LAW NOTES fall 2016

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN At the start of the new academic year, UK Law welcomed the Class of 2019. The class is one of the college’s largest in its’ 108-year history and is made up of 179 exceptionally strong first-year law students. I hope you feel as I do, that this unexpected but wonderful news indicates that UK Law is reaping the benefits of a great reputation for quality and value. This leads me to share some exciting news. In recent rankings released by The National Jurist, UK Law climbed to an all-time high as the No. 2 Best Value Law School in the nation. The excitement for students, faculty, and alumni at our college doesn’t stop there. The university recently announced the establishment of a national, nonpartisan federal judicial initiative at the university in honor of the trailblazing U.S. Senior District Judge John G. Heyburn II. The Heyburn Initiative for Excellence in the Federal Judiciary is a partnership with UK Law and UK Libraries that will establish an archives and oral history program for Kentucky’s federal judges and a national lecture series on relevant judicial topics. It also will play host to federal judicial conferences. In other news, our world-class, accessible faculty continue to thrive. Some recent and notable accomplishments include: Nicole Huberfeld publishing the first new health care law casebook in a generation; Richard Underwood publishing Crimesong, a new book about the true crimes behind Southern murder ballads; and various faculty members, including Joshua Douglas, Sarah Welling, Mary Davis, and Richard Ausness, discussing law research on the university’s research blog through podcasts. It was a pleasure to see alumni this fall celebrating their class reunions at Castle Post, mingling at the Homecoming Tailgate before the Cats took on the Commodores, and attending the annual reception honoring Bob Lawson Society and Lafferty Society members at 21C Museum Hotel. I hope you will join us for the Champions Classic Alumni Reception, taking place November 15 in New York City. As always, I hope this newsletter finds you and your loved ones well. David A. Brennen Dean and Professor of Law

REACHING NEW HEIGHTS: UK LAW RANKED NO. 2 BEST VALUE LAW SCHOOL IN THE NATION A degree from the University of Kentucky College of Law is one of the best values in the nation, according to The National Jurist, who has ranked UK Law No. 2 on its list of Best Value Law Schools for 2016. In the annual rankings released in the fall issue of preLaw magazine, UK Law climbed to an all-time high at No. 2, steps up from last year’s No. 4 ranking. This is the college’s ninth consecutive year being included in the “Top 20” and fifth consecutive year in the top 10. In addition, out of the top 58 law schools, only nineteen shared an “A+” grade with UK Law. “It’s truly an honor to be recognized on a national level again by this annual accolade,” said David A. Brennen, Dean at UK College of Law. “UK Law has risen to a new level of accomplishment – one in which we are immensely proud.” The National Jurist has ranked “Best Value” law schools for the past ten years, offering prospective students a different viewpoint. But exactly how does The National Jurist decide who comes out on top? According to the publication, the rankings are “designed to find the law schools where graduates have excellent chances of passing the bar and getting a legal job without taking on a ton of debt.” The formula used in the calculation is weighted accordingly: Employment rate – 35%, tuition – 25%, average indebtedness upon graduation – 15%, graduates who pass the bar exam – 15%, and cost of living – 10%. “This ranking confirms that UK Law continues to prevail in key areas, including employment rate, affordability, and debt load of graduates. We are committed to preparing our students for life after law school – opening doors to opportunities both within and outside the traditional practice of law,” said Dean Brennen. UK Law students traditionally achieve the state’s highest bar examination passage rate, and employment numbers for the school have remained strong over the years. The National Jurist reports that UK Law graduates carry an average debt of $77,793, while resident tuition was $21,618 for the 2015-16 academic year. To see a complete list of rankings, click here.

