Having Your Say An Alumni Survey invites graduates to join in the strategic
planning process-and dream the dream for a better Be Law.
Bc Law School has seen its future and it is (almost) now. As part of the strategic planning currently underway, a dozen working groups made presentations in November to an open meeting of faculty,
staff, students, and alumni. They presented wish lists that touched on all facets of the school. Suggestions included establishing a center for law and social justice, stimulating the research environment, broadening international and business law programs, expanding the research and writing curriculum, and addressing issues of student housing.
To arrive at this "snapshot of emerging ideas," as Professor Judith McMorrow called it, the committees were encouraged to be as creative as possible in their thinking. The idea was to allow participants to dream a little before the hard work of prioritizing and turning the viable propositions into reality begins.
And this is where you, BC Law's alumni, come in. Dean John Garvey and McMorrow, who is chair of the strategic planning committee, would like you to join the strategic planning process by filling out the Alumni Survey on Page 67 of this magazine. The questionnaire invites you to share your insights and suggestions about BC Law and to offer views from your workplace experience. It also provides the opportunity to discuss your connection to the school and to identify what services, such as continuing education courses, it might offer you. Your responses will enable the strategic planners to include your valued perspective in their
final report, due in May. The point of this process is to identify how BC Law can build on
its many strengths while helping the school discover and devise new approaches to legal education. Like all the working committees, the work of the one studying emerging business enterprises as a BC Law specialty exemplifies the kinds of thoughtful evaluations being made by the groups. It's been looking at the specific hows and whys of
building the program and at providing a context for its fit into the bigger educational picture. In its November presentation, the committee argued that given Boston's position as a high-tech hub, the proximity of BC's Carroll School of Management, and the Law School's special concern for the ethical practice of law, "the study of emerging enterprises offers a unique opportunity to positively affect the relationship between commerce and a just society."
Another committee proposed raising pedagogical support to the level of the top ten US law schools. A third suggested increasing the number of survey courses in law and religion. Still another identified ways the school might stay in closer touch with alumni.
Perhaps these ideas have stimulated your own suggestions for Boston College Law School. If so, please commit your thoughts to paper by completing the Alumni Survey. Thank you.

A Banner Year Be Law enjoys unparalleled successes as planning and commitment to excellence payoff.
by John Garvey
hen I arrived at Boston College Law School in the summer of 1999,
much of the glow of a thriving economy and soaring stock market
was still with us. Boston College Law School was doing very well and
we looked forward to a future of continued accomplishment.
The subsequent strains in the economic marketplace, with plummeting stock markets and layoffs throughout the corporate and legal worlds, have become all too familiar. Yet Boston College Law School has continued to thrive and to enjoy exciting achievements. Our success is due, I believe, to a commitment by our faculty and staff to position BC Law School to continue to be one of the best in the country. It is due, too, to the support we receive from alumni and friends who believe in who we are and what our future should be.
Early in my tenure I invited the faculty to identify the areas of our academic program on which we should focus our attention to build added strength. We are now enjoying in great measure the fruits of those deliberations. Over the past three years we have recruited excellent new faculty members in the corporate and international arenas. Our strength was boosted as well by the addition of new faculty in Tax, Evidence, Criminal Law, and in our clinical program. Most recently, we have welcomed Filippa Marullo Anzalone as the new associate dean for library and computing services.
One dramatic indicator of our success has been our soaring admissions applications. We have gone from 5,362 applications in the Class of 2003 to 7,232 applications in the Class of 2005 . No other law school in the country had more applicants per place than we did for this year's 1L class. We clearly are seen as a place of great value and interest. One cannot overlook that in periods of economic uncertainty law schools experience increases in applications.
Our increases, however, have exceeded the national average. I am confident that we hold a distinctive advantage over other law schools because of who we are and what we stand for.
We are gratified that our alumni and friends have responded generously to what we have accomplished. You will see in the annual Report on Giving in this issue that in the fiscal year just ended we reached record levels in total pledges and in contributions to the Law School Fund. As our aspirations for the future continue to be refined and pursued, such financial support is essential to our ability to fulfill those aspirations.
It would be wrong not to acknowledge that there are stresses in the world in which we operate. In the last two years, graduates of law schools across the country have found that jobs aren't as readily available as in the heady years of the 1990's. Happily, 75 percent of our Class of 2002 had job offers, but that number is lower than we want. Our Career Services office continues to help our students find meaningful work.
The faltering economy, however, has not altered our fundamental success in providing our students with the best possible education. The news that our graduates taking the Massachusetts Bar last summer had a 95 percent first-time passage rate,
is but one impressive example of our continuing commitment to excellence.
Our accomplishments have a momentum that adds vigor to our efforts to be the best law school we can be. We enter the new year determined to continue to live up to our promise.

SPOTLIGHT
Reflections on 'Doing Good' DEALING WITH SERVICE'S DARK SIDE
Since graduating In 2000, Andrew Don has been a staff attorney for the Committee for Public Counsel Services' Children and Family Law Program in Salem, Massachusetts, providing free legal representation to indigent children and parents. He was the recipient of the Drinan Family Fund Scholarship, which has mitigated some of the effects of his low income on his family. Changes at home recently made it necessary for him to leave the program and continue child welfare representation as a private attorney. At the time of transition, Don reflected on his "tremendously intense, grueling, complex, and challenging work. "
L ast fall, I found myself pulling into the parking lot of the Dunkin'
Donuts where my client wanted to meet. She is in her early twenties, very bright, and really struggling with her heroin addiction. She is losing. There are bruises all over her hands and arms from her intravenous heroin use. She is the mother of a young child who is in the custody of the Department of Social Services (DSS) because the child tested positive for heroin at birth. Just this summer, she had custody of her young son returned to her at our trial date. Within hours of leaving the courthouse, she had used heroin again; custody was removed from her when she returned to her Department of Corrections treatment program.
with, there is a mix of addiction, mental health issues, and horrendous past personal history.
We are meeting because she is about to have her parental rights terminated in order to free her child for adoption. We need to discuss her decision to waive her right to a trial and to relinquish her parental rightsin trade for pictures and a letter once a year.
I am always struck by the particularity of these situations, meeting with this woman, in this Dunkin' Donuts. There is something jarring in discussing the reality that she will not see
her son for the next eighteen years or so, if ever again, with the smell of sugar and coffee wafting about.
This woman's situation, like so many I deal with, is a case management and litigation challenge. Unlike assault and battery cases, mine have no required elements; they are murky, with few clear options. The" best interests of the child" standard can be a very slippery concept. The relevant facts continue to develop and change under your feet, even up to and during trial.
The work requires collaboration. Often, I am able to call a DSS worker or the attorney for one of the other parties and work out a solution. Other occasions are less happy. In a case where I was representing a mother, DSS placed her sixteenyear-old son with the family of his fourteen-year-old girlfriend,
In this case, as in many I deal Andrew Don: "My cases are wrenching-that is their nature."

when the children were known to be sexually active. This put the children at risk for teen pregnancy and put the boy at risk for prosecution under the statutory rape statute and therefore of violating his terms of probation and commitment to Department of Youth Services. DSS refused to move the child, so I filed an Abuse of Discretion motion. DSS finally removed him less than a week before the hearing date.
Though these kinds of scenarios are frustrating, I am glad to be doing exactly what I wanted to do when I applied to law school. Helping to get a severely retarded boy's eyeglass lenses polished to remove the scratches or having children placed with their grandmother instead of in foster care are victories to be savored.
Yet, when I tell people what I do and they say, "That must be really gratifying," and assure me that I'm doing "good," I find it difficult to respond. My cases are wrenching-that is their nature. And my failures are many: not staying in touch enough to know that a client was moved from her foster placement two weeks earlier and has not yet been registered in school; not being able to shake the nagging feeling that if my cross examination had been better, I might have been able to achieve a client's goal.
However, I do feel privileged to be involved in some of the most intimate situations in people's lives, and to have the opportunity to use my creativity and the law on their behalf. I also feel privileged to be involved in a collaboration with the clients, attorneys, DSS, and other service providers to improve the lives of children and their families.

Life Lessons
EFFECTING CHANGE
M any students at BC Law wonder how they can use their legal
training to serve the public interest after graduation. Adam Bovilsky and Jessyn Schor, thanks to their participation last summer in the Rappaport Program in Law and Public Service at Suffolk University Law School, are no longer guessing.
The program, which selects twelve Boston-area law students who "demonstrate exceptional commitment towards public service and the betterment of civic life in the Greater Boston region," provided them paid, ten-week internships. Bovilsky worked for the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights on impact litigation contesting state redistricting laws the civil rights committee believed diluted the minority vote. Schor worked on public transportation policy with the Alternatives for Community and Environment in Roxbury.
Before entering law school, Bovilsky, a 2L and Yale graduate, worked as a social justice program coordinator for the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston. The job inspired him to pursue public interest law.
Schor, a third-year law student and a graduate of the University of Washington, used to tutor high-risk children through the Americorps program in Seattle. "1 was drawn to the Rappaport program because 1 was interested in how an attorney can work towards systemic change with respect to social inequities," she says.
Bovilsky says the Rappaport program gave him "perspective on what 1 wanted to do with my career, and allowed me to work in the Boston area to effect meaningful policy change."

Hand to Hand
CHAMPY FELLOW MITIGATES DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
E rin Han '03 is the winner of the 2002-2003 Champy Fellowship, an
$11,000 scholarship established by Lois and James Champy '68, that will enable her to pursue a public interest career.
Han has long demonstrated a commitment to public service through her work on behalf of victims of domestic violence. She was a member of Boston Medical Center's Domestic Violence Advocacy Project, where she offered primary counseling, legal advice, and referrals to victims, and she also served in Dorchester District Court as a civil restraining order advocate. "My experience [in the court] allowed me to gain a better understanding of the legal protections that are in place for battered women and men in our court system," she says.
Han continued her involvement last summer working III
the domestic violence unit at
the Norfolk District Attorney's Office.
She plans to devote her career to combating the crisis of domestic violence through civil legal services and advocacy. "1 hope to have a career rich in direct client contact, since 1 believe that clients keep me 'real' as an attorney," she says. Han is particularly interested in expanding existing legal services to teens who are in violent relationships. "Few people realize that as many as one in three teens are involved in an abusive relationship during their adolescent years. I'm convinced we must start with young people to
educate and curb violence before these patterns become integrated into a tef 11'S conception of a 'normal' relationship," she explains.
"1 greatly and humbly appreciate the generosity of the Champys in allowing me to continue doing the work 1 love," Han says.

