One of my favorite times of the academic year is when we recognize students for their excellence. Since we can't celebrate with them in person this year, I'm shouting out the Property/Land Use/Preservation/Enviro students who received awards! Here goes:

While we can't celebrate in person, I hope each of you - & all the law students who made it through the spring semester 2020 w/an award or not! - know that your professors are watching you, appreciate you, & care about you. Onward!
