University of Maryland (School of Law)
Turning law students into exceptional lawyers is our first priority. One constant in the history of the University of Maryland School of Law is our pride in our identity-we are the best at what we do, and we provide our students with a distinctive educational experience:
We have one of the best student/faculty ratios in the country-12:1. This allows us to offer a small section program to all first-year students, as well as extensive training in research, legal analysis and writing. Large classes usually have no more than 50 - 75 students, and the number of small seminars rival schools with much larger student bodies. The result: our students receive a remarkable degree of personalized attention from our faculty.
We believe classroom learning is not enough, and we excel at providing experiential learning opportunities for our students. The Clinical Law Program-nationally recognized among the best in the country-is offering 22 clinical specialties in 2006-2007 and every one of our students is afforded the opportunity to enroll.
Our Health Care Law and Environmental Law Programs are nationally recognized as top programs in the country. Programs in Intellectual Property, Business Law, International and Comparative Law and Women, Leadership & Equality are flourishing. A number of public service and research centers provide our students ample access to interdisciplinary education and cutting-edge research, along with the opportunity to observe and influence the making of public policy.
There are many more reasons that your educational experience at the School of Law will be unique: our state-of-the-art building and its location on an urban campus that includes other professional schools and academic centers, a Career Development Office that offers exceptionally diverse job placement services, a winning National Trial Team and three, beautiful, new court rooms in which to practice. The list goes on.
Turning law students into exceptional lawyers is our first priority.
A strong core curriculum ensures that all students receive a solid grounding in fundamental skills and the substantive law of Civil Procedure, Torts, Property, Contracts, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and Professional Responsibility. Each incoming student participates in the LAWR Program, an intensive three semester sequence in research, legal analysis and writing.
Classroom learning is not enough. Unique among all law schools in the country, the Cardin Requirement provides each student an experiential learning opportunity aimed at understanding the operation of law for those who are disenfranchised and lack access to justice. Our Clinical Law Program - nationally ranked among the best in the country - is currently offering 24 courses and every one of our students is afforded the opportunity to enroll. A rich array of externships expands the School of Law's experiential learning opportunities.
Certificate Programs in Law and Health Care and in Environmental Law are nationally ranked in the top five such programs in the country. Programs in Intellectual Property, Business Law, International Law, and Women, Leadership & Equality, as well as a number of public service and research centers, provide students an array of opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research and influence public policy. Four student-edited scholarly journals give students the chance hone their writing skills and explore complex legal issues in depth.
We have one of the best student/faculty ratios in the country - 12.3:1. Large classes usually have no more than 50 - 75 students and the number of small seminars rival schools with much larger student bodies. As a result, students receive a remarkable degree of personalized attention from our faculty.
Our state of the art facility, the Nathan Patz Law Center, boasts three beautiful court rooms and an expansive legal clinic space with client and student practice areas. The latest technology in classrooms, and in student practice makes innovative teaching methods a regular part of the curriculum.
A fundamental purpose of law and legal institutions is to pursue justice. The School of Law - and the lawyers and legal educators that make up its faculty and staff - bear a special responsibility for ensuring and enhancing the quality of justice in society. Enhancing the legal system's ability to pursue justice is an important institutional mission.
The core of this commitment is expressed in the curriculum through the Cardin Requirement. Unique among law schools nationally, the Cardin Requirement provides that each student learn how the law operates in practice by providing legal services to people who are poor, socially disadvantaged or otherwise lack access to justice. Through wide array of clinical courses and legal theory and practice courses students learn to analyze current legal delivery systems and to critique prevailing legal doctrine, policy and process. Through these courses, students and faculty contribute more than 110,000 hours of free legal services to the citizens of Maryland annually.
The School of Law's commitment to and support of the pursuit of justice extends beyond this core curricular requirement. Four academic specialty centers in intellectual property, mediation, health and homeland security and tobacco control each have a public service mission, operating as a resource to national and local communities on these issues. Public conferences for the academic community, bench and bar address critical issues facing the legal system. A wide array of student organizations support public service projects, helping students make a difference in the local community. The student-run Maryland Public Interest Law Project provides summer grants for students to work at public interest organizations.
To solve the complex problems facing our society, lawyers must draw upon the knowledge of other disciplines. Familiarity with other disciplines - including humanities, science, economics, and social science - is necessary to analyze adequately cutting edge issues in environmental law, intellectual property, business transactions, public policy and virtually every area of legal practice.
