Recently Drusilla Bakert, Associate Dean for Admissions, Scholarships and Student Affairs, spoke with Ralph Derickson, UK Public Relations, about the law school admissions process. Following is a transcript of their conversation.

When does the College of Law consider candidates for admission?

We start accepting applications for admission on September 1 of the year prior to expected enroll-ment. We are right now accepting applications for the Fall 2000 entering class.

An admissions file is considered ready for Committee review when we have a completed application and personal statement, the candidate's LSDAS (Law School Data Assembly Service) report and any letters of recommendation the candidate has told us to expect. Our Committee meets once in November and once in December to consider applications that are complete early in the process. We then meet weekly beginning in mid-January and continuing until about the third week of April.

How does the College of Law admissions process work?

At UK Law we have an Admissions Committee made up of seven members: myself as chair, five faculty members and one student member. The Committee votes on every single admissions file. Before each meeting, all complete files not yet considered are divided among the seven members of the Admissions Committee. Each committee member reads all of their files in full, and every

THE ADMISSIONS

PROCESS

committee member reads a summary of each file to

be presented at the meeting. Each candidate's file is discussed and voted upon by the full Committee. This means that all information presented by a candidate is considered in the admissions process. But it also means that no candidate will be admitted without a favorable vote of a majority of the committee members.

What characteristics are sought by the Admissions Committee?

For most students, law school is the most difficult academic endeavor they will ever face. So, the first thing the Committee looks for is evidence that the candidate has been successful in academics in the past. We examine his or her undergraduate perfor-mance very carefully, the level of courses taken, the difficulty of the course work and major and grade trends by semester. If a student has one bad semester or has a bad freshman year, that won't necessarily keep them out of law school, if their grade trend has been upward. The candidate's LSAT score or scores are also very important, because the LSAT is our only standard measurement of predicted performance in law school. These are the" academic predictors" the Committee looks to first.

Do you recommend any particular major as the best preparation for law school?

No, I do not. Law school requires only that you know how to read, write and think, and a candidate can learn those things (or fail to learn them) in any

good undergraduate program. A student tends to do best in a major selected because they are interested in the subject matter, not because the major was recommended as good prepara-tion for law school. There are in fact 50 different undergraduate majors among the students in this year's entering class.

Should a candidate take the LSAT more than once?

A candidate should prepare carefully for the LSAT and plan to take it only once, if at all possible. The ABA requires for reporting purposes that all scores be averaged. So a candidate never wants to take the LSAT on a"flyer"just to see what it's like. However, many candidates who have a bad first experi-ence with the test improve their score when they retake the LSAT, and the admissions committee will see all scores and read any explanations for why the first score was lower.

How should a candidate prepare to take the LSAT?

By working over and over again on sample test questions. The LSAT does not ask for specific factual information. It tests skills a student should have developed in his or her under

-graduate training, such as reading comprehen-sion, analytical ability, and logical reasoning ability. The best way to prepare is to take sample LSAT questions repeatedly until you're sure of the logic behind the questions and how to sort through the answers. You need to quickly get to the one or two answers that look correct and be able to pick the correct one. It's also a matter of timing. Every test question counts whether the section is completed or not. Practice over and over again. Do the sections under timed conditions and also take the full test under testing conditions. The best prepa-ration materials are sold by the LSAC and are relatively inexpensive. I always recommend the Triple Prep Plus book, which includes

three actual LSATs with the answers to the questions and the reasoning behind the answers.

In addition to academic predictors, what does the Committee consider most important? The Committee also reads very carefully the candidate's personal statement and writing sample from the LSAT. Strong writing skills are required to be successful in both the practice of law and law school itself. The Committee also expects a candidate to pay

very close attention to spelling, grammar and syntax when preparing his or her personal statement. In fact, a candidate with strong writing skills may be admitted ahead of another student with better academic credentials who includes a poorly written, sloppily-edited personal statement. The Committee looks at undergraduate extracurricular activities, particularly leader

-ship roles, and whether or not the student was working during undergraduate school.

