FROM THE Dean’s DeskDear CUA Law School Community,When you reflect back onyour former law schoolprofessors, what comes tomind? For many of us, the memories ofthose days are understandably set in aclassroom. Even many years later wemay carry distinct recollections of a professor’slecture subjects, or style of interactionwith students, or even the toughgrading policy!What many law students (and alumni)do not often get the chance toobserve and appreciate is the otherequally important facet in the life of anylaw professor: the role of scholar andresearcher.The quality of a faculty’s collectivescholarly output and the impact it has ona law school’s standing in higher educationcannot be overstated. A professorwho stakes out unexplored legal ground,links old concepts in new and innovativeways, or asks questions that invite a seriousreconsideration of some aspect ofestablished jurisprudence not only burnisheshis or her own academic reputation,but also helps to raise the respectand standing of their home law school inthe eyes of others.The Columbus School of Law isfortunate to have many such talentedthinkers, writers and researchers servingon its faculty. The books, book chapters,law review articles, monographs andother examples of academic researchproduced by our professors could easilyfill an entire volume. In this issue ofCUA Lawyer, we have chosen to offer aglimpse of what they have producedduring just the past two years, with thehope that a broadened understanding ofwhat a law professor actually does, out ofthe classroom, will increase your appreciationof the exceptional educators whoteach here.In this issue we have also includedan account by Professor Sandy Ogilvy ofhis fact-finding trip to Haiti last May.Professor Ogilvy is the director of thelaw school’s Office of Law & SocialJustice Initiatives, and he has beenexploring ways in which CatholicUniversity’s law school can help toaddress some of that beleaguered country’soverwhelming educational challengesin the years to come.Also included is a profile of one ofour most accomplished alumnae, theHon. Peggy Quince, chief justice of theFlorida Supreme Court; a look at theimpressive legislative successes oflawyer-lobbyist Patrick Campbell, Classof 2008; a salute to the leadership abilitiesof two CUA law alumni who headup their state bar associations; and a peekinto the creative speakers program thathas been the hallmark of our monthlyfaculty luncheons for more than 20years.I have some other good news toshare with you, not covered elsewherein these pages. In November, wereceived the results of our graduateswho sat for the most recent Marylandbar exam, taken in July 2008. As most ofyou know, Maryland is the jurisdictionin which the majority of CUA graduateschoose to take the bar examination. Theresults are as follows:■ Pass Rates for CUA GraduatesOverall Pass: 104/118 (88 percent)1st-Time Pass: 100/112 (89 percent)■ Overall Maryland Bar Pass RatesTotal Overall Pass: 1112/1362(82 percent)Total 1st-Time Pass: 1032/1174(88 percent)We also enjoyed an 84 percent firsttimepass rate in Virginia, our secondmost popular jurisdiction, and an 88 percentpass rate in New York, the third mostpopular jurisdiction for CUA graduates.Our graduates also posted a 100 percentpass rate on the Pennsylvania bar exam.I hope these numbers will holdsteady and even improve in the future.They are a credit to the dedication ofour students and to the faculty and staffmembers who have worked so hard toimprove our preparation methods ofstudy for the bar.I cannot close without acknowledgingthe financial turmoil of the past severalmonths. In the classroom, we haveoffered our students expert panel discussionsto help them arrive at a deeperunderstanding of the causes behind thepresent crisis. It remains to be seen howthe present uncertainty may affect ourapplication volume in the months ahead.But an economic contraction, like everyother negative turn in life, eventuallypasses. I have no doubt that theColumbus School of Law will weathertoday’s financial tempest and emergestronger than ever at the end.That is my hope, prayer and expectationfor our law school, and also for all ofyou, our wonderful community of alumni.With best wishes,Veryl V. MilesDean and Professor of Law

CUA’S LOAN REPAYMENT ASSISTANCEPROGRAM MAKES FIRST AWARDThe Columbus School of Law’s longtime goal of helping tomake careers in public interest law financially feasible for itsgraduates is now a reality. Backed by an endowment that hassurpassed $100,000, the LRAP program has made its first award to arecent graduate practicing in public interest law during the fall of2008. The amount of the award will be approximately $4,000 per yearfor five years.Student-initiated fundraising for the LRAP endowment was critical.Money came from the sale of used textbooks, as well as some fundsraised by the annual auction of Students for Public Interest Law.Alumni applicants for the first LRAP award drew heavily frompublic interest positions in government, and from such privatesector positions as staff attorney with Vermont Legal Aid’s DisabilityLaw Project.Alumni interested in contributing to the Loan RepaymentAssistance Program may donate via the Web:http://law.cua.edu/alumni/development/, or contact DavidLevite, 202-319-5670, alumni@law.eduTHE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICAColumbus School of LawcualawyerFall/Winter 2008 • Vol. 27, No. 2Thomas M.

