More than 400 alumni and friends of the University of New Mexico School of Law converged at the UNM Student Union Ballroom on Nov. 4 to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Catherine Goldberg (`75), Peter Mallery (`68) and Former Dean Leo Romero, this year’s recipients of the school’s Distinguished Achievement Award.

Dean Kevin Washburn and UNM School of Law Alumni/ae Association President Steve Scholl (`89) presented the awards to the honorees.

The Distinguished Achievement Awards Dinner is presented by the UNM School of Law and the school’s Alumni/ae Association. In addition to honoring members of the legal community for their outstanding accomplishments, the dinner raises funds for the Alumni/ae Association Board scholarships. These scholarships are the school’s only merit-based full-tuition scholarships presented to incoming law students.
