<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Philanthropy</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
2006-2007
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong><br />
Letter<br />
from the<br />
is on the move. Our engagement<br />
Dean regionally and nationally has heightened<br />
the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s identity, as we build<br />
upon the foundation <strong>of</strong> an excellent<br />
learning environment, a robust community <strong>of</strong><br />
teachers and scholars, and a pervasive ethic<br />
<strong>of</strong> public service. Generous support from our<br />
alumni and friends is a crucial ingredient in<br />
making this great law school even better. You<br />
are central to this success.<br />
initiatives throughout the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> System. The <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>, in collaboration<br />
with the Muskie <strong>School</strong> for Public Service (<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Southern <strong>Maine</strong>), the Margaret<br />
Chase Smith Policy Center (<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> at Orono), and the <strong>Maine</strong> Development<br />
Foundation, is establishing a non-partisan public policy center in Augusta to assist<br />
legislators and other public <strong>of</strong>ficials.<br />
Our students continue to shine, with our graduates achieving over a 90% pass rate on<br />
the most recent <strong>Maine</strong> Bar Exam and launching a wide array <strong>of</strong> careers. The <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> continues to be a destination point — for diverse students, excellent faculty,<br />
and visiting scholars and lecturers. Last Fall, international law expert and Yale <strong>Law</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> Dean Harold Koh delivered a lecture on restoring our human rights reputation.<br />
Kenneth Feinberg shared a moving account <strong>of</strong> his experience as Special Master<br />
for the Federal September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Former U.S. Senator<br />
George Mitchell was our Graduation keynote speaker in 2007, a role filled in 2008 by<br />

In this <strong>Report</strong>, we look back and look forward. We<br />
retired U.S. Circuit Court Judge Frank C<strong>of</strong>fin. Judith Kaye, Chief Judge <strong>of</strong> New York,<br />
will lecture on law and public service in Fall 2008. Laura Underkuffler, distinguished<br />
celebrate the impressive results <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essor at Duke <strong>University</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>, will return to <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> next semester as<br />

2006-2007 <strong>Annual</strong> Fund campaign and foreshadow<br />
the continuing growth in philanthropic support for the<br />
<strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> selected alumni and friends<br />
reflect the strength and commitment <strong>of</strong> our extended<br />
a visiting faculty member, teaching our first-year property law class for a third year in<br />
a row. And, our core faculty sustain <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>’s vibrant educational program and<br />
generate cutting edge scholarship in step with national and global issues.<br />

Rebekah Smith (’98) and Patrick Mellor (’98), who<br />
met in law school, sustain the tradition <strong>of</strong> public<br />
service and look back to their rich experience at<br />
<strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. Dr. Edward David (’87), <strong>Maine</strong>’s Deputy<br />
Chief Medical Examiner, made a major donation this<br />
year to recruit and retain distinguished pr<strong>of</strong>essors<br />
and reflects on the value <strong>of</strong> his education. Ira<br />
Waldman (’76) credits his law school years at <strong>Maine</strong><br />
for his successful career in real estate practice in<br />
California. Roger Putnam, recipient <strong>of</strong> the 2008<br />
Muskie Access to Justice Award, reflects the best <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s values with a lifetime <strong>of</strong> service<br />
to justice in <strong>Maine</strong>. And, the Bernsteins make it a<br />

As we celebrate the success <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Annual</strong> Fund campaign, we underscore the<br />
importance <strong>of</strong> philanthropy in the wake <strong>of</strong> diminishing government support. In 2006-07,<br />
we exceeded our goal <strong>of</strong> $315,000, with over 800 donations and more than a<br />
few five-figure gifts. We anticipate even greater success as we near the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
2007-08 campaign. Thanks to you and your generous support, we are able to fund<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essorships and research grants to retain stellar faculty. The <strong>Annual</strong> Fund enables<br />
us to provide scholarships and attract the best and brightest students from <strong>Maine</strong><br />
and from away. Summer fellowships support law student placement in public interest<br />
legal work, locally and around the globe. We recently launched a new endowment<br />
fund in honor <strong>of</strong> Vincent L. McKusick, former Chief Justice <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Maine</strong> Supreme<br />
Judicial Court, designed to provide support at the <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> for students<br />
from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. With a goal <strong>of</strong> increasing<br />
diversity among law students and lawyers in <strong>Maine</strong>, the Portland law firm <strong>of</strong> Pierce<br />
Atwood has pledged the first $100,000 in our campaign to raise significantly more in<br />
the coming years.<br />

