Kennedy Scholars Visit Washington, D.C.
11/14/2012
On Monday, April 20, 2009 the law school’s Kennedy Scholars traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. The Kennedy Scholar program was established in honor of Justice Kennedy, who delivered the keynote address at the dedication of Lawrence W. Inlow Hall in 2001. This prestigious scholarship consists of full tuition for the first year of law school, renewable for two additional years by maintaining a 3.4 grade point average. It also includes a trip to Washington, D.C. to see the U.S. Supreme Court in session.
The group heard oral arguments for Iraq v. Beaty and Iraq v. Simon, (consolidated) and Horne v. Flores and Speaker of the Arizona House v. Flores, (consolidated). One of the counselors for the second argument was Kenneth Starr, former Solicitor General.
