| An Accidental Academic: Meet Frank R. Strong Chair in Law Joshua Dressler |
 Looking back, it was inevitable that Joshua
Dressler would become a leading figure in criminal law.
Yet, it almost didn't happen. Professor Dressler, the
Frank R. Strong Chair in Law, who joined the faculty in 2002
almost did not become a lawyer. And when he did, he launched
his career as a legal educator by one of those lucky accidents
of life. Through the eyes of colleague Sandy
Caust-Ellenbogen learn more about a driving force behind
the creation of the Ohio
State Journal of Criminal Law, debuting this fall.

| Moritz Launches New Criminal Law Journal |
 Founding Board members (left) are proud to announce the launching
of the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law, a peer-evaluated,
faculty-student cooperative venture published by the Michael
E. Moritz College of Law. The Journal is published semi-annually,
and will be a forum for important scholarship written by academics
and professionals in the criminal justice field. The Journal
intends, through its symposia, commentary, and book and cultural
review sections, to provide useful and serious, but also interesting
and provocative, discourse on critical issues in the field of
criminal justice. The publication is the third in an array of
Moritz journals that include the Ohio
State Law Journal, and the Ohio
State Journal of Dispute Resolution published in cooperation
with the ABA Section on Dispute Resolution. (Learn

presentations by faculty, students, staff, and other university
representatives as well as a number of social gatherings. A
highlight was a "new student welcome" by Ohio Supreme
Court Justice Thomas J. Moyer '64 and his presentation