The School of Law is uniquely located on an urban professional campus with schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, and social a short walk away. As a public law school located on an urban professional campus, we act as a catalyst for the interdisciplinary teaching and research necessary to understand and to respond to these real world issues and opportunities.
A variety of dual degree programs with affiliated institutions allow students to develop dual competencies in allied fields. For example, students may combine work on their juris doctor degree with a master of public health (MPH), master of science in risk assessment through the School of Medicine toxicology program, master of business administration (MBA), master of social work (MSW), and master of arts in liberal education (MA), to name just a few options.
Interdisciplinary study is not limited to joint degree programs. Advanced seminars on a variety of topics involve work with allied disciplines. Law students and medical students explore health policy problems. Students from a variety scientific disciplines investigate the interaction of law and science in environmental rule-making. Social work students and law students work together on behalf of clients in our clinical law courses. The law schools interdisciplinary centers provide opportunities for law students and faculty to collaborate with professionals in other disciplines including public health, business, engineering, and medicine to address real world problems that require multidisciplinary solutions.
For the legal system to function effectively, the profession must reflect the intellectual and cultural diversity that characterizes this nation. It is the School of Law's institutional conviction that diversity of perspectives - shaped by economic or cultural background, by race, by gender, by disability and by philosophical outlook -- is an essential ingredient of the educational process. If the ideals of justice and the rule of law are to retain their power, then legal education must attract people who can challenge each other's ideas and perceptions and who can draw upon each other's strengths in resolving disputes and building consensus within a plurality of perspectives.
This commitment to diversity is manifest in a variety of ways. Each year approximately 30% of our entering class is comprised of people of color. Hailing from on average more than 25 states and several foreign countries, the class typically represents more than 130 undergraduate institutions and ranges in age from 20 to 50. The same diversity is reflected in our faculty and deans. Of our 58 full-time faculty members, 24 are women and 12 are people of color.
From this diversity, the School of Law works to build a true sense of community. A panoply of student organizations add to this rich community sense. Students with similar backgrounds and experiences gather to encourage, mentor and build their own sense of community within the 35 student led journals, the moot court board and student organizations.
The academic program of the University of Maryland School of Law is designed to help students acquire the four basic characteristics of the well-educated lawyer: knowledge, professionalism, a broad perspective on the social implications of legal issues and the ability to communicate effectively. Fundamental to each of these characteristics is the development of certain habits of mind crucial to thinking like a lawyer: clarity, precision and analytical skill.
The full-time faculty, who teach both day and evening courses, are teacher-scholar-practitioners whose varied backgrounds and experiences bring differing perspectives to the classroom. Those different experiences and perspectives are further augmented by members of the bar and bench who serve as adjunct faculty teaching courses in their areas of specialization. The student-faculty ratio of approximately 14 to 1 provides for a supportive academic and professional relationship in which students have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Thorough training in certain basic areas of law is the foundation of a sound legal education. Required courses in the first and second years include: Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Property and Torts. Courses in Legal Profession and Advanced Legal Research also are required for upper level students.
All full-time day students are required to fulfill the Cardin Requirement by taking one of several designated offerings integrating traditional classroom learning with live client representation under the close supervision of experienced faculty practitioners. These courses introduce students to professional roles and responsibilities through the supervised provision of legal services to the underrepresented. Live client representation courses also are available to, but not required of, evening students.
Because writing and analysis are such important components of good legal education, students have many legal writing opportunities, both required and elective. The Legal Analysis, Writing and Research (LAWR) program engages students in increasingly complex writing assignments throughout their first three semesters. Electives annually include more than forty upper-level writing seminars, and students must fulfill an advanced writing requirement that entails preparing a substantial paper analyzing in depth a particular legal or law-related problem. The law school's Writing Center provides students with all levels of writing skills the opportunity to enhance those skills under the supervision of the faculty director and with the assistance of students trained as Writing Fellows.
Co-curricular activities provide additional opportunities for students to enhance their writing and advocacy skills. The School of Law supports four student edited journals, The Journal of Business and Technology Law, The Journal of Health Care Law and Policy, The Maryland Journal on Race, Class, Religion and Gender, and the Maryland Law Review. The student Moot Court Board sponsors and supervises a broad range of intra- and inter-school programs in written and oral advocacy.
