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.
