The Law School is pleased to announce the students of the class of 2009 who have been admitted to Chancellors, the Law School’s most prestigious honor society. Since 1912, Chancellors has recognized the law students who have achieved the sixteen highest grade point averages in their class through their second year of school. The 2009 Chancellors are:
| Grand Chancellor: | Russell Harris Falconer |
| Vice Chancellor: | Brett Max Kaufman |
| Clerks: | Stephen Andrew Calhoun Kyle Andrew Ellis Brian Matthew Gillett Ryan Allen Hackney |
| Keeper of the Peregrinus: | Rebecca Jennifer Kalmus |
| Chancellors-at-Large: | Matthew Tyler Bohuslav George Thomas Cason Keith Yellin Cohan Danley Kathryn Cornyn Lisa Renee Holcombe Peter Alexander Janowski Matthew Thomas McCrary Rachael Barnes Novier Sean Myles Smith Zhiming Zhou |
The Chancellors with the four highest grade point averages are officers of the society for their year: Grand Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, Clerk, and Keeper of the Peregrinus. The rest are Chancellors-at-Large. In the case of a tie in grade-point average, more than sixteen students can become Chancellors, and more than one student can hold an officer’s title.
The installation ceremony for the 2009 Chancellors will take place in February 2009. More information on the history of the Chancellors, including photographs from recent installation ceremonies and lists of former Chancellors, is available here http://www.utexas.edu/law/academics/chancellors/
