Six UMLS students are able to attend the American Agricultural
Law Association Annual Conference by virtue of a grant from
the Montana Department of Agriculture's Growth Through Agriculture
Program. The theme for the 2010 conference is "Sustainable
and Global Agriculture in Unsettled Economic Times."
Third-year students Cassie Dellwo, Claire
Yauck, Jessica LaRoche and second-year students Rachel Clark,
Ryan Gustafson, and Trevor Smith will attend the conference
in Omaha, Nebraska, on October 8-9, 2010. The annual conference
focuses on an array of topics related to agricultural law
and allows law students, practitioners, and experts to interact.
Cort Jensen applied for the grant and will accompany the
students to the conference. Mr. Jensen is the chief attorney
at the Montana Department of Agriculture and teaches Consumer
Transactions at the school as an adjunct professor.
The American Agricultural Law Association is the only national
professional organization focusing on the legal needs of
the agricultural community. To learn more about AALA, visit
the association’s web site: www.aglaw-assn.org.
The School of Law congratulates these students on this opportunity and thanks
Cort Jensen for his work to make this opportunity available to UMLS students.
