It seems like just a couple of months ago that I was anguishing over starting the year with potentially inspiring words, and suddenly I find myself looking for something insightful to end my year as your bar president. Funny thing about time — the less you have, the quick- er it goes. I have drawn on my families — both immediate and legal — not only for help and support this year, but also for some words of wisdom and funny anecdotes to share as I have traversed the state. When thinking about how time flies, I’m reminded of a true story I have told a few times that gets across a couple of points — time is relative and perception is everything. When my niece, Kristin, turned six many years ago, we were having a family birthday party for her. My mother began talking about how she remembered the day Kristin was born and what everyone was doing. “Your Aunt Deb- President Reheard and her husband, bie was at law school, and the hot water heater broke at the house, and we had to get everyone to the hospital, and Dale Gill it was so cold.” Kristin was amazed that her Nanny Gladys could remember back six whole years, Kristin’s skills we lawyers possess and entire lifetime. “Oh, honey, I can remember when your improving the public perception of brother Clinton was born. PaPaw Tom was in the field, lawyers one good deed at a time. and we had to go get him off the tractor and get him to the hospital in time.” Well, this was truly amazing because Thanks to my loved ones, my Clinton was 10 years old and that was longer than Kristin lawyer family, my law office family had been alive. and my OBA staff family for a great year.

Kristin’s mouth flew open; into the sunset, “Happy trails to her eyes got big, and she looked straight at me and said, you, until we meet again.” “You’re older than the turnpike?!” Yes, 30-some years is forever when you are six, but not so long when you are 50-something.

  • Promoting Healthier Tomorrows Through Education and Research Today Dean’S Message
    Promoting healthier tomorrows through education and research today Dean’s Message Dear Alumni and Friends There is a saying – “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.”That advice may work for appliances, but it doesn’t work for health. We are on the verge of a major realization in our country — that we must shift our focus more to promoting health and wellness, and preventing disease, injury and disability, rather than treating illness. It is a shift that moves us from a reactive to a proactive approach for health. It also is a shift that will not only improve health and save lives, it potentially will save our state and nation billions of dollars a year. The OU College of Public Health is proud to play an important role in educating the new generation of public health professionals to lead our nation in this new direction, in advancing research that furthers these goals, and in preparing public health professionals and volunteers for proper emergency response. We are one of only 38 accredited colleges of public health in the country and home to four federally funded centers that focus on protecting and improving the public’s health: the Southwest Center for Public Health Preparedness, the OU Prevention Research Center, the Center for American Indian Health Research and the Center for Biosecurity Research. Public health is important not only in times of emergency, but every day of every year. Clean air, safe food and clean drinking water, immunizing our children, protecting our communities and promoting healthy lifestyles — these all are critical public health issues.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Nebraska Law Review by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. By Peter N. Davis* State Ownership of Beds of Inland Waters-A Summary and Reexamination I. INTRODUCTION States rely on state ownership of the beds of streams, rivers, and lakes for various regulatory and proprietary purposes. These include licensing of bed use, leasing of underlying miner- al rights, protection of public use rights, assertion of public trust powers, and location of boundaries of abutting privately-owned land. The extent of this state ownership in states created from federal territories is determined by a conjunction of the follow- ing: (1) the "equal footing rule," (2) the law of federal land patent interpretation, (3) state rules on incidents to title to abutting uplands, (4) federal and state definitions of navigability, and (5) the law of implied grants of land from the sovereign. States have asserted title to the beds of many streams, rivers, and lakes by assuming the correctness of certain interpretations of these rules of law.

  • Commissioner Richard B. Long Chair, UUDDA/UUDA Drafting Committee
    Memo to: Commissioner Richard B. Long Chair, UUDDA/UUDA Drafting Committee From: Joe Colquitt Reporter Date: September 24, 2015 Apart from a few routine tweaks, at the close of our meeting there were three issues to be addressed. I have spent considerable time researching, reading and deciding how to address the issues raised. Here are my suggestions: ISSUE 1: Question: How can a statute overrule a constitutional provision? That is a good question with an easy answer. It cannot. Thus, as explained below, I have tweaked the language in § 2(2) and left § 4(a) intact. Why the question? Section 2(2) defines “law” to include “the federal or a state constitution, a federal or state statute, a judicial decision or order, a rule of court, an executive order, and an administrative rule, regulation, or order.” Section 4(a) states that with limited exceptions, “if a law of this state requires or permits use of a sworn declaration, an unsworn declaration meeting the requirements of this [act] has the same effect as a sworn declaration.” Assume the enacting state’s constitution required all declarations used in adoption proceedings be under oath or sworn (any law to the contrary notwithstanding). Applying Section 4(a), the “law [i.e., “state constitution” – § 2(2)] of the state requires use of a sworn declaration,” yet 4(a) establishes that an unsworn declaration “has the same effect as a sworn declaration.” Ergo, the [act] trumps the state constitutional provision. But, of course, it cannot; thus, the provision is defective and declarations for adoption proceedings would need to be under oath as required by the state constitutional mandate.

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.