The foundation will match,dollar for dollar, all first-time contributionsand increased contributionsmade before next July, up to a maximumof $10,000. This means that ifyou contribute as little as $5 aboveyour gift amount last year, the entireamount of your contribution will counttoward the challenge grant match.Thanks to the generosity of many ofyou, we were able to maximize thevalue of the challenge grant last year,and we hope to repeat that success thisyear.This marks the 30th year thatCCLS, through its operation of FALC,has provided legal services to victimsof domestic violence. In the past 12months, FALC students have represented45 victims of domestic violence in55 cases and have provided limitedassistance and outreach to approximately200 people.Approximately 30 studentsenroll in FALC each year representingclients in cases involving emergencyand longer-term protection orders,divorce, child custody, visitation andsupport cases, and Violence AgainstWomen Act petitions for immigrantclients. FALC students learn practicaltrial techniques, refine their researchand writing skills, and develop suchskills as counseling, interviewing andnegotiation.This year’s challenge grant hasonce again provided a unique opportunityto leverage the support of ouralumni and friends. Your contributionto the clinic this year will go twice asfar in helping us to continue to providemuch needed services to the underprivilegedin our community, and totrain the next generation of younglawyers to provide these services.Please consider supporting us to help us reachour goal during this challenge grant period.Please make checks payable to The CatholicUniversity of America with Columbus CommunityLegal Services in the memo line and send to:Columbus School of LawThe Catholic University of America3600 John McCormack Road, N.E., Suite 339Washington, DC 20064You can make a contribution online athttp://law.edu/alumni/development/by clicking on the link for Columbus CommunityLegal Services Fund.To learn more about CCLS, please contact either CatherineKlein at 202-319-5679 or klein@law.edu, or AlvitaEason Barrow at 202-319-6783 or eason@law.edu.Very Rev.David M.

NO PLACE LIKEHomeAn Ordinary, Extraordinary LifeBill Polking, 1962The retirement of Bill Polking in February 2008,after 25 years as a Carroll County, Iowa, magistratejudge, was big local news. He was a fixtureon the bench, deciding many thousands of civilcases over his career. Polking’s departure wasmandated by state law, which requires judges tostep down upon turning 72. Reflecting upon hislong years of service, the judge granted a lengthyinterview with the Carroll, Iowa, Daily TimesHerald. Published on Feb. 8, 2008, the interviewformed the basis for this article.The taste of life in a Washington, D.C., law firm did not captivate Judge BillPolking, who chose to return to his native Iowa a few years after lawschool. His son Chris, left, has now taken his dad’s place on the benchby Tom HaederleAlthough he would have preferrednot to be, Carroll CountyMagistrate Polking is retired. Heis succeeded by Carroll CountyMagistrate Polking.Confusing? Not really. The retiredPolking is dad Bill, and the magistratewho took his seat on the bench is hisson, Chris, who was officially sworn intooffice in early 2008 and is completing hisfather’s four-year term, which expiresJune 30, 2009.After a quarter-century on thebench deciding many thousands ofcases, Bill Polking is pleased that his fellowcitizens will continue to benefit fromthe talents of a magistrate carrying hislast name for many years to come.“For a father to have a son not onlycome into his [law] office but also followhim to the bench, it’s the greatest gift Icould receive,” Polking said,Polking’s has been a life full ofblessings, including a distinguished legalcareer, the high esteem of his friendsand neighbors and adult children who,having lived in other places, chose toreturn to Iowa, keeping his family closeby in Polking’s later years.His children mirror the values exhibitedby their father. A native of Breda,Iowa, Bill Polking completed his undergraduatework and earned his J.D. fromCatholic University in 1962. His brother,Joe, followed two years later, graduatingfrom CUA law in 1964.Law school professor and formerdean Ralph Rohner, one year behindPolking in law school, recalls him as “one4CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

Judge Bill Polking has seen a lot come before his court during 25 years of service on thebench. He doesn’t regret a single day of it.of the finest people I knew through collegeand law school.” Polking practicedfor a few years doing legislative work ata small D.C. firm, but decided in 1971 toreturn to his roots, move back to Iowaand open his own practice.Rohner still admires the decision.“Bill didn’t get elected to high office andhe certainly didn’t get rich. Rather, hetook his legal training back home, to thefarm community and the farm familieswho raised him, and made a 40-yearcareer there as an honest, respectedlawyer/judge who raised and educated afamily, supports his church and communityactivities, and then steps down infavor of his son to succeed him.”The senior Polking served as CarrollCounty attorney for seven years andtaught business and criminal law at DesMoines Area Community College inCarroll until becoming magistrate onJuly 1, 1983.Magistrates decide civil casesinvolving less than $5,000, and mostof the daily workload that camebefore Polking’s court did not exactlypush the boundaries of the law intouncharted waters, such as the caseof a Carroll attorney charged withplacing a large decorative rock tooclose to a sidewalk.Still, magistrates occupy an essentialniche in the state’s judicial system,providing ordinary citizens a front doorthrough which to have their day in court.On the criminal side, they preside overinitial court appearances for all defendants.Magistrates also decide casesinvolving simple misdemeanors, issuesearch and arrest warrants, and decidemental-health and substance-abusecommitment requests.“The most important thing he’staught me is to listen to people, treatthem with respect and be fair,” said hisson and successor, Chris.Polking acknowledges that muchhas changed in the way the judicialsystem functions since he began.Computerization and courtroom up -grades make the job easier, but on thedownside, he has seen a dramatic risein drug offenses and violence andassault charges. “People think theyhave the right to take the law into their“(H)e took his legaltraining back home, tothe farm communityand the farm familieswho raised him,and made a 40-yearcareer there asan honest, respectedlawyer/judge...”— Classmate Ralph Rohnerown hands,” he commented sadly.Despite its part-time salary (Iowamagistrates earn about $35,000 annually,up from the $8,000 salary when hefirst took office), long hours and sometimesdepressing exposure to the endlessparade of human foibles, Polkingwouldn’t trade a single day of his yearson the bench. Unwilling to completelyretire, Polking has returned to his owngeneral practice, working in family, realestate, business, criminal and otherareas of law.But that doesn’t mean his dedicationto justice in the name of his fellowman has abated in the slightest. “Iwould do it again. And I wouldn’t quit ifthe law didn’t say I had to,” said Polking.Fall–Winter 2008 / C UALAWYER 5

