Brief Mentions  Judge Walter Rice and award recipient Judge John Kessler at the alumni awards luncheon during Alumni Weekend 2004 UDSL grad and former editor of the Law Review, Dale A. Riedel, Major, USAF, Area Defense Counsel at Bolling Air Force Base writes that this summer he will begin work at the Air Force’s only court of appeals to be the Honors Law Clerk for the Chief Judge. “I’ve never forgotten the UD philosophy of applying for judicial clerkships and thought it could never happen. There are only three clerks in the Air Force and fortunately I was selected.” Professor Brenner's paper, "Should Online Defamation Be Criminalized?" was recently listed on SSRN's Top Ten download list for "LSN Science, Technology & Innovation Research Papers." Brenner is also working on two books for top academic publishers this summer. Tom Rudolph, UDSL ’82, a civil servant environmental attorney at AFMC Headquarters (at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) since 1988, published an article in the Air Force Law Review last fall, "Terrorism, Natural Disasters and Environment Reporting." It discusses the various environmental release/incident reporting rules promulgated under Federal law and whether they would be triggered by terrorist events and natural disasters. He has been invited to attend the Joint US-Russian Rule of Law Conference in St. Petersburg, Russia in November, which will discuss 12 areas of law, including terrorism law. The Dayton Intellectual Property Law Association (DIPLA) has revised its constitution and by-laws to allow for student membership, open to current law students. Student members will have the same privileges as active members, except for voting and holding office. DILPA President Matt Jenkins said he hopes the change will allow for closer interaction among practicing attorneys and the future of the profession. A UDSL reception for Cincinnati-area alumni was held on May 17 coinciding with OSBA's convention. Thirty alumni and guests attended the reception, held at the Havana Martini Club downtown, and everyone seemed to have a terrific time. Thanks to Prof. Cochran who catalyzed the event and to the Career Services Office for making the arrangements.  Mike Petrucci, UDSL '93; Courtney Brooks, UDSL '07; and Patrick O'Neill, UDSL '93 enjoy the Cincinnati Alumni Reception  |
