Does Repeating CT-Guided Transthoracic Fine Needle Aspiration Increase Diagnostic Yield and Complication Rate? A Single Institution Experience
Background: Transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy is a well-established and safe technique for obtaining pulmonary tissue. However, there is very little data about repeating procedure.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate whether repeating CT-guided transthoracic fine needle aspiration (TFNA) increases diagnostic yield and complication rate.
Patients and Methods: Patients underwent TFNA and the final diagnoses achieved were included in the study. Consequently, 316 TFNA procedures performed in 240 patients were investigated retrospectively. A diagnosis was not reached in the first TFNA in 64 patients, then they underwent repeated TFNA. The factors that affected the diagnostic yield and complication rate were recorded.
Results: The final diagnoses of 199 (82.9%) patients were malignant and 41 patients were benign. One hundred seventy six patients underwent the TFNA procedure only once. Sixty-four patients underwent a second procedure, while 12 underwent a third one. The diagnosis rate in the first procedures (diagnosis obtained in 142 out of 240 patients) was 59%. With the repeated procedures, 30 other patients were diagnosed. The diagnosis rate increased to 72% (172 out of 240 patients) (P<0.001). Twenty-nine (9.2%) pneumothoraces in 26 patients were detected in 316 TFNA procedures. In the repeated TFNA group (64 patients) there were seven pneumothoraces (11%) in the first TFNA procedure and six pneumothoraces (9%) in the repeated TFNA procedures (P=0.41). In three patients, pneumothorax was detected in the first and repeated procedures. Pneumothorax was significantly associated with the maximum diameter of the lesion (P=0.003), distance to pleura (P=0.001), contact to the pleura (P=0.0001) and smoking history (pack/year) (P=0.04).
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that repeating the TFNA procedure in pulmonary lesions improves the diagnostic yield without an increase in the rate of pneumothorax.
Keywords: Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy; Invasive Procedure; Pneumothorax
1. Background
Transthoracic fine needle aspiration (TFNA) biopsy is a well-established and safe technique to obtain pulmonary tissue for pathologic examination. The diagnostic rate of TFNA ranges from 76% to 97% for malignant lesions (1-3). However, it has a low diagnostic rate for benign lesions that varies from 12% to 68% (4). Pneumothorax is the most frequent complication of TFNA biopsy. Reported rates range from 7.6% to 46% (2, 5). Parenchymal hemorrhage and hemoptysis occur less frequently. Systemic air embolism or pericardial tamponade are rare, but very serious complications (4, 6).
2. Objectives
Up to now, studies have investigated many factors associated with the diagnostic rate and complications of TFNA. In this study, we investigated the influence of repeating TFNA on diagnostic yield and complication rate.
3. Patients and Methods
Three hundred sixteen consecutive TFNA were performed on 240 patients in our institution, between January 2007 and June 2010 and were retrospectively evaluated. A diagnosis was not reached in the first TFNA in 64 patients, who then underwent a second procedure, while 12 underwent a third one. A detailed clinical history, demographic data, history of tuberculosis contact and smoking habit was obtained. The factors which could affect the diagnostic yield and complication rates were recorded. Informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to the procedure. For a solitary nodule or mass, the indication for TFNA depended upon the pretest probability of malignancy, and the presence or absence of metastatic disease. Another indication for TFNA included evaluation of a mediastinal mass after failed or negative broncoscopy. TFNA was performed for the evaluation of infectious processes presenting as nodules or mass especially in smokers. Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (FEV1 < 1L), previous pneumonectomy, arteriovenous malformation, aneurysm, pulmonary hypertension and abnormal coagulation tests did not undergo TFNA procedure. The patients underwent TFNA and the final diagnosis was included in the study. The biopsies were performed by a pulmonologist who had at least a five-year experience on this procedure. The patients were placed in prone or supine positions, depending on the location of the lesion. At the time of biopsy, CT images were obtained at a 5 mm section thickness throughout the lesion. Localization was determined by CT images with laser lighting and skin markers by a radiology technician and the pulmonologist. The mean depth of the lesions was measured from the pleural surface to the most distal tumor limit. All biopsies were performed by a 22-gauge 9 or 15-cm-long Chiba needle. A 50 mL syringe was used to aspirate the material. Cytopathology samples (slides and cell blocks) were prepared by a pathology technician at the time of aspiration. If tuberculosis was suspected, the smears were stained using the Ziehl-Neelsen method and culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was performed. Following the biopsy, immediate CT was obtained to check for pneumothorax. Chest x-ray was obtained 2-4 hours after the procedure or earlier if the patient became symptomatic. Cases developing pneumothorax were followed up in the hospital. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 11.5 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Ill, USA). Categorized data were analyzed by Pearson Chi Square and Fisher's Exact tests and numeric data were analyzed by Student's t test. Binominal test was used to compare the pneumothorax and diagnosis rate in the repeated attempts. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
4. Results
Three hundred sixteen consecutive TFNAs were performed in 240 patients. The study population included 216 (90%) males and 24 females (10%), with a mean age of 59±12 years (range, 17- 81 years). The amount of smoking was 47±29 pack/year. One hundred ninety two patients were current smokers, 35 patients were ex-smokers and 13 patients had never smoked. General features of the procedures are given in Table 1.

