Message from the DeanWe are proud of ourhistory and traditions,but the future is alwayson our minds.This September we kicked off Iowa Inspired: The Campaign for Iowa Law withan ambitious goal to raise $50 million by our 150 th anniversary in 2015. The conversationthat evening and in the months that followed prompted many reflections onhow Iowa Law has inspired students, alumni, faculty and staff.For more than fifty years, many of us have been inspired by Professor ArthurBonfield, the Allan D. Vestal Chair and Associate Dean for Research, and by JosephF. Rosenfield Professor and Dean Emeritus N. William Hines. Their commitmentand contributions to Iowa Law have shaped this institution in so many ways. Ourworld-class law library could easily be named The House that Bonfield Built. TheBoyd Law Building, the majority of our faculty, and many of our staff members arehere because Dean Hines recruited them. The generations of Iowa Law have benefittedimmeasurably from their vision, leadership and dedication. While the record onwhich of them arrived first is still inconclusive, the record is very clear that they haveboth earned their unofficial titles as legends of Iowa Law.Today’s and tomorrow’s students along with many of our long-time facultymembers are finding inspiration in the newest members of our faculty who bringcreative ideas and great energy to their classrooms and to the intellectual life of thelaw school. As you will read in the pages that follow, we celebrated the life and workof the late Professor David Baldus in October 2011. Although Dave is irreplaceable,we take comfort from knowing that he had a hand in naming the next generationof criminal law professors, Emily Hughes and Song Richardson. They were visitorsto our faculty while Dave was still with us, and he enthusiastically supported addingthem to our faculty ranks. We are grateful that they and the other new faculty membersyou will read more about in this issue were inspired to help us ensure the futureof Iowa Law.We are proud of our history and traditions, but the future is always on our minds.This year, Iowa Law is engaged in a year-long self-study and strategic planning toprepare for our re-accreditation site visit in Spring 2014. Our self-study committee,chaired by Professor and Associate Dean Marcella David, is hard at work examiningtrends in legal education and the legal marketplace and preparing recommendationsfor the faculty for future directions of legal education at the Iowa College of law.The committee receives regular input from a distinguished group of lawyers, businessleaders, and jurists who agreed to serve as the dean’s advisory committee onlegal education and the legal profession. A frequent theme is the need to prepareour students for success on the diverse paths their professional lives might take in arapidly changing legal profession. They should not have to look beyond the careerachievements of the 10,000 living Iowa law alumni for inspiration.In this New Year, I invite you to think about how Iowa Law inspired you. I knowthat it has.How has Iowa Inspired you?Please share your Iowa Inspired statements and stories with us.Submit to Jill De Young, 290 BLB, Iowa City, IA 52242, jill-deyoung@uiowa.edu2 Iowa Advocate 2013

FEATUREGenerations“Once I knew I wanted law school,Iowa was a favorite.It makes me proud and happy to earnmy degree on the same campus as my dad,grandfather, and great-grandfather.”— Chris Beckman, ’14There is a reason that we rarely,if ever, meet someone whose life hasfollowed a single, simple path. Life iscomplicated and our path is determinedby the choices we make along the way.The routes to law school are as variedas the individuals on them. As we get toknow our students, we wanted to knowwhat brought some of them to Iowa Law.And, of course, we wondered how theIowa Law community, as well as friendsand family, support their efforts. Here issome of what we learned.CChris Beckman, ’14, comesfrom a family with a long line ofpracticing attorneys, so you mightthink he had always planned tobecome a fourth-generation lawyer.In fact, it had never been his plan.“I left for college looking topursue my own interests. I really didnot expect to become interested inlaw,” says Chris. As an undergraduateat Iowa, Chris earned a bachelorof fine arts in photography andjournalism.When Chris was completing aphotography internship at the Universityof Iowa Foundation, he wasasked to help find and install a pieceof software to catalog the organization’sphotographs and respectivecopyrights.“After we decided upon thesoftware we wanted, I was impressedwith how skillfully the Universityof Iowa Foundation’s lawyer wasable to negotiate the contract forpurchasing the software,” says Chris.“Later, when I asked her about herwork, she told me that it gave her asense of pride to be able to use herlegal education to help fund highereducation.”The University of Iowa College of Law 3

