FROM THE Dean’s DeskDear Alumni and Friends:This is the first letter I have been ableto write to you as dean <strong>of</strong> the lawschool. I hope to be able to write severalmore over the next few years.I was enormously flattered to be askedby Father David O’Connell, the president<strong>of</strong> Catholic University, to serve as dean.My appointment came as I began my 29thyear on this faculty. I have had severalopportunities to meet with individual graduatesand groups <strong>of</strong> alumni over the pastfew months. Each meeting confirms all thegreat and wonderful things our graduatesare doing, every day <strong>of</strong> the week, all overthe world. As I’ve spoken to many <strong>of</strong> you,I’ve been able to tell you about one <strong>of</strong> theenormous pleasures and satisfactions inteaching — watching what your formerstudents do when they get out into the realworld.In so many respects, the law school hasnever been better. We now enroll approximately950 students, roughly 300 <strong>of</strong> whichare in the evening division. The full-timefaculty now comprises more than 45 productive,hard working teachers and scholars.Our staff, one <strong>of</strong> the best in the world,numbers around 100.In the past two years, the entering credentials<strong>of</strong> the first-year class have risenmeasurably. We have nearly tripled theamount <strong>of</strong> financial aid we <strong>of</strong>fer to theincoming students. This year’s enteringfirst-year class comprises 243 full-time and87 part-time students. There are 180women and 154 men in the class who comefrom 165 different undergraduate schools,34 states and four foreign countries. One <strong>of</strong>them has five graduate degrees in biologyand management. Another owns and operatesseven Burger King franchises. Anotherfirst-year student is the chief <strong>of</strong> staff atGeorgetown University Hospital. One hasperformed as the percussionist <strong>of</strong> theHouston Sinfonietta. Another was, forthree years in a row, the leading scorer forthe Princeton University soccer team. Yetanother was a police <strong>of</strong>ficer in Memphis.Several others served in the JesuitVolunteer Corps, the Vincentian ServiceCorps, the Peace Corps and Americorps.Around 95 percent <strong>of</strong> our studentshave found law-related employment withinnine months <strong>of</strong> graduation. Unlike a number<strong>of</strong> other law schools, our placement statisticsremain strong. While most <strong>of</strong> ourrecent graduates have gone into privatepractice, we continue to see significantnumbers entering government service. Weare highly competitive with regard to clerkships,including federal clerkships. In thepast two years, we have placed one graduateas a clerk on the Ninth Circuit andanother in a Fifth Circuit clerkship. Two <strong>of</strong>last year’s graduates became foreign service<strong>of</strong>ficers. Several others were PresidentialFellows. We are optimistic about the jobmarket for this year’s graduating class, but Iwill need your help in making sure that ourgraduates are recognized for their excellenceand achievement and placed in thebest possible entry-level positions.The faculty continues to teach excellentclasses and to crank out books and articlesat a significant rate <strong>of</strong> production.Recent additions to our faculty includeSarah Duggin, the former general counsel<strong>of</strong> Amtrak, and Peter (“Bo”) Rutledge, aformer clerk for Supreme Court JusticeClarence Thomas. Under the guidance <strong>of</strong>Pr<strong>of</strong>essor David Lipton, the facultyapproved a new certificate program insecurities law that is proving highly popularamong our student body. Our other specializedprogram are thriving: communicationslaw, for which I am serving as interimdirector, law and public policy underPr<strong>of</strong>essor Lisa Lerman, comparative andinternational law with Pr<strong>of</strong>essor RettLudwikowski, and law and religion administeredby Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Robert Destro. Thefaculty remains active both internally andexternally. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Michael Noone hasmade multiple trips to Geneva,Switzerland, on projects involving militaryjustice and military tribunals. Pr<strong>of</strong>essorWilliam Kaplin has been on a national lecturecircuit discussing the Supreme Court’srecent affirmative action decisions. Ourclinics play to strong reviews around thecountry.But I don’t want to overplay the U.S.News game <strong>of</strong> evaluating law schools merelyby raw statistics. A law school, particularlythis law school, is far more than a simplemeasure <strong>of</strong> student/faculty ratio, <strong>of</strong> placementfigures, <strong>of</strong> bar pass statistics. Weremain devoted to the mission <strong>of</strong> the universityand the mission <strong>of</strong> the Church. Iwant a faculty and a student body with thehighest aspirations <strong>of</strong> ethics and excellencein practice. I never want to lose sight <strong>of</strong> allthose graduates <strong>of</strong> ours who went into publicservice. These graduates litigate childabuse cases in D.C. Superior Court. Theyrepresent tenants in Prince George'sCounty. They work with the elderly aroundthe country. To assist our current studentswith these same aspirations, I will be talkingto all <strong>of</strong> you about scholarships and establishinga loan forgiveness program.Often, I am asked for my vision for thelaw school. On a number <strong>of</strong> occasions I’vementioned that two weeks after I arrivedhere as a first-year student in August 1970,I felt as if I had come home. I’ve never reallylost that feeling. But I don’t want us to betotally comfortable. I don’t want us to reston past laurels. Any law school <strong>of</strong> goodquality these days must continue to achieveand excel. Our high standard was set at thevery beginning by our first dean, WilliamCallyhan Robinson, who left Yale <strong>Law</strong><strong>School</strong> with the goal <strong>of</strong> duplicating itsexcellence right here. Dean Robinson envisioneda Roman Catholic law school in thefinest traditions and with the deepestappreciation for the university and theChurch. It was, and is, a worthy goal. Let uscontinue to pursue it.William F. Fox, Jr.Dean and Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>

Y OUR OpinionsDEAR EDITOR,The tribute to Nat Garcia [Spring 2003] is longoverdue. Her smile and help to everyone is a lasting memory<strong>of</strong> being part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>CUA</strong> law community. That is whylong ago I funded a water fountain in Nat’s name at the “new”law school. When Nat learned about this she proclaimed herjoy by stating that water is the gift <strong>of</strong> life. With all respect,Nat, you are still the gift <strong>of</strong> life to many.Nancy Brouillard McKenzie ’87We encourage your comments, questions and opinions. Write tous at: Editor, <strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer, <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>, TheCatholic University <strong>of</strong> America, Washington, DC 20064.DEAR EDITOR,I was delighted to read your online article on Ms. Daleon pages 12 and 13 <strong>of</strong> your Spring 2003 edition. I had theprivilege <strong>of</strong> meeting Ms. Dale in June. Her sister, BrydHowell Granger, was a distinguished pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> English atthe University <strong>of</strong> Arizona, the author <strong>of</strong> many books andserved in the World War II WASP (Women Air ForceService Pilots).Byrd’s sister, Laura Dale, was a staunch supporter.I enjoyed very much talking with Ms. Dale, and hadhoped to visit her this fall. Sadly, her death in Septemberfrom a heart attack makes this impossible.I hope you’ll note her passing in the next edition <strong>of</strong> yourmagazine.Pat JerniganKnocking at The Door: Another Shining ClassThe Office <strong>of</strong> Admissions is delighted to report that theClass <strong>of</strong> 2006–07 presented credentials that were thestrongest ever to matriculate at Catholic University’slaw school. The admissions committee took advantage <strong>of</strong>the increased interest in <strong>CUA</strong>’s law school (where applicationvolume has risen nearly 30 percent in two years) byincreasing its level <strong>of</strong> selectivity. The committee admitted30 percent <strong>of</strong> the full-time and 27 percent <strong>of</strong> the part-timeapplicants in the most recent applicant pool. The LSATrange for the middle 50 percent <strong>of</strong> full-time first-year studentsrose from 154-158 to 156-160. The correspondingLSAT range for part-time first-year students rose from 151-156 to 152-157.The 178 women and 148 men who make up this classweave a rich and intricate tapestry <strong>of</strong> diverse histories,experiences and perspectives. A significant number <strong>of</strong> studentsare entering the <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> with previousbackground in the “caring pr<strong>of</strong>essions”: law enforcement,medicine, mission work and social work. Studentshave served in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, the Peace Corpsand Americorps. They sport graduate degrees in fields asdiverse as environmental law, polymer science, biology andmanagement. Pr<strong>of</strong>essional musicians, a pr<strong>of</strong>essional volleyballplayer, a leading scorer for the Princeton Universitywomen’s soccer team, and a former runway model helpcomprise an entering class that defies easy classification.But two adjectives that surely fit are “accomplished”and “fascinating.”Looking forward, the Office <strong>of</strong> Admissions continuesto build on a successful past. “We expect this to beanother very busy year for admissions. I don’t see anyindication that interest in law is falling <strong>of</strong>f,” says the director<strong>of</strong> admissions, Eric Eden. Eden credits law school visitsand contact with alumni and faculty for the higher applicationand matriculation rates. He believes that students aremore likely to choose Catholic University for their legal studiesonce they have visited the school and had a chance totalk to pr<strong>of</strong>essors and sit in on classes. Receptions heldacross the country also give prospective students a taste <strong>of</strong>what best characterizes the <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>.According to Eden, “Students choosing among law schoolsin the D.C. area are attracted to us because <strong>of</strong> our environmentand size. Even a quick visit or meeting with alumnihelps students see that we are a special place — theyinstinctively know that they would not just be another number.The admissions <strong>of</strong>fice looks forward to working withalumni to pull together another stellar class.”<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 3

IRREPLACEABLEPeoplePr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> LifeBy Debra (Bauhaus) Brown,Class <strong>of</strong> 1988Where were you in October <strong>of</strong>1987 when the stock marketcrashed? I was a student inPr<strong>of</strong>essor David Lipton’s SecuritiesRegulation class. Whether that lifesizeevent was the spark or whether itwas the fact that Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Liptonreally liked my last name (therefore Iwas called on <strong>of</strong>ten), I have been astudent <strong>of</strong> securities law since thattime. Great pr<strong>of</strong>essors have the abilityto influence our lives in so manyways. I would like to share a storyabout Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Lipton’s pr<strong>of</strong>oundinfluence on my life.Pr<strong>of</strong>essor David Lipton has beenmentoring me and many other <strong>CUA</strong>law grads for many years. In a ratherunique way, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Lipton’s role aspr<strong>of</strong>essor does not end with graduation,it begins. While in class,Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Lipton begins recruiting forthe Securities <strong>Law</strong> Alumni Association.This is a group <strong>of</strong> esteemed<strong>CUA</strong> law grads who established theircareers in the field <strong>of</strong> securities law.Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Lipton hosts an annualsecurities law alumni luncheon andissues a securities law directory everyfew years. He sends us an annual lettertelling us <strong>of</strong> the latest “securitiesdepartment news,” including therecent announcement <strong>of</strong> a certificationprogram in securities law. It is thisongoing level <strong>of</strong> support that encouragesme and others to write to tellPr<strong>of</strong>essor Lipton <strong>of</strong> our recent accomplishments.Back in the fall <strong>of</strong> 1999, I felt thatI had some significant accomplishmentsto report to Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Lipton. Iwrote to him proudly about a recentlypublished article in the Investment<strong>Law</strong>yer and special projects that I hadbeen working on. At the end <strong>of</strong> thenote, I casually mentioned that Iwas coaching soccer to a team <strong>of</strong>5-year-old boys.Debra Bauhaus Brown (blue sweatshirt, upperright) has expanded her definition <strong>of</strong> success.A few days later I receiveda wonderful e-mail from Pr<strong>of</strong>essorLipton. Strangely enough, the e-maildid not even mention my publishedarticle and other work accomplishments.Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Lipton told me howhe had coached soccer for 16 yearsand had enjoyed every minute <strong>of</strong>spending time with his children andother children. He wrote <strong>of</strong> how heloved the smell <strong>of</strong> the soccer field ona crisp fall morning. He wrote <strong>of</strong> howhe missed those days on the soccerfield and how happy he was to hearthat I was coaching.The message for me wasclear — our most valuable accomplishmentscan be in coaching orspending time with our children.Since the day I read that e-mail, myoutlook toward coaching changed dramatically.I now have coached morethan 10 seasons <strong>of</strong> soccer for teams<strong>of</strong> girls and boys. I became an <strong>of</strong>ficialfor USA Swimming and a gatekeeperfor USA Ski racing. This past yearmy husband joined the Ski Patrolwhere we ski. These endeavors havebrought great meaning to our livesand help us share sports with ourchildren. I proudly declare that I amnot a “soccer mom” because I am a“soccer coach”!It is <strong>of</strong>ten said that great teachersare those who inspire theirstudents to do great things and whonever give up on their students.Perhaps Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Lipton’s greatest“The message for me was clear — our most valuableaccomplishments can be in coaching or spending time withour children. Since the day I read that e-mail, my outlooktoward coaching changed dramatically.”gift to his students is his willingnessto keep teaching us long after weleave the classroom. My job as acoach is to teach each child to lovethe game <strong>of</strong> soccer. At the end <strong>of</strong>each season, I present a trophy toeach player and congratulate them ona great season. I see my former playersall over town and share a specialbond with each <strong>of</strong> them. The parentsall express their appreciation for myservices as coach. But I know that Iam the one who is grateful. On the<strong>final</strong> day <strong>of</strong> each season when I amhanding out those trophies, my mindwanders to the great Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Liptonwho taught me about what wasmost important in the life <strong>of</strong> thissecurities lawyer.<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 5


