Dear KU Law Alum,

On July 17, after more than five months, I finally relinquished my title as “Dean Designate” and became dean at KU Law. The University archivists tell us I am the fourteenth and first woman dean of the Law School. Certainly I am among the most fortunate, having joined the Law School at such an exciting time in its history.

I was pleased to attend the spring hooding ceremony as the members of the Class of 2006 said good-bye to their student days. They were quite an impressive group. Their student achievements included top performances in interschool moot court competitions, a wide array of pro bono activities, and national recognition as student leaders. Thirteen of them had accepted judicial clerkships prior to graduation. Others had accepted jobs with top quality public and private employers in cities such as Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Omaha, Phoenix, Seattle, Tulsa and Washington, D.C., as well as closer to home in Kansas and Missouri.

The first few weeks of my deanship were busy ones. We were fortunate to persuade Professor David Gottlieb to take on a newly created role as Associate Dean for Clinical Programs. His responsibilities will include the first-year Lawyering program as well as our externship and clinical programs. We look forward to his leadership to make these already strong programs even better. We are joined by Professor Radha Pathak who visits us from Whittier Law School. She is teaching courses in civil procedure and evidence. We welcomed a new assistant director of admissions, Jacqlene Nance, a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina Law School, where she served as president of the Student Bar Association. Her task is to expand the number of schools and geographic reach of our student recruitment activities. Kevin Kelly, class of 1989, joins us in a newly created role as director of outreach activities. Shortly before my arrival, the law school bid a fond farewell to Karla Williams, our budget director. We were delighted to welcome Cheryl Saladin as she takes on that role. I hope you will soon have an opportunity to meet Barbara (Barb) Menke, my new administrative assistant, who works hard to keep me organized and on task.

On August 14, I officially welcomed my first class at KU Law, the 160 members of the Class of 2009. They hail from sixteen states and three foreign countries; seventy-two percent of them are Kansas residents. Twenty have other graduate degrees. Their personal essays reveal that they have ridden camels in Timbuktu, slept in huts on the Botswana plains, and battled storms with Mozambican fisherman in the Indian Ocean. They have run marathons here and abroad, competed in Olympic team trials, and performed at the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. They have written two copyrighted full length works of original music and three feature length original screenplays. In their number are students fluent in Bosnian, French, German, Spanish, Hindi, Gujarati, Swahili, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, and Farsi. And, they have already exemplified the highest ideals of our shared profession – service, courage, and integrity – as Peace Corps volunteers, national and international relief workers, and in military service. We expect great things from them.

The academic year was off to a great start when, on the first day of classes, Professor Bill Westerbeke received a Kemper Award for excellence in teaching and student advising. Professor John Head has received this year’s Provost’s Award for Excellence in International Education. Former dean Steve McAllister was selected as one of four faculty liaisons to the Dole Institute and coordinated a series of jointly sponsored events to commemorate Constitution Day. Professors Chris Drahozal and Steve Ware hosted the Midwestern Law and Economics Association on October 20 and 21. The annual Tribal Law and Government Conference, led by Professor Stacy Leeds, was held on October 27 and 28. And, on November 10, the law school welcomed scholars and policymakers from across the state and the country to the Kansas Law Review symposium, The Massachusetts Plan and the Future of Universal Coverage. In the fall semester, we hosted seventy-eight employers during the on-campus interview program. We would be happy to add your firm to that number in the spring or next year.

I am excited and honored to be the dean and a member of the faculty at KU Law. I look forward to meeting many of you during my travels around the country. If you are in Lawrence, I invite you to come visit me at Green Hall. Your teachers and I will be delighted to welcome you home.

Women In LawOne of the many things that attracted Gail Agrawal to the KU School

of Law was a high level of commitment shown by law alumni as well as

by administrators, something she believes “will be essential if KU Law is

to have a strong future.”

Gail B. Agrawal, formerly a law professor and interim dean at the

University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, is the 14th dean in the

school’s history and its first female dean. Agrawal succeeds Michael J.

Davis, interim dean in 2005-2006.

“KU is a public law school that takes its public mission seriously – to

provide a first-rate legal education that is accessible and affordable to

its students. This is a mission I embrace,” Agrawal says. “KU Law has

a great faculty committed to excellence in classroom teaching with

an ambitious scholarly agenda as well. It values its role in the larger

academy, as well as its role as a professional school with a deep and

continuing obligation to the practicing bar and bench. I share those

values and that vision.”

Agrawal says she plans to spend much of the first part of this academic

year asking questions and learning from the faculty, the current

students, and the alumni about their views on what KU Law is doing

3The University of Kansas

well and what it should do better. “I view my job as law dean as creating

with the faculty and students a vibrant intellectual community for the

creation and exchange of ideas and knowledge about the law.”

KU’s newest dean is a native of New Orleans who earned a bachelor of

arts degree in sociology at the University of New Orleans, and a master’s

degree in health administration and a law degree from Tulane University.

Following law school, she served as a law clerk to Senior Judge John Minor

Wisdom on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and

as a law clerk to former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

Agrawal practiced health law as a member of the New Orleans law firm

of Monroe and Lemann, and later spent three years in the law department

of Aetna Inc., where she provided counsel to Aetna’s health businesses.

She has taught as an adjunct professor at Tulane Law School and Tulane

School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and served as the W. M.

Keck Visiting Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School.

A member of the American Law Institute, Agrawal has served on the

boards of the American Health Lawyers Association and the American

Liver Foundation. She is currently a member of the federal advisory

committee on Organ Transplantation, and her research interests are

health care delivery and financing, and medical ethics.

U.S. Rep Jerry Moran, R-Kan., a KU law school graduate who served on

the search committee, said, “The law school has an important mission

within the walls of Green Hall as well as the borders of Kansas. The Dean

Search Committee was presented with the task of narrowing many high-

caliber candidates, and the Provost has chosen the best of the best. I am

excited about the future of the school under Dean Agrawal’s leadership,

and I join my fellow alumni in welcoming her.”

“She emerged as the clear first choice from the strongest field of

candidates in my 35 years at the school,” said interim dean Michael J.

Davis. “That field was itself a tribute to KU Law, as first-rate administrators

from fine places expressed interest in being our dean. In the end, though,

it was a nice marriage of mutual admiration that induced KU to offer her

the job, and Dean Agrawal to accept it. I hope you have the chance to

meet her soon. I am confident you will like what you see.”

WOMEN IN LAW: WHAt

MOtIvAtED yOu tO ENtER tHE

LEGAL pROFEssION?

DEAN AGRAWAL: When I was a freshman in high

school, I joined the debate team. I had been taking a

speech course for the whole year – oratory, poetry

reading, dramatic reading, and I thought it was the

most boring thing imaginable. In the spring, we

started the debate unit, and I loved it. That was the

first time I ever thought about being a lawyer.

