PHILADELPHIA (June 10, 2020) – The Justinian Foundation is proud to announce that it has awarded its annual scholarship to Mary Lawrence from Drexel University's Kline School of Law. Her anticipated graduation is 2021.

According to Lawrence, "I am grateful to The Justinian Foundation for this scholarship. I have a strong commitment to ensuring that underrepresented communities are uplifted and that they are entitled to dignity and equity in the justice systems and beyond. My commitment to The Justinian Society and its Foundation demonstrates my dedication to the community of Philadelphia, and I intend to continue to volunteer with its children in the future."
Currently living in Philadelphia, Lawrence grew up in West Chester, Pa. She completed her undergraduate studies, cum laude, at Penn State University where she double majored in Criminology and Sociology and competed on the collegiate level for mock trial.
