In Recognition of Dean Carolyn Jones

handle is hein.journals/ilr95 and id is 1081 raw text is: In Recognition of Dean Carolyn Jones Cynthia M. Boyle* & TheodoreJPatton** On behalf of the students of the University of Iowa College of Law, we would like to thank Dean Carolyn Jones for her years of service to the College and its students. At the time Dean Jones took over as dean, she was replacing the longest- serving dean in the University of Iowa College of Law's history. After Dean Hines's lengthy tenure, the school's expectations set a high standard for the next College of Law dean. Dean Jones's passion and dedication to students and colleagues have proven to the law-school community her ability to meet the complex challenges of legal education in the twenty-first century. With DeanJones's extensive efforts recruiting and retaining exceptional faculty, raising funds to improve the quality of legal education at the University of Iowa, and completing the other day-to-day activities of a dean, it is impressive that she has been such a consistent and strong advocate for students. It is common for Dean Jones to strike up a conversation with students sitting in the lobby or other areas of the law building between classes. She has been a consistent supporter of student organizations and constant presence at student-run events. The recent remodeling of the College of Law's in-house legal clinic, which allows students to gain legal experience while also providing legal services to individuals with minimal resources, exemplifies her commitment to student opportunities and legal development. Under her leadership as dean, the College also developed the Citizen Lawyer Program, which strives to increase student involvement in the community while also providing students with practical legal experience. The first step in establishing this type of a positive relationship with students is attracting bright and motivated people with the potential to succeed in law school. Consistently competing for qualified applicants is one of the most challenging tasks of any law school and its dean. Potential students most often base their selection decisions on a combination of reputation, cost, and opportunity. During Dean Jones's tenure at Iowa Law, the school has continued to perform well in all three of these areas and * Co-President, Iowa Student Bar Association. J.D.