I was derailed, or at least delayed, in my attempts

to go to college by family and funding. I went

to work pretty young, all the time plugging along

on my undergraduate studies. While I was going

to school and working in a hospital, I became

interested in health care delivery. I soon decided

I would like to run a health care institution. Some

years later, I was working on a Masters in Public

Health, taking a required course in health law

when my teacher called me in said, ‘it’s time to

talk about your legal career.’ I explained that as

a teenager, I used to want to be a lawyer, but I’d

given up on that goal. The following semester,

as I continued my plans to become a hospital

administrator, the chancellor of the medical school

called me with the news that Tulane had received

approval for a dual degree program between the

Law School and the School of Public Health. He

said, ‘We’ve decided you would be a good first

student. The LSAT will be offered on Saturday

(it was Tuesday). It would be a good idea if you

went to take it.’ I told the chancellor I didn’t think

Dean Gail Agrawal shared some of her thoughts about legal education with Sara Zafar, 2L from Wichita and president of KU Women in Law, Sarah Phillips, 2L from Overland Park and vice president, and Kelcie Longaker, 1L from Wichita and secretary.

I wanted to go to law school or be a lawyer. He seemed not to hear

me, ‘Well, it’s settled then, I’m expecting you’ll be taking the LSAT on

Saturday. Goodbye.’ On that Saturday, I took the LSAT, and in August

I started law school. My teacher was right about law being right for

me – I will forever be grateful to him. The chancellor sent me a note

after I graduated from law school that basically said ‘I told you so.’

WOMEN IN LAW: WHAt pROMptED yOuR

DECIsION tO CHANGE ROLEs tO tHAt OF AN

EDuCAtOR As OppOsED tO stAyING IN tHE

LEGAL pROFEssION?

DEAN AGRAWAL: By the time I graduated from law school, I decided

I wanted to be a law professor. But, I thought I would be a better

teacher if I practiced for 3 or 4 years. As soon as I completed my

judicial clerkships, I began practicing law and teaching on an adjunct

basis — one course a year at Tulane Law School and one course a

year at Tulane School of Public Health. I discovered a real joy in law

practice. Almost a decade later, I was living in Connecticut, practicing

full-time, not teaching, and missing that aspect of my professional life.

In a conversation with the then dean at Yale Law School about the

possibility of teaching an adjunct course at Yale, I told him how much

I had enjoyed teaching as an adjunct faculty member and how much I

missed the classroom. He said, ‘one of these days you’re going to have

to figure out if teaching is your calling or your hobby.’

Not long after that, I was invited by a former co-clerk, who was then

associate dean at the University of Michigan, to spend a year as the

Keck Foundation visiting professor of legal ethics at Michigan Law

School. He told me, ‘When we were law clerks, many of us thought

you were ‘most likely to teach,’ and here you are, more than a decade

later, practicing law.’ He encouraged me to give the academic life a full

time try. I thought about it for a few days and asked for and received a leave of

absence from my job to teach at Michigan law school for an academic year. I was

there about six weeks when I decided to seek a full-time teaching position.

WOMEN IN LAW: yOu sERvED As AssOCIAtE DEAN

AND tHEN INtERIM DEAN At NORtH CAROLINA AND

NOW As DEAN At Ku LAW sCHOOL. BEtWEEN NORtH

CAROLINA AND KANsAs, WHAt sIMILARItIEs AND

DIFFERENCEs HAvE yOu OBsERvED?

DEAN AGRAWAL: The schools are similar in many ways, and it’s not because

of our shared basketball linage. Both are public schools in the best sense. From

my own experience, I know that public education has the power to change lives.

Both law schools provide an important service to the state and the state bar and

value their ties with the practicing Bar and Bench. Both admit a substantial number

of students who are the first in their families to become lawyers, and in some

cases, the first generation to attend college, as I was. That is a special mission and

one this is special to me. Both schools work hard to keep the tuition reasonable

and a legal education accessible and affordable to all the qualified students in the

state. KU’s tuition is even lower than UNC’s, although both have had to increase

significantly over the last decade. Public law schools have to do more with less,

and KU and UNC provide a great legal education to their students. While both

schools have strong researchers and scholars on their faculties, they share a very

strong commitment to classroom teaching.

Dean Gail Agrawal shared some of her thoughts about legal education with Sara Zafar, 2L from Wichita and president of KU Women in Law, Sarah Phillips, 2L from Overland Park and vice president, and Kelcie Longaker, 1L from Wichita and secretary.


WOMEN IN LAW: WHAt WERE sOME OF tHE REAsONs

yOu DECIDED tO COME tO Ku LAW?

DEAN AGRAWAL: A deanship is a more than full-time commitment. When I

was associate dean at Carolina Law, the dean there compared it to a marriage,

waking up in the morning and going to bed at night thinking about the well

being of the law school. It’s always on your mind – it’s a commitment that you

don’t turn off. When I was looking at deanships, I needed a place like that,

one with a mission I shared, one where I felt I could make a positive difference.

When I looked at different schools, walked around the campuses, and met with

students and faculty, I tried to get a sense of whether I could feel that level of

commitment and caring about that institution. I was sitting on an airplane flying

back to Chapel Hill (from another school) when I realized that KU Law was that

place for me.

WOMEN IN LAW: WHAt ARE sOME OF yOuR pRINCIpAL

GOALs AND pRIORItIEs As tHE NEW DEAN OF Ku LAW

sCHOOL?

DEAN AGRAWAL: This year, the focus inside the building will be to look at

our curriculum with the notion of doing some innovation. We want to be at

the cutting edge of legal education. We want to make sure that when students

graduate from KU Law, they are prepared to take on the responsibilities of

lawyers. And, I want to make sure that no student leaves here feeling as though

her education wasn’t first-rate and top quality. One faculty committee will be

looking principally at the classroom side of what we do – what’s our first year

curriculum look like? Is it the best it can be? Do we have a logical progression

from first year to third year, and how are we building on that? Are we requiring

the right courses – too few or too many – should we have more structure or

less – a whole range of issues. Another committee, led by Associate Dean David

Gottlieb, will look at the skills training part of our curriculum – the lawyering

program, the clinics, externships and all the skills-based courses to make sure that

they, too, are cutting-edge, and well-integrated into the rest of our curriculum.

Outside the building, I am focused on a couple of things. On the student side, I

am interested in increasing diversity in our student body. I’m also very interested

in building bridges with our alumni – between the alumni and the school and

between the alumni and the current students. We have a very strong alumni

base. I have been traveling around already, talking to our alumni. What I’m

hearing is that many of our alumni have a great love for the school. They had a

good experience when they were here, but they don’t always

feel a strong continuing tie to us, and they would like to be

more connected. I’ll be spending some time figuring out how

we’re going to go about doing that.

WOMEN IN LAW: WHAt CHALLENGEs DO

yOu FACE As Ku LAW sCHOOL’s FIRst

FEMALE DEAN?

DEAN AGRAWAL: None, I hope, that I wouldn’t face if I

were KU Law School’s male dean. Justice O’Connor is fond

of saying that at the end of the day, a wise woman and a

wise man would likely reach the same decision. I think she’s

probably right about that.

WOMEN IN LAW: WHAt Is yOuR

pERsONAL pHILOsOpHy AND AppROACH

tO LEGAL EDuCAtION?

DEAN AGRAWAL: The professional schools generally have

a mission that is different in that we are both an academic

discipline and a profession out there in the world. If you’re

teaching graduate students in history, for example, you are

principally teaching the students who will replace you in the

classroom. Law is different. We are charged to prepare our

students to be lawyers for the most part, although some do us

the great honor of following their teachers’ paths to become

law teachers. In the professional schools, we have to balance

these two missions – our mission as an academic discipline to

contribute to the conversation in the larger academy, and our

mission to the practicing Bar and Bench to educate and train

the next generation of great lawyers.

