It's been an exciting week at the law school, and I am delighted to share some updates:

Congratulations to Dean Frank Durand who this week received the inaugural Inspira Award from the Las Vegas Latino Bar Association. As Dean of Students, Frank has for two decades played a leading role shaping the law school and supporting thousands of Boyd students.

Elizabeth MacDowell is a Professor of Law and director of the Family Justice Clinic.

You played collegiate softball at Weber State University. What was the highlight of your playing career?

Making school history by playing in the NCAA Division I Regional tournament back to back was unimaginable. Additionally, I am grateful for the mental toughness softball demanded. I apply it to my academic and legal career daily.

And what was the highlight of your first year of law school at Boyd?
