2017 Transcript Alumni Magazine THE UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO COLLEGE OF LAW TRANSCRIPT FALL 2017 WOMEN IN THE PROFESSION, THEN AND NOW Our Alumnae and Friends Share Their Stories Back by popular demand! Toledo Law branded apparel by Land’s End BUSINESS.LANDSEND.COM/STORE/TOLEDOLAW SEPTEMBER 1, 2017 We are off to the start of another great year at the College of Law. For the second year in a row, we dramatically outperformed the national admissions trends. We had double-digit increases in both applications and enrollment in an environment where both measures were flat nationally and regionally. We grew our entering class while maintaining our entering credentials, which we had increased significantly last year. Assistant Dean of Admissions Jessica Mehl ’05, and her team continue to do a great job informing prospective students about the wonderful education they will receive if they join us at the College of Law. We also are pleased that we increased the percentage of women in our first-year class to 48 percent. Consistent with the overall theme of this issue of the Transcript, we have made progress on this measure, but we still have room for improvement. To help us make progress on diversity more broadly, I appointed Prof. Jelani Jefferson Exum to the newly created position of associate dean for diversity and inclusion. In this new position, Prof. Exum will undertake a number of initiatives, including the development of a new pipeline program focused on minority undergraduates in our region. In March, we learned we had improved 12 spots in the U.S. News & World Report law school rankings, from 144 to 132. This step up in the rankings was due largely to improvement in our entering student credentials and in our graduate employment rates. The U.S. News rankings are fickle, and we may move down again a little bit next year due to a decrease in the employment rate of our 2016 graduating class. Improving graduate employment is one of our highest priorities. We understand that students come to law school to get a good job. We will continue to work hard to improve the employment outcomes for our students because it is at the core of our mission as a law school. Improving employment outcomes will have the additional benefit of helping with our U.S. News ranking. One of the greatest things you can do to aid the College of Law is to help one of our graduates land a job. If you can contribute in this way, please get in touch with Kelly Tomlinson ’06, the director of our outstanding Office of Professional Development. We have been able to brighten up the Law Center with several facilities projects. Last summer, we created a new reading room on the 4th floor of LaValley Law Library and renovated the Chris ’83, and Peggy ’82, Bussert Classroom. This summer, we completed a renovation of the Cubbon Courtroom that included a technology update. This will allow our students to learn cutting-edge techniques on the electronic presentation of evidence. We also replaced the ceilings and lighting in the second floor hallways. If you haven’t been in the Law Center for awhile, please stop by to see our new look. To continue to make progress, we need your support. Your donations to the College of Law help us with the work we do every day. Many of our improvements were funded by generous alumni gifts. The library reading room, for example, was funded in significant part by a gift from the estate of Charles F. Buck ’51, and the Cubbon Courtroom renovation was funded from funds set aside with admirable foresight from the original naming gift made by Frank ’54, and Barbara Cubbon. Your support also helped us purchase a course from BarBri that allowed our third-year students to get a jump on their bar preparation. We are in the process of implementing a comprehensive bar success program for our students. Having your financial support allows us to do new and innovative things quickly, as needs arise. Our fundraising efforts will be greatly aided by our new director of development, Andria Dorsten Ebert. Prior to joining us in July, Ms. Ebert was regional director of Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, Inc. She knows the Toledo legal community well, and we are glad to have her on our team. As always, we would be delighted to see you if you would like to stop by for a visit, or to hear from you if you have any thoughts or suggestions you would like to share. Together, we will continue to build on our great history, and make the College of Law even better than before! Sincerely, D.

In most Reconstruction literature, the question of black American freedom and citizenship was the central issue of Reconstruction, but not to the Republicans. The question of black American freedom and citizenship was the most salient issue to them, but they set that issue within a larger problem: the political regime of the antebellum slave South had deviated from the plan of the American Founders long before secession in 1860-1861.

