Brandeis Law is bringing home two awards from the 2016 ABA Annual Meeting, Aug. 4-9, 2016.

The ABA awarded the Public Service Award and ABA Involvement Award to the law school.

The Public Service Award honors law schools with a demonstrated commitment to public service, and the ABA Involvement Award goes to a school in line with the ABA's goals and vision, said Katie Bonds, incoming Student Bar Association president.

She credited last year's SBA leadership with earning the awards and said that this year's SBA will build on that success.

"We want to be a part of that world and we want to have a stronger connection with the ABA," she said.

Also at the meeting, 2L John Weber was inducted as one of three newly elected Law Student Division delegates to the ABA House of Delegates.
