BLSA Establishes Award in Honor of Dean Robinson

​In April, NBI Board Director Alfreda Robinson was honored by the Black Law Students Association (BLSA) with the establishment of “The Dean Alfreda Robinson Oral Advocacy Award.” Dean Robinson is Associate Dean for Trial Advocacy at George Washington University Law School.  A BLSA member excelling in oral advocacy competitions will be selected to receive the award at BLSA’s annual Patricia Roberts Harris Awards Dinner. The graduation dinner was founded by Dean Robinson in 1978, when she was a third-year law student at George Washington.

The inaugural award recipient is Chidima Osuchukwu, who will be joining Morgan Lewis law firm upon her graduation.  Among several honors, she is a scholar of the Morgan Lewis Foundation and Notes Editor for the George Washington International Law Review.

Congratulations to Dean Robinson and Ms. Osuchukwu!
