Kentucky Lawyer, 1997 Dean's Letter SEPTEMBER 1997 DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS, selected "leadership" as the theme for the feature story in this year's Ken­ tucky Lawyer after the Kentucky Bar Association's annual convention in Louisville last June. I am not sure ifl can define leadership, but 1 think J know leadership when I see it being exercised. Moreover, during my tenure as Dean of the College of Law I have come to admire many UK Law graduates who are exemplary leaders. In my opinion, their actions and ach ievements define leadership. My inspiration for this theme began to develop as I attended several special events during the convention. I always seemed to be applauding the outstanding accomplishments of UK Law alumni. Several were recognized at the annual membership luncheon and it was wonderful to see these men and women congratulated for their leadership serving the legal profession and our system of justice. Five distinguished UK lawyers who were leaders throughout their ca reers were inducted into our Alumni Hall of Fame during the Co ll ege of Law's annual dinner. The following even ing, at the KBA's annual banquet, Norman Harned '65 stepped down as President of the KBA, and Robert Elliott '74 was sworn in by Chief Justice Robert Stephens '51 as the KBA's new leader. Bobby inspired every­ one with his acceptance speech, "Lawyers Are People Too," and showed that he will be a strong advo­ cate for the legal profession. I also attended the Young Lawyers Luncheon and came away convinced that UK's leadership will continue for many, many years. The President of our Law Alumni Association last year, Ron Walker '87, was named "Young Lawyer of the Year," and Mary Jane Wilhoit Phelps '89 took over from Palmer Vance '90 as President of the Young Lawyers Section. I am confident that this tradition of leadership by UK Law graduates will endure because our students are men and women of character. During the 1996/ 97 academ ic year UK's 420 students engaged in over 15,000 hours of public service activities. They ass isted the Salvation Army, God's Pantry, the Hope Center, the Fayette County Pro Bono Project, "KIDS VOTE" and many other organizations. These law students will become outstanding members of the legal profession! With 420 students, a facu lty of 28, and slightly more than 5000 living alumni, the UK Co ll ege of Law is a relatively small law school by national standards. These modest numbers belie the tremendous impact our law school has had on the Commonwealth, the region and the nation since it was established in 1908. Please share my great pride in the careers of the many leaders who have been educated at the UK Coll ege of Law, and my great optimism for the future of this law school and our profession.

Firs t in leadership The Kentucky Bar Association's President, Bobby Elliott '74, further defines leadership. He grew up with the impression that being a lawyer and a leader were syn­ onymous and that he still feels this way. Based upon the Distinguished Careers achievements of the men and women who have graduated from the UK College of Law since it was established in are the mark of Leadership 1908, the people who edit Webster's could add "lawyer" to the definitions of leadership and leader along with the fol­ lowing parenthetical; especially lawyers educated at the University of Kentucky College of Law. The UK College of Law is a relatively small law school by national standards with just over 420 students and slightly more than 5000 living alumni. Roughly a third of the lawyers in Kentucky are graduates. Nevertheless, UK Law alumni have had an impact on the Commonwealth, the region and the nation far greater than one would expect from a school with those modest numbers.

  • 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.