Students should be aware, though, that a long and recommendations, then that student is list of undergraduate activities will not make up admitted. If everything in the file indicates that for poor performance in the classroom. The the student probably would not be successful at Committee is also very concerned about any UK Law, then the student is denied. In most information in the candidate's file that raises cases, there are some things the committee likes an issue about their character and fitness to and some the members are concerned about. practice law. Most of these candidates will be placed on hold, In short, the six factors that are most important particularly if their file is considered very early to the Admissions Committee are: (1) under- in the process. In fact, many candidates will graduate performance; (2) LSAT score; (3) be placed on hold the first time they go writing skills; (4) life and work experiences, to Committee but admitted later in the activities and leadership roles;(S) evidence of admissions season.

the character and fitness to practice law; and As the Committee continues to consider new (6) letters of recommendation. The Committee

reads carefully every letter of recommendation received.

What kind of letters of recommendations does the Committee prefer?

Candidates should keep in mind that five of the seven committee members are law faculty, who are most interested in recommendation letters from undergraduate faculty. They want to know what the student is like in the classroom, what they bring to class discussion, how much attention they pay to class assignments and particularly their written and oral skills. They want to know that the student is prepared both mentally and academically for the rigors of law school. They also consider carefully letters from anyone who knows the candidate well and can speak to their character, work habits and desire to be an attorney, such as a mentor, employer, etc. However, faculty letters should be included for all candidates who are recent graduates or still attending undergraduate school.

When a file goes to the Admissions Committee, is a decision to accept or rejed the candidate always made right away?

No. When the Committee votes on an appli-cation, we make one of three decisions. If everything in the file is great, the undergraduate record and LSAT score, the writing samples

applications, we periodically will review the files on hold and make a final decision on some of those files. Students placed on hold are so advised after the Committee first considers their file, and are encouraged to continue to update their file with new information-an updated transcript, additional recommendations, infor-mation about new awards received, etc.-that will be considered by the Committee when their file is next reviewed.

Is diversity considered in the admissions process? Of course. We want the classroom experience here to reflect as many different viewpoints as possible, and that includes diversity on a number of bases-ethnic and racial diversity, regional diversity within Kentucky and around the nation, diversity of background and experience, etc. We look at academics first, and then take into consideration a candidate's ability to contribute to diversity at the College of Law.

What happens at the end of the admissions season?

On or about the third week of April, the Committee looks at everyone who is still on hold, and all complete files that have not yet been considered. The Committee then decides whom among those candidates to admit, whom to deny admission and whom to place on a waiting list to be held over the summer. If we

have candidates who drop out or who decide not to go to law school, we may take people off the wait list and admit them into the fall class. How does UK compare in getting its fair share of the top candidates?

This is a very competitive program. This year, for example, our applicant pool increased by 11 % while the national pool was up just over 1 %. The reputation of UK Law is going beyond Kentucky. We have done a good job of promot-ing what UK has to offer both to in-state and out-of-state candidates. A very high percentage of the students who choose to visit the school decide to come here because they like what they see.

How do you get the word out about the process for getting into the UK College of Law? In the fall, I travel around the state to virtually every undergraduate school in Kentucky to talk to students about the admissions process. These meetings are arranged through each school's pre-law advisor. In fact, at many schools I do an admissions program jointly with Jeri Torbeck, the dean for admissions at U of L. This is some-thing we do as a service for Kentucky students to make sure that the process is not mysterious to anyone.

Also in the fall UK Law holds a Minority Student Visitation Conference and an Open House for all interested candidates, scheduled this year for Saturday, October 23, and Saturday, November 6, respectively. In addition, I frequently meet with individual candidates interested in law school to answer their questions about UK Law. And with the help of the students on our Recruitment Committee, we give tours during the week to interested candidates and permit them to sit in on a first-year class to experience the great teaching that is a hallmark of UK Law.

UK Law is rated among the best schools in the country for 'friendliness' to women students. Why do you think UK received such a high rating for women?

The reason we got that great rating is that a lot of women have held a number of very important positions within the law school-editorships, memberships on moot court teams, positions in student government-and have been successful academically. It was also based on the number of women on our faculty and their prominence. There are a lot of women students, faculty and alumni who are making a real difference in this law school and in the Commonwealth. And our percentage of female students has been rising steadily, up to 4 7% in this year's entering class. I think the key to this place is that it is a law school that is friendly to everybody. Our student leaders include female students, minority students, nonresident students and older, returning students. Students help each other out. They don't rank each other based on how well they do in school. Faculty doors are open; the dean's door is open; the school administra-tors are here every day and our doors are always open to students.

One of the things that distinguishes UK Law is that our students have rejected cut throat, competitive behavior. Our students have said, "That's not appropriate. That's not what future members of the bar do to each other."Our stu-dents understand about forming professional relationships and know that they will need to work well with others to be successful lawyers. They carry a friendly, cooperative attitude into the classroom and into their social lives. They're a great bunch of students.

