LETTER FROM THE DEAN Martin Dickinson and I have a few things in common. We’ve served together on the KU Law faculty. We’ve had the great honor of leading this institution, in separate eras, as its dean. And we share expertise in tax law, a subject I think we can all agree spawns the most riveting courses taught at this school. All kidding aside, I’ve considered Professor Dickinson a trusted mentor for decades. When he offered to reflect on his 48-year tenure at KU Law, I gratefully accepted, knowing the resulting article would provide a unique perspective on the school’s evolution. Most students experience law school in three-year increments marked by intense study and a focus on graduating, passing the bar and launching their careers. As you’ll read in his cover story, Dickinson taught 4,000 such students on their journeys through KU Law. Needless to say, he is qualified to speak with authority about the big picture. And that’s what I find most fascinating about his account — how all the moments stitched together illustrate the values and trajectory of the University of Kansas School of Law. It’s an interesting exercise attempting to connect the dots, for example, from our founding by Populist Dean James Woods Green, who welcomed students of all ethnicities and genders, to our concerted efforts beginning in the late 1960s to actively recruit students of color and help open the legal profession to the influx of women choosing law school, to the success of the bold advocates and leaders we proudly count among our alumni today. Through burning buildings, economic recessions and declining state funding, KU Law has, as Dickinson writes, “demonstrated an impressive capacity to respond to changes in Kansas, the nation, the world and the legal profession while continuing to honor its rich tradition.” Your law school experiences — like the ones recounted in this issue by Judge Jean Shepherd, Tim Connell, Annie Browning Wilson, Rusty Leffel, and Thomas Vaughn – are part of that tradition. And KU Law’s staying power is fueled in no small measure by your unflagging support. When you mentor current students, hire new graduates, share your expertise as a guest lecturer, serve on the Board of Governors, or contribute to a scholarship fund, we all rise together. Because of your generosity, we continue to surge past our $20 million fundraising goal for Far Above — up by $6.5 million with six months still remaining in the capital campaign. That total is built with gifts from 3,464 donors. If my calculations are correct — and I am a tax professor — we just need 536 more donors to reach the number of students Professor Dickinson taught over 48 years at KU Law. Let’s aspire to connect those dots.

SEXUAL ASSAULT ON CAMPUS Law symposium explores how colleges should handle epidemic RECENT STUDIES INDICATE THAT nearly one in four female students experience sexual violence during their college years – troubling figures that are attracting national media attention and serious evaluations by universities of how they handle such crimes. Legal scholars and advocates from across the country contributed to that conversation during the 2015 Kansas Law Review Symposium, “Sexual Assault on Campus,” held Oct. 23 at the University of Kansas School of Law. Speakers discussed anti-rape culture,

campus sexual violence reform, the gendered use of legality, sexual assault as sexual harassment, the myth of the “perfect victim,” the Title IX “mistake” and other topics. “In September 2014, President Obama launched the ‘It’s on Us’ initiative to address the pressing issue of campus sexual assault. Just over one year later, the Kansas Law Review provided needed attention to the discussion about the proper governmental, cultural and university responses to sexual violence at America’s institutions of higher education,” said Corey Rayburn Yung, a KU Law professor who teaches a course on sex crimes. “With experts from across the nation, we aimed to

KU Law graduates outperform peers on Kansas, Missouri bar examinations KU LAW GRADUATES IN THE CLASS of 2015 passed the bar exam in Kansas and Missouri at rates that far exceeded state averages. They also ranked first among all Kansas and Missouri law schools for performance on the Missouri exam. KU graduates taking the Kansas bar exam for the first time in July 2015 achieved a 91.6 percent pass rate, surpassing by a staggering 10.6 percent the state pass rate of 81 percent. Alumni performed even better in Missouri, where 94.7 percent of KU test-takers passed the bar on their first attempt. That showing outpaces by 8 percent the state average of 86.7 percent.

With this outcome, KU ranked No. 1 among all law schools in Kansas and Missouri whose graduates sat for the July 2015 bar exam in high numbers, including the University of Missouri, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, St. Louis University, Washington University in St. Louis and Washburn University. “We are thrilled by the extraordinary success of our hard-working 2015 graduates,” said Stephen Mazza, dean of the law school. “Our students have consistently exceeded the state average when it comes to passing the bar exam – the essential first step for any graduate seeking to practice law.”

CLINICS

Innocence Project client: ‘I had given up, and she gave me my life back’ A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ONE KU Law student turned into a second chance this fall for a woman serving life in prison in connection with a high-profile Topeka murder. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in July ruled that Kimberly Sharp was unconstitutionally convicted in the 2006 slaying of a Topeka homeless advocate. The court handed down the decision based on an appeal by KU’s Project for Innocence. Sharp recently visited KU Law and met Abby West, the 2015 graduate who spent hours poring over trial documents and prior decisions, eventually writing the brief that helped overturn Sharp’s murder conviction and vacate her life sentence. “She fought for me. She went to bat for me,” Sharp told current students in the Project. “I had given up, and she gave me

my life back. You’ll do that for somebody, so take pride in what you want to do. You will make a difference.” ONLINE | Read more about the case and the court’s ruling at law.ku.edu/kim-sharp

KU EXPANDS 3+3 PROGRAM STATEWIDE STUDENTS AT STATE UNIVERSITIES across Kansas will have an opportunity to accelerate their legal education and save a year of tuition through an expansion of the 3 Plus 3 Program at the University of Kansas. The program will allow high-ability students at participating Regents universities to maximize their undergraduate coursework, earning a bachelor’s degree and a KU law degree in six years instead of seven. Students will spend three years on bachelor’s degree requirements from their undergraduate institution and three years on requirements for a KU law degree. They will graduate with a bachelor’s degree after their fourth year and already have one year of law school under their belt. “We are excited to expand this opportunity to students across Kansas in collaboration with our Regents partners,” said Jeffrey S. Vitter, provost and executive vice chancellor. “It saves students a year of study and undergraduate tuition, and helps ensure that high-achieving students who are interested in legal careers earn their law degrees in Kansas. We know that students who graduate from a Kansas institution are more likely to stay in the state to work and serve the people of Kansas.” The 3 Plus 3 Program is entering its third year at KU with growing enrollment each year since its inception. “KU Law is at the forefront of changing the way students gain a legal education,” said Stephen Mazza, dean of the law school. “Through this expansion of the 3 Plus 3 Program, Kansas will become the first state with a statewide, guaranteed-admission accelerated law degree. Not only will Kansas students benefit from a great legal education at less cost and in less time, but the university and the state will also benefit by being able to recruit the best and brightest prelaw students nationally.”

