Spring 2016 Issue of Perspectives Now Available Online

Writer Cathy Madison talks to five alumni about their career paths in the cover story, “Alternative Dispute Revolution: Mediators Go for the Win-Win.” These mediators bypass the courtroom with a more Zen approach, listening, guiding and sorting through the obstacles that get in the way of a settlement or resolution.

“Although she didn’t realize it at the time, Betsy (Clink) Candler (’01) began her mediation training on death row.” Read more.

This issue’s “Theory at Work” examines the work of Professor Perry Moriearty and her passion for juvenile justice.

“Some people adopt a cause as a natural extension of their pursuits, or an opportunity to give back to the community that supported their growth, or a way to connect their professional and personal lives. For Perry Moriearty, however, the cause of juvenile justice was imbedded early and deep, guiding the journey that brought her to Minnesota and pushing her to the front lines of social change.” Read more.

Other highlights in this issue: Dean Wippman’s tenure, profiles of professors Brad Clary (‘75) and Barry Feld (’69), Supreme Court bobbleheads, student and alumni news and profiles, summaries of news and events, class notes and much more.
