The reach of bar associations, including the ABA, extends further than many realize. From evaluating judges, accrediting law schools, disciplining lawyer speech outside of work, to taking political positions, bar associations play a major role in our profession and in American life. Should bar associations focus just on legal practice? Should they continue to be involved in staking out policy positions? What about the ABA’s role in accrediting law schools? Are there any limits on their regulatory power?Featuring:Mr. William Adams, Jr., Managing Director, Accreditation and Legal Education, American Bar Association; Former Dean, Western State College of LawProf. Brian T.

Dubbed by the Chicago Tribune as “The Angel of Death Row”, Andrea Lyon is one of the most successful Capital Case Public Defenders in the country, but she is so much more than that. As an author, educator, former law school dean, and advocate for criminal justice reform, there is next to nothing that Andrea has not done in her career.   On today's episode, Hunter and Andrea discuss her experience as a Capital Public Defender, in Academia, and most importantly, her push to create the Office of the Defender General at the State Level. There are many reasons why it is essential to create the office, but none may be more important than the desperate for Public Defenders and the defense bar to play a larger role in policy decisions at the federal level.   It is so important that Hunter pulled out that section of the conversation and released it as its own episode. If you want to hear Andrea's thoughts on the Office of the Defender General you can find it at the end of this one or on the other episode released today. However you go about it, it is essential to hear Andrea out and begin thinking seriously about pushing for deeper systemic changes to our legal system.   Guests:   Andrea Lyon, Capital Defense Attorney, Former Capital Public Defender, Author, Educator, and Former Dean of Valparaiso Law School       Key Topics and Takeaways:    How did Andrea Start off in this Work [8:30]   Things that Stood Out in Andrea's Career as a Capital Public Defender [10:45]   Andrea's motivation for staying active in Capital Representation [20:47]   The arguments that helped Andrea be a success in Capital Representation [24:45]   How can Law school Improve the way it teaches the practice of law vs the theory of law [34:40]   The need for the Defender General [51:21]   How RICO is used and abused and how a Defender General could have stopped similar policies from being implemented [54:30]   How the Defender General would Operate [1:01:00]     Resources:   Andrea Lyon Website     Follow Andrea on Twitter     Check out Andrea's Book       Office of Defender General Website               Contact Hunter Parnell:       hwparnell@publicdefenseless.com      Instagram     Twitter               www.publicdefenseless.com

Welcome back to America's leading higher education law podcast, EdUp Legal - part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network! In today's episode, we welcome Carla D. Pratt, a national leader in diversity and inclusion and the holder of the inaugural Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher Chair in Civil Rights, Race, and Justice in the Law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, a position she starts this summer after four years as dean of Washburn University School of Law. Dean Pratt describes her journey to the dean position at Washburn after having spent considerable time at Penn State, noting that it was Washburn's strong history and commitment to inclusion that attracted her to the position. Dean Pratt shares the innovative curricular approach at Washburn that allows students to receive one-third of their JD degree through distance education. This enables students to spend their last year in residence wherever they intend to live and practice after they graduate and pass the bar exam. The distance education opportunity also allows them to enter the legal market sooner to get some experience in the kind of law they intend to practice through a paid externship in the local legal market. Currently, their first cohort taking advantage of this innovation is spread out among 12 different states across the nation. Dean Pratt discusses the conclusion of her dean position at Washburn at the end of spring 2022, and her new position in her home state of Oklahoma, serving as the inaugural Ada Lois Sipuel Fisher Chair in Civil Rights, Race, and Justice in Law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law. In addition to her enthusiasm over being back home and being honored with this endowed chair, she predicts the future of legal education and her hopes for innovation that includes increased accessibility to legal education through online delivery.

Leap Day Babies (0:32)Guest: Raenell Dawn, Cofounder of the Honor Society of Leap Year Babies, Editor and Producer of leapyearday.comThis weekend is that once-every-four-years quirk of the calendar when February gets an extra day. Leap Day accounts for the fact Earth's complete trip around the sun takes 365 days … and 6 hours. We've had a Leap Day on the calendar every four years since Julius Caesar decreed it back in 46 B.C. So, you'd think we'd be used to it by now. But it still feels rare enough that people born on Leap Day are a novelty and some organizations won't even recognize it as a valid birthday. (Originally aired 2/29/16) Easter Island Statues Degrading From Weather and Tourists (11:16)Guest: Jo Anne Van Tilburg, Director, Easter Island Statue Project, Cotsen Rock Art Archive at UCLAThe Night at the Museum movie is what first exposed many people to the large stone-faced statues of Easter Island. The American Museum of Natural History in New York has a plaster cast of one with a deeply-furrowed brow that comes to life in the movie. That movie made the American Museum of Natural History's Easter Island plaster cast a popular exhibit. The statues themselves – on Easter Island – have also become so popular with tourists over the last few decades they're in danger.

Banksy is so famous that his art is really valuable, but that doesn't stop other graffiti artists from adding their own twist. His latest slingshot girl was vandalized within just two days. And that reminded us of a conversation we had with Scott Haskins over the summer – he's the guy cities call when graffiti, pollution or weather damage an street mural they want restored. Recently Haskins has been working on a series of murals along Los Angeles freeways that all but disappeared beneath graffiti.

But then some bad behavior surfaces from his past. The college gets wind and rescinds the acceptance. By all accounts this kind of thing is rare, but a high-profile case last year involving Parkland Shooting survivor and conservative activist, Kyle Kashuv, got us thinking about how colleges make these decisions – and how they decide who is a good fit in the first place. In Kashuv's case, he was accepted to Harvard, but then it became public that he'd made racist comments in text messages and a private online document shared with some classmates when he was 16. Kashuv apologized, but that didn't change Harvard's decision to rescind his acceptance. (Originally aired 7/17/2019) Making Brass Cool (1:05:49)Guest: Chuck Daellenbach (Tuba) Founder of Canadian Brass; Jeff Nelsen (French Horn) Canadian BrassFive brass instruments together on stage is already kind of a surprising experience for concert goers – a tuba, French horn, two trumpets and a trombone make a lot of noise. And honestly, we expect to hear these instruments blending into a symphony – not acting like an a cappella group doing renditions of pop songs from the likes of Lady Gaga. The group has been redefining what brass instruments can do for more than 40 years. (Originally aired 3/19/2019) World Chase Tag Is Your Favorite Childhood Game, Taken to the Next Level (1:25:38)Guest: Damien Devaux, Co-Creator of World Chase TagThe last time I played a really serious game of tag I was 14. All the kids in the neighborhood, inside and outside of the house, were dodging furniture, leaping off the porch. A babysitter was in charge and we were really into it – until my brother ran through the glass part of the screen door and nearly cut his arm off. 911, an ambulance and so many stitches that he's still got a gnarly scar all the way up his arm.  A couple of brothers from England have turned tag into a serious sport they're hoping to make professional. It's called “World Chase Tag” and they host tournaments all over the world. (Originally aired 9/30/2019)