“The best use <strong>of</strong> life is to invest in something that will outlast life.”<br />
— William James<br />
The Bernstein family’s roots in <strong>Maine</strong>’s legal community<br />
extend back to 1915, when Israel Bernstein opened<br />
his solo practice in downtown Portland. He was later<br />
joined by his brother, Louis, then his son Sumner.<br />
Bernstein, Shur, Sawyer, and Nelson, created in<br />
1964, has since become one <strong>of</strong> the leading firms in<br />
Northern New England.<br />
The family connection to <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> began in the<br />
1930s when Louis attended Portland <strong>University</strong> <strong>Law</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong>, a predecessor to <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. Fifty years later,<br />
Sumner’s wife Roz (’86) attained a life-long goal by<br />
obtaining a law degree at the age <strong>of</strong> 57. “It was so<br />
rewarding to be part <strong>of</strong> a new era when women were<br />
beginning to see law as a possible career.”<br />
Roz and the late Sumner Bernstein are among<br />
Portland’s leading philanthropists, contributing to the<br />
<strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> as well as many educational, arts and<br />
cultural institutions throughout the Portland area.<br />
“One <strong>of</strong> the joys <strong>of</strong> living in Portland and in <strong>Maine</strong> is<br />
that one individual can make a big difference,” said<br />
Roz. “Indeed, it’s a great reason to attend <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>.<br />
Portland is one <strong>of</strong> America’s best small cities.”<br />
Roz serves on the Univeristy <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Law</strong> Foundation Board, which she joined in August <strong>of</strong><br />
2005. In addition, she served as founding chair <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Southern <strong>Maine</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Visitors, and<br />
Roz and Sumner were both founding members <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Law</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Visitors, a board on which Roz still serves<br />
today. In 1997, she received the L. Kinvin Wroth Distinguished<br />
Alumna Award.<br />
Giving Back: A Family Approach<br />
The Bernstein Family<br />
Among the family’s early contributions to <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong><br />
were Louis Bernstein’s endowment <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s<br />
District Court Internship Program and the Israel Bernstein<br />
Scholarship Fund, which was later changed to include<br />
Sumner’s name, posthumously. In 2004, the <strong>School</strong><br />
established the Sumner T. Bernstein Pr<strong>of</strong>essorship <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> to<br />
honor Sumner’s public and pr<strong>of</strong>essional service, his vibrant<br />
legal practice, community activism, and contributions to<br />
<strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. Beth Bernstein Schneider, Roz and Sumner’s<br />
Roz Bernstein<br />
Andy Bernstein<br />
Beth Bernstein Schneider<br />
daughter, hopes this pr<strong>of</strong>essorship will promote<br />
excellence in teaching and research, and foster<br />
intellectual exchange between faculty and students.<br />
“My father loved teaching in his pr<strong>of</strong>essional and<br />
personal life. Rarely a day went by in the Bernstein<br />
house without what is now called a ‘teachable<br />
moment.’ He reveled in working with kindergarten<br />
students and with law students and faculty, and this<br />
openness will, I hope, be the hallmark <strong>of</strong> the Sumner<br />
T. Bernstein pr<strong>of</strong>essors.” Schneider is the Director <strong>of</strong><br />
Education for the Royal Academy <strong>of</strong> Art in London,<br />
and recently received the Distinguished National<br />
Museum Educator Award <strong>of</strong> the National Association<br />
<strong>of</strong> Museum Educators. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Jennifer Wriggins<br />
recently was named the first Sumner T. Bernstein<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essor at <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>.<br />
Roz supports <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> because <strong>of</strong> the rewards it<br />
has brought to her. “I have been enriched by so many<br />
experiences and exposed to a broad range <strong>of</strong> people,<br />
institutions, and friendships. I want to continue to<br />
support institutions that have been important to<br />
me in my lifetime. I was always taught that the only<br />
immortality that we enjoy is the good name that we<br />
leave behind.”<br />
Roz and Sumner’s son, Andy, is a 1977 graduate <strong>of</strong><br />
Bowdoin College and a 1980 <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> alumnus and<br />
lives in Cape Elizabeth. He serves as Vice President and Chief<br />
Counsel for Disability Reinsurance Management Services in<br />
Westbrook, <strong>Maine</strong>. “When I hear the stories <strong>of</strong> students who<br />
don’t have the independent means to go to law school, it<br />
means an incredible amount to me to be able to support them<br />
directly through a scholarship and pr<strong>of</strong>essorship that honor<br />
my father and grandfather.”<br />
Andy has served on the Alumni Association Board since 2006.<br />
He also is the Class Agent for his law school class. While<br />
attending <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>, he served as Comments Editor <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> Review. Another <strong>of</strong> his major accomplishments<br />
was the formation, with fellow law students, <strong>of</strong> the oldies rock<br />
‘n roll band, originally named “Danny and the Groovetones”<br />
(for Dan Boutin, ‘80) and later named “The Wingtips.” n<br />

