The Oregon Women Lawyers Foundation is pleased to announce the selection of three outstanding third year law students as recipients of this year’s Armonica Law Student Grants. This year’s recipients are Jessica McKie of Lewis & Clark Law School, Jemine Mode of University of Oregon School of Law, and Angela Wanak of Willamette College of Law.
The Armonica Law Student Grant Program was created in honor of the late Armonica Gilford, a former Foundation board member. The grant is available to 3rdyear law students attending the three Oregon law schools who can demonstrate a commitment to the Foundation’s goals through their personal, volunteer or education experience. Each recipient receives a book grant in the amount of $500 and an opportunity to be mentored by an ethnic minority female judge or attorney. This year’s mentors are Judges Adrienne Nelson and Youlee You of the Multnomah County Circuit Court and Judge Darleen Ortega of the Oregon Court of Appeals.