General Features of Procedures and Lesions
The final diagnosis for 199 (82.9%) patients was malignant and the remaining 41 (17.1%) patients were diagnosed benign. The final diagnoses of the patients are given in (Table 2).
Table 2.
Types and Routes of Final Diagnosis
One hundred seventy six patients underwent the TFNA procedure only once. Sixty-four patients underwent a second procedure, while 12 underwent a third one (totally 316 procedures in 240 patients). One hundred forty two patients were diagnosed with first trial of TFNA and were not considered for further assessment (diagnosis rate of first TFNA trial was 59%). In the first procedure we established 138 malignant and four benign diagnoses. Ninety eight patients did not have any diagnosis in the first TFNA procedure. Thirty four patients were diagnosed by other routes such as laboratory tests, microbiologic examinations, mediastinoscopy or thoracotomy. Sixty four patients underwent second TFNA in which the diagnosis of 30 patients was determined in the second TFNA (diagnosis rate for second time 47% and total diagnosis rate 72%) (P <0.001). The diagnosis of these additional 30 patients was as follows; 24 inoperable lung cancer, three operable lung cancer, two tuberculosis and one hamartoma. While 22 patients of the 34 remaining patients in the repeated group were diagnosed by other routes such as laboratory tests, microbiologic examinations, mediastinoscopy or thoracotomy, 12 patients were indicated for third TFNA. None of these 12 patients yielded any diagnosis with TFNA and their diagnosis was confirmed by other routes such as laboratory tests, microbiologic examinations, mediastinoscopy or thoracotomy. The other diagnostic tests in this study were carried out according to the clinical status of the patient, radiologic evaluation and physician preference. Twenty-nine (9.2%) pneumothoraces were detected in 316 TFNA procedures. These 29 pneumothoraces occurred in 26 (11%) patients. There were 23 pneumothoraces in the first 240 procedures. Seven out of these 23 pneumothoraces were detected in the 64 patients who proceeded to repeated TFNAs. There were six pneumothoraces (9%) in the second TFNA procedures and it was not different from the pneumothorax rate in the first TFNA trial (P =0.41). However, when we compared the pneumothorax rate versus zero in the second TFNA trial it was significant (P<0,01). In three patients, pneumothorax occurred in the first and second procedures. There was no pneumothorax in the third trial of TFNA. Pneumothorax was detected by immediate CT examination in 25 (86.2%) procedures and by X-rays in four (13.8%) procedures (totally 29 pneumothoraces). Pneumothorax was improved in 20 (69%) by only nasal oxygene supplementation, in four (14%) by simple aspiration and in five (17%) by tube thoracostomy. The existence of pneumothorax was significantly associated with the maximum diameter of the lesion, distance from the pleura, contact to the pleura and the smoking history. On the other hand, pneumothorax development was not associated with age, gender, patient's position, needle insertion angle, lesion localization and existence of calcification or cavitation (Table 3).

