This grant is made possible by an endowed gift from the gifts of Mrs. Burton T. Hord and Paul Leach, wife and son of Mr. Henry Leach '28. The two started the fund in honor of Mr. Leach with the goal of supporting an intern each year. Their continued generosity supports one student a year to defray the costs of an internship.

James Attridge '07, recipient of the Henry Leach '28 Memorial Grant, will spend this summer working with the Public Defender Service for Washington, DC. His work will include interviewing witnesses, examining crime scenes, as well as testifying in court. He believes that this internship will not only allow him to complete substantive legal work, but to also serve his community and learn about the public policy involved with issues of crime, poverty, and the U.S. judiciary system. As a Government and Geography double major, James sees this opportunity as an invaluable asset to his aspirations of a career in law and politics.
