| Career Commitment to Helping Others Earns Moritz Public Service Award for Gene King '83 |

A career spent improving access to the legal system for Ohioans has earned him the College's 2005-2006 Public Service Award. (Learn More) |

a tremendous opportunity to help people. As a professor at Texas Tech
School of Law in Lubbock, Gerry encourages students to consider estate