KU LAW WELCOMES CLASS OF 2018

Richard Buxbaum, the Jackson H. Ralston Professor Emeritus of International Law at the University of California-Berkeley, delivers the Robert C. Casad Comparative Law Lecture on Oct. 8 at KU Law.

When history repeats International law scholar reflects on debt crises at KU’s Casad lecture SINCE THE GREEK DEBT CRISIS BEGAN in 2010, the country has grabbed international headlines with its staggering unemployment and plummeting GDP, international bailouts and strict austerity measures, and speculation that Greece may leave the eurozone. While noteworthy, Greece’s experience is not new. The country’s path is reminiscent of Germany’s attempts to rebuild after World War I, and considering German history may shed light on how leaders can restore growth in Greece. KU Law welcomed Richard Buxbaum, the Jackson H. Ralston Professor Emeritus of International Law at the University of California-Berkeley, to discuss the parallels at the third Robert C. Casad Comparative Law Lecture on Oct. 8. Buxbaum’s presentation, titled “Twentieth-Century Sovereign Debtors: From Germany to Greece,” explored the

effects of the Treaty of Versailles on the German Reich after World War I. The Versailles terms required Germany to repay steep war debts, resulting in depression and instability. Germany defaulted on its debts, unleashing an economic crisis that helped usher in Hitler’s rise to power, led to war and economic collapse, and instigated the country’s division. Buxbaum studies corporation law and comparative and international economic law and is past editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Comparative Law. He holds an LL.M. from UC Berkeley and an LL.B. and bachelor’s degrees from Cornell University. The Casad lecture series is named in honor of Professor Emeritus Robert C. Casad, who served on the KU Law faculty from 1959 to 1997.

HAILING FROM 72 COLLEGES AND universities with mascots ranging from Shockers to Sun Devils, the Class of 2018 united as Jayhawks this fall to begin their journey toward becoming KU Lawyers. The class includes 126 new J.D. students, 51 percent of whom are Kansas residents. The remaining 49 percent join KU from 25 other states and three foreign countries. Seven students have served in the military, and others have lived, worked and studied around the world. Many class members have been active in politics. The class also includes a professional orchestral tuba player, a legal adviser for a human rights organization in Cameroon, and a lawyer from Paraguay. Beyond the traditional J.D. program, two students enrolled in the 2-Year J.D. Program for Foreign-Trained Lawyers, and seven students entered the Doctor of Juridical Science Program, including a Fulbright Scholar from Egypt. “It’s not surprising that most elected officials at the federal level, many CEOs, many community leaders have a law degree,” Dean Stephen Mazza told the students in his welcome remarks. “After you complete your law degree, you will have the kind of intellect and the skills to be an effective leader. And that’s what we’re hoping for you.” Nine first-year students joined the ranks of KU Law’s Student Ambassadors this year. Learn about them on the law school website (link below).

Two top-20 rankings for KU Law emphasize affordability, value KU LAW IS THE NO. 18 BEST VALUE Law School in the country and one of the top 20 law schools nationwide for students graduating with the least debt, according to National Jurist magazine and U.S. News & World Report. KU finished first in both rankings among law schools in Kansas and the Kansas City area. The Best Value ranking highlights affordable law schools whose graduates perform exceptionally well on the bar exam and have had success finding legal jobs. National Jurist ranked the top 20 schools and assigned a letter grade to the other 45 honorees. “We are pleased that we continue to excel in this ranking because we pride ourselves on delivering an affordable legal education that prepares our graduates for

successful careers,” said Stephen Mazza, dean of the law school. “At KU Law, value isn’t just about reasonable tuition. Our graduates pass the bar exam at a rate that consistently exceeds the state average, and they secure quality employment at a rate that stacks up against the top quarter of law schools in the country.” And law students reach those achievements while avoiding excessive student loans. U.S. News ranked KU Law 20th in the nation among law schools whose graduates finish school with the least debt. “It’s a relief to know that I’ll have choices when I graduate that aren’t defined by financial burdens,” said Julia Leth-Perez, a third-year KU Law student. “I’m getting a great education at KU, and I know I’m prepared for my career in law.”

What’s your #HandsOnKU story? AS YOU THINK BACK TO YOUR LAW school days, what helped best prepare you for the career you’ve built since graduation? If a clinic, skills course, moot court or some other experiential learning opportunity benefited you, we want to hear about it. After we shared on Facebook the story of two recent students who polished their speaking skills and brushed up on courtroom etiquette while helping real clients through KU’s Legal Aid Clinic, 2009 alumna Danielle Davey recalled her own experience in the clinic: “Legal Aid was far and away the most productive use of my time in law school. It not only gave me practical experience in court and with clients that let me hit the ground running in one of the toughest legal job markets in recent history, but it introduced me to practicing attorneys and connections that I still have today.”

Kasper Schirer, L’15, learned about underlying systemic issues that create challenges for indigent clients in KU’s Legal Aid Clinic.

