53. Conversation with Judith Daar, Ambassador Patricia L. Herbold Dean Professor of Law at Northern Kentucky University Chase School of Law

EdUp Legal

Welcome back to America's leading higher education law podcast, EdUp Legal - part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network! Judith Daar, 16th Dean of Northern Kentucky University Chase College of Law, began her dean tenure in summer 2019, and during this episode she shares how she does the job while she and her husband commute every other weekend between Kentucky and California, where her husband has been hard at work with infectious diseases and aiding the pandemic fight. The pandemic made their commuting more challenging, and early on, she was often the only person on the flight with her puppy, Chase, named for the law school. Dean Daar is an expert in law and assisted reproductive technologies and during our conversation she shared some of the developments in that field for which she was the original casebook author. Dean Daar explains how recent legislation addressing abortion and expanded definitions of personhood sometimes has unintended consequences on assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. Dean Daar shared her excitement about the gift just announced from Alumnus W. Bruce Lunsford for $3 million, the largest gift in the College's history, and one that expands the impact of his original gift that established the W. Bruce Lunsford Academy for Law, Business + Technology, an honors program that provides students hands-on and conceptual training in applications of law, business and technology. This gift, which triples the initial investment, will increase Lunsford Fellowships for students, and expand networking and placement opportunities for students and graduates, among other initiatives. Learn more about this exciting program and the benefits for students of Chase College of Law in this episode. Thank you so much for tuning in. Join us on the next episode for your EdUp time!