A P P R E C I A T I N G E R U D I T I O Ndetainees at Guantanamo Bay has madehis long body of work a perfect match forthe times. Among other distinguishedpositions, Noone is a fellow of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces andSociety and director of InternationalSociety for Military Law and the Law ofWar, as well as president ofthe society’s committee on MilitaryCriminology and Crime.■ In Washington, D.C., there is no lackof legal and financial experts, pundits,think tank academics and opinionshapersof all stripes who are eager tooffer their insights on the great financialmeltdown of 2008. The finite numberof prominent platforms from whichto speak makes landing highly covetedspace in the op-ed pages a verycompetitive business. Professor HeidiSchooner’s article, “A Lashing for theBankers,” landed on one of the biggestprizes: the back page in the Oct. 20,2008, issue of Legal Times, the newspaperof record for the vast legal infrastructureof the nation’s capital. Schooner, who hastaught contracts, corporations, bankinglaw and commercial transactions for 15years at CUA, is a highly regarded experton banking issues with such works-inprogressas “Global Issues in FinancialInstitution Law.” Her Legal Times commentarywarned of pitfalls in the federalownership plan for large banks and predictedmore punishing regulation of thebanking industry in the future.■ Professor Stephen Goldman struckgold, too, in terms of having his professionalexpertise illuminated by the perfectspotlight. Goldman is the former presidentof a successful business thatemployed up to 200 people and later hadhis own management consultancy beforehe moved into the full-time practice andteaching of law. His 2008 book,Temptations in the Office: Ethical Choicesand Legal Obligations drew the attentionof Forbes, America’s leading businessmagazine. It published an interview withGoldman in July 2008 about his volume,which considered how employees’responses to key workplace challengessuch as sexual harassment, conflicts ofinterest, greed and abuse of power aregreatly influenced by management,which must set the tone by embodyingthe values that promote decent behavior.The book’s premise struck a nerve andled to further exposure through interviewswith National Public Radio, U.S.News and World Report and other nationalmedia. It also drew praise from legal colleaguessuch as John W. Adler of Adler,Murphy & McQuillen, LLP, in Chicago,who said, “My only regret on readingProfessor Goldman's new book is that Ihadn't had it earlier in my career. It is apractical, intelligent and readable workon a difficult subject and should be onevery businessman's book shelf.”■ Professor Lisa Lerman’s body of workon the subject of legal ethics has establishedher as one of the leaders in the fieldboth in and out of the profession. Theco-author of “Ethical Problems in thePractice of Law,” published in 2005,Lerman has written many articles aboutlawyers, law firm culture, the legal professionand legal education. While muchof her recent writing deals with issuesrelating to lawyer dishonesty and billingfraud, her scholarship has also tackled thefundamental issue of attorney-client privilege.In September 2008, for instance,Lerman was the featured guest on theAustralian Broadcasting Corporation’s“The Philosopher's Zone.” The radioprogram examined a famous Americanlegal ethics case from the 1970s, oftenreferred to as the Lake Pleasant Bodiescase, in which two attorneys who representedan accused murderer were themselveslater brought to trial for withholdingtheir knowledge of other murderstheir client had committed. An expert onthe circumstances and issues surroundingthe case, Lerman has also been quotedabout it in the ABA Journal, and shedelivered a paper on the ground-breakingcase at the Third International LegalEthics Conference in Brisbane, Australia.As a member of the legal community,Lerman has also demonstrated the braveryto criticize it when necessary. In 2007,she moderated a panel at the ABA’sNational Conference on ProfessionalResponsibility about an awkward and little-discussedsubject: bullying within lawfirms. She noted that it is not uncommonfor one or more of a firm's senior lawyersto verbally, physically or psychologicallyabuse subordinate lawyers and supportstaff.These examples are but a fewamong many instances of legal expertise,thinking and scholarship provided byCUA law faculty members that havebeen brought to bear on critical socialand professional issues. The attention ofthe media to one’s work, however, whilean undeniable ego boost, only one measureof success among many others.Writers, Readers, ResearchersColumbus School of Law professorsare a prolific bunch. During 2007–2008, for example, they collectivelyauthored 48 book chapters, wrote orrevised and updated 22 books, published52 articles in leading U.S. andforeign law journals, and producedmany assorted monographs and bookreviews. They have also left their intellectualstamp on textbooks that arewidely regarded as core course materialsin their respective legal specialties.For example, Professor CliffordFishman’s annually updated Wiretapping& Eavesdropping: Surveillance in theInternet Age is a must-read for any lawstudent or practitioner who wants to keepabreast with ever-evolving issues of electronicprivacy. The same is true forProfessor David Lipton’s Broker-DealerRegulation, which is one of the mostwidely used resources of its kind in thenation. Now in its 6th edition, FatherRaymond O’Brien’s Domestic Relations:Cases and Materials remains a foundationalsource for specialists in family law.The experiential expertise andscholarly output of the law school’s legalclinic faculty rivals any in the country.Two of its professors, Margaret Barry in2009 and Sandy Ogilvy in 2002,have been recognized with the WilliamPincus Award for Outstanding Serviceand Commitment to Clinical LegalEducation from the Association ofAmerican Law Schools, one of the mostprestigious honors in legal higher education.Ogilvy has also established a well-8CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

