en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 feb 2024
A photographic commemoration of SIU Law’s milestones 

The Southern Illinois University School of Law held its first class on September 4, 1973, in a temporary building on the outskirts of campus. 2023 marks fifty years since that humble beginning, and over the course of those years, the School of Law has expanded to offer eight joint-degree programs, four in-house clinics, and more than twenty student organizations. Continuing to improve the law through innovative teaching, scholarship, and advocacy has also remained a high priority as the School of Law continues to make its mark throughout Southern Illinois and beyond. Of the more than four thousand students who hold degrees from the School of Law, over one hundred and fifty are or have been federal or state judges. Other graduates practice law in forty-nine states as well as internationally. They are partners in major law firms, in-house counsel, politicians, leaders of nonprofit organizations, JAG Corps officers, hospital administrators, wealth managers, diplomats, and much more. 

“Established in the public interest, serving the public good” has long served as shorthand to describe the essential mission of SIU Law—its character, its essence. This book illuminates the true meaning of that shorthand, telling the story of the events and people that shaped the SIU School of Law throughout its first fifty years. Within these pages, you will find an annotated, illustrated timeline of events, as well as a gallery filled with photographs of faculty, staff, and student life and activities. From the hiring of founding dean Hiram H. Lesar in 1972 to the hosting of the inaugural Diversity Prelaw Summer Institute in 2022, this book charts the evolution of a small, regional school to one with thousands of graduates playing leading roles throughout the country and the world. 

Featuring more than one hundred photographs, complete indexed lists of full-time faculty members and deans, and identification of numerous “firsts” in the law school’s history, this detailed commemoration is a testament to the faculty, staff, students, and alumni who have paved the way for future generations.

FOREWORD: A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

This fall we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Southern Illinois University School of Law. A half century ago, in the fall of 1973, we welcomed our first class of law students. Even before they arrived, however, founding dean Hiram H. Lesar had a vision for the new school. In his mind, the School of Law was established in the public interest, to serve the public good. For fifty years, we have stayed true to this mission. 

From the very beginning, we have focused on training attorneys for the practice of law, a tradition to which we remain committed. As important, our faculty members have improved the law through their innovative teaching, scholarship, and advocacy. This too remains a high priority. Today, with eight joint degree programs, four in-house clinics, and more than twenty student organizations, the School of Law continues to make its mark throughout Southern Illinois and beyond. 

The School of Law has graduated more than four thousand students who are practicing law in forty-nine states, as well as many international locations. They are partners in major law firms, in-house counsel, politicians, leaders of nonprofit organizations, diplomats, JAG Corps officers, hospital administrators, wealth managers, and so much more. More than 150 graduates are (or have been) federal or state judges. We are proud of our graduates, for their accomplishments, of course, but especially for their constancy in serving the communities in which they live and work. 

In the following pages, you will find a timeline of the events and people that have shaped us. The contributions of faculty, staff, students, and alumni described here demonstrate not just a commitment but a devotion to the guiding mission of the School of Law. 

As we commemorate the past half century of progress at the School of Law, we look forward to the next fifty years of training attorneys to be the leaders of future generations.
