Alumni in the News
The University of Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Law School community mourns the death of Steve Farber ('68), who died March 4 at age 76. Farber, along with Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Law classmates Norm Brownstein ('68) and Jack Hyatt ('68), founded what is now Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, a firm encompassing 13 offices and more than 500 attorneys and policy professionals across the country.- Thanks to a dogged effort led by Telluride lawyer Steve Johnson ('80), two previously unnamed mountains in the Wilson Range of southwestern Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô’s San Juan Mountains were christened Fowler and Boskoff Peaks by an act of Congress, commemorating Charlie Fowler and Christine Boskoff, the Norwood-based alpinists who died in a 2006 avalanche while climbing in Tibet.
- Every year, Law Week Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô publishes its Barrister’s Best list to recognize the most prominent, highest performing, and well-established lawyers in Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô across more than 50 practice areas. Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Law is proud to congratulate the more than 20 alumni who were recognized in 2019.
Recent Ä¢¹½Ó°Òô Law graduate Zachary New ('19) is one of two winners of the Yale Law Journal's annual student essay competition, focused this year on emerging issues in immigration law.