HATS OFF TO THE NEW J.D.'S
On a sunny May 24, the Law School celebrated the graduation of its seventieth class. Ambassador to Canada A. Paul Cellucci '73 urged the 268 graduates to embrace the idea of
public diplomacy, which he defined as any activity designed to inform or influence public opinion. "The United States is founded on ideals-life and liberty, the pursuit of happiness, freedom of religion and speech. These are fundamental to our success as Americans," he said.
Cellucci, a former governor of Massachusetts, himself was honored at the event with the Founder's Medal, the highest award given by BC Law. He shared the award with Francis X. Bellotti '52, senior counsel at the Boston firm Mintz Levin and a former state attorney general. The men were chosen for embodying the traditions of professionalism, scholarship, and service that the Law School seeks to instill in all its students.
Dean John Garvey said goodbye to the class that came to BC Law the same year he did as dean. "Love is the most important thing," he told them. "Justice is a wonderful virtue and it is our preoccupation .... But keep a little perspective. Don't get so close to it that it seems bigger than anything else."

[ I N BRIEF]
Why Tribunals?
PANEL JUSTIFIES USE OF MILITARY COMMISSIONS
T he Bush administration's November 2001 call for the use of mili
tary tribunals in the war against terrorism sparked widespread national debate about the manifestations, possible uses, and legal ramifications of such courts. The BC Law Veterans Association brought the debate to Newton in September by hosting a panel discussion entitled "Military Tribunals and the US Military Justice System."
The panelists, military justice experts generally supportive of tribunals, discussed the historical development of military commissions, the formulation of administration policy regarding their uses, and some of the legal
issues at stake. Gary Solis, a retired lieu
tenant colonel and chief of oral history for the US Marine Corps, defined a tribunal as a military commission, or court, with three judges, and he provided a chronology of their use, saying President George W. Bush's decision to implement tribunals in the war on terrorism has legal and historical precedent. Tribunals were first used by the US during the American occupation of Mexico in 1847, Solis said, but they were conspicuously absent during hostilities in Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War.
Major Timothy MacDonnell argued that military commissions are necessary to pro-
8 Be LAW MAGAZIN E I FA LL I W INTER 2 00 2
tect national security. A judge advocate in the US Army and deputy chief of the Trial Counsel Assistance Program in Washington, DC, MacDonnell said that because the tribunals are not bound by the normal rules of discovery, they are a way to prevent valuable intelligence secrets from becoming known to terrorists.
National security was one of many Issues considered by the Department of Defense Military Commission when drafting guidelines last March
for the implementation of military tribunals, according to Captain Ryan M. Zipf. A trial counsel for the Special Projects Branch in the Office of the Judge Advocate General at the Pentagon, Zipf was a member of the commission that developed the new rules and procedures. He said the desire for secrecy and expediency, historical precedent, international law, the specifics of the president's order, and due process concerns were all considered when drafting the guidelines.
Solis was the only panelist to say there were some troublesome aspects to the administration's stand. He questioned extended detentions of US citizens and the widespread use of the term "enemy combatants," which, he said, does not appear in any body of law. "We should not fight terrorism by ignoring the Constitution," he said.

CLEOS HERE IN RECORD NUMBERS
There are currently eleven Council on Legal Educational Opportunity
(CLEO) fellows at BC Law, the largest number ever assembled at the school at one time.
The CLEO program was established in 1967 to help the financially or ethnically disadvantaged embark on legal careers. Fellowships are awarded to high-achieving lowincome and minority undergraduate students. They participate in a six-week summer program designed to enhance their organization, time-management, and teamwork skills and introduce them to subjects such as torts, legal writing, and criminal law.
Elizabeth Rosselot, assistant dean for admissions and financial aid, says that because of their summer training, CLEOs are able to "hit the ground running" when they get to law school.
CLEO fellow Marilyn James '05 concurs. "It was a really excellent experience. They teach in the Socratic Method, so you learn to be on point," she explains. James aspires to become a judge in the Boston area and appreciates the edge the program gave her. "Not only did I learn important skills," she says, "but I created a network of lawyers too."

LAW, BUSINESS STUDENTS WORK TOGETHER
E the real world, law and business have always formed
necessary if sometimes uneasy partnership. But this year at Boston College, J.D. and M.B.A. students are forming beneficial partnerships of their own in a new pilot course called "Advising the Business Planner" -and the results so far have been eye-opening for everyone involved.
"Business school students don't tend to think about the legal aspects of starting or refining a company's business plan as much as they should, " said Carroll School Professor Gregory Stol-ler, who, along with BC Law Professor Alfred Yen helped put the pilot course together. "Liability issues, copyright, legal jurisdiction, for example, are rarely discussed, or left on the back burner for the lawyers to 'figure out.' But to law students, these are basic questions that need to be addressed right from the beginning."
"Advising the Business Planner" is part of a larger initiative that is just getting off the ground at BC, in which the Law School and Carroll School of Management work together to find innovative ways for law students and business students to learn from each other. Partly a response to the dramatic increase in the numbers of students interested in the Boston College J.D.fM.B.A. dual degree program, the Emerging Enterprises Program at BC Law also offers J.D. students the option of learning more about the business world, without actually enrolling as dual degree candidates.
Another course being considered at the Carroll School is what Stoller thinks may be the first "transactional-based course" in the country involving law and business school students. Modeled after a clinical
workshop, the goal of the new course would be to teach students practical skills in the man-
While Stoller emphasizes that the course is only in the early planning stages, he is excited about the possibilities. "We're breaking new ground here," he says. "Based on our preliminary research, there are no universities nationwide currently offering anything remotely close to this concept. Early feedback from law and
business students indicates it could be very popular, and practitioners In both
industries said it would make graduates that much better prepared for their first jobs."

'Don't Ask Don't Tell' , RALLY DEMANDS: 'DON'T DISCRIMINATE'
Congressman Barney Frank spoke at the protest rally regarding BC law's decision to allow the US military to recruit on campus.
M assachusetts Congressman Barney Frank was among several
speakers who addressed a crowd of students, faculty, administrators, and visitors at the November 1 "Rally Against Discrimination," held in the Law School's East Wing courtyard. The rally was organized to highlight discontent with the school's decision to allow the military to recruit freely on the Law School campus.
The US military discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation. The BC Law nondiscrimination policy prohibits such discrimination on its campus, and as an extension of this policy the Law School has previously adopted an approach of minimal compliance with the Department of Defense regulations governing recruiting by the armed forces.
But the recent interpretation of the Solomon Amendment by the Judge Advocate General's Office, which says that any university that prohibits or prevents military recruiting on its
campus can be penalized by the termination of federal funding for research and other purposes, forced BC Law faculty members to suspend this portion of the policy in September and allow military recruiters full access to campus and career services facilities.
"This is a time when, for understandable reasons, no one wants to impede the military'S efforts to recruit good lawyers, nor to inhibit those of our students who want to pursue a career in the armed services," said Dean John Garvey. "The faculty'S reluctance about military recruiting stems from a commitment to our nondiscrimination policy, not from a disagreement with these sentiments. "
Law schools across the country, including Harvard, New York University, Boston University, Yale, Columbia, the University of New Mexico, and the University of Southern California, also recently yielded to pressure from the Air Force,

LSA AT Be LAW? My first years in the LSA showed me that the sense of community here is special. As president, I'm able to give back. I've been meeting with other student organizations, planning joint events, and working towards common goals. I've even developed a new motto for the LSA, "Together taking action for you."
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO USE YOUR LAW
DEGREE? My studies have sparked an interest in corporate defense litigation. I've landed a job with a private firm in Miami. Perhaps the most important thing I'll take with me from Be Law is the idea that succeeding outside the classroom is as important as succeeding inside the classroom. That will stick with me.

Changing Tide INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW STRUGGLES TO STAY CURRENT
Twenty years ago, an academic conference on intellectual property law might have dealt with mechanical
inventions or books and periodicals, topics barely mentioned at an IP law symposium held at the Law School last October.
Nowadays cutting-edge IP law is mostly about the internet and other digital technologies. As technologies proliferate, so do lawsuits (think of Napster, the late musicsharing website, sued out of existence by the recording industry). So also do unsettled questions of law, along with lawyers paid to litigate them and law professors paid to think about them.
Several dozen law professors and a handful of practicing IP lawyers from all over the country hashed out some of these questions at the October conference. The average age in the room was somewhere in the mid-to-upper thirties, with some dauntingly learned presentations coming from scholars who may not have been out of their twenties. This fact is explained by IP's recent growth, according to Professor Joseph Liu, who organized the conference with his colleague Alfred Yen.
New Trends Emerge In the symposium's first paper, University of Pittsburgh Professor Michael Madison discussed the varied legal bases for internetrelated litigation. Initially, he said, much ecommerce depended on "click-through agreements," in which a mouse click serves as an e-signature, signaling assent to a onscreen "contract." The problem with such contracts, Madison argued, is that few people actually read them before clicking, and courts have been increasingly skeptical of them. More recently, he said, two statutes and numerous tort cases have used the common-law notion of "trespass to chattels" to keep unwanted visitors, including business competitors, from downloading data from a website.
Another trend in web law was pointed
12 Be LAW MA GAZ IN E FALL / WIN T ER 2 00 2
TRENDS AND TIMELY ISSUES
out by Harvard's Jonathan Zittrain, who spoke about the years-long push to rid the internet of unlawful content: viruses, gambling sites, libels, and so on. Early efforts targeted the illegal content's sources, but these are often overseas and thus beyond the reach of US law. Next, law enforcers targeted the sources' internet service providers (ISPs), but these can also be overseas; anyway, courts have recently found that ISPs, like phone companies, aren't liable for content they transmit.
Now authorities are targeting "destination ISPs" instead of "source ISPs," and with more success. A recently enacted Pennsylvania law, for instance, allows the state to get injunctions directing ISPs to filter out a website if it purveys kiddie porn,
thus preventing users from accessing the site. This approach, Zittrain argued, will work better than the earlier ones, although it raises jurisdictional issues (at least until better filters are devised, content blocked by an ISP affects its users worldwide, not just in Pennsylvania) and questions about prior restraint of speech.
Yet another fascinating IP trend, identified by Stacey Dogan of Northeastern University, involves the use of images, digital and other. Dogan spoke on the "right of publicity" -celebrities' right to profit from any use of their image or voice. This right, which dates to the 1950s, originally pertained to recordings or photographs of the celebrity, but increasingly courts have been willing to listen to arguments about images
[LEGAL CCRRE ~ TSJ
that just "evoke," or bring to mind, the celebrity. In 1992, for instance, Vanna White won a suit against an electronics firm that ran a TV ad featuring a femalelooking robot turning letters on a Wheel of Fortune stage set, one of a number of similar lawsuits since the middle 1970s. Dogan argued that the right to publicity, thus expanded, encroaches on free speech and artistic expression and that courts should rule more narrowly in this area.
The Consumer Factor What proved to be the symposium's most controversial paper was described by Liu, its author, as "exploratory" and "tentative," a fair description by most standards. Liu critiqued IP law for the overly passive picture it draws of the "copyright consumer," the audience for creative works. Liu identified several "active" consumer interests, among them "sharing" works with friends and "creative self-expression" (for example, lifting copyrighted files into a personal website) that have come to the fore in the digital world but are largely ignored in current law. The internet, Liu said, increases our ability to share works with others far beyond what was possible with media like books and phonograph records. Of course, much web-based sharing-think of Napster again-and some forms of digital self-expression have been deemed impermissible by the courts. While admitting that the market may come to accommodate these active interests, Liu doubted it and urged Congress and the courts to become more "attuned" to the copyright consumer.
Responding to Liu's paper, Mitch Singer, in-house counsel at Sony Pictures, said, "In the name of protecting little Susie's right to create a multimedia book report, they vitiate the whole system of copyright protection." He then pointed to the history of file-sharing websites, Napster and its progeny, saying in a tone of disbelief that as recently as 1999, "we were actually debating whether Napster encouraged CD purchases ." In fact, he said, CD sales dropped five percent in 2000 and ten percent in 2001. "As a producer of motion pictures, " he said, " I have to assume my industry isn't far behind."
Only time will tell, of course, but at the rate the IP scene is changing these days, it probably won't take much time.