Factors Influencing Pneumothorax Rate Following Procedures
5. Discussion
TFNA is effective in distinguishing malignant lesions and determining the histopathological type of lung cancer (2, 7, 8). Although CT-guided TFNA is a widely used, safe and practical method in diagnosing local pulmonary lesions, there is no report about the safety and diagnosis rate of repeating the procedure. We have demonstrated that procedure repetition increased the diagnostic yield without an increase in the pneumothorax rate in pulmonary lesions. The diagnostic rate of TFNA for malignant lesions ranges from 76% to 97% (1-3). In our study, the diagnostic rate (72%) was close to the lower limit. One reason was absence of an on-site pathologist to evaluate the adequacy of the specimen. Previous studies have shown that on-site cytological assessment at the time of the procedure reduced the inadequate sampling rate, and increased the diagnostic rate of TFNA (9, 10). Another reason was that we included only fine needle aspiration procedures, which may lead to a decrease in the diagnostic rate. It was reported that the diagnostic rate of core biopsy is higher particularly in benign lesions (1, 11-14). In our study, while we established 165 out of the 199 malignant diagnoses with TFNA, the diagnosis rate for benign lesions was only 18% (7 out of 41 benign diagnosis). We investigated the association between some factors and the diagnostic rate in TFNA. We found only a significant inverse correlation between calcification of the lesion and the diagnosis rate. However, we could not make a conclusion about this result because of the low number of calcified lesions (17/240). We found no association between the lesion size and the diagnostic rate in our study. While some studies reported association between lesion size and diagnostic rate, some found no association (1, 2, 15, 16). We obtained 30 additional diagnoses with the second trial of TFNA procedures in our study. As most of the diagnoses with repeated TFNA were inoperable lung cancer, usually an incurable disease, we prevented these patients from undergoing more invasive diagnostic procedures (such as mediastinoscopy and thoracotomy) by repeated TFNA. We had a diagnostic advantage with repeated TFNA with the cost of an additional six pneumothoraces (9%). Although the pneumothorax rate in the second TFNA was significantly higher than zero, it was not different from the rate of pneumothorax in the first TFNA. However, it is probable that the additional TFNA does not have a diagnostic benefit after the second TFNA. Perhaps the greatest advantage of TFNA is safety. However, pneumothorax is the most common complication associated with the TFNA biopsy. Reported rates range from 7.6% to 46% (2, 4). The pneumothorax rate in the repeated patients of our study was nearly in the lower range of the reported rates (8%). The main reason for this low rate of pneumothorax was the choice to perform a single pass through the lesion. In the previous studies, a strong correlation was reported between pneumothorax and the size and depth of the lesion that are similar to our results (1, 17). In our study, the pneumothorax rate that required chest tube drainage was 17% (5 out of 29 pneumothoraces). The percentage of patients requiring a chest tube after biopsy in reported previous studies varies between 3.3%-43% (2). Up to now, many factors that might affect the pneumothorax rate have been investigated. We observed post procedure pneumothorax more frequently in heavy smokers. This result may be due to the association between the amount of smoking and the risk of emphysema. However, we cannot make such a conclusion, because respiratory function tests and presentations of emphysema were not recorded in the CT imaging of each patient. We found a significant association between pneumothorax rate and the size of the lesion and its distance from the pleura. These findings were parallel with the literature (1, 17). There were some limitations in this study. First, it was retrospective. Second, cytological assessment was not performed at the time of the procedure. This might be the reason of high repetition procedures. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that procedure repetition improved the diagnostic yield without a significant increase in the pneumothorax rate. We consider that TFNA repetition is a safe method with an acceptable complication rate when the first biopsy is nondiagnostic.

