In the Spring 2018 issue of Res Ipsa, we highlighted alumni working in the field of environmental law. Whether visiting a compressor station, gas plant, hiking through wetlands or traveling across the nation, Charlene Wright (J.D. ’04) goes where her clients need her, when they need her. As a pipeline law specialist at Wright & Associates LLC in Houston, Texas, she works with some of the industry’s leading experts, helping them meet their environmental, safety and other regulatory duties.
It is an unfortunate reality that public servants are often paid far less than their colleagues in the private sector. The Judge John W. Oliver Fellowship Program aims to close that gap, and with Dakkota Huber (J.D. ’17) as this year’s recipient, that gift will go a long way.
On Friday, July 13, Ayyoub Ajmi, digital communications and learning initiatives librarian at UMKC School of Law, won the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) Innovation Tournament. The contest sought to identify the most compelling, innovative ideas that AALL members would like to implement in the workplace; two individuals won $2,500 to support development and implementation of their projects.
