Perspectives

Perspectives, the University of Minnesota Law School’s publication for alumni, staff, faculty and students, and supporters, is published twice a year.

In the Fall 2007 Issue of Perspectives: “My Minnesota law degree was a critical step in opening up a world of opportunities,” comments alumnus Joe Sullivan (’67) on his successful career in private investments. The cover story, “From Court Room to Board Room,” describes the career paths into the business world that Sullivan and eight other alumni followed and the value and relevancy of their Law School education in making the transition.

Also in this Issue:

• “Law School Expands Legal History Program” spotlights a new initiative to establish interdisciplinary study and a joint degree program for students to earn both a J.D. and a Ph.D. in history.
• In a special interview, Professors Ann Burkhart, Stephen Befort, and John Matheson share their thoughts on 25 years of teaching at the Law School.
• Recent gifts that provide scholarships and unrestricted funding for immediate, critical needs are reported.
• Profiles of faculty, alumni and students
• Coverage of recent Law School lectures

Plus summaries of the class of 2007 commencement ceremony, Moot Court competition, Workers’ Rights Clinic’s success; and much more.
