Our Law School has been greatly strengthened in recent years. While many individuals and groups NOVEMBER associated with the School deserve credit for this happy result, it is indisputably true that Dean Bartlett’s vision and commitment to excellence have been critical factors. The School’s faculty has been strengthened, its 16 Brainerd Currie Memorial Lecture students remain outstanding, and the Law School’s facilities have been Nancy J. King significantly enhanced.
