Deborah & Nigel Telman (’93)

Dear Alumni and Friends,
As you read through this new edition of
The Record you may notice some changes have taken place. We’ve
redesigned the look and feel of the magazine to make it consistent
with our other publications. We’ve received very positive feedback
on our new Web site, catalogue and brochures and hope you like the
new format of the magazine.
In this issue, we invite you to explore the steadily expanding BU
Law community. A global marketplace has created strong interest
in international law among students. With the addition of our new
exchange program at the National University of Singapore, we now
have 12 study abroad options. This summer, 24 of our students either
worked abroad or worked on international issues in the United
States. We also have a growing worldwide network of BU Law
alumni as well as faculty members with international law expertise.
In the following pages, we profile just some
of our alumni and faculty members working internationally or with
expertise in transnational practice. We also profile John
Riccardi (’91), our assistant dean for Graduate
and International Programs, who oversees our
American Law program for foreign lawyers and
our study abroad programs.
Our cover story features Deborah Hardy
Telman (’93) and Nigel Telman (’93),
a couple who met at BU Law and built
successful careers in Chicago. Deborah is an
assistant corporate secretary and counsel for
The Boeing Company, which employs 150,000
people across the U.S. and in 70 countries. Nigel
is a partner at Sidley Austin LLP, one of
the world’s largest law firms with 16
offices on four continents. Both
are active in the Chicago
community.
BU Law is clearly recognized
as a top tier school in legal
circles, both nationally and
internationally. This year the
School moved up in the US
News & World Report survey
to #20 out of 184 accredited law schools and placed in the top ten in
health, tax and intellectual property law. Our reputation is attributable
to a highly talented student body, accomplished alumni and a faculty
that continues to receive accolades for teaching and scholarship.
As you may know, over the years, we have substantially dropped
our class size—from a high of 450 to 269 last fall and an average of
275 going forward. While that means the University has given up
a significant amount of tuition income, our students benefit from a
richer educational experience with more opportunity for interaction
and attention from the faculty. The decrease in class size has also
meant an increase in our entering students’ qualifications. The fall
2006 entering class had a median GPA of 3.68 and median LSAT
score of 165 (93rd percentile). As we go to print, this year’s entering
class looks very similar.
Please keep BU Law students in mind when you’re interviewing for
positions at your firms, agencies or corporations and share the good
news about the high quality of BU Law with your colleagues in the
legal profession. Your support for BU Law is critical to building and
maintaining our national reputation.
Many of the extraordinary faculty that you remember are still
teaching with us. At the same time, we recognize the need
to invigorate the faculty with new members who share our
commitment to excellence in teaching and scholarship. We are
very pleased to announce the addition of four new faculty members
who will join us in the fall: Professor James E. Fleming of
Fordham University, Professor Linda C. McClain of Hofstra
University; Associate Professor Kevin Outterson of West
Virginia University College of Law; and Clinical Associate
Professor Sean J. Kealy, former assistant to Massachusetts
Senator Cynthia Creem (’66). We invite you to learn more
about them later in this issue.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions for stories to
include in future editions of The Record and in the BU Law
Alumni e-newsletter. You may contact us directly by phone at
617.353.3118 or by e-mail at lawalum@bu.edu.
Please also check our Web site at www.bu.edu/law for the
latest information on events, the School and alumni
gatherings.
Thank you for your continued support; we
look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Maureen A. O’Rourke, Dean

’93’s Deb and Nigel Telman
Are Chicago’s Rising Stars
He’s the reserved one. She’s the talker. Together, they’re the complementary dynamic
duo who made their mark on Boston University School of Law as dedicated officers
in the Black Law Students’ Association (BLSA) in the early 1990’s. Since graduating
in 1993, Deborah and Nigel Telman have continued to shine in the legal profession,
earning a reputation as individuals committed to excellence, integrity and the
advancement of women and minorities in the legal profession.
Deborah Telman practices corporate law inhouse
as counsel at The Boeing Company in
Chicago, handling domestic and international
legal issues related to the aerospace giant’s
mergers and acquisitions. Her superiors love
her for her ability to inspire genuine team
spirit and solicit top-notch work from the
attorneys she leads. Nigel serves as a partner
at the venerable Sidley Austin international
law firm. His practice involves, among other
things, defending and counseling clients in
employment-related disputes. His colleagues
and clients are continually impressed by his
strong litigation skills as well as his practical,
business-oriented advice. At night, on
weekends and during countless Blackberry
and e-mail moments in between, the two
hold down an even more important job:
raising their eight-year-old twin sons Nigel II
and Nicholas.
No one who knew Deborah and Nigel
while at Boston University is surprised by
their success. “They exuded the kind of
steady confidence that made me sure I’d see
their names in lights someday,” says Fran
Miller, (’65) a favorite former professor.
4 | The Record | Fall 2007

As two of only a handful of black students at
the school in the early 1990’s, they met at a
law school party during their first year and
soon discovered they had lived parallel lives.
They grew up only one town away from
each other on Long Island—Deborah in
Uniondale, and Nigel in Hempstead. They
later discovered that Deborah attended her
high school prom with Nigel’s best friend,
and at Penn, she pledged Alpha Kappa
Alpha—the sister sorority to Nigel’s Alpha
Phi Alpha at Cornell. Before coming to law
school, they both worked on Wall Street as
analysts, Deborah for Morgan Stanley and
Nigel for J.P. Morgan.
The two also benefited from supportive
upbringings in which race was never seen
as an obstacle. As a child, Nigel lived first
in London, and then in his parents’ native
Guyana, where it was routine for people
of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds to
hold positions of leadership and power. “As
a result of that exposure, I placed a high
value on diversity and understood that I
could accomplish anything in life with hard
work,” Nigel says. As for Deborah, having a
family that stressed “the value of hard work,
God, education and pride in being African
American,” she felt free to run with her
natural gifts.
“Their personalities,” says
Donald Prophete (’92), “simply
will not let them deviate from
doing what is right.”
It wasn’t until their second year in law school,
however, that the two paired up—at first
only as moot court partners for the Frederick
Douglass competition that fall. A dynamic
team, they won Best Respondent’s Brief and
Best Overall Brief nationally. Nigel took best
oralist nationally, and Deborah did the same
for the Northeast region. By the holidays,
they were meeting over break on Long Island,
talking about more than the finer points of the
law. “Deborah was very smart,” says Nigel.
“She had leadership skills I admired. She
was fun. We could talk for hours.” Echoes
Deborah: “Nigel was intelligent and thoughtful
before he spoke. I loved that rigor. He was also
charming and funny.”
By their third year, they were revitalizing
BLSA at the School, Deb serving as
president, and Nigel serving as vice
president. Deborah helped improve
relationships between black students
and alumni by resurrecting the annual
BLSA dinner, inviting back black alumni
to reconnect with the School. The pair
also convinced the School to make
the Frederick Douglass Competition
an officially sanctioned Moot Court
Team. Nigel sat on BU Law’s admissions
committee, which gave him the
opportunity to advise the admissions
director on the significant value increased
diversity would have on the overall law
school experience.
Along the way, the pair became known as
“Mr. and Mrs. BU.” To make it official,
in their third year, Nigel proposed to
Deborah in front of a table full of fellow
BU Law students they were coaching
as the School’s official team at that
year’s Frederick Douglass Moot Court
competition. A year-and-a-half later, they
married.
After graduating, the couple headed for
Chicago, Nigel to Freeborn & Peters LLP, and
Deborah at first to Hopkins & Sutter. Nigel
gained experience in securities litigation and
then employment litigation, and made partner
in 2000. Deborah found her niche after moving
to Winston & Strawn LLP in 1996, where she
represented high-profile clients on mergers and
acquisitions and other business transactions. She
made partner in 2001.
In 2002, both Telmans held hands and
jumped, Nigel to Sidley Austin, and
Deborah to Boeing. “I decided to go
Fall 2007 | The Record | 5

