EXHIBIT E
Associate Degree – Early Academic Achievement and Merit-Based Recognition
Petitioner: Justin-Ames Gamache
Docket No.: 1127-10-13 Bncr
Court: Vermont Superior Court

Description:
Photograph of an official diploma awarded to Petitioner by American InterContinental University, conferring the degree of:

Associate of Arts in Business Administration
Awarded Cum Laude
Dated November 2009
The diploma is formally styled and includes the signatures of university officials, an institutional seal, and recognition of academic honors.

Purpose:
This exhibit establishes the Petitioner’s early academic foundation and merit-based achievement prior to any legal issues. Awarded cum laude, this degree evidences academic excellence, discipline, and professional potential as early as 2009, nearly four years before the 2013 misdemeanor conviction.

Petitioner’s attainment of this associate degree supports the argument that his life trajectory was one of positive growth and civic alignment long before the isolated legal incident. It serves to reinforce a pattern of responsible conduct, educational ambition, and post-secondary success that continued through bachelor's, master's, and professional certifications (as shown in Exhibits A–D).

This degree is a cornerstone of the rehabilitation timeline, validating Petitioner’s eligibility for expungement under 13 V.S.A. §§ 7602–7607, and illustrates that the conviction was an outlier in an otherwise consistently lawful and achievement-oriented record.
