What C|M|LAW Means to Me?
C|M|LAW totally shaped and influenced who I am and what I have accomplished. As a former adjunct instructor and a past president of the Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association, I am so proud to see how each year our law school continues to produce outstanding local and state judges and outstanding legal minds. Honestly, without the training, opportunities and education that I received from C|M|LAW, I would not be the person or the lawyer that I am today. I am humbled and honored to be a 2018 Hall of Fame inductee of the finest law school in the nation.