GenerationsWhen he saw firsthand how an attorneycan make a difference, Chris decidedthat he wanted to pursue a law degree.“Once I knew I wanted law school,Iowa was a favorite. It makes me proudand happy to earn my degree on thesame campus as my dad, grandfather,and great-grandfather,” says Chris.Chris benefits from his built-in supportsystem. His father, David Beckman,’76, is on hand for immediate advice,and can answer many of Chris’s questionsabout his law studies, often sharingadvice from his father and grandfatherto help Chris along. “It is wonderfulthat he is continuing the tradition, butit is more important that this is what hewants to do. He should not be bound bytradition,” says David.Like his son, Chris, David also hadlittle interest in law initially. His interestswere in science and math, which led himto pursue an undergraduate degree inengineering at Iowa.“I was an engineering intern workingat Collins Radio when I talked to myfather for the first time about going tolaw school. I thought he would say dropout of engineering and take political science,”says David.But his father, Richard Beckman,’38,told David to finish his engineeringdegree, take accounting, and then enrollin law school.When he began at Iowa law, Davidremembers having the same feeling of historyas Chris, walking in the same steps ashis father and grandfather. David’s fatherprovided plenty of encouragement alongthe way and became a sounding boardfor questions and concerns. After Davidgraduated from law school, he joined thefamily firm in Burlington, Iowa, wherehe practiced with his father for 17 yearsuntil his father’s death. Now, he runs thefamily firm practicing primarily in theareas of wills, trusts, estate planning, andprobate law.CChad Graham, ’14, also benefitsfrom support and guidance that isclose to home. His first introductionto law school came while he waspursuing his undergraduate degree inmusic and his brother, Brad Graham,’00, was earning his law degree fromIowa. Chad was interested, but hewas pursuing another dream, to singprofessionally.After earning his music degree,Chad completed a master’s degree atthe University of Wisconsin-Madisonin opera performance and thenmoved to New York City. It wasthere that he met his wife, Brenda,who was a student at The JuilliardSchool.“As you might imagine, there werea lot of musical opportunities in NewYork. Some of the highlights for meincluded singing in the chorus withthe New York City Opera at LincolnCenter and with The Opera Orchestraof New York in Carnegie Hall,” saysChad.After two years in New York the couplemoved to Frankfurt, Germany, wherehis wife accepted a position as a sopranosoloist in Oper Frankfurt’s ensemble.Chad also performed in six differentroles with Oper Frankfurt. In one opera,“Gianni Schicchi,” he and Brenda playedhusband and wife on stage.Having fulfilled his first dream ofmaking a living through his singing,Chad was ready to pursue anotherdream—law school.“My brother, Brad, was definitely animportant factor in my decision to enrollat Iowa,” says Chad. “Also, I love thestate of Iowa and am well aware of theCollege’s excellent reputation. It seemedlike the perfect place.”L to R: Chad Graham, ’14, and his brother, Brad Graham, ’00 at Chad’s wedding.4 Iowa Advocate 2013

“My brother, Brad, was definitely an important factorin my decision to enroll at Iowa.Also, I love the state of Iowaand am well aware of theCollege of Law’s excellent reputation.It seemed like the perfect place.”Chad returned to Iowa City to beginlaw school, and Brenda remained withthe ensemble in Frankfurt. During hisfirst semester, he flew to Frankfurt forthe weekend to hear his wife sing a newopera role for the first time.“I packed up my Torts and Contractscasebooks and did my homework onthe flight. I spent 48 hours in Germanybefore I had to fly back for class onMonday,” says Chad. His wife will bemaking her U.S. debut in January 2013at Carnegie Hall in New York City. “I’lltake my casebooks with me that weekendtoo.”— Chad graham, ’14Chad enjoys talking to his brotherabout his personal experiences and thewealth of opportunities at Iowa Law.He is taking some of the same coursesBrad did, and their interests are beginningto overlap.“My brother has had to endure a barrageof questions about all aspects of lawschool. I do not think anyone can reallyunderstand the experience unless they gothrough it, so it is nice to have someoneto talk to who gets it,” says Chad.FThere are about 10,000 people in theIowa Law alumni community whohave been there and get it. And all ofour students are beneficiaries of thisnetwork, whether they are related tosomeone who is a part of it or not.For Courtney Jordan, ’13,a first-generation law student, thatalumni network is especially important.Her family and friends in herhometown of Pryor, Oklahoma areproud and supportive of her efforts,but she turns to faculty, alumni, andlaw-student peers when she needs lawschool and law-related advice.“You have to be willing to ask forhelp especially when you do not havedirect family support,” says Courtney.In ninth grade, Courtney knew shewanted to become a lawyer. “Peoplecome to attorneys to fix a problemwith their business or a family member.I always liked being the personwho is there when someone else needsthem.”When Courtney began law school,it was a steep learning curve for her.Steeper she feels than for those whohave been around lawyers at home.On the first day of classes she remembersbeing a bundle of nerves.The University of Iowa College of Law 5

Generations“It was like learning a whole newlanguage. If I had grown up in a familyof attorneys I think it might have beeneasier,” says Courtney. “You have tolearn to think like a lawyer, and maybethat is something a multi-generationstudent is used to doing.”She selected the UI College of Lawbecause she felt she would get an excellenteducation that had a lot of value.“The opportunities at Iowa are amazingand I probably would not have hadas many choices at other schools. Iowa isa great public academic institution,” saysCourtney.Her advice for first-generation studentsis to determine which area of lawto pursue early on in law school, and toconsult with professors and alumni tofigure it out. In the summer of 2011, sheworked in Houston as an extern and metIowa alumni who were eager to sharetheir law school experiences.“I was completely blown away byhow open and willing alumni were tomeet with me,” says Courtney. “Theyall told me they wanted to help.” IowaLaw alumni have been the next bestthing to family.You can help too!

