THE OXFORD EAGLE — The University of Mississippi School of Law has named 14 first-year law students as 2022 business law fellows. The new fellows are: Hattie Burdin, of Cape Girardeau, Missouri; Cassidy Dearman, Leakesville; Kennedy Gerard of Laplace, Louisiana; Madison Gray of Monticello, Arkansas; Holdon Guy of Johnson City, Tennessee; Colin Haley of Charlotte, North Carolina; Dawn Jackson of Baldwyn; Hannah Kent of Dyersburg, Tennessee; Winston Lee of Grenada; Mary Caroline Newman of Memphis, Tennessee; Hayden Park of Corinth; Oliver Samples of Pulaski, Virginia; Morgan Weeks of Decatur, Illinois; and Tyler White of Flora. The Business Law Fellowship is a program unique to the Ole Miss law school. It allows first-year law students who are interested in business and corporate law to kick-start their careers by spending a summer in general counsel offices of large corporations. “The Business Law Fellowship program’s continued success sets us apart as a leader in business law education,” said Susan Duncan, the school’s dean. “Thanks to our corporate partners, our students gain invaluable experience through an opportunity that would typically take years of legal practice. “A goal of UM law is to prepare our students for the real-world practice of law, and this program does just that.”
