THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA® SCHOOL OF LAW

2025 EDITION

About the Artist Recognized across her home state of Alabama as “The Artlady,” Sonya Clemons earned her moniker by painting murals throughout North Alabama, transforming blank walls into beautiful pieces that tell the stories of individual communities and their identities. Most recently, she was commissioned to create a piece for the 92nd Anniversary Commemoration of the Scottsboro Boys, now on display at the Scottsboro Boys Museum.

Sonya is also the founder of Pictures of Hope, a program in Jackson County that offers art classes to adults and children involved in the Jackson County Drug Court and Family Wellness Court. Through this program, participants gain a positive outlet for selfexpression, stress relief, and confidence building, using creativity as a tool for personal growth and healing.

No matter what surface she’s painting on—walls, city sidewalks, a simple canvas—“The Artlady” creates images focused on Southern culture that are full of color and life.

On the Cover: Seeds of Service, a mixed-media illustration by Sonya Clemons, was selected as the winning piece in Alabama Law’s art competition for the 25th anniversary of the Public Interest Institute.

Inspired by the anniversary theme, “Cultivating a Lifelong Commitment to Service,” the piece highlights the legal community’s vital role in fostering a just and thriving society. An education at Alabama Law equips students with the skills and dedication to become servant leaders, empowering them to make a meaningful impact in their communities—regardless of their chosen career path.

From the DEAN'S DESK Dear Alumni and Friends, Thank you for your ongoing support of our extraordinary community at Alabama Law. It has been a remarkable year for our Law School as we continue to recruit and retain exceptional faculty, attract some of the brightest students in our history, and prepare graduates who are ready to lead across Alabama and throughout the nation.

This year, we welcomed six new faculty members with expertise spanning corporate finance, patent and drug law, and federal Indian law. We also appointed our firstever Associate Dean of Experiential Learning, Jeff Baker, who now oversees our law school clinics and is strengthening connections across our professional development programs. These include externships, internships, public interest, moot court, and trial advocacy, along with our seven clinics—each continuing to deliver exceptional, hands-on learning opportunities for our students.

In the past year alone, 12 of our Appellate Advocacy Clinic students presented oral arguments in six different cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, while our Civil Law Clinic students successfully defended a $250,000 claim in a three-day jury trial. These experiences exemplify the real-world preparation that defines an Alabama Law education.

Everywhere we look, Alabama Law students, alumni, faculty, and staff are making a difference in communities across our state and nation. Lawyers Render Service.

This phrase—coined by civil rights leader Fred Gray and adopted as the Alabama State Bar’s motto—remains a guiding principle for our profession. In April, the Bar unveiled a life-size bronze statue of Mr. Gray outside its building in Montgomery, honoring his courageous work to advance justice and equality. His life stands as a powerful example of the ideals that continue to unite our Alabama Law community.

This year also marked the 25th anniversary of the Public Interest Institute—founded

by Professor Pam Pierson and a small group of students who sought to expand our impact across Alabama and beyond. Their legacy endures in the countless alumni who continue to serve others through their work in law, public service, and leadership.

I am deeply grateful for the many ways each of you contributes to the strength of our Alabama Law community—by mentoring students, supporting events, and investing in our shared future. You are the difference makers behind the success of our state and nation’s future leaders, and the reason Alabama Law continues to stand among the top public law schools.

Respectfully,

William S. Brewbaker III Dean and Professor of Law

BRIEFCASE

Professor Russell Gold places a hood on Malcolm Lowe during commencement.

Celebrating the Class of 2025 On Sunday, May 4, The University of Alabama School of Law honored 162 graduates during its annual commencement ceremony at Coleman Coliseum. Among the graduates, 147 received Juris Doctor degrees, including 11 students who earned dual JD/LLM degrees in taxation or business transactions. An additional 10 graduates received standalone LLM degrees, and five students received a Juris Master in taxation.

