The Cardinal Lawyer: The Andrew Franklin Young Writing Award and Memorial Fund

»  Reprinted from the July 2009 issue of Kentucky Bench & Bar   «

Andrew Franklin Young died tragically on March 19, 2009. In the weeks that followed, his classmates, friends, and family members contributed money to the University of Louisville School of Law to honor his memory. The class of 2009 dedicated the traditional class gift to Andrew's memory.

The Law School will maintain the Andrew Franklin Young Memorial Fund in honor of our friend and classmate. We will use money donated in Andrew's memory for the benefit of students of the Law School. The annual award for best paper by a graduating senior will be named the Andrew Franklin Young Memorial Writing Award. While he was still alive, Andrew was selected the writer of the best paper by a member of the class of 2009. In future years, the winner of the Andrew Franklin Young Memorial Writing Award will be awarded prize money, as financial circumstances permit, from the Andrew Franklin Young Memorial Fund.