“I give because<br />
I have great<br />
faith in those<br />
who operate<br />
the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
and have<br />
witnessed the<br />
great benefits<br />
to students.”<br />
Roger A. Putnam<br />
Roger A. Putnam, special counsel to Portland<br />
law firm Verrill Dana, is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong>’s very active<br />
public servants, having served in numerous<br />
roles, including Assistant Attorney General from<br />
1951 to 1958. He is the 2008 recipient <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Muskie Access to Justice Award for his career-<br />
long commitment to work that has strengthened<br />
<strong>Maine</strong>’s civil justice system for all people.<br />
Verrill Dana, where Putnam started 50 years<br />
ago, is one <strong>of</strong> northern New England’s leading<br />
law firms and also one <strong>of</strong> the largest employers<br />
<strong>of</strong> graduates from <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. “I haven’t<br />
counted noses around here lately, but I would<br />
say there are a substantial number <strong>of</strong> graduates.<br />
I would encourage any <strong>of</strong> my grandchildren to<br />
give very serious consideration to <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>,<br />
perhaps for the particular reason that I have<br />
had an opportunity to work with many <strong>of</strong> its end<br />
products.”<br />
Putnam is a member <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Visitors for<br />
the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> and was instrumental, along with<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essor and former Dean Colleen Khoury, in<br />
creating the Lewis V. Vafiades Scholarship Fund,<br />
which was established in honor <strong>of</strong> a well-known<br />
Bangor lawyer and friend <strong>of</strong> Putnam to assist<br />
students from northern <strong>Maine</strong>. “I give because<br />
I have great faith in those who operate the <strong>Law</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> and have witnessed the great benefits to<br />
students.” Putnam was a generous donor to the<br />
“Foundations for the Future” capital campaign<br />
and was a member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s capital<br />
campaign cabinet.<br />
Currently, Putnam chairs the <strong>Maine</strong> Judicial<br />
Ethics Committee, appointed by the <strong>Maine</strong><br />
Supreme Judicial Court, and is a former member<br />
and past president <strong>of</strong> the board <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Maine</strong><br />
Equal Justice Project. Putnam is a fellow <strong>of</strong><br />
the American Bar Association and <strong>Maine</strong> State<br />
Bar Association, and has served on the board<br />
<strong>of</strong> directors <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Maine</strong> Bar Foundation. He<br />
currently serves as chair <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Maine</strong> Executive<br />
Committee <strong>of</strong> the Newcomen Society <strong>of</strong> the<br />
United States. n<br />
Dr. Edward David<br />
Dr. Edward David (‘87) graduated from Allegheny<br />
College in 1961 and the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Pennsylvania<br />
Medical <strong>School</strong> in 1965. He came to <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> in<br />
1984 to further his education in forensic medicine,<br />
having previously practiced medicine as a neurologist<br />
and having served in the armed forces. Appointed a<br />
Medical Examiner in 1980, David was named Deputy<br />
Chief Medical Examiner in the <strong>Maine</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Chief Medical Examiner in 1986.<br />
“When I was a student, it meant a lot to me that<br />
classes were small. We had a close group.” David<br />
also credits the talented faculty and appreciates that<br />
they have practical experience. “This gave a real<br />
world approach and meaning to what was being<br />
taught. It allowed me to get a sense <strong>of</strong> how the law<br />
was pursued outside <strong>of</strong> the classroom. I was a non-<br />
traditional student in my late 40’s with an advanced<br />
degree (M.D.) and had experienced the difference<br />
between the classroom and the real world, so I could<br />
really appreciate the difference.”<br />
David has been contributing to <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> because<br />
he prizes education. “I wouldn’t have received an<br />
education in law but for <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. I give so that<br />
students can be assured that they are getting the<br />
best quality education possible.” He gives specifically<br />
toward faculty retention and recruitment and has<br />
included the school in his estate plan. “Hopefully,<br />
it will help the school hold on to its accomplished<br />
faculty by encouraging them with financial incentives<br />
to pursue their interests and pass new knowledge<br />
along to students.” n<br />
“I wouldn’t have<br />
received an education<br />
in law but for <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>.<br />
I give so that students<br />
can be assured that<br />
they are getting the<br />
best quality education<br />
possible.”<br />
Rebekah Smith and Patrick Mellor<br />
For <strong>Maine</strong> natives Rebekah<br />
Smith (‘98) and Patrick<br />
Mellor (‘98), the greatest<br />
benefits <strong>of</strong> attending <strong>Maine</strong><br />
<strong>Law</strong> — aside from meeting<br />
one another — are the<br />
close connection between<br />
students and pr<strong>of</strong>essors, as<br />
well as the extensive network <strong>of</strong> graduates throughout<br />
