WASHBURN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW ALUMNI MAGAZINE DEAN Thomas J. Romig

Dear Alumni, Friends, and Collegues:

Washburn Law continued its pioneering achievements during the fall semester with the notable Breaching Borders Immigration Law Symposium held in October and sponsored by the Center for Law and Government and the Washburn Law Journal. Th e event attracted scholars from across the country, as well as prominent state lawmakers who explored the political and legal controversies converging at the intersection of federal and state immigration law. Please read more about the event beginning on page 30.

Another milestone for Washburn Law is its selection as a participant in the legal education component of the Judicial Independence and Legal Empowerment Project in the Republic of Georgia. Th e four-year, $750,000 grant to the law school is part of a $20 million initiative funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Our faculty will be guiding and mentoring law professors at the Free University of Tbilisi in the creation of a new center for learning in commercial law. Details about the initiative as well as faculty and student involvement are highlighted on pages 12 and 13.

Increasing diversity within the law school is one of our strategic goals and in the past few years faculty, staff , and students have explored new avenues to recruiting and retaining minority students. We are pleased to report that the fall entering class represents one of our most diverse incoming classes with 23 percent being members of a racial or ethnic minority group. Th e story on page 3 explains this goal further.

Th e busy fall has transitioned into an equally active winter, with holiday and New Year events competing for our time. In the hustle and bustle of it all, I hope you have a moment to read about the substantial accomplishments of our alumni, faculty, students, and staff and how their hard work and commitment are reaping rewards for current and future generations of Washburn Law students.

Sincerely,

ashburn University School of Law was one of only Wtwo law schools selected to participate in the legal education component of the Judicial Independence and Legal Empowerment Project (JILEP) in the Republic of Georgia. JILEP is a four-year, $20 million initiative, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Th e East-West Management Institute. Washburn Law will receive $750,000 of the grant. As part of JILEPs legal education component, Washburn Law will be guiding and mentoring law professors at the Free University of Tbilisi in the creation of a new center for learning, as well as other legal education initiatives. “Th e East-West Management Institute became familiar with Washburn by hearing about us through the Institute for Law Teaching and Learning (ILTL).

We were newlyweds when we picked up and moved halfway across the country from the East Coast so that I could attend Washburn. It was a move that proved to be one the most transformational decisions of my life. Th e faculty, students and entire Washburn community supported and nurtured us as only a close-knit community can do.” Maureen, a graduate of Penn State, worked at KTKA Channel 49 as a statehouse reporter and news anchor during the couple’s time in Topeka.

Th e enthusiasm John and Maureen have for the law school community is matched by John’s appreciation for the education he received at Washburn Law and the long-lasting eff ects it has had on his career. John is vice president and senior counsel-insurance with American Express in New York City, where he has worked since 2007. “Washburn provided me with a superior legal education and limitless opportunities to apply what I learned outside of the classroom. It prepared me to meet the myriad of legal challenges that would come my way. But most importantly, it provided an education fi rmly grounded in the Midwestern values of honesty, integrity, and responsibility; values that have served me well throughout my legal career. Maureen and I are honored to give back to the community that gave so much to us and to help provide similar opportunities for future Ichabods.”

“We thank John and Maureen for ensuring future students have the opportunity to experience our exceptional law school community and educational environment,” said Dean Romig.

John Collins will return to Washburn Law on February 23, 2012. He will be joined by J. Brent Hooker of ACE Latin America, one of the world’s largest insurance and reinsurance providers, as Business and Transactional Law Center Practitioners in Residence. During their time on campus, Collins and Hooker will visit classes and make presentations to students and faculty.

Allison L. Herr and Dr. John J. Donohue Law Scholarship Fund

llison L. Herr, ’90, Henderson, Nev., graduated with a ﬁ rm understanding that Washburn is a different kind of law Aschool. She believes that what sets Washburn apart “is that Washburn has always been good about meeting people where they are and bringing them up to where they need to be rather than assuming people come in with a background ready to live the life of the law.”

Herr didn’t plan to practice law but instead thought she would use her law degree as a solid foundation for a career in hospital administration, the undergraduate degree she earned from Wichita State University. However, while at Washburn Law, she encountered what she described as “incredibly talented professors who, in my mind, opened up the world to me. I didn’t come from a background of having lawyers in the family. It was a life changing event.”

Herr now has a solo practice in family law and believes it is important to give back to the school that expanded her horizons and set her on a new course in life. She is hopeful that the Allison L. Herr and Dr. John J. Donohue Law Scholarship will provide students with an opportunity to understand what it is to be a lawyer, the same opportunity she was afforded. “You learn to be able to take this mass array of facts and line them up and focus on what is important.”