Do you have any final words of advice for candidates interested in law school?

Yes. Please contact me if you have any questions. The best way to reach me is by e-mail at [email protected], but you can also call me at 606-257-1678. If a parent would like to call me to talk about their child, I am happy to accommodate them, but it is best if the candidate calls me directly. Privacy laws prohibit my shar-ing information about a candidate's application with anyone else. Finally, the best way to learn about UK Law is to visit us. We are always happy for anyone interested in law school to come and tour our college, get a feel for the friendly atmosphere and sit in on a class. We think this is a great place to learn the law and we are always happy to welcome visitors. Call us at 606-257-1678 if you would like to schedule a visit, or meet with me.

Even with a crystal ball it would be impossible to predict what lies ahead for the legal researcher in the next millennium.

on!: constant.on th legal..,resear-e horizon is technological change. Legal research tools change. Legal research media change. Legal research topics change. What will not change is that legal research will be inextricably tied to books and libraries for the next twenty years.

As the amount of legal information continues to explode, a legal researcher must examine the quantity and quality of information. This evaluation process is clouded by the chang­ ing cast of characters in the long playing drama known as "The World of Legal Publishing."Further hampering any serious effort at interpreting the value of legal information is the tidal wave of facts and figures which arrive daily via the Internet. (See Robert Berring's

Finding the Law

for

an analysis of some of these trends.)

Ultimately legal researchers are faced with the question as to which legal research tools can best be utilized to find the most recent and accurate information at the most rea­ sonable price. Legal research tools change. KeyCite, a more recent West Group case verifying tool, should not be disregarded. Attorneys who fail to update their legal research, by using both Shepard's and KeyCite, stand in great peril.

Legal research has traditionally been bound to its medium. A legal researcher is faced with the dilemma of choosing between many different legal media which are changing. Books and traditional paper

resources will continue to be the main course on any legal researcher's plate, for years to come, because many legal sources w:i!Lexist only in-Print CD-ROM.-th Web

or DVD are formats, however, which also provide a wealth of legal research support and cannot be ignored.

The scope or focus of legal research is also changing. Legal research topics today include an emphasis on administrative law, interdisciplinary research, and interna­ tional law. Law libraries are hard-pressed to keep up with the demands to purchase specialized materials and services in these areas. Future practitioners cannot afford

to lose opportunities for expanded client service that these new fields of legal research provide.

Study carrels wired and connected to the World Wide Web have already been built. Multimedia presentations are routinely utilized by our faculty. An electronic class­ room may soon become a reality. A major component of our legal research class instruction deals with the technological changes which face today's legal researcher. Even though the legal community as a whole has been slow to embrace change,

How can the University of Kentucky

College of Law Library assist our alumni and friends in this changing world of legal research? Our law librarians have been taught to evaluate the source of legal information. They know how to find infor­ mation that is accurate and timely. Our librarians have kept abreast of publisher mergers, and they stand ready to join with others who oppose any restrictions which impede the free flow of public access to legal information. Finally, our law librarians are ready to provide instruction for any legal research tool or to recommend a particular legal research format. (University of

The first Kentucky Prosecutors'Institute was held September 15-19, 1999, at the College of Law and was made possible by a grant from Attorney General Ben Chandler (Class of '86). The participants were 44 prosecutors from county and Commonwealth attorneys' offices throughout the state.

John Forgy, a 1996 UK College of Law graduate who is now an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney in Laurel County, believed he knew the law. \\That he needed, to better equip himself to help crime victims and serve his community, was something that until September could only be gained through many years of experience as a prosecutor-hands-on trial experience. Through the Kentucky

Prosecutors' Institute, a cooperative program of the Kentucky Attorney General's

office and the College of Law, Forgy now feels much more confident about his courtroom skills. Modeled after the national training courses offered at the federally funded National Advocacy Center, the Institute is an intense, five-day program.

It gave Forgy and other Kentucky prosecutors the opportunity to hear state prosecutors, national speakers and College faculty discuss such topics as grand jury

Attorney General Ben Cha11dler (Class of '86)

proceedings, preliminary hearings, victim/ defendant competency, Miranda warnings, jury selection, evidence presentation, and a myriad of other basic courtroom activities. The Institute covered Kentucky case law, Kentucky rules of evidence, and Kentucky criminal law statutes.