School’s longest-serving professor recounts fascinating, revolutionary ride

4 8 YE A R S AT KU L AW BY MARTIN DICKINSON

I’VE JUST COMPLETED 48 years at KU Law, becoming the longest-serving faculty member in the history of the school, narrowly eclipsing William L. Burdick’s 47 years (1898-1945). It’s been a fascinating ride that included revolutionary changes at KU Law. I have described below the most important, with the thought that this historical perspective may be of interest to both recent and distant KU Law graduates. This account is dedicated to the 4,000 students who have passed through my classes. Every year I am inspired by their talent, dedication and promise. They always give me hope for the future, and it has been a privilege to play a role in their lives.

WOMEN

The most far-reaching change is the dramatic expansion of women’s involvement in the law school and the legal profession. This occurred in the span of a single generation, reflecting a fundamental change in American society.

My mother, Ruth Van Riper Dickinson, graduated from KU Law in 1929, the only woman in a class of 21. In the nearly four decades between her graduation and my appointment to the faculty in 1967, only 3 percent of graduates were women. That all changed with the nine women in the 1970 entering class. The female percentage rose year after year to 37 percent in 1984, and to 47 percent in 1991. (Female enrollment in the 2015 entering class was 48 percent.) While there were never barriers to female enrollment in KU Law, entering the profession was another matter. As late as 1973 many of the most prominent firms in Kansas City maintained longstanding policies against hiring women. I and others at KU Law traveled to Kansas City and talked with the leaders of those firms. Our arguments were pragmatic — that female enrollment would inevitably grow and that firms unwilling to hire women would deny themselves some of the best talent available. Many firm

FROM TEACHER TO LAWYER

leaders responded positively, and the rest is history. The female graduates of the 1970s were pioneers in every sense of the word. Their hard work and achievements assured that later graduates would not face the same obstacles. A good example is Judge Kathryn Vratil, L’75, whose hiring as a clerk by the highly regarded U.S. District Court Judge Earl O’Connor sent a powerful message to both bench and bar regarding opportunities for women. She went on to a distinguished career as a practitioner and judge, ultimately succeeding O’Connor as the first female judge on the U.S. District Court for Kansas. A special group of pioneers were “second career” women who left professions traditionally open to women, such as teaching and nursing, and entered the law. Judge Jean Shepherd, L’77, took this path when she left K-12 teaching to attend KU Law. She went on to excel as a prosecutor, private practitioner, Kansas District Court judge, and nationally recognized leader in juvenile law. I believe the presence of these “second career” women, together with many well-qualified traditional students, may have given the mid- and late-70s classes the greatest depth of talent in the school’s history. The ’70s produced many other pioneers who led the way for women. A few examples and the positions to which they ascended: Judge Mary Beck Briscoe, L’73, chief judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit; Catherine McGuire, L’73, counsel, SEC Division of Trading & Markets; Victoria Thomas, L’75, general counsel, University of Kansas; Linda Legg, L’75, chief counsel, SBC Communications; Judge Linda Trigg, L’76, Johnson County District Court judge and president, Kansas Bar Association; Jennifer Gille Bacon, L’76, shareholder at Polsinelli PC and president, Missouri Bar Association; Lydia Beebe, L’77, corporate secretary and chief governance officer, Chevron Corporation; Sheila

JUDGE JEAN SHEPHERD,

L’77, was one of the KU Law women pioneers of the 1970s. Like several of her female classmates, Shepherd pursued law as a second career, leaving behind the fields traditionally open to women at the time. When she entered law school in 1974, Shepherd was a nontraditional student, a single mother and former high school teacher. The campus had changed since she earned her undergraduate degree in 1968. Women were allowed to wear jeans to class, and students were consumed with the Vietnam War and civil rights, making for a much more “aware and involved” student life. “I could never have described what would have been the perfect career, my true vocation, but that’s what I ended up doing. My teaching background was instrumental in that happening because I always valued areas of the law that related to children and families and thought that’s where a difference could be made for the future. “I think teaching was the best training I had for being in control of a courtroom. There’s a lot of teaching that goes on in the courtroom, explaining people’s rights

and the process. There’s a look that students and adults get when they’re nodding their heads but don’t understand. You need to recognize that look and rephrase things, find other words to use so people can get some clarity. Sometimes the excuses people use are like all those excuses for why homework didn’t get done, only at a different level. “In teaching, you learn how to act like you’re in charge even though you’re not sure you are, and there were certainly moments like that in the courtroom. You make important decisions and you mete out consequences that are hopefully appropriate, but people have to understand the process. If people feel they’ve been heard and if they feel they understand what happened, there are few complaints.” — Emily Sharp

Bair, L’78, chair, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The entry of women to the faculty has been no less dramatic. There were no women faculty members until 1971, when Louise Wheeler joined us. The number grew to five by 1980. Today, 19 of our 42 faculty members are females.

DEMAND FOR LEGAL EDUCATION

Until the mid 1960s, legal education was in low demand. At most law schools, including KU, admission was virtually assured unless the applicant’s academic record was so weak that prospects for success in law school were remote. In 1964 KU Law received only 158 applications for 104 seats. That began to change in 1966, when applications rose over 300. By 1970 the interest of American young people in social issues, including the Vietnam War, civil rights for minorities, equality for women and environmental concerns had grown dramatically. Accelerating legislation and litigation involving these issues convinced young people of the central importance of lawyers and the legal system. Suddenly, legal education was a hot commodity. Applications at KU Law rose to 575 in 1970 and ultimately to 1,640 in 1972 — the highest ever. For lawyers and others who assumed that their children could

readily be admitted to KU Law, as in the past, this was a rude awakening. Often, politically powerful individuals pressured us to admit their favored applicants. But we were able to hold our ground and adhere to strictly objective admissions standards. After a few years, our merit-based approach became known and accepted, and the political pressure disappeared. Demand gradually moderated but remained elevated enough that admission continued to be highly competitive for four decades. The 2008 recession hit the law profession hard,

jobs became scarce, and applications plummeted at KU and across the nation. In order to maintain the quality of the student body, the entering class size was lowered from 165 in 2010 to a 42-year low of 107 in 2013. The 2014 and 2015 entering classes were somewhat larger at 129 and 126.