Chief Justice Sarah Hicks Stewart of the Supreme Court of Alabama delivered the commencement address. Stewart was elected as an Associate Justice on the Court in 2018 and Chief Justice in 2024.

“You are stepping into a profession that doesn’t just interpret the law— it shapes the world,” said Chief Justice Stewart. “Behind every statute, every precedent, every verdict is a human life—someone seeking justice, someone looking for hope, someone needing to be heard. And now, more than ever, the world needs lawyers who lead not with ego, but with empathy. Lawyers… who understand that justice is not a given—it is earned, upheld, and fought for.”

Natalie Simon delivered the valedictory address. She and her classmate, Liz Garri, both finished at the top of the class and were honored for their outstanding performances as law students. Brandon Marsh, president of the Student Bar Association, also offered a reflection, and the national anthem was performed by fellow graduate Briana Murphy.

... And Welcoming the Class of 2028 This fall, Alabama Law welcomed the Class of 2028 into the Law School community. Drawn from a competitive pool of approximately 1,750 applicants, this incoming class consists of 140 students who represent 21 states and have studied at 49 different colleges and universities. In total, members of this class speak 10 different languages and dialects from around the world and have studied, lived, or worked in 25 countries outside of the U.S. Classes officially began on August 18, but these 1Ls got a headstart during a week-long orientation beginning on August 11. During orientation, they heard presentations from faculty, the Student Bar Association, and other members of the Alabama Law community; had time to socialize and get to know each other; took a trip to Montgomery to visit the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama and the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum; and completed a one-credit-hour introductory class that prepared them to hit the ground running at the start of the semester.

Faculty to Serve as Fred Gray Institute Fellows At its inaugural symposium in March, the Fred D. Gray Institute for Human and Civil Rights appointed Associate Dean Jeff Baker and Professor Bryan Fair to its second cohort of Gray Institute Fellows. The Fellows are named to two-year terms during which they provide leadership, foster external relationships to benefit the Institute, and work on projects focused on the Institute’s initiatives: medical ethics, voting rights, gerrymandering, human and civil rights law, and ensuring equal access to quality education.

Associate Dean Jeff Baker (far right) was a co-organizer and panelist at the Fred D. Gray Institute for Human & Civil Rights inaugural symposium in March.

Dean Baker served on the organizing committee and was a panelist at the symposium, while Professor Fair delivered a speech entitled Courage Under Fire: The Life and Legacy of Mr. Fred Gray. Of Professor Fair’s speech, Symposium Director Dr. David Fleer said, “[Bryan] Fair presented a tour de force summary of Attorney Gray’s legal oeuvre and impact, then set forth constructive means toward a hopeful future.”

Fred D. Gray is one of the nation’s foremost civil rights attorneys, having represented Mrs. Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Congressman John Lewis, and hundreds more in the Civil Rights Movement—Dr. King once called Gray “the movement’s lawyer.” He also successfully represented Vivian Malone and James Hood in their efforts to enroll at The University of Alabama in 1963, playing an indispensable role in the legal desegregation of public education in Alabama and throughout the United States. In 2022, The University of Alabama presented Gray with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree at the Law School commencement ceremony in recognition of his impactful career.

The Institute was founded to remember and study the legacy of Gray’s work and the Civil Rights Movement, to assess its progress and struggle in the present, and to advocate for justice and equality into the future.

Lawyers Render Service In April, the Alabama State Bar unveiled a life-size bronze statue of Fred D. Gray to commemorate his storied career as a civil rights attorney.

The statue sits just outside the Bar’s building in the Fred D. Gray Courtyard—a space announced through a series of resolutions passed by the Board of Bar Commissioners in 2021. The Fred D. Gray Courtyard Committee, chaired by Assistant Dean Cassandra Adams, worked closely with the Gray family throughout the process.

The statue features Mr. Gray seated on an Alabama-sourced limestone bench holding a legal folio engraved with the words “Lawyers Render Service”—a phrase Mr. Gray coined during his term as the first Black president of the Alabama State Bar in 2002 that has since become the Bar’s official motto.