Need to keep upwith the latest in the complex field ofbioethics law? Informed legal professionalsseek out the work of ProfessorGeorge Smith, who has publishedwidely on the subject and with great prescienceregarding evolving societaltrends. Those seeking a better understandingof the principles of tax law canbone up on the papers of ProfessorRoger Colinvaux, one of the newestmembers of the faculty. As former legislationcounsel to Congress' JointCommittee on Taxation, he authoredmany of Congress' recent changes tolaws affecting tax-exempt organizations.Nearly every member of theColumbus School of Law faculty hascarved a distinct scholarly niche for himselfor herself. More often than not, theirscholarship is met with eager publishersand the respect and admiration of theiracademic colleagues.Reading Up on Each OtherOne wit has called it “Napster forNerds.” Catchy, but not a particularlyaccurate description of the SocialScience Research Network, a Web sitestarted in 1994 that permits academicprofessionals from more than a dozendifferent disciplines to post onlinepapers, articles, book reviews and otherworks of scholarship for their peers toread, consider and learn from.SSRN “is devoted to the rapidworldwide dissemination of social scienceresearch,” according to its Web site.The repository for the work of law professors,the Legal Scholarship Network,is a subset of the main site.As of this writing, 66 papers fromColumbus School of Law faculty membershave been accepted for postingto the Legal Scholarship ResearchNetwork site by its administrators. Theircollective body of work may be searchedby topic, by last name, and by law journalor law school.CUA professors have an impressivebody of work hanging out in cyberspacefor the world to see. The firstProfessor William Kaplin is universallyrecognized as arguably the preeminentauthority on the body of lawthat regulates higher education. Nowin its fourth edition, his seminal text,The Law of Higher Education, sits onthe bookshelf of nearly every collegeor graduate school administratorwho needs to stay current with thelatest developments.Kaplin’s exacting scholarship isso highly regarded by StetsonUniversity’s College of Law and itsCenter for Excellence in HigherEducation Law and Policy that he hasbeen paid the ultimate compliment:the two schools have announced thejoint establishment of the WilliamKaplin Award for Excellence inHigher Education Law and PolicyScholarship. This new national awardwill be presented annually to onescholar on the basis of his or her publishedwork in the field.article submission from the ColumbusSchool of Law was posted in 1998, andthe subjects addressed since then covera wide range of topics, from bioethics,to tax policy, the history of contemporaryjurisprudence, how war affectsinternational trade, federal preemptionof state tort claims, free speech theory,a revisiting of Miranda, and dozens ofother subjects at the cutting-edge oflegal thinking.Among other benefits, the SSRNWeb site also serves as a fountain ofeternal youth for academic papers, keepingthe awareness of good work fresh inthe eyes of contemporaries, no matterwhen it was published. Professor MarinScordato, for example, published “FreeSpeech Rationales after September11th: The First Amendment in Post-World Trade Center America” (with coauthorPaula Monopoli) in the StanfordLaw & Policy Review in 2002. The articlebreathed new life when it was cited inthe most recent edition of the Yale LawJournal by Matthew C. Stephenson inhis article “The Price of Public Action:Constitutional Doctrine and the JudicialManipulation of Legislative EnactmentCosts.”In a bow to the eternal human cravingfor lists, SSRN has taken a page fromAmazon.com in its approach to information.Just as the giant online retailer publishesTop 10 lists that track consumerdemand for many of the products it sells,such as books, movies and CDs, so toodoes the academic publishing site offerTop 10 lists of the most viewed anddownloaded papers.At a glance, law professors nationwidecan use SSRN to get an accuratepicture of what subjects are currently hotand who is writing about them. A paperposted to the site might typically bedownloaded two or three dozen times,most often by professors teaching orresearching the same subject.Professor Heidi Mandanis Schoonerhas achieved a special SSRN distinction.It is safe to say that a paper she posted in2001, had it been circulated in print,would have fallen to pieces from overuseby now. Her article, “FunctionalRegulation: The Securitization ofBanking Law,” has been downloaded 491times at last count, a record so far amongCUA law faculty members.A Plan, a Product anda ProcessThe birth of new scholarship—fromthe mind to computer screen to publisher—canhappen in many ways.Every professor starts with a basic idea,but it needs careful honing and massagingbefore it is ready for primetime. No one wants to duplicate someoneelse’s work, of course, and as arule, academic professionals are keenlyaware of the state of research in theirchosen specialties.Some articles are drafted inresponse to a request from a law journalor other publisher. More often,however, the scholarship may beshopped by its author among potentialacademic outlets. The wait to see one’swork in print can be lengthy, sometimesa matter of several months.Generally this is dictated by how oftena journal publishes and how manyother previously accepted articles arestill in the pipeline.Fall–Winter 2008 / C UALAWYER 9