in-house because it was an opportunity
to work for a dynamic, interesting
multinational with lots of complex issues,”
Deborah says. Nigel’s practice at Sidley
allows him not only to protect the firm’s
Fortune 500 clients against claims of sexual
harassment and race discrimination, but
also to help clients institute proactive
policies and procedures that can reduce the
risk of litigation.
“Nigel and Deb are well known for their
integrity,” says Donald Prophete (’92),
a friend since their BU days, managing
partner of Ogletree Deakins’ Kansas City
office and former in-house counsel for
Sprint, where he hired Nigel to handle
several high-profile law suits. “Their
personalities,” he says admiringly, “simply
will not let them deviate from doing what
is right.”
The couple sees their respective jobs as
platforms not only for doing what is in the
best interests of their clients, but also for
making an impact on increasing diversity
in the legal profession, a theme that has
continued in their lives and work since
BU. Nigel currently sits on the board of
the Chicago Committee on Minorities in
Large Law Firms, an organization which
Deborah chaired a few years ago when
she was with Winston & Strawn. Nigel
mentors young lawyers of color both in
and outside of his firm.
For Deborah, diversity is a value that
runs throughout her international legal
work. “At Boeing, I ensure that we don’t
overlook the cultural norms while working
internationally. We always pay attention
to cultural sensitivities, so that we’re
considered a good company to have in any
country,” Deb also adds. “As an in-house
lawyer, I emphasize the need to bring
women and minorities to Boeing’s deals.
When we start a new project, my outside
counsel finds me a diverse team and
makes sure those attorneys of color have a
meaningful role in the transaction.”
Outside of work, Nigel was appointed by
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley to serve
on the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for
Planning’s Executive Committee, which
gives him a hand in land and transportation
planning for the greater Chicago region.
“The mayor chose Nigel because of his
reputation for creative thinking and his
“At Boeing, we always pay attention
to cultural sensitivities, so that we’re
considered a good company
to have in any country.”
desire to contribute to his community,”
says Rita Athas, the mayor’s deputy
chief of staff for external affairs. Deborah
was recently named one of Chicago’s
“40 Under 40” by a local publication,
which identifies young leaders making a
difference in Chicago business.
The Telman household is understandably
a busy one. Pillow talk sometimes revolves
around Deborah’s “insider perspective”
on how Nigel can better serve his clients’
needs, or Nigel’s suggestions on which
new young lawyer Boeing should consider
hiring. The two are also hands-on parents,
with Nigel occasionally spending lunch
breaks with his boys at their nearby school,
and Deborah joining them for cello
lessons.
Deborah’s good friend Adrienne Pitts
(’95), who is also one of Nigel’s partners
at Sidley, says fondly of the Telmans,
“They’re a power couple who will no
doubt have increasingly visible roles. For
Deb and Nigel, the sky’s the limit.”
Redesigning
BU Law Online
Featuring a more “peoplefocused”
design and incorporating
elements of the new branding
campaign, BU Law recently launched
its redesigned Web site.
Viewers familiar with the former
site will notice the color theme has
changed from purple to University
red and white, which mirrors the
School’s publications in design and
tone. Additionally, pages now feature
an audience-specific navigational
structure, which gives alumni, faculty,
current and prospective students
access to sections of the Web site
designed for them.
Utilizing photographs, quotes and feature
stories, the design has taken on a more
personal approach, including “Take
Note” features, updated weekly on the
law school’s home pages, which highlight
the newsworthy accomplishments of the
School, faculty and alumni. Features include
alumni achievements such as promotions
and publications, student victories and
accomplishments (for example, our Moot
Court team’s winning the Sutherland Cup)
and noteworthy school news.
Technological advances on the site
include a “multimedia” section, which
features audio and video footage from
past events; Flash elements, such as the
study abroad page’s interactive map; and
a “content management system” which
feeds the School’s daily news and events
to the site’s calendars.
The site’s most recent addition is a fiveminute
video featuring current students
on the “Admitted Students” page. In the
video, students describe why they chose
BU Law, highlighting the strength of the
School’s faculty, curriculum, community
and the Boston environment.
We invite you to explore your section of the
new Web site at www.bu.edu/law/alumni/.

Golden
Circle
Fund
Continuing their support
of BU Law 50 plus years after graduating,
the members of the Golden Circle have
remained an enthusiastic part of the law
school community. These alumni are
celebrating their half-century anniversaries
by gathering for an event established
two years ago: the annual Golden Circle
Reunion Dinner. Last year, the Golden
Circle Fund was proposed by alumnus
Bill Tyler (’51), who coordinated the 55th
anniversary dinner for his class. The Fund’s
FLASHBACK:1875
Arriving in Boston in 1875 via
steamer, Takeo Kikuchi was
the first Japanese graduate of
Boston University School of Law.
Returning to his native Japan five
years later, Kikuchi went on to
have a distinguished career at the
Ministry of Justice in Tokyo, and
was one of the 18 founders of Chuo
University where he served as its
first president. His ties to Boston
University School of Law remained
steadfast throughout his life.
Jack Middleton ’56, Bill Tyler ’51
initial appeal proved to be most gratifying,
with generous classmates together
contributing over $100,000 in gifts and
pledges.
The purpose of the Golden Circle Fund
is to create a permanent law school
endowment from which the Dean may
make annual discretionary distributions
for scholarship support and faculty
enrichment. It is intended that the Fund
will be augmented each year by gifts from
each class as it reaches its 50 year mark.
To qualify as a Golden Circle Funder, an
alumnus will commit to an aggregate gift
of $100 for each year since law school
graduation. Because the Golden Circle is
limited to alumni who graduated at least
50 years ago, the suggested contribution
is $5,000. There is also a special class
of “Superfunders” for gifts of $10,000
and above.
According to Tyler, joining this
special company of supporters is a way
to recognize and reward BU Law’s
distinguished leadership and academic
excellence. “Those of us who have
enjoyed long and satisfying careers in law
or business have reason to be grateful to
the School for the education we received,”
said Tyler.