WOMEN’S LAW CAUCUS

LAUNCHES NEW LECTURE SERIES The University of Kentucky College of Law Women’s Law Caucus (WLC) hosted the Honorable Pamela Goodwine (UK Law ’94) on September 20, as the first speaker of a new lecture series entitled, “Inspirational Women in the Law.” The idea for the lecture series is credited to Allie Vaughan Miller, a third-year law student and WLC Education Chair. Through the series, WLC hopes to provide students with access to prominent women attorneys and judges who can serve as an inspiration to both young women and men entering the legal profession. The first lecture did not disappoint. Judge Goodwine shared with UK Law students her incredible life story and experience on the bench. Those in attendance quickly learned that her path to success was not an easy one. After the passing of the two most important people in her life, her parents, she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Her life-threatening health issues eventually led to a procedure to remove her colon. When Judge Goodwine left the hospital, the likelihood of ever working again was slim to none. But, against all odds, she recovered, and in 1991 she received her undergraduate degree in management from UK. She went on to receive her J.D. from UK Law in 1994, and following graduation, joined the firm of Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs in Lexington, Kentucky. Many questioned her decision to join a firm with no AfricanAmerican attorneys. Her response: “Maybe I will open the door for others, not only for women but for minorities.” Everyone believed the Youngstown, Ohio native would one day lose sight of her vision to wear a black robe. But in 1999, she became the first African-American female judge in Fayette County through an appointment, then subsequent election, as a district judge. In 2003, she was elected a circuit judge in Fayette County, a role she has held for 14 years. “I love my job and I love the impact I have on the circuit court bench,” said Judge Goodwine. After sharing her story, she answered questions from students and encouraged the next generation of lawyers to be prompt, be professional, and be prepared – three qualities she says are on the decline. “If you remember the three p’s and the Optimist Creed, you’ll all have very promising careers,” said Judge Goodwine as she ended the lecture. “Judge Goodwine was a perfect fit for our very first speaker in the WLC ‘Inspirational Women in the Law’ Lecture Series,” said Brittany Crouch, third-year law student and President of WLC. “It was great for both our students and members to hear a local judge and UK Law graduate candidly discuss the personal hurdles she encountered on the way to achieving her lifelong dream of becoming a judge. I think her discussion today proved to be a very real and vivid reminder that you can accomplish so much if you believe in yourself and work hard for your goals.”

Professor Publishes New Book, Gives Inside Look at True Crimes Behind American Ballads Richard H. Underwood, the William L. Matthews, Jr. Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law, has published a new book, CrimeSong: True Crime Stories From Southern Murder Ballads. The 328-page book plunges readers into the riveting true crimes behind 24 Southern murder ballads. Professor Underwood began teaching at the UK in 1980. He has taught a variety of courses, including Evidence, Scientific and Forensic Evidence, Litigation Skills (Trial Advocacy), Civil Procedure, Federal Courts, Insurance Law, Remedies, Law and Medicine, Bioethics, and Professional Responsibility. CrimeSong brings to life a series of stories filled with jump-off-the-page real and memorable characters, shadowy

history, courtroom dramas, murders, mayhem and music. Professor Underwood presents his case studies, documented through contemporary news accounts and court records, which show universal themes of love, betrayal, jealousy, and madness through truelife tales that are both terrifying and familiar. “I am excited about the book,” said Professor Underwood. “It is different. It’s not a law book, strictly speaking, but there is a lot of evidence and trial law in it. It is about murder ballads, but from a lawyer’s perspective!” The idea for CrimeSong came from an article Professor Underwood wrote years ago with research help from the late Carol Paris, a former UK Law Librarian. He dedicates this book to her.

“I had written some of the material for CrimeSong in article form before, and the research was in one of my many stacks on the floor of my office – and at home. I felt like it was finally time to turn the stacks into books,” he said. What’s next? Professor Underwood currently has two additional books in the production process – one about lawyers and criminal trials in the Guilded Age in New York City, the other about an old murder in Connecticut. He is in the middle of finishing a fourth book, about perjury, that he has been working on for years. CrimeSong: True Crime Stories From Southern Murder Ballads is available for purchase through Shadelandhouse Modern Press, LLC at http:// smpbooks.com/.


