Many of the stories were conceived and written in late 2019 and early 2020. The news and information they convey were and are truly meaningful to both the history and the future of the College of Law. As you will read about in this edition, two beloved professors passed away, two loyal employees retired and we welcomed a talented new professor who we hope is with us for a long time. We also profile two alumni who are tremendous examples of our desire to “develop inclusive leaders” who use their legal education to break new ground in the business world. As these stories were being finalized in March, we were excited about how this edition portrayed the College’s past success and previews our future potential. On a personal note, I was preparing to thank Acting Dean Anna Shavers for her great work during the ten months I served as the interim executive vice chancellor, and I was thrilled to be returning to the law school on March 23. Then COVID-19 hit and much of what we know about the world changed, seemingly in the blink of an eye. As a result, I will let the stories in this edition speak for themselves, and I will use this note to say that you should be proud of the way your university and law school responded to the crisis. We put students first. The law faculty spent countless hours transitioning their courses to remote learning, a process that sometimes meant learning new technologies and formats that would engage students over the last month of the semester. Our staff called each of our 400 students twice in the first three weeks to check in and make sure they were healthy and set up for success in the online environment. We promulgated a pass/no pass policy that ensured that students most impacted by the crisis could focus on balancing their health, family obligations, work and school and that the disparate impact the crisis was having on various students would not be unfairly reflected in their grades. 2 Nebraska Transcript — Spring 2020 Dean's Message We kept our employees safe. Very early in the crisis, the NU president and the UNL chancellor prioritized flexible work arrangements so our faculty and staff could work remotely. This de- densified the campus and kept our employees as safe as possible. At the College of Law, staff set up a variety of ways to keep our vibrant community engaged and positive, including weekly all- staff meetings on Zoom, a variety of Slack channels for fun challenges and games (as well as some exchange of work information!) and professional development Zoom seminars on various GALLUP Strengths. As difficult as this time is, my hope is that our community comes out of it even “Please know that no matter what stronger because of this effort. happens the College of Law will relentlessly focus on our mission by We solved problems and prepared for new challenges. Almost immediately after we putting students first, keeping our planned for the end of the spring semester, we community safe and transparently started addressing new challenges presented by and affirmatively confronting the the summer and the fall. For example, students challenges this crisis has placed were having trouble finding jobs because of the economic shutdown, so Professor Stefanie in front of us.

We are actively engaged in planning for a fall in which social-distancing requirements may dramatically impact how we deliver our educational program. We are expecting a budgetary impact from COVID-19 that requires the College to prioritize its core mission and values, and we are deep in our thinking about how to be successful with fewer resources. Fortunately, we have spent much of the past 18 months redefining that mission and those values, so we will use our strategic plan to guide our priorities. Of course, so much is still in flux. As I write this, we are six weeks past the University’s decision to teach, learn and work remotely, and six days before an online graduation “celebration” we are having on Zoom because our live graduation has been postponed. The world has changed for all of us in the last six weeks, and I have no idea what will happen between now and when you receive this in your mailbox. Please know that no matter what happens the College of Law will relentlessly focus on our mission by putting students first, keeping our community safe and transparently and affirmatively confronting the challenges this crisis has placed in front of us. We will continue to make you proud of the University of Nebraska and the College of Law. Most importantly, I hope that whatever the future brings that you and your loved ones remain safe and healthy. I look forward to the next time we can get together in person and wish you each the very best. Richard Moberly Dean and Richard C. & Catherine S.

  • The Adelaide Law School 1883-1983
    THE ADELAIDE LAW SCHOOL 1883-1983 by Victor Allen Edgeloe Dr Edgeloe, Registrar Emeritus of the University of Adelaide, was Secretary of the Faculty of Law from 1927 to 1948, and Registrar from 1955 to 1973. Since his retirement Dr Edgeloe has written an account of the foundation and development of the Faculties of Law, Medicine and Music. His aim was, as he states in the preface, "to provide an administrator's history of the birth of the University's schools of law, medicine and music" which '%umrnarises the relevant records of the University and the relevant comments of the public press of the day". The manuscript is held in the Barr Smith Library. It shows Dr Edgeloe's love of, and devotion to, the University which he served for forty-six years. The Adelaide Law Review Association is grateful to him for permission to include his history of the Law School in this collection of essays. The Beginnings In the 1870's the Province of South Australia was a pioneering community which was expanding rapidly in numbers and in area occupied. There was a clear need for a growing body of well-trained lawyers. The existing arrangements for the training of lawyers involved simply the satisfactory completion of a five-year apprenticeship with a legal practitioner (technically designated "service in articles") and the passing of a small range of examinations conducted by the Supreme Court. University teaching in law was available in the United Kingdom and had also been established in Melbourne.' The South Australian Parliament envisaged a similar development here for it empowered the University from its foundation in 1874 to confer degrees in law and thus give the University a major role in the training of members of the legal profession within the Province.

  • Can Academic Freedom in Faith-Based Colleges and Universities Survive During the Era of Obergefell?
    CAN ACADEMIC FREEDOM IN FAITH-BASED COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES SURVIVE DURING THE ERA OF OBERGEFELL? Charles J. Russo† INTRODUCTION On August 15, 1990, Saint Pope John Paul II promulgated Ex Corde Ecclesiae (“Ex Corde”),1 literally, “From the Heart of the Church,” an apostolic constitution about Roman Catholic colleges and universities. By definition, apostolic constitutions address important matters concerning the universal Church.2 Ex Corde created a tempest in a teapot for academicians by requiring Roman Catholics who serve on faculties in theology, religious studies, and/or related departments in Catholic institutions of higher education to obtain a Mandatum, or mandate, from their local bishops, essentially a license certifying the faithfulness of their teaching and writing in terms of how they present the magisterial position of the Church.3 † B.A., 1972, St. John’s University; M. Div., 1978, Seminary of the Immaculate Conception; J.D., 1983, St. John’s University; Ed.D., 1989, St. John’s University; Panzer Chair in Education and Adjunct Professor of Law, University of Dayton (U.D.).
