Marlow graduates from
Mercer law school
MACON - The Walter F. George
School of Law of Mercer University
awarded juris doctor degrees to 153
candidates at commencement on
May 6. Kathleen resident Timothy
Michael Marlow received the law
degree at the Macon ceremony.
In her commencement address to
the law graduates, Beverly B. Martin,
U.S. District Court judge in the
Northern District of Georgia, said, “I
do believe that there are untold
opportunities that await you as
lawyers, but there are things that you
can do, and must do, in order to be
available when those opportunities
present themselves.”
She outlined three traits for the
graduates to embrace: leadership,
kindness and honesty. Explaining
their law studies prepared them for
leadership so they should provide it,
she added that providing acts of
kindness to their clients and others
and maintaining integrity in their pro
fessional practice would provide
opportunities that would enrich their
lives as individuals and as lawyers.
“One of my wishes for you is that
you recognize these opportunities,
and that you take them,” she said.
“Our profession will be better for it,
and your life will be more meaningful
as well.”