NEW GREEN HALL

The original Green Hall was completed in 1907 and housed 127 students. By 1974, nearly 500 students were crowded into the old building. A new structure was essential.

KU LAW MAGAZINE 11

THE BIG MOVE

ANNIE BROWNING WILSON, L’78, saw the move as a preview of the coming transitions in her life and the lives of her classmates. “We were leaving the comfy confines of old Green in the heart of campus and moving to the suburbs. Our law school days filled with precedent and legal theory would soon be replaced by graduation and the reality of the modern world.”

12 KU LAW MAGAZINE

OR Ha IGIN stu ll com AL G de nts plete REEN enr d; 1 olle 27 d

TIM CONNELL, L’78, remembers the move as bittersweet. “After two and half years we had come to love being scrunched by too many people between classes, sitting on the steps watching people walk by, and the convenience of the nearby union. It was old and crowded, but we were used to it. We weren’t going to be able to climb out the window after class anymore. But we weren’t going to miss going to class on Saturday morning while the band marched by either. They had movers box up the books in the stacks, but I was working for the Defender Project. We boxed up the files, put them in a pickup and moved over to new Green ourselves.”

1907

A private fundraising drive in the early 1960s proved unsuccessful, and it was clear that public funding would be needed. When I was offered the deanship in May of 1971, I accepted on the condition that a new building would be provided from public funds. In September of 1971, the university published an $85 million list of capital construction priorities ($496 million in 2015 dollars). The law school was nowhere on the list. In response, I orchestrated an intense lobbying campaign, which was vigorously supported by students, faculty and alumni. By the spring of 1972, we were No. 1 on the list. A key figure in achieving this victory was Fred Six, L’56, then president of the KU Law Society (our alumni advisory board), and later a highly regarded justice of the Kansas Supreme Court. Now we had to run a gauntlet to get legislative approval. Topeka boosters and some Washburn alumni argued that the KU and Washburn law schools should be combined and located in Topeka — the seat of government. Wichita boosters, observing the greatly increased demand for legal education, argued that a third

law school should be created in Wichita. The 1973 legislative session would be crucial. I knew that we could not leave the outcome to the unpredictable machinations of legislative debate. So, in the fall of 1972, I visited every lawyerlegislator in his or her hometown. This turned out to be one of the most satisfying experiences in my nine years as dean. I was received with gracious hospitality wherever I went, and every lawyer-legislator — whether a graduate of KU, Washburn or another law school — gave me time to make the case. Perhaps as a result of this effort, the initial appropriation for new Green Hall sailed through the 1973 session without a hitch. We were on our way. The last classes were held in old Green Hall on Saturday, Oct. 15, 1977, and the first classes were held in new Green Hall on Monday, Oct. 17. The building was dedicated on Feb. 21, 1978, under the leadership of former President Gerald Ford.

MINORITIES

Dean James Woods Green, founder of KU Law, was a genuine Populist. The doors of the law school were open to everyone

from the very start. KU Law graduated its first AfricanAmerican student in 1887 and its first female student in 1889. This was a half-century or more before many allegedly elite Eastern law schools opened their doors to anyone other than white males. Minority enrollment, however, remained rare. In the 70 years following the graduation of the first African-American student in 1887, only 23 graduating classes included African-Americans, typically only one in each class. So in 1969, KU Law, like other law schools throughout the nation, began efforts to recruit minority students. The first class with a significant number of minority students entered in 1970. By 1973 there were 9 percent minority students in the entering class. The minority percentage gradually rose into the low teens and stayed there through the next four decades. The 2015 entering class included 15 percent racial minorities. The first African-American faculty member, Marilyn Ainsworth Yarbrough, joined us in 1977.

PRIVATE FUNDS

For the first century of KU Law’s existence, private funds played only a limited role. The state of Kansas was expected to provide funding for all the basics, and tuition costs were low. In 1971-72, for example, the total amount raised from private donors was only $24,038 ($138,616 in 2014 dollars). By the 1990s, the state had begun to reduce its contribution, and tuition costs rose dramatically. Private funding became increasingly vital, and scholarship assistance became essential if students were to avoid massive debt. Increasingly, deans have had to devote much of their time to fundraising, and with increasing success. Dean Stephen Mazza has achieved remarkable results,

MINORITY RECRUITING BUILDS ON OPEN ADMISSIONS POLICY THE SUMMER BEFORE Thomas Vaughn entered KU Law in 1975, he got his first homework assignment in the mail — not from a professor, but from the Black Law Students Association. “We were to brief a case and then discuss it at the first BLSA meeting,” said Vaughn, L’78. “I was like, ‘These guys really take this stuff seriously.’ They were determined to have successful students [of color].” Vaughn, who grew up attending segregated schools in Arkansas, recalls starting law school as one of nine African-American students in his class. At least six of those nine graduated and passed the bar, he said. “I had worked for IBM and been in the military. Being a minority in a majority setting didn’t pose challenges for me,” Vaughn said. “I had a good network of classmates, good relationships with professors, and good support from upperclassmen.” In fact, it was former BLSA president Louis Sturns, L’73, who

recommended that Vaughn consider KU Law in the first place. They met while stationed at Fort Hood, Texas — Sturns as an officer in the U.S. Army JAG Corps and Vaughn as an enlisted soldier. Sturns told Vaughn about KU Law’s efforts to increase minority enrollment and provide financial assistance to make legal education accessible to minority students. Vaughn eventually followed in Sturns’ footsteps as BLSA president and even served KU Law as a minority recruiter. He graduated with a joint degree in law and business, passed the bar exam and has operated a successful private practice in Chicago since then. Vaughn has also been a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Trustee since 1999. He remembers Martin Dickinson as formal, but fair. “We knew without him saying so that he recognized that KU ought to be graduating students to go into segments of society where we were underrepresented.” — Mindie Paget

