Awesome Alumni#LawyerLeadersProf. Angela Allen-Bell spoke at a luncheon for the LegislativeBlack CaucusProf. Angela Allen-Bell spoke on April 30, 2018 at a luncheon for the LegislativeBlack Caucus. She is pictured with SULC alum Rep. Edmond Jordan.She discussed the historic, non-unanimous jury legislation that is now pendingbefore the legislature. In her talk, she addressed the many unintended―but veryreal―consequences to have resulted from maintaining this law, such as adisproportionately high number of plea bargains, mass incarceration, votersuppression and disenfranchisement, wrongful convictions, the marginalization ofminority and women voters and jurors and public distrust.She ended by reminding the elected officials that conversations about this law don'tjust involve the racial history of the law or it's impact on defendants. Instead, shetold them what's at issue are the sacred and cherished matters of liberty, freedomand justice.SULC Board of Supervisors Report: May 2018Page 11

Message from Chancellor PierreA Value-Added Ranking of Law SchoolsIndependent research by Christopher J. Ryan, Jr., a Ph.D. candidate at the Vanderbilt University,Peabody College of Education and American Bar Foundation Fellow had determined that theSouthern University Law Center has ranked 5th in the nation in a value added ranking of lawschools.The value added rankings represent an outcome-based assessment of where a law school ispredicted to be ranked based upon entering credentials of its law students versus the actual impactthe law school has on those same students upon their graduation from law school. The valueadded ranking, in essence, measures the effect and impact of attending a particular law school.The law school value added measures deviate significantly from existing traditional rankingssystems of law schools and suggest that traditional notions of a law school’s value ought to bereassessed under this new value added framework.Ryan is an Associate Professor of Law at Roger Williams University School of Law, with an A.B.from Dartmouth College, M.Ed from Notre Dame University, a J.D. from the University ofKentucky, and is expected to receive his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in May, 2018.The rankings are attached for your review.SULC Board of Supervisors Report: May 2018Page 13
