professionalism . . . We seek to help our students develop the professional skills and the
character and values
necessary to fulfill the
role of a lawyer as a representative of clients, an officer of the legal system, and a public citizen with special responsibility for the quality of justice.
At UM Law we strive to instill the core value of professionalism starting with the first day of class when each student takes the law student oath. The process continues as an integral component of our innovative curriculum and is modeled by many members of the State Bar of Montana through their active involvement with the School. Professionalism is also modeled by the many national leaders who visit our students each year. Last year was no exception. UM Law was proud to host: American Bar Association President Wm. T. (Bill) Robinson III; Robert S. Bennett, Hon. JD ‘10; Professor Pamela Karlan, co-director, Stanford Supreme Court Litigation Clinic; and Roberta Cooper Ramo, President, American Law Institute and past President of the American Bar Association.

The University honored two of the Law School’s alumni who embody the value of professionalism, U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, JD ‘57 who received a Distinguished Alumnus Award and R.H. “Ty” Robinson, JD ‘48 who received the Neil S. Bucklew Presidential Service Award from the UM Foundation.
We endeavor to inculcate in our students an understanding of the law, the role of the law and lawyers in society and the duty of lawyers to
promote justice
and to uphold the principles of honesty, integrity, and civility.

excellence We strive for excellence in our
teaching, learning, scholarship and service.
Excellence is part of the UM Law tradition and one of our core values. Throughout the School’s history, it has been our emphasis on excellence that has distinguished UM Law. The School sponsored an impressive roster of guests last year including Eric H. Holder, Jr., United States Attorney General, and retired United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. UM Law hosted oral arguments for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Montana Supreme Court. Additional highlights of the past year include:
Teaching: A distinguished faculty of national tax experts, including
our own Professors J. Martin Burke, E. Edwin Eck, Elaine Hightower Gagliardi and Kristin Juras who addressed important developments in income, estate and gift tax planning.
Learning: Students at UM Law receive not only a rigorous legal
education, each is mentored by an accomplished judge, practitioner, or faculty member while serving the State of Montana and garnering practical, hands-on experience in one of our twenty-three clinics. The Montana Trial Team and the Moot Court Team both won their regional championships and went on to compete at nationals. Two students competed at the National Animal Law Competition at Harvard Law School and finished in the top four.
Scholarship: UM Law’s clinical program continues to be a nationally
recognized program. The 2011 mid-years American Association of Law Schools conference in Seattle, clinical Professors Maylinn Smith, Jordan Gross, Michelle Bryan Mudd, and Eduardo Capulong gave a joint presentation, “Content and Context in the Big Sky: How Native, Rural, and Other Socio-Economic Issues Inform Understanding of Client Problems.” Regents Professor J. Martin Burke and Hon. Sidney R. Thomas share a moment along the John M. Dietrich South Deck following a hearing of the United States Court of Apppeals for the Ninth Circuit on September 1, 2011.

Service: UM Law continues to serve the practicing bar. The Tax Institute
held its 59th session in 2011 featuring a distinguished faculty of national tax experts, including our own Professors J. Martin Burke, E. Edwing Eck, Elaine Hightower Gagliardi and Kristin Juras who addressed important developments in income, estate and gift tax planning.
United States Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. 2011 Jones Tamm Lecture February 9, 2011
“For the last one hundred years, this school has been a place of learning and contribution, of practical application, as well as intellectual rigor, of public-policy study and of public service opportunities. I am pleased that your school practices a philosophy of ‘people-oriented law,’ and ensures so many clinical opportunities. Given the culture of cooperation – not competition – that has come to define this campus, I trust that your next century will be marked by exponential progress – and the caliber of achievement that has defined its first 100 years.” — Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr., Jones Tamm Lecture The University of Montana School of Law, February 8, 2011

The 2011 Jestrab Lecture in Water Law, generously endowed by Frank & Elvira Jestrab, was presented by Professor Tony Arnold, Chair of the Center for Land Use & Environmental Responsibility University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law. Professor Arnold spoke on Adaptive Watershed Planning & Climate Change.
he history of UM Law is rooted in the unique landscape of the American west which shapes the legal issues confronting our region. The School’s first curriculum in 1911 required trial practice, mining, and irrigation law. Today we offer courses in land use, environmental, oil & gas, and Indian Law.
The Environmental Law Program, the Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Policy, also sponsored a variety of lectures on new developments and innovative approaches to natural resource law including the 2011 H.D. Hampton History Lecture with Professor Michael Gerrard, Director of the Center for Climate Change, Columbia Law School. Professor Gerrard spoke on Climate Change and the Law.
UM Law was the first law school to open an American Indian Law clinic founded in 1981. In 2011, the new space for the clinic was dedicated to former acting dean and professor Margery Hunter Brown who served as the clinic’s founding director. This program offers a certificate in American Indian Law and attracts native and non-native students from around the country. Each year, the Environmental Law program hosts cutting-edge lectures, including the Public Land and Resources Law Review (PLRLR) Conference. In 2011keynote speaker was acclaimed scholar Professor Charles Wilkinson of the University of Colorado Law School. PLRLR remains the only law review in the country dedicated to public land law. UM Law offers a certificate program in Environmental and Natural Resources Law. -10-
We endeavor to prepare our students to succeed in the people-oriented practice of law by integrating
theory, practice, and values in
a competency-based curriculum that integrates legal analysis, writing, professionalism and practice skills.
UM Law continues to be a national leader in curriculum development. Our skills-based approach is integrated into the curriculum at every level, from the unique Law Firm program to combining skills-based and substantive classes. As the center for legal scholarship in Montana, the School maintains a long tradition of training leaders for the state of Montana, the region and the country. Graduates include two sitting Federal Circuit Court judges; six federal district court judges; three justices of the Montana Supreme Court; and the current Montana State Superintendant of Public Instruction.

Our Partnership for the Next Century of Service As UM Law enters its Second Century of Service, the School is expanding beyond its strong core curriculum and broadening its reach to keep pace with the changing demands of practice in a global economy. In addition to training in the traditional subjects, students in the twenty-first century must possess an understanding of business entities and how global transactions impact the American West.
Preparing for a Global Century Our growing international reach includes a study abroad program in China offered in association with Gonzaga University School of Law, the University of South Dakota School of Law, and the Law Schools at the China Youth University for Political Sciences (CYUPS) in Beijing, the Guizhou University of Finance and Economics (GUFE) in Guiyang, and the Southwest University of Political Science and Law (SWUPL) in Chongqing. Students spend six weeks in China learning about international law and the Chinese legal system. UM Law is also exploring the addition of a study abroad program in Ireland. These endeavors are aimed at preparing students to compete in today’s increasingly global business and legal communities.
Centennial Scholarship Initiative While we are proud to be recognized as one of the top 40 “Best Value” law schools in America, we recognize that the cost of a legal education places an increasing burden on students. To ensure that access to legal education is not limited to those with financial means, we recognize we must renew our investment in scholarships. This year, we launched the Centennial Scholarship Initiative in an effort to provide additional funding to meet student needs. Our five year goal is to double the amount of scholarship aid we provide.
-14-
Enhancing UM Law’s Unique Offerings Today, two of our certificate programs reflect our western heritage: Environment and Natural Resources and American Indian Law. Over one half of our students come to UM Law because of its environment and natural resources curriculum. We seek to provide further financial support for these important programs, including a new, groundbreaking American Indian Leaders Program. These programs enhance our existing strong practical skills components and produce lawyers trained in areas of law unique to our region.
