Congratulations to shareholder Jacqueline Dixon who was awarded the 2024 Mentor of the Year award by Nashville School of Law at their Robert Ballow Excellence in Writing Awards. The honor is conferred in recognition of a mentor’s exceptional service to the Rigorous Writing Exercise Program. Jackie has been a mentor to NSL students for six years, and this year’s RBE winner was one of Jackie’s students. The Rigorous Writing Exercise (RWE) is a project all Nashville School of Law students embark on as a requirement of graduation. Working with a volunteer mentor from the legal community, students research and write a 15-20 page paper on the topic of their choice, and their submissions are evaluated by a panel of legal writing experts, who determine finalists and award winners.
