DESIGNATED DONATION-JESSICA JUSTICE STOLARIK
The WV Bar Foundation’s Board of Directors wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Rob Fisher (Ripley) for his generous donation in honor of Jessica Justice Stolarik’s extraordinary leadership of the highly regarded WV Continuing Legal Education program at the WVU College of Law.
Jessie, who retired as Assistant Dean earlier this spring, was the first and only Director of the CLE program from its inception in the early 1980’s. Thousands of WV licensed attorneys utilized WVCLE seminars, webinars, audio and video presentations to receive their voluntary and then mandatory CLE credits in order to practice law in the state. Every single one of those activities received positive evaluations because of the understanding and preparation that was accomplished by Jessie, her small number of staff members and the strong support of numerous members of the WVCLE Committee.
Both Jessie and Rob are Bar Foundation Fellows with Rob having served as a Bar Foundation Board member.
Best wishes to Jessie as she enjoys her well deserved retirement and much thanks to Rob for his wonderful donation to honor Jessie’s superb leadership and service!
