2008 was certainly a successful year for Capital University Law School. On Oct. 31 we received the fabulous news that Capital University Law School had a first-time pass rate on the July 2008 Ohio Bar Exam of 94 percent! I am so proud of our graduates; 130 of our 138 first-time takers passed, placing Capital first in the state! Congratulations and hats off to our graduates for their incredible hard work. I also want to congratulate our faculty for all of their hard work – for the seriousness with which they approach their teaching, for their creativity in the classroom, for the Dean and Professor of Law new academic programs and services they have adopted for our students. Our suc- Jack A. Guttenberg cess has been a team effort and I am very proud of all that we have accomplished.

This past fall we also learned that our law faculty was ranked second among its peers (fourth-tier law schools) and 36th among 118 law schools in a national study of scholarship produced in top publications by faculty at second-, third- and fourth- tier law schools, as identified by the U.S. News & World Report rankings. This accomplishment further exemplifies what I have been saying for a long time, “that our faculty can compete with the best and that we are a law school much better than our current U.S. News ranking may suggest.”

And in other great news to share – congratulations to our National Center for Adoption Law & Policy for its 2008 Angel in Adoption™ award. This honor recognizes NCALP for its outstanding advocacy on behalf of children who are involved in our nation’s child welfare systems and the assistance it provides professionals who serve these children.

Thank you to our alumni and donors for their support this past year. Our alumni giving participation, the total annual gift support, and the major and planned gift support all increased this year. Your contributions have helped us to provide more scholarships for our academically deserving students, enhance our student services and academic programs to enrich the Capital University Law School experience, support our faculty in their teaching and scholarship endeavors, and bring us closer to the statewide average for alumni giving to their law schools.

I invite you to be a part of our success. I know these are challenging economic times, but Capital University Law School needs your support more than ever to maintain this momentum and build upon these great successes.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you on May 1, 2009, at our Alumni Recognition Luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Columbus.

Nearly 200 J.D., LL.M. and M.T. students graduated in May from Capital University Law School.

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, L’83, delivered Capital University Law School’s 2008 Commencement address. She also received an honorary degree in recognition of her dedication to public service and her commitment to the people of Ohio to ensure that elections are open and honest.

Brunner, Ohio’s first woman to serve as secretary of state, is the 2007 recipient of Capital University Law School’s Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award. This past May she was awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award, the nation’s most prestigious honor for elected public servants. The award seeks to make Americans aware of the conscientious and courageous acts of their public servants, and to encourage elected officials to choose principles over partisanship – to do what is right, rather than what is expedient.

Key Result Area Building Our Culture of Philanthropy

Included in the goals for developing our financial strength are plans to: n Enhance our learning environment, with a clear focus on learning resources, academic support, academic counseling and career development. • Secure a minimum of $1.5 million in permanently endowed funding to support ongoing law library materials acquisition. Law libraries face unprecedent- ed financial pressures today. The costs of library materials – print and online – have grown dramatically. n Enhance the experiential environment outside the classroom by enriching intellectual and social life within the Law School through greater student-faculty interaction and increased support for the Law Review, moot court, externships and other programs. • Secure a minimum of $1 million in permanently endowed funding to support outside-the-classroom student experiences, activities and organizations.
