The Lynette Norton Memorial Fund
In 2002, the Allegheny County Bar Foundation created the Lynette Norton Memorial Fund in tribute to Ms. Norton, an accomplished trial lawyer, insurance law expert and active member of the bar, who passed away suddenly in March of 2002. This fund provides an annual award to a student graduating from the Thomas R. Kline School of Law at Duquesne University who has demonstrated academic excellence, skills in oral advocacy through moot court programs and a keen sense of ethics and professionalism. The Foundation worked with a committee, comprised of Tybe Ann Brett, the Hon. Christine Donohue, Kate Fagan, the Hon. Nora Barry Fischer, Bridget Gillespie, Amy Hay, Vicki Horne, Kerry Kearney, Michelle Lally, the Hon. Lisa Pupo Lenihan, Lisa Tourek and Tracey Vinson, to create the Lynette Norton Memorial Fund. This scholarship is awarded by faculty at the Thomas R. Kline School of Law at Duquesne University each spring; applications are not accepted.