WOMEN IN LAW: IN KEEpING

WItH OuR tHEME – WOMEN IN

LAW – WHAt ARE GREAtEst

CHALLENGEs tHAt WOMEN

FACE IN OBtAINING A LEGAL

EDuCAtION tODAy?

DEAN AGRAWAL: I think there are no longer any

special impediments to women being admitted to

law schools. One thing that we’ve noticed here, and

one that other law schools are also experiencing,

is a decline in the number of women applying to

law school. Nobody knows for sure why. What

I’m really interested in is not what impediments do

women face coming in to law school, but what is

happening to discourage women from applying to

law school or to cause them to leave the practice

of law after only a few years. Why are there fewer

women in the pool? Will this continue, or is it just

a fluke?

I have been teaching full-time for 10 years. Including

my years as an adjunct, I have been teaching for

nearly 20 years. Many of my female students are

leaving the profession quickly. Many are going part-

time if they aren’t leaving. And, it worries me a lot.

Now, I am of that generation that benefited from

the hard work of a relatively small number of very

aggressive, strong and determined women, who

were breaking down doors in every walk of life

– law, politics, business – everywhere. Women of

my generation are concerned that a lot of people

went through a lot, sacrificed a lot, for women to

walk away from it or reject it. But, I think there

is also another way to look at it. What the work

of all those courageous women did, women who

are now in their mid-60s to mid-70s, what they

got for us, perhaps, is the ability to choose. The

ability to say, ‘I want to be a lawyer or doctor. Or,

I have an education to be a lawyer or doctor or archeologist

or whatever, but I choose to stay home. Or, I choose to work

part-time, or I choose to do something else – be a volunteer, be

engaged with my family.’ And that’s a great gift and an important

accomplishment for women, too.

WOMEN IN LAW: WHAt ARE yOuR

ExpECtAtIONs AND HOpEs FOR OuR

WOMEN IN LAW ORGANIzAtION?

DEAN AGRAWAL: I would like the group to be an active force

at the law school and in the community. We might consider

an annual program for women in the legal profession open to

law students, practicing lawyers, and members of the judiciary,

to discuss issues of interest to women professionals at various

stages of their careers. Topics might include work-family

balance, “rain making” for women, and making the transition

from student to professional, among others. Women law

students could sponsor a program for women undergraduates

or high school students who might be considering law school

and a legal career. Of course, getting together over breakfast as

I did recently with women in law or over a potluck supper are

things we should do just because they are fun and a good way

to build community within the law school.


When Sheila Bair was sworn in as chairman of the Federal Deposit

Insurance Corporation in June 2006, she assumed the top spot with a

daunting array of challenges before her.

Bair, who arrived at the FDIC at a time when it is involved in a number

of major policy issues, acknowledges that the agency will have to

implement a number of important improvements to the deposit

insurance system that Congress passed earlier this year. Two of the

nation’s largest retailers, Wal-Mart and Home Depot, have each

applied, separately, to the FDIC for permission to open a special kind of

bank known as an industrial loan company. “These applications touch

on a number of important issues, such as the appropriate relationship

between banking and commerce in this country. In addition, the FDIC

is playing a leading role in issues of identity theft, international capital

standards, anti-money laundering, financial education and regulatory

burden reduction.”

With these and other challenges facing the FDIC, Bair has her work cut

out for her. But, KU law professor Fred Lovitch, who has been teaching

at KU since 1972, says the 1978 Law School alum is more than equal to

the task.

“Anyone who achieves this position – as well as all the other positions

she has – has remarkable ability and intelligence,” Lovitch says. “It’s no

surprise that she’s been this successful. This is a person of enormous

energy and capacity.”

Sheila Bair is now the top policy maker for a government agency with

86 offices, 4, 500 employees and the responsibility for insuring $2.8

trillion in deposits in more than 8,000 banks and savings associations

nationwide.

In a statement following her appointment, Bair said, “I am pleased to

be joining the FDIC at such an important time. I am looking forward

to the challenges that lie ahead, and working closely with our highly

experienced board and staff.”

Bair has more than 20 years experience working in the nation’s capital

in senior positions in government and financial services. The National

Journal has described her as “an experienced Washington hand that has

forged a career at the intersection of politics and policy.”

Bair is a native of Independence, Kansas, who earned a bachelor’s

degree in philosophy in 1975 and her law degree from KU in 1978.

She began her career in the General Counsel’s office of the former U.S.

Department of Health, Education and Welfare. In 1982, she joined the

staff of Sen. Robert Dole, working for him on both his senate leadership

staff and his 1988 presidential campaign. In 1990, she was a candidate

for Congress in the Kansas 5th District. From 1991 to 1995, Bair served

as a commissioner on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission,

followed by five years as Senior Vice President of Government

Relations for the New York Stock Exchange.

Bair was President George W. Bush’s first pick to serve as the Treasury

Department’s Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions in his new

administration. During her tenure at Treasury, she was responsible

for a range of policies affecting financial institutions related to safety

and soundness, consumer protection and national security. Before her

appointment to the FDIC, Bair was the Dean’s Professor of Financial

Regulatory Policy for the Isenberg School of Management at the

University of Massachusetts–Amherst since 2002.

Bair, who is also a mother of two, has a special interest in educating

young people about money and has received several honors for her

published work on financial issues. Her first children’s book, Rock, Brock

and the Savings Shock, was published in 2006. “I absolutely intend to

keep focusing on financial education for children,” Bair says. “The FDIC

already is very active in financial education efforts, and I hope to place

a particular emphasis on school-based education and the integration of

math and financial curricula. I believe this kind of education can improve

both financial literacy and math scores.”

Marilyn M. Harp has devoted her career to providing legal assistance to

low-income people and to promoting equal access to justice. In October

she was appointed executive director of Kansas Legal Services, only the

second in the 29 year history of the organization.

Harp previously served as the interim executive director of Kansas Legal

Services since Sept. 1, 2006, and the regional director of the Wichita and

Southwest Kansas offices since 1996.

She has practiced with Kansas Legal Services since her legal career began

following her graduation from KU Law School in 1979. She says she

always planned to pursue some combination of law and social welfare,

but admits that she “never expected to be here 26 years.” Kansas Legal

Services is a statewide non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping

low-income Kansans meet their basic needs through the provision of

essential legal, mediation and employment training services.

“I have enjoyed every single day of coming to work here. Part of it is the

variety – the different clients and situations I’ve been involved with. I get

to help people in ways that really matter – because I do a lot of family

law, in ways that matter to them and their kids. Working with other staff,

I am involved in encouraging and inspiring them to work for equal justice

for low-income Kansans. That suits me very well.”

Kansas Legal Services employs more than 150 lawyers, paralegals and

support staff statewide across 15 offices. In the Wichita office, Harp

supervised a staff of six lawyers and other staff and paralegals who serve

about 8,000 clients a year. In addition, the call center, where people can

apply for legal services, takes about 36,000 calls a year. KLS handles cases

in the areas of consumer, employment, family, juvenile, health, housing,

income maintenance and individual rights law.