The Debate over Hate
ARE BIAS-CRIME LAWS THE ANSWER?
Hate crimes have long been a fact of life in America, but public awareness of such crimes and the legal
debate over what to do about them has escalated in recent years. A panel discussion held at BC Law in October brought together three experts whose differing opinions highlighted the moral and legal complexities of selecting certain classes of people for special legal treatment.
The "Hate Crimes and Punishment" panel, sponsored by the Lambda Law Students Association in honor of National Coming Out Day, examined whether legislation should recognize bias-based crimes committed against members of a class of people-say gays or African Americansby codifying certain classes as "protected" and enhancing penalties for perpetrators.
Boston University Professor Frederick M. Lawrence, author of Punishing Hate: Bias Crimes Under American Law and a member of the Massachusetts Hate Crimes Task Force, defended biascrime statutes. "Bias crimes tend to fracture us in a serious, dangerous way," he said. Citing studies detailing the aftereffects of bias crimes, Lawrence said that the impact on victims is often deeper and more stigmatizing than on victims of parallel non-bias crimes. Moreover, he argued, unlike parallel non-bias crimes, bias crimes seriously affect other members of the targeted class, augmenting their feelings of vulnerability and insecurity. By writing laws that protect frequently targeted groups, legislatures validate not only the existence of the group, but also their particular vulnerability, and in so doing, directly combat the hateful and divisive purpose of the bias crime.
Laws that Balkanize "Laws that create double standards are immoral and unacceptable," countered Boston attorney and National Law Journal
columnist Harvey Silverglate. "We will never eliminate bias and prejudice. We can only hope to maintain a system in which people are treated equally under the law."
Drawing on the history of common law and the modern civil rights movement, Silverglate, who is co-director of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, argued against bias-crime legislation, saying Martin Luther King Jr.'s civil rights movement was based upon equality under the law; nothing more, nothing less. "What we need in this country is a little more frankness and honesty, and a little less senSItiVIty and pandering, " Silverglate said. "Hate crimes legislation increases the
balkanization and decreases the message that we are all in this together. ... The trend toward special treatment on hate crimes is counterproductive to this [message]."
Ellen]. Zucker '94, a criminal defense attorney at Boston's Dwyer and Collora and a member of the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, was less convinced
than Lawrence that bias-crime laws are the most appropriate response to hate crimes, and she warned about the difficulties inherent in legislating for the few. Which groups, she asked, should be protected by bias laws? Are not women, the handicapped, and the elderly also deserving of special status under the law, and if not, where and how should society draw the legal line?
Zucker offered alternatives to legislation, among them better training for police officers, social workers, and prosecutors who deal with the perpetrators and victims of hate-based violence.
She also tackled the subject of punishment. "It's dangerous for us to fool ourselves into thinking that by increasing penalties, we've done something," Zucker said. "Because we haven't."

Partners Karen Fikes (I) and Sherry Ortiz puzzle over what to do when an unexpected twist in the trial disrupts their plan.
It was, like most competitions, ladies and gentlemen, a battle of attrition. For four grueling weeks, the students performed their trials, ignorant of their scores. That ended on November 6, when it became known which four teams would proceed to the semi-finals on November 13. After the semi-finals, the two teams destined for the nationals emerged. But it wasn't over yet. First, a winner had to be declared for the BC Law competition.
That's the crux of it. And yet there is more here than meets the eye. It takes a village to raise a litigator, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, and the villagers rallied in force. There were Deshala Dixon '04 and Rita-Anne O'Neill '04 of the Board of Student Advisors, which, from the recruiting of judges to the scheduling of "courtrooms" to the publicizing of the event, makes the competition happen every year. There were the local attorneys and judges who clocked long evenings away from home to preside over the mock courtrooms. There were the student "witnesses" and "bailiffs" who participated for the sake of authenticity. There were the professors who provided training and support. They were all there, ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of our young, fledgling trial advocates.
What happened, in short, was education and all that that implies: commitment, risk-taking, that unsettling feeling of confusion that gives way to understanding. The teams who competed did so because they wanted to. The rewards lie in the challenge, in the teamwork, and in the one word, ladies and gentlemen, that every student used, at one time or another, to describe the mock trial experience: Fun.
16 Be LAW MAGAZINE I FALL I WINTER 2002
DIRECT EXAMINATION What was the case about? This year's mock trial problem, drafted by Cara Corbett '02 and Christy Bell '02, pitted the accused, Jackie Danford, charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, against Martina Rossetti, whose boyfriend, Jim Brown, used to live with Danford. The assault took place when Danford showed up at her old apartment, now occupied by Rossetti and Brown, after a Fourth of July party where alcohol flowed freely. Danford was there at Brown's invitation to pick up the belongings she'd left when she moved out. Rossetti refused to let her in, and Danford pushed her way into the apartment. When Rossetti refused to return a necklace that Danford insisted was hers, Danford tried to grab it from Rossetti's neck. One thing led to another, and Danford wound up on the kitchen floor holding a knife while Rossetti and Brown stood over her. Several days later, after Danford testified against Brown in court in an unrelated matter, Rossetti sought medical help for wounds she claimed Danford inflicted on her with the knife. No forensic evidence linked the knife to Rossetti 's wounds.
"This case is right on the money," declared judge Roger Witkin, as he waited for his courtroom to convene during the second week of competition. A veteran Boston defense attorney, Witkin said it was the most life-like mock trial case he'd seen in twenty-five years of judging competitions.
Thirty-five pages long, the mock trial problem contained stipulations, sworn statements of four witnesses, a police report, the relevant statutes of the imaginary State of Grimes where the

alleged crime occurred, extensive jury instructions, the floor plan of an apartment, a restraining order, an ambulance report, a physician's records-and a kitchen knife. Okay, a photo of a kitchen knife, marked 7/4/02 #449916, which everyone was supposed to pretend was an actual knife.
Making sense of the case was the students' first challenge. "It seemed impossibly difficult for either side to develop a theory of the case," said contestant Matthew Foye '03, recalling his first impression of the problem. As the students delved in more deeply, however, they all began to see the layers and nuances.
Which is exactly what you want of a mock trial problem. Director of Advocacy and Visiting Associate Clinical Professor Alexis Anderson, the faculty advisor for the event, said that "you want to have a factually rich problem where credibility is a big issue so students can practice with witnesses. You also want a problem with evidentiary issues, so students can practice hearsay questions."
What happened during the first night of trials? Team 9, Sherry Ortiz '03 and Karen Fikes '03, entered the classroom worrying themselves over the location of the imaginary jury box and which side the prosecutors were supposed to sit on. "This is a horrible set-up," complained Fikes, as Ortiz spent the countdown to the judge's arrival taking one last look at her notes. They were up against Team 10, Kristy Avino '03 and Doug Nagengast '03. Paper multiplied across counsels' worktables as all four "attorneys," clad in black suits, got organized. The witnesses sat in the gallery reviewing their lines.
"ALL RISE," boomed the bailiff as judge Andy Silverman entered, bedecked in black robe. The sense of "classroom" yielded to "courtroom" so convincingly that even spectators felt compelled to rise. Fikes and Ortiz took on the air of prosecutors, Avino and Nagengast, of defense lawyers. Preliminary motions flew, judge Silverman issued rulings. Time for the prosecution's opening statement.
A twang interrupted the silence as Fikes released from a rubber band a rolled-up floorplan, which she would tack to the wall with decorative refrigerator magnets as the trial progressed. She rose to address Silverman, who sat as judge but also was a stand-in for the non-existent jury. "This case is about the violent jealousy of a woman scorned," Fikes said. Speaking deliberately, slowly, clearly, she laid out what took place in the apartment in Grimesville on the evening of July 4, 2002. "The evidence will show ... " she recited, filling up her allotted time, mindful of the competition's eightminute limit for opening statements. Finally, the bailiff held up a timecard warning her that she needed to start wrapping up. Fikes paced. as she spoke, punctuating her words with gestures, simulating a punch, improvising a stabbing.
Thus began the Mock Trial Competition.