Through a broad range of electives, the curriculum provides students with opportunities for in depth study in many areas of law. Our certificate programs in environmental law and health law receive national recognition as does our Clinical Law Program. In-class and practice-based education in business, constitutional, criminal, family, intellectual property, and international law, as well as legal theory, legislation, litigation, public interest, tax law and others provide the basis for a sound legal education preparing our graduates for leadership roles in the legal, business and public policy arenas. Dual degree programs and interdisciplinary study further prepare our graduates for the real-life interplay between legal and other professionals.
The Clinical Law Program upholds the school's Cardin Requirement and covers the integration of theory and practice through its in-house public interest law firm. Student attorneys represent clients under the close and supportive supervision of faculty practitioners, which enables students to continue the transition from learning to be a lawyer to being a lawyer.
Clinic practice specialties provide a rich variety of experiences, focusing on civil and criminal litigation, advice and counseling, and transactional work. Civil practice has included specialization in environmental law, health, housing and community development, juvenile law and children, AIDS, and immigration. Criminal practice student attorneys often represent defendants in misdemeanor cases in Maryland's district courts, as well as work in our community justice efforts.
The School of Law is housed in the new, state-of-the-art facility, the Nathan Patz Law Center. Opened in 2002, the Patz Center boasts three moot court rooms, including the Ceremonial Moot Court Room where state and federal trial and appellate courts regularly sit in residence to hear live cases. Equipped with smart podiums, document cameras and complete audio-visual systems, both classrooms and courtrooms permit faculty and students to use the latest technology in teaching and learning. Every seat in the building -- including student lounge areas -- is wired for access to the internet and School of Law network resources. In the Clinical Law Program practice suite, students work in confidential, restricted access practice rooms and are assigned work stations with the latest law practice and electronic case management technology. For research and study, in addition to using their own notebook computers, students can use computer workstations in the Thurgood Marshall Law Library Technology Assisted Learning (TAL) Center. Students learn legal research strategies and skills in the state of the art TAL Center Classroom.
The School of Law was designed to provide dignified and easy accessibility to all of its facilities for people with mobility impairments. Ramps, automatic doors, and specially designed classroom podiums, seating and tables provide seemless access for students and faculty using wheechairs. Audio and visual equipment assists students with auditory and visual impairments.
An outdoor courtyard and fountain area, together with a coffee bar area give students areas to meet, relax or study. The School of Law campus is also home to Westminter Hall, an historic early Gothic Revival church that has been restored as a venue for Law School, campus and private events. Adjacent is the Westminster burying ground, the burial site for Edgar Allan Poe and a great number of famous Marylanders.

Awesometism At The Movies: Melancholia
November 11, 2011
I've decided to start recommending some of my favourite bits of pop culture and art on this blog. I have a few reasons for this:
1. As a "professional" pop culture writer and a master time-waster, I spend a lot of time listening to music, watching films and TV shows and reading almost anything that I can get my hands on and, by sharing it, I hope to elevate my useless knowledge to a level that's only semi-useless.
2. I believe that there are certain intangible aspects of Asperger's, its comborbitities and life in general that are best expressed through art and I'm interested in discussing them.
3. I also believe that being able to reference pop culture can be a really useful substitute for more tedious and sometimes even painful explanations of certain things, and I want to share certain works that have been helpful, powerful, or amusing to me in that way.
I'm going to kick things off with Lars Von Trier's latest film, Melancholia.
First of all, from a purely aesthetic perspective, Melancholia is completely brilliant. It is Von Trier's most full realized feature, the perfect marriage of his nihilistic, antisocial and rebellious nature with his burgeoning artistic impulses. It features the sometimes criminally underrated Kirsten Dunst's greatest performance to date in a role that finally uses her sunny blonde looks and her stormy internal life as more than a surface, Virgin Suicides-level juxtaposition. It is visually stunning, emotionally devastating, and the single best thing I saw at the Toronto International Film Festival this year.
If I can get over my current bout of lower case- m melancholia in time for the film's release, I'll write a more traditional review over at Risky Fuel. But for the purposes of this blog, I want to talk about one specific aspect of Melancholia: its exploration of depression.
Of any of the issues that I've experienced in relation to my autism, depression is the one that I find the most elusive. It might more widely known than AS, even more so than anxiety, but it's also more misunderstood, and even harder to explain. It's all consuming, and everything that you can possibly say about it somehow feels like an understatement. The closest I've ever come to saying something useful on the subject is explaining my inability to explain it.
