Mitchell Hamline School of Law in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is awarding its first-ever Judge Edward J.

Failinger has been at Hamline Law since she graduated from YLS in 1983, becoming a professor in 1988.

“Judge Devitt was a towering figure in the judiciary who inspired respect among his clerks and colleagues alike,” said Mark Gordon, president and dean. “We looked for someone who has earned that level of respect both within the law school among faculty and students and outside the school among so many attorneys, and Marie was the clear choice.”