Immigration Bill Not Pork Free
If you thought the immigration bill put together by the so-called 'Gang of Eight' might be the one bill that was free of the pork we see so often in Washington, you thought wrong.
The 'Gang of Eight' took care of their own in the 844 page bill. Florida's Marco Rubio wants help for Florida's cruise industry. New York's Chuck Schumer pushed for special treatment for Irish workers. Brad Bailey of the Texas Immigration solution says he's not surprised.
"It's typical. Washington, D.C. is broke," Bailey said.
Steve Pringle of the Texas Farmer's Bureau tells KTRH we shouldn't get worked up about this.
"This process is just beginning right now. In all practicality the bill hasn't even been introduced," Pringle explained/
Pringle says that he agrees with South Carolina's Lindsey Graham, who is looking for more visas for the meat industry.
"We need meat cutters in agriculture. We would look a little different at that kind of provision," Pringle explained.
The Farmer's Bureau says they are fine with the bill.
"We feel like we've reached a compromise with the farm workers and feel we can move forward," Pringle said.
However, Bailey says some Texans will be hurt by it.
"The people in the middle, unskilled labor, are not addressed," Bailey said.
One thing both Bailey and Pringle agree on is that there will be changes made to the bill before it becomes law.

Alappuzha, May 22 (UNI) An all-party meeting convened here this evening has called for a dawn-to-dusk 'hartal' in the Mararikulam area in this district tomorrow following clashes between local people and the workers of a coir factory here earlier today.
The Mararikulam assembly constitutency is represented by Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Issac.
The trouble started this morning after local people, led by DYFI activists, pelted stones at 'Palm Fibre', a major export-oriented coir factory. The local people were protesting against the alleged encroachment by the factory on public land.
As police failed to check the stone-pelting, the agitated workers of the company came out to resist the attackers and clashed with them. Three people were reportedly injured in the clash.

On anniversary of King's 'Dream' speech, bells to ring for freedom
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An address by President Barack Obama and nationwide bell-ringing will cap celebrations on Wednesday marking the 50th anniversary of civil rights leader Martin Luther King's landmark "I have a dream" speech.
Obama will speak during the "Let Freedom Ring and Call to Action" commemoration on the steps of Washington's Lincoln Memorial, the site of King's address on August 28, 1963, the White House said.
Other speakers include former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. The ceremony will follow an interfaith service at Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington, organizers said.
The speech by Obama, the first black U.S. president, will come as almost half of Americans say much more needs to be done before the color-blind society that King envisioned is realized.
Obama said last week that the legacy of discrimination had left a persistent economic gap between blacks and whites, but that the civil rights movement's impulse for equality had spread to Hispanics, immigrants, gays and others.
"What's wonderful to watch is that ... each generation seems wiser in terms of wanting to treat people fairly and do the right thing and not discriminate," he told a Binghamton University audience in Vestal, New York. "That's a great victory that we should all be very proud of."
The Lincoln Memorial ceremony will include bell-ringing at 3 p.m. EDT, 50 years to the minute after King ended his call for racial and economic justice with the words "let freedom ring."
About 50 communities or organizations around the United States have said they will ring bells. The Swiss city of Lutry and Tokyo are also taking part, said Atlanta's King Center, one of the event's organizers.
Other organizers include the National Action Network of civil rights leader and talk show host Al Sharpton, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the National Council of Churches. Continued...

I was able to see my Grandpa celebrate his 105th birthday in good health with his family, and at his church and his home. That means so much to him!
We are closing on a house in DC in the next week and we found a trusted renter for our current house in MD, without having to go through listing and searching for a tenant. Our new house is within a two mile radius of my office, Dia's middle school, and our church. Once DaNa's office moves to its new location, he will also be a straight shot and about 15 minutes from his office.
I am constantly amazed by the talented people I am blessed to work with!
My participation in an online forum led me to talented twin teenagers who've begun writing and illustrating children's poems for the new curriculum we're creating. Their work is fantastic and their mom is so sweet/responsive - she's even referring us to other people now! We have been getting some really great work back from everyone, but it's so awesome how blessings can come from unlikely places!
People rise to the standard expected of them.