How did the students handle the witnesses? Competently-and with a touch of humor. A few vignettes:
Martina Rossetti, the complaining witness, swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. "Since I thought Jim was pretty cute, I made him give me a kiss, " testified Rossetti, whom the mock trial problem described as 5-foot 6-inches, 135 pounds with dark blonde hair and blue eyes. These words were spoken, however, by a tall, slightly balding, darkhaired male student playing the part of Rossetti and doing nothing to camp up his performance. Nor did the slightest smirk cross the prosecutor's face, despite the incongruity of words and witness.
In another courtroom, counsel struggled with her opponent's conduct on cross-examination. "Your honor," she objected, "he's trying to put words into the witness' mouth. " Overruled. "That's what cross-examination is," growled judge Witkins, who cut a commanding courtroom presence gazing down from his "bench."
Liz Chacko '03, who played the complainant Martina Rossetti in one of the trials, got a taste of how it feels to be a trial witness. "I felt really defensive, like they were attacking my character," she reported about her ordeal on cross-examination. The attorney "wouldn't let me explain things that could have been explained." She felt more comfortable on direct, but said that the defender's constant objecting "threw me off."
"Your honor, " she objected, IIhe's trying to put words into the witness' mouth." Overruled.
IIThat's what cross-examination is," growled the judge.
CROSS-EXAMINATION What exactly did the competitors do to prepare both to defend and prosecute the same case? The teams were required to alternate between being prosecutors and defense attorneys. If a team prosecuted one week, it defended the next week, switching twice during the preliminary rounds of competition. The thick factual ambiguities planted in the mock trial problem gave each side plenty to work with-once the students started to understand their respective roles and began to dissect the case from each perspective. They had to develop a theory from each perspective and from there figure out how to play up the facts that supported their side and manage the aspects of the story that slanted against them. Crafting a trial strategy put the students' teamworking abilities to the test.
Team 1, Christine Daly '03 and Matthew Foye '03, were poster students in the art of teamwork. Tight friends since their first year of law school and intense students from the get-gotheir first year study group met every morning before breakfastDaly and Foye attended the Mock Trial Competition when they were 1Ls. They vowed that they would sign up as a team in their third year. "We're team number one because we were the first people to sign up," said Daly.
They met five or six times before the first trial, first to decide how to approach getting prepared, then to go through the information, charting out the cast of characters and determining which facts helped the defense and which the prosecution. In their next meetings, they delineated theories of the case for each side. Among the challenges was deciding the best theory to pursue. Was it better for the prosecution to portray Danford, the defendant, as jealous and angry, or as unstable? They concluded that evidence of Danford's mental instability would not be admissible. Preferring instead a story based in common sense that resonated with themes people could relate to, Foye and Daly, as prosecutors, argued that Danford grew violently angry when she entered her old boyfriend's apartment to find him living happily with a new woman. When the time came for them to act as defenders, they used a theory of self-defense: Danford had left Brown because he was abusive, she had a restraining order against him, and when she finally had the courage to remove her remaining belongings from his apartment, he and his new girlfriend turned on her, perpetuating the abusive relationship. With these theories in hand, Foye and Daly merged theory and facts to create an opening statement, direct examination questions, cross examination questions, and closing arguments for the prosecution. The last two weeks of the preliminaries they spent fine-tuning both perspectives.
The competition gave all the students hands-on practice in the lawyerly art of arguing both sides and zealously representing a client's perspective. "It's hard to switch your mindset," said Daly, "but once you believe the story, you can do it." She said that, whichever side you're arguing, the trick is keeping your arguments consistent with the theory you've decided on. "Everything falls into place once you get the story straight," she said.
What did the students discover through this exercise about the realities of trial practice? One of the more obvious lessons was the distinct role prosecutor and defender each play in a criminal courtroom. Foye noticed that the prosecutor focuses on establishing the elements of a crime, while the defense focuses on the story and pokes holes in the prosecution's case.
"Each judge can be as different as night and day," reported Foye, a sentiment also expressed by Team 3's Stacy Race. She noticed that different judges would rule differently on the same evidence.
It was those moments, when contestants failed to get the ruling they were hoping for on a question of hearsay, that drove home the educational value of participating in mock trials. You could practically feel the students mentally regrouping as they were forced to rethink their well-prepared strategies in the glare of the spotlight. There was no way out. They had to push through the disappointment, make adjustments, and plow on.
Dana Zakarian '98, a Boston attorney who judged Teams 8 (Kirsten Voyles and Sara Bryant) and 9 (Fikes and Ortiz) during the second round of trials, had to make some of those rulings and hold students to them. As someone whose scoring would help determine which teams proceeded to finals, what was Zakarian looking for? Demeanor, cleverness, and clarity. His advice to aspiring litigators? "Watch people [litigate]. Talk to friends who have no training in law. Try not to get bogged down in minutiae."
A case that goes to trial is about the facts, Zakarian said, more than it is about the law. Students have to learn to tell the story to the jury, to appear confident, and to command the jury's attention.
So there it is, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, and yet we are left with two questions: Who will be representing BC Law in the Nationals? And who won the 2002 Mock Trial Competition?

A Lingering Anguish
In its failure to communicate, society is creating a terrifying new generation of adolescent criminal.
An attorney general's lament.
T he infamous Zantop murder case of January 2001 alarmed a nation already dismayed by the lengthening list of lethal violence by ado
lescents. The Zantops, a popular Dartmouth College academic couple, were slashed to death in their home near Hanover, New Hampshire, by assailants who turned out to be a pair of "ordinary" teenage boys from a small Vermont town.
A lingering anguish preyed upon the thoughts of one New Hampshire resident in particular. Long after the young killers had confessed and received
their prison sentences, Philip T. McLaughlin '74 remained beset by thoughts of social breakdown; a culture some
how gone rotten; a falling away of "context" for certain violent eruptions by teenaged Americans with no prior history of antisocial behavior. As he continued to push his personal search for an explanation, the concept of "degradation" took hold in his thoughts: a degradation of our culture via certain failings in American public and civic life.
That was not so unusual. Many people, trekking

the uncharted territory of inexplicable brutality among the young, have arrived at similar dark notions. What makes McLaughlin'S journey distinctive is that he is no ordinary onlooker; certainly no hand-wringing alarmist or humid doom sayer. He is a former Navy man (an anti-submarine warfare officer aboard a destroyer escort) with two active Marines among his five children. He is a case-hardened former county prosecutor. And until he resigned last December after the electoral defeat of his sponsor, Democratic Governor Jean Shaheen, Phil McLaughlin had served for five years as New Hampshire's Attorney General. Among the cases he prosecuted was the one involving Robert Tulloch and Jimmy Parker, the teenaged murderers of Dartmouth professors Half and Suzanne Zantop. For months after his duties in the case were over, the dark deeds wrought by these materially well-off but emotionally broken boys left a deep imprint on him. They spurred him to reveries of his own boyhood in a densely interconnected, richly humanizing community hive in workingclass Nashua. When McLaughlin speaks of "context," this hive is what he has in mind. And Parker and Tulloch symbolize its decline and fall.
" When I think of my childhood," McLaughlin said, "I don't do it to bring
people back to the 'Extraordinary Days of Yesteryear' ; I do it because to me it operates as a social control.
"My upbringing was so ordinary. My father was a cop. We lived in a small upstairs apartment in Nashua on the corner of Foundry Street. It was the Irish Acre, which from the 1800's, right up through the 1950's, was populated by people who went to St. Patrick's Parish. My family was around me. Myentertainment was an AM radio. My dad would let me listen to Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, the Green Hornet, the Lone Ranger, programs like that. When I walked outside my back door and looked right, I was looking at the church, two blocks over, a ninety-second walk. The church was my universe-Sacred Heart school, St. Patrick's Parish."
These memories made it all the more baffling for McLaughlin as he tried to analyze the motives of these two latter-day products of a peaceful small town and loving families. It was Parker, the follower, more than Tulloch, the apparent mastermind, whom McLaughlin found most enigmatic, and distressing.
"The impression that Tulloch conveyed was one of detached contempt," the attorney general recalled, still clearly puzzled by it. "You could see it in the way he would look at people. He was smirking. He gave a sense of derision, to the point where it would make one think that apart from his clear legal responsibility, this human being has not connected with what he has done yet, because no human being who is connected would persist that way.
"That contrasted rather dramatically with Jimmy Parker. Parker gave every impression of being completely earnest in that courtroom. He was struggling virtually all the time to maintain his composure. He addressed the Zantops' daughters. He looked them in the eye and he uttered the words, 'I'm sorry.' And I think there was no one there who didn't believe it. And there was no one there who didn't appreciate the inadequacy of the statement; but that it was the only thing that one could say."
McLaughlin's mouth tightened a bit as he recalled the ensuing moments.
"When he did that, he looked over his
22 Be L AW MAGAZIN E I FALL I W I N TER 2002
left shoulder, to his mother, who was in the courtroom. And the vision of this boy, looking at his mother .. .it's as though his mother was watching him being sucked into a whirlpool at sea and couldn't do anything, that he was dying in front of her. She was dying, his father was dying, and he was dying. And you distinctly had the sense that whatever may have occurred at the Zan tops,' that this youngster was going to have the horrible experience of reliving it in his conscience: that whatever may have happened, his punishment
would be that he had a conscience. "In a sense, that was kind of a moral
redemption for him, as I perceived it. I was glad for him. I was glad for him that he could have those feelings . Because at least I had some faith that there was a humanity there I could connect with."
McLaughlin turned briefly back to Parker's companion in the crime.
"I think it's easy," he acknowledged, "to do a disservice to Robert Tulloch; to suppose one knows what's in his mind. I
don't. So I concentrate not on my skeptical feelings about Tulloch, but on my observation of Parker. And I say to myself, now wait a minute: I've never seen a situation like his before. There's nothing that I am aware of, nothing shown to me by our investigators or the probation report, that suggested the factors that would be associated historically with a youngster who would commit murder. There was nothing in his school record. No indication of any abuse of alcohol or drugs. No history of any problems with
his family or his school. He didn't appear to have any intellectual deficits. No indication that before this sequence of events he had acted harshly toward other people."
McLaughlin shook his head. "I found the whole thing exceedingly, exceedingly unnerving," he summed up. "Because I couldn't find context or reason for why this might happen within the ordinary zone. "
I n ruminating even to this extent about a closed case, Philip McLaughlin has separated himself
from many politicians and criminaljustice officials. Few of them are eager to probe the philosophical questions that underlie violent juvenile crime. Most prefer to remain in the comfort zone of certain iron-fisted prescriptions: harsher sentences, for example, or lowering the minimum age for capital punishment, or otherwise "sending a message" to alienated kids.
But McLaughlin is not satisfied with such formulas. In his terse, matter-offact way, he has embraced a vision of "citizenship" far more expansive than the prevailing modes of consumership and narrow self-interest. ("My sons and I see our military obligations not with any kind of right-wing superpatriotism," he says, "but as a community service.") An enlightened concern for the young is central to his vision. Dur-ing his tenure as New Hampshire's AG,
this former school board member carved out a special commitment to juvenile justice and early intervention with children at risk. Much of his effort, he said, took its inspiration from Governor Shaheen.
"While she was in office, she did many things that the media gave scant attention to," he said. "She focused tremendous energy and political capital on developing programs in service of kids. She generally kept trying to focus public policy on issues of early child-
hood development, especially the capacity for the community to intervene early. That doesn't mean a whole lot in well-integrated families, but it can make a huge difference in families with some liabilities. We're talking here, to a very large extent, about single parent households with moms."
McLaughlin's own efforts centered on "mentoring," or the idea of adult-child learning partnerships that is gaining popularity among people with an eye to the crisis of marginalized youth. "I consulted with the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and the grants unit here to put together a state-wide mentoring initiative. It's good. We actually formulated a printed business plan. I'm talking about effective relationships between adults and kids who lack those relationships. We're trying to foster that."
I t is the gulf that separates these and other good intentions from a unified national initiative on behalf of alienated kids
that most concerns Phil McLaughlin. This gulf moves him to thoughts of social breakdown and a culture fallen prey to degradation. He is clear-eyed that this breakdown is largely ascribable to poverty, single-parent families, drugs, and other deep-rooted social ills. But McLaughlin insists that Americans must face up to another source of disintegration: a source perhaps too routinely pigeonholed (and dismissed, after decades of debate) as "the media."
McLaughlin prefers to address it through a slightly different, fresher prism: that of "discourse." In his view, while TV and the press ignore the kind of "unsexy" initiatives that he and Governor Shaheen labored to enact, they generate a constant barrage of images and rhetoric that actively inflame the dark passions of those most at risk. Thus, while others dream of intimidating young people away from crime by "sending them a message," McLaughlin's view is that America has sent its young (and everyone else) far too many "messages" already: "messages" driven by hard ideology and profit-making, not nurturing motives; messages that are logically reductive and morally sterile; messages that reinforce an adolescent's natural receptivity to the simplistic, the sensual, and the emotionally charged. This "degradation of the human condition through media," as McLaughlin terms it, defeats the subtle but vital interests of community and civic vision.
"I'm concerned," he said, "with the question of whether people are [any
longer] capable of engaging in discourse that is calculated to examine proposed solutions to and resolve some of our most pressing problems. Some of these problems are extraordinarily complicated and require great thought, but can be destroyed by media and generalization."
As an example, McLaughlin cites the great debate over healthcare at the beginning of President Clinton's first term.
"There were hundreds of thousands of thoughtful discussions and considerations of public policy," he recalled, "with the view toward taking the nation toward some concept of nationalized healthcare. One could agree or disagree with the concept, but you would have to respect the fact that it was based upon a considerable amount of thoughtful discussion.
"And then in the heat of the debate, the [advertising] industry produced this very small commercial that had two middle-aged people talking about the potential healthcare reforms, and just dismissing them as an intrusion. It had an enormous effect.
"So here is the media, which is omnipresent, infecting this great question with the most simple of generalizations. It uprooted and destroyed thoughtful discourse. That was the message I got out of that. It made me very, very skeptical about the question, how do we deal with complex issues?
"Now, I'm a person who is looking for thoughtful discourse. And the political leadership of the country will not engage in that because it's too risky. They revert to slogans. Nothing else. And the adult community of this country permits that. Facing such complexity all around us, it seems to me that the level of intellectual discourse shrinks and shrinks and shrinks. And I think that is a significant long-term problem."
With specific respect to the crisis of alienated youth, McLaughlin believes that this "degradation of discourse" is potentially cataclysmic. Youth-oriented media habitually abolish context and social ideas, blur nuance, and replace these lost values with
the very modes of smirking contempt, ironic detachment, and bullying, unprovoked aggression that now and then get replicated in the impulses of children for whom nothing much else is going right. His own cherished icons of AM radio-Sergeant Preston, the Green Hornet, the Lone Ranger-have long since been replaced by the snarling, chortling, trash-talking shock-jocks for whom no cruelty, no profaning of human dignity, is too extreme. (The Phoenix disc jockey who last October phoned up the recently widowed wife of St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile in her hotel room and asked her, live on the air, for a date, will serve as one sordid example among tens of thousands.)
Like most people-including most experts-Phil McLaughlin finds it far easier to state the problem than
to propose answers, and he is humbly aware of this. "I'm not suggesting any kind of reform program," he says. "I'm saying that the degradation of the culture seems to me so manifest that while I don't know of any particular outcome, I know enough to ask the question, 'How could there not be some outcome?' Are our children just going to have to remain at risk until the society changes? That's absurd. Society in that sense isn't going to change. So it is up to individuals: what is the adult responsibility for the moral, cultural, and emotional formation of our children? Because for a prolonged period of time, when they're young, we have the capacity to keep them in a reasonably emotionally sheltered environment and give them some baselines of human empathy."
As Citizen Philip McLaughlin returns to private practice in Laconia, he may not develop the far-reaching "answers" to teenaged alienation of the sort that anxious parents and others hunger for. Nor would that be really necessary. The hard work he has done on behalf of children, and the work he seems likely to continue, is "answer" enough-but only if those selfsame "anxious parents and others"; that is, the rest of us-were to join him in it.