FRESHPerspectives“I want excellence to be our bottom line”A Conversation with the DeanIn July 2003, at the request <strong>of</strong> theVery Rev. David M. O’Connell,President <strong>of</strong> The Catholic University<strong>of</strong> America, William F. Foxaccepted the deanship <strong>of</strong> the<strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> for what willbe at least a two-year appointment.Dean Fox becomes the 24th dean <strong>of</strong>the <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. Heassumes the helm at a time <strong>of</strong> shiningpromise for the school, but also a time<strong>of</strong> sobering challenges. During arecent chat with <strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer, ournew dean outlines his thoughts, plansand above all, enthusiasm for leadingthe law school he loves.Connecting to students has always been atop priority for the law school's new dean.<strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer: YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN ANEXTREMELY BUSY MAN, AND THESE DAYSYOUR WORK LOAD IS HEAVIER THAN EVER.WHEN THE INVITATION TO ASSUME THE DEAN-SHIP WAS EXTENDED, WHY DID YOU SAY YES?Dean Fox: I have spent roughly onehalf<strong>of</strong> my life at this law school. I firstcame here as a student in August1970 and became a member <strong>of</strong> thefaculty five years later. When I firstheard about Dean Kmiec’s resignation,it seemed to me that we desperatelyneeded a period <strong>of</strong> stability andequilibrium after the turnover in thedean’s <strong>of</strong>fice over the past severalyears. When Father O’Connell,the university president, askedme to take the position I was veryhappy to say yes.<strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer: AS STUDENT, PROFESSORAND ADMINISTRATOR, YOU’VE BEEN ASSOCI-ATED WITH THE COLUMBUS SCHOOL OFLAW FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS. YOU’VEDECLINED OFFERS TO LEAVE IN THE PAST.WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS LAW SCHOOL THATKEEPS YOU HERE?Dean Fox: This is a veryspecial place. Its “specialness”is confirmed for mewhen I have occasion to goelsewhere and to see otherlaw schools and otherplaces where lawyers work.I have always beenimpressed by this lawschool’s dedication to themission <strong>of</strong> the universityand to the Roman CatholicChurch. We make faith andreason two <strong>of</strong> the mostimportant pillars <strong>of</strong> the lawschool. We have thecourage to address, discuss anddebate those crucial issues that intersectlaw and religion. At many lawschools, such discussion is eitherignored or deprecated.We also have a culture <strong>of</strong> hardwork, commitment, civility and generousness<strong>of</strong> spirit that is lacking in mostother places where I’ve spent time. Ihave a little mantra that I use when Ispeak to groups outside the lawschool: I think we have the best facultyon the East Coast; I think we havethe best students in the UnitedStates; I think we have the best staffin the world. That combination isimpressive and compelling. The buildingthat we occupy is magnificent. Ilove showing it <strong>of</strong>f to strangers. Ienjoy seeing their jaws drop whenthey first walk into the atrium. We areplanning a large-scale celebrationaround October 1, <strong>2004</strong>, to commemoratethe 10th anniversary <strong>of</strong> the building.But we’re not just a pile <strong>of</strong> bricksand mortar. The most important andvaluable part <strong>of</strong> this law school is thepeople who are part <strong>of</strong> our community.It’s the people who make mehappy to come to work every day.They are the reason I’ve stayed onwith no regrets whatsoever.<strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer: WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHSOF THE COLUMBUS SCHOOL OF LAW?WHAT ARE ITS BIGGEST CHALLENGES?Dean Fox: I’ve already articulatedsome <strong>of</strong> the strengths in my earlieranswer. Another considerable source<strong>of</strong> strength is our alumni. I love teachingand I never want to be too far froma classroom. Teaching has alwaysbeen a source <strong>of</strong> great satisfaction forme. But another source is simplywatching all the great things that ourgraduates accomplish when theyleave here. One <strong>of</strong> the easiest waysfor me to become re-energized is toget out with our alumni and just sitand talk for a while.One <strong>of</strong> my big challenges isimproving the law school’s fundraisingpr<strong>of</strong>ile. Development herehas been static for too many years.One <strong>of</strong> my primary tasks as dean israising money. That’s something I’mhappy to tackle, but it’s not anythingthat I can do completely on my own. Iam enlisting the help <strong>of</strong> staff, faculty,students and graduates. We need6 <strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>


“The most important and valuable part <strong>of</strong> thislaw school is the people who are part <strong>of</strong> ourcommunity. It’s the people who make mehappy to come to work every day.They are the reason I’ve stayed on withno regrets whatsoever.”As the public face <strong>of</strong> <strong>CUA</strong> law, Dean Fox projects its standard <strong>of</strong> excellenceto the outside world.money for financial aid, for a loanrepayment program and many otherthings. Unlike most other law schools,we have no properly endowedpr<strong>of</strong>essorial chairs. I hope to bedean when we get our firstfully endowed pr<strong>of</strong>essorship.Another considerable challengeis improving our bar passage rate. Wehave launched a full court press onthis problem. I won’t sleep until ouroverall pass rate is at least 85 percentin all the jurisdictions where we sendour graduates.I also want to work assiduouslyat raising the external pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> thislaw school. I’ve been troubled foryears that the individual reputations <strong>of</strong>our faculty, staff, students and graduatesis actually greater than the reputation<strong>of</strong> the law school as a whole.We’ve been too circumspect and toomodest in touting our accomplishments.Too many people don’t knowwho we are and how good we are. Iintend to rectify that.<strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer: YOU HAVE A LONG TRACKRECORD HERE AND STRONG RELATIONSHIPSWITH MANY PEOPLE. HOW DOES THIS HELP?Dean Fox: I know all the faculty members.I’m getting to know the entirestaff. I’ve had the privilege <strong>of</strong> teachinga substantial percentage <strong>of</strong> our graduates.So I’m a familiar quantity here.I’m comfortable with everyone. I thinkmost people are comfortable withme. At the same time, I can say “no”when it’s important to make harddecisions. I think just about everyonehere understands that my basic goal,my personal mission so to speak, is tobe supportive and helpful, rather thannegative.<strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer: DO YOU HAVE A PHILOSO-PHY OF LIFE AND WORK THAT YOU BRING TOTHIS JOB EACH DAY?Dean Fox: Two weeks after I camehere as a student in 1970, I felt like Ihad come home. I still feel that way.<strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer: IT IS NO SECRET THATMANY PEOPLE IN THE <strong>CUA</strong> LAW COMMUNI-TY, WHETHER THEY ARE STUDENTS, FACULTYOR ALUMNI, ARE CONCERNED WITH MAIN-TAINING STABILITY AND CONTINUITY IN THEOFFICE OF THE DEAN. WHAT DO YOU SEE ASTHE SOLUTION?Dean Fox: I intend to stay in thisjob as long as the president <strong>of</strong>the university and this faculty wantme to stay.<strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer: WHAT IS YOUR VISION FORTHE COLUMBUS SCHOOL OF LAW?Dean Fox: I want excellence to be ourbottom line. Excellence in everythingwe do, whether it be classroomteaching, scholarship or internaladministration. I want this law schoolto be constantly mindful and fully supportive<strong>of</strong> the mission <strong>of</strong> the universityand the mission <strong>of</strong> the Church. Iwant this concept <strong>of</strong> excellence topermeate even the walls <strong>of</strong> this place,to be so infectious that no one canenter without being impressed andenthused to be a part <strong>of</strong> it.<strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer: WE ARE BACK IN THE U.S.NEWS SECOND TIER RANKINGS, AND HAVEADMITTED ANOTHER STRONG CLASS THISYEAR. WHERE DO WE GO NEXT?Dean Fox: I want to see that rankingconstantly improve. Part <strong>of</strong> that improvementis making sure that theoutside world understands how goodwe are. But I don’t want to be so fixatedon rankings that we forget whowe are. I don’t want pursuit <strong>of</strong> thingsthat U.S. News deems important todrown all the special things that keepso many <strong>of</strong> us here.<strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong>yer: WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DOIN YOUR SPARE TIME, IF ANY EXISTS?Dean Fox: I like flying airplanes. Ioccasionally jump out <strong>of</strong> them (with aparachute, <strong>of</strong> course). On those rareSunday afternoons when I can spendtime in my shop, woodworking mesmerizesme. One nice thing aboutbecoming dean is that I can justify flyingmy own plane to some <strong>of</strong> myexternal appointments, and I nowhave control over three large rooms inthe dean’s suite that desperately neednew, hand-made pieces <strong>of</strong> furniture!<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 7


PEOPLE INActionAlums Get a ‘Firm’ Gripon Their Careersby Gina AmeroWhile some people spend agreat deal <strong>of</strong> time regrettingtheir career choices, thereare those like <strong>CUA</strong> alumni Scott Gillyand Douglas Wigdor who have neverbeen plagued by the nagging doubt <strong>of</strong>“What if?” So what did it take to getthem to the point <strong>of</strong> occupationalbliss? Intense motivation, a five-yearplan and a willingness to take a riskthat many lawyers dream <strong>of</strong> doing butnever get around to acting upon: theyfounded their own law firm.“The idea <strong>of</strong> controlling our owndestiny was more appealing to usthan what a large law firm partnership<strong>of</strong>fers,” Wigdor said. “To me, it hasbeen the best career decision I evermade, without question.”A great career decision indeed,as Wigdor and Gilly are now partnersin a successful New York-based litigationfirm known as Thompson Wigdor& Gilly LLP. The firm, which was startedbarely one year ago, specializes inemployment law, criminal trial work,sports and entertainment law, laborrelations and civil rights. Within thefirst four months <strong>of</strong> business,Thompson Wigdor & Gilly handled thenationwide civil rights class action suitfiled against Federated DepartmentStores and Macy’s alleged racial pr<strong>of</strong>iling<strong>of</strong> alleged shoplifters, as well asa class action suit against Reuters.These high-pr<strong>of</strong>ile cases haveexposed them to both national andLeft-to-right: They hung their shingle less than a year ago, butalready Douglas Wigdor, Kenneth Thompson and Scott Gillyare shooting to the top.international media attention andafforded them coverage on thefront page <strong>of</strong> The New York Times —priceless publicity for a young firm.“When we started the firm, weplanned that we would have somelean years. Fortunately, we have had alevel <strong>of</strong> business that has surprised all<strong>of</strong> us,” Wigdor said. “In the short timewe have been doing this, it has beena tremendous success.”With a growing support staff anda prime <strong>of</strong>fice location on the 57thfloor <strong>of</strong> the Empire State Building,Wigdor and Gilly have come a longway from their beginnings in thetraditional large firm setting. Now, thelong hours they put in are a littleeasier to bear knowing that they areworking for themselves. Prior tostarting their firm, Scott Gilly andDouglas Wigdor wereassociates in the NewYork <strong>of</strong>fices <strong>of</strong> MorganLewis & Bockius,where they worked inthe firm’s labor andemployment practice.While they were contentworking forone <strong>of</strong> the mostprominent management-sidelabor andemployment firms inthe country, both Wigdorand Gilly sawbigger and betterthings on the horizon — they wantedto be in command <strong>of</strong> their own future.Sharing in their vision wasKenneth P. Thompson, a fellow associateat Morgan Lewis and the thirdpartner in Thompson Wigdor & Gilly.Together, the trio started to makelong-term plans for breaking out ontheir own. Over a year’s period, theyhashed out a partnership agreement,business plans and the detailsinvolved in starting their own practice.From letterhead, to a Web site, tomalpractice insurance, the youngentrepreneurs planned their entirebusiness outlook while still maintainingtheir demanding positions atMorgan Lewis.“Individually, we all came togetherthrough following very differentpaths,” Gilly said. “We all have“We reflect back to when we were law students and the valuable guidance we received fromalumni who were in touch with the student body.

