The University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Law School community mourns the death of Steve Farber ('68), who died March 4 at age 76. Farber, along with Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Law classmates Norm Brownstein ('68) and Jack Hyatt ('68), founded what is now Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, a firm encompassing 13 offices and more than 500 attorneys and policy professionals across the country.

Thanks to a dogged effort led by Telluride lawyer Steve Johnson ('80), two previously unnamed mountains in the Wilson Range of southwestern Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ’s San Juan Mountains were christened Fowler and Boskoff Peaks by an act of Congress, commemorating Charlie Fowler and Christine Boskoff, the Norwood-based alpinists who died in a 2006 avalanche while climbing in Tibet.

Every year, Law Week Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ publishes its Barrister’s Best list to recognize the most prominent, highest performing, and well-established lawyers in Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ across more than 50 practice areas. Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Law is proud to congratulate the more than 20 alumni who were recognized in 2019.

Recent Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Law graduate Zachary New ('19) is one of two winners of the Yale Law Journal's annual student essay competition, focused this year on emerging issues in immigration law.