Q&A
with
President
Bob Brown
our energy on strengthening the quality and
impact of our most important programs,
increasing the resources for our faculty
and fostering new, innovative teaching
and research programs across our schools
and colleges. Our goal for the law school,
specifically, is to be regularly ranked in the
top 20 law schools in the country.
Q: What challenges do you see ahead
The biggest challenges facing Boston
University are all related to attracting the
best students and faculty to the University.
There are many things we have to do to
focus on these goals. For our undergraduate
students our challenges hinge on keeping
Boston University accessible to the very
best students, regardless of economic
background, and on creating a vibrant
campus community. For the law school our
biggest challenge revolves around renewing
and expanding the facilities for the School
in keeping with the stature of the law school
today and in the future.
Dr. Robert A. Brown, distinguished
teacher, researcher, administrator
and educational innovator, became
the 10th president of Boston
University on September 1, 2005.
Dr. Brown was the provost of
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and is a member of
the National Academy of Sciences,
the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences and the National Academy
of Engineering. The Record asked Dr.
Brown about his experience at BU
so far as well as his thoughts on the
University and the School of Law.
Q: What is your assessment of the
University and law school as you approach
two full years in office
Boston University is one of the most
important private research universities
in America. It has a great mission of
undergraduate, graduate and professional
education. Furthermore, both students
and faculty maintain a tradition of serious
knowledge creation and thoughtful
engagement with the community and the
world. The law school is one of the jewels
of the University with a marvelous faculty, a
great tradition of excellence in education and
an intelligent student body.
Q: What goals do you have for both the
University and the law school
My goal is to help make Boston University, as
a whole, a truly great university by focusing
Q: You’ve talked about uniting the schools
of the University. How do you see this
happening
Although the quality and reputation of our
individual disciplines and faculties are
the foundation of the excellence of the
University, we have enormous potential for
new, innovative collaborations. The Faculty
and Administration Task Force on Strategic
Planning identified collaboration across our
schools and colleges as one of the most
important assets of the University. The
majority of today’s societal challenges require
these interdisciplinary collaborations; Boston
University is very well positioned to have
significant impact, through both education
and research. I hope all our schools and
colleges will look for these opportunities
wherever they arise.
8 | The Record | Fall 2007

Q: What kind of international vision do you
have for the University in our increasingly
globalized world
Like all of our economy, higher education
today is a global business. Although Boston
University has long been a major international
institution, we must aggressively work to
maintain this position of leadership. We must
continue to prepare our students to live and
work in the global economy, through both our
programs in Boston and through opportunities
to intern and study abroad. We also must
expand the University’s global presence to
better serve our students and to educate new
partners from other regions of the world.
Q: As in any university, there is always the
challenge of creating a sense of community
amongst graduate school alumni. As part of
an effort to unite these alumni, you’ve been
meeting with them in various parts of the
country to gain feedback. What have you
heard
Much of our effort over the last two years
has gone into improving the University’s
communication with students on campus
and with our almost 260,000 alumni. There
is no magic bullet for accomplishing this
goal, as the experiences of alumni at the
University vary dramatically depending
on when and how they attended BU. We
constantly communicate to our alumni that
Boston University remains one of the best
private urban universities in America.
We ask them to reconnect, either to the
University or to their school or college. My
sense is that our alumni are coming back, and
we have some positive signs. For example, this
winter we sent out a survey aimed at producing
a new alumni directory. We expected
approximately 25,000 responses, similar to
what we received in the last survey in 1999.
We closed off the survey in April with over
95,000 responses! This is a very good sign of
alumni interest in the University, and we expect
it to only grow in the future.
MASSACHUSETTS LAWYERS WEEKLY
HONORS BU LAW ALUMNI
Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly
Chosen by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly as Lawyers of the Year for 2006,
the following BU Law alumni were honored for their integrity,
professionalism and drive while representing “what lawyering is all
about.” We congratulate the following award recipients:
Daniel Manning (’73), litigation director of Greater Boston
Legal Services, tackled the MBTA’s outdated system, which
often prevented passengers with disabilities from using public
transportation. By 2006, a $310 million settlement was reached and
will be used to upgrade the MBTA’s system.
Samuel Perkins (’76), partner at Brody, Hardoon, Perkins &
Keston, succeeded in convincing Wal-Mart to stock the emergency
contraception pill in stores nation-wide.
David A. Bunis (’87), partner at Dwyer & Collora LLP, practices
complex commercial litigation. Throughout 2006, Bunis successfully
secured rulings in two separate cases that could alter the business law
landscape considerably.
Ellyn Lazar-Moore (’93), who works in the Worcester County
District Attorney’s Office, argued a number of cases before the
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, including a motor-vehicle
homicide appeal in which the defendant argued that the victim’s
choice to be removed from a life-saving machine—not the car’s
collision—was the cause of death. Lazar-Moore successfully
convinced the court otherwise.
Wendell Taylor (’95) earned the “Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly
Diversity Heroes” award, given to those diverse in race, ethnicity
and sexual orientation, who are heroic in their efforts to overcome
discrimination while advancing in their profession.
Taylor, a corporate lawyer at WilmerHale, grew up in 1970’s Boston,
when busing was used to achieve racial integration. Today, he gives
back to the same community by annually recruiting attorneys of
color, mentoring high school summer interns and serving as cochairman
of WilmerHale’s Committee on Diversity.
In addition, two BU Law alumni were named “In-House Leaders in
the Law.” Honorees demonstrate innovative and practical business
and legal skills, either as general counsels or as staff attorneys.
Susan Alexander (’81), general counsel and corporate secretary at
Biogen Idec, also serves on BU Law’s Alumni Executive Committee,
The Boston University School of Management Advisory Panel, and
other organizations.
Edward Goddard (’90), national director of labor relations at
Kindred Healthcare, works for the nation’s second largest nursing
home operator with 53,000 employees in 40 states. Goddard handles
labor disputes, collective bargaining negotiations and employee
training activities.

