M Justyce Yuille, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science, African and African American studies and criminal justice, cum laude, from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, is one of 10 students nationally selected to participate in the Marshall-Motley Scholars Program. The program, funded by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, began last year to create a pipeline that "will endow the South with the next generation of civil rights lawyers trained to provide legal advocacy of unparalleled excellence in the pursuit of racial justice."