Harp has been active in professional legal organizations, including the

Kansas Bar Association, where she currently serves on the LegalAid and

Referral committee and Diversity Committee and is a past member of

the Continuing Legal Education Committee. From 1994 to 2000, she

served on the KBA board of governors and its executive committee.

She currently supervises the KBA’s Lawyer Referral Service and the Elder

Law Hotline. She was the co-founder and director responsible for the

development and implementation of the Elder Hotline. She was a key

figure in the development of innovative procedures used in Sedgwick

County for the fair and prompt disposition of protection from domestic

abuse cases. As an adjunct faculty member at Wichita State University,

she teaches a course related to women’s issues in law.

Also active in numerous community organizations, Harp serves as the

board president for Alternative Gifts, International, a fund-raising agency

that raises about $1.3 million annually for worldwide relief efforts. She

also serves on the Step Stone board of directors, an organization that

provides transitional housing for domestic violence victims. In recognition

of her service to the legal profession, the Kansas Bar Association honored

her with a 2006 Award for Distinguished Service.


Mary Kathleen Babcock is the personification of

professionalism in the law. With 30 years of successful

law practice and the admiration of colleagues, Babcock

was honored in 2006 with the Kansas Bar Association

Professionalism Award.

The award recognizes “an individual who has practiced

law for 10 or more years and who – by his or her

conduct, honesty, integrity and courtesy – best exemplifies,

represents and encourages other lawyers to follow the

highest standards of the legal profession as identified by

the KBA Hallmarks of Professionalism.”

Babcock graduated from KU Law School in 1976 and

joined Foulston Siefkin LLP in Wichita, where she was the

first female attorney in the firm and would later become

a senior partner. Before her retirement last spring, she

advised public and private employers on a wide range of

legal issues related to employment; she defended federal

discrimination cases and represented employers in first

Amendment, 14th Amendment, and other Section 1983

litigation; served as general counsel to school districts

and represented both the schools and parents in special

education litigation.

When asked about the advice she would give to young

women just entering the legal profession, Babcock said it is

important to learn how to balance the needs of asserting

yourself with confidence and maintaining the respect of

your colleagues.

“One thing that is difficult for young women lawyers,”

Babcock says, “is knowing when to be assertive, and

knowing when to back off. You have to learn that courtesy

is an appropriate element of the profession. Sometimes,

you can do much more using humor than by advancing

with your claws out.”

She believes that young women lawyers will continue the struggle to learn

how to balance family with a legal career. Balancing the needs of children

and family with the responsibilities of depositions and court appearances

can be challenging. “It is difficult to get firms to adapt to the needs of young

mothers, Babcock says. These are difficult issues for both the firms and the

young women working for them.”

Babcock received the KBA Outstanding Service Award in 2001 and was

selected, in 2005, by both the “Best Lawyers in America” and “Chambers

USA” as a leading employment lawyer in the United States. She has served

on many boards and committees, including 16 years on the Kansas State

Board of Discipline of Attorneys, serving as chair since 1995. She served on

the KBA’s board of governors from 1991 to 1995, treasurer from 93-94,

and two terms as secretary, in addition to service on the board of trustees

for the Kansas Bar Foundation. She is a past member of the board of

governors of the University of Kansas Law Society, Merit Selection Panel for

Federal Judges, Selection Committee for Federal Magistrates, and the U.S.

District Committee on Conduct of Attorneys.

Apart from the law, Babcock is active in many organizations, including the

board of trustees of the Wichita Symphony and as a member of the Music

Theater of Wichita. In retirement, Babcock says she is looking forward to

remaining active in community organizations and in the Episcopal Church,

including the possibility of a ministry in a church in southeast Kansas.

The American Bar Association Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section presented Michelle

Worrall Tilton, L’88 with the Kirsten Christophe Memorial Award for Excellence in Trial and

Insurance Law at its annual meeting in Hawaii in August 2006.

The award is named in honor of Kirsten Christophe, a former member of the TIPS Council

who lost her life in the World Trade Center on September 11th. Christophe was vice

president and director of risk management services for Aon Corporation and a nationally

recognized expert in risk management, the author of several papers and books, an active

member of the New York Junior League, and an active TIPS member for more than 15 years.

The award was created to honor her dedication to the legal professional and pay tribute to

her ability to balance career, philanthropy and family life.

“No one in our section better personifies the exemplary attributes of Kirsten Christophe in

balancing career, profession and family than Michelle Worrall Tilton,” said section chair Sandra

McCandless. “Michelle’s obvious dedication to her family, demonstrated by the frequent

attendance of her children and her mother with her at professional meetings, makes it all

the more admirable that she is the President of First Media. Michelle’s outstanding personal

qualities – enthusiasm, energy and compassion – make her a role model for all of us.”

In her acceptance speech, Tilton said, “The tragic and senseless loss of a vibrant and talented

woman, attorney, daughter, wife and mother makes one feel impotent and helpless. I was on

Council when we created this award for Kirsten because it was all we could do. This award is

a tribute to Kirsten and the remarkable person that she

was and a reminder of how we must embrace each

day and those who are important to us. This is how

Kirsten lived her life. This is how last year’s recipient,

Fran Semaya, lives her life. This is how our great

chair, Sandy McCandless, lives her life. This is how I

endeavor to live my life.”

As president and claims counsel for First Media, a

division of OneBeacon Professional Partners, Tilton

supervises the defense of defamation, invasion of

privacy and intellectual property litigation on a national

and international basis on behalf of policyholders, as

well as assisting underwriters on risk selection and

containment.

Active in TIPS for several years, Tilton has served as

TIPS Revenue Officer, on the TIPS Council, and chaired

the Task Force on Outreach to Young Lawyers, the

General Committee Board, and the Media, Privacy and

Defamation Law Committee. She is also a Fellow of

the ABA young Lawyers Division and was a founding

co-chair of the ABA Forum on Communications’

Women in Communications Law Committee. In

addition, she has been active in the Missouri Bar

Association and the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar

Association, and served as a Missouri Bar Foundation

Trustee. She has received President’s Awards from

both the Missouri Bar Association and the Young

Lawyers Section of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar

Association for her significant contributions to the

organization and leadership.

Green Hall NewsAlma Monreal was 18 years old in 2001 when she was convicted of the death of her

newborn daughter. Because of the efforts of law students and attorneys who work

with the Paul E. Wilson Defender Project at KU, the young woman from Dodge City,

Kan., will get a second chance at justice.

The Defender Project was started in 1965 by Paul E. Wilson as a way to help

prisoners who might otherwise not have legal representation. Students earn course

credit for their work and get valuable real-life legal experience that isn’t possible in a

classroom

Monreal was serving a 13-year sentence at the Topeka Correctional Facility when

she contacted the Defender Project. Erika Rasmussen, a student intern, reviewed

Monreal’s case file, and alerted supervising attorney Elizabeth Cateforis, who also

identified problems with Monreal’s case. When the Defender Project team took

the matter back to the courts, they were successful in helping to reverse Monreal’s

second-degree murder conviction. She was granted a new trial, but remained in Ford

County Jail awaiting a new trial date.