the state.<br />
Mellor is currently a partner at Strout & Payson in Rockland<br />
where he focuses on land use and civil litigation. Smith is<br />
an administrative hearing <strong>of</strong>ficer in special education due<br />
process proceedings as well as a Policy Fellow at the<br />
Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Maine</strong>, where she is helping to develop a civic leadership<br />
program for college women. They live in Union with their<br />
four-year-old son, Addison.<br />
While at <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>, both Smith and Mellor worked at the<br />
Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic, where they helped criminal<br />
defendants as well as indigent citizens in need <strong>of</strong> estate<br />
planning. This opportunity was a significant asset to<br />
developing their careers. “Our work at the clinic helped us<br />
explore various career options and understand the need<br />
for attorneys to contribute to public service.” Smith is<br />
active in the Union Library Capital Campaign, vice-chair <strong>of</strong><br />
the Union Democrats and on the development committee<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> Initiatives. She recently completed six years on<br />
the board <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Maine</strong> Women’s Fund. Patrick is on<br />
the board <strong>of</strong> Mid-Coast Magnet and Chair <strong>of</strong> the Union<br />
Planning Board.<br />
Having clerked for Judge Frank M. C<strong>of</strong>fin, Smith finds<br />
particular satisfaction in contributing to the annual C<strong>of</strong>fin<br />
Lectureship. “The speakers provide significant visibility<br />
to the school, while allowing students to benefit from<br />
the knowledge <strong>of</strong> experienced advocates working in the<br />
public interest.” Both Mellor and Smith decided to return<br />
to their roots to study law. “The fit became obvious —<br />
a well-respected school, dynamic small city, great<br />
educational value — all in the great state <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong>.”<br />
The couple give to <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> because they still feel a<br />
sense <strong>of</strong> community with the school and their classmates.<br />
“We hope that our gifts will play a small part in ensuring<br />
the continuation <strong>of</strong> quality lectureships and encouraging<br />
students to pursue fulfilling careers in law and public<br />
service.” n<br />
Ira Waldman<br />
When Ira Waldman (‘76) attended <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong>,<br />
he found “a first-rate faculty that does firstrate<br />
teaching and produces first-rate lawyers.<br />
The students who graduate from <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong><br />
are every bit as capable as the students who<br />
graduate from any other top law school in the<br />
country.”<br />
After graduating, Waldman worked for four<br />
years at Unum as legal counsel servicing the<br />
real estate investment department, then moved<br />
to Los Angeles to practice real estate law. “The<br />
fantastic education I received at <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> at<br />
a more than reasonable cost is what prepared<br />
me for the path <strong>of</strong> my career from Unum to<br />
partnership at a major firm, as well as the work<br />
that I do with various pr<strong>of</strong>essional organizations.<br />
The value <strong>of</strong> that education is incalculable. No<br />
matter how much time or money I give to the<br />
<strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>, it can barely compensate for the<br />
education I received.”<br />
“Although I really appreciate those who choose<br />
to stay in <strong>Maine</strong> and serve the state, I try to<br />
show by way <strong>of</strong> example that there are other<br />
opportunities around the country that can<br />
be plenty rewarding, both pr<strong>of</strong>essionally and<br />
monetarily. Of course, the latter enables one<br />
to contribute cold hard cash more than many.<br />
Unfortunately, given the available funds in the<br />
State, we just need more <strong>of</strong> those who are<br />
willing to seek career advancement out <strong>of</strong> state,<br />
but will not forget the value (and values) they got<br />
from the institution that provided the essential<br />
foundation for their success.”<br />
“I am very proud <strong>of</strong> my education. Whenever I<br />
lecture or am on a panel it is important to me to<br />
be introduced as a graduate <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. I want people to know<br />
that, if they appreciate what I am doing, <strong>Maine</strong><br />
<strong>Law</strong> made it possible.”<br />
Since August 2001, Waldman has served<br />
on the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong><br />
Foundation Board. “It is a way to give back<br />
in more than a monetary way.”<br />
A native <strong>of</strong> New Jersey, Waldman is a partner at<br />
Cox, Castle and Nicholson LLP in Los Angeles.<br />
He lives in Playa del Rey, California, with his wife<br />
Laurie. Their two children, Ethan and Shayna,<br />
are currently students at Bates College. n<br />
“No matter<br />
how much<br />
time or money<br />
I give to the<br />
<strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>,<br />
it can barely<br />
compensate for<br />
the education<br />
6 7<br />
I received.”
The Foundation during the past year:<br />
n Formally committed to assist the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> in<br />
raising $100,000 for the purpose <strong>of</strong> planning for<br />
a new law center. This is the initial budget for this<br />