With a growing support staffand a prime <strong>of</strong>fice locationon the 57th floor <strong>of</strong> theEmpire State Building, Wigdorand Gilly have come a long wayfrom their beginnings in thetraditional large firm setting.different perspectives and noticedthat in working together we complementedone another very well. Thatjust strengthened the belief that wewould make good partners.”On February 17, 2003, the firm <strong>of</strong>Thompson Wigdor & Gilly <strong>of</strong>ficiallyopened for business. It opened itsdoors with four employees — threepartners and an <strong>of</strong>fice manager, whoalso came from Morgan Lewis.However, they have since added anadditional administrative assistant andfour associates, putting them on trackto reach one <strong>of</strong> their first goals —recruiting about 10 to 20 lawyers overthe next five years.“We know it isn’t going tohappen overnight, but if we keepgenerating business as we havebeen able to do thus far, wewill continue to work hard and cultivatea growing number <strong>of</strong> clients,”Wigdor said.As Wigdor and Gilly look backupon their years as law students at<strong>CUA</strong> school <strong>of</strong> law, they recall whenthey first tested their compatibility asa team. As students in Pr<strong>of</strong>essorLouis Barracato’s Trial Advocacy class,they teamed up to develop a mockfirm, which they conveniently namedGilly, Wigdor & Associates. Throughthis type <strong>of</strong> classwork and theirinvolvement on the <strong>CUA</strong> <strong>Law</strong> Review,<strong>of</strong> which Gilly was editor-in-chief, theysensed a connection that foreshadowedwhat would one day evolve.“It was clear to us during our lawschool days that Doug and I workedwell together and would make a successfulcombination in the future,”Gilly said. “It was never anything wehad made concrete plans to do, butwe had a sense that we would enjoydoing it in the future if circumstancespresented themselves.”Eventually, those circumstanceswould surface after following theirown chosen paths after graduation in1993. Following the advice <strong>of</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>essorWilliam Fox, Wigdor pursuedhis master’s degree at the University<strong>of</strong> Oxford in England. During this timehe also married his wife, Catherine,with whom he has sons Jacob andSimon. In the meantime, Gilly, whohad kept in touch with his old friend,married wife Megan. The two men’slives intersected again in New Yorkafter Gilly transferred to MorganLewis’ New York <strong>of</strong>fices fromWashington D.C. Deciding that thetiming was right, Wigdor accepted aposition with the firm as well, puttinghim right alongside his old pal fromlaw school.Fate and good fortune haveplayed major roles in Wigdor andGilly’s journey throughout the past 10years, but they also credit <strong>CUA</strong> withproviding them a solid foundation <strong>of</strong>valuable education. Their latestendeavors have proved to them,though, that a combination <strong>of</strong> educationand valuable experience is whatreally makes a lawyer ready for the life<strong>of</strong> self-management. To show theirgratitude for <strong>CUA</strong>’s influence on theirlife, they stay involved as activealumni and hope to influence today’sstudents.“We reflect back to when wewere law students and the valuableguidance we received from alumniwho were in touch with the studentbody. We feel committed and believeit is important to share that same dedicationto the school by giving themthe same opportunities we had tobuild relationships with practicinglawyers,” Gilly said.A month after the opening <strong>of</strong>their firm, Wigdor and Gilly invited 15prospective <strong>CUA</strong> students and otheralumni to their mid-town Manhattan<strong>of</strong>fices for a cocktail party in theirconference room. While takingin views <strong>of</strong> the East and Hudsonrivers, Wigdor and Gilly <strong>of</strong>fered thepotential students some reasons why<strong>CUA</strong> is the perfect place to earn alaw degree. And judging by thesuccess these two law grads haveexperienced in their short time out <strong>of</strong>law school, it seems anyone wouldbenefit from taking their advice.<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 9


A L T E R N A T I V E C A R E E R SDAYNA BARNETTE ‘02EYES ON THE WORLDTHINGS WERE LOOKING IFFY WHEN DAYNA BARNETTE GRADUATED FROM THE COLUMBUS SCHOOL OF LAW INDECEMBER 2002. SHE KNEW SHE WANTED TO WORK FOR HERSELF, BUT WAS COOL TO THE IDEA OF ACTUALLYPRACTICING LAW. TROUBLE WAS, THERE WERE NO EMPLOYMENT OFFERS OF ANY KIND ON THE HORIZON, ANDLOANS WERE STARTING TO COME DUE. LACKING A BETTER ALTERNATIVE, SHE BEGAN TO STUDY FOR THECALIFORNIA BAR.The day after shetook the test, her lifechanged forever. Aproducer for ABC News,aware <strong>of</strong> Barnette’spre-law school careeras a photographer forthe Defense Department,called to ask if she was willingto travel to western Iraq to film a yet-to-be-releaseddocumentary on the <strong>final</strong> days <strong>of</strong> Saddam.“It was a great experience that I could not passup. I never would have gotten the job with ABCwithout my legal training and my past experience.Almost all <strong>of</strong> the producers and journalists I workedwith in Iraq have law degrees,” says Barnette.Her team spent three months filming and shuttlingbetween Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. Some<strong>of</strong> her footage has already been shown on ABC’sevening news. The rest is still in production. Herfront-line presence in Iraq during the height <strong>of</strong>the war went well pr<strong>of</strong>essionally, though it couldbe personally wrenching — “what I saw with myown eyes was devastating,” she recalls. Her networkcontacts may result in further documentarywork, such as filming “Bin Laden’s Backyard” — alook at areas in the world where terrorists are able tooperate because <strong>of</strong> a lack <strong>of</strong> government control.For the moment, however, Dayna Barnetteis back in Washington, paying the bills by doingfreelance writing and research for both think tanksand private law firms. Armed with her <strong>CUA</strong> degree,her rates have, in some cases, quadrupled. “In pureeconomic terms, I am really glad that I obtained mydegree!” she laughs.Not every recent law school graduate wantsto swap a fancy <strong>of</strong>fice for desert boots and flyingbullets. But the point, Barnette believes, is that alaw degree opens doors and expands options, alesson that stressed-out lawyers (and students) cansometimes forget. She admits that self employment isnot the most secure way to go — there are those peskybills, after all — although she has been able to surviveso far. But she is excited that less than two years out <strong>of</strong>law school, she is living her main dream <strong>of</strong> workingfor herself. For the time being that may include dabblingin different kinds <strong>of</strong> assignments, includingfuture forays into video journalism.“While I was in school it was hard to believe thatgetting a law degree was going to help me in the longrun — particularly because I didn’t think I wantedto practice law,” says Barnette. “But I can tellyou that it does make a difference to the people whohave hired me. I know it will only help in whateverI decide to do.”<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 11


A L T E R N A T I V E C A R E E R SAMY FELICES-YOUNG ‘88HER POST-LAW SCHOOLSTEPS WERE JUST CAPITOL!FAIR OR NOT, THE POPULAR IMAGE OF LAWYERS PERSISTS TODAY AS AN ARMY OF BUTTONED-DOWN DRONES,JOYLESS WORKER BEES ABOUT AS FUN TO TALK TO AS THE LIVING ROOM DRAPES. FOR CONFIRMATION,SEE THE WEEKLY CARTOONS IN THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE.It’s not true, <strong>of</strong> course, and people like AmyYoung are a big reason why. While her law schoolclassmates were nervously polishing their shoes, teethand résumés for crucial first interviews with powerhousefirms, Young auditioned for — and won — aspot with one <strong>of</strong> the funniest, most innovative andtopical comedy troupes in the country: the CapitolSteps (shown here circa 1996, Young impersonatesHillary Clinton, upper left). It was about as far fromthe typical junior associate grind as you can get, andshe never regretted it.“Not once. I made great money, had a 401K, andmuch <strong>of</strong> my work was at amazing vacation resorts allover the country, meeting famous politicians, actorsand government <strong>of</strong>ficials, including performing at theWhite House for Presidents Reagan and Bush,”she recalls.A beloved Washington institution, the CapitolSteps have kept audiences rolling in the aisles formore than 20 years, serving up irreverent skits andsongs that skillfully deflate the high and mighty.Composed <strong>of</strong> current and former Capitol Hill staffers,the act was a natural draw for then Amy Felices. Aperformer in high school musicals, she minored intheatre arts at the University <strong>of</strong> Maryland, andfollowed that with a Master <strong>of</strong> Fine Arts in Actingfrom <strong>CUA</strong>’s Drama Department in 1983. Duringthe mid-1980s, she worked for former MarylandRep. Michael Barnes while attending the <strong>Columbus</strong><strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> at night. Itwas then that she decided topermanently exchange abriefcase for stage props.“There was no turningback,” says Young.With the support<strong>of</strong> friends and family,she spent the next 13 yearsmaking people laugh. Shealso married and producedthree sons: Alex, 9; Zack, 8;and Eric, 4. In 2000, Young retired from the CapitolSteps and launched a new career as a Virginia-licensedtitle agent for real estate transactions.Looking back, Young is proud <strong>of</strong> earning her lawdegree. It helps in her current line <strong>of</strong> work. Yet,although she enjoyed her time at <strong>CUA</strong> law school,she does not give the pursuit <strong>of</strong> a J.D. degree herunqualified support.“My advice would be to truly follow your heart.<strong>Law</strong> school can be a great training ground for life, butthere are other ways <strong>of</strong> going about it as well, thatmay be just as good or better. Think long and hard,”she advises.“I was attracted to criminal prosecution, trialadvocacy and immigration law — the corny motivation<strong>of</strong> fighting for justice and helping minorities. Isincerely was. But theater was much more fun.”12<strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>


A L T E R N A T I V E C A R E E R SJIM ROSCHER ‘93FROM ONE HELPINGPROFESSION TO ANOTHERA FEW YEARS BACK HE WOULD HAVE LENT YOU A BOOK. NOWADAYS, IF YOU BREAK THE LAW IN NEW YORK CITYHE JUST MAY THROW IT AT YOU INSTEAD.To some, it might appear that Jim Roscher hasmade one <strong>of</strong> the longer career leaps in the history <strong>of</strong>alumni <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. Once a lawlibrarian, he left the pr<strong>of</strong>ession to strap on the gun andbadge <strong>of</strong> the NYPD, spending four years on a beat inPatrol Borough Manhattan North. Roscher insists thetwo worlds are not as far apart as they seem. “I amstruck more by the similarities than differencesbetween the roles,” he says thoughtfully. “Librariansand police <strong>of</strong>ficers spend a great deal <strong>of</strong> time listeningto other people. And both are champions <strong>of</strong> ourFirst Amendment freedoms. America’s leaders speakto society because <strong>of</strong> the wealth <strong>of</strong> informationprotected by librarians and because <strong>of</strong> the openpublic pulpits protected by the police.”Although his father had also served as one <strong>of</strong>New York City’s Finest, (today Roscher wears hisdad’s old shield number), nothing in Roscher’s earlycareer moves suggested a future life on the force. Hehad already earned a degree in library science fromColumbia University when he applied to TheCatholic University <strong>of</strong> America’s <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Law</strong>. After receiving his J.D., he worked in DuFourlibrary for two years, helping smooth the complicatedtransition into the current law school building in1994. The following year, Roscher moved back toNew York to continue a career as a law librarian witha prominent private firm. In 1999, he surprisedfriends and family with his decision to apply for a spotin the police academy.“Earning a J.D. degree from Catholic wasprobably the main reason I changed careers from lawlibrarianship to law enforcement,”says Roscher. “Studyinglaw taught me the art <strong>of</strong> translatingideas into decisionsand decisions into actions. Also,the faculty was very good atinstructing the student body tothink in a way that was clear,concise, decisive and actionoriented.”These days, Roscher has been reassigned fromstreet duty to the department’s legal division. He isnow a police <strong>of</strong>ficer-lawyer, a combination that comesin handy. Roscher says, “Daily, police <strong>of</strong>ficers processa range <strong>of</strong> legal issues that would keep any trial orappellate court docket busy, yet we are afforded littletime for deliberation and decision and are generallyexpected to always be right. Having a law degree providesa fantastic foundation and perspective for allpolice action occurrences.”Would he recommend life in the blue uniform toothers? Satisfied with his own choices, OfficerRoscher says law enforcement (especially the NYPD)is a fine choice, but there are many paths fromwhich to choose.“A juris doctor degree, especially from TheCatholic University <strong>of</strong> America, is an excellentfoundation for every career. I encourage soon-to-begraduates to pursue their ‘heart-<strong>of</strong>-hearts’ dreamswhether classified as traditional or not.”14<strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>