“This is, without a doubt, the worst case we have ever seen,” says Defender Project

Director Jean Phillips. Monreal’s attorney gave no opening statement at the trial,

asked only eleven questions and gave a closing statement of less than

a minute. Phillips says there were important psychological issues to

consider, but no complete psychological evaluation was conducted at

the time of the first trial. There were also concerns about the autopsy,

police interrogation and other areas in which they believe the defense

attorney was negligent.

The Defender Project, which receives more than 200 letters from the

state’s inmates asking for assistance every year, cannot take on every

case. Sometimes, there are glaring legal errors. Other times, the legal

work is solid, but in either case, students learn from the experience.

“The unique thing about the project is it gives students a chance to go

back and look at the record, to see good and bad work. It just gives

them an opportunity to put what they learn in motion,” Phillips says.

KU law’s relationship with the United Arab Emirates University (UAE) College of Law began

in March 2005 when the KU Law faculty hosted a delegation of deans and distinguished faculty

from three Arab countries – Qatar, Oman and the UAE. The delegates spent three days at

KU visiting classes, listening to special lectures, and attending social events. Among the most

animated of the eleven Arab delegates was Dr. Jassim Al-Shamsi, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of

Shari’a and Law at the UAE University. Al-Shamsi was about to become Dean of the College,

and was intent on lifting its visibility and prestige. He arrived already impressed by Professor

Bhala’s encyclopedic knowledge of world trade generally and the World Trade Organization

(WTO) specifically. The UAE had been admitted to the WTO the previous year, and there

were no academic programs on the Arabian Peninsula that prepared Arab students for legal

trade worked on the international stage. He was also intrigued by Professor Mike Davis’s

special lecture on American legal education and the ABA’s accreditation standards and

processes.

That fall, now-Dean Shamsi invited Bhala and Davis to the UAE to help the College create a

seminal Masters degree program in International Trade. Both invitees were eager to help, but

both had commitments that delayed the visit until April 28-May3, 2006. It was also agreed

that Bhala would give lectures on International Trade to the Dubai and Abu Dhabi Chambers

of Commerce, and that Davis would speak to Law College faculty and students on “American

Regulation of Lawyers and Law School in the Global Economy.”

On April 27 Bhala, Davis and Davis’s

wife, Faye, left Kansas City for the UAE.

They landed the following day in Dubai,

from where their greeters drove them

to Al Ain, a former desert oasis town

that is now the home of UAE University.

Work began the following morning as

the KU representatives attended a series

of meetings with UAE officials, including

the (American) Dean of the Graduate

School, the University Vice Chancellor,

and the (American) Associate Provost for

Academic Affairs. Later that afternoon

they met with the (American) Dean of

the School of Business. That evening Davis

gave his lecture at the College.

The heaviest lifting came the following

day, when Bhala and Davis spent all day

with UAE faculty members drafting the

requirements and curriculum for the

Masters degree program. The product

was a program created to be both “world

class and self-sustaining.” The draft

addressed admission requirements, class

sizes, required and elective courses, and

a timetable for completion. The drafters

also agreed that to be world class the

program would be taught in English,

and – contrary to the UAE tradition

– women and men would be integrated

into the same classrooms. Bhala and

Davis reported the outline of their work

to Dean Shamsi, who gave his immediate

and grateful approval. Ultimately, the

recommendations were formally made in

a 49-page report co-authored by Bhala

and Davis after their return to KU. Four

months later, Bhala returned to the UAE

to help the College present the program

to top Emarati educational and political

figures. Chances for adoption in the fall

of 2006 seemed quite high.

The stay in the Emirates was not all

work. Indeed, the three guests were

overwhelmed by legendary Arab

hospitality. They enjoyed a seemingly

unending series of buffets featuring

some of the region and world’s greatest

delicacies. There was a Bedouin-led

camel ride in the desert; tours of Dubai,

Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah; and receptions

following Bhala’s presentations to the

Chambers of Commerce. In the end, the

three left the UAE (for a three-day visit

to Saudi Arabia) with good work behind

them, full stomachs, a great admiration

for their hosts, and a uniform desire

to remain in contact with the College

that had brought them to one of the

world’s most interesting – and strategic-

countries.

In each issue of the KU Law magazine, The

International Law Corner profiles a topic in, or

relating to, International or Comparative Law

on which a faculty member is working. The

International Law Corner adduces three simple

points about everyday life in Green Hall. First,

KU Law faculty actively engages in substantive

research on prominent legal issues. Second,

many issues on which faculty work have cross-

border dimensions. Third, the faculty strives to

prepare students to think about, and practice,

law at a world-class level in an ineluctably global

environment. Pieces in The International Law

Corner may be excerpts from faculty publications,

specially tailored articles, commentary, or essays,

interviews, or other appropriate forms.

The Indian Commerce Minister, Kamal Nath, is

right when he says, with reference to American

farm subsidies, that Indian farmers are willing

to compete with American farmers on a level

playing field, but they cannot compete with

the United States Treasury Department. That

said, it is reasonable to argue the United States

has been more willing to engage in meaningful

agricultural reform than the EU. Unfortunately,

in an odd act of trans-Atlantic loyalty or

solidarity, the United States has chained its

negotiating position and stature in the WTO

to reform of the EU’s Common Agricultural

Policy (CAP). That reform has not happened.

The ballyhooed July 2004 decoupling by the

EU of “Blue Box” farm subsidies from output

is not serious progress. A product-by-product

review suggests linkage lingers. Reform is

inevitable, because the EU budget cannot

withstand extension of full CAP benefits to the

10 new member countries. In the meantime,

the Americans should have, and still should,

On March 4, 2006, students, faculty and alumni gathered at the Adams Alumni

Center for the 11th Annual Diversity in Law Banquet. The evening highlights a

weekend that recognizes the KU School of Law’s proud tradition of admitting

and graduating students from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Reginald

L. Robinson, president and CEO of the Kansas Board of Regents, was the guest

speaker.

The Minorities in Law Banquet began in 1996 as one of the most important fund

raising events for the Minority Scholarship Fund. The Banquet has become a

meaningful way for faculty, students, alumni and friends to celebrate the many

contributions made to the law profession by persons of color. The members

of the Black Law Students Association, the Hispanic American Law Students

Association, Asian Law Students Association and the Native American Law

Students Association take turns organizing the event each year. The Black

Law Students Association hosted this year’s festivities. The banquet has

featured inspirational speakers from many different practice areas who share a

commitment to mentoring students and contributing to their communities.

The Diversity in Law Banquet gathers several generations of graduates, from

all backgrounds, so that they might reflect on their experiences and share

the lessons they have learned. The evening is important, not only because of

the commitment by alumni to the Law School, but also for the tremendous

commitment by the Law School to quality legal education for all students.

exploit European irresoluteness and reconnect with their trade

liberalizing, pro-development tradition.

Most developing and least developed countries see American trade

policy as at least as recalcitrant and uncharitable toward them as

that of the EU. Why the United States made the choice it did in

Cancún is a matter for speculation. One possibility is agricultural trade

liberalization was relegated to pursuing EU support in the United

Nations Security Council on Iraq. The timing of events may be more

than coincidental. Whatever the truth, it is past time for the United

States to decouple itself from the EU in the WTO. Eighty percent of

the WTO Membership consists of developing and least developing

countries, and their population is over 5 billion to about 400 million

Europeans. For American farmers, these countries are a far larger and

growing market than the EU. For all Americans, they are of greater

moral concern, if only because they are monstrously poorer than the

EU.

