Swearing-in Washburn Law Alumni Sworn in to U.S. Supreme Court

WASHBURN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW ALUMNI MAGAZINE DEAN Thomas J. Romig Dear Alumni and Friends:

I am pleased to have this opportunity to share with you some of the exciting things happening at Washburn Law. This fall, the law school welcomed the best-credentialed incoming class in our history. The incoming Class of 2010 is comprised of 169 students, including the fall and January 2010 starters. The total number of applications increased signifi cantly, as did the LSAT scores of the admitted students. These improvements were due, in part, to the re-establishment of the Spring Start Program, allowing for recruiting opportunities in two separate cycles. We were able to be more selective than any time in the recent history of the law school. Our recruiting strategy and our use of scholarships have been very effective and enabled us to retain the most talented applicants. We appreciate your support of our scholarship efforts, and with your ongoing assistance, we will be able to continue to recruit the best students.

We know that prospective students weigh law school rankings when deciding which school to attend. Washburn Law moved up in the U.S. News and World Report’s 2011 law school rankings, and our Legal Analysis, Research, and Writing Program was ranked 17th among all U.S. law schools. We recognize that legal writing is a critically important skill for successful lawyers, and it is a strength of Washburn Law.

We continue to maintain an excellent student-faculty ratio: 12.9 to 1. We have been very successful in our faculty recruitment over the last couple of years. We have been able to hire our top choices, and this has enabled us to maintain and expand our highly qualifi ed faculty.

Our Washburn Law Library was ranked number 40 out of nearly 200 law schools by the National Jurist magazine. This ranking is a tribute to the work of our great library staff and legal technology group.

Washburn Law continues to compete on a national level, and our current facility plays a role in our ability to recruit the best and brightest students. The law school building, which was built in 1969, does not lend itself well to the changing style of law teaching. We are hard-pressed to fi nd space for current needs, let alone innovate for the future. Classrooms are not suitable for smaller groups of students. Gathering spaces for study and conversation are virtually nonexistent. There are too few faculty offi ces, the library is too small, and because no single venue can accommodate more than 90 people, we can’t have each entering class together in one room.

I am happy to announce that, in coordination with the University Vice President, Administration and Treasurer’s offi ce, we are about to engage in an architectural design “charette” process to develop proposed conceptual designs and associated costs both for an expansion of the existing law school building and for a new law school building. We believe this process will likely culminate before May 2011.

With your support, we will meet our space challenges and move Washburn Law ahead as a premier leader in legal education and a highly competitive national law school. We believe a new or improved home for the law school will signal to prospective students, faculty, friends and alumni that Washburn continues to offer the highest quality legal education to the people of Kansas and our great nation. We will continue to make you proud of our distinguished law school.

Sincerely,

Thomas J. Romig Dean and Professor of Law [email protected] LWASHBURNawyer CONTENTS Fall 2010

s my two-year term as president of the Washburn University School Aof Law Alumni Association gets under way, it has been impossible for me to avoid thinking of the amazing changes that have occurred during these many years since I graduated. When I began my studies at PRESIDENT Washburn Law in the summer of 1965, the school’s enrollment was 149, led by Dean John Howe, one librarian, eight full-time professors, and 20 Winton M. Hinkle, ’68 adjunct lecturers. The school was housed in the small Carnegie building.

Washburn University A year later, Carnegie was gone with the wind and replaced by eight School of Law trailers, which were later replaced by our present-day building in 1969.

58 | FALL 2010 | WWW.WASHBURNLAW.EDU Faculty News Professor James B. Wadley Remembered ashburn University School of Law mourned the death of Professor James B. WWadley who died Jan. 1, 2010, at the age of 64. Professor Wadley joined the Washburn Law faculty in 1979 and subsequently taught courses in many subjects, including Agricultural Law, Water Rights, Entertainment Law, Creative Thinking for Lawyers, Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, and Native American Law. He was selected as the 2000-01 William O. Douglas Outstanding Professor of the Year. He served as director of the Rural Law Center and authored a number of books and law review articles.

Wadley earned a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from Utah State University. He lived for two years in Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He obtained his juris doctor from Tulane University School of Law in New Orleans in 1972.

Prior to joining the Washburn Law faculty, Wadley taught at the University of Florida Holland Law Center. He also studied law in Mexico and performed legal research in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. While at Washburn he accepted invitations to teach law courses in England and Poland. He was a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Agricultural Law at Southern Illinois University in 2007.

Wadley volunteered his talents outside the law school, serving as circuit court judge for the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska, and as district court judge for the Prairie Band of Potawatomi Nation. He organized and led the College Hill Association Band for its annual 4th of July parade and served for several years as bishop of the Sherwood Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Wadley’s many talents included painting, and during his 30-plus years at Washburn Law, his depictions of the law school and other Kansas scenes were presented to retiring law school faculty and staff.

During Dean Thomas Romig’s remarks at the law school’s commencement in May, he led the audience in a moment of silence in Wadley’s memory. The Washburn Law Journal (vol. 49, no. 3) contains a tribute prepared by Professor Lyn Goering, ’87. There is also a link to the tribute on Wadley’s faculty page at www.washburnlaw.edu/ faculty/. Washburn Law faculty, staff, students, and alumni extend their deepest sympathies to his wife Frances and other family members.

At the family’s request, a memorial fund was established to support the law school. Contributions can be made to Washburn University Foundation, Professor James Wadley Memorial Fund, 1729 SW MacVicar Ave., Topeka, KS 66604.