The common waterborne bacterium Caulobacter crescentus reproduces asymmetrically. When a cell divides, one of its daughter cells is a free-swimming "swarmer," powered by a hairlike flagellum. The other, "stalk" daughter cell is immobile, anchoring itself to a surface with one of nature's strongest glues, resisting five tons of force per square inch.

BlackBerry sees part of software growth coming from acquisitions
By Euan Rocha
WATERLOO, Ontario, March 27 (Reuters) - BlackBerry Ltd is likely to see a part of its targeted software revenue growth in the coming fiscal year come from the acquisition of companies that will allow it to sell more value-added services, Chief Executive John Chen said on Friday.
"Now that we have a cash generation capability, we are going to invest and some of the growth is going to be inorganic," said Chen, who has hung his hat on the company making $600 million in software revenues in the current fiscal year.
"We are looking to buy a company, acquisition is part of our strategy this year," he said speaking with media after BlackBerry posted a surprise fiscal fourth quarter profit and said its cash position rose to $3.27 billion.
He said any acquisitions are likely to be focused around the security and enterprise segment.
BlackBerry made a couple of strategic acquisitions last year that have allowed it to sell such value-added services. In July, BlackBerry announced it was buying Secusmart, a privately held German firm that specializes in voice and data encryption, used by the German government and other customers.
In September, it acquired Movirtu, a U.K-based tech start-up whose software allows users to have two phone numbers on the same device with a single SIM card.
The purchases have helped BlackBerry ramp up its portfolio of services that cater to the needs of its core base of clients, like corporations and government agencies.
Chen said that while there remains the chance that revenue may weaken slightly from current levels, he is fairly confident that revenue is at, or near its nadir and is likely to stabilize at these levels, before beginning to rise later this year. Continued...

Sofia Vergara & Nick Loeb: Splitsville?
Posted Wednesday May 9, 2012 9:58 AM GMT
They've had their issues in the past, and now rumor has it that Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb have decided to go their separate ways.
According to an inside source, the "Modern Family" hottie told folks at the 2012 Met Gala that she's a single woman.
As for who decided to split up, the jury's still out, though it doesn't seem like Loeb would want to lose such a smoking hot celebrity girlfriend.
Nick and Sofia have been dating since 2010, and shortly after they hooked up Loeb was nursed back to health by Vergara after being involved in a serious car accident.

Bellini's The Capulets and the Montagues from Sweden
• Listen to the Operavore stream
Vincenzo Bellini's take on the Romeo and Juliet story is unusual in that it's not primarily based on Shakespeare's tragedy, instead, deriving from an Italian novella. The Capulets and the Montagues was a runaway hit at its premiere, causing Bellini to refer to it as "Zaira's revenge," as much of its music was recycled from his opera Zaira, which had failed less than a year earlier.
This production comes from the Göteborg Opera in Sweden — in the opera's first production in that country since 1837. The stars are soprano Kerstin Avemo as Juliet, and mezzo-soprano Katerina Karnéus as Romeo in one of the last major "trouser" roles ever composed, and one of the best.
Conductor: Giancarlo Andretta
Juliet: Kerstin Avemo (soprano)
Romeo: Katerina Karnéus (mezzo-soprano)
Tebaldo: Karl Rombo (tenor)
Lorenzo: Mats Persson (baritone)
Cappelio: Markus Schwarz (bass-baritone)