2025 Alabama Law Alumni Awards Each year, the Law School Foundation Board of Governors and the Alabama Law Alumni Society accept nominations for three awards: the Sam W. Pipes Distinguished Alumnus/a Award, the Alabama Lawyer Hall of Honor, and the Alabama Rising Young Attorney Award. The award recipients are honored at a reception in their hometowns. This year, the Law School team traveled to Opelika, Knoxville, Birmingham, and Mobile to celebrate the achievements of the following outstanding alumni.

Sam W. Pipes Distinguished Alumnus Award The Sam W. Pipes Distinguished Alumnus Award is the highest honor presented by the Law School Foundation to an outstanding graduate of The University of Alabama School of Law who has distinguished themselves through service to the Bar, the University, and the School of Law. The award is named for the late Samuel Wesley Pipes (‘38), who was a partner in the Mobile law firm of Lyons, Pipes & Cook until his death in 1982. Pipes was a director of the Law School Foundation from 1965-80 and served as president from 1966-68. He also chaired the statewide fundraising campaign, which, in 1965, laid the groundwork for the formation of the Alabama Law Alumni Society.

The Law School is pleased to present Jerry W. Powell (‘75) with the 2025 Sam W. Pipes Distinguished Alumnus Award.

Jerry W. Powell (Class of 1975) Jerry W. Powell began his academic career at Birmingham-Southern College, graduating with his BA in 1972, before enrolling at The University of Alabama School of Law, where he earned his JD in 1975. During law school, Powell was a member of Order of the Coif, Bench & Bar Honor Society, the editorial board of Alabama Law Review, and was a Hugo L. Black scholar.

Upon graduation, Powell clerked for Hon. Seybourn H. Lynne of the Northern District of Alabama before moving into private practice at the law firm of Johnston, Barton, Proctor, Swedlaw & Naff in Birmingham, where his practice focused on consumer compliance, creditors’ rights, and litigation. He then entered the financial services sector, serving 30 years as executive vice president, general counsel and secretary of BBVA Compass Bancshares and Compass Bank before moving to Cadence Bancorporation and Cadence Bank, again as executive vice president, general counsel and secretary. He provided strategic legal counsel and guidance to the executive team and board of directors and was responsible for overseeing all legal matters and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. During his tenure with Cadence, he successfully led various legal initiatives, most notably providing guidance and leadership in taking the company public in 2017. He was also special counsel in the banking and financial services practice group at Jones Walker LLP, highlighting his expertise in the banking and finance sector.

Powell has been actively engaged with his community and the legal profession throughout his career. He is a member of the American, Alabama, and Birmingham Bar Associations, and has served on various committees of the state and local bars. He has also served on the board of many organizations, including the Alabama Bankers Association, AIDS Alabama, the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama, Magic Moments, and Housing Enterprise of Central Alabama, and is a graduate of Leadership Birmingham (2001) and Leadership Alabama (2010). He has continuously provided support for the Law School, first as chairman of the Alabama Law Alumni Society and now as a member of the Law School Foundation Board of Governors. Additionally, he has generously contributed to technological upgrades at Alabama Law over the years through the Jerry Powell Technology Fund and supported faculty and the business law curriculum through the Jerry and Carolyn Powell Professor of Practice for Law and Business.

Alabama Lawyer Hall of Honor The Alabama Lawyer Hall of Honor was established in 2020 by the Law School Foundation Board of Governors to recognize the achievements of Alabama Law alumni and faculty. The Law School is proud to induct four outstanding members of its community into the Alabama Lawyer Hall of Honor: Professor Emerita Pamela Bucy Pierson, Senator Jefferson B. Sessions III (‘73), Chief Justice C.C. “Bo” Torbert Jr. (‘54), and H. Thomas “Tommy” Wells (‘75).