"The tips and hands-on experience gained at the Institute were invaluable," says Forgy. "It's simply the best thing like this I've ever attended. How to emphasize a point and what to do with your hands while addressing a jury" are just a few practical courtroom experiences Forgy said he gained during the Institute. But equally valuable, he added, is the nearly four-inch thick handbook put together by staff members in the Attorney General's Office. Forgy indicated he wished he had the information in the booklet when he first started his job. Forgy's boss, Tom Handy, Class of 1969, and Laurel County Commonwealth's Attorney, was an Institute faculty member. Handy, who taught a course on prosecutors' dealings with the media during trials, said the Institute will certainly increase longevity among prosecutors' staffs. "½'hen people enjoy their jobs, they do a better job and stay on the job longer,"he said.

The Prosecutors'Institute and the handbook were the work of Tamra Gormley, Class of '88, and Susan Blake, Class of '83, both assistants to Attorney General Chandler. Gormley is the director of the Victim's Advocacy Division, and Blake is director of the Kentucky Prosecutor's Institute. Chandler, who said Kentucky is now the sixth state in the nation to offer such a prosecutors training program, commended his staff members on the Institute's success."This program will increase dramatically the efficiency and effectiveness of prosecutors in our state's courtrooms and will go a long way in seeing that guilty people are con-victed." A major benefit to the Commonwealth, Chandler added, is that it will create camaraderie among our state prosecutors' staffs and help the state retain experienced prosecutors.

The Prosecutors'Institute was funded by a special appropriation requested by Attorney General Chandler from the 1998 General Assembly. The funding was from asbestos litigation handled by the Office of the Attorney General. The pro-ceeds were also used to install high technology trial equipment in the College of Law's courtroom.

Student Activities

Student Bar Association

The 1999-2000 Student Bar Association has a b sy y ar ahead. This is the first year that officer eleeti0ns were held in e spring, which gave the officers a omplete su,mmer to prepare..ioF the upcoming year. This preparation inc uded a retreat held in August to build unity and te s irit. In addition, President Kevin Brown, Vice President Jaso Otis and former Pr sident Jennifer Bryant traveled to the American ,Ba J\ssociation(s ual convention in Atlanta, Ge01:gia. The-officers learned howba associations operate at other sclnools, and they were able to plan

some events with Salmon P. Chase and the University of Louisville law schools. As a result, the first annual "Barrister's Bowl" was held the morning before the UK and U of L football game. The bad news is UK lost; the good news is we will travel to Louisville to participate in a Habi t for Humanity building project. We plan to make t ·s game a tradition between the two schools with the goal f forming friendships within the legal community. The SBA will continue the tradi ·ons of previous years. Last year, the SBA organized several so al activities such as the Cardozo Open Golf Scramble, Race Judi ta, Barrister's Ball and tailgating at UK home football games. This year, these activities include two planned blood drives, a Thanksgiving food drive to benefit God's Pantry, a clothing drive to benefit the Hope Center and Salvation Army, and support for the Angel Tree program, a program that provides holiday gifts to disadvantaged children. In addition, the SBA organizes the Libel Show Auction, which includes an auction to raise money for the College of Law Student Public Interest Law Foundation. This organization enables students to be paid for public interest legal work in the summer. Last year's Libel Sho auction was the most successful in the history of the College o Law, raising over $5,000 to help fund grants for the projects of 26 students. The SBA looks forward to carrying on these worthwhile traditions while continuing to provide new and innovative opportunities for aw students in the coming year.

Advocacy Board Continues Building a Tradition of Excellence

... The College of Law's Trial Advocacy Board (TAB) continued In November of 1999, TAB will host the first annual building its reputation for excellence in mock trial

competi-tions with another successful year. For the second year in a row, U.K.'s National Mock Trial Team, coached

by

Professor Allison Connelly and former regional champion Jason Reed, earned top honors at the American College ofTrial Lawyers National Mock Trial Regional Competition. The winning team, comprised of third year law students Beth Bowell and Lisa Wilson, were helped by teammates Jeff Fleischacker and Kelly Kaiser. In order to bring home the regional champi-onship, Wilson and Bowell competed against fifteen other teams from Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. The team garnered top honors after performing in five full trials over the course of two and a half days. Winning the regional ranks U.K.'s National Trial Team as one of the top twenty-four mock trial teams in the country. In the last two years, the ATLA Mock Trial Teams, coached

by

Professor Darlene Goring, have also been successful. The teams have finished in the top eight at the American Trial Lawyers Association Regional Trial Competition.

