Dean's Corner
 From assisting rural seniors with legal needs to reporting on conditions in Haiti to providing analysis of key court decisions, the news you’ll find in this issue of @USFLAW is emblematic of the good work being done by our students and the impact our faculty are having on critical legal issues across the country and around the world. The law school and our professors have recently been featured in national and international media—the New York Times, NBC Nightly News, and the Los Angeles Times to name just a few—in stories examining everything from same-sex marriage to housing foreclosures. All of this work underscores our strength as a school with a focused mission and a vibrant faculty intent on making a difference for our students and the communities we serve. It is the same mission that has distinguished the USF School of Law throughout its 100-year history and one we will celebrate as we mark our centennial year beginning in fall 2012. You will soon be hearing much more about what’s in store for the centennial, and we look forward to celebrating with you. In the meantime, you can check for updates at: www.usfca.edu/law/centennial.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. Brand
