The Cumberland School of Law of Samford University in Birmingham saluted former Gov. Albert Brewer by dedicating the new Martha F. and Albert P. Brewer Plaza at Samford April 4. The newly designed plaza in front of Memory Leake Robinson Hall, the law school building, will honor Brewer and his late wife. The former governor, who helped Samford found the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama (PARCA), taught at the Samford law school for two decades before retiring last year, earning numerous teaching accolades.
