His experiences include a Judicial Internship with U.S. District Court Judge, and Bar Foundation Fellow, Irene M. Keeley, Research Assistant to Law Professors Cavalieri and cummings, Associate Editor for the WV Law Review, Executive Committee, WV Fund for Law in the Public Interest, Member of the Ethics Council and Treasurer for the Public Interest Advocates and for the American Constitution Society.
In a personal note to the Board of Directors, Michael stated “I am very honored, and humbled, to have received this award. This gift enables me to continue my focus in public service and provide help to those in my community. My experience at WVU has thus far been very rewarding and engaging, and I look forward to not only finishing my academic work, but also helping those West Virginians once I finish.”
Congratulations to Michael Nissim-Sabat!
