Yale Professor, John H. Langbein, to Present Lane Lecture
04 Oct 2015
John Langbein, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Law and Legal History and Professorial Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School, will deliver the University of Nebraska College of Law's Winthrop and Frances Lane Foundation Lecture at noon Friday, Nov. 6, at the college's Hamann Auditorium. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Probate, the state-operated system of family wealth transmission, has been marginalized in contemporary American practice by the rise of free-market competitors in the financial services industry. Today, it is banks, mutual fund companies, brokerage houses, insurance companies and retirement plan operators who handle most intergenerational wealth transfer. Langbein's lecture, "The Nonprobate Revolution: Privatizing Family Wealth Transfer in the United States," will address the causes and extent of the nonprobate revolution, and about some worrisome drawbacks that are emerging as this new system of wealth transfer takes hold.
"We are delighted to host Professor Langbein as this year's Lane lecturer," Dean Susan Poser said. "He is very respected and we are fortunate to have the support of the Lane Foundation so that speakers of his caliber can be brought to our academic community."
Langbein is an eminent legal historian and a leading American authority on trust, probate, pension and investment law. He teaches and writes in the fields of Anglo-American and European legal history, modern comparative law, trust and estate law, and pension and employee benefit law, or ERISA. He has long been active in law reform work, serving under gubernatorial appointment as a uniform law commissioner since 1984. He was the reporter and principal drafter of the Uniform Prudent Investor Act (1994), which governs fiduciary investing in most American states, and he was associate reporter of the American Law Institute's Restatement (Third) of Property: Wills and Other Donative Transfers (3 vols. 1999-2011).
Langbein has written extensively about the history of civil and criminal procedure, and about the contrasts between modern American and continental procedure. His book "The Origins of Adversary Criminal Trial" (2003) received the Coif Biennial Book Award (2006) as the outstanding American book on law. In 2009 he co-published "History of the Common Law: The Development of Anglo-American Legal Institutions," a textbook on the history of the legal system. He also co-authors a course book on pension and benefit law.
The Winthrop and Frances Lane Foundation provides scholarships to students at the College of Law and Creighton Law School. The foundation also provides grants to support law faculty research and to underwrite the Lane Foundation Lecture. Winthrop Lane was born in Omaha in 1889 and attended Harvard Law School. He was a partner in the firm of Rose, Wells, Martin and Lane, a predecessor to the present Baird Holm law firm in Omaha.
Attorneys will received 1 CLE credit for attending. RSVP by Thursday, November 5, 2015: http://law.unl.edu/alumni-cle/.

Nebraska Law Named #1 Best Value Law School in the U.S.
15 Sep 2015
The University of Nebraska College of Law has been ranked the No. 1 best value law school in the country by The National Jurist magazine. While the college has consistently been ranked as one of the country’s top 10 best value schools, this is the first time it has received the publication's top ranking.
“Each year we are thrilled to be recognized as a top value law school,” Dean Susan Poser said. “The National Jurist ranking acknowledges that our graduates receive an incredible education that sets them up for success and because of their low debt upon graduation, they have great freedom to choose whatever career path they want.”
The methodology behind the ranking takes into account bar passage rate, tuition costs, post-graduation employment rate, cost of living and average indebtedness. The employment rate is weighted heaviest in the calculation.
Poser said since the recent economic downturn, the College of Law has maintained its academic standards while building the curriculum to make certain that graduates can compete in an increasingly competitive job market.
“Our faculty has taken a hard look at the curriculum in the last five years and we have made some changes that have benefited our students,” she said.
Examples of these curriculum changes include the addition of an international law course to the first year curriculum, the creation of an entrepreneurship legal clinic and the development of a solo/small firm practice area of concentrated study.
“Employers know what we have always known. Our students graduate with an impressive knowledge base and with the skills needed to put that knowledge into practice effectively,” she said. “This is why Nebraska Law graduates have jobs around the country, from top New York law firms to the most rural parts of our state.”
In March, the college was ranked No. 56 of 198 law schools by U.S. News and World Report. In three years, it has climbed more than 30 spots in the annual rankings.

