WVU College of Law celebrates alum’s legal legacy with portrait unveiling, scholarship surprise
West Virginia University students at the WVU College of Law and the WVU Eberly College of Arts and Sciences will benefit from a WVU alumna’s efforts to honor her brother’s legal legacy and promote education in the Mountain State through scholarships.
The College of Law celebrated the career of Judge Robert B. King, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, on Friday (April 4) with a portrait unveiling and a surprise. His sister, former WVU Eberly College Dean Mary Ellen Mazey, is spearheading fundraising efforts to establish a scholarship in his honor with support from King’s former law clerks, other colleagues and friends.
The Judge Robert Bruce King Law Scholarship will be awarded to law students from West Virginia, with first preference for WVU Eberly College graduates.