Richard Godfrey (’79)
Establishes the Robert B. Kent Chaired
Professorship in Civil Procedure at BU Law
Richard Godfrey (‘79), BU Law graduate and partner at Chicago’s Kirkland
& Ellis LLP, recently established the Robert B. Kent Professorship Fund,
a permanently endowed chair which will provide salary and research
support to a full-time BU Law faculty member. The chair, says Godfrey,
seeks to recognize the “strength of the law school, which is its faculty.”
Richard Godfrey ’79, President Robert A. Brown, Dean Maureen O’Rourke,
Robert B. Kent ’49 (sitting)
“We’re at a critical crossroads
for the School and Boston
University, with respect to the
change of leadership,” Godfrey
explains. “Boston University
has two terrific new leaders—
Dean Maureen O’Rourke and
President Robert Brown—who
deserve the support of faculty
and alumni.”
When deciding upon the chair’s
namesake, Godfrey says Professor
Kent (’49) was “the obvious
choice. He’s a wonderful
professor and a terrific lawyer.”
As a 1L, Godfrey took Civil
Procedure with Kent. “He
epitomizes what great professors
can offer their students. They
challenge, teach, educate and
in the end they become models
for how their students should
act within the profession. Kent
reflected the best the profession
had to offer,” Godfrey says.
“He was a teacher’s teacher.
We speak of lawyer’s lawyers—
they don’t seek publicity, they
get the job done and have a
deft skill set,” Godfrey explains.
“With Kent, I never sensed an
ego or a publicity hound but
rather someone interested in
becoming a master of his craft:
the teaching of law.”
Godfrey identifies Professor
Kent as one of many excellent
educators he encountered at
BU Law. “I had the experience
of terrific professors with very
different styles and approaches
and very different analytical skill
sets. I thought it was a strength
of the faculty that there was not
a set way of analyzing a legal
problem,” he says.
A recently elected member to
the Boston University Board
of Trustees, Godfrey has a
longstanding involvement
with the Boston University
community. “I think it is
important for alumni who have
had some degree of success
in their professional careers
to recognize the faculty who
contributed to and enabled
alumni to have such success,”
he says.
As a BU Law student, Godfrey
served on the BU Law Review
for two years, including 3L
work as a note editor. He joined
Kirkland & Ellis after graduation
and began his active alumni
involvement with the School
nearly two decades ago, in 1989,
when he helped organize BU
Law’s Board of Visitors. In 1998,
Godfrey received the prestigious
Silver Shingle Award. Then, in
2005, Godfrey was asked to chair
the Law Fund.
Godfrey attributes his
involvement to being raised
in a family of lawyers and
educators. “There was a
focus growing up on the
importance of education and
teachers,” he says. “Education
is the avenue toward a better
understanding of society and
the appropriate course you
take within society.” Alumni
involvement provides Godfrey
an opportunity to interact
with faculty and, through the
Law Fund, “attract and retain
faculty of the highest caliber,”
he says.
Godfrey hopes the Kent Chair
encourages other alumni to
endow chaired professorships
for the School. His own gift
was inspired by the chaired
professorship recently endowed
by Philip S. Beck (’76), who
recruited Godfrey to Kirkland &
Ellis in 1979. “[Endowed chairs]
are good for faculty, for the
school and for the relationship
between the profession and
professors,” Godfrey says.

Two Years
After the
Storm…
BU Students
Aid in Legal
Cleanup
While some students spent spring
break sunning themselves on the
beaches of Mexico, one group of
BU Law students chose to travel to
a different Gulf Coast destination:
New Orleans. The group of 25 spent
their break doing pro bono work for
Hurricane Katrina victims through the
Student Hurricane Network (SHN), a
national law school association created
to fill gaps in the justice systems in
communities affected by Katrina.
During their stay, the SHN BU Law
chapter—led by Kendra Kinscherf
(’07) and Jon Anderman (’08)—
addressed legal issues including housing
discrimination and environmental issues.
“It is impossible to even begin to
describe the amount of work that still
needs to be done in New Orleans,”
said Anderman. Kinscherf added, “Law
students have the skills to help people
not only with legal work, but also
to help bring more awareness to the
current situation.”
Anderman and Kinscherf surveyed
residents of FEMA trailers in the worst
hit areas of New Orleans, including
the Ninth Ward, to understand their
pressing legal needs. The students
said residents were grateful they had
not been forgotten. “I think it was
incredibly important to show the
victims of the storm that we still have
them in our hearts and minds, we are
willing to listen to all their concerns
and we are actively pursuing their issues
in order to enact some sort of change,”
said Anderman.

CONFERENCES
After seeing the destruction still
present in New Orleans after 19
months, the students realized how
much help was truly needed. “Many
people are still waiting to receive the
funds promised to them in order to
rebuild their homes,” said Kinscherf.
Most issues facing residents have been
unaddressed because so few lawyers
remain. “Since the storm, many
attorneys have not moved back to
the city. There is such a backlog of
cases that the attorneys still in the city
have little hope of resolving many of
them,” she added.
Despite hearing negative accounts
of the aftermath, the students felt
empowered by the indomitable spirits
of those affected by the disaster.
Kinscherf recalled a woman she
met who was living in a trailer in
unhealthy conditions with 11 people.
Although she worked full-time, she
was unable to afford an apartment,
which is the case for many renters
in the area. “Landlords either are no
longer rebuilding or have raised rents
to levels at least three times more than
before the hurricane,” said Kinscherf.
The woman also suffered health issues
but was unable to find her doctor. In
spite of her hardships, she remained
hopeful that the spirit of New Orleans
would be restored.
“People can only hit so many walls
before they finally give up,” added
Anderman. “The resiliency of the
residents of New Orleans to continue
trying now, after countless failures,
is nothing short of amazing and a
testament to human will.”
The philanthropic students of
SHN did not stop their efforts after
returning to Boston. One segment
of their program is Matchmakers for
Justice (M4J), which pairs hurricane
victims with law students across the
country. The four students at BU
Law involved in M4J met with their
clients in New Orleans and continue
to address their legal issues.
The students believe that efforts to reach
out to victims are more relevant than
ever; and several planned to return this
summer to continue helping. “[This
experience] was life-changing for many
of the students. And I am certain that
all of these terrifically talented students
will incorporate public service into their
legal careers, ensuring that compassion
and justice remain central tenets of
our profession,” said Maura Kelly, the
director of the Career Development
Office who helped organize the BU
Law chapter of SHN and accompanied
the students to New Orleans.
Although Anderman does not
underestimate the scope of the Katrina
crisis, he thinks student efforts are
a good way to start: “I have high
expectations for what BU Law can
accomplish,” he said.
National Health Law
Professors Conference
Conceived over 25 years ago at
BU Law, the NHLP Conference
is intended for professionals who
teach law or bioethics and law,
medicine, public health, health care
administration, pharmacy, nursing
and dentistry. Co-sponsored each
year by a host law school and the
American Society of Law, Medicine
and Ethics, the conference draws
professors from around the country
to listen to presentations, report on
works-in-progress and exchange ideas
about medical and legal issues. This
year’s conference, held on May 31st-
June 2nd, co-sponsored by BU Law,
included sessions on: Health Care
Reform, Teaching Health Law, Global
Health Law and Innovation Meets
Patient Rights. The forum included
breakout sessions such as Patient
Safety, Quality of Care, Malpractice,
Regulating the Health Care Industry
and Technology Development and
Regulation.
Pike Conference
In March, the annual Pike Conference
was held, titled “The Nuremberg
Doctors’ Trial: 60 Years Later.” The
conference examined the impact of
the Nuremberg Code on international
and U.S. law regarding human
experimentation and the role of
physicians in euthanasia of people with
disabilities. The role of military physicians
in the “global war on terror,” particularly
in prison settings, was also examined.
Edmund Pellegrino, Chairman of
the President’s Council on Bioethics,
delivered the keynote speech, “On
Human Dignity.”