You think you've heard all the stories of 9/11?
Debra Steinberg's work to rebuild victims' lives proves otherwise.
By Vicki Sanders
Debra Brown Steinberg '79 grew up in the 1950s and 1960s knowing the personal disgrace of discrimi
nation. A child of a Jewish family in deeply segregated Nashville, Tennessee, she encountered classmates who taunted her. Such experiences, rather than hardening her, awakened her belief in human dignity, a conviction that some thirty years later would manifest in unforeseen ways after the World Trade Center towers fell in New York City.
By September 11, 2001, Steinberg had become a prosperous securities litigator and partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, a 211-year-old firm four blocks from the site of the terrorist attacks. She had married an investment banker and had two stepchildren headed into law careers. Though she'd remained committed to public service through various pro bono projects, she spent most of her professional life in the legal upper echelons, working on corporate, business, and financial-related litigation and on fraud cases against the likes of Ivan Boesky, Dennis Levine, and Michael Milken. Indeed, at the time of the attacks, she was

preparing for a vacation after settling a major securities suit in Texas.
Sixteen months have passed since the towers collapsed, taking some 2,800 lives with them. Steinberg's world-and that of victims she's helped in the aftermath-has changed irrevocably.
Within days of the attack, she was asked to supervise Cadwalader's 9/11 pro bono efforts on behalf of individual families. The commitment has grown to thirty clients, primarily the relatives of fire fight-
26 Be LAW MAGAZ INE FA LL I W IN T ER 2002
ers and low-wage restaurant workers killed on the job. Many were members of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union Local 100. Steinberg is personally handling ten of the cases, many of which involve complex immigration, estate, and social services issues. Language and cultural differences further complicate her clients' situations. "They are not an easy population. You have to fight for them for everything," she explains.
Their plight struck a familiar Tennessee
chord in Steinberg. "I've always felt an affinity for people who needed help being heard or needed a chance to do whatever their merit would allow them to do," she explains. "The people I'm working with now-I've never respected a group more than these families. They face every obstacle you can imagine, and they do so with incredible dignity and courage."
Professionally, Steinberg was not accustomed to dealing with the kinds of problems her new batch of clients faced. "It is not what I was trained to do, so this is a new dynamic for me," she admits. But precisely because she didn't have ready answers she was motivated to strike out in new directions to help them.
Steinberg explains that in the past if her firm were retained to do pro bono divorce work for, say, a woman who also had battering, immigration, and substance abuse issues, the firm would handle only the divorce piece of the problem. For the woman's other concerns, she'd have to go elsewhere in the not-for-profit sector and get assigned another lawyer. Today, Cadwalader's 9/11 clients, and those of many firms in New York, are receiving more holistic representation, thanks in part to Steinberg.
Her actions have resulted in innovative strategies that are being applauded in legal circles for their potential to change the nature of pro bono work for years to come. The New York Law Journal, for instance, recently recognized the efforts of Steinberg and Saralyn Cohen of Shearman & Sterling for helping to create a new "one-stop shopping model" for pro bono undertakings.
Steinberg, who says, "I never do anything small," has become a matchmaker of sorts, establishing networks of attorneys and other experts, devising policy to streamline everyone's efforts, and organizing collaborative initiatives to avoid duplication and give the clients more clout. She has even changed New York law.
Some of the families, when trying to qualify for relief funds, ran afoul of a state statute requiring that next-of-kin seeking to be named administrators be US citizens or legal residents. Steinberg and her colleagues discovered that banks or other financial institutions wouldn't stand in as administrators because of the liability they'd assume under the "fiduciary trust" provision of the law. The New York State Attorney General's office asked Steinberg to draft legislation to replace the fiduciary trust standard with the "good faith" standard. "I'd never read probate law," Steinberg says, "and 1 had twenty-four hours to do this." So she called
on experts in her expanding network for help. The bill made it to Albany on time, and the September 11 Victims and Families Relief Act passed in May 2002.
Also realizing that there was no clearinghouse for the myriad services needed by the victims, families, and businesses affected by the attacks, Steinberg produced a handbook of public and private assistance resources. Published in three installments, it contains information on more than 500 agencies, organizations, funding sources, and the like. Cadwalader devoted hundreds of hours to the book and donated it to New York City by putting it online at www.cadwalader.com and www.probono.net. and by making hard copies available to charitable organizations. (For copies, contact Steinberg at [email protected].)
Even though Steinberg has been busy with such big-picture efforts, she hasn't lost sight of the real reason behind them-the people she's assisting. People like Blanca Gutierrez de Paz, whose son Victor, a pastry chef at Windows on the World in the North Tower, perished on September 11. Gutierrez came to America from Colombia after Victor's death and has faced numerous hurdles while preparing her petition to the federal Victims Compensation Fund.
Peruvian Gloria Bautista is another grieving mother. Her son, Ivhan Carpio Bautista, was working his way through law school as a cook at Windows on the World, when he was killed. When Bautista got to New York, Steinberg helped her complete the mountain of paperwork she encountered. Bautista suffered more personal tragedy after returning to Peru, and again Steinberg went into action, this time arranging with the Red Cross for the family to receive grief counseling. She hopes that Bautista's situation will generate awareness about the mental health needs of victims' families living abroad.
According to Steinberg, immigrants and foreign nationals have had a particularly tough time coping with the American-and sometimes their own nations'bureaucracy in the wake of 9/11. "I'm working to make sure they're not treated as second-class victims. We believe everyone who died .. .it's one big family, and they should be given the same respect."
Some victims' families were here on visas as dependents and have faced deportation after the death of the primary visa holder. Other victims were undocumented, which has made it difficult to certify their employment history or even to prove their
existence. Without such proof, death certificates cannot be obtained, and without death certificates, families can be denied services and compensation. Steinberg helped set up a project with New York Lawyers for the Public Interest and the Robin Hood Foundation to assist families with credible claims in their death certificate research. Still other victims' family members, like Gutierrez and Bautista, came from abroad after the attacks needing assistance to settle their loved ones' affairs.
fallen, Steinberg has conducted lengthy interviews with her clients whose relatives died on 9/11. The resulting affidavits are as much emotional oral histories for the families to keep as they are powerful advocacy tools. Steinberg plans to use them to ensure that people like Kenneth Feinberg, special master of the Victims Compensation Fund, see her clients as human beings with extenuating compensatory needs, not as people whose destinies can be easily calculated using a
"The people I'm working with now-I've never respected a group more than these families. They face every obstacle you can imagine, and they do so with incredible dignity and courage."
Scarlyn Mejia Peguero's situation was somewhat different. A Dominican Republican, she lived with her father and was attending Mercy College at the time of the terrorist attacks. He died, leaving his dependent daughter in a quandary. With Steinberg's help, Peguero has been able to stay in college and will graduate this spring. In December, she obtained her US citizenship.
Steinberg says everyone at Cadwalader expected that with thirty or forty lawyers at their disposal, the 9111 clients would have their cases wrapped up in three to four months. "I'm still working fulltime, " she points out. "Their needs come in waves. It's still surprising me. And there are new needs as we go forward."
One of the first cases referred to Cadwalader was a family with seven children. The father had a concierge business serving customers in and around the World Trade Center. The business was destroyed. The mother earlier had been laid off from her job at a social services agency and was in a dispute with her employer, who'd denied her unemployment benefits.
To make matters worse, their landlords wanted to sell the house they lived in and were trying to evict them. Steinberg and her colleagues, coordinating with legal services and other agencies, managed to get the mother her unemployment benefits and to stay the eviction long enough for the family to save up a down payment on a house. They closed on Halloween Day and, after trick-or-treating in their new neighborhood, spent the first night in their new home camped out in sleeping bags. Their case had taken thirteen months.
Partly out of legal necessity but also out of a desire to provide a legacy for the
ready-made allowance formula. In one such interview in her offices last
fall, Steinberg gently asked a brother to talk about his slain younger sibling. "I don't want him to be a bunch of numbers or documents. I want the judge to know him as you knew him," she coaxed.
In the ensuing two hours, as another surviving brother wept silently nearby, the speaker reminisced through a translator, telling how he'd taught their brother the restaurant business, getting him a job as a dishwasher, then helping him wash the dishes so he'd have more time to practice his cooking skills. "I told him, all you have to do is work hard to make it here." He recalled how proud he was when the brother worked his way up to Windows on the World, how it meant he could send more money to their parents in South America. "He didn't drink. He played football. He didn't wait for the knock on the door; he would make it happen," the speaker continued. "He was lucky."
"I really hope that when this is all over my clients will have built their lives," Steinberg says. "I can help them stand on their feet, give them a decent life and the promise of a future for their kids or of something to take away for the old age of their parents."
For Steinberg, whose father, noting how stubborn and strong-willed she was, once told her, "There's only one road for you and that's as a lawyer," the rewards are of a different nature, and she's passing on the legacy. "I'm trying to teach my stepchildren that they don't have to go one way completely in their careers," she says, "that they can use the power and prestige of their profession to help people who can't speak for themselves." •

