COLUMBIA, S.C., June 29, 2010 - - Ellis Lawhorne is pleased to announce that Breon Walker is the 2010 recipient of the Gary Walker Memorial Scholarship to attend the International Association of Defense Counsel’s (IADC) Trial Academy at Stanford University. The scholarship is awarded annually to one minority and/or female attorney in the country to attend the Trial Academy, which is one of the oldest and most well respected programs for developing defense trial advocacy skills. The program is held July 31 through August 6 at Stanford. Walker’s selection was based on her qualifications, trial experience and her displayed commitment to the advancement of the defense trial bar.
