Message from the Dean Walking into the UW School of Law this summer, I reflected on the legacy of a 110-year-old law school that broke new ground beginning on day one. 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 encourages 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, service 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.

11 uwlaw UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON SCHOOL OF LAW Meet the law school’s new dean Kellye Testy On August 1, Kellye Y. Testy became the first woman to join the distinguished group of permanent law school deans at the University of Washington. A prolific scholar, outstanding teacher, and experienced dean, Testy came to the UW after a remarkable career at Seattle University. She currently serves on the Association of American Law Schools’ Committee on Recruitment & Retention of Minority Faculty, the American Bar Associa- tion’s Committees on Development and Curriculum, the Board of Governors of the Soci- ety of American Law Teachers, and the Board of the American Law Deans Association.

You had an established career in business Q: after graduating from Indiana University. What propelled you to pursue a law degree?

I became interested in pursuing a law degree A: during my undergraduate studies in a communications law course. We were sent to the law library to do a research paper, and from the moment I read the first case we were assigned, I was hooked. Although I was interested in pursuing legal studies right after graduating, I decided to work for a few years first for several reasons. For one, I’m a first-generation college graduate in my family, and I needed some time to build up the resources to attend law school. As it turned out, my time in the “real world” was enormously beneficial during law school and thereafter. My business background has been especially helpful to me in my role as a dean, and it has also been vital to my work in corporate law.

uwlaw UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON SCHOOL OF LAW Students get a first taste of

experience from mentors

The Professional Mentorship Program started in 1990 with just 21 mentors. It was so successful that it rapidly expanded to 149 mentors the following year. Today, all first-year law students have a professional mentor.

For 19 years, UW law students have benefited from the expertise and experience of the hundreds of JUDGES and attorneys who serve as professional mentors. ”We originally started out with mentors for students of color,” said former Assistant Dean Sandra Madrid. “Many were first-generation law students or had no lawyers in their families or exposure to anyone in the legal field.” Madrid felt having mentors would assist the students in their legal journey, and she was right. For many students, mentors are their first contacts with “people who have been through it.” They provide guidance as students adjust to the often overwhelm- ing demands of their first year in law school. As practicing lawyers, whether in private, government, or public service positions, mentors offer insight into the wide range of careers open to graduates. They make themselves available and offer advice on courses to take, externships to explore, and legal issues found in the curriculum. Associate Dean Mary Hotchkiss and Assistant Dean Naomi Sanchez share the responsibility of assign- ing students to mentors. They look for common interests or similar backgrounds when making their matches.

The compressed schedule of a part-time legislature coupled with a major budget crisis was the setting for the 2009 Olympia Quarter Fellows. Each year, a small group of students spends the entire winter quarter in Olympia working for state agencies.

Perspective In the first person Summer internships, when students work for a modest stipend, and unpaid public service externships for credit are two ways that law students gain valuable experience. Last year, Sean Leonard, class of 2010, took advantage of opportunities to broaden his legal experience by being an intern in a law firm and an extern in government. Here’s his story, in the first person.

If you don’t know how to do things properly and well the first time, you don’t know how to do them well the next time. That’s what you sometimes see with lawyers today.” After graduation, Inveen worked at the East- side Defender Association, and Rice became an associate at Baker & Palmer. Rice entered public service at the Seattle-King County Public De- fender Office the following year. By 1985, Rice had returned to private practice, specializing in employment law and personal injury.

TO OUR READERS from Laura Paskin, editor Soon after the spring ’09 issue of UW Law was mailed, the Washington Legislature passed a budget that included reductions in funding for the University of Washington. Because we are committed to maintaining strong ties to our alumni and friends, we are taking the following steps in light of budget impacts. The fall issue of UW Law will remain our flagship print publication. However, instead of producing a stand-alone report to our donors later this year, we will include annual reporting information in a shorter, spring issue of UW Law. Most importantly, though, we are increasing our efforts to provide timely information to you electronically. You can look forward to receiving our quarterly newsletter, eBriefs, and our monthly eCalendar, which includes a listing of activities at the law school as well as events across the country

and in Asia. You can also subscribe to our Alumni in the News RSS feed at http://www. SCHOOL OF LAW UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON law.washington.edu/news/alumni.aspx or follow us on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/ w