In many ways, who they are and why they are at Iowa Law is the same asthe more than 10,000 students who came before them. We use Orientation as a time to helpnew students integrate into law school, and this year we also used it as an opportunity toexplore professional identity formation. Through a set of programs, we helped them take thefirst steps to developing who they will be three years from now when they become membersof the legal profession. The Honorable Mary Tabor, ’91, of the Iowa Court of Appeals andProfessor Michelle Falkoff guided Part 1 of our Professional Identity exploration through theirpresentations, clicker questions, and “freewrite” exercises.The second part of the program occurred two weeks into the semester. The students weredivided into 18 small groups and the discussion was facilitated by alumni leaders.Below is a snapshot of the Class of 2015 during Orientation Week.Which bestdescribes you?Do you knowany lawyers?Before orientationbegan,Which bestdescribes you?Which first semesterclass are you mostlooking forward to?What type of jobdo you think youwill pursue?Where do you wantto live right aftergraduation?Responses12.08% I am the first person in my family to complete an undergraduatedegree.33.56% I am the first person in my family to attend graduate orprofessional school.54.36% There are lawyers or other professionals in my family.9.46% I know no lawyers.12.84% I have met a lawyer professionally before.54.73% I personally know lawyers who are not family members.22.97% I have family members who are lawyers.53.74% I knew 0 or 1 other law student.32.65% I knew between 2 and 5 other law students.9.52% I knew between 6 and 10 other law students.4.08% I knew more than 10 other law students.2.01% I don’t know why I came to law school.57.05% I have a general idea of why I came to law school.40.94% I have a clear idea of why I came to law school.42.18% Torts4.76% Property29.25% Legal Analysis, Research, and Writing23.81% Contracts54.42% I know that I want a job that is “law practice.”12.24% I know that I want a job that is not practicing law butrequires or prefers a J.D.4.08% I want a job that does not require a J.D.29.25% I don’t know yet.16.22% Iowa27.03% Elsewhere in the Midwest6.76% East Coast12.16% West Coast4.73% Elsewhere in the U.S.10.81% Outside of the U.S.22.30% I don’t know6 Iowa Advocate 2013

L to R: Professors N. William Hinesand Arthur Bonfield.In 1962, former UI College of LawDean Mason Ladd, hired two, verybright recent law graduates. One fromthe east coast, Arthur Bonfield, a Brooklynnative and 1960 Yale Law Schoolgraduate, and one from the Midwest, N.William (Bill) Hines, a Kansan and 1961graduate of the University of KansasSchool of Law.While they were raised and schooledin different parts of the country, theirlives started to align once they graduatedfrom law school. Bonfield obtained aJ.D. and LL.M. in 1961 from Yale, andwas completing a post-graduate fellowshipat Yale from 1961 to 1962. Hineshad begun his teaching fellowship in1961 at Harvard.Both had married and started theirfamilies. In 1962, they were recruited toFEATUREProfessors celebrate50 years at Iowathe UI College of Law by Dean Ladd tocommence their academic careers as assistantprofessors. They began their Iowateaching careers with a summer class in1962; Bonfield in the Law of Restitutionwhich he taught only once, and Hines inProbate Law, where he still teaches.How did you decide that you wanted alaw career in academia?Hines: I went to college as a jock andearned four letters in basketball andtennis. I expected to be a high schoolteacher and coach and went to lawschool mostly because my dad was alawyer. Once in law school, I becamemore interested in academics and myDean, James Logan, who went on to bea federal judge appointed by PresidentCarter to the U.S. Court of Appealsfor the 10th Circuit, encouraged me tobecome a law professor. He arranged forme to be awarded a teaching fellowshipat Harvard University. This was anenormous professional boost.Bonfield: I was getting my law degreeat Yale and my professor for constitutionallaw, Alexander Bickel, and Ihad a conversation about becoming anacademic in political science or in lawschool. He asked me, “Do you want todo scholarship that will be read only byother scholars, or do you want to doscholarship where your work is read bythose with power and converted intolaw?” I decided then to be a law professorbecause I wanted the latter.What made you apply to a facultyposition at Iowa?Bonfield: Dean Ladd only hired fromHarvard and Yale, and maybe Columbia.He came to Yale and interviewed me andAl Utton. He offered the position to Utton.I had been interviewing for facultypositions and had offers from other lawschools but not teaching the subjects Iwanted; one was the University of NewMexico (UNM). Utton was from NewMexico. I really wanted to come to Iowabecause I could teach constitutional lawhere. Somehow after Utton talked toLadd and I talked with UNM, we gotthe offers switched and I ended up atIowa and Utton at UNM.Hines: While I was working as ateaching fellow at Harvard, Dean Laddcame to interview potential teachers,but no one signed up to see him. In apanic, our supervisor conscripted threeof us faculty fellows to sign up to beinterviewed. Ladd called me at 11 p.m.one night two weeks later asking if Iwanted to come to the UI College ofLaw next year. I explained to him that Ihad a two-year commitment to Harvard.He said go talk to Dean Griswold, whoThe University of Iowa College of Law 7