Lepard Participates in Gathering in Montreal to Draft a “Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the World’s Religions"
19 Aug 2015
On the weekend of August 1-2, 2015 Professor Brian Lepard participated in a roundtable of academic experts on world religions in Montreal, Canada. He and the other participants discussed the draft text of a “Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the World’s Religions,” designed to complement the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948. The objective of the new document is to articulate a common religious perspective on human rights that emphasizes the positive contribution that religions and their followers can make to the full realization of human rights.
An earlier version of the text was published in The New York Times in 2005. The draft was then released for discussion in the academic and faith communities by the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Madame Shirin Ebadi, at the first global conference on World’s Religions After September 11, when it met in Montreal from September 11-15, 2006. It was attended by 2025 delegates from 84 countries and a number of suggestions were received in its wake. A revised version was prepared in light of these and other suggestions, which was then released for further discussion at the second global conference on World’s Religions After September 11, when it met on September 7, 2011 in Montreal.
This conference was inaugurated by the Dalai Lama, who is a Patron of the project, along with four other Nobel Peace laureates: Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Madame Shirin Ebadi, Bishop Belo of Timor Leste, and Professor Elie Wiesel. An overwhelming majority of the 3007 participants present at this conference voted in favor of bringing the project to a conclusion.
Professor Lepard participated in a conference from June 1 to 2, 2013 to discuss the text, and at this latest gathering in August 2015 the text was virtually finalized. The supporters of the project plan to release the final document at a third global conference on World’s Religions After September 11, which will meet in Montreal on September 11, 2016.
Professor Lepard is the author of numerous books and articles on international law, human rights, world religions, and ethics, including Hope for a Global Ethic: Shared Principles in Religious Scriptures (Bahá’í Pubishing, 2005) and Customary International Law: A New Theory with Practical Applications (Cambridge University Press, 2010).
Participants at the roundtable in Montreal from July 31 to August 2, 2015. From left to right: Praveen Vijayakumar, Daniel Cere, Vivian-Lee Nyitray, Amir Hussain, Arvind Sharma, Faye Sutherland, Brian Lepard and Douglas Oliver.

Stacy, '91, Named to the Nebraska Supreme Court
14 Aug 2015
Lancaster County District Judge Stephanie F. Stacy will succeed Justice Kenneth C. Stephan on the Nebraska Supreme Court.
“Judge Stacy’s judicial and legal experience have served the State of Nebraska well,” Gov. Pete Ricketts said in a news release Friday. “Her expertise and judicial temperament will continue to be an asset to the people of Nebraska and now also to our State’s Supreme Court.”
Before being named a district court judge in 2011, Stacy was a partner at Baylor, Evnen, Curtiss, Grimit & Witt, LLP. She also taught trial advocacy and pretrial litigation at the University of Nebraska College of Law, from which she graduated in 1991.
On the district court, Stacy handled felony criminal, civil and domestic cases and appeals from county court and administrative agencies, as well as lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of state laws, election issues and suits against the state and state officials.
Last year, Stacy sided with the three landowners in the path of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline and ruled that a 2012 law improperly bypassed the authority of the Nebraska Public Service Commission by allowing the governor to approve the pipeline route and give TransCanada the power to use eminent domain. Ultimately, the state appealed and the Nebraska Supreme Court upheld the law.
Since February 2015, Stacy also has been one of two judges to preside over the Lancaster County Adult Drug Court. She has received the Exceptional Performance Citation from the Nebraska Defense Counsel Association and been peer nominated to national honoraries including the American Board of Trial Advocates, International Association of Defense Counsel and the Litigation Counsel of America.
Stephan retired July 1. Stacy's appointment marks Ricketts’ first to the Nebraska Supreme Court.
