In this issue of The Transcript, we celebrate the character and accomplishments of the two most important groups of people in our law school community: our current students and the former students who are now alumni and alumnae. In an article written by third-year law student Scott Neinas, we celebrate some of the many ways in which our students serve the community. They are truly engaged. Through our clinics, externships and our new Public Service Commendation Program, they learn about the difference a lawyer can make in a person’s life, develop valuable practice skills, and reach an understanding of society’s issues that will serve them well as lawyers and the leaders of the future. Through their fundraising efforts, clothing drives and volunteer homebuilding, they demonstrate a level of commitment and character which will make us proud to claim them as graduates of our law school.
Our alumni and alumnae are making a difference across the country and around the world. They serve in Congress, on the federal bench, on state supreme courts, as judges at all levels, in public service and legal aid, and in private practice where their commitment to clients helps make people’s lives better. In this issue, we feature a few of the many who have risen to leadership positions in business and education. In these roles, they translate society’s needs as expressed in the law into practical applications that help their clients create value in the marketplace. Their work helps maintain the continued employment of tens of thousands of people and they play vital roles in helping our economy stay strong. Very few lawyers have the opportunity to serve at these levels and their selection is a tribute to their legal expertise, their leadership skills and their personal character. Despite their YLZWVUZPIPSP[PLZHUK^VYRSVHKZ[OL`HSZVÄUK[PTL[VILLUNHNLKJP[PaLUZ>LJVUNYH[\SH[L them on their success and look forward to the doors they can open for those who follow.
In this issue, we also introduce and welcome Professor Lee Strang. An accomplished SH^`LY[LHJOLYHUKZJOVSHYOLPZHÄULHKKP[PVU[VV\YZ[YVUNMHJ\S[`(Z^L^LSJVTL Professor Strang, we bid farewell to Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Kathleen Amerkhanian ’04.
