    A Way Forward: Transparency in 2018

    A Way Forward: Transparency in 2018 Law School Transparency Kyle McEntee Iowa State Bar Association Young Lawyers Division* * Kyle Fry, Thomas Hillers, Abhay Nadipuram, Rob Poggenklass, and Maggie White contributed to this report on behalf of the Iowa YLD. Executive Summary We recommend that the ABA and law schools take the following steps to improve legal education for the benefit of students, the legal profession, and the public. 1. Young Lawyer Representation in Accreditation • The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar should add two young lawyers to its Council in 2018. • The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar should change its bylaws to designate two of 15 at-large Council positions to young lawyers. 2. Increased Data Transparency • The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, using authority it already has under the ABA Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools, should require schools to report as part of the Section’s annual questionnaire, and for the Section and schools to provide on their websites, (1) disaggregated borrowing data, including subcategories by race and gender; (2) disaggregated data on the amount of tuition paid by class year (1L or upper-level), race/ethnicity, and gender; (3) data on applicants and scholarships by gender and, to the extent the Section does not do so already, by race/ethnicity; (4) data on J.D. program completion and bar passage success. 3. User-Friendly Data Presentation • The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar should simplify the Employment Summary Report, which includes graduate employment data.

    The Meeting Was Aug 1 Through Aug 4. Held at the Dickerson Friends Center in Wasilla

    The meeting was Aug 1 through Aug 4. Held At the Dickerson Friends Center in Wasilla. Approximately 100 participants were present; All ages were present with average age of about 45. The monthly meetings represented; Fairbanks, Talkeetna, Anchorage, Kenai, Homer, Juneau and Sitka. Simultaneously there was a youth conference at the Center. Guest Speaker was Diane Randall Executive secretary of FCNL. The theme for the session was determined by their youth; Love, Joy, and Empowerment. This meeting is very involved in social and environmental issues. My main takeaway from this body was their inclusion of the youth! The youth were seeking information about quiet time. What is the process? In answer to this the session decided to have a Spirit week for the youth where they could walk through the process and search for answers to their many questions. This Spirit week had been done in the past with a representative from one of the eastern meetings. The center is named after Mahala Ashley Dickerson (October 12, 1912 – February 19, 2007) an American lawyer and civil rights advocate for women and minorities. In 1948 she became the first African American female attorney admitted to the Alabama State Bar; in 1951 she was the second African American woman admitted to the Indiana bar; and in 1959 she was Alaska’s first African American attorney. She was a classmate of Rosa Parks, who came and visited Mahala in Alaska. The property was donated by her to the Friends. .