SUCH SCHOOLSSTILL EXIST TODAY, INSTITUTIONS THAT IMPART MORAL PRINCIPLES AND VALUES AS THE BEDROCK UPON WHICHKNOWLEDGE MUST RIGHTFULLY REST.The Salesianum <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Wilmington,Del., is such a place. Proudlybilling itself as a “different” kind <strong>of</strong> highschool, it has been educating young menfor more than 100 years, producing morethan 13,000 graduates so far. Compared tomany high schools today, Salesianum iscertainly a world apart.A Catholic school operated by theOblates <strong>of</strong> St. Francis de Sales, theSalesian spirit forthrightly calls upon its students to“direct all <strong>of</strong> our actions to, with and through God.”Not content with merely prepping its students for theright colleges, the school places equal emphasison character building, working to instill the traits <strong>of</strong>individual responsibility and discipline that will helppropel its young students to positions <strong>of</strong> leadershiplater in life.“In a society that <strong>of</strong>ten [lacks] civility,Salesianum’s mission is more critical than ever,”observes school president, the Rev. Thomas B.Curran, O.S.F.S.Improving society by civilizing its members is aserious mission for Rev. Curran. Following a briefpost-law school clerkship with a PennsylvaniaSuperior Court judge, he moved directly into education,serving as the first president <strong>of</strong> NortheastCatholic High <strong>School</strong>. He earned a master’s degreealong the way to sharpen the essential skills in finance,enrollment, and marketing/planning that any savvyschool administrator must possess. In1997, he was selected to be the secondpresident <strong>of</strong> Salesianum <strong>School</strong>. FatherCurran quickly displayed his flair. For theschool’s 100th anniversary he oversaw thelargest capital expansion in nearly 50years. A new $7-million science centerwas constructed, and other upgrades andrenovations were launched. Students nowbenefit from a state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art sciencebuilding, a fine arts center, a renovated athletic facilityand fields, a technology corridor, memorial chapeland a conference center.“I am most grateful for my law degree andmy <strong>CUA</strong> experience,” says Father Curran. “I usemy legal education and background to monitor everythingfrom contracts, to taxation matters, totax-exempt financing, to torts, to exercising ‘duediligence’ in all engagements and undertakings forthe school.”The Salesianum <strong>School</strong>’s 100th anniversaryalso created a sort <strong>of</strong> spin-<strong>of</strong>f: the establishment <strong>of</strong>a new, faith-based, tuition-free middle schoolin Wilmington for at-risk fifth- and sixth-grade boys.The Nativity <strong>School</strong> is a kind <strong>of</strong> academic bootcamp for middle schoolers, aiming to right younglives before they go seriously astray. It also is overseenby Father Curran, and under the tutelage <strong>of</strong> one<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>’s most talentedlawyer-educators, it is sure to be a success.<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 17


A L T E R N A T I V E C A R E E R SMICHAEL HOLSTEIN ‘01TALENT MINING IN D.C.GIVEN THE TIME, COST AND EFFORT DEMANDED BY LAW SCHOOL, IT CAN’T BE COMFORTING TO REALIZE AS SOONAS YOU’RE DONE THAT YOU’D RATHER DO ALMOST ANYTHING OTHER THAN PRACTICE LAW.“I knew from day one that the business side andred tape associated with law firm life was not for me,”declares Michael Holstein.It’s not that the whole experience chafed like anill-fitting suit. Holstein liked the intellectual challenge<strong>of</strong> studying law and appreciated its utility in many differentfields. At one point, he expected to take his newJ.D. into a career as a movie producer. But that didn’tpan out, and neither did the 18 months he spent as anassociate at D.C.-based Reed Smith. The money wasgreat, Holstein concedes, but the rest <strong>of</strong> the privatepracticeworld left him cold.“There was little strategizing and way too muchdocument production, review and writing nasty discoveryrequest letters to fellow attorneys,” he recollects.“And billing hours was just the worst for me —I found it torturous to account for my day down to 10minute increments.”What to do about a career choice that didn’t feelright? Holstein stepped back, thought things through,and realized there were plenty <strong>of</strong> lawyers out therewho were temperamentally suited to life in a big firm.Why not help them land the right job?Holstein became an attorney search consultantwith Klein Landau & Romm, Inc., which claims toplace more attorneys into new positions in D.C. andNew York than anyone else. Since 1970, it has steereddozens <strong>of</strong> <strong>CUA</strong> law school graduates into plumpositions with some <strong>of</strong> the top firms in the capitalarea. All <strong>of</strong> the talent recruiters at Klein Landau &Romm are lawyers themselves. Holstein has neverregretted stepping back from the big paycheck lure <strong>of</strong>private practice.“Quality <strong>of</strong> life is the absolute number oneadvantage to this job. I work normal hours, with fun,laid-back people, which I didn’t realize how much I’dmissed until I left my law firm.”The predictable schedule has left Holstein withenough free time to launch a second business on hisown, providing event planning and marketing foryoung pr<strong>of</strong>essionals via a company called UrbanPr<strong>of</strong>essionals <strong>of</strong> D.C. (http://www.up-dc.com). Healso continues to bike, play soccer and follow the fortunes<strong>of</strong> Miami Hurricane football. Simple pleasuresafforded by the courage and self-honesty to strike outdown a new road.These days, Michael Holstein doesn’t want totalk anyone out <strong>of</strong> a career in private practice. It’s hisbread and butter, after all. But there will always besome law school graduates, like him, for whom aslightly different track turns out to be a better fit.He advises, “I think if you have reservationsabout law firm life before heading into it, as towhether it’s for you or not, odds are it’s not, but that’ssomething you have to see for yourself and experiencefor yourself.”18<strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>


A L T E R N A T I V E C A R E E R SCHRIS CONCANNON, ‘94ESQ. to SEC to VP <strong>of</strong> NASDAQ:An Alphabet Soup <strong>of</strong> AchievementHOW DO YOU NURTURE NEW GROWTH FOR WHAT IS ALREADY THE WORLD’S LARGEST ELECTRONIC STOCK MARKET?CHRIS CONCANNON MAY NOT HAVE ALL OF THE ANSWERS YET, BUT IT SURE IS A PLEASANT PROBLEM TO WRESTLE WITH.Appointed in May 2003 as executive vice president<strong>of</strong> strategy and business development forNASDAQ, Chris Concannon is charged with findingnew opportunities for the securities powerhouse thatlists 3,500 companies and averages more trades perday than any other U.S. stock market. The NASDAQname is known around the globe, and its listed companiesare some <strong>of</strong> the largest on the planet. Yet the36-year-old graduate <strong>of</strong> the law school’ssecurities program isn’t taking anythingfor granted.“In coming years we’ll see a continuedtrend toward electronic trading by notonly securities firms but also investors. Weneed to be on the cutting edge <strong>of</strong> thattrend,” says Concannon.While he never had visions <strong>of</strong> makingpartner in a large law firm, Chris Concannonalways knew that a law degreewould be an indispensable tool for thecareer he sought. Earning a Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts fromThe Catholic University <strong>of</strong> America in 1989, he followedwith a Master <strong>of</strong> Business Administrationdegree from St. John’s University two years later.While still working on his business degree, he startedcasting around for the right law school.“I chose <strong>CUA</strong> for my law degree solely because <strong>of</strong>its securities program,” says Concannon. “Whilecompleting my M.B.A., I looked at law schools andfound that <strong>CUA</strong> had the best securities law programin the country thanks to the hard work <strong>of</strong> DavidLipton. Since graduation, my original impression <strong>of</strong>the quality <strong>of</strong> the securities program at <strong>CUA</strong> is continuouslyreaffirmed as I make my way through thesecurities bar.”The move paid <strong>of</strong>f handsomely. During lawschool, Concannon worked for the American StockExchange as a legislative assistant. The job helped himland a position at the SEC, where he spent threeyears. He then left for Morgan Lewis &Bockius, where he specialized in brokerdealerand market regulation. In 1999, asmall, electronic trading company contactedConcannon with an <strong>of</strong>fer to move to anin-house position. Named Island, thecompany enjoyed rapid growth before arival acquired it. Concannon was namedpresident <strong>of</strong> the merged enterprise, wherehe served barely six months before beinglured away by the new CEO <strong>of</strong> NASDAQ.It’s been a fast and successful ride, and withgood reason Concannon “wouldn’t change a thing”about his path so far. Leaving private practice, hebelieves, allowed him to give his talents full reign.“The difference between now and then is that Iget to use my knowledge <strong>of</strong> the law to craft a businessstrategy,” he reflects.And his advice to today’s law students? “I encouragestudents not to get trapped in what is ‘expected’ <strong>of</strong>you as a law student (such as summer intern at thelargest law firm) and think about other less traditionalapproaches to their legal career.”<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>/ C UALAWYER 19


A L T E R N A T I V E C A R E E R SMIRIAM ROLLIN ‘87KEEPING KIDS ON THESTRAIGHT AND NARROWNO CHILD LEFT BEHIND HAS BECOME A WASHINGTON BUZZ PHRASE IN RECENT YEARS.THE TITLE OF A 2002 FEDERAL LAW,IT DESCRIBES A SPECIFIC PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH TO EDUCATION OVER WHICH POLITICIANS DISAGREE AND, BEINGPOLITICIANS, SOMETIMES USE TO SCORE POINTS WITH VOTERS.For Miriam Rollin, No Child Left Behind is waybeyond politics. It’s a mission, a credo and an unwaveringgoal.As federal policy director for Fight Crime: Investin Kids, a nonpr<strong>of</strong>it organization dedicated to placingin lawmaker’s hands the best available research anddata on the most effective ways to keep kids out <strong>of</strong>trouble, Rollin has little patience with political scrimmaging.She is interested only in what works.“We present to policy makers and the public thepowerful research that shows what a crime-reduction—and money-saving — difference targeted investmentsin kids can make,” she says. After-schoolprograms, early childhood care and education, andlater on, parent-coaching are among the approachesfound to help children stay out <strong>of</strong> trouble and pointedtoward success.Rollin (shown here last spring with a well-knownally in opposing budget cuts to after-school programs)is approaching 20 years in the policy advocacy field.She can’t imagine having spent her career any otherway. “I feel truly blessed to be in a job where I can'tbelieve they're paying me to do something I enjoy somuch!” she enthuses.After graduating from Yale, Rollin plungedimmediately into advocacy work on behalf <strong>of</strong> children.She lived a heady life for a 21-year-old: testifyingbefore Congress, initiating a class-action suit againstthe federal Department <strong>of</strong> Education, and addressingthousands <strong>of</strong> students at a rally on the steps <strong>of</strong> theCapitol. Later, Rollin beganevening classes at the <strong>Columbus</strong><strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>. Upon completingher J.D., she decided to give courtroomwork a shot. First as a prosecutorin Brooklyn specializing injuvenile, family violence and child abuse cases, then asa guardian ad litem/attorney for abused and neglectedchildren in Maryland and Washington, D.C.But her regular court victories on behalf <strong>of</strong> at-riskchildren during that period were <strong>of</strong>ten negated by theunavailability <strong>of</strong> placements and treatment. It becameclear that the system itself needed retooling.Rollin decided to leave the courtroom for goodand return to national policy work, culminating inher current position.“I had no desire whatsoever to work in highsalaryprivate practice,” declares Rollin. “I makeenough money to help support my family, and that'sall the money I desire. Making a difference for thenation's children, youth and families — now that’swhat motivates me!” Would it motivate others? Rollinwouldn’t be a bit surprised if it did.“Think about what you want to be doing not justnow, but 10, 20, 30 years from now. Also think aboutwhat you'd like to be able to tell your children andgrandchildren that you've accomplished in yourcareer. If that doesn't pull you into public interestwork, I don't know what will.”20<strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>


A L T E R N A T I V E C A R E E R SGENEROUSGUIDANCEIt’s a great credit to the law school’s Office <strong>of</strong>Career Legal Services that the answer to “now what?”is rarely dictated by economic imperatives. No onedecided to flip hamburgers for lack <strong>of</strong> a better choice.Indeed, the overall employment rate for the Class <strong>of</strong>2002, for example, is 93.2 percent nine months aftergraduation, with an average starting salary <strong>of</strong> morethan $72,000. For those who chose private practice,starting paychecks averaged $110,000. The <strong>Columbus</strong><strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>’s unusually high job placement ratereflects the hard work <strong>of</strong> many people, especially thecaring and generous alumni who mentor, nurture andguide our newest graduates into the legal workforce.“Last year, more than 120 alumni came to speakto students about career options and conductedmock interviews,” notes CLS Director KristenMcManus. “I hear countless stories about individualalums who mentor students one-on-one or agree toinformational interviews with students. And, <strong>of</strong>course, this doesn’t even begin to count the number <strong>of</strong><strong>CUA</strong> graduates who post internship or job noticeswith our <strong>of</strong>fice and wind up hiring our students andgraduates. I have found the support <strong>of</strong> our <strong>CUA</strong>alumni community truly extraordinary.”It should be noted that for all <strong>of</strong> the help thecareer legal services <strong>of</strong>fice extends to students andgraduates, it does not attempt to steer anyone into“traditional” legal jobs. There are shelves <strong>of</strong> resourcesdedicated to alternative careers for lawyers, a handouttitled Exploring Alternative Careers, and job listings andperiodicals devoted exclusively to alternative legalcareers.<strong>Law</strong> school can be a cold, impersonal experience.The <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> strives mightily not tobe that; instead, it <strong>of</strong>fers students a first-rate educationwhile they’re here and the opportunity for a lifetime<strong>of</strong> support and camaraderie through its alumni network.Our graduate vine grows and matures with eachpassing year, sustaining old friendships and givingblossom to new ones.

