Washburn University Recognizes School of Law
Paul Hulsey and Jim Slattery
Two noteworthy Law School alumni will be on campus during the week of October 1, 2001 as part of the Washburn University Alumni Fellows program. This program was established in 1992 to recognize alumni who have distinguished themselves in their careers. The program is sponsored by the Washburn Alumni Association and the deans of each college or school.
Paul Hulsey, Class of 1976, will be honored by the School of Law as an Alumni Fellow at a luncheon on Friday, October 5, in the Ruth Garvey Fink Convocation Hall in the Bradbury Thompson Center. He will also be present in selected law school classes during his visit to Washburn. (Mr. Hulsey is pictured second from the left.)
Mr. Hulsey has been a senior litigation partner with Ness, Motley, Loadholt, Richardson & Poole in Charleston, South Carolina since 1986.

He has written more than 20 scholarly articles and presented numerous seminars. He is also fluent in Spanish. At Washburn, he was a member of the Phi Delta Phi and was the associate notes editor for the Washburn Law Journal. He also holds degrees from Kansas Wesleyan University and has been admitted by examination to the Bars of Kansas, South Carolina, and Puerto Rico. Hulsey now serves on several boards of directors and is president of the Hockey Club of the Carolinas. He was lead trial counsel in the largest civil RICO verdict in the nation and in the first tobacco medical monitoring case in the nation along with numerous other litigation milestones. He married his wife, Belinda, in 1972. They have two sons, Brett and Blaine.
