Washburn University School of Law Alumni Association
Washburn University School of Law is at the forefront of legal education, training and graduating quality lawyers each year that practice throughout the world. We currently have alumni residing in not only each of the 50 states, but also 19 foreign countries. As I start my term as President of our Alumni Association, I believe that we are uniquely poised to join Dean Tom Romig's efforts to "shine the light" on Washburn University School of Law on a global scale.
I encourage you to become a member of the School of Law Alumni Association. Your membership means a stronger Washburn University School of Law through its alumni programming and services to prospective and current students and, in particular, to you, our alumni. The Alumni Association is here to support the law schools reputation as an elite institution.
Highlights from Washburn Law for 2007 are just a few examples of uncommon achievements becoming common.
- Students from 40 states and six foreign countries make up the current student body.
- The legal analysis, research, and writing program at Washburn Law has been ranked in the top 30 nationwide for two consecutive years by U.S. News and World Report.
- Our Moot Court program is currently ranked 27th in the nation.
- Washburn reaffirmed its status as a leader in legal education, holding the first Humanizing Legal Education Symposium. Leading scholars in the field and interested law teachers, representing approximately 50 law schools, 30 states, Canada, and Australia, came to Topeka for a conference experience many described as one of the best they had ever attended.
Washburn Law continues its long tradition of providing a high quality legal educational experience. We have much to be proud of and much to brag about. I urge each of our alumni to assume their role as an ambassador for our law school to shine the light brightly on Washburn Law's innovative leadership in legal education. Through this endeavor, Washburn University School of Law will continue to be a rising star in educating and training lawyers to protect our freedom and system of justice.
Sincerely,
Stephen W. Cavanaugh '80
President, Washburn University School of Law Alumni Association