BURNING BUILDINGS I arrived at the law school just in time to witness the turmoil of the late 1960s, related primarily to the Vietnam War and racial issues. The Kansas Union was burned and the computer center bombed. The National Guard patrolled campus, and law faculty slept overnight in Green Hall to assure its preservation. Student interest in political issues is less visible today, although there is great concern about the environment and sustainability. Many students express their ideals through volunteering rather than traditional political activity. STUDENTS There were 80 students in the 1967 entering class when I arrived at KU Law. The great majority came

straight from undergraduate work, primarily at KU. Other Kansas schools — especially Kansas State University — were well represented. There were a few military veterans. The 2015 entering class was far more diverse. The 126 new students came from 25 states and 73 undergraduate institutions. Their ages ranged from 19 to 48. Forty-eight percent were women, and 15 percent were minorities. Ten had prior graduate degrees. In 1967 there were only three student organizations — two legal fraternities and the Student Bar Association. Law Wives was very active. Intramural sports teams were an important outlet for student energy. The diversity of student interests is much greater today. In addition to the traditional Student Bar Association, there are 27 student organizations, ranging from the Sports and Entertainment Law Society to the St. Thomas More

RUSTY LEFFEL, L’73, was

a leading voice in Students Concerned for Higher Education in Kansas, a group of student leaders who advocated for higher education funding. In the early 1970s, student protests had soured the public’s perception of campus activism, and the Kansas Legislature cut university funding. Leffel’s group rallied students to demonstrate support for education through open communication, respectful dialogue and a commitment to the principles of a free and open society. KU still presents the Rusty Leffel Concerned Student Award annually to students who demonstrate concern for furthering the ideals of the university and higher education. “Law school helped us study, understand, research, present and advocate for all sides, knowing that the underpinning of

democracy is the ability to argue, discuss, and dialogue,” Leffel said. “People were mad at KU. Too many unfortunate things [were happening]: the union fire, the National Guard troops patrolling campus, faculty and students spending the night on campus, the shooting and bombing. We started seeing the Legislature cutting funding for KU. As students, we felt we had a stake in this. We needed to express our concern that higher education is important. So we did. “The quote on the Campanile reads, ‘Free government does not bestow repose upon its citizens, but sets them in the vanguard of battle to defend the liberty of every man.’ You have to always be on lookout to challenges to liberty. Examples will change every decade, new issues will come up, but that’s what law school teaches: tools for a lifetime of activism.” — Emily Sharp

Society. Intramural sports teams still exist but are much less visible. The homogeneity of the student body in 1967 produced a tight social cohesion. This was evident in the annual Fun Day gathering held in the spring at the farm of Professor Charles Oldfather. Everyone went. Today, few gatherings attract more than a small segment of the increasingly diverse student body. There are commuters and noncommuters, males and females, married and unmarried, parents and nonparents, diverse academic and political interests, many students with prior work experience, and a wide variety of ethnic, geographical and undergraduate backgrounds. It’s a rich blend. While overall social cohesion may be somewhat reduced, I have observed little or no friction among this wide array of students. Although competition for grades and jobs has become more intense in recent years, the relationship among students appears to remain positive. In my last class I took a confidential survey of my students, asking what they thought to be the best two characteristics of KU Law. The top aspects they named were a collegial, supportive atmosphere and a close-knit community. Approachable professors was a close third. An interesting development in recent years is student volunteering. Several student organizations raise funds and solicit gifts of food, clothing and toys for the underprivileged. The 2015 Thanksgiving food drive organized by the Black Law Students Association produced more than 7,150 food items for families in need, and volunteer tax students prepared 224 tax returns for low-income taxpayers in 2015.

in 2014. The broader curriculum provides greater opportunities for specialization. Today KU Law offers eight certificates, evidencing substantial coursework in a given field, ranging from advocacy to tax. KU Law remains one of the nation’s leaders in providing clinical opportunities for students. In 1967, there were four clinics or externships in which academic credit could be earned for law practice activities; today there are 12. In 1967, there was one jointdegree program — the combined MBA and J.D. Since 1967, KU Law has developed 10 more joint-degree programs that permit achievement of a J.D. and a master’s degree in a compressed time. The fields range from urban planning to health services administration. KU Law sent students to compete in only one moot court competition at the national level in 1967. Today KU Law students travel to participate in nine national moot court competitions, ranging from bankruptcy to sports law. The Kansas Law Review is now accompanied by a second journal — the Kansas Journal of Law & Public Policy. Interestingly, the courses required for graduation today are much the same as in 1967, except that Agency, Commercial Law, and Judicial

Remedies have dropped off the list. An innovative Lawyering course is now required in the first year, and students must complete upperclass courses emphasizing writing and professional skills.

GRADE INFLATION

Grade inflation began in the 1970s and quickly became endemic throughout higher education — including at KU Law. The median grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) for the 1967 graduating class was 2.45. For the 2015 graduating class, it was 3.17. KU Law now has a required grading curve for most classes that is intended to prevent further inflation.

COMPUTERS

Notebook computers are now ubiquitous in the classroom. The teacher faces an array of computer lids, with students hidden behind. I’m convinced that many students have become little more than stenographers, trying to record all that is said, but with little thought applied. I have real doubt that computers have enhanced learning. But there’s good news for teachers: Most students now prepare exam answers on their computers. It’s a delight for teachers compared to handwritten bluebooks.

