An Elon University School of Law alum who led local efforts to transcribe and digitize hundreds of âslave deeds,â thereby helping the public to learn more about the lives of enslaved people in antebellum Greensboro, is the 2020 recipient of the law schoolâs most prestigious honor for new graduates.
Julianna Kober, former president of the law schoolâs pro bono âPeople Not Propertyâ Project, was recognized December 12 at Elon Lawâs 13th Commencement ceremony with the David Gergen Award for Leadership & Professionalism.
Elon Law students are nominated for the award by their peers, professors, or staff. Honorees are selected by a faculty and staff committee based on law school activities that represent the twin principles of leadership and professionalism.