The United States offered a reasonably generous proposal n

liberalizing trade in farm products in October 2005, just before the

failed WTO Ministerial Conference in December 2005. The EU

could not match the American terms. Other interesting proposals

came from the Group of 10 (G-10), Group of 20 (G-20) countries, and the

African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) region. Trade negotiators have held many

meetings since the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference, and their teams have

run computer simulations of various hypothetical Doha Round trade barrier

cuts. But, they have not reached a breakthrough. To the contrary, the July 2006

meetings led to collapse, or at least suspension. It is time for a major, even

radical, shift in American trade negotiating strategy if the United States cares to

regain the mantle of leadership in multilateral trade liberalization. That will mean

cutting out the EU – for now.

Imagine, then, the following strategy. The United States deals directly with

Brazil, China, and India, plus the Cairns Group, and eschews the EU. The

talks produce an agreement on each of five pillars on which agricultural trade

liberalization must rest:

Market Access: The negotiating partners agree to cut their applied tariff rates,

and bind these rates, at an average of 10 percent, with a limit on tariff peaks of

15 percent. The United States meets this target already, and Brazil nearly does

(with an average applied agricultural tariff of 10 percent, and a maximum applied

tariff of 20 percent). Potential gains would come from tariff cuts in major

markets like China and India.

Domestic Support: The United States agrees not to amend the Blue Box

(now containing production set-asides) to include counter-cyclical payments to

farmers, leaving them in the Amber Box (the default category) but capping them

at an acceptable limit. The negotiating partners agree the U.S. can maintain its

marketing loan and crop insurance programs. Both sides agree to limit domestic

support in such a way that their producer support estimates (PSEs), as measured

by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),

does not exceed 10 percent. (Currently, Australia is at 4 percent, Brazil at 3

percent, New Zealand at 2 percent, and the United States at 17 percent. The

EU stands at 34 percent.) To be sure, careful calculations would be needed to

guarantee the United States could not significantly increase domestic support

spending beyond its current $19 billion annually, but at the same time could

have the flexibility it needs to cover bona fide concerns of farmers, possibly

through unconstrained Green Box (i.e., non-trade distorting) subsidies.

Export Subsidies: The United States and its negotiating partners agree to

the elimination of all export subsidies in five years. The United States agrees

to include export credits, but all in-kind food aid are exempt, and China, in

particular, is held to the obligation.

Professor Bhala in Muscat, Oman, with a colleague from the College of Shari’a and Law.


Sanitary and Phytosanitary Standards: The United States and its

negotiating partners agree not to impose any import restrictions based

on a precautionary but unproven fear of genetically modified organisms

(GMOs), to adhere to a rigorous definition of “scientific” evidence

needed under WTO rules to bar food imports, including beef, and

to recognize each others inspection procedures within a prescribed

period.

Special Safeguards: The United States and its negotiating partners

agree to limit to a specific number (say, five per country) the number

of sensitive products on which a safeguard restriction can be imposed.

The trigger events – that is, the threshold price and threshold import

volume – used to determine whether a safeguard can be imposed

are reasonable, and adjusted over time in a trade-liberalizing manner,

safeguard relief is limited to no more than 3 years, and a sunset date

(say 10 years) is put on the remedy.

When the United States, Brazil, China, India, and the Cairns Group

reach agreement on these pillars, they present the deal fait accompli to

the EU. At that point, the EU must join the terms and fully decouple

its domestic support, or walk away from the deal. To walk away would

be to ensure a Doha Round collapse. It will be the EU, not the United

States, cast in the role of “bad guy.”

Suppose the EU accepts this role of spoiler? The United States and its

partners must be resolute in their willingness to make the agricultural

trade liberalization deal a plurilateral one – for the benefit of only

the WTO members that accept its terms, just like the Government

Procurement Agreement from the 1986-94 Uruguay Round. While

sub-optimal, this outcome at least would liberalize trade among the

agreeing members, and preclude EU exports from entering those

members’ markets boosted by unreformed CAP benefits.

Admittedly, the suggested strategy is not flawless – no trade

negotiation strategy ever is. One concern is some developing and

least developed countries (especially in the ACP) rely heavily on EU

consumers to buy their agricultural output. For them, a negotiation

without one of their largest export markets represented at the table

ultimately would have to be rectified in some commercially

meaningful way. But, with the EU at the table since the Doha

Round was launched in November 2001, poor countries

hardly can claim victory – and world opinion of American

trade policy has gone from bad to worse.

It is painful to watch the great liberalizing trade nation that

opposed colonial preferences at the drafting of the GATT

Preparatory Conferences in 1946 and 1947, and behaved

magnanimously toward the Third World thereafter through

foreign assistance, now hurt its own farmers and their

counterparts in poor countries by a euro-centric approach in

world trade talks. The future for American agriculture, and

for American values toward the poor, is not on the European

continent.

Robert Zischg, the Chicago Consul General for Austria and a leading diplomat

from a country that has strongly opposed the admission of Turkey into the

European Union, was the inaugural speaker at the KU School of Law’s first

Diplomat’s Forum in March 2006.

The KU Law School — the only American law school with formal cooperation

and exchange programs with schools in Vienna, Austria and Istanbul,

Turkey — established the Diplomat’s Forum to give students more global

perspectives, said Raj Bhala, Raymond F. Rice Distinguished Professor Law.

“Inviting diplomats who are posted in the U.S. will give us a view of ourselves

through foreign eyes. It will help students understand how we are perceived

overseas,” Bhala said. “It also gives us the opportunity to share our views with

the diplomats to relay back to their country.”

Zischg, 42, was named to head Austria’s Chicago Consulate General in April

2005 and has worked in his country’s foreign affairs ministry since 1990.

Zischg’s speech, “Friends or Barbarians at the Gate?” gave his country’s

perspective on whether Turkey should be admitted into the European Union.

Zischg’s speech took place around the same time that negotiations were

authorized to consider the admission of Turkey as the first Muslim-majority

nation in the 25-member European Union. Turkey has faced mounting public

opposition in EU countries, which was exacerbated by violent reaction in the

Muslim countries to published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in Danish

newspapers. Zischg ably traced the history of Turkey’s application for EU

membership, and laid out clearly the reasons why Austria – at present – is

reluctant to see Turkey admitted. Austria held the revolving position of the

presidency of the European Union for the first six months of this year.

Bhala says the Diplomat’s Forum is being planned as an annual event, with the

focus on attracting an engaging speaker to cover a provocative topic.

In February, in a forum with law school

faculty and students, lawyer and author

Scott Turow shared his thoughts on capital

punishment. Known for his popular, best-

selling legal thrillers, Turow is also the

author of Ultimate Punishment: A Lawyer’s

Reflections on Dealing with the Death

Penalty. Turow acknowledged that he has

struggled with his own philosophy about

capital punishment. As a former prosecutor

and a criminal defense lawyer, Turow has

wrestled with the legal and moral questions

surrounding the death penalty. As a writer,

he has approached the subject in fiction

and non-fiction and has never found easy

answers to any of the difficult questions

surrounding the death penalty.

