UDSL Alumnus Tim Young Appointed Ohio Public DefenderWhen Timothy Young graduated from the University of Dayton School of Law in 1992, his classmates voted him the most likely to become a criminal defense lawyer. “I think they knew me better than I knew myself,” said Young, who was appointed the new public defender for the state of Ohio in September. Read this story What Can Law Schools Do Better? Two independent studies on legal education published their findings in March. While employing different methodologies, their recommendations were almost identical: Law schools over-emphasize teaching legal analysis and doctrinal knowledge and virtually ignore teaching professional skills and values. Dean Lisa Kloppenberg tackles this concern in her article, We Need to Address the Gulf between Legal Education and Practice, which appears in the latest issue of The Complete Lawyer. Read this story UDSL Alumna Takes Law Practice into Cyberspace UDSL Alumna Stephanie Kimbro (c/o ’03) has turned the practice of law into a virtual reality. In June of 2006, Kimbro and her husband, Benjamin Norman, a computer programmer, launched her online practice in North Carolina, the only one in the state, according to the North Carolina Bar Association. Read this story Red Mass Homily Teaches Humility, Invocation, and Cooperation Father Chris Wittmann, S.M., led the Dayton legal community in a Red Mass held at the U.D. Chapel on September 22.