PROTECTING
the Cyber Social Scene
>
Hemanshu Nigam (’90) is Keeping Watch Over MySpace
It’s no secret we’re living in a digital world. With over
185 million registered users and a current ranking as
the most visited Web site on the Internet, MySpace is
far and away the largest global online community on
the planet. BU Law alumnus Hemanshu Nigam (’90)
has the responsibility of making this Internet world a
safe one.
“When something explodes the
way MySpace has, whatever
happens in the real world
will eventually happen in the
online one,” Nigam says. “Our
responsibility is to find a way to
make that world as secure as the
one we walk around in.”
Appointed chief security officer
in 2006 of MySpace.com, Nigam heads a 200 person
task force that oversees safety, education and privacy
programs for the Web site, and also handles all law
enforcement affairs. And the duty of safeguarding
young users is no simple task, considering the sheer
size of MySpace. “There’s no precedent for policing
the Internet; we’re building one,” admits Nigam.
Nigam came to the position with years of experience
protecting minors from exploitation and abuse, not
only in the virtual world, but also in the physical
one. From his first internship with Boston’s District
Attorney’s Office where he was assigned to the special
case unit, handling rape cases, Nigam realized his
future would involve helping those most in need. “It
was touching, empowering. All I could think was that
this is exactly the kind of work I want to be doing,”
said Nigam. “Now, I get to come to work everyday
and feel that I’m doing exactly
the right thing.”
Cutting his teeth in Los
Angeles County as a prosecutor
who busted gangs and sexual
predators, Nigam also worked
as a federal prosecutor in
Washington, D.C., specializing
in child-pornography, childpredator
and child-trafficking
cases. One of the first to focus on Internet cases, Nigam
had a front row seat on how society was adapting to the
growing cyber world.
“Technology was changing at lightning speed but the
government could move only so fast, and so it was an
interesting dichotomy to experience,” said Nigam. “I
realized I wanted to focus on Internet and child crime
cases, to show people that the world we live in now
may be a different one, but the worries and lessons
are exactly the same.”
16 | The Record | Fall 2007

LECTURES
Nigam is eager to talk about those lessons. After joining
Microsoft in 2002 to lead many of the company’s child
safety and security efforts, Nigam was more focused than
ever on educating youth who have come of age in the
Internet world. He is a strong advocate of legislation
that would require all young people to take an “Online
Etiquette and Safety” class in their schools, as the state of
Virginia now requires its students to do.
“We have to make sure our legal system grows with
technology,” Nigam points out. In the past nine months
alone, Nigam and his team have employed over 75 new
security measures, including partnering with Sentinel
Tech to create a program that will identify and delete
profiles of registered sex offenders that are currently
on the Web site. Another recent step towards protecting
young users is making all profiles of members under the
age of 16 private so that they cannot be contacted by
people they don’t already know or potential predators.
“This is the real world now,” says Nigam, who is
quick to point out where his commitment to policing
the world began. “During my time at BU Law, and
particularly working in the Criminal Clinic, I was
shown a strong focus on “real world” issues. We learned
common sense dealing with real cases. That’s more
important than anything else.”
Nigam recalls Professor Bill Ryckman as one of the
toughest professors he encountered. “One thing he did
was present you with a case, but he would give you
only parts of the case to read. There would be a scurry
by the students to find all the information,” Nigam said.
“Instead of just thinking about what the facts were for
this particular case, Professor Ryckman wanted you to
think about the larger question: how does this case affect
our society”
Nigam, if anyone, understands where the facts fall in
today’s society. “More than ever people want to know
what’s going on in the world. When I was younger,
we had pen pals. Nowadays you have MySpace. It’s an
instantaneous world of connection, and we want to give
people all the tools possible to help them navigate it.”
Edward Lane-Reticker Speaker Series
In November 2006, Lewis B. Kaden, vice chairman and chief
administrative officer of Citigroup, presented a lecture entitled
“Rethinking Corporate Governance and Controls” as part of the
Edward Lane-Reticker Speaker Series, which is sponsored by
the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law. The series was
established to bring together prominent personalities in banking,
finance and public policy to debate and discuss timely topics in
these fields. Leading figures in government, politics and law are
invited to deliver lectures, and their presentations are published
in the Annual Review of Banking and Financial Law.
The October 2007 Edward Lane-Reticker Speaker series lecturer
will be Congressman Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts), Chairman
of the House Financial Services Committee. See www.bu.edu/

Lansing Crane (’70), Chairman and CEO, Crane Paper Co.
In January 2007, Lansing Crane, chief executive officer of Crane &
Company, spoke about careers for lawyers and about his company.
A 200+ year old family-owned and run company, Crane & Co.
produces the paper on which U.S. currency is printed and has been
a leader in developing paper-based counterfeit deterrents such as
advanced security threads, watermarks, planchettes and security
fibers.
Annual Max M. Shapiro Lecture
The annual Shapiro Lecture was delivered by Samantha Power,
whose book, A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide, was
awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction. Her lecture
was entitled “Human Rights After the Fall of the Superpower.”
William Groner (’80), “The Hazardous Impact of
Cleaning Up After September 11—Who Is At Fault”
William Groner, senior partner, Worby Groner Edelman LLP,
discussed the lawsuit filed against the City of New York and
over 150 contractors hired to clean up Ground Zero post-9/11.
The suit involves over 9,000 rescue workers who had
catastrophic health effects from the cleanup.

Assistant Dean Brings
International Flair
to Law School
W
hen John Riccardi (‘91) returned to BU Law
to become acting director of the Office of
Foreign Programs (OFP) in 1997, he saw many
familiar faces—and a new direction in the law
tower. “Returning was fun because many of the
professors I had were still here,” says Riccardi, now
the assistant dean for Graduate and International
Programs. “But what was most exciting
was witnessing the School’s response
to the globalization of law practice ce
and helping the School make its
mark in international legal
education.”
When he joined the OFP, the
globalization of law was not part of
his world. He had been working for
several years as a health care lawyer at
the Boston firm, Ropes & Gray. Suddenly, his main
charge was to build the School’s LL.M. in American
Law Program for foreign lawyers and create study
abroad opportunities for J.D.’s. “The challenge was
to build an international two-way street at BU Law
and to prepare both domestic J.D. and foreign LL.M.
students for global careers.”
Today, the School welcomes between 65 and 70
foreign lawyers each year to attend J.D. classes
through the American Law Program; and J.D.
students can study abroad at 12 foreign destinations
throughout Europe, South America, the Middle
East and Asia, more venues than but a handful of
other law schools.
Riccardi, whose pre-law career was in marketing
and communications, is constantly looking at new
opportunities that will help prepare J.D.’s for practice
in today’s global economy. Most recently, BU Law
added a new semester exchange program at the
National University of Singapore, to complement its
growing presence in Asia.
“Law firms and American
businesses are increasingly
taking note of opportunities
in Asia
and setting up a presence
there, so our graduates are going to
be heavily involved in Asia-related
activities,” he
said. BU Law also offers
programs at the
University of Hong Kong
and at Tsinghua Law
School in Beijing. Future
programs may include India, Eastern Europe and
additional opportunities on mainland China.
“There are very few areas of legal work these days
that don’t somehow implicate international issues,”
says Riccardi. “The additional perspective J.D.
students gain from being fully immersed in a foreign
law school and educational culture is invaluable,”
he says. “In the history of these programs, every
single student who has participated has said they
would recommend the experience and, if given the
opportunity, would do it all over again.”
Riccardi is quick to note that J.D. students don’t need
to leave Boston to gain a global perspective. In addition
to the school’s expansive international course offerings,
the presence of foreign-trained LL.M. students in the
18 | The Record | Fall 2007

