The 135th Missouri Bar Annual Meeting, the largest gathering of members of the bench and bar, was held September 21-23, 2016 at the Lodge of Four Season in Lake Ozark, Mo. Dana Tippin Cutler, a 1989 graduate, was inducted as the president of the Missouri Bar Association. Additionally, two UMKC Law alumni and an associate professor were awarded for their service to the profession at The Missouri Bar/Missouri Bar Foundation Public Service Awards Luncheon.
From September 15-16, the UMKC School of Law hosted the 2016 College of Law Practice Management Futures Conference. Each fall, the conference brings together multi-disciplined professionals for two days to discuss the current and future state of the legal industry. The conference also recognizes the industry’s thought leaders at its InnoAction Awards Luncheon. Legal professionals sought to answer the question: “What Will Law Look Like in 2026?”
The Class of 2019 before the Matriculation Ceremony
UMKC School of Law welcomed 122 students to the Class of 2019 this year in the annual matriculation ceremony.
Join us on Thursday, October 20 at 5:00 p.m. for "My Life in the Law: Following in the Footsteps of Civil Rights Giants" with Retired U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur L. Burnett Sr. Risking his own safety, Judge Burnett pursued a legal career, ultimately overcoming many obstacles. As he carries forward the vision of Thurgood Marshall and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., he serves as an inspiration for young people to follow in his footsteps and bring needed racial and ethnic diversity to the legal profession.
