                         Thursday, May 10, 2007

  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Richard Morgan 
for his service of 10 years as founding Dean of the William S. Boyd 
School of Law at the University of Nevada Los Vegas.
  Dean Richard Morgan has overseen the development of the Boyd School 
of Law. His vision and commitment to academic excellence, as well as 
his talents as an academic administrator allowed the Body School of Law 
to receive full American Bar Association accreditation in five years, a 
truly incredible accomplishment.
  Prior to becoming Dean of the Boyd School of Law, Morgan contributed 
to the legal profession in a number of different forums. From 1972 
through 1980, Morgan served as an Associate, and later Partner, at the 
law firm of Krueger & Marsh in Los Angeles, California. In 1980, Morgan 
dedicated himself to the study of law and became an Associate Professor 
of Law at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. In 1983, Morgan 
was named Associate Dean of Arizona State University, a position he 
held until being offered a position as Dean and Professor of Law at the 
University of Wyoming College of Law in 1987. In 1990, Morgan returned 
to Arizona State University as a Dean and Professor of Law and remained 
there until taking up the audacious task of founding the Boyd School of 
Law at the University of Las Vegas in 1997. The Boyd School of Law has 
produced over 800 graduates who have gone on to effect change in the 
communities in which they work as public servants, community leaders, 
legislators, and advocates.
  Madam Speaker, I am very proud to recognize Dean Richard Morgan. His 
contributions to the legal profession and his leadership at the Boyd 
School of Law are commendable. I thank him for his service to the 
University of Las Vegas community and with him the best in his future 
endeavors.
