Megan Tomlinson, a second year law student at Loyola University Chicago School of Law was selected as the winner of the Summer 2009 Jack Carey Memorial Scholarship. She is the 22nd winner of the scholarship which was increased to $2500 earlier this year. Three scholarships are given out by the committee each year and the fund was created in 2002 as a memorial to Jack Carey, former President of the Cook County Public Defenders Association.
Megan holds a B.A. from Loyola in Psychology and graduated magna cum laude. Megan is currently clerking for Judge Solganic of the Circuit Court of Cook County’s Law Division. She previously clerked in the Legal Resources Division of our office with Lester Finkle and Harold Winston. Her work on the Alton Logan case inspired her to co-found the post-exoneration clinic at Loyola which helps provide legal services to individuals who are attempting to reenter society after being released from prison after being wrongfully convicted.
The next fund raiser for the scholarship is scheduled for September 1, 2009. Like last year, it’s the Astros playing the Cubs in a night baseball game with a two-hour exclusive party preceding the game at Wrigley Field in the patio area overlooking Clark and Addison. Put it in your calendar and get your check in the mail because tickets are going to go fast!
