Law School News - Univ. of Texas School of Law

FAREWELL ISSUE

This is the last issue of LAW SCHOOL NEWS. The Law School’s Office of Communications is developing an innovative new means of publicizing our faculty’s scholarly and professional accomplishments, and will soon announce the details.

The Jamail Center for Legal Research will continue to announce the latest faculty publications in a new monthly newsletter, WRITINGS OF THE FACULTY, UT LAW, which we will distribute in hard copy to the faculty, and via e-mail to others. Look for the first issue in January 2004, and continue to notify Mike Widener about your latest publications.

In the 13 years since the Jamail Center for Legal Research began publishing LAW SCHOOL NEWS, a total of 314 issues have come out, containing close to 2,800 citations of faculty publications and 4,200 news items. These figures are clear evidence of the outstanding scholarship and rich intellectual life at The University of Texas School of Law.