TUITION

Annual tuition and fees for a Kansas resident in 1967 totaled $438 for an academic year ($3,096 in 2015 dollars). The 2014-15 tuition and fees for an academic year totaled $19,985. In constant dollars, tuition has increased more than six-fold. Since 1980, KU undergraduate tuition has increased by 8 percent annually, while inflation has increased by only 3.5 percent annually. Much of this increase is attributable to a dramatic reduction in the state’s role in funding higher education over the last 30 years. The tuition increase problem is not unique to KU. KU Law tuition for 2014-2015 was within $1,000 of the cost at Missouri, UMKC, Washburn and Oklahoma. Many other state schools were much higher. For example, Colorado resident tuition was $31,548, and Texas was $33,162. In fact, the National Jurist magazine has ranked KU Law the 18th Best Value Law School in the nation. Vigorous fundraising by Dean Mazza and his predecessors has provided scholarship funds that help offset the increased cost. Sixty-eight percent of the 2014 entering class received scholarship assistance.

STUDENT LOANS

Student loans were available in 1967, and the 1967-68 catalog asserted that “To date the Law School has been able to make at least $1,000 in loans available to each third-year student who needs to borrow.” ($1,000 in 1967 is equivalent to $7,096 today.) The dramatic escalation in tuition since then has made loans a way of life for most students. Eighty-two percent of 2014 graduates had student debt, with an average load (both undergraduate and law) of $74,890 at graduation. The KU Law situation is better than at other schools. U.S. News and World Report has ranked KU Law among the top 20 law schools in the nation for lowest average debt at graduation. Nationwide, student debt now exceeds $1.3 trillion. The dramatic expansion of student debt over the last 30 years is the most disturbing development I have witnessed during my 48 years in teaching. I believe there are three causes: (1) Most states have dramatically reduced the extent of their support for public higher education; (2) university administrators, realizing the availability of virtually unlimited resources from government-guaranteed loans, have raised tuition levels to “whatever the market will bear”; and (3) students, observing the comfortable circumstances of their baby boomer parents, now demand a higher standard of living. In 1967, summer jobs and modest assistance from parents permitted the vast majority of students to graduate debt free. Today, massive debt loads can impair graduates’ lives for many years. Student debt affects the jobs students can accept. It can defer family formation and the purchase

of homes. It discourages saving for retirement, much less saving to finance the education of the next generation. Most importantly, the debt problem signals to young people the demise of intergenerational responsibility. Americans have traditionally sacrificed to make life better for the next generation. I fear that casting this massive debt burden on our youth evidences abandonment of that responsibility.

JOBS

KU Law did not operate a placement office in the 1960s, and only a handful of employers conducted interviews at the law school. Today we employ three full-time personnel in our Career Services Office. During 2014-2015, 61 employers interviewed students at the law school, and 662 job openings were posted. In 1967 only a few students joined major firms in Kansas City, Missouri, and a few more went to large firms in other states. Placement was heavily centered in Kansas, with many students going to Wichita, Johnson County, and small and medium-size towns throughout the state. The great majority entered private practice or government work. In some respects, the placement pattern now is similar. Fifty-three percent of the 2014 class entered private practice, with another 24 percent opting for judicial clerkships, government work or public interest positions. Fifty-eight percent took jobs in Kansas, with another 22 percent accepting positions in Missouri, almost all in the Kansas City area. The rest scattered widely to 12 states.

18 KU LAW MAGAZINE

The KU Law presence is now much greater in the largest Kansas City firms. KU is now a major, and sometimes the principal, source of talent for firms that in 1967 hired almost entirely from the University of Missouri and Eastern schools, principally Michigan and Harvard.

INT’L STUDENTS, PROGRAMS

International involvement has expanded dramatically. In 1967, KU Law offered a single international law course and had no international students. Today there are 10 courses addressing international law or the law of foreign countries. Study abroad opportunities are available in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Turkey. In an effort to bring the world to KU Law, the school has created three degrees primarily for lawyers from foreign countries. In addition, the school welcomes visiting scholars from other lands. Last year, 24 foreign students and four visiting scholars studied in Green Hall. Countries currently represented are China, Korea, India, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Turkey, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Italy.

LAW LIBRARY

As one would expect, the change in the law library’s role has been revolutionary. In 1967, “retrieval” of legal materials involved only what we today call “hard copy” (printed books). Today computer retrieval has dramatically displaced much of traditional “hard copy” research. KU’s Wheat Law Library staff has responded to this revolution with imagination and foresight, enabling

both students and faculty to maximize computer retrieval opportunities. Another change was less visible but crucially important. When I became dean in 1971, the law library was not autonomous. Its budget and personnel were managed by the KU Libraries system. This was unusual among law schools, and KU Libraries administrators had difficulty understanding the crucial role the library plays in legal education. In 1973, with the very effective help of law librarian Bernard Reams, I was able to achieve autonomy for our law library so its budget and personnel would be controlled by KU Law.

FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP

Prior to the 1960s, KU Law did not have a strong scholarly tradition. That all changed with the talented young faculty that Dean James Logan and his successors brought to the school. By the early 1980s, our productive faculty was the envy of other schools. A national study of legal scholarship over the period 1980-1983 concluded that per capita scholarly production of full professors at KU Law ranked fourth in the nation behind only Chicago, Stanford and Harvard. Faculty productivity has remained high. During 2014 our faculty produced seven books and 54 articles and book chapters, while delivering more than 160 scholarly and professional presentations.

CONCLUSION

Since its founding 137 years ago, KU Law has granted 10,810 degrees. Seventy percent (7,547) of those degrees were granted during the 48-year period covered by this article. So the great majority of KU Law graduates have participated in the dramatic changes I’ve described. Over the last five decades, KU Law has demonstrated an impressive capacity to respond to changes in Kansas, the nation, the world and the legal profession while continuing to honor its rich tradition.

