College of Law Hosts Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Program

The College of Law hosted the “Contributing to Justice: Making an Impact in the Courtroom and Beyond” event in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. The program featured Syracuse Law alumni and other legal professionals who discussed nontraditional and traditional career paths, professional impact, and the many ways legal training can be used to serve communities and promote justice beyond the courtroom.

In his opening remarks, Dean Terence Lau L’98, said, “Legal training is not a narrow credential. It’s a versatile foundation for leadership and impact. The question isn’t just ‘What kind of lawyer will I be?’ but ‘How will I use what I learn here to serve?’ Some of you will find your answer in the courtroom. Others will find it in boardrooms, classrooms, legislative chambers, or community centers. All of these answers are valid. All of them are needed.”

The first panel, moderated by Brianna R. Jones L28, featured the Hon. John Boyd II L’06, Associate Court Attorney, Fifth District New York State Unified Court System, and Town of Manlius Judge; Sara Lowengard, Director, Fifth District Help Center and Family Law Attorney; Professor Grace Orsatti, Syracuse University College of Law; and the Hon. Ramón Rivera L’94, Court of Claims Judge, New York Court of Claims, Syracuse, New York.

Following the first panel, the Hon. Lenora Foote-Beavers (ret.) Buffalo City Court;Chief Health Equity Officer, Evergreen Health Center and the Frankin H. Williams Commission gave the keynote presentation.

Ariel K. Box L’28 moderated the second panel that featured Siana McLean, Immigration Attorney, RJ Immigration Law/ Volunteer Lawyers Project of CNY, and William M. X. Wolfe L’20, Associate Attorney, Harris Beach Murtha, LLP.

Jessica Fields L’28 oversaw the task of managing questions and comments from the online audience.

The Franklin H. Williams Judicial Commission, Syracuse University College of Law, and the Black Law Student Association are sponsors of the event.