Start simple with our list of everything you'll need to bring your baby home from the hospital—sort of a Newborn "Top 10" List.
In fact, infant car seats are one of the few categories experts unanimously recommend against hand-me-downs.
Newborns sleep up to 18 hours a day. So, focus your choices on genuine comfort and practicality, and look for a chemical-free finish.
Swaddle blankets are the utility infielder of a nursery. Use them for swaddling, holding, warming, sleeping, changing, and playing.
Make sure you have plenty. Perfect for unexpected eruptions, they also protect your baby from chemicals found in our adult clothes.
A co-sleeper, cradle, bassinet or crib? Whichever you choose, you only need one by the time your baby first arrives.
Daily use of a non-toxic barrier cream along with everyday wipes for sensitive skin are the key essentials.
When a little warm water and a washcloth aren't enough, use mild, hypo-allergenic, anti-allergen, natural, or organic products.
Short of standing in your baby's nursery all day long, nothing will bring you more peace of mind during naptime than a good baby monitor.
Keep your newborn's essentials like new with safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable laundry essentials. These plant-based cleaning products are great for the whole family.

Pope book says Jews not guilty of Jesus Christ's death
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict, in a new book, has personally exonerated Jews of allegations they were responsible for Jesus Christ's death, repudiating the concept of collective guilt that has haunted Christian-Jewish relations for centuries.
Jewish groups applauded the move. The Anti-Defamation League called it "an important and historic moment" and hoped that it would help complicated theology "translate down to the pews" to improve grass roots inter-religious dialogue.
The pope makes his complex theological and biblical evaluation in a section of the second volume of his book "Jesus of Nazareth," which will be published next week. The Vatican released brief excerpts on Wednesday.
The Roman Catholic Church officially repudiated the idea of collective Jewish guilt for Christ's death in a major document by the Second Vatican Council in 1965.
It was believed to be the first time a pope had made such a detailed dissection and close comparison of various New Testament accounts of Jesus's condemnation to death by the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate.
"Now we must ask: Who exactly were Jesus' accusers?" the pope asks, adding that the gospel of St John simply says it was "the Jews."
"But John's use of this expression does not in any way indicate -- as the modern reader might suppose -- the people of Israel in general, even less is it 'racist' in character," he writes.
"After all John himself was ethnically a Jew, as were Jesus and all his followers. The entire early Christian community was made up of Jews," he writes. Continued...

Why is my dog not strolled?
I have searched repeatedly and never once found my dog under the "stroll" section yet have seen some of the very exact same dogs go past over and over again? Is there something I am not aware of that you have to do so that your dog will come up under the stroll section just as the other dogs do?? My dog is a pure japanese chin with the correct markings yet he is not shown, however dogs in the chin category that go by are often either mixed or many times NOT EVEN japanese chins? What's up with this??

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I believe you have to tag your photos in order to be included in most strolls, except maybe the birthday stroll. Where it says photo tags, list his breed and anything else you might want in a stroll, such as smiling, swimming, etc. Good luck!
Member 641257 answered on 7/10/10. Helpful? / 0
I don't think she means a photo stroll, but a profile stroll.
First off, I think it's set up so that you don't see your own dog in strolls, but other people do.
It's also set up so that mixed breeds are shown, but you should be able to specify purebred only.
And on n this site the owners have to specify their dog's breed, and not everyone gets it correct because they may not be familiar with that breed (uneducated guess) or even just taking a wild guess. (I've seen other breeds labelled wrong as well.) I imagine this is especially true with Japanese Chins since they are not that common.
Or are you saying that dogs are showing up that are clearly labelled as different breeds? In that case, you are searching under a specific breed, right? Because if you aren't, you'll see many different breeds.