EVENTS
J.D. classroom makes it impossible to avoid the global
dimension of law. “Today at BU Law, a typical first
year student could have a Russian lawyer on his or her
right side and a German lawyer on his or her left. All
J.D.’s can now learn how the issues discussed might
be dealt with in other countries. I never received that
perspective when I was in law school, and quite frankly,
I’m not sure I even knew that perspective existed!”
says Riccardi.
As the academic advisor to the American Law LL.M.
and visiting foreign exchange students, Riccardi
spends considerable time supporting the foreign
students’ adjustment to their new academic and
cultural surroundings at BU Law.
“Many of the students have never been to America
before, and certainly none have experienced the
Socratic method,” he notes. During their LL.M.
year, the students take J.D. courses to learn about
the American perspective on issues relevant to their
overseas work. Corporate, business and commercial
law topics, and intellectual property are the most
popular fields.
“It’s a mind-boggling adjustment for them but they
often tell me their year was the best year of their lives,”
says Riccardi. “They truly love their professors and they
make friendships and connections that last well beyond
their year in Boston.”
Public Interest Project (PIP) Auction
The annual auction is instrumental
in helping raise money for grants for
students taking unpaid public-service
summer internships. In 2007, over
80 grants (up from 50 in 2006), were
awarded to students, and nearly half of
the funding came from the auction. This
year, PIP also awarded three grants to
cover the cost of bar exam preparation
courses for graduating students going
into public service work. Among
the items at this year’s auction were:
a Caribbean vacation, dinners with
law professors and a football signed
by New England Patriots running
back Laurence Maroney. Several BU
Law professors served as auctioneers
and blackjack dealers at the event.
“Meet the Women” Awards Ceremony
& Cocktail Reception
Sponsored by the BU Law Women’s
Law Association on April 5th, the
“Meet the Women” ceremony
and cocktail reception honored
the following attorneys: Danielle
de Benedictis (’71), a civil litigator
specializing in family law; Nancy
Shilepsky (’78), an influential
employment lawyer; and Sandy
Steele (’77) a prominent community
activist. The BU Law Women’s
Law Association is a student-run
organization that promotes recognition
and understanding of women’s unique
contributions in academia, practice
and the community at large.

launching pad of choice for the practice of law in a
global economy. ■

Professor William W. Park who
has served as arbitrator in
cases arising from disputes
touching all of these matters.
In a world lacking any neutral supranational courts of
mandatory jurisdiction, arbitration provides a dispute resolution
mechanism that can enhance predictability and neutrality,
thereby promoting transnational economic cooperation.
Professor Park has spent much of his career exploring the “how” and
the “why” of international dispute resolution. His most recent book,
Arbitration of International Business Disputes, has just been published
by Oxford University Press. He is also the author of a casebook on
commercial arbitration, as well as treatises on forum selection, income
tax conventions and the International Chamber of Commerce.
After beginning his career in Paris with a practice related to international
tax and finance, Park returned to Boston to teach and to
direct the law school’s Center for Banking and Financial
Law. His work has focused increasingly on arbitration.
He has chaired arbitrations in French and English in
England, France, Switzerland and Finland, as well as in
the United States and Canada. Park has held visiting
academic appointments at Cambridge University,
Université de Dijon, University of Hong Kong, the
Institut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales
in Geneva and the Fletcher School of Law and
Diplomacy. He is general editor of the Londonbased
journal Arbitration International, a

Adapting the Law of War to
Twenty-First Century Conflicts
Since 9/11, international lawyers have debated
whether the post-WWII law of war, also known as
international humanitarian law (IHL), is anachronistic
in the twenty-first century. In an article forthcoming in
the Michigan Law Review, “Prologue to a Voluntarist War
Convention,” Professor Robert D. Sloane considers how the
so-called “Global War on Terror” differs from past wars as
a prologue to designing appropriate, effective and humane
principles of IHL for twenty-first century armed conflicts, in
particular, those waged against modern transnational terrorist
organizations such as al-Qaeda.
He identifies two characteristics—the absence of a shared
conception of non-combatant immunity and the network
structure of these organizations—that vastly complicate efforts
to adapt the inherited laws of war, a periodic ritual that has
historically followed major wars and crises. While recognizing
the need for change, Professor Sloane urges caution and
deliberation in modifying IHL given the manifest potential
for abuse. His current research focuses on how a core axiom
of the laws of war—the separation of the laws that govern
resort to force, jus ad bellum, from those that govern the
conduct of hostilities, jus in bello—has been compromised
recently: for example, in the application of proportionality
in the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon,
the contemporary politics of nuclear diplomacy, and the
resurrection of rationalized torture.
School. He also continued to practice international law as
a consultant, working on arbitrations conducted under the
auspices of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea,
the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment
Disputes, the International Chamber of Commerce, and
specialized tribunals, as well as assisting with the preparation
of expert opinions for foreign sovereigns and
multinational corporations. Professor
Sloane has published in the fields of
public international law, human rights,
international criminal law, asylum
law and international arbitration. His
current research focuses on the laws of
war and the use and limits of criminal
law concepts in international law.
He teaches international law, criminal
law, international human rights and
transnational criminal law. Professor

work pro bono for

as chairman of
its board of

Before joining BU Law, Professor Sloane served as a visiting
lecturer-in-law and Schell Fellow at Yale Law School, where
he taught international human rights and international
arbitration, and as an associate-in-law at Columbia Law