Bonfield and Hines: 50 years at IowaDean Ladd was sure to recommend Itake the Iowa offer. Instead, Griswoldstrongly advised me to stay and finishthe fellowship. My wife and I wanted toget back to the Midwest, however, so Idecided to accept the Iowa offer anyway.What was your first day like at Iowa?Hines: I felt very confident when I arrived.I had just spent a year teachingthe brightest and the best at Harvard. Inmy first summer at Iowa I was surprisedto be teaching a lot of students who wereveterans, some much older than me.It was a lot tougher than my teachingexperience at Harvard, but I survivedand gained greater confidence from thenew challenge.Bonfield: I found my office andmoved in. Dean Ladd informed me I’dbe teaching a course called Restitution.I told him I had not ever had such acourse in law school. He said, “You’lllearn it.” I did.How is the process of educating futurelawyers different than when you started?Hines: The basic intellectual skillshaven’t changed all that much. When westarted, Iowa was still following the HarvardLaw School model, flunking outroughly one-third of the first year class.In 1966, we started selective admissionsand adopted Yale’s approach by havingsmaller classes, a larger number of faculty,and a much higher retention rate.Bonfield: Today, we are teachingmany more women and minorities.Their presence helped the educationalprocess because it introduced viewpointsin the classroom that were not expressed50 years ago. Today, we also make muchmore of an investment in the studentsadmitted and fail out of law school farfewer students.“During the last 50 years, wehave worked hard at movingthe law school upwardsin quality and substance,and I think we have beenvery successful.”— Professor BonfieldHow have expectations for new facultychanged over the years?Hines: For law school faculty, it’s moredemanding now in teaching, scholarship,and service commitments. Excellentteaching is still expected, but facultyneed to publish more. There now isstructured release time from teaching tosupport research and writing.Bonfield: Scholarship has become anincreasingly important part of the job.When I joined the faculty, I immediatelybegan producing substantial amountsof scholarship both because I wanted toand because it was expected.What has been the most challenging and/or gratifying aspect of your careers?Bonfield: Two of my biggest challengesalso were extremely gratifying. First waslaw reform—getting people to adoptideas I developed and make them law.It started with the Iowa Civil Rights Actwhich I drafted and then was successfulin selling it to the Iowa Legislature, andthen it was followed by similar successesin other statutes I drafted—the IowaAPA, Open Meetings Law, and publicrecords laws. Second was the challengeand gratification that came after I wasappointed Associate Dean in charge ofthe Law Library 26 years ago. At thattime we were ranked 12th or 13th insize, and now we are the second largestlaw school library in the U.S. The thirdmost gratifying aspect of my careerwas my teaching. I have always lovedmy teaching and found it extremelygratifying.Hines: I spent 28 years as Dean ofthe College of Law. I wanted to get theCollege greater national recognition forthe quality of our educational program.As one way to do this, I tried to findoccasions to get our faculty invited tonational conferences to show off theirquality in teaching and scholarship.Bonfield: Bill did a great job of this.With other law schools you only seepublications, but an inadequate emphasison teaching and the educationalprogram.Hines: Also, polls and rankings donot reflect what happens for studentsat Iowa—the professionalization of studentsand their preparation for a lifetimeof learning the law. Another major challengeI had was getting the Boyd LawBuilding planned, funded, and built.It was very gratifying to be at the centerof the effort that created this wonderfulfacility, which still looks and feels newafter 25 years.Is there an event/moment that stands outin your memory of the last 50 years?Bonfield: Success in the law reformwork that I have done that significantlyimproved the administrative law systemof Iowa.Hines: Arthur and I have beeninvolved in the wholesale redesign ofIowa legal education here. We followedthe Yale model but took it a step or twofurther. We adopted small section classesin both semesters of the first year, andsince we came, the size of the facultyhas quadrupled. As Dean, I took part inhiring more than 65 faculty members.We’ve hired some terrific colleagues overthe years, many of whom have gone onto become leading authorities in theirfields.Another highlight was the dedicationof the Boyd Law Building featuring JusticeHarry Blackmun in 1986. There wasgreat concern that there would be antiabortionprotestors who would mar theoccasion, but there were no problems.Bonfield: During the last 50 years,we have worked hard at moving the lawschool upwards in quality and substance,and I think we have been very successful.8 Iowa Advocate 2013