Depression is the epitome of the intangible experience that I mentioned earlier. Clinical descriptions and nonfiction accounts tend to fall short of the mark because they can only appeal to logical and the intellect. But the disease is a full-out assault on a person's logic, intellect, emotions and body and any halfway good description of that attack needs to appeal to those same things.
Few things I've ever seen, heard, or read have accomplished that in quite the way that Melancholia does.
On a grand scale, the film is about the end of the world. In, perhaps, the most obvious metaphor that has ever been used in a film of any quality, a planet named Melancholia crashes into Earth and destroys our planet (this is not a spoiler, the actual collision is part of the title sequence).
On an individual level, it is the story of a depressed young bride named Justine (Dunst) whose life unravels almost in tandem with apocalypse. As the rogue planet looms closer and closer, she systematically tears apart her wedding reception, her marriage and her already strained relationship with her sister (Charlotte Gainsbourg).
As a backdrop for Justine's story, the greater cosmic drama is ingenious. What might be too heavy-handed on its own becomes the prefect of amount of emotional weight to her personal plight. With end of days-level dread, doom and, well, melancholia permeating every scene and every image, the audience can actually experience her struggles before she even attempts (and fails) to explain them for herself.
The character of Justine herself is refreshingly complex and devastatingly realistic. Outside of a few static images in the title sequence in which she is, at turns, weighed and tied down by outside forces, she is similng and laughing the first time that we see her. Although her deeper struggles slowly reveal themselves as the wedding night wears on, those original moments are never completely dismissed as a mere facade. She is always represented as a human being capable of a wide range of emotions, motivations and actions. She is, at turns, both a victim of her disease and an architect of her own misery. She is capable of moments of joy and tenderness, moments of nihilism and pain, and moments of crippling inertia. Above all else, Justine is always presented as both human being with a disease and a human being with normal human faults and attributes.
Although I like to believe that I'm a little less cruel and maybe a tiny bit more functional than its main character, Melancholia is a film that I can point to when people ask me what it's like to have depression.
As for my fellow depressives, the film is a bit of a double-edged sword. As I quipped to my friends after seeing it in September, the experience is half validation ("This is exactly what it's like! I am not alone!") and half confirmation ("Lars Von Trier is right. Life really does suck that much and I wish that a planet really would hit Earth and destroy us all."). But it's also 100% stunning. If you think you can handle it, please try.
Melancholia opens in theaters today, but if you're in Toronto, I suggest waiting the extra week for it to come to TIFF Bell Lightbox, where it will begin playing daily on November 18. Not only is the Lightbox a state of the art cinema lover's paradise, it's also pretty autism-friendly, as it's not prone to the kind of garish sensory overload endemic to so many theaters these days. TIFF is also running a Lars Von Trier retrospective, Waiting For The End Of The World, in anticipation of Melancholia's release, for more information click here.

Comcast NBCUniversal Supports New York On Tech Demo Day for Students
Comcast NBCUniversal believes greater economic opportunity comes through technology. It requires expanding access and helping young people develop skills that meaningfully expand their economic prospects. This December, Comcast NBCUniversal supported the New York On Tech (NYOT) Demo Day where more than 50 high school students showcased their coding skills and pitched app ideas.
NYOT is a nonprofit organization that brings technology training, education and internships to students in New York City. This year, students enrolled in NYOT's TECH360 and Tech Flex Leaders program had the opportunity to work in teams to complete web applications for small business clients. The students competed for top prizes in their respective programs.
"NYOT's Demo Day brings to life the stories and projects of students enrolled in our courses. They have worked extremely hard in their teams the past couple of weeks and this is an opportunity for our community of supporters to celebrate their achievements." – Jessica Santana, Co-founder of NYOT

|Syntax For Positional-Only Parameters
|Larry Hastings <larry at hastings.org>
|Python-Dev <python-dev at python.org>
This PEP proposes a syntax for positional-only parameters in Python. Positional-only parameters are parameters without an externally-usable name; when a function accepting positional-only parameters is called, positional arguments are mapped to these parameters based solely on their position.
