Robyn M. Rucker (Williamson), (JD ’02) has been selected as the 2008 Early Career Achievement Award recipient. This is the first year the Early Career Achievement Award will be bestowed. The ECA honors an alumnus who has earned a degree within the last ten years, has served and contributed to the legal profession, the community, and/or to his alma mater, and who shows potential for continued success. Ms. Rucker is currently serving as a staff attorney with the Indiana Supreme Court – Division of State Court Administration and as the Indiana CLEO Coordinator (Conference for Legal Education Opportunity). Originally from Gary, IN, she now resides in Indianapolis.
Lilia Judson, Executive Director, Indiana Supreme Court-Division of State Court Administration said: “I am very happy for Robyn and proud that my former law school has chosen one of our valued staff attorneys for this honor. CLEO is one of our most innovative programs. It affords an opportunity for a legal education to many qualified and talented students who would otherwise not have such an opportunity.”
