nevada; and Robert Eglet. The judges were extremely impressed with the quality of our students' arguments.
