Kentucky Lawyer, 1998-1999 \0 00 KENTUCKY LAWYER \0 University of Kentucky College of Law UK December 1998 Dear Alumni and Friends: am pleased to be addressing you in my new role as Acting Dean. After I 23 years on the UK law faculty, I was asked to assume this position shortly after David Shipley announced last spring that he would be leaving to become Georgia's law dean. In his five years at our school, David made a lot of friends among our alumni, and his leaving was a time of sadness for all of us who care about the College of Law. But the College remains strong, and our future is bright. We have an excellent group of students, a first-rate faculty, and a hard-working staff. The support we receive from our alumni and other friends is inspirational. Being the dean of this school is a high honor, and I believe that a number of distinguished individuals will seek this position. Our Dean Search Committee, which includes four alumni and one student, is well along in its work of screening candidates, with the goal of having a new dean in place by July 1st. Other important events in 1998-99 include an A.B.A. inspection and a University review of our College and our active participation in the University's new capital campaign, which seeks to double both the dollar amount of our annual giving and our overall endowment in the next five years. A special part of being the UK law dean is the opportunity to get to know so many of our talented and successful alumni. I am proud of you- and of what your achievements say about the quality of our school. In my travels in and beyond Kentucky, I have been impressed with how many of our graduates have taken on leadership positions in their communities and in the profession. Many of you have achieved great things; and as a group, your talents and energy amount to a huge resource for our state and Nation. I am proud to be the dean of your school. Stop in and see us when you're next on the Lexington campus. You, too, will find much to be proud of in your law school. Sincerely, Robert G.

All of you are my heroes. You helped me in my troubles. I really admire all of you. When I'm depressed, I think of you because it reminds me there are good people in this world." "Working in the Clinic reaffirmed for me the sense of helping that got me into law in the first place .. .It gave me a chance to help two indigent elderly women, who were willing to clean buildings in order to put food on the table. We were able to get the money they had worked so hard to earn from a company that had skipped town without so much as a second thought for them. Along the way, I learned that justice and democ­ racy are preserved in small victories, not just large ones." Jason Reed, Class of 1998. Now in its third semester of operation, the UK Law Clinic has provided over one hun­ dred low-income, elderly individuals with free legal services. During the last three semesters, Clinic students have filed four lawsuits, written numerous wills and deeds, resolved contract disputes, and represented abused elders in domestic violence cases. In addition to live client casework, the Clinic has provided students with substantive legal training in many areas such as interviewing, counseling, advance directives, elder abuse, and guardianship proceedings. Clinic students have also participated in many special projects to promote the Clinic, the law school, and the legal profession. They have participated in community action 2 FEATURE programs and have increased the public's awareness about the legal needs and rights of the elderly. These projects include three television appearances, ten speeches and pre­ sentations to various legal and civic groups, and a new community outreach program called "The Harrison Elementary School Project." "The Harrison Elementary School Project" required Clinic students to visit a fifth grade class at an inner city school in downtown Lexington on four different occasions. Over the course of these sessions, the students discussed constitutional rights, legal procedures, and job opportunities. The program culminated with a class trip by the fifth graders to the College of Law courtroom where they participated in their own mock trial in the case of Commonwealth v. Goldalocks. Laurie Warnecke, the Clinic student who initiated the project, noted that she "wanted these kids to think about their poten­ tial.. .When we started the project, the kids said that they could not wait to get out of school, and only a few of them raised their hands when we asked them if they wanted to go to college. By the end of the project, almost every student raised a hand when we asked them if they wanted to go to college after high school." Finally, the Clinic applied for and received two grants totaling $23,000 from the Kentucky Bar Foundation and the Kentucky IOLTA Fund. These funds will be used to revamp, publish, and distribute one of the Kentucky Bar Association's most popular publications entitled "Law and Programs for Older Kentuckians." In short, the College of Law Legal " ... by putting a human face on the legal problems Clinic has successfully taken the first and needs facing older individuals, the Clinic has steps toward its educational goals of promoted an understanding of the need for fairness academic excellence through the devel­ and justice in our legal system, and has translated opment of practice skills and promotion those needs into a valuable educational experience." of ethical values and responsibilities. - Professor Allison Connelly It has begun to integrate itself into the community in which it operates. More importantly, as Professor Connelly noted, "by putting a human face on the legal problems and needs facing older individuals, the Clinic has promoted an understanding of the need for fairness and justice in our legal system, and has translated those needs into a valuable educational experience." 3 FEATURE The Rapidly C scape of CON I CT Resolution by Thomas/.

  • Brothers, Sheila
    Brothers, Sheila From: Cramer, Aaron Sent: Friday, March 01, 2019 9:16 AM To: Bird-Pollan, Jennifer; Brothers, Sheila Cc: Toma, E Subject: NEW BA: Public Policy Attachments: PPL Undergraduate Degree Full Proposal- Updated 2.18.2019.pdf Proposed New BA in Public Policy This is a recommendation that the University Senate approve, for submission to the Board of Trustees, the establishment of a new BA degree: Public Policy, in the Martin School of Public Policy and Administration within the Graduate School. Rationale: The proposed undergraduate program will focus on how public policy decisions are made, how public policy can affect various members of society, and how leadership is exercised in the public and nonprofit sectors. Thirty years ago, there were few undergraduate programs in this area, but there has been strong growth nationally in such offerings (50% of programs now offering such degrees, strong demand at peer institutions). The program focuses on analytical and quantitative tools for understanding and measuring the effects of existing and proposed public policies. The program will prepare some students for graduate study and others for careers in law, education, public and nonprofit organizations, and federal/state/local government. Enrollment of 30 new students per year is anticipated. SAPC Statement: SAPC considered the potential negative impacts on the Department of Political Science (indicated within the proposal). While it remains possible that the proposed program may negatively affect the enrollment numbers in the political science undergraduate programs, it is clear that there is not a curricular overlap between the existing degree programs and the proposed program.