Python has always supported positional-only parameters. Early versions of Python lacked the concept of specifying parameters by name, so naturally all parameters were positional-only. This changed around Python 1.0, when all parameters suddenly became positional-or-keyword. But, even in current versions of Python, many CPython "builtin" functions still only accept positional-only arguments.
Functions implemented in modern Python can accept an arbitrary number of positional-only arguments, via the variadic *args parameter. However, there is no Python syntax to specify accepting a specific number of positional-only parameters. Put another way, there are many builtin functions whose signatures are simply not expressable with Python syntax.
This PEP proposes a backwards-compatible syntax that should permit implementing any builtin in pure Python code.
Positional-Only Parameter Semantics In Current Python
There are many, many examples of builtins that only accept positional-only parameters. The resulting semantics are easily experienced by the Python programmer--just try calling one, specifying its arguments by name:
>>> pow(x=5, y=3) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: pow() takes no keyword arguments
In addition, there are some functions with particularly interesting semantics:
- range(), which accepts an optional parameter to the left of its required parameter. [2]
- dict(), whose mapping/iterator parameter is optional and semantically must be positional-only. Any externally visible name for this parameter would occlude that name going into the **kwarg keyword variadic parameter dict! [1]
Obviously one can simulate any of these in pure Python code by accepting (*args, **kwargs) and parsing the arguments by hand. But this results in a disconnect between the Python function's signature and what it actually accepts, not to mention the work of implementing said argument parsing.
This PEP does not propose we implement positional-only parameters in Python. The goal of this PEP is simply to define the syntax, so that:
- Documentation can clearly, unambiguously, and consistently express exactly how the arguments for a function will be interpreted.
- The syntax is reserved for future use, in case the community decides someday to add positional-only parameters to the language.
- Argument Clinic can use a variant of the syntax as part of its input when defining the arguments for built-in functions.
The Current State Of Documentation For Positional-Only Parameters
The documentation for positional-only parameters is incomplete and inconsistent:
- Some functions denote optional groups of positional-only arguments by enclosing them in nested square brackets. [3]
- Some functions denote optional groups of positional-only arguments by presenting multiple prototypes with varying numbers of arguments. [4]
- Some functions use both of the above approaches. [2] [5]
One more important idea to consider: currently in the documentation there's no way to tell whether a function takes positional-only parameters. open() accepts keyword arguments, ord() does not, but there is no way of telling just by reading the documentation that this is true.
Syntax And Semantics
From the "ten-thousand foot view", and ignoring *args and **kwargs for now, the grammar for a function definition currently looks like this:
def name(positional_or_keyword_parameters, *, keyword_only_parameters):
Building on that perspective, the new syntax for functions would look like this:
def name(positional_only_parameters, /, positional_or_keyword_parameters, *, keyword_only_parameters):
All parameters before the / are positional-only. If / is not specified in a function signature, that function does not accept any positional-only parameters.
Positional-only parameters can be optional, but the mechanism is significantly different from positional-or-keyword or keyword-only parameters. Positional-only parameters don't accept default values. Instead, positional-only parameters can be specified in optional "groups". Groups of parameters are surrounded by square brackets, like so:
def addch([y, x,] ch, [attr,] /):
Positional-only parameters that are not in an option group are "required" positional-only parameters. All "required" positional-only parameters must be contiguous.
Parameters in an optional group accept arguments in a group; you must provide arguments either for all of the them or for none of them. Using the example of addch() above, you could not call addch() in such a way that x was specified but y was not (and vice versa). The mapping of positional parameters to optional groups is done based on fitting the number of parameters to groups. Based on the above definition, addch() would assign arguments to parameters in the following way:
Number of arguments Parameter assignment 0 raises an exception 1 ch 2 ch, attr 3 y, x, ch 4 y, x, ch, attr 5 or more raises an exception
More semantics of positional-only parameters:
- Although positional-only parameter technically have names, these names are internal-only; positional-only parameters are never externally addressable by name. (Similarly to *args and **kwargs.)
- It's possible to nest option groups.
- If there are no required parameters, all option groups behave as if they're to the right of the required parameter group.
- For clarity and consistency, the comma for a parameter always comes immediately after the parameter name. It's a syntax error to specify a square bracket between the name of a parameter and the following comma. (This is far more readable than putting the comma outside the square bracket, particularly for nested groups.)
- If there are arguments after the /, then you must specify a comma after the /, just as there is a comma after the * denoting the shift to keyword-only parameters.
