St. Thomas Law's Legal Writing Department Hosts Panel on Administrative Agencies

“Administrative Agencies:  Interplay with Congress, Courts, and Client Interests”

On Wednesday, January 20th, 2016 the St. Thomas Law Legal Writing Department welcomed David Buente and Frances A. Dubrowski, attorneys from Washington D.C.,  to address our first year students.

Our law students had the rare opportunity to learn from attorneys who both played key roles in helping to shape legislative policies and judicial interpretations of environmental protection law early in their careers.  They shared their unique perspectives from those experiences, and their subsequent roles as advocates on behalf of private clients in the area of environmental law.

“Mr. Buente and Ms. Dubrowski offered insights into the interrelationship of governmental agencies, congressional policies, and judicial decisions in a way which was unique and invaluable,” expressed Professor Annie Chan, Director of the Legal Writing Program. 

The student attendees shared Professor Chan's sentiments and expressed their appreciation of the attorneys’ visits.

St. Thomas Law's Legal Writing department has been recognized nationally in Princeton Review's 2015 Best Law Schools ranking.