PROFILE
Paul Tremblay CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE LESSON AT A TIME
When Paul Tremblay took off hitchhiking to California from his friend's farm in South Dakota
in 1973, he was thumbing his way into the unknown.
He had just earned a degree in psychology from Boston College and had no inkling that the trip heralded the start of a career in public interest law. In fact, law school hadn't even crossed Tremblay's mind until he landed on the West Coast. "A friend told me she was going to be taking the LSATs," he recalls. "I was pretty political at the time, as were most people my age. I wanted to do something to change the world around me, and law school seemed to offer that opportunity." It was on to UCLA Law.
Southern California was a world far away from his blue collar roots in Salem, Massachusetts. The son of a General Electric machinist and a homemaker, Tremblay attended Catholic schools before becoming the first in his family to attend college.
While at UCLA, Tremblay worked for a public interest group involved in environmental policy reform, drug law reform, and civil rights, and for the powerful Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, which hired him fulltime after he received his J.D. in 1978.
Soon he found himself in the center of the controversy surrounding foreclosure scams in South Central Los Angeles that threatened the homes of poor African American families. Typically, he says, "companies would sell stucco siding or burglar alarm systems-shoddy merchandise-for outrageous prices and unfair billing schemes that tied the houses to the sales contracts. If [the buyers] missed payments, the company would foreclose on their house. We would have to run in and get a restraining order to prevent them from selling the houses." Legal Aid's

Tremblay. on his work with the Be Legal Assistance Bureau: "We were representing the salt of the earth."
efforts received a lot of media attention. "It was sad to see what was happening," Tremblay says, "but as a lawyer, you could really make a difference."
When he returned to Boston in 1982, hoping to land a legal aid job, he found himself drawn instead to a clinical supervising position at BC Law's Legal Assistance Bureau (LAB). "I came here telling people that I would do this kind of work for a couple of years and get some visibility
from local legal aid offices. Twenty years later, I'm still at Be. I just loved it here."
An avid Red Sox fan and bicyclist, Tremblay settled comfortably on the North Shore, where he and his wife, Linda Beattie, raised their two children.
In all this time, his enthusiasm for clinical teaching hasn't diminished. Through the LAB in Waltham, Massachusetts, he has introduced hundreds of students to hands-on public interest lawyering. One
recent course focused on homelessness litigation that led to Tremblay and three of his students to take on a New York bank that had foreclosed on property abandoned by its landlord. The bank was threatening the tenants with eviction. "We were representing the salt of the earth, families with kids who had been through real degradation," Tremblay says. Hours of solid preparation and skillful negotiating resulted in a favorable settlement. "The lawyer from the bank really was impressed with the work of the second years," he notes. "By the end, we had become friends and were able to wrap up the case in a very collegial way."
Tremblay has also taught legal ethics for many years, has written numerous articles on the subject, and is co-chair of the Boston Bar Association's Ethics Committee.
"BC seems like the best place to be doing my line of work," Tremblay says. "What I do fits perfectly within the Jesuit traditionthe commitment to service, intellectual pursuits, a focus on ethics. This is a place that is reaffirming for this kind of work."

Dual Degrees
KELLER RUNS PROGRAM LINKING LAW AND EDUCATION
Professor Elisa beth Keller has been appointed Law School Coordinator of the Law School and Lynch School
dual degree law and education programs. Her appointment makes official an arrangement between the two schools that was previously informal.
Keller has for some time worked with the BC Law dual degree students, and now assumes the more formal role, working with her counterpart in the Lynch School of Education, Professor Diana Pullin, to develop and coordinate the curricular aspects of the program.
As coordinator, Keller will review new course offerings, investigate field-based possibilities, and work directly with dual degree students to foster communication and program support.
"Professor Keller is ideally suited for this role," said BC Law Dean John Garvey. "Her efforts ensure that we continue to
prepare our students well for careers in this challenging and important field."

Careers Celebrated
BERRY, DONOVAN RETIRE
D ozens of friends and colleagues celebrated the careers of retiring Professors Robert Berry and Peter Dono

A True Sport
At the retirement party, colleague John Flackett praised Berry'S "enormous integrity and personal courage," adding that "whatever you do in your retirement, you
will do with your awesome confidence and rare style."
Often, when a professional athlete retires from competition, he leaves a legacy of innovative plays and memorable moments. With the retirement of Berry, a similar legacy endures. As leader of the emergence of sports law as its own field, Berry piloted enormous changes through three decades . "Back in the 1970s, there was no recognition of sports and entertainment as a specialty. There was a dramatic change in the 1980s, because of people like Bob Berry, " Robert Corporale '65, a lawyer

which threatened interruption of tens of millions of dollars of federal funds to their universities.
In his address, Congressman Frank sympathized with the impossible position into which Boston College and other schools had been put, and he urged work to overturn the Solomon Amendment and the discriminatory policies of the US military. He discussed the failure of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which has been in effect since 1993, noting that it has resulted in more, rather than less, discrimination and exclusion based on sexual orientation.
He also reminded the crowd that discontent with the Solomon Amendment and with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is not anti-military, but rather, just the opposite: people truly want to serve their country, and some of them are being denied that honorable opportunity on the basis of sexual orientation.
The law school faculty has formed a Task Force on Nondiscrimination and Military Recruiting Policy, chaired by Professor Alan Minuskin. Students, facuity, alumni, and staff are working to address, reconcile, and remedy as fairly as possible, the tension imposed by the school's recent compromise of its commitment to nondiscrimination.

losing business contracts as it is with losing an ally in the war on terror, claiming, outrageously in light of the circumstances, that American companies are more sensitive to human rights than Chinese companies would be. And its contention that the war on terror is the only thing keeping Indonesia in the fight against al Qaeda is farcical. Indonesia has long struggled with terrorists, and now has its own bone to pick with them after the recent bombing of a Bali nightclub.
In the 9/11 case, denying victims' families their day in court in order to maintain an already tenuous alliance for war seems obscene, and would be so unpopular that it is unlikely to happen. But what does it say about the US-Saudi alliance-and the Iraqi war effort-that it requires us to sacrifice the very fundamentals for which we purport to fight?
Principles matter. They give Americans the moral authority to claim that democracy and freedom are noble and full of hope while terrorism and totalitarianism are ugly and full of hate. Principles keep us from turning into terrorists and dictators ourselves.
The worst thing the United States can do in this hour of international turmoil is to abandon its principles the moment they interfere with its ability to get what it wants. The best thing it can do is to be the shining example that many of us still believe it can be, by allowing its legal system to do its work.

IN MEMORIAM
Goodbye, Good Friend
RICHARD 1. KANER '81
Richard Kaner '81, a principal at Ogden Financial in Boston, died of cancer April 5, 2001, at the age of forty-seven. Classmates David w: Ellis and Ruth Kaplan shared these remembrances of him.
From David Ellis, Chicago, lllinois: Rick was a "kidder" and that endeared
Kaner him to many of us. I also remember him telling a lot of stories. One concerned a
job interview where the interviewer spilled water on his chair. Lacking a paper towel or handkerchief, he picked up Rick's resume and used it to soak up the water. "At that point," said Rick, "I knew my chances of getting a callback were zilch."
During law school, Rick bartended at a dive in Cleveland Circle. We often left the library late at night to help him close the bar at 2 a.m. We'd then go to IHOP for breakfast and sleep through our 9 a.m. classes. Rick was the center of our social life for a good part of our law school experience. After we graduated, he stayed in touch with a lot of people and kept us abreast of each other's activities. When my daughter, Madelaine, was born, Rick called, excited that we rwo friends, hundreds of miles apart, should pick the same name for our daughters.
Rick will remain an indelible part of my BC Law School experience and he will remain a true friend.
From Ruth Kaplan, Brookline, Massachusetts: It is both easy and difficult to write about my dear friend Rick Kaner. Easy, because there is so much positive to remember. Difficult, because the loss is so profound. I have so many fond-and humorous-memories. We hooked up with each other on the first day of class and became inseparable, clinging together for dear life to survive year one "boot camp" at law school.
Rick was such a funny guy. I remember the first day when we discovered that all our courses were in Stuart 315. In other words, we weren't going anywhere; we would be stuck in the same room for the whole shebang. We settled into our permanent spots in the next-to-last row and there we sat the whole year. Four other guys became part of our friendship circle: David Donnelly, Frank Lynch, Mark Dost, and Mike "Doc" Livingston. We took turns getting trays of lousy coffee for each other during breaks.
Rick was incredibly warm, funny, fun-loving, loyal with a capital L, grounded, fair-minded, and solidly rooted in reality. Often when we were discussing a case, Rick would ask, "So what's the bottom line?" So much so that we actually employed the initials "B. L." to signify the bottom line when we wrote our case summanes.
Rick's spirit and sense of fun will remain with us always. He was one of a kind, and our world is diminished without him.
A Women of Many Firsts
SHEILA MCGOVERN '60
he Honorable Sheila E. McGovern '60, first justice of Middlesex Probate and Family Court, died November 12, 2002. One of only three women in her graduating class, she
went on to become the first woman president of both the Boston College Law School and the Boston Collge alumni assoClatlOns. She also served as president of the Massachusetts Association of Women Lawyers.
For embracing the ideals of leadership, justice, and public service, McGovern received the 1975 BC Alumni Association Award for Excellence in Public Service and the 1980 Judge of the Year Award from the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys. BC Law also honored her with the 1988 St. Thomas More Award. She had the additional distinction of being the third woman appointed to the probate court.
Her portrait hangs in Stuart House on the Law School campus.

