60 for 60


Huge Crowd Helps Launch Commemorative 60 for 60 Book N


early 800 members and friends of the University of New Mexico School of Law community packed the school’s


Forum on Nov. 12, 2010 to help launch 60 FOR 60: SHAPING LAW IN NEW MEXICO SINCE 1950, a celebration of the school’s first 60 years of graduates and the many ways they have con- tributed to the development of modern-day New Mexico.


The 60 FOR 60 book is filled with a sampling of fun, readable profiles commemorating the 60th


anniversary of the law


school’s first graduating class. It is on sale for $24.95 and can be purchased from the school’s website, lawschool.unm.edu.


At the spirited November celebration, alumni from those first 60 years mixed with faculty, staff and students. Offering a few memorable anecdotes from their years at the school were U.S. Sen. Tom Udall (`77), Anne Bingaman, wife of U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, who was the school’s first female professor; Tom Olson (`73) and Mike Hart (`88). Corinne Hale (`11), president of the Student Bar Association, and Lucas Conley (`13) shared what it’s like to be a UNM law student today.


The commemorative book culminated a year-long project that began with a comprehensive call for nom- inations of people, changes, events, legislative break- throughs, transformational changes and accomplish- ments related to law in New Mexico and the School of Law. Following an exhaustive review process of the nominations, the project’s chairs and advisory com- mittee selected the book’s contents.
