SAN FRANCISCO – JAMS, the largest private provider of mediation and arbitration services worldwide, today announced that the Hon. Lynn Duryee (Ret.) has received the John J. Meehan Alumni Fellow Award from the University of San Francisco School of Law. She accepted the award on May 17 at the Alumni Graduates Dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel.

I am very happy to receive this award. It is essential that we continue to provide support and guidance to the next generation of legal practitioners. I’ve gotten to know some very special students who I am sure will make a significant contribution to this world. I feel privileged that I have been able to take a glimpse into their bright futures.