L A W Y E R S I N L I T E R A T U R EReflections on Mark Twainand The <strong>Law</strong>This article is excerpted from a full analysis <strong>of</strong> the role <strong>of</strong> lawyers and judges inMark Twain’s fiction that was originally published as: Lucia A. Silecchia,Things Are Seldom What They Seem: Judges and <strong>Law</strong>yers in the Tales <strong>of</strong> Mark Twain,35 Conn. L. Rev. 559 – 646 (2003). This piece is re-printed with the permission <strong>of</strong> the Connecticut <strong>Law</strong> Review.David Wilson. Hal Brayton. Pembrooke Howard. Robert Allen.Jim Sturgis. General Buncombe. Mr. Braham. Mr. <strong>Law</strong>son. Mr.McFlynn. These — and many anonymous others — comprise thememorable menagerie <strong>of</strong> lawyers that Mark Twain called to the bar in his prolificfiction. Judge Thatcher. Judge York Leicester Driscoll. Judge Pierre Cauchon.Judge O’Shaunnessy. Justice Robinson. Captain Ned Blakey.Governor Roop. The bench in Mark Twain’s work has beenpopulated by these and other colorful figures. Judges andlawyers have long captivated authors, and Mark Twain wasan avid creator <strong>of</strong> jurisprudential characters. A brief study <strong>of</strong>these legal characters has much to teach today’s attorneys.Mark Twain was a man <strong>of</strong> startling contrasts. He cultivatedan image <strong>of</strong> himself as a wild frontiersman; yet he marriedinto a genteel, wealthy family and lived in the heart <strong>of</strong> highbrownortheastern intellectual life. He prided himself on limitedformal education; yet, he delighted in honorary degrees from Yaleand Oxford. He portrayed himself as a bold, untamable writer;yet, by most accounts, he submitted much <strong>of</strong> what he wrote to thescrutiny <strong>of</strong> his beloved — and very proper — wife, OliviaLangdon.

L A W Y E R S I N L I T E R A T U R EThrough Tom Sawyer and other beloved characters,Clemens imparted his belief that true justice occursonly in consultation with one’s conscience.Not surprisingly, Twain’s depictions<strong>of</strong> lawyers and judges suffer from — orare enlivened by — similar inconsistencies.In an ideal world, those who servethe legal system are charged withadvancing justice. The presumption thatunderlies sound legal regimes is that thelegal process will achieve just results ifthe rules <strong>of</strong> that process are respected.Conversely, it is logical to assume thatwhen lawyers and judges disobey thoserules, injustice will result. However, thisis not true in Twain’s fiction. Instead,study <strong>of</strong> his works reveal a disturbingdichotomy between the conduct <strong>of</strong> legalcharacters and the justice they achieve orfail to achieve.Mark Twain’s life was marked withextensive personal interactions withlawyers. He claimed that he did notunderstand legal affairs and describedhis ignorance <strong>of</strong> the law in highly selfdeprecatingterms. Yet, this feigned ignorancebelies the fact that Twain, fieryand opinionated by nature, was an experiencedlitigant, an eager plaintiff, and awilling participant in legal adventuresand misadventures. He squabbled withnewspapers publishing his work; he sueda cab driver for overcharging his servant;he litigated to prevent Canadian piracy<strong>of</strong> his works; he sued to get a trademarkon his nom de plume; he fought to preventunauthorized production <strong>of</strong> hisplays; he tackled the legal ramifications<strong>of</strong> his personal bankruptcy; he participatedin the prosecution <strong>of</strong> a man whotried to rob his home; he broughtnumerous suits against his personal secretary;he plotted potential suits inresponse to critics’ doubts about theauthenticity <strong>of</strong> his memoirs <strong>of</strong> UlyssesGrant; and he brought suit to preventpremature advertising <strong>of</strong> The Adventures<strong>of</strong> Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain’s litigiousadventures were not confined tothe United States. In Italy, for example,he brought suits against the Florentinecountess who was his landlady andagainst his wife’s physician.Out <strong>of</strong> his studies and his personalinterest, Mark Twain also became a lawreform advocate on matters both proceduraland substantive. Procedurally, hebecame a consistent and outspoken critic<strong>of</strong> the jury system. The exact origin <strong>of</strong>his disdain for the jury system is unclear— but there can be no doubt as to hispassion on the issue. Twain directedsimilar venom toward the insanity pleawhich was, during his time, becomingmore widely used as a defense in criminaltrials. Perhaps he was at his sarcasticbest when he simultaneously attackedboth the jury system and the insanityplea.In substantive law as well, MarkTwain advocated reform, particularly incopyright legislation. Burned by actualand anticipated abuses <strong>of</strong> his ownintellectual property rights, Twain was afervent advocate for two particularreforms. Domestically, he pursued legislationthat would extend the copyrightprotection beyond the mere forty-twoyears then afforded so that his childrencould be supported by the income fromhis earnings long after his death. On theglobal level, he advocated stringentinternational protection <strong>of</strong> copyrightto prevent transboundary piracy <strong>of</strong>original works.Beyond his personal involvementwith the law, lawyers, and judges,Twain’s exposure to the rule <strong>of</strong> law andthe role <strong>of</strong> its agents was pr<strong>of</strong>oundlyshaped by the era during which he lived.Mark Twain was born in 1835, a timewhen the county was still young and theAmerican experiment was still new.He died in 1910, a time by which thecharacter <strong>of</strong> the young nation had beensorely tested by the fundamentalsocio-legal dilemmas <strong>of</strong> the nineteenthcentury. It was, therefore, only naturalthat Twain’s fiction would reflect uponand wrestle with legal problems.Hence, in spite <strong>of</strong> the claim Twainmade in his Autobiography that he was aman “not knowing anything about lawsexcept how to evade them and not getcaught,” he was not the naif that heclaimed to be. Instead, he had extensivepersonal knowledge <strong>of</strong> and experiencewith legal concerns. This is readilyapparent when one examines the depthwith which the legal characters aredeveloped in his works, and it makes thestudy <strong>of</strong> those characters fruitful andproductive.The legal system — and its authority— is based on the ideal that a justsystem <strong>of</strong> procedural and substantive lawexists, and that this system is capable <strong>of</strong>yielding justice as long as lawyers andjudges respect it. Should they fail to doso, then injustice and even tragedy willbe the necessary result. This paradigm iswell illustrated in two trials that form asignificant part <strong>of</strong> two Twain tales, TheAdventures <strong>of</strong> Tom Sawyer and PersonalRecollections <strong>of</strong> St. Joan <strong>of</strong> Arc. Unfortunately,these neat, tidy cases are inthe clear minority <strong>of</strong> Twain fiction.However, it is wise to begin reflection onTwain’s legal characters with these “paradigmcases” since they illustrate the waythings should be.In The Adventures <strong>of</strong> Tom Sawyer,Twain presents the case <strong>of</strong> Muff Potter,an innocent man unjustly accused <strong>of</strong>murder. Careful analysis <strong>of</strong> the conduct<strong>of</strong> the lawyers and the judge in MuffPotter’s trial reveals behavior that ishonorable, intelligent, and pr<strong>of</strong>essional.The result is a just one: the innocentPotter is released and the identity <strong>of</strong> thetrue killer is disclosed. This is a verdict<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 23


L A W Y E R S I N L I T E R A T U R Ein which the legal pr<strong>of</strong>ession can takepride because in this tale, judges andlawyers act honorably and competently,and achieve honorable and just results.In contrast, however, in The PersonalRecollections <strong>of</strong> St. Joan <strong>of</strong> Arc, Twain presentsPierre Cauchon, who presided overthe heresy trial <strong>of</strong> St. Joan in an underhanded,deceitful, and corrupt way. Theresult <strong>of</strong> his treachery was young Joan’sunjust conviction and brutal execution.Although reprehensible as a moral matter,this trial actually casts the work <strong>of</strong>judges and lawyers in a favorable light.The message implicit in reviewingCauchon’s conduct and its outcome isthat the injustice to St. Joan was theresult <strong>of</strong> an evil judge’s machinations andthe rest <strong>of</strong> Twain’s legal presentations,the link between respecting legal rulesand achieving justice is not as neat.Instead, Twain’s judges and lawyers <strong>of</strong>tenachieve true justice only when they arewilling to abandon legal rules whilethose who do cling to rules and followcorrect legal processes <strong>of</strong>ten end up participatingin miscarriages <strong>of</strong> justice.Twain presents many scenarios in whicha just result is achieved only by departingfrom the rule <strong>of</strong> law. Conversely, some <strong>of</strong>the law’s most devoted followers advancetragic injustice through careful adherenceto the strict letter <strong>of</strong> the law.For example, a dubious legal transactiondescribed in the early pages <strong>of</strong>“The transfer <strong>of</strong> the funds from Huck to JudgeThatcher prevented them from falling into the hands<strong>of</strong> a cruel, undeserving man who would dissipatethem for his own ends. Judge Thatcher knew this,and perceptively read between the lines when Hucktold him the scant details about the problem.”Embossed book cover illustrationdepicting Huck, Tom Sawyer's friend,from The Adventures <strong>of</strong> Huckleberry Finn.Joan’s lack <strong>of</strong> an attorney to protect herand save her life. Thus, ironically, St.Joan is quite consistent with Tom Sawyer.Together they stand for the propositionthat the outcome <strong>of</strong> the legal process isconsistent with the conduct <strong>of</strong> its <strong>of</strong>ficers,and that attorneys and judges willachieve just outcomes if they act in goodfaith and in compliance with the letter <strong>of</strong>the law. Likewise, their failure to doso will, as St. Joan illustrates, lead todisastrous results.However, Twain’s presentation <strong>of</strong>legal actors is far more complex thanthese two paradigms suggest. The morecomplex and disturbing reality is that inHuckleberry Finn well illustrates thedichotomy between achieving justiceand the means used by Twain’s charactersto accomplish that end. As the novelbegins, Huck Finn possessed $3,000 — alarge sum for a young boy. However,Huck correctly assumed that his abusivefather would try to force him to surrenderthe money so that it could be spentfor unsavory purposes.Huck’s first reaction was to run toJudge Thatcher, who was not only alegal authority but also the custodian <strong>of</strong>his funds. The frightened boy and theclever judge entered into a transactionwhereby the judge agreed to purchaseHuck’s property for one dollar.This odd conveyance helped attaina just result. Huck’s instincts were right.His father later did try to obtain themoney but could not do so becauseHuck no longer legally possessed it. Thetransfer <strong>of</strong> the funds from Huck to JudgeThatcher prevented them from fallinginto the hands <strong>of</strong> a cruel, undeservingman who would dissipate them for hisown ends. Judge Thatcher knew this,and perceptively read between the lineswhen Huck told him the scant detailsabout the problem.Hence, Judge Thatcher’s actionsachieved a result that most would deemjust. However, a brief examination <strong>of</strong> thetransaction reveals a disturbing array<strong>of</strong> legal violations. Judge Thatcherwas holding funds for a minor child.He transferred them to himself,which immediately raises the specter <strong>of</strong>self-dealing. Furthermore, the considerationfor the transaction was woefullyinadequate. Exchanging $3,000 for $1 isnot fair payment. Thus, not only wasJudge Thatcher, the guardian, self-dealing,but he also self-dealt to the tune <strong>of</strong>a $2,999 pr<strong>of</strong>it. In reply, it could beargued that, obviously, Judge Thatcherdid not intend to keep the money butonly intended to shield Huck from hisfather’s monetary demands. Yet, if this istrue, then the alleged exchange is nothingbut a fraudulent transaction — itselfa questionable action. While most wouldargue that the result is just, the shadymeans used to achieve that resultare problematic. Nevertheless, in thecircumstances, it appears that violatinglegal rules was the only possible way toachieve this substantively just result.Similarly, in The Prince and thePauper, another judge seeking protectionfor a child broke fundamental legal rules24<strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>


