A Wonderful Thing Happened ...
Justicia Officium Award
On May 16, 2021, the West Virginia University College of Law awarded me the Justicia Officium Award during graduation ceremonies for the 2020 and 2021 graduates at Mylan Puskar Stadium. The Justitia Officium is the highest honor bestowed by the law faculty in recognition of outstanding contributions and service to the legal profession. I couldn't have been more surprised or humbled by the honor. The weekend was made complete by the fact that my daughter, Lauren, a 2020 WVU graduate with degrees in chemistry and anthropology, marched in her graduation exercises during the same weekend. https://www.law.wvu.edu/news/2021/05/17/hicks-awarded-wvu-college-of-law-justitia-officium