Nobody thought higher of KU Law than Mike Davis, and no one gave their career more. I don’t think there’s anyone over the years who I feel was more influential at KU Law. This comes about by being an advocate for what you’re doing. We’re now seeing our rankings, acceptance rate into law firms, wages — all have increased dramatically just in the last 10 years.

MARTIN DICKINSON | Robert A. Schroeder Distinguished

Professor Emeritus of Law On faculty 1967-2015 | Dean 1971-1980 Professor Dickinson’s breadth and depth of knowledge and experience, coupled with his dedication to teaching, are the roots of his legacy. He stressed that our learning didn’t begin and end in school. He enthusiastically jumped in to guide my independent research on a specific part of the tax code that we covered in one class session — charitable split interest gifts — because he said he didn’t know enough about them and would like to. I made my entire career out of specializing in that area of tax law. I don’t know if I would have had the confidence to follow this path, which at the time was rather uncommon, without his support and encouragement. That is just who he is.” — Barbara Melbourne, L’88, Bettendorf, Iowa, Vice President of Development, Community Foundation of the Great River Bend

SANDRA CRAIG MCKENZIE | Professor Emeritus of Law On faculty 1979-2015 | Director, Elder Law LL.M. Program Professor McKenzie was among the first female professors at KU Law. That alone is a legacy to be proud of, but she has done so much more. Her legacy includes her dedicated work for women in the law and her leadership on equal rights and safe space for LGBTQ students at Green Hall. She consistently provided classroom experiences grounded in practical application, a community space that was safe for all students, and she fostered a collegial atmosphere for students to grow and learn how to self-advocate, never wavering in her dedication to equity and justice.” — Lindsey Collins, L’14, Kansas City, Missouri, Elizabeth M.

In the news FACULTY EXPERTS “That kind of threat to the independence of the judiciary strikes me as invalid under the separation of powers principle.” Professor Richard Levy provided constitutional analysis in the New York Times of a bill signed by Gov. Sam Brownback that would defund state courts if they struck down a 2014 law that removed some powers from the State Supreme Court.

“It’s a myth that either the Trans-Pacific Partnership or the Export-Import Bank are engaged in free trade.” Professor Raj Bhala offered expertise in ongoing coverage by international news agency Sputnik of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade pact being negotiated in unusual secrecy between the United States and 12 Asian and Pacific Rim nations.

“On the other hand, what actually happens in consumer class action litigation is it often has a lot of costs to businesses and doesn’t seem to yield much benefit to consumers at least in terms of payout.” Professor Stephen Ware was quoted in a Wall Street Journal article about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s proposal to give borrowers more rights to sue banks and credit card companies.

“It’s unfortunate they had to go through a legal battle to get the state to do what, realistically, they should have done in the first place. My clients are happy that both of their names are going to be on their child’s birth certificate.” Adjunct Professor David Brown spoke with Kansas Public Radio about a case in which the Kansas Department of Health and Environment initially declined to list two women as parents on a birth certificate, despite a law allowing the practice for children born through artificial insemination.

ADVOCACY

Law professor argues twice in one week before SCOTUS A UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAW PROFESSOR ARGUED before the U.S. Supreme Court twice in one week in a pair of cases: one involving the Eighth Amendment and capital punishment, and the other alleged discrimination in banking. Stephen McAllister, the E.S. & Tom W. Hampton Distinguished Professor of Law, appeared before the court Oct. 5 in the case Hawkins v. Community Bank of Raymore. On Oct. 7, he appeared on behalf of the state of Kansas in Kansas v. Jonathan Carr and Kansas v. Reginald Carr Jr. The arguments marked his eighth and ninth appearances before the high court. The banking case is a test of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, designed to prevent discrimination in lending against women based on gender, marital status and other factors. The Carr case is centered on brothers Jonathan and Reginald Carr, who were convicted of capital murder for brutal quadruple murders they committed in Wichita in December of 2000. They were sentenced to death, but the Kansas Supreme Court overturned their sentences in 2014, holding both that the jury instructions in the Carrs’ sentencing were inadequate and they should not have been tried jointly in the same proceeding. McAllister said that while two appearances before the court in three days may be unusual, the opportunity provides both unique professional experience and invaluable teaching material he can bring to his classes. — Mike Krings

RESEARCH

Indigenous knowledge can be key to fighting climate change WHILE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES HAVE DEVELOPED knowledge over centuries to manage their lands and adapt to challenges such as rising sea levels or wildfires, they are still deeply affected by climate change. Two University of Kansas professors have authored research exploring cases of indigenous communities that have had success in applying traditional knowledge to fighting climate change and how American and international law falls short in preventing exploitation of those tribes and methods. Elizabeth Kronk Warner, professor and director of the Tribal Law and Government Center at the School of Law, and Joseph Brewer II, assistant professor in environmental studies, have published a working paper, “Guarding Against Exploitation: Protecting Indigenous Knowledge in the Age of Climate Change.” The study shares examples of tribes that have developed knowledge of how to ameliorate drastic effects of climate change on their

native lands as well as indigenous communities that have developed their own laws governing how their traditional knowledge can be used outside of their communities. “The inspiration for this article was everyone would talk aspirationally about how we should be using traditional knowledge to help fight climate change, but none of us knew exactly how to do that,” Kronk Warner said. “Unfortunately, we came to the conclusion there really isn’t a good legal remedy in the existing categories of intellectual property law to protect traditional knowledge.” — Mike Krings