Kentucky Mock Trial Tournament between teams of students from Kentucky's three law schools. The brainchild of Professor Connelly, the intrastate trial competition provides an excellent opportunity for all Kentucky law students to

compete for personal and school honors while gaining practical trial skills. The competition will also provide an

opportunity for future colleagues from the three Kentucky

law schools to network with one another and with members of the bar. Money generously donated by the Kentucky Bar

Association's two outstanding attorneys for 1999, Charles E.

English and Joe C. Savage, will be awarded to the winning

championship team.

Alumni from the College of Law have been quick to recognize, support and reward the top mock trial advocates. In 1999, Beth Bowell received the James H. Lucas Trial Advocacy Award, Angela Mullins garnered the McCoy

& West Trial Advocacy Award, and Lisa Wilson and Wes Browne received the Savage, Garmer & Elliott Trial

Remarks by John Y Brown, Jr. on the occasion of the induction of John Y Brown, Sr. into the Alumni Hall of Fame of the University of Kentucky College of Law

Let me tell you about my daddy. I hope I can inspire you with his life story as he inspired me and many, many others. He was a very unusual man born in Union County, the son of a tenant farmer. He did not have- a name for six weeks. It just happened that the governor of Kentucky at the time was John Young Brown, so he was named for

him. My father studied at Centre College. He was well read in all the Shakespeare plays and well versed in the Bible, both of which prepared

him for the career that he said when he was five years old he knew he wanted to be ... a· trial lawyer. During college, he joined the Chatauqua where he introduced William Jennings Bryant. As a result he had a flair for public speaking that few of us have ever been exposed to. My father began his political career in 1927 when he ran for state representative. Although he lost that race, he won in 1929 and 1931, and became, at that time, the youngest person to serve as Speaker of the House.

He was later elected to the House of Representatives in 1931, 1945, 1953; and in 1961 and 1965 he served as majority floor leader. He was elected to Congress in 1932 and served during the historic one hundred days of the Roosevelt Administration. As a state repre-sentative and as a congressman, Dad was instrumental in writing bills that created the Daniel Boone National Forest, Cumberland Falls State Park, the 1966 Kentucky Civil Rights Act, and during the 1950s he was a pioneering supporter of the state sales tax to support education. In proposing the civil rights legislation, which was considered the most far-reach-ing ever passed in a southern state up to that time, Dad said" I recognize, as most of you do, that our side is a lost cause, but I also know that when no one

will speak for a lost cause, good ca uses will die."

Dad was not just another lawyer. He was a trial lawyer who has been unknown to our state in our lifetime. It is hard to talk about your father in such

glowing terms, but I would like to quote others. Harry B. Miller, Jr., who started out practicing with my father, said he"was the best at cross-examination and final argurnen t in front of the jury. We've never known a trial lawyer like John Young Brown". I ran in to F. Lee Bailey one day, and when I asked whether he had ever heard of my father, he said, "Have I heard of John Y.

Brown? He was the Clarence Darrow of the South."When you look at some the things he accomplished, I think you

will agree.

He was a man unafraid to take on any challenge. I remember Dad and myself being in an ele-vator with Coach"Bear"Bryant

after we lost the Tennessee game, 7 to 0, and we had been undefeated. Dad said to Coach Bryant,"Coach, I'll tell you what you did wrong."When you are that bold, I don't think you are afraid. I remember his first case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Justice Goldberg, was shuffling through papers and not paying attention. Dad said, "Justice Goldberg, I would appreciate it

if you would put those papers down and listen to what I've got to say."There was some embarrassment, but you know something, you've got to be different sometimes in order to get attention. That's what a trial

lawyer is: getting your message across, and that is the ultimate test of our law in this land.

I remember a case in West Liberty where the prosecution couldn't find the person who had been slain. My Dad repre-sented the defendant charged with the slaying. Speaking to the jury, Dad said, "Let me tell you something about this fellow

that they have said is missing. We have reason to believe that he is going to be here at 12 o'clock today. And I would sug-gest you all at 12 o'clock to watch that door. I suspect he is going to walk in here."Earlier, at

court hour, he had told the jurors that they had to believe beyond a reasonable doubt. Well, every member of that jury was glued to that door about five minutes before noon. At 12 o'clock Dad said,"There you are.

