Stacey Graham Writes and Writes

|
Stacey Graham, a Pierce Law 3L, has found several ways to keep busy. She has served as the Law Student Division liaison to the ABA section of State and Local Government Law. She has also published pieces across a broad spectrum of scholarship.

Her interview with Adriane J. Dudley appeared in the ABA's State and Local Law News and in Law Practice Today. Both featured insights on being a legal rainmaker.

She wrote a piece for her local bar's (Philadelphia Bar Association) publication: Upon Further Review. It analyzed a recent decision which ruled that "municipalities do not have the authority to privatize parkland that is actively used for recreation". Philadelphia was not allowed to issue a long term lease of Burholme Park to Fox Chase Cancer Center. Her title clearly states the outcome: "Court to City: Parks too Precious to Privatize".
