Judge Evans Receives Naming Honor at NSU

The Black Law Student Association at Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law has named their chapter after the Seventeenth Circuit’s own Judge Kal Evans!
In recognition of his continuing contributions to the program since his time as a student, the naming honor is much bigger than the physical presentation, according to Judge Evans. “Sometimes the biggest gift is the realization of the impact that you have made,” he says.
Congratulations on your well deserved honor, Judge Evans.
