On August 27, The University of Alabama School of Law hosted an alumni reception in Huntsville, welcoming graduates from across the region back together to reconnect and celebrate the accomplished community.

The reception was held at the new U.S. District Courthouse for the Northern District of Alabama, dedicated earlier this year. We are grateful to alumnus U.S. District Judge Liles Burke for inviting us to celebrate and share the courthouse with our alumni.

Dean Bill Brewbaker addressed attendees, and alumni spanning multiple generations enjoyed an evening of good food and great conversation.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Huntsville! Stay informed of upcoming alumni events like this one through our newsletter: https://law.ua.edu/alumni/

Four Alabama Law students spent this summer inside the justice system, from a state prosecutor's office to the defense of clients facing the death penalty. Brad Frank, Sam Hinson, Drake Jones, and Nicholas Thoma served in the public interest as 2026 John Paul Stevens Foundation Fellows.

In their own words:

Brad Frank (2L): “Few experiences during law school have shaped my legal journey as much as my summer clerkship with the Office of the Attorney General of Georgia.”

Sam Hinson (1L): “This summer, I was exposed to a system of incarceration that for most, including myself, is fortunately never seen, but for an unfortunate population, one they see too often.”

Drake Jones (1L): “Working with the Federal Defender's Office helped me to realize that this type of work is what I would like to do after graduating …”

Nicholas Thoma (2L): “It was an honor to be a Stevens Fellow and be able to represent an indigent client in a capital case.”

The John Paul Stevens Foundation Fellowship funds law students to take on this kind of work early, when it can shape a career. We're proud of how these four spent their summer, and of the lawyers they're becoming.

Twenty-five years ago, Alabama's newspapers reported September 11 as it reached the state — "TERROR AT HOME" in Tuscaloosa, "U.S. ATTACKED" in Montgomery, "ACTS OF WAR" in Mobile.

Under those headlines, the papers turned local: gas lines, packed churches, and blood centers along the Gulf Coast overflowing with donors.

Staff at the Bounds Law Library saved the papers as they arrived, and the library's mailing label is still fixed to the newsprint. The September 11, 2001, Memorial Newspaper Collection is open to anyone to view.

Today, we remember.

Alabama Law and the Alabama Law Review look forward to hosting the Retaliation and the Rule of Law Symposium on Friday, Sept. 25, in Tuscaloosa.

The day brings together national scholars and practitioners to examine retaliation protections across the law and their vital role in protecting those who report misconduct, participate in legal processes, and exercise their rights. Organized by Associate Professor of Law Daiquiri J. Steele, the symposium features Tom Devine, Legal Director of the Government Accountability Project, and four panels of leading voices in the field.

The program runs 8:15 a.m. to 3:50 p.m., with 6.0 hours of CLE credit available. Registration is free and required, and lunch is provided.

Bob McCurley led the Alabama Law Institute for more than three decades and helped modernize the state’s laws, and he has taught our students as an adjunct professor for over 40 years. Irving Silver has built a six-decade career in estate planning and elder law and, with his wife, Frances, has been a generous friend to the Law School.

Behind every great law school is a staff that makes it run. This summer, Alabama Law celebrated exactly those people.

At our staff social, we recognized service milestones from five to 35 years and presented the Distinguished Staff Service Award to Joseph De Araujo. Congratulations to our honorees: Nicole Hughes and Crystal Lucio (5 years), Alicia Randolph and Melanie Reynolds (10), Luke Bentley (20), Jeb Richter and Candice Robbins (25), and Patty Nelson (35) — with special thanks to retiring colleagues Bill Bellan (15 years) and Laura Dotson (35 years).

We also celebrate Ruth Weeks, associate director of collections services in the Bounds Law Library, who is retiring after more than 50 years. Read more: https://news.ua.edu/2023/08/from-50-to-5-employees-celebrate-service-year-milestones/