The Texas Local HIE Grant Program provides partial funding for the development and operation of local health information exchange (HIE) initiatives and networks to support higher quality, safer, and more efficient health care. Twelve local, community-based HIEs serving the majority of Texas' population receive funding through the Program to enable health care providers to securely exchange patient information with each other within HIE's local network, across networks statewide, and ultimately even nationwide. The Local HIE Grant Program is administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) in coordination with the Texas Health Services Authority (THSA).
In March 2010, Texas received a four-year, $28.8 million grant from the federal Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) for funding under the State HIE Cooperative Agreement Program. This program, created through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, was established to fund state planning and implementation of electronic HIE networks. The HHSC serves as the state fiscal agent for this funding, which is the source of funds for the Texas Local HIE Grant Program. The THSA, under contract with HHSC, serves as a convening entity to ensure broad input from consumers, hospitals, payers, physicians, and other stakeholders on the development and implementation of HIE in Texas.
Local HIEs
In December 2010, the HHSC issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for funding under the Local HIE Grant Program and made planning grant awards to qualifying community-based HIEs to develop Business and Operational (B&O) Plans for the operation of HIE in their communities. Funding awards were based on the number of hospitals and physicians each HIE intended to connect. Program awardees conducted a planning process and submitted B&O plans and quarterly progress reports to the THSA and HHSC for review.
In 2011-2012, twelve local HIEs began implementation and initial provision of HIE services. Those Texas Local HIE Grant Program HIEs submit monthly reports to the THSA and HHSC for review and will support, at a minimum, the following HIE services in 2012:
- electronic prescription;
- lab results delivery; and
- clinical summary exchange.

Tampa Bay, Florida Florida's First Law School
Founded 1900
Not every law school teaches "I invite you to join a law school committed to preparing lawyers and leaders to serve the legal profession and society. We value rigor in our academic program, responsibility to the rule of law and social justice, and loyalty to the relationships that we develop inside and outside the classroom.� Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz
Dean and Professor of Law B.A., University of Scranton; J.D., Loyola University (New Orleans); LL.M., Georgetown University
how to become a great lawyer. Only Stetson is ranked #1 by U.S. News in trial advocacy and #5 in legal writing, both vital skills for excellent attorneys.
At Stetson University College of Law, you will gain the real experience needed to excel in your legal career. Here, you will find more than 60 skills electives, 450 clinic and internship opportunities, seven teaching courtrooms and five concentration programs. Advanced bar preparation and career development services provide a foundation needed to become an active and respected member of the legal community.
Now more than ever,
the profession demands that graduates not only understand the law, but be ready to practice it.
Stetson has known this for more than 100 years.
"My legal training at Stetson has helped me tremendously in being prepared to make decisions today as a president in the NFL. Law school is a great tool; you should take it and use it."
Rich McKay '84
President, Atlanta Falcons; Past General Manager, Tampa Bay Buccaneers B.A., Princeton University; J.D., Stetson University
Many law schools are just beginning to address the call by legal employers to prepare graduates with the expertise needed for the everyday practice of law, but Stetson has been doing this throughout its history. Stetson offered its first trial course in 1902 and became the first law school in Florida to open an in-house clinic in 1963. In 1994, Stetson became the first — and remains the only — law school to win all five national trial advocacy competitions in a single year. As a budding Stetson lawyer, you will take interactive courses that carefully balance legal theory, policy and world-class skills training. Through experiences inside and outside the traditional classroom, you will learn to connect facts with doctrine, craft creative solutions, and understand an evolving array of legal issues. And from the very first semester, you will learn to advocate persuasively for clients and causes.
Beyond Stetson's required curriculum, you can prepare for the practice and build relationships with mentors in a variety of ways: •
Participate in Stetson's championship alternative dispute resolution board, trial team or moot court board, or serve on one of their practice shadow teams.
Complete at least 60 hours of pro bono service to graduate.
Work with your professors on research and service projects, to begin building your network with leading attorneys.
Compete in intramural competitions for opening statements, closing arguments or full trials.
Serve as a student editor for one of Stetson's four academic law journals.
Specialize your elective curriculum from a wide range of legal subjects.
"With its excellent research and writing program, #1-ranked advocacy program, and clinics and internships, Stetson provided me all the tools necessary to be successful in my legal career."
Robert Stines » Associate, Phelps Dunbar LLP, Tampa, Florida B.F.A., New York University; J.D., Stetson University
Advocacy competition teams defined The TRIAL TEAM participates in mock trial competitions before a judge. Teams give opening and closing statements, question witnesses, argue motions, make and respond to objections, and introduce evidence.
MOOT COURT BOARD members argue appellate cases. Students must submit a written brief and orally argue their positions to panels of judges.
The ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION BOARD focuses on legal skills used outside the traditional courtroom: client counseling, negotiation, arbitration and mediation.
Apply the law to make a difference.
"I found my passion through my moot court and trial team experience. I have gained experience that carries over into multiple facets of life."
Brooke Geiger '12
Attorney, Florida Department of Children and Families B.A., University of North Florida; J.D., Stetson University
Stetson's primary strength is its holistic approach to teaching advocacy. As an attorney, your clients will expect you to have the knowledge and ability to advocate for their legal rights. The skills you develop in Stetson's nationally ranked advocacy and legal writing programs can give you an important competitive edge as you launch your legal career. Here, you will examine legal theory, review best practices, and understand the professional responsibilities required of lawyers. You will learn the tools to research the law effectively, communicate clearly, persuade successfully, and represent clients ethically from the pretrial stages through the final appellate argument.

