Michael Varone (2013) Received Ethics Award

Michael Varone, class of 2013, received the ACC Northeast Law Student Ethics Award.
Mr. Varone was nominated by the Center for Law and Social Responsibility based on his Public Interest Clinic work in the area of domestic relations and social security cases. Mr. Varone showed incredible poise and intregity in the face of an opposing attorney who blatantly misrepresented a series of events leading up to the trial. In another case, Mr. Varone balanced a succesful outcome for his client and the ethicial issues he faced when the opposing client was unrepresented. The opposing client continually asked for Mr. Varone's advice and seemed to lack sufficient capacity to settle the case.

Mr. Varone continued his commitment to professionalism and ethics in the Criminal Procedure II clinic where he recieved high praise for his skill at trial and attention to detail in all aspects of the case.
