JU Law’s founding class celebrates graduation
The inaugural 13-member class of Jacksonville University College of Law walked to the Duval County Courthouse for their graduation on May 2 with friends and coworkers cheering them on. “Looking back to our first year, there was certainly a lot of glitz and glamour that came with the challenges of starting a brand-new law school,” graduate Alex Wicks said. “It seemed like the entire Jacksonville community embraced us, eagerly awaiting our response to this pressure. How did we respond? We did amazing. We accomplished so much in three years, we started a law review, moot court, and mock trial teams, we started the JU Student Bar Association. Not only this, we accomplished it all but also excelled in our personal lives.”
When the inaugural 13-student class of Jacksonville University’s Randall C. Berg College of Law crossed the stage at the Duval County Courthouse for their graduation on May 2, they completed their law school journey in the same place where they had begun during convocation two years ago, when they took their oath of professionalism.
Senior Judge Timothy Corrigan of the U.S. Middle District of Florida delivered the commencement address.