At Home in Two Cultures
After a six-year stint at the
United Nations in the 1980’s
and a degree from Shanghai
International Studies University, Howard
Zhang knew he wanted to attend law
school in the United States. Beyond that,
the details of his plan were a little fuzzy.
Unfamiliar with law schools in the
U.S., Zhang happened upon a brochure
for Boston University School of Law,
researched the School and decided it
would be a good place to explore his
interest in American law.
“At the time, I didn’t know much about
law schools in the States. I thought I
wanted to go to Harvard,” said Zhang,
the son of two peasants in China’s Henan
province. “I went to a law school fair,
picked up a brochure for BU, applied and
was admitted.”
The decision has worked out well for
Zhang, and for BU Law. Now the head of
the Beijing office of O’Melveny and Myers
LLC, Zhang was recognized in 2004 as
an AsiaLaw leading lawyer in corporate
finance and in 2005 as a leading lawyer
in private equity/venture capital, mergers
and acquisitions and capital markets. A
recipient of the American Jurisprudence
Award, Zhang recently bestowed a
$100,000 faculty research grant upon his
alma mater, a decision that doesn’t surprise those around him.
“As a person, he’s an incredibly warm guy,” said Scott Silverman,
a 36-year-old senior associate who works in the Beijing office
with Zhang. “He’s very easygoing with an even keel and a great
sense of humor.”
When Zhang came to BU Law in 1990, he brought not only his
disposition, but also his interest in other cultures after growing up
under a repressive Chinese government. Zhang was one of the
first members of his province to attend university in China after
the Cultural Revolution.
Zhang said once he began at BU Law — after spending a year at
the City University of New York studying political science — it
didn’t take long for him to realize business law was his calling.
“I didn’t know anything about the study of law in the United
States or about legal practice,” he said. “I had no clue at all. After
my second year, I quickly realized that given my background
and language skills, I wouldn’t be able to do litigation. That left
business law.”
“He has excellent cross-cultural skills,” said Silverman ,who
has seen the calm that Zhang exhibits during intense situations.
Silverman attributes Zhang’s skills to his pre-law school
experience at the United Nations. There he learned how to
communicate effectively in any situation and transition through
cultural boundaries. “It’s amazing how he can switch between a

Professor Jack M. Beermann
group of Americans and a group of Chinese,” Silverman said.
After graduating from BU Law in 1993, Zhang and his wife,
Jane, whom he met in an English class in China, stayed in Boston
where Zhang worked at Testa, Hurwitz and Thibeault LLC.
While in America, the couple had two daughters, Ashley, now in
her first year at Georgetown University Law School, and Emily,
12. Emily lives in Beijing with Zhang and his wife but Zhang says
that he has taken steps to ensure his youngest daughter receives an
education similar to her older sister’s experience in America.
“Emily goes to an American school because we want to make
sure our kids grow up in a similar environment,” said Zhang. “So
it’s not a situation where the eldest is American and the youngest
is Chinese.”
While Zhang’s ties to the U.S. have remained steadfast, he admits
his connection to the School had loosened in the decade after
he returned to his native China. “A few years ago, I saw a list of
missing law school alumni, and I was on it,” he said. “I felt bad. I
always felt I should do something for the law school.”
After reconnecting with BU Law, Zhang chose to support the
School with a faculty research grant. BU Law Professor Jack
Beermann said Zhang’s grant will be instrumental in helping
current faculty and in attracting other renowned teachers and
lawyers to the University. “Research is a very important mission
of the law school,” said Beermann. “Every professor at the School
is expected to provide research at a higher level. There’s a certain
amount of prestige that comes with having a fund like this.”
For Zhang, the donation is more than just giving back to his
University — it’s also his way of honoring a mysterious American
benefactor who paid for his education at B.U. To this day, Zhang
declines to name the benefactor. “After I got my first job, I tried
to repay her, but she wouldn’t take it,” said Zhang.
In addition to the faculty research grant, Zhang has a longstanding
offer to assist his extended family in their educational
endeavors. It is known that if any of his nieces or nephews attends
college, Zhang will support them financially. “Education has done
a lot for me. To the extent that I can help someone, I will.”
As president of General Motors Southeast Asia
Operations and president of General Motors
Thailand, Bill Botwick (‘71) oversees operations
of the world’s largest auto manufacturer throughout the
Southeast Asia region, which includes Thailand, Malaysia,
the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Cambodia,
Laos, Brunei, Myanmar and South Pacific Islands. His
responsibilities within one of GM’s highest worldwide
growth regions include overseeing GM’s manufacturing
and sales operations in Thailand and Indonesia, as well
as supervising the distribution of sales subsidiaries in the
Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and other markets.
GM’s $1 billion manufacturing facility in
Thailand produces medium pickups for Thailand and
global markets, along with small passenger cars for Southeast
Asian markets. A smaller plant in Indonesia has produced
passenger cars and utility vehicles for the local market. In
Southeast Asia, GM’s Chevrolet brand has been the fastestgrowing
in the automotive industry since 2000 with sales
growing over 600%.
Botwick has worked for General Motors for 35 years,
including 19 years on the General Motors Legal Staff, where
he was assistant general counsel for International Law from
1984-90. Since 1990, Bill has lived and worked in Asia
where he started GM operations in Taiwan and Indonesia
before moving to his current position in Bangkok in 1999.
“There’s no doubt that my BU Law education contributed
immensely to both my career in law and in business. At the
law school I learned how to think-how to identify issues
and develop well thought out and creative solutions. This
obviously was a skill that I used in my legal career, but
it is also something I use virtually every day in my Asian
‘business career’. The law school also helped me refine
and develop my communications ability. This has been
particularly important in Asia where I am often dealing in
cross cultural contexts where good communications are key
to developing strong relationships, which in turn are critical
for business success.”

BU Law Alumnus
Sets Sights on Japan
Robert Grondine (’80) has come a long way from the small town of Oxford, Mass.,
where he grew up. “Nobody around there does or even imagines doing this kind of
work,” says Grondine, a senior partner at White & Case LLP’s Tokyo office. “It seems
normal to those of us in international legal practice, but in the greater realm of people
out there, they’re surprised. They ask, ‘How did you get there’”
How he got there is a topic Grondine warms to
quickly when mentoring young attorneys and, as
he did last October at BU Law, addressing students
interested in pursuing international law. Grondine
says he knew from an early age both that he wanted
to be an attorney and that he wanted to travel. “My
siblings always accuse me of being the one with the
plan,” he laughs.
As an undergraduate at Dartmouth, he set his sights
on Japan after an advisor cautioned him to avoid
competition by searching out the unusual. At the
time only about 3,000 Americans were fluent in
Japanese, so Grondine studied the language at Cornell,
then spent two years in Tokyo working as a
“salaryman,” or white-collar worker, before returning
to the United States to attend BU Law. Grondine
tells young lawyers to “look for opportunities
and plan five years out. There are many variables,
and the markets and opportunities vary over time.”
Taking his own advice has made Grondine himself
incredibly successful in his 26 years of foreign
practice, having represented clients from General
Motors to Fuji Heavy Industries to Sony Corpora-