- This syntax has no effect on *args or **kwargs.
It's possible to specify a function prototype where the mapping of arguments to parameters is ambiguous. Consider:
def range([start,] stop, [range,] /):
Python disambiguates these situations by preferring optional groups to the left of the required group.
Additional Limitations
Argument Clinic uses a form of this syntax for specifying builtins. It imposes further limitations that are theoretically unnecessary but make the implementation easier. Specifically:
A function that has positional-only parameters currently cannot have any other kind of parameter. (This will probably be relaxed slightly in the near future.)
Multiple option groups on either side of the required positional-only parameters must be nested, with the nesting getting deeper the further away the group is from the required positional-parameter group.
Put another way: all the left-brackets for option groups to the left of the required group must be specified contiguously, and all the right-brackets for option groups to the right of the required group must be specified contiguously.
Notes For A Future Implementor
If we decide to implement positional-only parameters in a future version of Python, we'd have to do some additional work to preserve their semantics. The problem: how do we inform a parameter that no value was passed in for it when the function was called?
The obvious solution: add a new singleton constant to Python that is passed in when a parameter is not mapped to an argument. I propose that the value be called undefined, and be a singleton of a special class called Undefined. If a positional-only parameter did not receive an argument when called, its value would be set to undefined.
But this raises a further problem. How do can we tell the difference between "this positional-only parameter did not receive an argument" and "the caller passed in undefined for this parameter"?
It'd be nice to make it illegal to pass undefined in as an argument to a function--to, say, raise an exception. But that would slow Python down, and the "consenting adults" rule appears applicable here. So making it illegal should probably be strongly discouraged but not outright prevented.
However, it should be allowed (and encouraged) for user functions to specify undefined as a default value for parameters.
Unresolved Questions
There are three types of parameters in Python:
- positional-only parameters,
- positional-or-keyword parameters, and
- keyword-only parameters.
Python allows functions to have both 2 and 3. And some builtins (e.g. range) have both 1 and 3. Does it make sense to have functions that have both 1 and 2? Or all of the above?
Credit for the use of '/' as the separator between positional-only and positional-or-keyword parameters goes to Guido van Rossum, in a proposal from 2012. [6]
Credit for making left option groups higher precedence goes to Nick Coghlan. (Conversation in person at PyCon US 2013.)

Banks Enjoys Renewables PR after Donation to Glenafton FC
Thursday, February 2nd, 2017
on behalf of Banks Group
An East Ayrshire football club is to enjoy improved facilities for all – with the help of a generous grant from Banks Community Fund.
THE £5,500 donation has been gratefully received as the football season gets into full-swing and the resident Glenafton Athletic teams, based in New Cumnock, look to regularly use the clubhouse and function rooms.
Adding toilets to this function room will enable users of the room to meet without the need to visit the facilities of one of the clubs other venues.
David Kerr, Vice Chair of Glenafton Community Development Group, said: "It has been great finally upgrading the function room to provide facilities for everyone using it.
"The building here is used by a number of community groups and, of course, the football teams to meet and provide hospitality for visitors. Previously you would have to make a trip to one of the other parts of the clubhouse which, when you have 30 or 40 people meeting, is not ideal."
The New Cumnock club, which consists of three teams – a junior, boys and over-35s – plays host to many of the local areas clubs and community groups looking for a place to convene.
Loch Park, the club's grounds and clubhouse, provides the venue for a diverse range of groups.
Lewis Stokes, community relations manager at the Banks Group, said: "We are pleased to be playing a part in improving the facilities of a much used and core part of the community.
"Hopefully, this addition will build on the already great venue at Loch Park."
The Banks Community Fund is a fund set up by family-owned The Banks Group, to support eligible community groups, voluntary organisations and environmental projects.
Should planning consent be granted by the Scottish Government, the Lethans wind farm would see 22 turbines installed in East Ayshire and the 74.8MW project will be capable of powering an estimated 40,600 homes – or Cumnock and New Cumnock combined.
As part of an ongoing period of consultation in 2015, Banks Renewables received 420 letters of support from the public, with just one letter of objection.
The majority of the turbines are to be installed in the valley to best shield them from view.
The Lethans Wind Farm would contribute approximately £8 million over the 25 year lifetime of the project towards community initiatives, in addition to a £250,000 investment towards improving access to the site with cycling and walking facilities.
