U.S. Law Schools News Brief

U.S. Law Schools News Brief, a continuously updated
stream of links to news releases issues by law schools
and their universities, is offered as a service to the legal
community by the St. Thomas University School of Law
in Miami.

St. Thomas Law School Dean Bob Butterworth said in
launching the News Brief service:

"Law schools across the country play important roles in their

communities and, in many ways, serve as the lightning rod
for critical emerging legal issues... Because our schools are so

dispersed geographically, the impact of law schools as a group

often is not so readily evident. We hope that the consolidation

of this information will help spotlight the contributions our law

schools make, not only to the legal profession but to society

in general."