L A W Y E R S I N L I T E R A T U R Eto achieve a just conclusion. A child —the starving prince disguised as a pauper— fell on hard times and stole a pig. Thepig’s owner brought the child before acourt, charging him with theft. At trial,the owner testified as to the pig’s worth.The judge then informed her thatbecause <strong>of</strong> the animal’s high value, thelaw required that the young thief behung. Horrified, the woman asked howshe could prevent this tragic outcome.The judge not-too-subtly advised her tochange her testimony as to the pig’s truevalue. She readily perjured herself tosave the boy’s life.As a result, the prince’s penalty wasmuch milder, far more in keeping withthe nature <strong>of</strong> his <strong>of</strong>fense. Most wouldagree that hanging a hungry child forstealing a mere pig is cruelly excessive.The judge knew this. Yet, the way heavoided this result was by convincing thewitness to perjure herself and condoningher when she did. Honesty before legaltribunals is a well-respected foundation<strong>of</strong> any legal system whose courts endeavorto search for truth. Yet, here, themerciful judge realized that only bysanctioning the sin <strong>of</strong> deception couldhe save the life <strong>of</strong> the young thief.Thus, in these two scenarios —among others — Twain allowed fairresults to spring from the actions <strong>of</strong>lawyers and judges who disregardedlegal rules. In contrast, in some moreunfortunate examples, Twain allowedcompliance with the law to result in, oreven cause, greatly unjust results.“They…keep inside <strong>of</strong> the letter <strong>of</strong> thelaw all the time, and there ain’t no way togit hold <strong>of</strong> them.” So said Huck Finn, inTom Sawyer Abroad when he observed anunrepentant swindler who continuallyescaped punishment by exploiting theintricacies <strong>of</strong> the law. Huck understoodin his simple way that compliancewith legal rules is not always synonymouswith achieving a just result. Huck’screator, Twain, felt the same way.For example, in stark contrast to themercy shown to the pig stealer in ThePrince and the Pauper, an impoverishedcloth stealer in A Connecticut Yankee inKing Arthur’s Court did not fare so well.In Connecticut Yankee, a young womanwith an infant was sentenced to diebecause she stole a piece <strong>of</strong> cloth in adesperate attempt to provide for herselfand her starving child. The eighteenyear-oldwas impoverished because, bylaw, the husband who had been supportingher and their baby was inscripted togo to sea, taking from her the family’sonly means <strong>of</strong> financial support.The young mother’s trial was conductedin full compliance with applicablerules and according to an orderlyprocess. The judge and the prosecuting<strong>of</strong>ficers had a healthy respect for law,and they followed it dutifully — withdreadful results. The owner <strong>of</strong> the stolencloth testified, the accused spoke in herown defense, and there is every indicationthat all the required formalitieswere followed.As was true in the stolen pig case,the owner <strong>of</strong> the cloth was horrifiedto learn the deadly consequence <strong>of</strong> hisdecision to bring the case to trial. Unlikethat case, however, the unjust result wasnot altered by allowing unsanctioneddeparture from the clear rule <strong>of</strong> law.The value <strong>of</strong> law as a safeguard for publicorder was solemnly intoned, andrespect for law was highly praised. As aresult <strong>of</strong> this respect — indeed, because<strong>of</strong> it — the starving young woman wasexecuted for her petty theft, andher infant was left motherless. Thepriest who comforted this unfortunatethief at the gallows and into whose careshe gave her child lamented, “<strong>Law</strong> isintended to mete out justice. Sometimesit fails. This cannot be helped. Wecan only grieve and be resigned, andpray for the soul <strong>of</strong> him who falls unfairlyby the arm <strong>of</strong> the law, and that hisfellows may be few.” Thus, ConnecticutYankee leaves readers with a perfectlywell-conducted trial that, in the interest<strong>of</strong> complying with the law, yieldedan inherently unjust result about whichreaders can only “grieve and beresigned.”In yet another example <strong>of</strong> misguidedrespect for the law in the same novel,the Yankee encountered his fellowhumans held in the bonds <strong>of</strong> slavery.Justice would have required defying thelaw that held them bound and appealingto the higher order <strong>of</strong> objective justice toloose those bonds. However, the Yankeefollowed the unjust human law to theletter. He reasoned, “I wanted to stopthe whole thing and set the slaves free,but that would not do. I must not interferetoo much and get myself a name forriding over the country’s law and the citizen’srights roughshod.” Thus, again,Connecticut Yankee allowed legal rules tobe followed perfectly, at the expense <strong>of</strong>real justice.What conclusions, then, can bedrawn from this? Twain’s work suggests— disturbingly — that there is a dichotomybetween following the law andachieving just results.In his Autobiography, Twain mused,"I couldn’t call to mind a written law <strong>of</strong>any kind that had been promulgated inany age…that…wasn’t a violation <strong>of</strong> thelaw <strong>of</strong> Nature, which I regarded as thehighest <strong>of</strong> laws, the most peremptoryand absolute <strong>of</strong> all laws — Nature’s lawsbeing in my belief plainly and simply thelaws <strong>of</strong> God, since He instituted them,He and no other, and the said laws, byauthority <strong>of</strong> this divine origin, takingprecedence <strong>of</strong> all the statutes <strong>of</strong> man."Alas, this quote illustrates Twain’s <strong>of</strong>texpressedopinion that human law — inits substance and in its execution — doesnot always conform to moral notions <strong>of</strong>true, absolute justice. The disjunctionbetween the quality <strong>of</strong> conduct byTwain’s legal characters and the quality<strong>of</strong> the justice they achieve is striking. Itinvites today’s legal analysts to reflectcarefully on the quality <strong>of</strong> the justice system,the roles played by the actors whoparticipate in it, and those things that areessential to ensuring that the legal systemis able to lead directly to just results.First, Twain’s depictions <strong>of</strong> judgesand lawyers caution against giving excessivesway to the power <strong>of</strong> public opinion.<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 25


L A W Y E R S I N L I T E R A T U R E“…Twain’s <strong>of</strong>t-expressed opinion that human law — in its substance and in itsexecution — does not always conform to moral notions <strong>of</strong> true, absolute justice.”Often, when the justice system fails inTwain’s fiction it is because the weight <strong>of</strong>emotional public opinion outweighs thecalm, rational search for truth. A democraticsociety prides itself — and, <strong>of</strong>ten,correctly so — on being ruled by theexpressed will <strong>of</strong> the majority. In its positivelight, this protects the public fromtyranny by a powerful minority bent onexerting unjust influence. It ensures that"the many" rather than merely "the few"have a say in public affairs.Yet, Twain warns that the legal systemcan be tyrannized by the majority aswell. Indeed, in many <strong>of</strong> Twain’s works,"the public" or "the townspeople" seemto be characters in their own right whoexert great influence over the legal systemand <strong>of</strong>ten urge it toward ignobleconclusions. For justice to triumph,Twain suggests that the power <strong>of</strong> thenameless, faceless "crowd" be limitedlest it overpower a legal system that can<strong>of</strong>ten only perform justly when it resistspopular pressure. This is not to suggestthat the majority is always wrong or villainous.However, the worst <strong>of</strong> Twain’soutcomes <strong>of</strong>ten occur when the majorityis not resisted by the guardians <strong>of</strong> justicebecause those very guardians desire towin approval more than they desire todo justice.In a more blatant critique, Twainalso urges vigilance against legal actors— particularly judges — who are influencedby direct financial or personalinterest in the outcome <strong>of</strong> their cases.This undercurrent in many <strong>of</strong> Twain’stales parallels much <strong>of</strong> the self-interesthe observed in his real-life observations<strong>of</strong> the legal system. Twain provides nosuggestions as to how this problem is tobe avoided. However, he alerts his readersto the dangers <strong>of</strong> a justice systemadministered by those whose vision maybe clouded by self-interest. Twainunderstood, all too well, that those in thepositions <strong>of</strong> authority are <strong>of</strong>ten thosesubject to the most serious temptations.These temptations — for money, influence,praise, or position — can overpowerwhat might be an underlying desire todo good. These temptations troubledTwain and are a strong caution formodern times.Twain’s fiction also warns againstlegal systems based entirely on law withno provision for equity. Often, Twain’scharacters — particularly his judges —pursue unjust results because the lawsthemselves leave no possibility for anequitable remedy. Judges are not giventhe power to protect children, to fashiona novel remedy, or to prevent unjustconduct from occurring. This puts legalactors in the position <strong>of</strong> either followingthe law honestly or pursuing justice dishonestlythrough the exercise <strong>of</strong> understandablebut unsanctioned equity. Theformer is a detriment to justice; the latteran affront to the legal system.However, lack <strong>of</strong> equitable remedies liesbehind much <strong>of</strong> the injustice Twain portraysand demonstrates how a legal systemdevoid <strong>of</strong> equity is virtually pre-programmedeither for injustice or evasion<strong>of</strong> legal rules.Relatedly, Twain’s legal characters— and the consequences <strong>of</strong> their actions— make a strong case for the value <strong>of</strong>discretion in sentencing those whoadmittedly break the law. All too <strong>of</strong>ten,Twain confronts his readers with circumstancesin which there is an admittedor proven violation. However, theprescribed punishment is <strong>of</strong>ten so gravethat no fair outcome is possible. To findthe honest verdict <strong>of</strong> "guilty" would leadto a penalty that far exceeds the seriousness<strong>of</strong> the crime. Yet, to administer afair penalty would require dishonesty inthe pronouncement <strong>of</strong> guilt. Facedwith two unattractive options, theparticipants in the legal system mustchoose between justice and legality,because there is no honest, open, oreffective way to pursue both and balancejustice with mercy.Finally, and most passionately,Twain’s characters and their actionsplead with readers to consider the objectivejustice <strong>of</strong> the substantive law thatjudges and lawyers are asked to serve.Regardless <strong>of</strong> whether the legal processis sound or flawed, judges and lawyersare incapable <strong>of</strong> both following legalrules and achieving just results if theunderlying legal rules are not just.Judges and lawyers are charged withimplementing laws. To the extent thatthose laws are just, there is no conflictbetween the pursuit <strong>of</strong> the law and thepursuit <strong>of</strong> justice. However, a law that isunjust, immoral or unwise places lawyersand judges in the unenviable position <strong>of</strong>irreconcilable conflict. This realityshould challenge all those who careabout the way in which the legal systemadvances or threatens justice to careeven more about the morality <strong>of</strong> theunderlying laws that they ask theirjudges and lawyers to administer.Mark Twain lived through andduring an era plagued by laws thatrequired or openly condoned injustice.Alas, the same criticism can be made <strong>of</strong>nearly every time and place. Because thelaw is the most human <strong>of</strong> institutions, itis all too <strong>of</strong>ten tainted by the mosthuman <strong>of</strong> flaws. Twain’s writings should,if anything, inspire his readers to examinethe rules under which their legalregimes labor, and to be vigilant inensuring that there is nothing in themthat could make the pursuit <strong>of</strong> law andthe pursuit <strong>of</strong> justice conflicting goals.In Twain’s The Gilded Age, an innocent,well-meaning character, Philip,remarked that "neither he nor anycitizen had a right to consult his ownfeelings or conscience in a case where alaw <strong>of</strong> the land had been violated beforehis own eyes." Yet, Twain’s true messageis the complete opposite <strong>of</strong> Philip’sreasoning. His fiction warns that indeed,it is only in consulting the consciencethat the morality <strong>of</strong> law can bestbe ascertained.26<strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>


M Y T A K EThe Moral Flawin the Pro-Choice PositionEditor’s Note: It remains one <strong>of</strong> the most unsettled issues the Supreme Court has ever decided. Thirty years after Roe v.

MarcinPr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>The Catholic University <strong>of</strong> AmericaPro-choice arguments are <strong>of</strong>ten made from several different vantagepoints. Some pro-choice advocates openly and unapologeticallyargue that they themselves favor the pro-choice position, and theydefend it absolutely and straightforwardly. Others, perhaps most <strong>of</strong> those wh<strong>of</strong>avor the pro-choice position, admit that the choice to abort the developing life<strong>of</strong> a fetus is always or almost always a tragic choice, but they argue that thechoice can be justified morally. Still others adorn themselves with the nowfamiliarmantra, “I’m personally opposed to abortion, but I don’t feel I have theright to impose that moral view on those whomight have a different moral perspective onthe issue.” These last will sometimes suggestthat they are pro-life and not prochoicein their positions because <strong>of</strong>their personal opposition, but in terms<strong>of</strong> advocacy, they usually take thepro-choice stance. Many Catholics,wishing to avoid running afoul <strong>of</strong> thedoctrines <strong>of</strong> their Church, but at thesame time wishing to ingratiatethemselves with the politics <strong>of</strong> theday, have adopted this last position.The “I’m personally opposed toabortion, but…” viewpoint sometimesevokes a partially tongue-in-cheekresponse from some pro-life advocates that goessomething like this: “I understand your point.