A P P R E C I A T I N G E R U D I T I O NSelected Faculty Publications from the Columbus School of LawAfew selected examples from among the superb body of scholarshipproduced by Catholic University law professors over thepast two years offers a sense of what they are writing about, whythey choose the topics they do, and how their work finds itsultimate home in the pages of an academic publicationProfessorMary Leary■ Formerly with Office of Legal Counsel,National Center for Missing andExploited Children■ Former director, National Center for theProsecution of Child Abuse■ Former assistant U.S. AttorneyLatest Work: “Self-Produced ChildPornography: The Appropriate Legal andSocietal Response to Juvenile SelfExploitation.” Virginia Journal of SocialPolicy & the Law 15 (2008): 1.Summary: Society needs to reconsiderits goals for juvenile adjudication andcriminal law as they relate to childpornography, specifically the problem of“self-produced” child pornographyimages that are not the result of anyadult request, coercion, luring or action.Judges and law enforcement are justbeginning to wrestle with this issue.Leary has observed that critical decisionsaffecting a juvenile’s welfare aresometimes made on an ad hoc basis.Her paper encourages authorities todevelop a more systemic approach tothe problem. It notes that that while peoplemay disagree over the best remediesfor the crime of child pornography, itsunderage victims deserve a betterthought-outapproach that provides consistencywithin the penological and juvenilejustice framework.Author’s Insight: “I wanted to point out theconflict between two important policies:our understanding of juveniles as less culpablethan adults, and our recognition ofchild pornography as a severe socialharm beyond just the child in the image. Itis tempting to remove the issue from juvenileadjudication and call it a parentingmatter, but that ignores the social harm ofthe images. However, to treat all theseinstances as criminal belies the specificfacts of each case. I wanted to make thepoint that blanket solutions in either directionare not helpful to a consistent policy.This is an issue in the field about which noone had written before.”Publication Process: Leary describes itas “quick and smooth,” the result of severaloffers.Peer Review: Leary hopes that hernewest work will be accepted bycolleagues as a thoughtful and interdisciplinaryapproach to a complex socialcriminalproblem. “These issues go wellbeyond just a criminal law analysis,”says Leary.ProfessorAmanda Leiter■ Former clean air litigator, NaturalResources Defense Council■ Former clerk, United States SupremeCourt Justice John Paul Stevens■ Master’s degrees in civil engineering andoceanography Fulbright FellowLatest Work: "Substance or Illusion? TheDangers of Imposing a StandingThreshold." Georgetown Law Journal 97(2008).Summary: The D.C. Circuit Court is vagueabout its legal threshold for acceptingsome cases that challenge the policies ofgovernment agencies. To win their day incourt, plaintiffs facing a risk of futureharm must establish that the alleged riskclears some indeterminate “sufficiency”or “substantiality” bar. Leiter argues thatthere is no theoretical reason to imposea substantiality-of-the-risk standingthreshold. Her paper builds a case thatsuch a threshold comes at a significantcost. It distracts courts from issues morerelevant to reviewability, and cloaks asubstantive encroachment on Congress’power to recognize injuries to regulatorybeneficiaries in the guise of a superficiallyobjective statistical analysis.Author’s Insight: “I worked on one of thecases discussed in the piece and wasvery frustrated with the D.C. Circuit’sapproach to its standing analysis in thatcase. The court imposes a standing10 CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

Thereis neither a theoretical nor a practical reasonto impose such a quantitative threshold.Doing so insulates demonstrably injuriousagency policies from review.”Publication Process: “This one wentquickly and smoothly, but was stressfulwhile the process was ongoing,” saysLeiter.Peer Review: Leiter produced her latestscholarship with a small and specific audiencein mind: the judges on the D.C.Circuit, rather than her academic colleagues.“I very much hope some of thejudges will consider the piece as theydevelop their standing jurisprudence in socalled‘increased risk’ cases,” she says.ProfessorAntonio Perez■ Life member: Councilon Foreign Relations■ Former legal adviser to U.S.Department of State■ Member of the Inter-AmericanJuridical Committee, OASLatest Article: “Consumer Protection inthe Americas: A Second Wave ofAmerican Revolutions?” St. Thomas LawReview (forthcoming 2009).Summary: The United States needs amore proactive policy for seekingdomestic and international legalreform in order to protect consumerinterests in Latin America. Well-intentionedbut counterproductive proposalsare being advanced by other countries,and more effective internationalconsumer protection is going tobecome essential to maintain politicalsupport for continued free trade anddemocracy promotion.Publishing Process: Perez was asked bythe St. Thomas Law Review to speak atits symposium on economic developmentand social justice in Latin America.The thesis of the speech and the resultingarticle flowed from his work on theInter-American Juridical Committee ofthe OAS.Peer Reviews: “This particular articleisn’t really directed to the academiccommunity,” says Perez. “However, Ihope it will be seen as a model for drawingon economic and political theory todevelop practical proposals for policymakers.”ProfessorMarin Scordato■ Teaches Tort Law, Advanced Torts andAgency Law■ Has published 10 law review articlesand a book review■ Three articles published in law journalsof Top 25 ranked law schools■ Co-author of a first-of-its-kind casebookon Theater LawLatest Article: “Understanding theAbsence of a Duty to ReasonablyRescue in American Tort Law.” TulaneLaw Review 82 (2008):1447.Summary: The absence in American tortlaw of a duty to reasonably aid astranger in peril is perplexing. It fails toaccurately articulate a conventionalsense of morality and appropriate socialbehavior. Scordato’s article offers a spiriteddefense and justification for the ‘noduty’ doctrine and establishes an understandingof the practical wisdom behindits seemingly amoral veneer.Author’s Insight: “I like that it takes aposition that on its face is at bestcounter-intuitive, and arguably evenrepugnant, and makes more sense of itthan the reader might expect. It's aninteresting challenge, in terms ofargument and rhetoric.”Publishing Process: Within three weeksof its distribution to law reviews in thespring of 2007, Scordato received 12offers of publication, including offersfrom the George Mason Law Review,the Maryland Law Review, theMissouri Law Review and the PennState Law Review, in addition to theoffer that he accepted from the TulaneLaw Review.Peer Reviews: The article made thetop 10 most downloaded articles listfor the SSRN’s Jurisprudence andTheoretical Inquiry, Law andPsychology and Law and Society journals.Scordato reports he receivedmany complimentary e-mail messagesand letters from various law profes-Fall–Winter 2008 / C UALAWYER 11