tion. He has also been heavily involved in the American
Chamber of Commerce, acting as both chairman
and president since 2000. “As president you are the
chief spokesperson for the U.S. business community
in Japan,” he says. “We have about 3,000 members.
It’s a critical source of on-the-ground information for
the U.S. government and for the Japanese government
on the problems, inconveniences and discriminations
encountered by foreign investors in Japan.”
Though there are only 40,000 to 50,000 Americans
in Japan (not including the military), the commercial
relationship between the two countries is crucial
and growing. Many of the most interesting problems
in the new millennium involve the transfer of
data and personal information across borders, issues
related to intellectual property and enforcement of
regulations abroad. Grondine has had no problem
keeping up with the fast pace of change in a country
as dynamic as Japan, and he does so by living every
day the advice he gives to young lawyers.
one or two areas. If you get dragged into places you
don’t know, you will not be able to provide a high
level of value for your clients.”
Another edge he has had over many competitors
is that he has honed his evidentiary skills, a practice
that has not traditionally been emphasized in
Japanese law. “Understanding how you prove something
to someone,” he says, “and convincing the
people on the other side of the table, is helpful in
any country. Knowing how to find the facts to build
your case is absolutely crucial.”
But perhaps most important to his success has been
his desire to learn and to see the world. This, he
maintains, is critical to anyone interested in a career
in international law. “You must know something
about the world going in,” he says, “but you also
must have a real desire to find out more. You have
to love to study, and love the idea of learning something
new every day.”
First, he maintains, perhaps almost as useful as
speaking the language of your clients is the ability to
listen. “You actually listen more than you talk as a
lawyer,” he says. Second, concentrate on one area;
for Grondine, that area has been commercial law —
particularly mergers and acquisitions, asset-backed
structured finance, and tax-effective finance transactions.
Though he is currently working on a few
transactions in China and has had Peru as a client
as well, he tells young people to “be really good in

BU Law Honors
2007 Silver Shingle Award Winners
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the “Silver Shingle” awards,
presented each year to outstanding alumni and friends of Boston
University School of Law. Recognizing remarkable members of our
community, awards are given in the categories of: “Distinguished
Service to the Profession;” “Distinguished Service to the School
of Law;” “Distinguished Service to the Community;” and “The
Young Lawyer’s Chair.” A separate honor is presented to a Boston
University School of Law administrative staff member, the “Gerard
H. Cohen Award for Distinguished Service to the School.” On our 40th
anniversary of celebrating these accomplished individuals, Boston
University School of Law is proud to announce the 2007 recipients of
the Silver Shingle and Gerard H. Cohen Awards.
Leiha Macauley ’01, Edward McCarthy ’62, Dean Maureen O’Rourke,
Tim Hall, Attorney General Martha Coakley ’79, Alan Miller ’65
Alan Miller (‘65)
For Distinguished Service to the Profession
Managing a career as a professional football player for
the New England Patriots while also attending BU Law,
Alan Miller has combined his passion for sports and
his dedication to law for the past 40 years. Mr. Miller
served as general counsel to the American Football
League Players Association from 1965 to 1970 and was
subsequently elected general counsel to the National
Football League Players Association. Afterward, Mr.
Miller began a career in motor sports and opened the
Law Office of Alan R. Miller PC in 1979, which is
considered by many to be the preeminent motor sports
law firm in the United States. Mr. Miller served as
editor for the BU Law Review and graduated cum laude
while playing for the New England Patriots and later
for the Oakland Raiders.
Edward McCarthy (‘62)
For Distinguished Service to the School
A founding partner of McCarthy, Bouley & Barry PC,
Ed McCarthy has been practicing law for four decades
as a specialist in medical malpractice defense, product
liability, general health and hospital law as well as serving
as a long-standing supporter of the BU Law community.
As the permanent class president for his graduation year,
he has been actively involved in fundraising, organizing
reunions and bringing together classmates over the past
40 years. He has also served as a member of the Alumni
Association Executive Committee for decades. Mr.
McCarthy served as an adjunct professor of Health and
Hospital Law at the New England School of Law and
was named to the Super Lawyers of Massachusetts by
Boston Magazine and as one of the Best Lawyers in America
in 2007.
Martha Coakley (’79)
For Distinguished Service to the Community
The first woman elected attorney general for the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2006, Martha
Coakley began her legal career practicing civil
litigation with the firm of Parker, Coulter, Daley &
White and later with Goodwin Procter in Boston.
She joined the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office in
1986 and was invited by the U.S. Justice Department
to join the Boston Organized Crime Strike Force as
a special attorney in 1987. Attorney General Coakley
returned to the District Attorney’s Office in 1989
and was appointed the chief of the Child Abuse
Prosecution Unit in 1991. Throughout her career,
Attorney General Coakley has been committed to
improving the well-being of her community, having
served as president of the Massachusetts District
Attorney’s Association, president of the Women’s Bar
Association of Massachusetts and as a Board member
of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. She also served
26 | The Record | Fall 2007

Law and Arts Corner
as the Board Chair for the Directors of Middlesex
Partnership for Youth, a non-profit organization
committed to providing prevention and intervention
resources and training to Middlesex school districts
and communities.
Leiha Macauley (’01)
Young Lawyer’s Chair
An associate at Day Pitney LLP, Ms. Macauley was
honored early in her career as one of only ten young
lawyers in Boston selected to participate in the Boston
Bar Association’s Public Interest Leadership Program.
As a Public Interest leader, she spent more than 250
hours serving the Boston community and developing
opportunities for new lawyers to participate in
public service. Ms. Macauley later developed and
directed Boston’s first pro bono partnership between
Day Pitney and a community health center, East
Boston Community Health Center. Attorneys work
at the clinic two hours each week, providing legal
counsel and advocacy for families who encounter
legal obstacles in accessing basic needs such as food,
housing, education and health care. Due to Ms.
Macauley’s dedication to pro bono work, 85 percent
of attorneys at Day Pitney now participate in this
program. Ms. Macauley also serves as chair of the
Junior Fellows of the Boston Bar Foundation and
is a member of the Boston Bar Association’s Public
Interest committee and Day Pitney’s Diversity and
Women Working Together Committees.
Tim Hall
The Gerard H. Cohen Award for Distinguished Service to
the School of Law
A member of the Facilities Management Department for
30 years, Tim Hall has shown a remarkable dedication
to the BU community, and specifically the law tower,
where he has been based for 25 years. A former member
of the military and a familiar face around Boston
University School of Law, Mr. Hall is known for his
sense of humor as well as his willingness to help faculty
and students, to whom he has grown close over his many
years of service at the University.
Allan Stone
In 1960, now-legendary art collector Allan Stone (’58) abandoned a
legal career on Wall Street to open a Manhattan gallery showcasing
the works of Abstract Expressionists and then-emerging artists.
After graduating from BU Law and moving to New York, Stone
gave much of his time (as well as free legal advice) to artists such as
Robert S. Neuman and Elaine de Kooning.
Over the years, Stone used his expertise to influence the rise of New
York City as the center of the international art world.
While Stone passed away in December 2000, his memory lives on
in a documentary based on his life. In the film, “The Collector,”
Olympia Stone, his daughter, sets out to understand her father’s
obsessive passion for art.
Faye Gloria Stone
BU Law alumna Faye Gloria Stone (’47), who died of cancer in
November 2006, devoted herself to making the arts a priority on
the BU campus.
A 1994 recipient of BU’s Alumni Award, Stone recently pledged
$500,000 to renovate the Boston University Art Gallery, renamed
the Faye G., Jo and James Stone Gallery.
In 2006, she established a permanent scholarship, the Faye G., Jo
and James Stone Scholarship to provide full scholarships to one or
more undergraduate students in BU’s College of Fine Arts.