M Y T A K EJustice Harry Blackmun wrote the majority opinion for one <strong>of</strong> the Supreme Court’smost controversial rulings <strong>of</strong> the 20th century.involved. It is this tongue-in-cheekresponse that raises the theme <strong>of</strong> thisarticle. The tongue-in-cheek-ness <strong>of</strong> theresponse is based on the moral sensitivitythat the hearer would not countenancethe killing <strong>of</strong> an abortionist as amorally appropriate way <strong>of</strong> expressingone’s condemnation <strong>of</strong> what the abortionistdoes.The usual reaction to that tonguein-cheekresponse, however, is a statementto the effect that it is somehowinappropriate to equate the life <strong>of</strong> anabortionist with the life <strong>of</strong> a fetus.Abortionists are fully developed humanbeings. In killing an abortionist, one isundeniably taking a human life, and —so goes the response — not so withrespect to the killing <strong>of</strong> a fetus.Abortion-rights advocates <strong>of</strong>ten arguethat fetuses are not human beings, thatthe “taking” <strong>of</strong> a fetus is not the taking <strong>of</strong>a human life, and they <strong>of</strong>ten cite thelandmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision asestablishing the legal if not biologicalfact that fetuses are not human beingsand do not possess human life. It <strong>of</strong>tensurprises the public to learn that theSupreme Court, in its landmark Roe v.Wade decision, quite clearly did not rulethat fetuses are not human beings. Itactually recognized that the propositionwas debatable, declared its own inabilityto resolve the debate, and ruled that,human or not, fetuses are not “persons”within the meaning <strong>of</strong> the protectionsafforded “persons” under the Constitution.The following quote fromJustice Blackmun’s majority opinionin Roe v. Wade followed his reference tothe State <strong>of</strong> Texas’s argument thathuman life begins at conception.Blackmun wrote:We need not resolve the difficultquestion <strong>of</strong> when life begins. Whenthose trained in the respective disciplines<strong>of</strong> medicine, philosophy, andtheology are unable to arrive at anyconsensus, the judiciary, at thispoint in the development <strong>of</strong> man’sknowledge, is not in a position tospeculate as to the answer.A bit later on in the opinion, however,he drew the conclusion that “we donot agree that, by adopting one theory <strong>of</strong>life, Texas may override the rights <strong>of</strong> thepregnant woman that are at stake.”Some have considered this to be thegreat moral flaw in the Roe opinion —the fact that, after having admitted anhonest doubt as to whether a fetus is ahuman being, and indeed having admittedan inability to resolve that doubt, theSupreme Court went on to implicitlyresolve that supposedly unresolvabledoubt against humanness rather than infavor <strong>of</strong> it. It is here that one finds thegreat ethical flaw in the Supreme Court’sapproach. It may be called the “honestdoubt” principle. The great moral flaw isthat the Supreme Court failed to adhereto the basic moral insight that if there isan honest doubt as to whether a given entityis a human being, any truly humane andcivilized society would and should resolvethat doubt in favor <strong>of</strong> humanness ratherthan against it.To be fair to Justice Blackmun andthe six other justices who agreed withhim, the majority opinion in Roe v. Wadetechnically hinged the human-life questionnot directly on that supposedly unresolvabledoubt as to whether a fetuspossesses human life, but rather on thetechnical meaning <strong>of</strong> the word “person”in the Constitution. The rights to life —there are two <strong>of</strong> them in the Constitution,one in the Fifth Amendmentbinding the federal government and onein the Fourteenth binding the states(parenthetically, there is no right to “privacy”or “personal autonomy” anywherein the text <strong>of</strong> the Constitution) — onlyinure to “persons,” and so the majorityopinion ultimately focused on the question<strong>of</strong> whether a fetus can be considereda “person.” Justice Blackmun put theissue quite clearly:The appellee [i.e., the State <strong>of</strong>Texas] and certain amici argue thatthe fetus is a “person” within thelanguage and meaning <strong>of</strong> theFourteenth Amendment. In support<strong>of</strong> this, they outline at lengthand in detail the well-known facts<strong>of</strong> fetal development. If this suggestion<strong>of</strong> personhood is established, theappellant’s case, <strong>of</strong> course, collapses, forthe fetus’ right to life would then beguaranteed specifically by the amendment.(Emphasis added.)Justice Blackmun then went on tolist every usage <strong>of</strong> the word “person” inthe Constitution, and drew the conclusionthat none <strong>of</strong> those usages — andthese are Blackmun’s words — “indicates,with any assurance, that it has anypossible pre-natal application.” (Emphasisadded.) Some may see, in thathedging expression “with any assurance”an element <strong>of</strong> doubt, raising again the“honest doubt” principle — the basicmoral insight that if there is an honestdoubt as to whether a given entity possesses“personhood” any truly humane andcivilized society would and should resolve28<strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>

On that issue, Chief JusticeTaney actually held that blacks (slave orfree) could not be considered “citizens”because they could not be considered“people” within the meaning <strong>of</strong> thatword “people” in the Constitution.These are Taney’s words:[N]either the class <strong>of</strong> persons whohad been imported as slaves, northeir descendants, whether theyhad become free or not, were thenacknowledged as part <strong>of</strong> the people,nor intended to be included inthe general words used in thatmemorable instrument [i.e., theConstitution].

At thevery worst, the “honest doubt” sensitivityshould have suggested itself to Taney,and — so the criticism goes — he shouldhave resolved that honest doubt in favor<strong>of</strong> personhood or “peoplehood” forblacks. Cowed, perhaps, by the “political-correctness”intimidation <strong>of</strong> his ownday, Taney ruled that not even freeblacks could be considered “people”within the meaning <strong>of</strong> the Constitution.It may be <strong>of</strong> interest to note thatwhen Justice Blackmun, in his Roe v.Wade majority opinion, listed everyusage <strong>of</strong> the word “person” in theConstitution (before concluding thatnone <strong>of</strong> those usages “indicates, with anyassurance, that it has any possible pre-natalapplication”), he actually neglectedone usage — a usage that happened,ironically, to be the one seized upon acentury earlier by Chief Justice Taney.Justice Blackmun did indeed find everyinstance in which the exact word “person”appeared, but he neglected onevariant <strong>of</strong> the plural form <strong>of</strong> that word“person” — the word “people”. Theword “people” is found in the wellknownand <strong>of</strong>t-memorized Preamble tothe Constitution:We the People <strong>of</strong> the United States,in Order to…secure the Blessings<strong>of</strong> Liberty to ourselves and ourPosterity, do ordain and establishthis Constitution <strong>of</strong> the UnitedStates <strong>of</strong> America. (Emphasisadded.)The Preamble thus contains a clearindication that those who framed theshould be the one adopted,according to the intent <strong>of</strong> the framers.The right to life should be regarded as ablessing <strong>of</strong> liberty secured to yet-to-bebornposterity. The argument that afetus might be a member <strong>of</strong> “posterity”first appeared in James Joseph Lynch,Jr., Abortion and Inalienable Rights inAmerican Jurisprudence: A ProspectivePolicy (1987). The point here is that notonly the “honest doubt” principle, butalso the very text <strong>of</strong> the Constitutionitself supports the pro-life interpretiveapproach.Where has this great moral flaw inthe Roe opinion led us? In the context <strong>of</strong>the abortion debate in the decadesfollowing Roe, the world’s set <strong>of</strong> valueshas for some time now, and for unfathomablereasons, awarded “sensitivity” tothose who favor abortion rights, anddenied it to those who favor protectingthe lives <strong>of</strong> pre-birth children. There is,undoubtedly, sensitivity in the prochoiceposition, and each <strong>of</strong> thepro-choice vantage points mentioned atthe beginning <strong>of</strong> this article may give itsadherent some measure <strong>of</strong> comfort —from the comfort derived from theunblinking zeal <strong>of</strong> the pro-choiceabsolutist to the comfort derived froman honest pro-choice admission <strong>of</strong><strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 29


M Y T A K Ethe tragedy and perhaps horror thataccompanies the recognition <strong>of</strong> whatabortion truly is. Many pro-choice advocatesare now opting for one version oranother <strong>of</strong> the latter vantage point — anhonest recognition <strong>of</strong> what an abortiontruly involves.It is recently, and principally in thecontext <strong>of</strong> the national debate over partial-birthabortion, that even worldlysensitivity is being recognized on thepro-life side <strong>of</strong> the ledger. Partial-birthabortions are not only horrible to contemplate,we are beginning to sense thatthey are very likely horribly painful tothe all-but-completely-born child. Researchpublished in the prestigiousBritish medical journal, The Lancet,in 1994, concluded that at some timeduring the second trimester humanfetuses exhibit all the physiological indicationsthat would justify a finding <strong>of</strong>pain in a newborn baby. The articleended with a humane but somewhatstartling suggestion:Just as physicians now provideneonates with adequate analgesia,our findings suggest that thosedealing with the fetus should considermaking similar modificationsto their practice. This applies notjust to diagnostic and therapeuticprocedures on the fetus, but possiblyalso to termination <strong>of</strong> pregnancy,especially by surgical techniquesinvolving dismemberment.The technical language <strong>of</strong> sciencesometimes masks the horror <strong>of</strong> a reality:Fetal children in the womb feel pain(surely one must be alive in order to feelpain), and physicians should consideranaesthetizing them whenever they dismemberthem — alive — in the womb.According to the British MedicalJournal, the neuro-anatomical structuresthat are needed in order to “feel” pain,i.e., the thalamus and the motor nervesthat send a message to the base <strong>of</strong> thebrain, are present in the fetus by theeighth week <strong>of</strong> pregnancy. Some physicians,however, say that the fetus, at theeighth week, would not be capable <strong>of</strong>Thousands <strong>of</strong> anti-abortion demonstratorsprotest outside the Capitol on thethird anniversary <strong>of</strong> the Supreme Court's1973 decision liberalizing accessto legal abortion.experiencing what adult human beingsperceive as pain, because the nerve connectionsbetween the thalamus and thecerebral cortex are not developedenough until the twenty-sixth week <strong>of</strong>pregnancy. Other physicians disagree,and some would place the onset <strong>of</strong> thepain experience as early as that eighthweek, arguing that the cortex is notinvolved in the experience <strong>of</strong> pain.It should be clear by now that the“honest-doubt” principle ought to applyto the issue <strong>of</strong> fetal pain. Even if there isonly an honest doubt as to whether a child inthe womb feels pain (and The Lancet’s findingscertainly place the issue in at leastthe area <strong>of</strong> honest doubt), any trulyhumane and civilized society would andshould resolve that doubt in favor <strong>of</strong> the thesisthat fetuses do feel pain.It is sometimes argued, however,that anesthesia administered to themother during the abortion procedurealso anesthetizes the baby. This argumentcame up prominently during theearly debates over the federal proposalto ban partial-birth abortions, and wasjust as prominently refuted. Dr. Jean A.Wright, Associate Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Pediatricsand Anesthesia at EmoryUniversity’s <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Medicine, testifiedthat “local anesthetics rarely haveany effect on the fetus,” and went on toexplain:The administration <strong>of</strong> intravenoussedation/anesthesia has minimaleffects on the unborn due to twomechanisms: 1) The mother’s liverclears much <strong>of</strong> the drug, and 2) thedrug must cross from the mother’sblood stream into the placentabefore reaching the fetus.It is difficult to argue that the abortiontechniques currently in use do notinvolve pain — unspeakable pain if thechild indeed feels it. Even pro-abortionadvocates seem to be recognizing it,albeit grudgingly. Pro-choice activistNaomi Wolf wrote in an issue <strong>of</strong> TheNew Republic several years ago, thatfeminism at its best is based onwhat is simply true.…Whileimages <strong>of</strong> violent fetal death workmagnificently for pro-lifers aspolitical polemic, the pictures arenot polemical in themselves: theyare biological facts. We knowthis.…To insist that the truth is inpoor taste is the very height <strong>of</strong>hypocrisy.A self-proclaimed pro-choice physicianin Great Britain, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor VivetteGlover <strong>of</strong> the Queen Charlotte andChelsea Hospital in London, saidrecently:Between seventeen and twenty-six[weeks] it is increasingly possiblethat [the fetus] starts to feel somethingand that abortions done inthat period ought to use anesthesia.Back in 1984, after PresidentReagan had made the statement publiclythat fetuses <strong>of</strong>ten feel pain during abortionprocedures, the reaction from thepro-choice community was, predictably,derisively dismissive. In response to thatderisively dismissive reaction, twenty-sixpr<strong>of</strong>essors and practitioners <strong>of</strong> obstetrics,gynecology, fetal medicine, and30<strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>

The point is thatthere is an honest doubt, and the oddlyinexplicable thing about the influence <strong>of</strong>the pro-choice movement on our society’sapproach to the question <strong>of</strong> fetalpain has been that our society hasresolved that honest doubt against theconclusion that fetuses can feel pain atany point in the pregnancy, up to andincluding the nearly full-term partialbirthabortions, and has therebyconsigned millions <strong>of</strong> mid- and lateterminfants to the very real possibility<strong>of</strong> unimaginable pain.Abortion methods may be distastefulto our sensibilities, but they are biologicalfacts, and they must be examinedif the morally important questions <strong>of</strong>fetal pain and fetal personhood are to beProtesters take part in the annual March forLife, marking the 30th Anniversary <strong>of</strong> the1973 Supreme Court Decision Roe v.