It explains how these six principlescan be better understood, andforges new intellectual links betweenprotection of the poor and protectionof the environment. Silecchia hopesthat her work may serve as “a newsource of unity between the Catholicview of environmental ethics and theview posited by many secular environmentalists.”Author’s Insight: “Increasing attentionis being paid to religion and its connectionwith the environment. I wantedto write forcefully about the need tokeep the human person, in particular,the poor person, front and center inenvironmental discussions. This papersuggests that well-reasoned concernfor the human person will have a directand beneficial impact on the naturalenvironment.”Publishing Process: No shopping needed.Because the paper was written inresponse to a conference invitation,there was a commitment by theUniversity of St. Thomas to publish thepaper in its law review even before itwas written. “The only complication wasthat Pope Benedict XVI has clearly madethis issue a priority,” Silecchia adds.“Every time I thought I had the papercompleted he spoke more extensivelyand insightfully on this question. Keepingup with him was a challenge.”Peer Reviews: Silecchia hopes that theenvironmental scholars who read herpaper will realize that religious andethical principles may inform theiranalysis of technical regulatory matters.Meanwhile, the Archdiocese ofWashington and Catholic CharitiesUSA each requested 25 copies of thearticle to circulate among their seniorstaffs. Cardinal Martino, president ofthe Pontifical Council of Justice andPeace, wrote to tell Silecchia that thearticle "will be very helpful to the workof this Pontifical Council."ProfessorKarla Simon■ Co-founder, The International Centerfor Civil Society Law■ Co-director, Center for InternationalSocial Development at CUA■ Author of many articles in the fields ofnot-for-profit organizations,taxation and administrative law, as wellas civil society generally■ Visiting professorships at PekingUniversity, Central EuropeanUniversity and the University ofBolognaLatest Article: “Regulation of CivilSociety in China: Necessary Changesafter the Olympic Games and theSichuan Earthquake.” Fordham Journalof International Law (forthcomingJanuary 2009).Summary: Professor Simon was invitedto participate in a symposium on theissues facing China after the Olympics.The luster and prestige accorded toChina as host of the quadrennial gameswas dimmed in the eyes of the internationalcommunity by disturbing reports ofrepression and violations of free speechand human rights. The country’s emergencypreparedness response to theSichuan earthquake on Aug. 30, 2008,was also seen by some other nations, as12CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

I think thatpeople who teach Chinese law in theWest will also be interested,” says Simon.ProfessorGeorge P. Smith■ Widely recognized expert in bioethicsand health law■ Founding faculty editor of CUA’sJournal of Contemporary HealthLaw and Policy■ Author of 14 books, 21 monographs and152 law review articles, book chaptersand essays■ Listed in Who's Who in the World andOutstanding Writers of the 20thCenturyLatest Article: “Policy Making and theNew Medicine: Managing a MagnificentObsession.” Journal of Health andBiomedical Law 3 (2008):3030.Summary: The work explores the extentto which new powers of medical technologyshould be welcomed and promoted,or curtailed and constrained bynotions of the “common good.” Forexample, there is much debate overwhether experiments on human cloningand stem cell research can be undertakenethically, even though there is greatpromise for using this research to combatvarious diseases and thus advancethe common good from the standpoint ofhealth care improvement.Author’s Insight: “My essay is on a topicfront and center in the press and on televisionalmost daily. It concludes thatadvancing and pursuing improved healthcare, through investigations into thewonders of the new medical technology,should be the paramount value for evaluatingthe acceptability of scientific studyand investigation. Effecting clear andbalanced policies in this area is very difficult.This essay is unique in its positionthat a balance of interests can indeed bereached.”Publishing Process: A breeze. Smith wasinvited by the journal to write on the topicof adapting public policy to new medicaltechnologies. Coincidentally, his latestessay was already in progress and thetiming was perfect. He submitted his workand, as has usually been the case in hisacademic career, the article was promptlyaccepted, edited and published.Peer Reviews: This latest article canonly enhance Smith’s stature as a singularthinker and writer in the field of legalbioethics. Reviews of his recent book,Distributive Justice and the NewMedicine, have set the tone for collegialacceptance with such comments as,“[Smith is] one of the world’s leadingexperts on the legal and ethical issuesraised by modern medicine,” and that hiswriting shows “insight and authority, andoffers a perspective that will influencethe policy debates.” Professor JonathanHerring of the University of Oxford hasobserved that Smith’s body of workbrings “important new insights into thecomplex area of health care resourcesand should be read by anyone in seekingto create a just society.”This is Who We AreThe collective body of scholarship produced by a law schoolfaculty is its professional thumbprint. It not only speaks authoritativelyabout the backgrounds and interests of individual professors,but it also helps to define an academic signature that ispersuasive to prospective students as they research law schools.The books, book chapters, reviews, monographs and law journalarticles produced by the faculty of the Columbus School ofLaw—its intellectual banner—make a powerful statement: Thisis who we are, and this is the kind of rigorous, reasoned andinnovative learning that we produce. That message is resonatingproud and clear across the world of legal higher education.Fall–Winter 2008 / C UALAWYER 13

R E P O R T F R O M T H E F I E L DANationinNeedHaiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. It faces intractable problems of poverty, joblessness, poorhealth, high infant mortality and extremely limited educational resources. In May 2008, Catholic University law professorJ. P. “Sandy” Ogilvy spent several days on a fact-finding trip to the West Indies Island. Accompanied by 2LNadjejda Nelson and Kurt Runge, a graduate student with the National Catholic School of Social Service, the teamaimed to assess the depth of Haiti’s problems firsthand and return with suggestions for how the Columbus Schoolof Law community can help. Professor Ogilvy shares his observations with readers of CUA Lawyer.22CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