How Iowa Law Inspired Dean N. William HinesBy N. William Hines Dean Emeritus and Joseph F. Rosenfield ProfessorI have told the story manytimes about how Dean Mason Laddstunned me with an unsolicited job offerin the fall of 1961. In the course ofconsidering the Iowa offer, I consultedlegendary Harvard Law Dean ErwinGriswold. Here is what he told me:“Hines, Iowa’s national reputation isexcellent. It is known as a great place tostart a law teaching career, but you willnot want to stay there too long if youwant your academic career to flourish.”He explained that for every Allan Vestalwho spent his entire career at Iowa, therewere many other talented professors wholeft Iowa for better jobs relatively early intheir careers. I thought at the time, thatis certainly a disturbing “good news/badnews” story about Iowa.When Arthur Bonfield and I joinedthe Iowa law faculty together in May of1962, there were only 12 faculty members.Sure enough, in the first couple ofyears after we arrived four talented colleagues,nearly one-third of the tenuredfaculty left Iowa, M. Carr Ferguson forNYU, John O’Byrne for Northwestern,Jeff O’Connell for Virginia, and RussellWeintraub for Texas. I knew from myconversations with these four facultymembers that they truly enjoyed theirtime at Iowa and regretted leaving,but felt they simply would do better atmore highly regarded law schools withgreater financial resources to supporttheir scholarly work. Almost all of theprofessors who left Iowa during this erawent on to enjoy outstanding professionalcareers at their new schools, solosing them was a real setback to Iowa. Iknew by then that I intended to stay atIowa for the long term, so I found thisbrain drain very troubling. I rememberresolving that, if I was ever in positionto do something about it, I would doeverything I could to try to change theperception that Iowa could not retain itsmost outstanding faculty members oncethey became established as leaders intheir field.Fast forward a decade to my becomingDean and I got my chance. Those ofyou around in 1976 may remember thatalthough the primary goal of the ILSF’sfirst capital campaign in 1973-1975 wasto raise money for grants and loans tolaw students. My top decanal prioritywas to greatly strengthen our institutionalsupport for productive faculty membersacross the board. This meant morefunding for scholarly research, strengtheningthe Law Library, regular professionaldevelopment leaves, summerresearch funding, more student researchassistants, travel to professional meetings,and earlier recognition of outstandingacademic achievement through theawarding of fellowships, distinguishedprofessorships and chairs. I quickly discoveredthat State support would fundalmost none of these enhancements.Fortunately, under the leadership of DonBurington, John Wicks, and Ed Hansell,an increasingly engaged ILSF Boardendorsed my initiative to enhance oursupport of faculty members as the bestmeans to retain them against outsideraiding. ILSF funding was not strongenough to move on all these fronts atonce, but the Foundation Board stayedsolidly behind this priority year afteryear, and over time one after another ofthese support enhancements was lockedinto place. By the time we openedthe Boyd Law Building 10 years later,because of the continuously generousbacking from the ILSF, Iowa enjoyed asstrong a level of institutional support forfaculty members’ teaching and scholarshipas any of our national peers amongpublic law schools.The success of ILSF’s consistent supportof this retention strategy truly haspaid big dividends in three ways. First,although we still lose valued facultymembers from time to time — no lawschool retains every faculty memberuntil retirement — for the past 25 yearsour rate of losing star faculty membersto other law schools is no different thanany of our peers. As a result, today weare challenged to find wall space todisplay the growing number of facultyportraits celebrating 25 years of serviceat Iowa. Second, and perhaps mostimportantly, because we have been ableto retain outstanding faculty members,many of whom probably would haveleft Iowa in the old days, Iowa hasreaped the benefits of their professionalaccomplishments. Accordingly, theLaw School’s national reputation rosesteadily. Third, I realized in watchingthe current faculty members quoted inthese impressive campaign videos,* overhalf of the featured faculty did not starttheir teaching careers at Iowa, but wererecruited to Iowa because of the specialopportunities they saw here. Thoughwe were once a major exporter of lawteaching talent, Iowa has become a netimporter of talented law professors whohave distinguished themselves elsewhererelatively early in their careers.Thus, thanks to the loyal and generousfinancial support of Iowa alums andthe wise leadership of the ILSF Board,over the past 35 years we succeeded inreversing what was once a very troublingbrain drain. It took decades of stayingthe course, but Iowa’s reputation in therest of the law school world was changeddramatically for the better. Iowa is nowwidely recognized as “Not only a greatplace to begin a law teaching career, butan even better place to stay long term.”Dean Griswold would be amazed.N. William Hines, Dean Emeritus andJoseph F. Rosenfield Professor, first told thisstory at the Iowa Law School Foundation’skick off celebration for “Iowa Inspired: TheCampaign for Iowa Law,” on September 28,2012. *To view a special campaign video goto: http://uifoundation.org/iowainspired/.The University of Iowa College of Law 9

Commencement 2012L to R: UI President, Sally Mason,Associate Provost for GraduateEducation and Dean of the GraduateCollege, John Keller, Honorary degreerecipient, and former Iowa Governor,Robert D. Ray, Solicitor General ofthe United States, Donald Verrilli,Jr., Regent Robert Downer, ’63, andDean and F. Wendell Professor of Law,Gail B. Agrawal.“But being a lawyer is not a job. It is a profession– or if you are lucky a calling.There is, or at least there should be, nobility in our work: taking on and solving otherpeople’s problems, being the voice for the voiceless, standing up for the rule of law ineverything you do. As a profession, we need to reclaim these core values and restore themto the central place they deserve.That is only going to happen – renewal is only going to happen – if you make it happen,from your first day on the job. It starts with the recognition that the law is a publicprofession, and that being a lawyer means assuming public responsibilities. Thoseresponsibilities include devoting time to pro bono or community service every year,starting this year. But your sense of public responsibility should shape everything you do.It means having the integrity to say no when the law will not permit what your clientwants to do, even as you try to find a way for what the client would like to accomplishwithin the law. It means being candid with the courts, even as you zealously advocate foryour client’s interest. It requires a constant appreciation of the public consequences of youractions, and those of the clients you advise and represent.And I do hope that for many of you, this sense of public responsibility will lead you intofull-fledged public service at some point in your lives – sooner rather than later.”An excerpt from the Iowa Law Commencement address of the Solicitor General of the United States,Donald B.