If you hadn't believed beyond a reasonable doubt, all of you would not have watched the door." And he got an acquittal. I think Bob Houlihan once said that John Young Brown was so passionate about the representa-tion of a criminal defendant that he thought they ought to have a medal instead of a sentence.

Governor Edward Breathitt described my Father, John Young Brown, at his funeral some four-teen years ago. He said,"In his

independence, he performed great public service. He raised issues that needed to be raised. He supported causes that needed to be supported. He

asked questions that needed to be asked. He also supported unpopular causes and unpopu-lar defendants in the courtroom

believing that the law should protect as well as punish; that

its protection is for all of us

without regard for popular opinion or financial circum-stances." And so my Father chose to be a pioneer. He chose

to be a free spirit. He chose to

be independent. He ran for public office all his life and I

think if you look back over the

course of his history since his

birth, you can say that John

Young Brown in many ways has had as much impact on political

life and our lives in Kentucky as any one person. He was the first

one to put forward the sales tax

in Kentucky. Governor Breathitt will tell you he led the first fight

for civil rights legislation in our state. He was the first one to go

on television in a political

cam-paign. He was the first to use a

helicopter in his campaigns. He was a man in his own world, and he always looked for tomorrow. So today in accep~g this award I say, as someone said when Lincoln passed, that

all in all we should not look for

Hall of Fame

ROBERT F. HOULIHAN

Remarks by Richard C. Stevenson

on the occasion of the induction of Robert F Houlihan into the Alumni

Hall of Fame of the University of Kentucky College of Law

It's a great pleasure and honor to be able to introduce Robert F. Houlihan, a person with whom I have practiced law for the last 27

years. Bob Houlihan is the senior partner of the law firm of Stoll, Keenan & Park where he has

practiced law since 1946. After

graduating from the UK College of Law in 1941, Bob, like many young men of his era, went off to fight in the war. He's fond of telling peo-ple that that's World War II and not the Ovil War. After some very distinguished military service, Major Houlihan returned to Lexington to practice law. He practiced for a short period of time with Ed Prichard and Phil Ardery before joining the firm

which would very shortly take the name of Stoll, Keenan & Park.

Early on Bob specialized in the practice of labor and employment law. By the 1960's Bob was already recognized as one of the best management labor lawyers in the Midwest. As an indicator of the high regard in which he's held by labor and employment lawyers both locally and nationally, he was just notified within the last few days that he's been elected as a

Fellow of the College of Labor and

Employment Lawyers of the American Bar Association, only one of three Kentucky lawyers to ever be so honored. He's also previously been elected as a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers.

While Bob's contribution to the

field of labor and employment law is well known to most Kentucky lawyers, at least the older Kentucky lawyers, what may not be so well known are some of Bob's contributions in other areas, in non-legal areas as well as legal areas. Bob was one of a handful of persons who decided in the early 1960's to purchase and restore the Shaker community of Pleasant Hill near Harrodsburg, a project which is ongoing and which has resulted at this time in the pur-chase of over 2700 acres of the original Shaker property and the complete restoration of 33 Shaker buildings. It is now the largest national historic landmark of its kind in the United States. He is a former director of the Bluegrass Trust for Historic Preservation, is a former president of the UK Library Associates, and currently is a member of its Executive Committee. He was a member of the ten-member delegation from the United States that was sent to observe the first multi-party elec-tion in the Yugoslavian Croatian Republic in April of 1990. He was

a founding and is still an active member of the Kentucky Bar Association's Lawyers Helping Lawyers Committee for which he was awarded the Trusted Servant Award in 1996. He is a charter member of the KBA's Of Counsel Committee and former Chairman of that association's Senior Lawyer Section. He is a senior advisor to the Fayette County Bar Association, and that association awarded him the HenryT. Duncan Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996. He was awarded the Kentucky Bar Association's Bar Service Award in 1998. He has been a lifetime supporter of this law school and for a long period of time, among other things, served on its Board ofVisitors. One aspect of Bob's service which even those of us who were close associates and law partners didn't know about him was his World War II service. We knew that he had served, but we didn't really know what he did. Bob was a member of the Office of Strategic Services, or OSS as it is better known, the records of which were highly classified until just very recently. We would never have known what he did had his old unit not decided to honor him with a banquet in Lexington a couple of years ago right after the records of the unit had been declassified. What these records reveal is that Captain (later Major) Houlihan commanded an all Greek unit formerly known as Company C of the 2761st Special Reconnaissance Battalion of the

