Three students received tuition or book scholarships from the Alumni Association of the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at its annual luncheon on Tuesday, Feb. 3.

A tuition scholarship of $16,040 was awarded to 3L Julie Pasquale, an Articles Editor at Jurimetrics: The Journal of Law, Science, & Technology, a Public Interest Summer Fellow and president of the College's Advocacy Program Against Domestic Violence. The scholarship is based on academic success, contributions to the law school, the State Bar of Arizona and the community, and pro-bono activity and is  presented each year to a second- or third-year student.
