Kevin VanDyke (LLM graduate May 2008) has started work as an attorney advisor for two administrative law judges at the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission in Denver.
The Commission is an independent adjudicative agency that hears cases under the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The cases are primarily between the operators of mines and the U.S. Department of Labor via the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Among his responsibilities are to draft decisions, research and write memoranda on issues that will be coming before the Commission's administrative law judges in future hearings, and analyze post-hearing briefs.
Kevin took a special interest in mining law while he was in the program, and during his studies at DU was a legal intern for Paul Schlauch and Bob Bassett -- who are adjunct professors teaching International Mining Law in the graduate program -- at Holland & Hart in Denver. I am certain that Kevin's experience working with Mr. Schlauch and Mr. Bassett, two internationally respected mining lawyers, will serve him well in his new position.
And by the way, Kevin, a native of Kansas City, Mo., is an expert on all things related to Notre Dame athletics (and pretty close to an expert on all things related to the University of Kansas!). For the record, Kevin is a graduate of Notre Dame, but had many friends who attended Kansas.