R E P O R T F R O M T H E F I E L DA Thirst for EducationIt is a warm, humid May night in Jérémie, the seat ofthe sister diocese to the Archdiocese of Washington.Following my presentation, I have finished taking questionsfrom the law students of the École SupérieureCatholique de Droit de Jérémie, a private Catholic lawschool in Haiti’s 11th largest city. As they disburse, carryingdesks and chairs back to the classrooms from the openhall where we had been meeting, my attention is drawn tosmall groups of younger students seated on the edge of aplatform. They are reading and writing in notebooks,illuminated by the few florescent lights of the open-airclassroom. It took a moment, but I soon realized thatthese children were gathered in this place because therewas light here—thanks to the law school’s generator thatproduces electricity after the city’s power grid shuts downfor the evening. They were doing their homework fortomorrow’s classes, having walked from their homes toone of the few places in the city with light.So it is throughout the city. In the pockets whereNGOs have their offices and the ability to generate theirown electric power, elementary and secondary schoolchildren congregate in fierce determination to educatethemselves in the hope of lifting themselves and theircountry out of crippling poverty. They face enormousodds. Even on paper, education in Haiti is free and compulsoryonly for children between the ages of 6 and 11.The reality does not match those numbers. Access to educationis limited by school location, the scarcity of trainedteachers and the cost of school uniforms and supplies.Currently, most Haitian schools are private, educating upto 90 percent of the students.During our visit, we briefly observed students at twoschools sponsored by our host, the Rev. JomanasEustache, a parish priest of the Diocese of Jérémie.During the week, the old, wooden parish church serves asthe school for about 300 children from pre-schoolCrude wooden dividers transform a church into school for hundredsof Haitian children in the Diocese of Jérémie. Many of their basicschool supplies were donated by the CUA law community.through 6th grade. There is no soundproofing betweenthe class clusters or relief from the heat and humidity ofthe day. The second school we visited was constructedrecently through the efforts of Father Eustache. Thisschool also serves about 300 students ranging in age from4 to 17. Like the classes in the parish church, the classroomsconsist of a clustering of benches separated bypainted wooden blackboards. A second classroom forolder students was constructed nearby. It is a simple, openrectangular structure, protected from the sun and rain bya sheet-metal roof.We were very pleased to be able to deliver severalhundred dollars worth of pencils, pencil sharpeners, compositionbooks, chalk and erasers purchased for theschools with funds donated by faculty, staff and studentsof the Columbus School of Law, since we noted anabsence of even basic materials, not to mention textbooksand workbooks.Fall–Winter 2008 / C UALAWYER 23

R E P O R T F R O M T H E F I E L DLacking Healthand WealthEighty percent of Haiti’s population lives below thepoverty line. Two-thirds of all Haitians depend on theagricultural sector, mainly small-scale subsistence farming,which is increasingly at risk from the loss of agriculturalland to erosion caused by the country’s widespreaddeforestation.The area around Jérémie, however, abounds withlush tropical flora. Mango, banana, palm and lime treesare in abundance as are a profusion of tropical floweringplants. Still, the poverty of the area is evident. Most of thehouses we could see in the countryside were simple concreteblock structures topped with metal roofs, althoughmany houses were no more than thatched structures.There is no sanitary sewer system. It has been reportedthat nationally less than half of the population has accessto safe drinking water, and only 30 percent has access tosanitary sewer systems. Food preparation is frequentlydone on a small wood fire outside of the house.In our half of the globe, Haiti also ranks last in healthcare spending, about $83 annually per citizen. There areonly about 25 physicians and 11 nurses for every 100,000people. Only one in every four births is attended by askilled health professional. Most rural areas have noaccess to health care, making residents susceptible to otherwisetreatable diseases.During our short sojourn, we visited two privateorganizations that are making a difference in health carefor some Haitians. Hospice St. Joseph has been servingTwo-thirds of all Haitians depend on small-scale farming fortheir livelihoods. Arable land is disappearing from erosioncaused by the country’s widespread deforestation.the Christ Roi neighborhood of Port-au-Prince since1989. Its newest initiative, the Maternal and Child HealthClinic, will emphasize pediatric and OB/GYN servicesand provide health and nutrition education for localwomen. We delivered several hundred dollars worth ofchildren’s Tylenol, Ibuprofen and antibiotic cream purchasedwith funds donated by faculty, staff and students ofthe Columbus School of Law.The Haitian Health Foundation, founded in 1982with two volunteers performing simple dental extractions,has become one of the premier public health outreachagencies in the West Indies. It now provides fullserviceoutpatient/inpatient clinics and supports ruralclinics serving 104 mountain villages and more than200,000 people.The foundation faces a critical challenge: loweringmaternal mortality rates. Since the average Haitianhousehold is six persons, mostly children, the death ordisability of one mother has a direct and catastrophicimpact on the well-being of the family. The foundationreports that when a mother dies in childbirth, less than 10percent of the surviving infants live beyond their firstbirthday. The foundation’s Center of Hope is a primarycare clinic for prenatal and postnatal consultations andcare. It provides examinations, immunizations, nutritionalsupport and education for hundreds of women eachday. Services include regular newborn checkups for thefirst several years of life, food distribution, immunizations24CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

