AGENDA: A Life of Contributions for All Time: Symposium in Honor of David H. Getches

On April 26-27, 2012, Colorado Law honored David H. Getches with a symposium to celebrate his life and legacy of trailblazing scholarship. “A Life of Contributions for All Time” featured a keynote address by Distinguished Professor Charles Wilkinson entitled, “Hero for the People, Hero for the Land and Water: Reflections on the Enduring Contributions of David Getches.” Top scholars in the fields of natural resources, water, and American Indian law reflected on Dean Getches’ contributions and their own insights into these fields, including Professor John Leshy, John Echohawk, Professor Carole Goldberg, Professor Joe Sax, Professor Rebecca Tsosie, Justice Greg Hobbs, Professor William Rogers, and others. During the symposium, Colorado Law\u27s Wise Law Library unveiled the David H. Getches Collection, a digital archive of his scholarship, academic speeches, congressional testimony, and litigation. The symposium reflected the broad range of David’s interests and impact. For example, Professor Armando Guevara-Gil of Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú spoke of the geographic reach of David’s work, including his volunteer trip to South America to meet with Peru’s dictatorial President Alberto Fujimori in a successful effort to convince him not to sign a bill that would have resulted in the dispossession of the water rights of indigenous peoples. Former U.S. Senator Tim Wirth spoke of many challenges facing our country and concluded that David’s “life’s work demonstrated that the law, the legislature, and the courts can be made to work for the disadvantaged, the disenfranchised, and the environment.” The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the University of Colorado Law Review (Volume 84; Issue One (2013))

Franklin Pierce Law Center: Leading the Way in Legal Education for New Hampshire

[Excerpt] This issue of the Pierce Law Review is the first devoted entirely to the practice of law in New Hampshire. This venture is appropriate because the Franklin Pierce Law Center is the only law school in the State. We are truly New Hampshire’s law school. Our Trustees, faculty, staff, and students feel this responsibility profoundly. Pierce Law serves as both a state law school and a national and international school. While we send a greater percentage of our graduates out of state than any other law school in the country except one, our alumni comprise fully one-third of the lawyers in New Hampshire. (I should point out, too, that we have almost one thousand alumni in over one hundred countries.

100 Years of Women at Fordham: A Foreword and Reflection

As we reflect back on 100 Years of Women at Fordham Law School, we have much to celebrate. In contrast to the eight women who joined 312 men at the Law School in 1918—or 2.6 percent of the class—women have constituted approximately 50 percent of our matriculants for decades. Life for women at the Law School has come a long way in more than just numbers. For example, in 1932, the Law School recorded the first known practice of “Ladies’ Day,” a day on which some professors would call on women, who otherwise were expected to be silent in their classes. In this context, one can only imagine the experience of Mildred Fischer, the first woman to serve as Editor-in-Chief of the Fordham Law Review, in 1936. We have come a long way and, thankfully, it is no longer unusual to see a woman voted Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review and our other scholarly journals. Women also have rightly claimed their place at the head of the Student Bar Association and countless student organizations. From the very start, however, women have succeeded as scholars and advocates at the Law School and in their careers. It is in this context that I express my gratitude to the Fordham Law Review Online for creating this space for women—faculty, alumnae, and students— to share their scholarship. Delightfully, there is no umbrella theme or limitation on the scope of their contributions; rather, they have followed their own intellectual curiosity and passions to create this terrific collection of Essays. The short precis that follow are designed to lure the reader to discover more about their keen ideas and brilliant minds
