Last week, California Western School of Law honored 40 students with nearly 50 awards and scholarships for academic achievements, community service and campus involvement.
Third-year student Porsha Venable was among the award winners. The Brooklyn native worked for the public defender's office in New Jersey prior to attending California Western. She received the Alec L. Cory Award for Outstanding Pro Bono Service.

The Alec L. Cory Award is named for one of the founding partners of Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch. It honors a student who "best represents the spirit of pro bono service."

Students were recognized for academic achievement and participation in student organizations, clinical programs and the law school's law journals.
Jihan Younis received the Diane Ethics Award. It honors the graduating student demonstrating the best understanding of the scrupulous ethics and high ideals of the legal profession in academic, professional and extracurricular activities.
Devin Sreecharana received the American Board of Trial Advocates/Schoville Excellence in Civil Litigation Award. The award recognizes a third-year student with the greatest aptitude and desire to pursue a career with a commitment to excellence and civility in civil litigation.
