LUNCH AND LAUGHS SCHOLARSHIP-
The Bar Foundation’s successful first annual “Lunch and Laughs with a Legal Legend” was held in October when judges, lawyers and leaders from West Virginia University and statewide groups honored WVU College of Law Professor and WVU President Emeritus David C. Hardesty, Jr. with a “friendly roast”.
The proceeds from this excellent event were divided between Professor Hardesty’s worthwhile charitable activity of scholarships for College of Law students and the Bar Foundation’s grants program to improve the administration of justice and the provision of legal services for West Virginia’s citizens. The final amount distributed was approximately $25,000.
Pictured above are Professor Hardesty and WVU Law School Dean Joyce McConnell as the Professor presented the contribution from the roast to the scholarship fund during a recent meeting of the Law School’s Development Council in Morgantown.
