They are pictured with student winners: (left to right) Christopher Essig, Chief Justice Moyer, Dean Gregory H. Williams, Justice Pfeifer, Brandy Monk, and Sabrina Hudson. From the Dean This year, as President of the Association of American Law Schools, I have had the opportunity to work with leaders of legal academia from around the country. As I meet with these deans and professors, I have urged law schools to take seriously their role to teach leadership to future lawyers. One of the most important contributions lawyers make is as leaders of their communities. We are fortunate at Ohio State to have many members of our community serving as outstanding leaders whose examples inspire us all. In this issue of the Law Record, we feature three leaders who have made a difference. Judge Yvette McGee Brown ’85 works with troubled youth in Franklin County, Ohio. The enormous success and respect she has gained are due largely to her willingness to see each Dean Gregory H. Williams received an honorary doctor of humanities juvenile defendant as an individual to whom she will give degree during the May 8 commencement at Ball State University, Muncie, the opportunity to earn a second chance.

Dean Williams received his as she teaches them what it means to be a member of society. undergraduate degree form Ball State in 1966. Howard Fort ’47 has been a leader in the Akron, Ohio community. He is one of the oldest African-American lawyers in a fair conclusion to say that most low-income persons in this Akron and has been actively involved in the University of Akron, country lack access to the civil justice system. the Akron Chamber of Commerce, and other community Every thoughtful lawyer that I know values access to the activities. His professional life is another testament to the impact justice system for both the rich and the poor. We do not wish a lawyer can have by embracing opportunities to be a leader, and to alienate people who cannot afford lawyers or to leave them at we are pleased to share his story with you. the mercy of the unscrupulous. Yet unless we come up with a One of the College of Law’s leaders, Nancy H.

Nancy’s leadership and financially supporting legal services—we can improve access to service to the College of Law and to the legal profession has been justice. Our personal acts will also inspire others to follow our exemplary. She served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for example. At the College of Law, we stress to our students that, five years and led our dispute resolution program to national as lawyers, they will be in a position to make a difference in the prominence.

Our faculty and our alumni set examples that our That study took into account the contributions of legal services students willingly follow of lawyers working, in a myriad of lawyers, pro bono services by lawyers, and even monies donated ways, for the good of society. to legal services by lawyers. All of that combined was not enough to provide more than superficial legal representation for the nation’s poor. Making a bad situation worse, Congress has since slashed the federal funding to meet the civil legal needs of the poor. Federal funding for legal services remains 25 percent lower in actual dollars than it was in the early 1990’s.

    History of Sight Saving a Past to Honor… a Future to Mold

    Prevent Blindness, Ohio Affiliate Celebrates A Proud History of Sight Saving A Past to Honor… A Future to Mold In 1908, Dr. Park Lewis, a noted ophthalmologist from Buffalo, New York and Edith Holt, daughter of the New York publisher, decided to take action to fight preventable blindness in the United States. Through the help of volunteers, they established the first volunteer-driven eye health and safety organization, the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Ohio volunteers, Dr. William Synder (Ophthalmologist-Toledo), Robert Irwin (American Association of Workers for the Blind-Cleveland), Jacob Shawan (Columbus Public Schools), and E.M. DePeltquestagny (American Nurses Association-Massillon) joined notables such as William H. Taft, Theodore Roosevelt and Helen Keller in composing the first nationwide board of Directors of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness. This organization also had the distinction of being the second national health organization formed, after the American Red Cross. Through the hard work and dedication of this early group of volunteers, the National Society successfully led legislation that virtually eliminated ophthalmia neonatorum, then a leading cause of blindness in infants. The organization later created the first volunteer-run preschool vision screening program in the United States. In the 1940’s, the National Society (now known as Prevent Blindness America) began expanding vision screening training in different areas of the country and at the same time enlisted the support of Delta Gamma Fraternity. As part of this period of expansion, the Ohio Affiliate of Prevent Blindness (PBO) was founded in 1957. On April 11, 1958, Mrs.

    2006 Primary Election Results

    The Hannah Report Special Election Edition May 3, 2006 2006 Primary Election Results Party caucuses held a few surprises Tuesday. There were a number of anticipated blow-outs and several nail-biters, including a seven-way Democratic primary in the 10th House District that was still too close to call at end of business Wednesday. Results remain officially "unofficial" in all races and do not reflect provisional voting. Absentee ballots were also out in Cuyahoga County, where the election board was forced to count votes by hand in the 10th District and other races. A disclaimer at the secretary of state's website notes that results will be final 81 days after the date on which county boards of elections have all completed official canvases, which must be no later than May 23, 2006. Statewide Races U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland (D-Ohio) easily overcame his opponent to win the Democratic caucus for governor by a factor of four. Bryan Flannery was unable to capitalize on allegations concerning a former Strickland staffer arrested for public indecency. On the Republican side, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell banked on a well-organized and financially generous grassroots effort to pass Attorney General Jim Petro for the gubernatorial nomination. In the attorney general campaign, Sen. Tim Grendell (R-Chesterland) acknowledged the inevitability of former attorney general Betty Montgomery's bid for another Republican nomination to her old job, conceding early Tuesday to the sitting auditor. Among Democrats, former Cleveland law director Subodh Chandra won numerous newspaper endorsements -- though not his party's -- for attorney general, which was instead claimed by leading workers' comp critic Sen.