SHAWPROOFS_9.30.20 9/30/2020 11:50 AM IMPEACHABLE SPEECH Katherine Shaw* ABSTRACT Rhetoric is both an important source of presidential power and a key tool of presidential governance. For at least a century, the bully pulpit has amplified presidential power and authority, with significant consequences for the separation of powers and the constitutional order more broadly. Although the power of presidential rhetoric is a familiar feature of the contemporary legal and political landscape, far less understood are the constraints upon presidential rhetoric that exist within our system. Impeachment, of course, is one of the most important constitutional constraints on the president. And so, in the wake of the fourth major presidential impeachment effort in our history, it is worth pausing to examine the relationship between presidential rhetoric and Congress’s power of impeachment. Although presidential rhetoric was largely sidelined in the 2019–2020 impeachment of President Donald Trump, presidential speech actually played a significant role in every other major presidential impeachment effort in our history.

  • On the Ascent... Summiting with Shugendo Hether It’S a Hill at 3,000 Feet Or a Summit Over 6,000 Meters, Wclimbers Know “It’S the Mountain More Than the Summit”

On the Ascent... Summiting with Shugendo hether it’s a hill at 3,000 feet or a summit over 6,000 meters, Wclimbers know “it’s the mountain more than the summit”... physically, chronologically, and philosophically. Still there’s nothing like a summit for inspiration. That’s the story of Shugendo at Mount Omine-san in Japan’s Central Alps. Climbing the mountain is the religious practice. The summit is the enlightenment, Nirvana. If you want a good hike or to be a bod- hisattva (an “enlightened one”) go to Omine-san or build your own ten- step course; Mount Omine-san’s physical practice is below. 1.

  • “Where Do We Go from Here?” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Workers’ Rights
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLP\14-1\HLP108.txt unknown Seq: 1 30-JAN-20 10:13 “Where Do We Go From Here?” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Workers’ Rights Rebecca E. Zietlow* This article considers the important links between racial equality and workers’ rights in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s activism. Dr. King understood the connection between racial and economic subordination—he also understood that achieving racial justice would not be possible without achieving economic justice through a coalition between the civil rights and labor movements. This article chronicles Dr. King’s alliances with labor activ- ists as well as the tensions between organized labor and civil rights activism. This article also highlights how Dr. King’s emphasis on labor activism informed his approach to fight- ing against segregation and on behalf of voting rights for African Americans. For Dr. King, true racial equality was inseparable from economic empowerment. Dr. King’s insight that racial discrimination was linked to the economic subordina- tion of workers followed a great tradition of political activism within the United States on behalf of racial equality and the rights of workers. This article argues that advocates for workers’ rights and racial equality have been most successful when they worked together because race discrimination has been integrally connected to the exploitation of workers throughout our country’s history. Drawing on historical research, this article develops the links between labor movements and antislavery and civil rights activism in order to place Dr. King’s commitment to the rights of workers in context and to point the way forward.

  • Ashley Biography CCWRT
    The Life and Times of James M. Ashley Submitted by Raelin Ingram, Washington Senior Research History Class Ohioan James M. Ashley did many notable things in his life, including proposing and leading the passage of the 13th Amendment, being mostly self taught, becoming a cabin boy and clerk on a riverboat, passing the bar to become a lawyer, becoming elected to Congress and serving eight years as an Ohio Congressman, securing the Emancipation of Washington D.C., becoming Territorial Governor of Montana, building a railroad stretching from Toledo to northern Michigan, and being president of that railroad for sixteen years. Born in 1824 in Allegheny County PA, Ashley ’s parents moved him to Portsmouth OH when he was two years old. During his childhood and adolescence, there was much tension with his father. For this reason, Ashley grew very close and learned many things, both intellectually and morally, from his mother who had many abolitionist friends. This learning is what molded him into becoming such a strong abolitionist. At the age of fourteen, while getting much pressure from his father to attend a religious college to further his biblical knowledge, he left home to make his own life. Ashley did not speak or write to his father again until he was twenty-one, but wrote often to his mother. It was during this time that he held various jobs on the riverboat. When he was a young man, he became familiar with the Underground Railroad in Kentucky. Even at this early age he was popular among the slaves and abolitionists.