RESEARCH

Legal system should help citizen innovation survive and thrive THE TIME HAS COME FOR A PHILOSOPHICAL CHANGE in the way the American legal system, government and private business view innovations created by private citizens, a KU Law professor argues in a new law review article. Andrew Torrance, Earl B. Shurtz Research Professor at KU Law and visiting scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management, and his colleague, Eric von Hippel, T. Wilson Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, have co-authored “The Right to Innovate,” a Michigan State Law Review article that offers three approaches to protecting “citizen innovators” and their right to engage in noncommercial innovation to satisfy their own needs and to share their innovations freely for the betterment of society. Citizen innovators often abandon inventing when faced with governmental scrutiny or legal action because they are either unaware of their rights or lack the resources to hire

attorneys to defend them. To combat this chilling effect, the authors include a “toolkit” for innovators to help them understand their rights. “The fact that innovation is coming from new sources is wonderful for society,” Torrance said. “But the legal system is better at crushing citizen innovation than fostering and protecting it. What Eric and I are concerned about is that, if you don’t recognize this vital source of innovation, and protect it from overregulation and overzealous application of intellectual property, you risk destroying it.” “We need to celebrate these valuable amenities and enlist the law to ensure they survive and thrive.” — Mike Krings

Textbook’s tenaciously non-Western approach reflects world in which law students will practice Euro-centric or Washington insider-centric book. The reason is the non-Western world is the one in which our students will be practicing.”

RAJ BHALA, ONE OF THE WORLD’S FOREMOST EXPERTS in international trade law, has authored the 4th edition of “International Trade Law: An Interdisciplinary, NonWestern Textbook.” First published in 1996, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the field. “Since 1996, which was just after NAFTA and the World Trade Organization were born, the field of international trade law has greatly broadened and deepened. The broadening has come in that the field is now viewed at two levels, both theoretical and practical. The deepening is largely because of the proliferation of items put on the international trade agenda,” said Bhala, associate dean for international and comparative law and the Rice Distinguished Professor at KU Law. “In choosing cases and illustrations, the book is tenacious in using non-Western examples,” Bhala said. “It’s not a

Professor demystifies federal civil jurisdiction in ‘Nutshell’ book A KU LAW PROFESSOR’S NEWEST BOOK ATTEMPTS TO simplify one of the most challenging topics covered in a standard first-year civil procedure course: subject matter jurisdiction of federal courts. Lou Mulligan’s “Federal Civil Jurisdiction” (2015) is part of West Academic’s “In a Nutshell Series.” Although the volume is aimed primarily at students studying civil procedure, it could also be of value for students in other courses covering topics such as federal courts, complex litigation and civil rights. The book is also intended to provide practitioners with a refresher on the basics of federal civil jurisdiction. “Because jurisdiction brings to the fore complex issues of constitutional law, federalism principles and tactical

advantage, students often find it a challenging topic,” said Mulligan, professor of law. “This book aims to help students digest this material by use of charts, examples and decision trees, which render the material more accessible without glossing over key aspects of the analysis.” This marks Mulligan’s third book. He is the sole active author of “Kansas Civil Jury Instruction Companion Handbook” and a co-author of “Kansas Code of Civil Procedure, Annotated.” — Mindie Paget

NEW HIRES

Nationally recognized nonprofit law expert joins KU Law faculty ONE OF THE NATION’S leading authorities on nonprofit law has joined the KU Law faculty as the Professor from Practice. Bruce R. Hopkins, who has published more than 30 books in the field, will teach courses including Nonprofit and Tax-Exempt Organizations. “I care very much about the role of nonprofit organizations, particularly charities, in U.S. society and try to pass along some of that passion in the classroom,” Hopkins said. “Lawyers, including young ones, have a tendency to serve on nonprofit boards. I want to instill in the students not only nonprofit law basics but a sense of the importance of this type of service.” Early in his practice, Hopkins began teaching nonprofit law as an adjunct professor at George Washington University and authored the first book on the subject. After working at large firms in Washington, D.C., he joined a small firm to free up more time to write and speak. He started what is now the second longest-running national conference in the field and has written a monthly newsletter for 32 years. Most recently, Hopkins practiced for nearly two decades at Polsinelli PC in Kansas City, Missouri, where he helped build a substantial nonprofit law practice group. “I come from a family of teachers. I wanted to be a lawyer, but apparently some teaching genes came my way. The areas of tax law that I teach are rather complex, and I enjoy the challenge of presenting the material in a way the students can understand,” Hopkins said. “I also enjoy being at the KU law school. The more I am here, the more I want of the experience.” — Mindie Paget

Honors FACULTY KUDOS Outka honored with sustainability leadership award, interdisciplinary starter grant Professor Uma Outka received two awards for her commitment to sustainability and research on climate change mitigation, renewable energy and fossil fuels. KU’s Center for Sustainability recognized Outka with a Sustainability Leadership Award, highlighting leadership and creativity in addressing environmental, economic and social responsibility issues on campus and in the community. Along with colleagues in the School of Architecture and School of Public Affairs and Administration, Outka received a $10,000 interdisciplinary grant from The Commons to explore how local energy transitions can make communities more accessible and equitable. Outka and her colleagues plan to organize a symposium and develop a research team to produce a written work exploring local energy transitions and social justice.

“When I was at KU Law, I was working three jobs and finished law school in two years instead of three. Travel was not an option. I’ve done a lot of traveling since then, though, and I know Mike believes strongly in the value of studying abroad. We thought this fund would be the best way to show the important role Mike played in my life.” Douglas Wheat, L’74, Westlake, Texas $100,000 to establish the Professor Michael Davis Legal Study Abroad Fund with his wife, Laura

“When Larry became sick, he thought it was important to start his own fund. I wanted to continue with his wishes, so I am funding an endowment in Larry’s name. If my sons and I can help a student stay in school and be less in debt, we will be glad.” Janet O’Neal, Leawood, Kansas $35,000 pledge to create the Larry O’Neal Law Scholarship Fund in memory of her late husband, Larry O’Neal, L’72
