Jillian S. Manna of Landrum was named to the Charleston School of Law’s dean’s list during the spring 2012 semester. To make the dean’s list, students have to earn at least a 3.3 grade point average on a four-point scale.
Manna, a member of the Class of 2013, is the daughter of Suzanne Fennell and Robert Manna. Manna is a 2004 graduate of Landrum High School and received a bachelor’s degree in 2009 from the College of Charleston.
The law school, which now is comprised of about 700 students in downtown Charleston, opened in August 2004. It has received its full accreditation from the American Bar Association.
The Charleston School of Law is one of the few in the country that requires students to donate at least 30 hours to public service projects before they can graduate. Since the school opened in 2004, students have contributed more than 186,200 hours of public service through pro bono (free) and externship projects to local, state and national organizations.