CLASS CREATES FUND
T he Class of 2002 has created the Holly Riley Loan Forgiveness Fund in honor of late classmate Katherine Holly Riley. Riley, who died last fall after a long
illness, was a native of Wellesley, Massachusetts, and a 1991 cum laude graduate of Georgetown University. After entering law school in 1999, she worked at the Hale & Dorr Legal Services Foundation in Jamaica Plain and served on the Board of Directors of the Waukeela Foundation to raise funds for summer camp scholarships.

The goal is to raise $100,000 to endow a fund to help graduates working in public interest jobs pay back their loans. "We very strongly believe the Class of 2002 will meet the goal within five years," says Lisa Tenerowicz '02, a member of the organizing committee. The class raised nearly $70,000 in its first year. Riley's interest in and dedication to public interest law inspired her classmates to honor her memory in this way, Tenerowicz says.

'I'm Not the Norm'
MARTIN EBEL'S REMARKABLE STORY
M rtin Ebel '94 loves a good story, which is why he loves his job. Ebel practices employ
ent and discrimination law, a field in which cases are won or lost less on the legal fine points than on the strength of the tale that is told. "The stories are all so different," says Ebel, with a twinkle in his brown eyes. "It keeps your attention."
Of course, no story is as different or as attention-grabbing as Ebel's. For starters, the forty-four-year-old lawyer is a double amputee, having lost both legs in a fluke accident when he was twenty-five. A front-end loader he was using to clear sand from his grandmother's lakefront property in Michigan malfunctioned just

as he was dumping the last bucketful into the lake. Ebel was pitched over a retaining wall and into the water; the machine landed on top of him.
"I was pinned for forty-five minutes, up to my neck in water," Ebel recalls. His condition was critical. One leg was virtually severed; the other developed gangrene.
According to his doctors, Ebel's story should have ended there. But Ebel thought otherwise. To hear him tell it, a lot of his drive was born the moment his head popped above the water. "When you've accepted that you're going to die and you don't, you get a totally different perspective on everything."
Back from the Brink Ebel fought his way back. He learned to use a wheelchair and to walk with crutches and prosthetic legs. He finished college. After working his way up the corporate ladder at a structural steel company in his native Michigan, he decided to move east and enroll in law school. He met his wife Michelle Ahmed, a BC graduate, the sum-

mer before the bar. They were married in Trinity Chapel on the Law School campus. "I walked down the aisle with a single cane," he says. "Not bad for a guy with no knees."
After spending three years in commercial litigation at Peabody and Arnold, Ebel decided to venture out on his own. But it was not until working an employment suit with BC Law classmate Jay Shepherd '94 that Ebel felt he'd found his niche. In 1999, the classmates started their own employment and discrimination law practice, Shepherd and Ebel.
But that's hardly the end of the story. Ebel is also a passionate golfer, though
he admits relearning how to play the game without legs was "incredibly frustrating." Hitting the ball from his wheelchair or standing in prosthetics proved clumsy, so he started showing up at golf courses on a three-wheel scooter. It wasn't perfect-the
scooter would tip up on two wheels during big swings-but it was workable.
Still, this was pre-American Disabilities Act, and golf courses had no idea how to handle him. "I had to sweet-talk them into letting me play," he says.
Ebel now plays with a golf cart ("car" in industry parlance) designed for disabled golfers . While it's less of a visual standout than the scooter, it still raises eyebrows. "I'm not the norm on the golf course," he says. "I mean, I'm driving a car into sand traps." He gets scowls and stares, but most people "think it's a wonderful thing, that there's a machine that will let somebody like me continue to play golf."
Golf has also worked its way into Ebel's law practice. In part because of his profile, a number of golf courses have hired his firm to help them craft anti-discrimination policies. Right now, the firm has just a handful of golf-course clients. But with a
flurry of new regulations in the legal pipeline that would affect golf coursesincluding one that would require every public golf course in the country to stock the type of specially modified golf cart that Ebel now drives-it wouldn't surprise Ebel if that number shot up dramatically in the not-too-distant future.
Even in his off-time, Ebel is working hard to ensure that the future of disabled golf looks a lot different from its past. He is an active member of the National Amputee Golf Association, and the founding president of the United States Disabled Golf Association-two organizations that expose large numbers of disabled Americans to the sport, and provide them with the resources and support they need to play it.
The hope, Ebel says, is that the sight of a disabled golfer on the green will someday be commonplace, not exceptional. "If the USDGA didn't have a need to fill anymore, then that would be a great outcome," says Ebel. And, of course, a great story.

From Lawyering to Acting
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
When Rhona Silver bush '92 approached adulthood, she did as her parents bid her to do; she rel
egated theater to an avocational role in her life and earned degrees in psychology and law, practical choices with which she could earn a living. But an odd thing happened on her way to a sensible career. She got sidetracked by Shakespeare.
Silverbush's life hasn't been the same since she realized in the fall of 1997-while practicing immigration law in Manhattan and taking theater courses at New York University in her spare time-that younger students in her classes had nothing to help them understand how to do Shakespeare. When she shared the observation with her former Brandeis University drama classmate Sami Plotkin, the friends immediately hit upon an idea: to create a tool kit for actors preparing the Bard's monologues for classwork, auditions, or the stage.
Soon they had a sample chapter and a prospective publishe.t; but it took almost three years of winnowing down nearly 500 monologues to a select 152, of neglecting husbands and friends, and of working every day, often into the wee hours curled up in pajamas at the compute.t; to complete Speak the Speech! Shakespeare's Monologues Illuminated.
Published last September by Faber and Faber, the 1,028-page paperback is written with scholarly accuracy but with a style and sense of humor that take the intimidation out of auditioning with Shakespeare. A chapter explaining how to work with the playwright's meter, for example, is called "What Is This Stuff?"
imagined it-her king is a dud, she has bothersome responsibilities .... "
The approach, Silverbush says, is intentionally accessible. "When we sat down to write, we asked ourselves what we'd wished we had when we were preparing monologues." This means that, among other things, each selection is annotated and comes with a timeline and a note on the frequency with which the monologue is used in auditions.
Today, Silverbush's professional life is an eclectic jumble of coaching (professional actors), teaching (at Columbia University'S Teaching College), and writing (she's working on books about rage and on funding terrorism and considering a volume of monologues from Restoration-era comedies).
Ironically, her BC Law course in legal reasoning, research, and writing is one of her own most valuable artistic tools. It taught her to write with clarity. "My friends see law school all over (the book]," she says, "and I give BC Law School full credit."
-Vicki Sanders
The book is also full of fun-toread asides about characters, history, and language that provide ready context and understanding. In their commentary about a Queen Margaret monologue from Henry VI, Part Two, the authors explain, "Here is a fun piece if you wish to dish, if you've an urge to purge, if you're out to pout ... and shout. Margaret feels she's been had: nothing about being the Queen is as she's
Rhona Silverbush '92 has written the most comprehensive sourcebook of Shakespeare's monologues ever available in one volume.

Your Life and the Law
MAINTAINING A BALANCE
H ave you ever found it difficult to strike a balance between your practice and your personal life? President of the BC Law Alumni Association Joanne Locke '87, in reaching
out to students and young alumni, recently gathered a group of seven lawyers to speak on just that conflict. The conference, "Your Life and the Law: Is It Possible to Maintain a Balance?" was held on campus and moderated by Professor James Repetti '80.
Panelists offered hints and strategies for maintaining a satisfying life outside of law while remaining committed to one's profession. Locke advised, "It is essential to look at how a firm puts its abstract ideal into practice." Julianna Rice '93 suggested, "You need to get more comfortable leaving some things undone."
Joanne Romanow '80 added that making one's family priorities clear at the outset is imperative. "You have to say, 'This is my commitment.' I tell my clients up front so they know what to expect," she said.
One final piece of advice from Lorry Spitzer ' 81 drew laughter and applause from the seventy attendants. "Marry and have children with another BC Law grad."

TRIAL AND ERROR Continued from page 19
At the end of the semi-finals, two teams were left standing. They will take Boston College to the nationals. They are Daly and Foye, and Eugenia LaFontaine and Nicholas O'Donnell.
Late afternoon at the end of November, prosecutors Daly and Foye and defenders LaFontaine and O'Donnell appeared for their final round of competition, this time in the Law School's mock trial courtroom before the Honorable Paul J. Barbadoro '80, chief judge of the United States District Court, New Hampshire. For the first time during the competition, there were student mock jurors in the jury box. The courtroom, which seats thirty-two, was packed with a standing-room-only crowd of friends, family, and faculty. After hearing preliminary motions, the judge invited Daly to make her opening statement.
This was the competitors' sixth week of trials, and it showed. Daly rose, a picture of poise and power. "The defendant had blood on her hands," she told the jury, skillfully framing the literal fact to evoke the familiar expression of guilt. Professor Anderson beamed from her spectator's seat.
When LaFontaine opened for the defense, her naturally low-key, soft-spoken manner made her appear reasonable and trustworthy. She referred to the accused repeatedly as "my client," with just enough emotion in her voice to make the monstrous image Daly painted of Jackie Danford yield to a quiet sense of sympathy for the defendant.
You can see, ladies and gentlemen, that things were off to a strong start, and it remained clear throughout the trial that both teams were closely matched. O'Donnell closed for the defense, reminding the jury that all the confusing and conflicting evidence amounted to the prosecution's failure to prove his client's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Foye closed slashing a knife through the air-this time a real one-raising a gasp from spectators.

It was now, ladies and gentlemen, that the judge took his leave of the courtroom to deliberate. The four contestants shook hands, exchanged compliments, and fidgeted incessantly as they awaited the verdict.
Barbadoro returned shortly, waving for all to remain seated. The score was 47 to 46, out of a possible 60. The winners were Christine Daly and Matthew Foye.
Now Daly and Foye, LaFontaine and O'Donnell are no longer adversaries. They are partners, teammates, going forward to represent their law school in national competition-and to take their mock trial experience to a whole new level.

