Jill & Derick Dillard share big graduation news

On social media, Jill shared an Instagram post announcing Derick’s graduation on May 10. But she just now got around to sharing more photos from Derick’s big day. In a blog post on the Dillard Family Blog, Jill shared a whole collection of photos from the celebration.

Jill writes:

“Although law school wasn’t easy, Derick enjoyed it overall and had many great experiences! While in school, he enjoyed working in several different areas of public service law at both the state and federal levels, including prosecution, defense and judicial work! He was grateful to receive a scholarship through the ‘Public Service Fellowship’ which allowed him to gain great experience as a ‘Public Service Fellow.’ He was also honored to be part of a small group of students selected for the Arkansas Public Service Academy, and he even received a ‘ProBono & Community Engagement’ award at graduation that recognized his many extra hours volunteering in public service outside of work and class!”

The post from Jill also gives fans a look at what’s to come for Derick. She writes, “While in school, he worked hard to get ‘Rule XV’ certified, which allowed him to represent clients as a law student under supervision through the law school in both the Criminal & Immigration legal clinics. He also graduated with a certificate in Criminal Law. Eventually, he hopes to work in some type of public service law.”

Along with the blog post, Jill uploaded a YouTube video about the graduation. In response, fans are sending their congratulations.
