Vanessa Cantley to Serve As Adjunct Professor of Law at UofL
Vanessa Cantley, a partner at Louisville, Kentucky civil litigation firm Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones PLC, has been asked to serve as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Louisville School of Law.
Ms. Cantley will be teaching Civil Litigation Skills to second and third-year law students beginning in Fall 2009. Civil Litigation Skills is a new course, designed to provide students with a realistic pretrial experience--which had been largely missing from the curriculum--through the use of readings, class discussions and skills exercises. By handling a civil case from its inception through jury selection, students will learn the basic rules, procedures, tactics and skills necessary to prepare a civil lawsuit for settlement or trial.
With the assistance of the Kentucky Justice Association, Ms. Cantley has scheduled some of the most well-respected civil practitioners, judges and mediators from across the Commonwealth to speak to the students throughout the semester.
