Jean Jury

Wonderful Support and very efficient She supported me when I was admitted with a serious health problem. I had to leave school for two years but she made sure I was able to return and complete my J.D.

Ms. Jury was one of the first people I met as a young law student at SMU Law school and she worked with me so my schedule would allow me to teach at SMU while attending law school. She was kind and competent, truly a role model for all aspiring professionals. What a grand lady!

My deepest sympathies to Jean's loved ones. I attended SMU Law School from 1967 to my graduation in 1970 as one of only 5 women in a huge class of men. During my three years Jean was the absolute Go-To Person for all school-functioning related questions a student might have, be they how to navigate halls, or courses, or professor personalities! I remember her as an incredibly kind and knowledgeable problem-solver, someone who seemed truly dedicated to easing a new student's "way through the...