Professor Emerita Pamela Bucy Pierson Professor Pamela Bucy Pierson has authored 10 books and over 70 academic articles.

A proven expert in criminal law and healthcare law, she has been regularly quoted by the national press and was recognized in The New York Times’ “Women Lead the Way in White Collar Crime” list. She has offered expert testimony before Congress on three occasions on matters related to healthcare fraud and corporate criminal liability.

Professor Pierson has been recognized for her dedication to students, teaching, and serving her community. She has received both the University of Alabama’s Outstanding Commitment to Teaching Award (2000) and the Burnum Distinguished Faculty Award (2005). At the Law School, she was named Outstanding Faculty Member by the Student Bar Association seven times, received the Dean Thomas W. Christopher Award four times, and was chosen by the graduating class to participate on the hooding team at commencement 21 times. She was also inducted into the Public Interest Institute’s Order of the Samaritan and has been honored by the Alabama State Bar with awards for outstanding leadership and service and multiple awards from the Volunteer Lawyers Program.

Professor Pierson graduated from Austin College in Sherman, Texas, where she was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society and received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1998. She earned her JD from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, Missouri, where she was a member of Order of the Coif and was recognized as an Outstanding Young Alumni in 2003. Prior to entering academia, Professor Pierson clerked for Hon. Theodore McMillian of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and served as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri’s Criminal Division.

Senator Jefferson B. Sessions III (Class of 1973) Senator Jefferson B. Sessions III has dedicated more than four decades to public service, law, and leadership in Alabama and across the nation. Sessions earned his undergraduate degree from Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama, and his JD from The University of Alabama School of Law in 1973. Upon graduation from law school, Sessions served in the U.S. Army Reserves until 1977, attaining the rank of captain. He began his legal career as an attorney in private practice in Russellville, Alabama, before becoming an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Alabama. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan appointed him U.S. Attorney for the same district, where he served for 12 years.

During his time in that role, he was recognized for his commitment to upholding the rule of law and strengthening the integrity of Alabama’s judicial system.

In 1994, Sessions was elected Attorney General of Alabama, and, two years later, was elected to represent Alabama in the U.S. Senate. He was reelected three times, the last without opposition. Among other committees and assignments, he served for 20 years on the Senate Judiciary and Armed Services Committees, where he was a consistent advocate for the rule of law and a strong national defense. In 2017, President Donald Trump nominated, and the Senate confirmed him, as the 84th Attorney General of the United States—the first Alabamian to hold that position in nearly 170 years—where he served until November 2018.

Senator Sessions and his wife, Mary, have three children and 10 grandchildren. They are members of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Mobile.

In 1958, Justice Torbert was elected to represent Lee County in the Alabama State Legislature, then was elected to the Alabama State Senate in 1966, where he served two terms. As a senator, Justice Torbert proposed several legislative initiatives that would set the stage for reforms to Alabama’s courts and legal system.

In 1976, Torbert was elected Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, where he served for two terms.

He followed Chief Justice Howell Heflin (‘48), who helped create Alabama’s unified judicial system. As Chief Justice, Torbert was responsible for securing funding and implementing the new system—which became a model that other states looked to as they reformed their own judicial systems. In recognition of his outstanding accomplishments and service to the state, Justice Torbert was elected to the Alabama Academy of Honor in 1979.

After leaving the court, Justice Torbert held the Leslie S. Wright Chair of Law at Cumberland School of Law at Samford University and the John J. Sparkman Chair of Law at The University of Alabama School of Law before joining Maynard, Cooper & Gale (now Maynard Nexsen), where he practiced until his retirement.

Justice Torbert’s impactful career is still felt throughout the State of Alabama. The Brewer-Torbert Public Service Award, named in his honor, is presented by the Alabama Appleseed Center for Law & Justice, and the HeflinTorbert Judicial Building in Montgomery was named in honor of both Chief Justice Torbert and Chief Justice Heflin for their work on reforming Alabama’s judicial system.