(2) The dilation-and-curettagemethod (D & C), also used during thefirst trimester, and again most <strong>of</strong>ten at orafter the eighth week, involves cuttingthe baby’s body into pieces with a loopshapedsteel knife, and scraping the bodyparts into a basin. (3) The RU 486method, also used during the firsttrimester, involves the ingestion <strong>of</strong> twosynthetic hormones which blockthe action <strong>of</strong> the natural hormone thatprovides nutrients to the lining <strong>of</strong> theuterus, thus starving the fetus, andthen the induction <strong>of</strong> labor and theexpulsion <strong>of</strong> the fetus from two to fivedays later. (4) The Methrotrexate procedureis similar to the RU 486 method,except that the synthetic hormones areinjected intramuscularly instead <strong>of</strong> takenin pill form.(5) The dilation-and-evacuation method(D & E), commonly used after twelveweeks and up to twenty-four weeks,involves twisting and tearing the baby’sbody parts <strong>of</strong>f with forceps with sharpmetal jaws, snapping the baby’s spine,and crushing her skull for easier evacuation.The fetus dies in the same way thatan adult human being would die, bleedingto death while being torn limb fromlimb. (6) The saline-injection method, orsaline amniocentesis, commonly used aftersixteen weeks and through the thirdtrimester involves the insertion into thebaby’s sac <strong>of</strong> a poisonous, burning solutionand is accompanied by violent fetalkicks and jerks as the baby is burnedalive. (7) The urea and prostaglandinchemical methods, used in the secondand third trimesters, essentially involvethe premature inducement <strong>of</strong> labor andthe delivery and subsequent neglect <strong>of</strong>fetal babies. These methods are in somedisfavor because not infrequently thebaby survives.(8) The partial-birth abortion technique,known medically as dilation andextraction or D & X, is used in late-termabortions (beyond the fifteenth weekand all the way up to the point <strong>of</strong> fulltermbirth) and involves (i) the deliveryinto the open, in the breech position, <strong>of</strong>the legs, arms, and torso <strong>of</strong> the baby (allbut the head), (ii) the stabbing <strong>of</strong> thepoints <strong>of</strong> surgical scissors into the base <strong>of</strong>the skull <strong>of</strong> the all-but-delivered baby,(iii) the insertion <strong>of</strong> a suction device intothe stab hole, (iv) the suction removal <strong>of</strong>the baby’s brain, (v) the crushing <strong>of</strong> theemptied skull, and then (vi) the completion<strong>of</strong> the delivery <strong>of</strong> the corpse <strong>of</strong> thebaby. If the baby herself cannot cry out,this business <strong>of</strong> aborting fetal childrenitself cries out to any sane society formoral review and analysis.Mother Teresa <strong>of</strong> Calcutta oncesaid, with obvious reference to theUnited States (she made the remark at aPresidential Prayer Breakfast in Washington,D.C.):Any country that accepts abortionis not teaching its people to love,but to use any violence to getwhat they want. This is why thegreatest destroyer <strong>of</strong> love andpeace is abortion.The then Surgeon General <strong>of</strong> theUnited States, Joycelyn Elders, verbalizedone <strong>of</strong> the pro-choice movement’sresponses to Mother Teresa:We would like for the right-to-lifeand anti-choice groups to reallyget over their love affair with thefetus.It is perhaps the single greatestmoral judgment on our society that weseem to have adopted Joycelyn Elders’sensitivity in the abortion debate, ratherthan Mother Teresa’s.<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong> / C UALAWYER 31


BEACONS OFExcellenceThe Value <strong>of</strong> ExperienceThe law school's externship program gives studentsskills, understanding and contactsYou cannot create experience. You must undergo it. — Albert CamusEnrollment records confirm thatthe famous French existentialistauthor and philosopher did notreceive a J.D. from the <strong>Columbus</strong><strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> at The CatholicUniversity <strong>of</strong> America,but he may as wellhave. His insight perfectlydescribes the philosophythat animates ascholastic <strong>of</strong>fering likeno other: the lawschool’s Legal Externshipprogram.Each year, nearly250 students — morethan one quarter <strong>of</strong> theschool’s total enrollment— take Nike’sadvertising dictum toheart: they Just Do It.For many years, the <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> has run the largest and mostwell-established legal externshipprogram in the D.C. area; indeed it isone <strong>of</strong> the largest in the country.Through the program, future lawyersearn course credits by working inlaw firms; federal, state and localagencies; the Congress; judicialchambers <strong>of</strong> the federal, state andDistrict <strong>of</strong> Columbia courts; publicinterest organizations; trade associations;and corporations. These arenot the novice experiences <strong>of</strong> a typicalinternship. Although not salaried,students are expected to contributeas near-pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and to conductthemselves as pr<strong>of</strong>essionals at alltimes.

Through externships,students better understandthe scope and nature <strong>of</strong> the practice<strong>of</strong> law. They learn which areas <strong>of</strong> lawappeal to them and which do not.Students build solid legal workplaceskills and develop networks <strong>of</strong> mentorsand colleagues who may contributeto their finding employmentduring summers and after graduation.Extern employers don’t get a baddeal, either. Students come to workprepared, motivated and willing tolearn. Nor does the cost <strong>of</strong> the laborbring a scowl.The overall success <strong>of</strong> CatholicUniversity’s legal externship programhas not escaped attention.

Yet, the history <strong>of</strong> their evolutionhas been a story known to few.Like the WPA historians <strong>of</strong> the 1930s,who fanned across the nation torecord and archive the personal recollections<strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong> Americansinto a sort <strong>of</strong> national oral history,Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Ogilvy has set about preservingthe infancy <strong>of</strong> his own chosenfield in a similar oral history project.Patiently and methodically interviewingthe pioneers <strong>of</strong> the field, he hasassembled a vast array <strong>of</strong> stories andreminisces into a first-<strong>of</strong>-its-kind documentaryfilm, AnOral History <strong>of</strong>Clinical Legal Education:Part One,Seeds <strong>of</strong> Change.Further installmentsare planned.Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Ogilvy’s passion fordelineating the history <strong>of</strong> clinical legaleducation is not the lonely quest <strong>of</strong> anintellectual Don Quixote. On the contrary,the <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>supports the mission in a most concreteway. In the fall <strong>of</strong> 2002, itsJudge Kathryn J. DuFour <strong>Law</strong> Libraryagreed to permanently house the firstnational archive <strong>of</strong> materials and informationrelating to the subject. Thelargest assembly <strong>of</strong> such materials inone place, the new archive collects,catalogs, preserves and makes availableto researchers a treasure trove <strong>of</strong>items that shed light on the earlybeginnings <strong>of</strong> clinical legal education.Scholars can find videotapes, photographs,newspaper clippings, teachermaterials and other sources <strong>of</strong> information,most <strong>of</strong> which will eventuallybe accessible online.If you build it, they will come,preached a popular baseball movie. Itcertainly appears true <strong>of</strong> success inthe field <strong>of</strong> legal externships. <strong>CUA</strong> lawschool’s mastery <strong>of</strong> the subject is acrowd pleaser and a major draw. Atwo-day conference hosted by theschool in early March 2003 drewmore than 125 participants frommore than 75 law schools around theworld. “Externships: Learning FromPractice” lured attendees from China,Hungary and Montenegro. Forty-fivespeakers shared their knowledge <strong>of</strong> awide range <strong>of</strong> issues facing legalexterns everywhere. Topics included:Getting Unstuck — How to ThinkCreatively; Confidentiality; and TheCare and Feeding <strong>of</strong> Mentors.

The lucky advantagefor the <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>student is that such externships donot just nudge them out the classroomdoor with a pat on the back; theextern program itself is run by expertsand is supported by the entire institution.The results speak for themselves.Honored by national rankingsand widely respected among fellowlaw schools, the clinical legaleducation program at The CatholicUniversity <strong>of</strong> America, and its externshipprogram in particular, demonstrateyet again that whether you arerunning an externship program or participatingin one, there is no substitutefor experience.© 2003 ALM Properties, Inc.

Nasr, university pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Islamic Studies, GeorgeWashington University, said the media is largely to blame for fueling inaccurate images <strong>of</strong>Islam as a religion populated by fanatics and jihad-obsessed martyrs. “Many <strong>of</strong> the oldermisperceptions are now threatening to undo 50 years <strong>of</strong> earnest, sincere effort by scholars, theologians and writersacross the various continents to create a better understanding among the children <strong>of</strong> Abraham,” he said.Examining Ethics and a Just SocietyDo we own our own bodies? That startling question defies an easy answer, according to one<strong>of</strong> the sharpest minds in American jurisprudence. The Hon. Guido Calabresi, United StatesCourt <strong>of</strong> Appeals Judge for the Second Circuit and a former dean <strong>of</strong> Yale <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong>, said asmedical technology advances and more body parts are transplantable, the question <strong>of</strong>ownership <strong>of</strong> one’s body may not be as settled as most people think. “I’m not so sure that alaw saying that you don’t own your own body would be unconstitutional,” he declared.Debating America’s Role in the WorldAmerica’s tug <strong>of</strong> war with the United Nations over Iraq last spring is just one example <strong>of</strong>what Yale <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>essor W. Michael Reisman considers a permanent up-and-downrelationship between the United States and various international bodies. During an earlyNovember address, the noted international expert said the United States is simply too powerfulto expect it to not occasionally pursue its own ends. “The most probable future is onein which the United States continues to be paramount and continues to stir controversy inits complex love-hate relationships with international organizations,” he concluded.34<strong>CUA</strong>LAWYER /<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>2004</strong>

And eachyear our Honor Roll recognizes the generosity<strong>of</strong> these individuals, foundations,corporations and law firms who continue to make the<strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong> a priority on their list <strong>of</strong> charitablegiving. This past fiscal year was no different as we acknowledgeand thank those donors who made gifts to the school from May1, 2002, through April 30, 2003.By all accounts, the law school has never been better.Applications are on the rise, programs are expanding and ouralumni continue to do incredible things in all areas <strong>of</strong> the law.We owe a great deal to all <strong>of</strong> you listed on these followingpages who continually support our work and efforts throughyour personal and financial resources.We have made great strides in our fund raising efforts, asreported in the letter by our 2002-03 Annual Fund Chair,Mike Curtin. In addition to our Annual Fund growth indonors and dollars, for the first time ever, there was 100 percentparticipation from <strong>CUA</strong> law school faculty and deans.Students are becoming increasingly interested in raisingfunds for special programs <strong>of</strong> interest, most notably for theLoan Repayment Assistance Program. This past year, severalstudent organizations jointly sponsored a successful golf tournamentto raise funds to support this effort. This year alsomarked the first time in several years that the graduating studentsraised dollars for a Class Gift. These combined effortstotaled close to $15,000, which will all support an anticipatedLRAP program.We also worked with a group <strong>of</strong> alumni in establishing theArthur John Keeffe Memorial Scholarship Fund. A wine tastingwas held at the home <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> our local graduates inPotomac, Md., to raise funds for this special law school initiative.Our goal is to make this an annual event until the scholarshipis fully endowed.All <strong>of</strong> these are small steps in our process to engage ouralumni and friends in the life <strong>of</strong> <strong>CUA</strong> and increase donors anddollars in support <strong>of</strong> the many and varied needs <strong>of</strong> the school.We continue to be thankful for all <strong>of</strong> you, and we look forwardto your continued support and participation in the life <strong>of</strong> theschool in the months and years ahead.Dear Alumni and Friends,Now that my tenure as Annual FundChair has come to a close, I want to take thisopportunity to thank you for your outstandinggenerosity to The Catholic University<strong>of</strong> America <strong>Columbus</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Law</strong>.Throughout the past two fiscal years, I havehad the good fortune <strong>of</strong> watching the <strong>Law</strong><strong>School</strong> Annual Fund grow significantly.Within this past fiscal year alone we generated a 35 percentincrease in unrestricted revenue. An increase in alumni participationenabled the law school to raise more than $300,000through the Annual Fund while also securing an additional 327donors. Overall, the law school raised close to $1 million withmore than 1,400 donors. This financial support assists theschool in providing student scholarships, faculty research,library resources, IT enhancements and other areas <strong>of</strong> neededfunding.Many friendships were created or renewed during thispast year as a result <strong>of</strong> our conscious effort in expanding ourlocal and regional alumni chapters, as well as enhancing ourdevelopment efforts. A number <strong>of</strong> you have graciously hosted<strong>CUA</strong> alumni and students at your firms and/or attended many<strong>of</strong> our special events.