College of Law N ews“. . . I realized that I couldbe more useful if I workedin the United States helpinglawyers and judges here tonavigate the complexitiesof international familylaw practice.”Professor Estin’s new book clarifiesinternational family lawWhat began as a search for a good research project ended in thepublication of Ann Laquer Estin’s new book, the “International Family Law Desk Book.”Her journey to the book’s publicationbegan with membership in the InternationalSociety of Family Law (ISFL),which provided her with observer statusat the Hague Conference on PrivateInternational Law. The ISFL appointedher to attend meetings of the HagueConference that focused on a newinternational treaty for establishing andenforcing child support.“The Hague Conference is a veryimpressive international organizationthat is doing important work on issuesincluding child abduction and intercountryadoption. When I attended thefirst of these meetings in 2007, I waslooking for a good project for my nextresearch leave semester, and thoughtI could do something useful at theirPermanent Bureau in The Hague,”says Estin. “Within the first day ortwo, I realized that I could be moreuseful if I worked in the United Stateshelping lawyers and judges here to navigatethe complexities of internationalfamily law practice.”By the time she got home, she had aplan for a couple of law review articlesand a rough outline of a book. Estin receiveda Global Scholar fellowship fromthe University of Iowa in 2009, whichfunded additional trips to The Hagueand made it possible to devote an extrasemester to writing the book.The book takes a broad approach tointernational family law with regard tocross-border family issues—includingtopics such as, marriage, divorce, thefinancial aspects of divorce, parentageand parental rights, custody and childabduction litigation, child support, andintercountry adoption.Estin often receives inquiries fromlawyers who confront complicated internationalfamily law questions. Now, sheenjoys being able to open the book andprovide a phone number or a couple ofcase citations to help them find the rightanswer.“The other thing that surprised mein this project was discovering that childwelfare cases with cross-border issuesare particularly unwieldy and difficult,and not well understood by most of theplayers in the international family lawsystem,” says Estin. “Immigration lawscomplicate these cases, along with thechronic lack of resources for child protectionservices. We have difficulty evenwith interstate child welfare proceedingsin the United States.”Estin’s book was published by theAmerican Bar Association (ABA) inJanuary 2012 and is available on theABA publishing web site at:http://apps.americanbar.org/abastore.The University of Iowa College of Law 13

Osielassessed the Tribunal’s achievementsover its nearly 20 years of work anddelineated what he sees as the limitedbut genuine prospects for internationalcriminal law in a world of jealous,self-regarding states.Professors Christina Bohannan and Herbert Hovenkamp have publishedtheir book, “Creation Without Restraint: Promoting Liberty and Rivalry in Innovation.”(Oxford, 2012), which analyzes the current state of competition and intellectual property,and proposes realistic reforms for patent and copyright law that will encourageinnovation. In the book, Bohannan and Hovenkamp consider how antitrust and IP lawshould engage practices that restrain rather than promote innovation, and suggesta broader reach but narrower remedies for intellectual property misuse. They alsoevaluate competition and intellectual property rights on the “innovation commons,” orthe vast area involving collaborative management of innovation, as well as post-salerestraints involving patents and copyrights.Bohannan and Hovenkamp also evaluate the uses and limits of antitrust to addressa variety of practices in innovation intensive markets, including interconnection innetworks, duties to deal, and Internet neutrality. Their book contains clear expositionof economic topics, and comprehensive coverage of both intellectual property andantitrust issues.14 Iowa Advocate 2013

Kentucky.The Court held that racially discriminatoryperemptory jury challenges by prosecutorsviolated the Equal ProtectionClause of the 14th Amendment and thata defendant could succeed with an equalprotection challenge to the prosecutor’speremptory strikes based on the factsof his or her case alone. Significantly,the Court ruled that the Constitutionforbade strikes based on race or on racebasedassumptions about jurors—forexample, on assumptions that membersof a particular racial group will be biasedin favor of members of their own raceor against members of another race. TheCourt also prescribed a three-stagedoctrinal framework for assessing claimsthat the prosecution has discriminatedon racial grounds: the decision whetherthe facts establish a prima facie case ofunconstitutional discrimination; rebuttalof the prima facie case by the prosecution;and the trial judge’s determinationof whether the defendant has carried theburden of proving intentional discrimination.In commemoration of the April 2011Batson 25th anniversary, the Iowa LawReview presented Batson at Twenty-Fivein October 2011. James Tomkovicz,Edward Howrey Professor at the Collegeof Law, organized the symposium. Inthe quarter century since the decisionwas announced, the Court has handeddown a number of opinions that havedeveloped the doctrine further—some ofthem expansive, others restrictive. Scholarshave long debated the constitutionalmerits of the holdings in Batson andthe evolved Batson doctrine. Many havequestioned Batson’s efficacy, suggestingthat it has not proven to be a successfultool for eliminating, or sufficientlyreducing, discriminatory exclusion ofprospective jurors. The symposiumpresented a variety of scholarly perspectiveson the significance, appropriateness,implications, and effectiveness ofthe Batson doctrine. The symposiumessays were published in the July 2012issue of the Iowa Law Review, (Volume97, Issue 5).More information about the symposiumis available at: http://www.law.uiowa.edu/news-events/batson.php.18 Iowa Advocate 2013

Looking Back: The Promises and Perils of the EMU –Examination of the EMU’s historical development, the Euro’spotential risks and benefits, and the European and globalramifications of the EMU before the crisis. Panelists included:Caroline M. Bradley, University of Miami School of Law,and Timothy Canova, Chapman University School of Law.II. Assessing the Crisis and its Resolution – How the crisiscame into being and evolved, and the efforts to curtail thecrisis. Panelists included: Harold Rocha, Expert on Europeanfinance, Aldo Caliari, Director of the Rethinking BrettonWoods Project, and Christoph Henkel, Mississippi CollegeSchool of Law.III.