H. Thomas “Tommy” Wells Jr. (Class of 1975) Tommy Wells Jr. dedicated his life to mentorship, philanthropy, leadership, and uplifting those around him. A native of Gadsden, Alabama, Wells graduated from The University of Alabama in 1972 as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society, then earned his JD from the Law School in 1975 as a member of Order of the Coif, Alabama Law Review, and the Farrah Order of Jurisprudence. He also received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Suffolk University in 2008. Upon graduation from law school, he proudly served his country as an airman in the U.S. Air Force, working as legal counsel in the Pentagon. He later became a founding partner of Maynard, Cooper & Gale (now Maynard Nexsen). His storied career as a litigator and environmental lawyer was consistently recognized in legal accolades such as Chambers USA, Best Lawyers, and The Best Lawyers in America.

Throughout his career, Wells dedicated himself to what he called “common core values that unite” the legal profession: access to justice, independence of the bar and judiciary, diversity, and the rule of law. His service was honored by Legal Services Alabama, which created the Tommy Wells Justice Award to recognize outstanding service in promoting access to justice and legal services.

Wells was a member of the American, Alabama, and Birmingham Bar Associations. He served as president of the American Bar Association from 2008-09, and held several leadership roles prior to his tenure as president. He was also initiated as a fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, the Litigation Counsel of America, the American College of Environmental Lawyers, and the American Bar Association, and was a member of the American Law Institute, Diversity Law Institute, and Trial Law Institute.

A community leader, Wells served on the board of directors for the YMCA of Greater Birmingham, Scholarships for Kids, and the American Judicature Society. He was also a member of the University of Alabama President’s Council, the Alabama Law Alumni Society Leadership Council, and the Board of Governors for Shoal Creek.

Beyond “Thinking Like a Lawyer” Preparing Students for Practice with Excellence & Integrity through Experiential Learning

BY JOSH BIRD WITH JEFFREY R. BAKER, SAVANNAH KELLY & KACI LOLLAR

I

n 2024, Bloomberg conducted a survey1 of 2,700 attorneys, law students, and law professors to measure how well law schools prepare students for their careers in the legal profession. As part of that study, supervising attorneys ranked the skills of their junior associates. While they stated that most junior colleagues were strong in digital literacy (87%), legal research (86.9%), and to an extent, legal writing (67.8%), their responses were not as generous regarding the professional and strategic competencies of their junior counterparts. Specifically, supervising attorneys evaluated these early-career associates as being “weak or very weak” in business development (82.8%), client relationships (57.9%), decision making (48.2%), and time management (48%).

These apparent professional skills gaps have long been a source of complaints about legal education. Critics have argued that law school is too heavy on theory and too light on practical training and that students’ experiences are poorly aligned with the needs of the job market.

Where Legends Are Made While Alabama Law is proud of its reputation as one of the finest academic institutions in the nation, it has long prioritized opportunities that help prepare students to be practice-ready attorneys. Just this past year, students in the Appellate Advocacy Clinic argued four different cases before U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and Civil Law Clinic students successfully defended a $250,000 claim in a jury trial. The Alabama Law team won the Nelson Mandela International Negotiations Competition, and hundreds of students participated in externships, internships, practice-based fellowships, mock trial, and moot court competitions. Through these experiences, Alabama Law students are becoming better-prepared to build client relationships, make informed decisions, manage their time effectively, and proactively identify and address potential issues before they become crises.

And while these current preparations have been well-received by employers—reflected by a 94.2% full-time bar passage required/JD-advantage employment rate—Alabama Law is investing increased resources to ensure students are more prepared to practice than ever before. This year, the Law School recruited Jeff Baker to lead its experiential learning and clinical programs. As Alabama Law’s first Associate Dean of Experiential Learning, Baker will play a pivotal role in integrating opportunities across the spectrum of the Law School’s professional development programs—including externship, internship, moot court, trial advocacy, and public interest programs—while also leading and expanding the Law School’s clinics. Most recently, Baker led the clinical programs at Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law, and he is highly regarded nationally in the field of clinical legal education.

