“The practice of law is extremely honorable. It’s been a career that I would not change,” says Jack Livingston, Class of 1950.

At 100, he still practices in Scottsboro, making him Alabama’s oldest practicing lawyer.

In a conversation with Livingston, he shared memories from his 76 years in the legal profession, reflected on how the practice of law in Alabama has evolved, and discussed the role Alabama Law played in shaping his career and life.

Happy 100th birthday, Jack! We are honored to celebrate this incredible milestone and your lasting impact on the legal profession.

Top 5 in the nation. 🐘 Alabama Law ranks No. 5 among America's best value law schools, earning an A+ from National Jurist.

That value lets our graduates choose their careers rather than having their loan payments choose for them — whether that's a federal clerkship, a public interest fellowship, a firm in any market, or a return to a rural county where a lawyer is needed. Roll Tide to that!

Congratulations to Professor Sean Tu, lead author of a new study in JAMA examining patents associated with every FDA-approved drug from 1990 to 2019. Tu and a team from Harvard Medical School, UCLA, Brown University, and UA’s Culverhouse College of Business found that the average number of patents per drug more than tripled from 1990 to 2019. The authors conclude that large patent portfolios can help prolong periods of high drug prices.

Thank you to everyone who joined Alabama Law and the [Alabama Law Review] for the Retaliation and the Rule of Law Symposium on Friday, Sept. 25, in Tuscaloosa.

The day brought together national scholars, current and former federal officials, and practitioners to examine retaliation protections across the law and their vital role in protecting those who report misconduct, participate in legal processes, and exercise their rights. Associate Professor of Law Daiquiri J. Steele, who organized the symposium, opened the program with a comprehensive overview of retaliation law. Tom Devine, Legal Director of the Government Accountability Project, traced the evolution of modern whistleblower law, and four panels took up retaliation doctrine, institutional accountability, federal enforcement, and litigation practice.

We are grateful to our panelists and the editors of the Alabama Law Review for a day of thoughtful discussion.

Congratulations to Brian White, an alumnus of The University of Alabama School of Law, on receiving the [American Bar Association's] 2026 John Paul Stevens Guiding Hand of Counsel Award.

Brian has practiced law in his hometown of Decatur for 32 years, taking on some of Alabama's hardest capital defense cases along the way, often staying with a single case for years. He's represented clients at every stage of a case, from trial through post-conviction appeals, partnering with organizations like the Equal Justice Initiative, the Mexican Capital Legal Assistance Program, and the Alabama Post-Conviction Relief Project.

As Christine Freeman, executive director of the [Alabama Post-Conviction Relief Project], put it: “Brian approaches his representation with humility and commitment to saving people from death at the hands of the government … He volunteers for the hardest cases and stays in the fight.”

We're proud to see his work recognized on a national stage.