REPORT ON GIVING 2001 - 2002
HONOR ROLL OF DONORS TO BOSTON COLLEGE LAW SCHOOL
FALL I WINTER 2002 Be LAW MAGAZ INE 47
[REPORT o N GIVING]
HE REPORT ON GIVING recognizes all donors who made a cash or in-kind gift to
Boston College Law School during the fiscal year spanning June 1,2001 to May 31, 2002. Any
gifts recorded before June 1, 2001 were part of last year's totals and report; any gifts recorded
after May 31, 2002 will be recognized in next year's report.
There are three primary sections: the Dean's Council, listing those whose gift for any purpose was
$1,000 or more; the Law School Fund, which includes those contributing to the school's annual giving
program to secure unrestricted gifts; and Capital and Special Purpose Gifts, which includes those who
made gifts to the Law School for any designated purpose other than the Law School Fund. In addition,
there is a section that includes the names of all of the funds to which gifts were made.
FROM THE DIRECTOR
by Alfred A. Blum Jr .
A Record-breaking Year
By almost any measure, fundraising results for fiscal year 2001-2002 were out
standing. Three fundraising achievements are particularly notable: we received the highest overall pledge total in the Law School's history, the Law School Fund set a new record, and the highest number of donors ever, both of pledges and of cash, supported the school. That these
achievements happened is great news by itself. That they happened in a year of national distress and economic uncertainty makes them even more remarkable.
To all those whose generosity made this possible-alumni, friends, law firms, companies, foundations, and current students-I extend the Law School's profound gratitude.
Here's a snapshot of our results. Boston College Law School received a total of $2,669,128 in pledges during FY02. That exceeds last year's total by $1,195,699 and it exceeds the previous highest year (FY98) by $398,667. Total cash received in FY02 was
48 BC LAW MAG AZ INE I FALL I WINTER 200 2
$1,718,158. This is the second-highest total of cash received in the school's fundraising history. The Law School Fund received $902,526. That is an increase of $112,166 over the final FY01 result and an increase of $66,022 over the previous record level set in FYOO. More than 3,100 donors made gifts and pledges to Boston College Law School in FY02.
The importance of those achievements is not in the numbers themselves, as satisfying as they are. The essence of financial support is what it enables Boston College Law School to do in furtherance of its mission. Quite simply, the impact of the philanthropy we celebrate in the following pages can be found throughout the Law School. It underpins and is essential to all that we do to sustain ourselves as one of the premiere law schools in the country.
We are touched and inspired by the affection alumni and friends feel for the Law School. We are honored by the genuine sense of shared partnership that is inherent in every gift we receive. Boston College Law School has been and will continue to be successful because of the sustaining philanthropic support we receive. For all that, I again offer deepest thanks.

1 6 Honoring Her Father
through Endowment 1 6 6 "My father went to war instead of college," says
Joan Lukey '74. "He died too young, at sixty-five. The source of his greatest pride was the fact that
.5 my brother and I graduated from college and law school."
3 To honor her father on the twentieth anniversary 6 of his death, Lukey, a senior partner at Hale & Dorr,
established the Philip E. Lukey Endowment Fund with a $100,000 pledge to the Dean's Fund.
3 6 "Since he didn't have a college of his own, I
2 thought the most appropriate thing to do was establish this fund at my school in his name.
2 I hope this helps a student who couldn't other-
2 wise afford to go, and enhances the curriculum and faculty so that the reputation of Be Law continues to grow."

Classmates Team Up to Fund Professorship In the summer of 2000, Douglas MacMaster got together with some classmates to talk about BC Law School. Out of that gathering grew an initiative to establish an endowed professorship in the name of the Class of 1958. Among those who've played leadership roles in the effort are Robert Trevisani, John Walsh, Walter Wekstein, Robert Sullivan, and Frances Spillane.
Spurred by their efforts, commitments to the Class of 1958 Professorship Fund exceeded $750,000 by the end of fiscal year 2002.
"We had good professors. They gave us a good education and were very fair," MacMaster says. "What I took away from the Law School was the realization that I could probably do anything I wanted to do."

To aid the Law School in this effort, Puzo and his Robert W. Nolting William J. O'Connell Jr.

Carla B. Rabinowitz Drawing inspiration from classmate Professor Frank
Robert L. Raskopf Herrmann, S.J., Puzo sees this gift as helping the Law Janet Roberts School further its mission. "When law students go to Regina S. Rockefeller Haiti to help the poorest of the poor, we wanted Douglas R. Ross this gift to say, 'the community supports you.'" Steven T. Russell

I was one of nine children, and the only one to make it beyond the eighth grade. I value my Be Law education because it bailed me out. It gave me opportunity and a weapon to be successful in life.

Rewarding Drive, Desire, and Excellence "My dad was a lawyer, my mother a college professor. They came from immigrant families-the first generation born in America," says David C. Weinstein '75, chief of administration at Fidelity Investments.
Looking for a way to honor the spirit of his parents, now deceased, Weinstein created the Molly and Phil Weinstein Scholarship Fund with a $300,000 gift "to encourage highpotential students of outstanding academic accomplishment and exceptional merit to attend BC Law," he explains.
"Through this gift, I hope BC will attract students who actively use their education, coupled with their own unique passions and desires, to do their best to make a real difference in the world."

Much of the success I've achieved in law is because of the superb education I received at the Law School. Be also gave me many good friendships that have survived the last three decades.

Ways of Giving to Boston College Law School
here are many ways to make a gift or to fulfill a pledge to Boston College Law School. Those most frequently used are listed below. Each has
its distinctive benefits, depending on the type of asset contributed, the form of gift selected, and the donor's age. The Development Office is prepared to work with donors to fashion the most beneficial gift for the donor, for the donor's family, and for Boston College Law School.
OUTRIGHT GIFTS The quickest and easiest way to make a gift is outright, either by check or credit card. Outright gifts have the most immediate benefit to the Law School because they can be applied right away to the purpose for which the gift is intended.
Outright gifts may also be made using appreciated securities. Many people have stock holdings that have appreciated in value. If some of these shares were sold, they would be subject to capital gains taxes. A gift of appreciated securities allows the individual to avoid capital gains taxes on the contributed shares and to be credited with a gift valued at the full fair market value of those shares.
LIFE INCOME GIFTS Federal tax laws provide ways to structure a gift that provides a stream of income to the donor and/or another beneficiary the donor may name while giving the donor a charitable deduction for his or her philanthropy. Among the most commonly used of such gift vehicles are charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts. Life income gifts provide an immediate charitable deduction to the donor,
even though the Law School's use of the contributed assets is deferred until the term of the gift vehicle has expired.
With life income gifts, it frequently is possible to improve the level of the donor's annual income, even while expressing one's philanthropic interest in Boston College Law School. Through such charitable gifts, a donor may also actually improve the value of the estate he or she wishes to leave to heirs. In the final analysis, the potential advantages of such gift arrangements often enable individuals to make charitable gifts at levels much higher than they thought possible.
LIFE INSURANCE Frequently, donors own a life insurance policy that is no longer needed for its original purpose. Such a policy can be contributed to the Boston College Law School by irrevocably transferring ownership of the policy to Boston College and designating the Law School as the beneficiary. In general, gift credit is given for the cash surrender value and that value may be claimed as an income tax deduction in the year of the transfer.
BEQUESTS Donors may include Boston College Law School as a beneficiary of their estate. Bequests may be made for a specific amount, or for a percentage of the residual estate after all specific bequests have been fulfilled.
To discuss any of these options that may be of interest, please contact the Development Office at Boston College Law School at 617-552-3734. Donors are encouraged to discuss their philanthropic plans with their attorney or tax advisor, especially before undertaking one of the more complex approaches.
Programs That Receive Donor Support Philanthropy may be directed to support virtually any activity of Boston College Law School.

Standing on Principle The Bush administration talks the good talk when it comes to values, but it's quick to
compromise them in the name of foreign policy.
by Michael O'Donnell '04
resident Bush recently wrote in The New York Times that in the post-9111
world America is "determined to stand for the values that gave our nation its
birth." These words embody the most important aspect of America's role in
the world today-our principles. Yet one of our most cherished principles,
commitment to the rule of law, is under assault by the chief executive's recent handling of two diplomatically sensitive lawsuits.
The first was brought on behalf of a group of Indonesian nationals who have accused the ExxonMobil Corporation of turning a blind eye to the rape, torture, and summary executions committed by its plant's security guards in Aceh, Indonesia. Upon Exxon's request, the State Department submitted an amicus brief arguing that the case should be dismissed. The brief expressed concern that the lawsuit could embarrass the Indonesian government, moving it to relax its efforts to prevent al Qaeda from setting up shop in what many believe is its ideal regrouping spot: the scattered islands of the Indonesian archipelago. The brief also mentioned worries that Indonesia might cut off ties with American businesses in its country, choosing instead to offer government contracts to corporations from nearby China.
The second is the much-publicized class-action suit by 9/11 victims' families against members of the Saudi royal family for their alleged role in the terrorist attacks. The plaintiffs argue that the royal family helped bankroll al Qaeda; the royals are alarmed enough to have considered liquidating their American assets. The administration has not yet inter-
66 Be LAW MAGAZI NE I FALL I WINTER 2002
vened, but news sources report that it is keeping close tabs on the case. And for good reason: diplomats warn that the case could imperil US-Saudi relations on the eve of a possible war with Iraq.
These cases raise a critical question for America as it embarks on a new era of internationalism: What matters most in a democracy? The truth of the courtroom, even when it can be uncomfortable? Or a muscular foreign policy, no matter what must be sacrificed to achieve it?
The importance of the cases is not their verdicts. Even if Exxon and the Saudi royal family don't make particularly appealing
~ defendants, it is not a foregone I" conclusion they will be found z ~ guilty. The Indonesia case falls ~ under the Alien Tort Claims Act,
which judges tend to view with skepticism. And a fantastic trillion-dollar damages claim has made the 9/11 case more notable
for its sensationalism than for its merits, which some say are dubious. But the principle at stake is that, regardless of the verdict, plaintiffs in America can come before a court and seek redress without fear of interference by the state. Unless, that is, there's a very good reason.
And the reason in these two cases is shaky foreign policy.
In the Indonesia case, the State Department does not even attempt to hide that it is as concerned with

[ ALUMNI SURVEY ] Boston College Law School is undertaking a strategic planning process, which we hope to complete in Spring 2003. Our goal is
to ensure that we continue to enrich and enhance the educational experience for our students in ways that will prepare them for rewarding professional and personal lives, to strengthen the scholarly dialogue with the legal world, and to enhance interactions with our alumni. The process is under the direction of a committee composed of faculty and senior administrators. We strongly believe, however, that the perspectives of our alumni will usefully inform our discussions and considerations of directions we might take. Thus, this questionnaire is one of the ways we hope to gain a sense of what alumni think and can suggest. Whether you graduated one, ten, or fifty years ago, your input is valuable.
If you have any questions or comments about this survey, please contact Professor Judith A. McMorrow ([email protected] or 617-552-3578) or Jean French ([email protected] or 617-552-6849), coordinators of the survey.
