The Roger Williams University School of Law confers degrees on 105 students, including 3 who also received master's degrees in marine affairs.
Racism remains in society, and it's up to lawyers to do something about it.
That's what Judge Nathan R. Jones said yesterday to the 105 graduates of the Roger Williams University School of Law. It was the sixth graduating class for the school, and a notable one at that. For the first time, three of the school's graduates received not just law degrees, but master's degrees in marine affairs, through a joint program with the University of Rhode Island. Anthony J. Santoro, Roger Williams University chancellor, conferred upon two people honorary doctorates in law. One went to Robert Brydon Kent, a lawyer of 53 years who has been a visiting professor at the school for the past three years.