UK LAW PROFESSOR PUBLISHES FIRST NEW HEALTH CARE LAW CASEBOOK IN A GENERATION Nicole Huberfeld, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Ashland-Spears Distinguished Research Professor of Law, along with co-authors Kevin Outterson and Elizabeth Weeks, has published a new book, The Law of American Health Care. The book’s focus is on the needs of students who want to practice health care law in a post-ACA (Affordable Care Act) world, whether in law firms, government, inhouse, or making policy.

the sources on which a health care lawyer relies: statutes, regulations, sub-regulatory authority, peer-reviewed health policy publications, and important judicial decisions. Both professors and students can benefit from the use of primary sources, which are the true focal point of the book. The book also modernizes the study of health care law by using text boxes with notes that highlight key lessons or that help to explain or enhance the material.

At its inception, health care law was primarily state-based common law, rooted in “Law and Medicine,” the original term for the field. The Law of American Healthcare is the first health care law casebook to consider federal law as the baseline, as opposed to state law or common law. The reading is not limited to case law – students learn from the full spectrum of

“This innovative approach is appreciated by the current generation of students who are steeped in interactive educational and social formats,” said Professor Huberfeld.

they have included directed questions and hypothetical problems to immediately engage a primary source, as well as capstone problems at the end of each chapter. In order to create a streamlined casebook, the authors chose topics selectively, drawing on guidance from American Health Lawyers Association curriculum recommendations, and engaged the selected topics in depth so students emerge with an understanding of the most important features of American health care law prepared to practice. The Law of American Health Care is available for purchase on Amazon.

Professor Huberfeld and her co-authors have eliminated the notes after cases, knowing that many students do not read them, find them confusing, or both. Instead,

UK ANNOUNCES ESTABLISHMENT OF

THE HEYBURN INITIATIVE BY JAY BLANTON

University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Dr. Martha K. Heyburn on Oct. 10 announced the establishment of a national, nonpartisan federal judicial initiative at the university in honor of the trailblazing U.S. Senior District Judge John G. Heyburn II. The Heyburn Initiative for Excellence in the Federal Judiciary, in partnership with the UK College of Law and UK Libraries, will establish an archives and oral history program for Kentucky’s federal judges and a national lecture series on relevant judicial topics. It also will play host to federal judicial conferences. “The John G. Heyburn Initiative for Judicial Excellence is a perfect tribute to my friend,” Sen. McConnell said. “John was kind, he was thoughtful, he was principled — and the Heyburn Initiative will remind us that these virtues count both on the bench and in life. Dedicated to the preservation and study of judicial history in Kentucky, I look forward to the Heyburn Initiative becoming an integral part of Kentucky’s judicial

community and a national focal point and destination for all students of our legal system.” Based on the recommendation of Sen. McConnell, President George H.W. Bush appointed Judge Heyburn to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky in 1992. He served as chief judge in the Western District of Kentucky from 2001 to 2008. Heyburn’s opinions on same-sex marriage are well known: He struck down Kentucky’s ban on same-sex marriage and the state’s refusal to honor such marriages from other states, ruling that both violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. He died on April 29, 2015, at age 66 of cancer. UK officials said the Heyburn Initiative will be unique in the nation, enhancing the public’s understanding of the third branch and how the three branches of government — executive, legislative and judicial — interact. UK and the College of Law will establish a lecture series to annually bring speakers to address current issues facing the judiciary.

UK and the College of Law also will work with the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and the Federal Judicial Center to host conferences and training sessions for the federal judiciary’s judges, administrators and staff. By focusing on timely legal issues and providing seminars of exceptional quality, the Heyburn Initiative will be distinguished as the leading resource to improve the quality of the judiciary. The initiative will seek to create a complete history of all Kentuckians who serve or have served in the federal judiciary, with archives and oral histories managed by UK Libraries. The material is to be made publicly available online. No independent or university-based center currently offers these unique components, UK officials said. An independent advisory board will be created to support the Heyburn Initiative. Funding to support the Heyburn Initiative will be raised and managed by the Community Foundation of Louisville.
