Ilene Seidman, professor of clinical law, was recently awarded the Equal Justice Works 2007 Outstanding Law School Faculty Award, given each year to one law faculty member in the nation for his or her outstanding work on behalf of students seeking careers in public interest law. Lindy Aldrich, JD ’06 and Kate Lawson, JD ’06, both former public interest students at Suffolk Law who now work together at the Victim Rights Law Center, were the first to nominate Seidman. “It was the easiest decision,” says Aldrich. “Ilene played an enormous role in the support, guidance, and inspiration we had while students, and this support continues in our current practice as public interest attorneys.” |
