You can communicate with them by letter, e-mail, telephone, FAX, or a personal visit. Be brief; discuss only one or two issues. Write to each legislator individually and use your own words. Identify legislation by number or title, if possible. If you know the number, author or subject of a bill, a phone call to Hartford, (860) 240-0555, will get you information on bill status in minutes or visit the CT General Assembly website at www.cga.ct.gov and click on Search. Make your communications timely. Remember, the Connecticut General Assembly is a part-time legislature that begins its sessions early in the year and does not meet in the summer or fall. Influence legislative committees by testifying at their public hearings on proposed bills. Write notes of appreciation to your legislators when appropriate. Support them when they adopt a position that you have advocated. GUIDELINES FOR CORRESPONDENCE THE PRESIDENT OF The Honorable Barack H.

  • Graduate Report
    GRADUATE REPORT Serving Non-Profits Faculty News Around Campus Profiles Alumni Awards Dinner Giving Back Class Notes Spring/Summer 2011 etter from the Dean Dear Graduates: L Summer session is going full tilt and the beautiful May morning on which Attorney General Jepsen addressed the Class of 2011 has made way for a glorious July 4 weekend. I am grateful for the invigorating effect of New England’s change of seasons as we begin planning a new school year. There is much work to do. Legal educators everywhere are facing a changing profession in which entry level jobs are growing scarce, and in which greater rewards are going to smaller numbers of lawyers. Conceptual dexterity and analytical rigor, long the hallmarks of our craft, are no longer sufficient to guarantee success. Law schools must adapt our curricula accordingly. Professor Paul Chill will lead a review of our program to determine what reforms might best fit our students’ objectives. We welcome your ideas. Harsh economics have also driven down law school applications by roughly 11% nationally. We have been hit by a decline in the number of candidates for our evening program. Building a class from a smaller pool puts enormous pressure on our entering statistics and further harms our U.S. News ranking, even as our academic program continues to soar. Professor Peter Lindseth will lead a committee considering ways to respond to this changing market. As we prepare for the future, there is much to celebrate about the fabulous year just past. The University attracted Susan Herbst, a warm, thoughtful, energetic, and articulate academic administrator to serve as its first woman president.