“When I first joined Pepperdine, we only had four clinics,” said Baker.

“During my tenure, we expanded our offerings to include 10 clinics across various practice areas, and we built a very robust externship program that currently serves 90-95% of students.”

Baker joins Alabama Law with a vision aligned with the needs of a current legal market that is looking for junior associates, judicial law clerks, and staff attorneys who are ready to contribute from day one.

“We are preparing [students] to thrive in their careers with excellence, integrity, courage, and competence.”

“My goal is to maximize and expand our current experience-based offerings to ensure that professional development is centralized within everything our students do,” said Baker. “I often tell students you wouldn’t want to go to a doctor who has never seen a patient. And elementary teachers cannot run a classroom without student teaching first. That expectation follows in the legal field. We aren’t aiming for our students to simply get jobs; we are preparing them to thrive in their careers with excellence, integrity, courage, and competence. We don’t want to graduate students who only think like lawyers but who are ready to actually be lawyers.”

21

Legal Clinics Alabama Law currently offers seven legal clinics: Appellate Advocacy Clinic, Children’s Rights Clinic, Civil Law Clinic, Criminal Defense Clinic, Domestic Violence Clinic, Entrepreneurship & Nonprofit Clinic, and Mediation Clinic. Baker expects to lead an additional clinic in the coming year. The Law School guarantees every student a seat in a clinic, and each clinic serves scores of clients each year. They are a vital part of the curriculum preparing professionals for practice, and they are a critical resource for access to justice for many Alabamians.

Guided by expert faculty, our clinics offer specialized training in distinct practice areas, all designed to build versatile skills that prepare students for any legal career. In the clinics, students synthesize their doctrinal knowledge and technical skills in the service of clients in great need, with all the attendant ethical, emotional, intellectual, and moral pressures that come with real law practice. The following stories are just a sample of the outstanding work our clinic students are doing.

Appellate Advocacy Clinic Students Make Their Case(s) Before the Eleventh Circuit 12 Appellate Advocacy Clinic students were tapped to represent clients in cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Montgomery, Birmingham, and Atlanta. Camdyn Neal and Cooper Moran, Alli Swann and Dalton Counts, Christopher Alhorn and Sanderson Wall, and Tyger Quarles and Carson Freund (all Class of 2025) argued their cases last spring, and the teams of Marie Doyle Passman and Noah Harrelson and Abby Vandiver and Sarah Frances Jackson (all Class of 2026) presented their cases this fall. The cases span a variety of complex issues, including First Amendment and immunity claims, issues under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and ineffective assistance of counsel claims.

“Many young attorneys wait years for an opportunity to argue an appellate case,” said Professor Travis Ramey, director of the Appellate Advocacy Clinic. “The chance to argue a case during law school gives alumni of the Clinic a substantial advantage over their peers as they begin their careers.”

Civil Law Clinic Students Defeat $250,000 Claim in Three-Day Jury Trial Four students in the Civil Law Clinic appeared in Tuscaloosa Circuit Court to defend a client in a fraudulent claims case. Under the supervision of Professor Yuri Linetsky, director of the Civil Law Clinic, and staff attorney Ricky Chambless, Bella Prince (lead), James Duer, Acker Holt, and Greg Short (all Class of 2025) obtained a defense verdict in a three-day trial, successfully protecting their client from a $250,000 claim.

The case centered around accusations of misrepresentation when the defendant chose to build two tiny homes—small, environmentally sustainable residential units—with funds her daughter received as compensation for an injury from a childhood car accident. The plaintiff sued for $250,000, asserting that her mother had violated the contract of the settlement by appropriating funds without consent.

Moot Court & Trial Advocacy The Moot Court and Trial Advocacy programs are essential components of preparing students for practice. In simulated cases, students hone analysis, research, writing, and courtroom skills. In addition, students develop strategies, tactics, and rhetoric that will serve them throughout their careers. In competitions, they adapt to high pressure and demanding expectations.

