I am glad to report that the latest edition of Super Lawyers magazine has identified almost 50 of our graduates as “Super Lawyers” and “Rising Stars.” The magazine identifies attorneys in each state who are chosen by peer review and independent research as the top practitioners; the “Rising Stars” category focuses on lawyers under age 40 or who have been practice for less than ten years.
Two of our grads, Armando Batastini (Naval Academy; RWU Law ’98 ) and Mark Gemma (Boston College; RWU Law ’97) share top honors. Besides garnering the Super rating, I just learned that as of 2/1/12, Armando will be a partner at the leading firm Nixon Peabody, while Mark continues with his highly regarded plaintiffs’ practice.
Way to go Alums!
Armando Batastini
Mark Gemma
