Sharon Nelson Authors Article for Virginia Lawyer

January 8, 2019

Recently, Sensei’s Sharon Nelson wrote “Rule of Law Award Given to Michael W. Smith and the Civility Award Presented to the Hon. Jane Marum Roush” for the Virginia Lawyer. Virginia Lawyer is the official publication of the Virginia State Bar and is distributed to lawyers, judges, general subscribers, law libraries, other state bar associations, and the media.

Excerpt: On October 15th, the Virginia Holocaust Museum (VHM) and the Virginia Law Foundation co-hosted a luncheon at which the 2018 Rule of Law Award and Civility in Law Award were given to Michael W. Smith of Christian Barton and the Honorable Jane Marum Roush (ret).
A central lesson of the Holocaust is the criticality of the Rule of Law in the preservation of civil societies. This program, established by the VHM’s Nuremberg Courtroom Committee and the Virginia Law Foundation, honors individuals whose life and work emulate the highest ideals enshrined in the principals of the Nuremberg Military Tribunal and later the International Court of Justice.
