We have a first-class faculty who are not only highly regarded legal scholars but also outstanding teachers and decent men and women. Two of them—Jane Stapleton and Basil Markesinis—are highlighted in this issue. Bill Powers, Dean Our faculty articulate and model a standard of excel- lence for our students that gives me, and should give all of us, great confidence in the future of our profession and of our society. We have amazingly talented and gifted students. They come to us from all around the country and the world. They are increasingly diverse and bring to our Law School a wide range of experiences and perspectives. They are smart, intellectually curious, and devoted to improving our profession and civic life. In this issue of UTLAW you will learn more about them and their work. You will also learn about our new Society system for teaching, training, and mentoring them. And we have remarkably loyal and generous alumni. It is mostly your story of support that we tell in this issue. We have been fortunate to receive several very large gifts this year, gifts that are helping us to expand our reach in the areas of faculty recruitment, Latin American law, human rights, and teaching excellence. Words cannot express my gratitude for these gifts. All gifts, large or small, are significant. I am thankful for, and humbled by, every one of them. We have a duty to use these gifts wisely and prudently, and we take that duty seriously.

It is a highly readable biography of an extraordinary judge.1 The book was of particular interest to me both because of the special concern I have for the federal courts and because I had the privilege of seeing Judge Hand in action. In the 1949-1950 term I clerked for Judge Charles E. Clark of the Second Circuit, during the time when Learned Hand was chief judge.

PREPARING TOMORROW'S LAWYERS TO TACKLE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY HEALTH AND SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES JENNIFER ROSEN VALVERDEt ABSTRACT Changing times require changes to the ways in which lawyers, define, approach, and address complex problems. Legal education reform is needed to properly equip tomorrow's lawyers with the knowledge and skills necessary to address twenty-first century issues. This Article pro- poses that the legal academy foster the development of competencies in preventive law, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community engage- ment to prepare lawyers adequately for the practice of law. The Article offers one model for so doing-a law school-based medical-legal partner- ship clinic-and discusses the benefits, challenges, and lessons learned from the author's own experience teaching in such a program. However, the Article proposes that the clinic model is merely a starting point, and that law schools should integrate instruction in preventive law, interdisci- plinary collaboration, and community engagement throughout the curric- ulum in a carefully designed progression to achieve the curricular reform needed to properly prepare tomorrow's lawyers.