“Allison’s and John’s generosity will help open up new opportunities for deserving students,” Dean Romig said.

WASHBURN LAWYER | FALL 2011 | 21 Leading by Example: Recent Endowments The Honorable Marla J. Luckert and S. Ken Morse Law Scholarship Fund ustice Marla Luckert, ’80, and Ken Morse, ’80, Topeka, believe the practical skills they learned at JWashburn Law opened up opportunities that otherwise they may not have received. Justice Luckert worked in private practice and as an adjunct professor at Washburn Law before her appointment to the bench in 1992. In 2003, she was appointed a member of the Supreme Court of Kansas. Ken served as general counsel for Hill’s Pet Nutrition for 25 years before recently retiring. “We both feel like our degrees from the law school opened up some tremendous opportunities that we never imagined could happen,” Ken said. “We hope that by creating the Luckert and Morse Scholarship we can open up those opportunities for future students.” Th ey also want to encourage students to recognize how quickly opportunities can come up and how they can change your outlook and practice. “Don’t let yourself get entrapped into thinking, ‘Today is what has to be my life.’ A lot of things can change during your three years in school, and a lot of things change during the three to fi ve years aft er school,” Ken said. “Keep an open mind and stay fl exible.” Dean Romig said, “Th is scholarship generously established by Justice Marla Luckert and Ken Morse will off er brighter futures for our deserving students.” Ronald W. Nelson Law Scholarship Fund onald W. Nelson, ’81, Lenexa, Kan., spent most of his life pursuing a dream of becoming a Rveterinarian. It was only in his third year at Kansas State University that he realized he didn’t enjoy the sciences nearly as much as the constitional law and political science courses he was taking “for fun and enjoyment.”

“Follow your heart, and do what you feel passion for” is the advice he followed when deciding to become a law student. He shares this advice with students currently at Washburn. “Go with your passion, rather than merely where the most money is,” he said. Th is is what he hopes his scholarship will allow future law students to do.

Nelson, a sole practitioner in family law, never planned to be a family law attorney either, but six years aft er graduation he decided to focus on what he most enjoyed—and the areas of law for which he had passion. Th e time he spent at Washburn Law gave him the tools needed to succeed in any legal fi eld. “My overall Washburn experience is that the professors were truly concerned with teaching the students,” Nelson said. “Th ey wanted everyone to understand the law; not just merely know what the law was.”

“Ron Nelson’s scholarship will help ensure that deserving students who are following their dreams are supported fi nancially in their law school studies,” stated Dean Romig. T. Michael and Sheryl W. Wilson Scholarship Fund hen T. Michael Wilson, ’72, Wichita, graduated from Washburn Law, he didn’t plan to practice Wfamily law but rather intended to become a certifi ed public accountant. Regardless of his original intentions, he never felt like he was unprepared for the challenges of law practice. Wilson praises the law professors for teaching practical skills that have served him well. “Th ey were not just giving us theoretical legal teachings, but practical everyday applications of law.” It’s that practical legal education that has prompted him to give back to Washburn through the T. Michael and Sheryl W. Wilson Law Scholarship. “I wanted to share the success I’ve had practicing law with someone else who may have the same interest.” His secondary reason for establishing the scholarship is to encourage students who want to study law despite today’s challenges. He believes law students should “not get discouraged from what they may hear about job prospects when they graduate, because, aft er all, they are getting a valuable education. Even if aft er graduation they don’t immediately get a job, they’ve acquired a legal education that makes them much more fl exible in the job market.” “We thank Michael and Sheryl for including the needs of Washburn law students in their estate plans,” Dean Romig said.

WASHBURN LAWYER | FALL 2011 | 31 ALUMNI PROFILE Melissa L. Castillo, ’06

Th e following are Castillo’s personal views as a Washburn Law alumna and not as a Department of Homeland Security lawyer.

Tell us about your ﬁ rst job after law school and how you landed that opportunity. I was hired straight out of law school through the Attorney General’s Honors Program to work for the Executive Offi ce for Immigration Review, an agency within the Department of Justice, as a judicial law clerk for the Orlando, Fla. Immigration Court. I performed legal research and writing for the immigration judges in Orlando for the duration of the two-year clerkship. I am forever grateful to Margann Bennett, the director of the Professional Development Offi ce, for making me aware of this opportunity and how to apply, because I believe it changed the trajectory of my career.

What prepared you most for life after law school graduation?