Students Place First at Nelson Mandela International Negotiations Competition At the 57th Annual National Black Law Students Association Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, Claudia Bonney Amamoo and Tionna Taite (both Class of 2025) represented Alabama Law in the Nelson Mandela International Negotiations Competition, where they competed against 16 other teams from around the country. The team was seeded first after each round and finished in first place.

The team was coached by Professor Susan Donovan and received assistance in practice rounds from Assistant Dean Cassandra Adams, Monroe Clayton (‘26), Raine Cook (‘23), and Kyra Perkins (‘23).

Mock Trial Team Advances to Final Four at Case Classic The team of Surendra Mahadeo, Jackson Hill, John Pace, and Bella Prince (all Class of 2025) advanced to the final four at the Case Classic Trial Advocacy Competition in Cleveland, Ohio. Coached by Professor Yuri Linetsky with support from Professors Terrence McCarthy, Steve Emens, and Gary Sullivan and staff attorney Ricky Chambless, the team defeated the law schools at Vanderbilt, Penn State, and Cincinnati to finish in the top four in a competition of 24 teams from 17 different schools. In addition to the team’s outstanding performance, Mahadeo was named Top Advocate, the highest individual honor awarded at the competition. He was the only competitor to sweep all three judge ballots in a single round.

2Ls Compete in Appellate Advocacy Before Sitting Judges

Caroline Woodward, Madeline Martin, Justice Chris McCool (‘93), Judge Jerusha T. Adams, Judge Robert J. Luck, Justin Heydt & Andrew Weisenfeld

Each spring, the 3L Moot Court Board, led by Professor Kimberly Boone, hosts a moot court competition for 2L students who are interested in expanding their appellate advocacy skills. Participants write a brief and present oral argument in competition with fellow classmates in several practice, preliminary, and bracket rounds. The competition culminates in a final oral argument before sitting judges.

This past year, the finalists—Caroline Woodward, Madeline Martin, Andrew Weisenfeld, and Justin Heydt (all Class of 2026)—argued before Magistrate Judge Jerusha T. Adams of the Middle District of Alabama, Judge Robert J. Luck of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and Justice Chris McCool (‘93) of the Supreme Court of Alabama. The panel selected Woodward and Martin as the prevailing team and named Heydt the winner of the Reuben H. Wright Award for best advocate. Additionally, Nathan Shipper and Jack Steinmetz (both Class of 2026) received the Walter P. Gewin Award for writing the best brief in the competition.

In Our Community & In Our Nation Serving Rural Counties Across Alabama In 2017, Judge Ben Bowden (‘92)—former Circuit Judge for the TwentySecond Judicial Circuit in Covington County who was recently appointed to the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals—partnered with Alabama Law to create the Finch Fellowship Initiative. Through the Initiative, students are given the opportunity to spend six to eight weeks as judicial interns in rural communities across the state. Under the direction of a circuit judge, these “Finch Fellows” gain experience in a range of settings such as circuit, district, and probate courts, as well as local district attorney’s offices. Many of the Fellows also shadow local attorneys to better understand what it is like to practice law in rural communities.

Following the Initiative’s initial success in Covington County, the program was expanded to include additional circuits: the Third Judicial Circuit in Barbour and Bullock Counties with Judge Burt Smithart (‘89), the TwentyFourth Judicial Circuit in Pickens, Lamar, and Fayette Counties with Judge Samuel Junkin (‘00), and the Thirty-Eighth Judicial Circuit in Jackson County with Judge John Graham (‘91).

Making an Impact in DC Founded in 2012 with significant support from Mike House (‘71) and Ed Rogers (‘84), the DC Externship Program has placed more than 100 Alabama Law students in federal agencies, legislative committees, and nonprofit advocacy groups throughout Washington, DC. By 2019, Alabama Law was recognized for having the second-highest number of graduates working in Congress among law schools located outside of DC,2 and the influence of our alumni and students in the nation’s capital has only continued to grow.

