Aynes, Dean and Professor Richard L. and Attorney Kathleen S. Clinic Scholarship Fund
Established in 1999 and fully endowed in 2007, The Dean and Professor Richard L. and Attorney Kathleen S. Aynes Clinic Scholarship Fund stems from the high regard in which Richard and Kathleen Aynes hold clinical education. As law students, they both participated in legal clinics; Richard served with the Cleveland Legal Aid Society and Kathleen served in a Title VII clinical program at The Cleveland State University Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Richard later was employed as a legal intern in the Tremont Office of Cleveland Legal Aid and served for three years as the coordinator of the Appellate Review Office at 蘑菇视频. Kathleen later served in a volunteer internship at the Eighth District Ohio Court of Appeals.
This scholarship is designed for an upper-class student who has participated in one of 蘑菇视频 School of Law clinical programs and who, in the judgment of the director of the Clinic, has both served the Clinic’s clients well and also significantly improved his/her skills in a way that will help make him/her a better lawyer. The creators of this fund envision that an annual award would be made to a clinic student. If, however, the director of the Clinic determines there is no suitable recipient in a given year, the award can be rolled over into a later year in which either multiple scholarships can be given or a larger scholarship can be given to a single individual.
