Our 34 talented first-year students included three women, an African-American man, and a Japanese man—individually and collectively a rarity in 1899. Under the direction of John T. Condon, the first dean, the School of Law offered the best public legal education anywhere in the United States. As a result of this foundation, the school never lost sight of its roots, evident in the number of alumni who are prominent in the legal profession, many breaking through the barriers of gender, race, and ethnicity along the way. Our commitment to excellence—including diversity—has stood the test of time amid many changes in legal education. Today, the best legal education must include an integration of theory, doctrine, and practice and must be delivered by a diverse faculty to a diverse student body. The recent Carnegie report on legal education makes this point as well: that we will best serve our students by developing not only the cognitive capacity of students but also their skills and values. Especially for a global law school such as ours, graduates must be culturally competent and able to apply theories and doctrine in context as part of their preparation for an increasingly complex and connected world. In this issue of UW Law, we focus on our intentional efforts to bridge legal education with the practice of law. From the day our students walk in the door, we expose them to an exciting global and interdisciplinary curriculum, a healthy change in the classroom.The world’s most complex social problems cannot be solved by one discipline alone, but instead require effective collaboration and multidisciplinary work. We link that curriculum with a public service requirement and wide-ranging opportunities for students to deepen their learning through real-world experiences: internships, externships, international competitions, rigorous writing programs, and live-client clinics. Not only does this approach give students experiences in various aspects of the law, it helps them more fully understand their ethical obligations as they develop important relationships with clients. To complement our curriculum, we offer students the support of professional mentors, peer mentors, supportive staff, and engaged faculty as well as alumni and friends who make significant contributions to their success. Together, this network of internal and external support creates a supportive web for our students’ entry into the legal profession and en- courages their embrace of our profession’s most noble values.Through our outstanding teacher-student ratio, we advance our commitment to a higher level by encouraging our students to take their ideas and passions to a new level. One recent example is the work of two students who organized “Three Degrees,” an international conference that addressed the impact of climate change on human rights. We begin the chronicle of their story in this issue of UW Law and will follow their progress through the year as they launch the Three Degrees Project. In this first year as your new dean, I hope to meet many of you. I am confident that with your continued support the legacy of the School of Law will remain true to its roots—excellence in legal education, a commitment to diversity, ser- vice to the community, and accountability to the legal profession—to create the next generation of great lawyers. I look forward to embarking on this journey with you. Kellye Y. Testy Dean, UW School of Law James W.

I was a GPLEX groupie long before I ever imagined I’d be leading this great organization. In any case, I am thrilled to spend a few days with all of you, the movers and shakers who make Greater Philadelphia, well, great. You are among the most diverse cohort we’ve assembled, across both social identity and sector. In GPLEX’s 13th year, we’re incredibly proud to count an alumni base of nearly 1,000 leaders. Stand tall GPLEXers! As always, the board and staff of the Economy League were very deliberate in choosing this year’s destination; we always seek regions that share similarities to our own in size, economy, etc. That said, Seattle is certainly different from Philadelphia. In 1860, while Philadelphia was one of the world’s largest and most economically vibrant cities, the “workshop of the world,” Seattle’s population was about 200 souls; 100 years later, Philadelphia hit its population peak of two million and then saw 50 years of population decline before the slow and steady growth of the late 1990s to the present.

This program, launched in October of 2011 and funded by private grant money, is designed to divert individuals away from repeated arrests and bookings for low-level drug offenses and into immediate treatment services and opportunities. As part of the program, officers on the street have the discretion to take low-level drug offenders to a treatment facility managed by Evergreen Treatment Services, where case managers worked with individuals to offer immediate and longer-term treatment, transitional housing, educational opportunities, and other services geared toward breaking the cycle of addiction. So far, Seattle Police Officers have referred 24 individuals to the program.. In one instance, a case manager helped an individual referred to the program to restore his union status so that he could look for work. In another, a case worker successfully encouraged treatment and regular check-ins for a woman who used to routinely solicit and use drugs in front of local storefronts.

Lasnik∗ & David Boerner† At the 1940 Annual Conference of United States Attorneys, Attorney General Robert H. Jackson defined the qualities of a good prosecutor: A sensitiveness to fair play and sportsmanship is perhaps the best protection against the abuse of power, and the citizen’s safety lies in the prosecutor who tempers zeal with human kindness, who seeks truth and not victims, who serves the law and not factional purposes, and who approaches his task with humility.1 When Attorney General Jackson spoke these words, Norm Maleng was one year old, living with his Norwegian immigrant parents on a small dairy farm near Acme, Washington. Despite his humble roots, that boy would grow up to become a man who epitomized those qualities as few prosecutors ever have.