In March, DC Externship students met with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh (center).

This year marked the 25th Anniversary of the Public Interest Institute at Alabama Law. Founded in 2000 out of a shared vision between students, Professor Pam Pierson, and the Law School, the Institute was formed to provide unique opportunities and funding for students engaging in causes that advance the public good in Alabama and throughout the U.S.

“One of the things we want to do at our law school is train great lawyers who will go out and make a difference in their communities and in the lives of other people,” said Dean Bill Brewbaker. “Our Public Interest Institute is one very important way we do that.”

Last fall, Assistant Dean Cassandra Adams joined Alabama Law to lead the Public Interest Institute into its next phase of growth. Adams has deep ties to the Alabama State Bar and valuable experience leading similar programs at Wake Forest University School of Law and Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. Defining the mission of the Institute through three core commitments—empowering future public interest lawyers, expanding access to justice, and building a culture of service—Adams often emphasizes the central role service plays within the legal profession.

“As lawyers, we all serve in some capacity.

It's simply what we do.”

“We are intentional about providing opportunities for students to develop their commitment to serving while still in law school,” said Adams. “Not everyone is going to pursue a traditional public interest career. However, as lawyers, we all serve in some capacity. It’s simply what we do.”

While service is an important pillar of the Alabama Law experience, that culture of giving doesn’t stop at graduation. In nearly every community in Alabama and in every state across the U.S., you can find Alabama Law alumni making a difference through the work they do. As a part of celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Public Interest Institute, we’ve highlighted just a few of the many alumni who are changing the world.

Scan to hear how these Alabama Law alumni are making a difference through public interest work.

Service in Action In September, the Public Interest Institute partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Tuscaloosa to work on building a home for a member of the Tuscaloosa community. On that Saturday morning, a group of eight Alabama Law students and Assistant Dean Cassandra Adams traveled to West Tuscaloosa to work on a home in the Habitat for Humanity Milestone Community.

Assistant Dean Cassandra Adams, 1L Lane Stefurak, 1L Daisy Ferrell, 3L Emily Kelley, 1L Sidney Gilley, 1L Zander Narum, 1L Anne Lauren Ermert, and the Habitat for Humanity site leader at the project site in Tuscaloosa.

The Law School has deep ties to Habitat for Humanity—one of its founders, Millard Fuller (‘60), along with his wife, Linda, joined Clarence Jordan to develop the concept of “partnership housing” and establish Habitat for Humanity International in 1976. 11 years later, Habitat for Humanity was brought to Tuscaloosa by Hank Hawkins (‘72), another Alabama Law graduate.

3L Emily Kelley chose to participate in the build because she believes that helping people and giving back to her community is important.

“As attorneys, we have had the opportunity to access higher education in a way many people aren’t able to,” said Kelley. “It’s always been very important to me to be able to use my legal career as a way to help other people and positively impact my community.”

– Madeline Martin (‘26)

Gifts to scholarship funds help students thrive at Alabama Law. Madeline Martin (‘26) was born and raised in Hoover, Alabama, and chose to attend The University of Alabama after a campus tour, where she realized UA was a place that would challenge her to grow personally, academically, and professionally.

During her senior year at UA, Madeline served as the 111th SGA President, where she represented students, drove meaningful initiatives, and enacted lasting change on campus. When her undergraduate years came to an end, Madeline knew her time in Tuscaloosa wasn’t over yet.

As a first-generation law student, Madeline was drawn to Alabama Law for its strong sense of community and lasting commitment to student success. She continued her passion for leadership by serving as a 1L Senator, Secretary, and now President of the Student Bar Association. Her experience winning the 2L Moot Court Competition—along with the encouragement of faculty—inspired her to pursue a clerkship, and, upon graduation, she will serve as a law clerk for Justice Chris McCool (‘93) of the Supreme Court of Alabama.