retain a qualified and experienced Director <strong>of</strong> Development<br />
& Alumni Relations (and Foundation Executive Director) to<br />

Preparing For New Challenges<br />
The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> Foundation in the past year began to take<br />
important steps to prepare for imminent and significant challenges in the pursuit <strong>of</strong> its mission:<br />
To raise, manage and distribute funds for the support and improvement <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> and the education it provides, so that it will become<br />
an internationally recognized law school.<br />
Peter McKenney<br />
The Foundation also began a process to attract new<br />
talent and leadership to the Foundation. Since the first<br />
Board meeting in August, 2001, the membership <strong>of</strong><br />
the Board has been quite stable. With term limits and<br />
other changes looming in the next few years, however,<br />
the Directors recognized that recruitment efforts for<br />
new members and leaders should be augmented<br />
promptly. David Evans was elected President <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Foundation at the annual meeting <strong>of</strong> the Foundation<br />
in August, 2007. He outlined the following goals for<br />
the ensuing year: (1) to strengthen the committees<br />
and the Foundation’s internal processes in preparation for the<br />
expected major fundraising to be undertaken with respect to<br />
the new law center; (2) to assist the Dean in raising planning<br />
funds for the new law center; (3) to serve as vocal promoters<br />
<strong>of</strong> the law center in our communities; (4) to assist the <strong>Law</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> in its ABA reaccreditation process, and (5) to bring<br />
“new blood” into the Foundation Board to serve as successors<br />
to the first generation <strong>of</strong> Board members who will be reaching<br />
their term limits.<br />
The tangible results <strong>of</strong> the Foundation’s efforts during the past<br />
year, though, are the most important and exciting news <strong>of</strong> all.<br />
The Foundation’s funds grew approximately 30% to almost<br />
$2.7 million in value through receipts <strong>of</strong> pledges, receipts<br />
<strong>of</strong> new gifts, and returns on investments. The Foundation<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Maine</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> Foundation,<br />
an independent nonpr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
corporation, was formed<br />
earlier this decade<br />
by friends and alumni to<br />
provide crucial financial<br />
support to the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Since then, it has helped<br />
to raise and manage<br />
endowment funds and has<br />
served as a vital advocate<br />
for the advancement <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
n Continued to pursue mini-campaigns, particularly in<br />
support <strong>of</strong> endowed pr<strong>of</strong>essorships. These efforts gave rise<br />
to an ambitious plan for a diversity scholarship endowment<br />
in honor <strong>of</strong> Vincent McKusick, former Chief Justice <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Maine</strong> Supreme Judicial Court, with the pledge <strong>of</strong> a lead<br />
gift from the law firm <strong>of</strong> Pierce Atwood.<br />
increased its payouts for the past year by 38% to a total annual<br />
distribution <strong>of</strong> over $74,000. It has taken the Foundation six<br />
years to reach this level <strong>of</strong> support <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>. In the<br />
next six years, however, the Foundation will be even more<br />
effective in dramatically increasing such support. It recognizes<br />
the challenges facing the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>, and it is committed to<br />
help the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> meet those challenges.<br />

Ways to Give<br />
There are many ways that you<br />
can support <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Law</strong> now and<br />
in the future:<br />
Write a check: Support <strong>Maine</strong><br />
<strong>Law</strong>’s <strong>Annual</strong> Fund through a<br />
cash or credit card gift before<br />
June 30th each year. Give online<br />
at www.mainelawalum.org.<br />
Make a pledge: Pledges may<br />
be payable in single or multiple<br />
installments.<br />
Transfer stock: Publicly traded<br />
securities are an attractive option<br />
because they can provide greater<br />
tax advantages than gifts <strong>of</strong> cash.<br />
The donor may be able to deduct<br />
the current fair market value as<br />
a charitable gift and avoid capital<br />
gains tax on the appreciation.<br />
Matching gifts: Many companies<br />
match an employee’s gift.<br />
Please consider whether you<br />
or your spouse’s employer <strong>of</strong>fers<br />
matching gifts.<br />
I prefer to be contacted at my: [ ] Home address [ ] Business address<br />
Insurance: Gifts <strong>of</strong> paid life<br />