Weidemaier, University of NorthCarolina School of Law, and Badr Zerdhoud, Universityof Geneva. Video from the symposium is available at:http://www.uiowa.edu/~tlcp/symposium.html.In October 2012, TLCP along with COL Professor JohnReitz, President of the American Society of ComparativeLaw (ASCL), hosted the Society’s annual meeting at theBoyd Law Building.The meeting examined the role of the courts and itspower of judicial review, the legal concept that lets courts invalidatelaws on the grounds that it violates the Constitution.While the U.S. has had judicial review in place for manyyears, some countries are just now adopting it.“It’s a conflict we have had for years in the United States,between popular democracy and judicial review,” says Reitz,who coordinated the conference with COL Professors AdrienWing and Alexander Somek. “Judicial review is good and it’sbad. Sometimes, the conflict becomes so tense that there is aquestion of whether judicial review is undermining democracy,and recently in the United States, we have had very strongattempts to trim it back.”Reitz says judicial review has traditionally been seen as acheck against a country’s legislative and executive branches,giving the courts the power to reign in a government thatpasses law contrary to its constitution.While judicial review has become increasingly controversialin the United States, it’s widely spreading around theworld. Longstanding democracies like the United Kingdom,New Zealand, and Canada have established courts in recentdecades with the power of judicial review. But nowhere hasjudicial review been more strongly embraced than in partsof Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Reitz saysscholars speculate that nascent democracies embrace judicialreview so firmly because such courts have become a powerfulsymbol of democracy.

Law Library archiveproject puts old itemsin new order“The archives tell thestory of the law schooland everyone who’s hadcontact with it—it’s a good story,worth preserving andworth telling.”Noëlle Sinclair, Headof Circulation at the College ofLaw Library, has been workingon a new project. She is taking the library’s oldest items—thearchives and rare books—and organizing them into a fully accessiblelist of bound volumes, important papers, and materials.“I have wanted to work on the archives since I arrived at theLaw Library four years ago, but the project really came intobeing with Professor Sandy Boyd’s requests for items we held.The materials, for the most part, were not organized and therewas no finding aid. It was impossible to dig through all theboxes to locate anything,” says Sinclair.Boyd spoke with Dean Gail Agrawal about the situation,who recognizing the value of making the material available,committed funding for that purpose.In the third floor’s Rare Book Room, there are hundredsof volumes dating back to 1505. Many of the books, approximately600, were part of Professor William G. Hammond’scollection. He was the first resident Professor and Principal(now referred to as Chancellor) of the Iowa Law School after itwas moved from Des Moines to Iowa City in 1868. Countlesstreasures can be found in the collection, including a letter writtenin 1875 by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., beforehe was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.“The greatest challenge with the materials themselves is thatwe have not collected and preserved them consistently. Insteadof having a roster of items spanning the entire history of thelaw school, we have bits and pieces. Once we have documentedwhat we have, we will have to put some attention towardsbeing able to fill in the holes by talking to alumni and otherswho might hold pieces of our history that they would be willingto donate. Hearing the stories is fascinating and knowingwe are protecting and preserving those things for everyone toenjoy is the best part of my work,” says Sinclair.Visit the Archive Project’s blog at: http://blogs.law.uiowa.edu/archiveproject/.Law Library welcomesExecutive Law LibrarianThe UI College of Law has hired Executive Law Librarianof the Law Library, Katherine Hall.

College of Law NewsStudent NewsHasti Barahmand, ’12,volunteered to work in theJohnson County PublicDefender’s Office her firstyear and came away witha greater understandingof the job.By Nathan Legue, ’12, Law Clerk,7th Judicial District of Iowa in DavenportCitizen Lawyer Program provides lawstudents with practical legal skillsWhen law students first cometo law school, they often are eager forhands-on legal experience. For Iowastudents, the Citizen Lawyer Program’spro bono projects provide an opportunityto get that experience. This opportunityis especially important for 1Ls whocan participate as soon as they startlaw school.“That was one of the things thatsealed me coming here, the ability to dosomething practical even in your firstyear,” says Ryan Melcher, ’12. “Most1Ls probably do not get a lot of chancesto do that.”While a major goal of the CitizenLawyer Program is to help law studentsunderstand the importance of communityservice, the goal of developing skillsfor future lawyers is another essentialbenefit of its projects.For instance, Hasti Barahmand, ’12,volunteered to work in the JohnsonCounty Public Defender’s Office herfirst year and came away with a greaterunderstanding of the job.“I expected it all to be office work,”says Barahmand. “We got to do research,we got to tag along on a jail interview,and we even got to see a pretty freshhomicide scene.”The hands-on experience of a dayto-daypublic defender’s job so strengthenedBarahmand’s desire and her abilityto do public interest work, that sheapplied for and was awarded a two-yearEqual Justice Works Fellowship. Aftergraduation, she began work in theMiami, Florida, Public Defender’s Officeas a liaison for children in the foster caresystem who face juvenile delinquencycharges. Barahmand developed the ideafor the position on her own, and wasinformed in part by her work for theCitizen Lawyer Program project.Melcher came to law school interestedprimarily in alternative disputeresolution and less enthused about theHasti Barahmand, ’12more confrontational aspects of the law,like litigation. But after spending partof his first year assisting the JohnsonCounty Public Defender’s Office withcases, he walked away with less antipathytoward trial work and more confidence.“It instilled some of the desires todo advocacy because of some of theproblems with the system,” saysMelcher. “I’ve always rooted for the underdog,but I always saw others as doingit, not myself.”Mark Van Heukelom, ’14, joined theVolunteer Income Tax Assistance projectboth because of his interest in tax lawand a desire to develop his client skills.In that project, law students help lowincometaxpayers fill out theirtax returns.“It helped me become more articulate,more capable of breaking downtopics in a way that is understandable tonon-legal minds,” says Van Heukelom.22 Iowa Advocate 2013

