We’ll conclude this historic anniversary next spring with the dedication of our new and renovated facility in Carlisle. In December, the ABA took the unprecedented step of granting the Law School’s new University Park campus immediate full approval and recognizing The Dickinson School of Law, in Carlisle and University Park, as the nation’s only unified two-location law school. We continue to serve as the ABA’s national pilot project for reassessing the “distance education” rules applicable to all U.S. law schools, and students in both of our locations continue to enjoy the rich curriculum enabled by our advanced audiovisual telecommunications capabilities. This year, over 4,100 extremely talented, diverse students applied for admis- sion to our law school — the highest number in the history of the Law School; by way of comparison, 1,471 students applied for admission in 2003. The aca- demic credentials and diversity of our students are stronger than at any time in the last thirty years. Outstanding scholars and advocates of renown continue to join our faculty.

PGA Tour Champions event rained out on Friday The competition in its older format shared its name with the trophy, being also known as the European Cupbefore being renamed for the —93 season onwards. Several different physical trophies have had the name, as a club was entitled to keep the cup after five wins or three consecutive wins, with a new cup having to be forged for the following season. Celtic therefore became the first club to win the cup in its current design in Subsequent replacement trophies have replicated this design. Milan was the last team to win this type of trophy. Since then, the trophy bears the title fully in capital letters, albeit the size is increased in the subsequent and current The Trophy of Champions. The trophy that currently is awarded is the sixth and has been in use sinceafter Liverpool won their fifth European Cup in A full-size replica trophy, the Champions League winners trophyis awarded to the winning club with their name engraved on it. The previous rule introduced before the —69 season, allowed a club to keep the trophy after five wins The Trophy of Champions three consecutive wins. At that point, Real Madrid was the only The Trophy of Champions meeting either qualification The Trophy of Champions indeed met both. Once a club had been awarded the trophy, the count was reset to The Trophy of Champions. For example, a club with no prior titles which won six titles in a row would have been permanently awarded trophies after the third and sixth wins each for three-in-a-row but not after their fifth win.

In addition, the following people have contributed to this report: Muslim Team African Caribbean Team Nargis Rashid Gilroy Brown Dilwar Hussain Cheryl Weathers In addition support and advice has been received from Robert Bunting, Karen Baxendale and Brian Wardle from BASS and Denise Williams from Nottingham.

The second, the Audit and the Materials’ outlines areas that lend themselves directly or potentially to reflecting the experience of the target groups, and offers lists of possible resources and practices that could support teachers. 2.
