Justice Petra Maes (`73) of the New Mexico Supreme Court has received the 2012 Spirit of Excellence Award from the American Bar Association Commission for Racial and Ethnic Diversity.
The award celebrates the accomplishments of lawyers who promote a more racially and ethnically diverse legal profession.
Jackie Rashleger (`93), whose vision and hard work led to the establishment of the University of New Mexico School of Law’s Southwest Indian Law Clinic in 1994, died in late January after a long battle with cancer.
Rashleger, a Haida Native from Alaska, clerked for the Native American Rights Fund and then moved to Arizona after earning her J.D.
The 2012 edition of Water Matters!, a guide to New Mexico’s water issues published annually by the Utton Transboundary Resources Center, has been distributed to New Mexico legislators. In an effort to conserve money and natural resources, this year’s volume was distributed online, with highlights distributed to each lawmaker in an eight-page brochure.