Mayo Clinic decision on patentable subjectmatter.Associate Professor of Law, Jason Rantanen,with Polk Wagner, Professor of Law, Universityof Pennsylvania Law School, and Lee Petherbridge,Professor of Law, Loyola Law School LosAngeles, has conducted an empirical study onthe characteristics of patents that the FederalCircuit has held to be unenforceable due toinequitable conduct. This work has evolved fromthe observation that there has been no systematicattempt to determine whether the patentdoctrine of inequitable conduct is or is notworking as theorized. They found that patentsheld unenforceable have clear hallmarks of riskyprosecution behavior, such as longer pendencyand fewer disclosures of prior art as comparedto other types of litigated patents, results thatindicate that the doctrine is likely to be operatingbetter than the conventional wisdom wouldsuggest.Herbert Hovenkamp, Ben and Dorothy WillieChair, has made his 2011 book, “Innovationand Competition Policy: Cases and Materials,An Open Source Casebook,” available onlinethrough the IBL website. The book considersnumerous sources of competition policy in additionto antitrust, including those that emanatefrom the intellectual property laws themselves,and also related issues such as the relationshipbetween market structure and innovation, andthe competitive consequences of regulatoryrules governing technology competition.

DevelopmentILSF provides marginof excellenceTo learn more about howyou can support faculty andstudents in the UI College ofLaw, please contact:The Iowa Law SchoolFoundation Office ofDevelopmentThe University of IowaFoundation(319) 335-3305(800) 648-6973http://www.uifoundation.org/iowainspred/The Iowa Law School Foundation (ILSF) began with a broad visionto support and truly advance the University of Iowa College of Law. Faculty chairs,student scholarships, cutting-edge resources—initial board member Thomas Collins,’52, recalls “wanting to address everything” in the beginning.Established by members of the class of 1952, the ILSF is in its 60th year ofcultivating private support for the Iowa Law School, and Collins feels that much hasindeed been addressed in that time. Private support now stands as a key differentiatorfor the College of Law and its students.Richard Canady, ’59, was one suchstudent. Canady recalls having “littleawareness” about the ILSF’s work whilein school. But he does remember thetime that Collins showed up to speak tohis class. Canady’s awareness may havesprouted in that experience, though itreally blossomed several years, and miles,later. After settling in San Francisco—where he still lives—he was approached“I’ve seen a lot of top peoplepass through the Iowa LawSchool Foundation.”– Richard Canady, ’59about a role with the ILSF more than a decade after graduating. “I was flattered toserve when asked,” he says.Canady served first as a board member, and later as president from 1989 to 2001,a time during which he came to appreciate the ILSF’s role in the quality of legaleducation at the UI. The once unaware student also came to admire the membersamong whom he served. “I’ve seen a lot of top people pass through the foundation,”he says.G. Duane (Bud) Vieth, ’49, agrees, crediting Joseph Rosenfield, ’28, for theILSF’s early financial success. Mr. Rosenfield was a lawyer, businessman, and philanthropistwhose investment advice was crucial for the ILSF in those early days, Viethsays.“Top people” are among the many reasons that the ILSF is able to offer studentsa margin of excellence in public legal education. That excellence provides an edge forgraduates, and serves as a source of pride for students, faculty, alumni, and friendsof the College—a pride that is evident in those who have helped to build the ILSF.“There’s such a strong faculty at the University of Iowa,” says Canady. Viethbelieves the ILSF’s role is a vital component of the College’s world-class faculty, sayingthat Collins and his fellow founding board members “had a wonderful idea” instarting the ILSF so many years ago. Collins has every confidence in those that havefollowed him and his fellow early leaders. “It’s not a passing of the baton regardingchanging leadership,” Collins says. “It’s a natural evolution of new leaders.”Vieth was elected a lifetime honorary board member of the ILSF in 1990,Collins in 2001, and Canady in 2003. With the service of proud alumni like them—and the continued generosity of Iowa Law School’s supporters—the ILSF looksforward to continuing its legacy of providing students and faculty a crucial edgein public legal education.The University of Iowa College of Law 35

On the government side of the investigationwere state Attorneys General and state mortgage regulators from across the countryand both political parties, and representatives from a diverse group of federal agencies,creating an unprecedented partnership. As the lead Assistant Attorney General for thecountry and a key negotiator in the settlement of this federal-state accord, his effortsresulted in a $25 billion national settlement for consumers.“It was difficult to coordinate the state’s Attorney General offices and bankingofficials, as well as the Department of Justice, HUD, the Department of Treasury, andU.S. bankruptcy trustees,” says Madigan. “The Ameriquest settlement in 2006 and the“robo-signing” settlement which involved some of the nation’s major banks, was a realchallenge.”Throughout his work, Madigan has been up against top attorneys in New York Cityand Washington, D.C.