Community Snapshot: Denver
National Alliance to End Homelessness
Community Snapshot | September 20, 2007
Files: PDF | 174 KB | 2 pages
August 2007
In 2005, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper outlined Denver's Road Home, an ambitious plan to end homelessness in 10 years. This plan was the work of hundreds of individuals and organizations from across Denver appointed to the Denver Commission to End Homelessness. Denver's Road Home is guided by Housing First principles, which aim to minimize the amount of time people spend homeless, help them return to permanent housing, and then link them to the services they need. The plan dramatically transforms how Denver responds to homelessness.
Key Initiatives
Emergency Prevention. The key to ending homelessness is preventing it from occurring in the first place. Further, assisting a family or individual with rent, utility, or mortgage payments before they become homeless is significantly less expensive than providing emergency shelter. During the first two years of implementation, Denver's Road Home provided eviction prevention assistance to 377 families, helping them to avoid homelessness.
Permanent Housing. Denver's plan calls for creating 942 units of permanent supportive housing for people who are chronically homeless. The plan outlines a Housing First approach, which helps people who are chronically homeless (i.e., disabled and homeless for long periods or repeatedly) get back into permanent housing rapidly and then links them to services such as case management, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, health care, and employment and training (see Exhibit 1). Two years after initial implementation, Denver had completed 354 units of permanent supportive housing.
Mental Health Services. In addition to providing permanent housing, service provision is a major component of the plan, which has provided 1,214 people with substance abuse treatment, mental health, and medical services. The next step is expanding efforts to help homeless individuals without state identification cards complete the process for obtaining ID, which is often a prerequisite for accessing services and may be a major barrier to service utilization.
Employment. Helping people who experience homelessness obtain income that will support their rent payments is critical to sustaining housing stability. During the first two years of implementation, Denver's Road Home provided employment services to 989 homeless people. The city also provided transportation services to help people secure employment and commute to work each day.
Data and Evaluation. An important component of Denver's Road Home is ensuring that the plan and efforts to end homelessness are properly evaluated. The city has developed a performance measurement system, implemented Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and is working on improving data quality. These data collection and evaluation efforts will help the city monitor future progress.
Denver's Road Home is starting to show results. Homelessness declined 13 percent from 4,444 in 2005 to 3,954 in 2007. The number of people who experience chronic homelessness dropped from 942 in 2005 to 602 in 2007, a decline of 36 percent. If Denver can reduce homelessness by another 550 people (or 14 percent) in 2008 then the number of homeless people will fall below the previous low of 3,441 in 2004. The city appears on track to achieving their goal of reducing homelessness by 75 percent by 2010 and ending homelessness altogether in ten years.
