A Note from the Dean
Happy New Year! I trust you enjoyed the holidays with your loved ones. As you reflect on 2015 and look forward to what 2016 has in store, I hope that some aspect of your New Year’s resolution includes strengthening your connection with the law school. As alumni, your involvement is an important part of our institutional success. Please consider contacting the law school to determine the best way you can enhance our current students’ experiences while at UK Law.

An immediate way to get involved is to attend law school hosted events. We have two exciting events that will take place towards the end of January and I hope you will make plans to join us. On January 22, the Kentucky Law Journal (KLJ) will host an Election Law Symposium. The topic of election law is extremely relevant as our nation prepares to vote on the next leader of our country during the Presidential Election in November. Another hot topic in the media today surrounds human rights. On January 27, the law school, in conjunction with the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights, will host a symposium in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Kentucky Civil Rights Act of 1966. Both of these events will be free and open to the public. Be on the lookout for registration information being sent to you in the near future. I look forward to building from the successes of 2015, and to make 2016 even better! Please join me in this effort by getting involved with your alma mater. David A. Brennen Dean and Professor of Law