In January 2000, Illinois Governor George

Ryan instituted the nation’s first moratorium

on state executions and later appointed

Turow to a commission to study the state’s

capital punishment system. Turow said the

governor gave the commission only one

instruction: to determine what reforms, if

any, would make application of the death

penalty in Illinois fair, just and accurate.

“The real question is, ‘Are we ever going

to construct a legal system that reaches the

right cases without also reaching the wrong

cases?’” Turow asked. “My conclusion was

no. We’re never going to construct that

system.”

In an article published in The New Yorker,

Turow wrote, “Capital punishment is

supposed to be applied only to the most

heinous crimes, but it is precisely those

cases, which, because of the strong feelings

of repugnance they evoke, most thoroughly

challenge the detached judgment of all

participants in the legal process – police,

prosecutors, judges and juries.”

“A horrible crime turns the burden of proof

against the innocent,” Turow said, and he

challenged the audience to review first-

degree murder cases, and “see if you can

find the guiding sense of reason to see who

was sentenced to death and who was not.”


The spring of 2006 was full of achievements

for students and faculty in the Tribal Law and

Government Center. Stacy Leeds, associate professor

and director of the Tribal Law and Government

Center, received a promotion with tenure to full

professor. In addition to teaching and directing the

work of the center, Leeds is currently serving as

interim director of the KU Center for Indigenous

Nations Studies. In 2005, the university began a joint

degree program in law and indigenous nations studies,

which allows students to earn both a law degree and

a master of arts in indigenous nations studies.

In other news, a new publication, Indigenous Nations

Journal, being produced by the law school in

partnership with the indigenous nations program, will

publish its debut issue in December 2006.

Leeds joined the KU law faculty in 2003 after serving

as assistant professor and director of the Northern

Plains Indian Law Center at the University of North

Dakota School of Law. Her law teaching career began

at the University of Wisconsin School of Law where

she received her LL.M. as a William H. Hastie Fellow.

She received her bachelor’s degree from Washington

University in St. Louis and her law degree from the

University of Tulsa.

In April, the School of Law learned that the National

Native American Law Students Association named

Elizabeth Cook, 3L, its Third Year Law Student of

the Year, and Sarah Craker, 2L, its Second Year Law

Student of the Year.

These prestigious awards were given at the annual

Federal Bar Association’s Indian Law Conference

in Albuquerque, New Mexico in April. Each award

is voted on by the National NALSA executive

committee.

Elizabeth Cook is a graduate of

Davenport University in Traverse

City, Michigan. She served as the

treasurer for the KU chapter of

NALSA. In addition, she has worked for

Michigan Legal Services as a research

assistant and for her own tribe, the

Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and

Chippewa Indians, as a law clerk. She

graduated in May with a certificate in

Indian Law.

Sarah Craker is a graduate of Missouri

Southern State College in Joplin,

Missouri, where she founded the Native

American Student Association’s

local chapter, and was a recipient

of the National Collegiate Minority

Leadership Award. In addition to

her activities with NALSA, she

also works in KU’s Tribal Judicial

Support Clinic, and volunteers her

time at a local kitchen providing

meals for the homeless.

NALSA is a nationwide

organization of both native

and non-native law students,

committed to promoting the study

of law by Native Americans. They

also promote the overall study and

development of Indian Law and

the success of Indian law students.

The KU NALSA students were

selected in May as “Organization

of the Year” for the 2005-

David Gottlieb, professor and former director of the

Paul E. Wilson Defender Project, has been named

by Dean Gail Agrawal to fill the new position of

associate dean for clinical programs.

The law school’s clinical legal education programs are

comprised of ten different clinics and externships that

provide law students with opportunities to develop

legal skills and learn professional values in actual

practice settings. The clinics are: Legal Aid Clinic, Paul

E. Wilson Defender Project, Criminal Prosecution

Clinic, Elderlaw Externship, Externship Clinic, Judicial

Clerkship Clinic, Legislative Clinic, Media Law Clinic,

Public Policy Clinic and Tribal Judicial Support Clinic.

The school’s skills training curriculum also includes

a wide array of simulation courses in litigation and

counseling skills.

“In terms of our diversity of offerings and the

accessibility of programs to students, we are one of

the best law schools in the country,” Gottlieb says.

“We have a wonderful array of programs. One of my

tasks will be in letting the world know that.”

Gottlieb describes his new role as associate dean

as one of a coordinator or resource for legal clinical

education. “My job is to know what’s going on

with all the various clinical programs, including the

professional skills courses and first-year lawyering

program, so we’ll have a greater ability to speak to

and learn from the rest of the academic world,”

Gottlieb says.

As the school’s ambassador for the clinical programs,

Gottlieb’s charge from the dean is to work with

the ad hoc committees evaluating the law school’s

curriculum, to examine our current program, and

to suggest ways in which we might

improve. He looks forward to

working with the directors of all

the clinical programs and helping to

coordinate and improve the school’s

efforts to give students “real world

experiences with faculty supervision,”

Gottlieb says. “These experiences give

students the chance to think about

the real world and the way they

interact with it.”

Gottlieb joined the KU law faculty

in 1979, and he was director of the

Paul E. Wilson Defender Project from

1979–1999. He teaches courses in

criminal law and criminal procedure,

professional responsibility and

international human rights. This fall,

he created and is teaching a course

in Legal Responses to Terrorism.

He has served in the past in several

capacities as a consultant on clinical

legal education in the United States

and, more recently, he has helped

design clinical programs in Ukraine

and Bulgaria.

Christopher R. Drahozal has been

named the John M. Rounds Distinguished

Professor of Law at the University of

Kansas.

Interim Dean Mike Davis called the

decision “a great one for the University

and for the School of Law.” He added

that “Chris Drahozal could be on virtually

any law faculty in America. Fortunately, he

is at KU, and this honor will no doubt help

us keep him here for a long time.”

“It’s a great honor to be named the

Rounds Professor,” Drahozal says. “I

appreciate the support I’ve gotten from

my colleagues here at KU, and look

forward to continuing to help KU Law

School to be the best place it can be.”

Drahozal joined the law school faculty

in 1994 and is an internationally known

expert on the law and economics of

dispute resolution, particularly arbitration.

He has published numerous books and

articles on commercial arbitration, and has made

presentations on arbitration law and practice

throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

Drahozal also is an outstanding teacher, and received

the school’s Immel teaching award in 2004.

Prior to teaching, Drahozal was in private law

practice in Washington, D.C., and served as a law

clerk for the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in

The Hague, the United States Supreme Court, and

the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth

Circuit.

The Rounds professorship was established by John

M. Rounds, a 1939 graduate of KU Law School, in

1986. In 1998, Rounds gave a $500,000 gift to the

KU School of Law to establish the Paul E. Wilson

Distinguished Professorship. Rounds was also named

a Distinguished Alumna and a James Woods Green

Medallion Honoree.

Alumni NewsKU Law’s Distinguished Alumni are recognized as alumni whose lives have “benefited the

community and whose noteworthy contributions through the years have brought honor to the

School of Law.” For their exceptional achievements, dedication to excellence and commitment

to public service, the University of Kansas School of Law honored Bill Hines, James Paddock and

Christopher Smith with its 2006 Distinguished Alumni Awards. The citations were presented at

the May 21, 2006, law school hooding ceremony at the Lied Center.