OSS. It was one of the famous "operational groups"whose mis-sions included intelligence col-lection and the arming, training, and leading of partisan groups in paramilitary commando operations behind the Nazi lines in Yugoslavia, Greece, and Italy. This unit was a fairly destructive bunch of folks. Comprised of only 169 men, to give you an idea of some of the damage they did, this was in Greece alone-they blew up 13 bridges, 11 locomotives, 72 trucks, 2 power plants, 3 pillboxes, 2 armored cars, 2 mineshafts, 1 artillery piece, 1 blockhouse, hundreds of boxcars and telegraph poles, and disabled thousands of miles of railroad tracks. Most of us would never have heard about this war record if the survivors of that unit hadn't had their banquet in his honor.

He's never been one to promote or even talk about himself so it's altogether fitting that he be hon-ored here tonight for this life of service. Would you please join us in honoring Robert F. Houlihan as a new member of the College of Law Alumni Hall of Fame.

JANET L. STUMBO

Remarks by Allison Connelly on

the occasion of the induction of

Justice Janet L. Stumbo into the Alumni Hall of Fame of the

University of Kentucky College of Law

Tonight I have the pleasure of sharing with you the journey of a coal miner's daughter to a seat on the Kentucky Supreme Court. It is qwte a journey. Justice Janet Stumbo is a native of Floyd County and a coal miner's daughter. She graduated from Belfry High School and Morehead State University. In 1980 she obtained her law degree from the University of Kentucky College of Law. She must have known that she was going to be in the court system because her first job out of law school was as a staff attorney for the Kentucky Court of Appeals. She left the Court of Appeals in 1982 and entered private practice with the Prestonsburg firm of Turner, Paul and Stumbo.

Justice Stumbo has always been a person of the people, and her private practice reflected that fact. Ever the public servant, she became an Assistant County Attorney for Floyd County for three years. For many years she demonstrated her personal concern for individuals who have the misfortune of living in poverty by sitting on the Board of Directors of the Appalachian Research and Defense Fund, a civil legal services organization that serves the 18 poorest counties in Eastern Kentucky. In 1989 Justice Stumbo became a partner in the law firm of Stumbo, DeRossett and Pillersdorf. Now, she was already a partner with Ned Pillersdorf because he is her husband. Still she didn't stay with the law firm too long because in that same year she became only the second woman in Kentucky history to serve on Kentucky Court of Appeals. As the first woman to be elected to the Court of Appeals from the 7th Judicial District, her 1989 race is symbolic of Justice Stumbo's grit, determination and leadership. In a spirited race in which she was the underdog, and in which she was criticized because she did not take her husband's last name, Justice Stumbo won with the slogan "She won't be one of the boys."Two years later, Justice Stumbo was elected, without opposition, to a full eight year term on the Court of Appeals. Yet this coal miner's daughter had greater dreams.

In 1993 Justice Stumbo became the first woman elected by the people to the Kentucky Supreme Court. In 1996, she was elected without opposition to a full eight year term on that court. This lack of opposition in a highly political district is all the more remarkable because she is a woman.

Justice Stumbo has repeatedly been recognized as a role model for women throughout the Commonwealth. Somehow, she has successfully juggled her professional life with her life as a devoted mother and spouse.

She received the Justice Award from the KY Women Advocates in 1991, the Women in State Government Network's, the Bull's Eye Award in 1995, the first Women's Achievement

Award given by the Kentucky Bar Association for Women in 1996. This award not only recognized Justice Stumbo's

professional excellence in the practice of law, but also recog-nized she had opened up the field for other women to seek political office; to not be afraid of reaching for the stars; and to not be just one of the boys. Justice Stumbo's career is marked by excellence. She was a caring practicing attorney. She is now an excellent jurist as evidenced by her output of legal opinions and decisions.

However, as her husband Ned would point out, her greatest decisions were to have her three daughters, Nancy, Sarah, and Samantha. In short, I would

have to say Justice Stumbo,"You are a role model for all people. You are a mother, a spouse and a woman who has never forgot-ten your roots and the poverty of your district. You've never lost that approachability and that common touch." And as you ended every campaign speech, you used to tell us that this coal miner's daughter, if elected,

would do her best to make you proud. Well, you've made us all proud. So I ask you join us in honoring her in her induction to the UK College of Law Alumni Hall of Fame.