N. William (Bill) Hines grew up in Olathe, Kansas, and attended Baker University in Baldwin

City, Kansas, on a basketball scholarship. A four-year letterman in both basketball and tennis,

Hines was also active in student government and was a member of the college’s scholastic

honor society, Alpha Delta Sigma, before receiving his A.B. degree with honors in 1958. Coming

to KU on an academic scholarship to study law, Hines graduated first in his class in 1961.

After he earned his J.D., Hines continued his law study as a graduate student at Harvard

Law School, where he also worked as a Teaching Fellow. Early in his first year at Harvard, he

received an unexpected offer to join the law faculty at the University of Iowa, which he did

— and where he recently celebrated his 44th anniversary at the school. For his first 10 years at

Iowa, Hines directed the school’s Agricultural

Law Center. In 1976, he was named Dean

of the College of Law, a position he held

continuously until 2004 — his 28 years remain a

record tenure for a law dean at Iowa.

While dean, he nearly doubled the size of the

Iowa law faculty, while keeping the student

enrollment level; oversaw the planning and

construction of a new $25 million law building

opened in 1986; helped boost the school’s

endowment by $60 million; supported law

library growth that made Iowa the largest public

law school library in the nation; and guided

the school to a consistent Top 25 ranking.

Christopher Smith, L’72, James W. Paddock, L’56, N. William Hines, Jr., L’61


Upon stepping down from the deanship,

a new endowed professorship, the Hines

Chair, was named in his honor.

Hines has received two coveted all-

university awards at Iowa: the Hancher-

Finkbine Medallion for outstanding

academic leadership and the M.L.

Huit Award for stellar administrative

effectiveness in serving students.

Throughout his career, Hines has been

actively involved in the work of the

Association of American Law Schools,

a national organization of 168 member

schools that promote the improvement

of legal education in the United States.

In 2005, he was elected president of the

AALS.

James W. paddock received his

undergraduate degree in 1951 and his

law degree in 1956 from the University

of Kansas. Following graduation, he was in

private practice in Lawrence until 1972,

when he was appointed District Judge of

the Seventh Judicial District of Kansas. He

served on the bench until his retirement

in 1994, although his retirement was

short-lived. The Kansas Supreme Court

appointed Judge Paddock as a Senior Judge

and he was assigned to hear cases with

the Kansas Court of Appeals. He has been

an active member of the bench and bar,

having served as president of the Kansas

District Judges Association, president of

the Douglas County Bar Association and as

a member of the Kansas Commission on

Judicial Qualification from 1988-1995.

In addition to his service to his profession,

Judge Paddock has actively served his

community and the state of Kansas. He

is a past member of the governing board

of the Kansas State High School Activities

Association, and he served as a member

of the board of education of USD 497 in

Lawrence for six years and its president

for two years. Judge Paddock has been

honored for his efforts in promoting

mental health within the community and

for his work with the Bert Nash Mental

Health Association. He is a past president

of the Douglas County Historical Society.

An active alumnus of the Law School,

Judge Paddock shared his extensive legal

experience with future generations of

KU lawyers by teaching a seminar in trial

practice for several years. He is a past

member of the KU Law Society Board of

Governors and a James Woods Green

Medallion honoree. As president of the

Ethel and Raymond F. Rice Foundation,

he has played an instrumental role in

building the School of Law through funding

for the Rice Scholarship Program, the

Rice Professorship, and a variety of other

programs.

Christopher “Kit” smith grew up

in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, attended

Wabash College in Indiana, and earned

a bachelor of arts degree in history and

Spanish in 1969. He entered KU Law

School the same year. An outstanding

student, he served as Articles Editor of the

Law Review, and graduated in 1972 as a

member of the Order of the Coif.

Smith’s career took him to Washington,

D.C. following graduation and he has

practiced there ever since. A recognized

expert in Federal Trade Commission and

Consumer Product Safety Commission

proceedings, Smith spent 30 years at Arent

Fox handling regulatory, public policy and

commercial law matters. He is the co-

author (with Barkley Clark) of The Law of

Product Warranties, a leading treatise on

the subject. Smith was managing partner

at Arent Fox during his last five years with

the firm. He joined Sonnenschein Nath

and Rosenthal three years ago, where

he continues to represent national and

international clients in many areas of the

law.

Smith has been very active in the life of

KU Law for more than 25 years. As one

of the first graduates of the “modern” law

school to work in a large Washington,

D.C. firm, Smith has helped many KU law

graduates secure their first jobs, including

Kansas Supreme Court Justice Carol Beier

and former Dean Steve McAllister. He

has been deeply involved in fund raising

for the law school since the 1980s, when

he assisted Dean Davis with Campaign

Kansas. He is a past president of the KU

Law Society Board of Governors and has

regularly attended board meetings over

the years. Smith has hosted numerous

events for the law school in Washington

and is a James Woods Green Medallion

honoree.

Westerbeke Honored for Teaching Excellence

A “Surprise Patrol” led by Chancellor Robert Hemenway

visited William Westerbeke during his Torts II class at the

start of the fall semester to present a $5000 Kemper Award

recognizing his excellence in teaching and advising.

The W. T. Kemper Fellowships for Teaching Excellence

recognizes outstanding teachers and advisers at KU as

determined by a seven-member selection committee. Now

in their 11th year, the awards have been supported by a

$650,000 in gifts from the William T. Kemper Foundation and

matching funds from the KU Endowment Association.

Westerbeke has taught at KU Law for over 32 years. His

teaching and research emphasis has been on tort law, including

the law of product liability. A dedicated teacher, known for

his accessibility to students, his teaching methods include the

use of a smile and a sense of humor rather than intimidation.

Head Wins Provost’s Award for Commitment to International Education

John Head received the 2006 Provost’s Award for

Leadership in International Education at KU’s annual faculty-

staff convocation September 7. The award recognizes

faculty on the Lawrence campus who have demonstrated

outstanding leadership in strengthening KU’s international

dimension in such areas as curriculum development, study

abroad programs, relationships with international partner

institutions and collaboration with international colleagues in

significant research and publications.

Professor Head joined the KU Law faculty in 1990. He has

been closely involved with student exchange programs in

Turkey, Ireland and England. Head was the first law faculty

member to mentor a Junior Faculty development Program

fellow. Head has helped with several legal education

projects in Indonesia, resulting in publication of two books

used by law schools throughout the country.

Glicksman Receives 2006 Moreau Award

Students and faculty gathered in the commons on the last

day of classes, May 4th for the annual presentation of the

Moreau award to be followed by the traditional Walk to

Old Green.

The Moreau Award honors Dean Frederick J. Moreau who

served as dean from 1937 through 1957. It is presented

to a faculty member “who, in the eyes of the students, has

been particularly helpful in advising and counseling with

students.” SBA President, Sam MacRoberts presented

the award to Rob Glicksman.

Professor Glicksman said he was both surprised and highly

gratified and hoped the award was a sign that he was

having the same kind of positive influence on students

that his own college and law school professors had on

him. “My decision to embark upon a teaching career was

based largely on my desire to provide a solid educational

experience for students and to spark their creativity”