R E P O R T F R O M T H E F I E L DOpen air schools offer a humble yet vitaleducational start for young Haitians, whoinherit a country facing serious challenges.Professor Sandy Ogilvy, the director of Law and SocialJustice Initiatives for the Columbus School of Law,chose two well-qualified companions for his fact-findingtrip. Social work master’s candidate, Kurt Runge, spent2004–05 in Gros Marne, Haiti, where he worked as an Englishteacher, camp counselor and supervisor of a clean waterproject. Second-year law student Nadjejda Nelson spenttwo years in the Peace Corps in Mozambique, teachingEnglish and language skills to local children.and growth monitoring. The center houses a 20-bedinfant home to care for children with severe malnutritionand a maternal waiting home for at-risk women.They Want to Be LawyersThe law school in Jérémie shares space with a nursingschool. Nursing classes are held during the day, with lawschool classes beginning at 5 or 5:30 and going until 9 p.m.Electricity is generated by solar panels, with a gasolinepoweredgenerator taking over the task after dark.Students pay approximately $33 per month for their education,which can lead to licensing upon completion of thefour years of studies, preparation of a thesis and two yearsof part-time clerkship. In its 11-year history, the lawschool has graduated more than 100 students. Despite itswork, however, Jérémie has only six licensed attorneys inprivate practice.We got the impression that more students would ultimatelybecome licensed lawyers but for the significanthurdle posed by the thesis requirement. This major writtenwork requires research and writing skills for whichmany of the students have not been adequately preparedby the Haitian education system. It also demands access toresources not available at the law school and not readilyaccessible in Haiti.The need for more licensed lawyers in Haiti is evidencedby the inability of the criminal justice system toprocess persons arrested of crimes in a timely manner. OnJuly 31, 2008, for example, in a facility designed to hold 50,the jail in Jérémie held 169 prisoners, only 27 of whom hadbeen convicted; the rest were pre-trial detainees. Thedetainees had been confined in the jail for periods rangingfrom one month to three years.The Jérémie law school has responded to the crisis bytraining law students to provide assistance to prisonersunable to afford counsel, which includes prisoners. But trialsare scheduled only during two months each year andsometimes less frequently. A small number of Americanlaw schools have been involved in helping to provide skillstraining to the Haitian law students.The need for assistance of all kinds to the people ofJérémie was evident from our short visit. We plan to workwithin the Columbus School of Law and the broader universitycommunity to see what resources we can marshal toprovide much-needed help with legal education and legalservices; housing; sanitation; medical care and preventionservices; primary, secondary and professional education;economic development; and basic infrastructure improvement.Individuals who want to help may consider supporting suchorganizations as the Haitian Health Foundation, Caritas Haiti,and Fonkoze, a micro-credit bank.

Hours later as employeesstroll into the hallways, Quince has already preparedfor her oral arguments and conferences.Her diligence and discipline aren’t the onlycharacteristics that explain her ascension to aposition overseeing the state court system.“Her work ethic is strong,” is the opinionof colleague and friend Justice Barbara Pariente,who defines Quince as the epitome of collegiality.“She knows the art of disagreeing withoutremotely being disagreeable.”Quince is the 53rd chief justice of Florida’sState Supreme Court and the first black womanto lead the state’s court system or any branch ofstate government.Quince’s ability to make her mark onFlorida’s legal system has been legendary. Hertrailblazing career highlights a historical progressionfrom the days of the civil rights movementand is a testament of her ability to overcomeadversity.Peggy Quince was born in Norfolk, Va., onJan. 3, 1948, as the second oldest of five children:three girls and two boys. They were raisedby her single father who worked as a longshoreman.“He realized over the years that his life26CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

Boardof Education decision didn’t occur until 1954.Quince developed an interest in science andparticipated in science fairs while in high school.She intended on becoming a physician when sheentered Howard University in the mid- to late-1960s. She graduated with a B.S. degree inZoology in 1970, but was struck by the tumultuouscivil rights movement while attending thepredominantly-black school.“All across the country people were ‘sittingin.’ It was that type of event that shifted my focusfrom medicine.”Quince mulled over attending law schooland medical school and ended up taking admissionentrance examinations for both. She ultimatelychose to attend The Catholic Universityof America’s law school, which she says was herfirst integrated school.“That prepared me,” Quince recalls,“because that was the situation that I would dealwith in the workforce.”She took many constitutional law-basedcourses that she later found useful in practice. Shewas active in Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity andthe Black American Law Students Association,and was recognized for her work with the lawschool’s Neighborhood Legal Services Clinics,according to her court biography.Quince graduated with a J.D. degree in1975, but found it difficult as a black woman tofind a position at a law firm.“You get a ‘no’ to an application, you moveon to the next one,” she explains.

She ended up starting her career as arent-control hearing officer in Washington,D.C. A few years later she entered private practicein Norfolk, focusing on real estate anddomestic relations.She recalls facing prejudice in the first courtcase she handled. “I walked to the podium andthe judge said ‘Who are you? The defendant?’ ”she says. However, Quince learned not to let itset her back. If you do, she believes, “You areplaying in to someone else’s hands.”Quince opened an office and practiced civillaw when she moved to Florida in 1978.

Quince wound up spending 13years there, five as the Tampa bureau chief andanother three years closely focused on death penaltycases.Her historical career rise began in 1993. Shebecame the first black woman appointed to one ofthe state’s district courts of appeals. In 1997, anunprecedented event occurred. Outgoing Gov.Lawton Chiles, a Democrat, and then-governorelectJeb Bush, a Republican, found themselves atodds as to who would select the replacement forretiring State Supreme Court Justice Ben Overton.Overton’s final day fell just before Bush’s swearing-inceremony. The two governors decided toavoid what could have turned into a bitter legal fightby sharing the duty of finding his successor. Theyseparately interviewed four finalists. In the end, theyboth concluded that Quince should take the benchas the court’s 79th justice. They jointly named her tothe position on Dec. 8, 1998.Nearly 10 years later, her colleagues unanimouslyelected her to succeed Justice R. Fred Lewisas the state’s chief justice, making Quince the thirdwomen to serve in the position. Justices RosemaryBurkett and Barbara Pariente are her predecessors.The role of chief justice, Pariente explains,“entails frequent travel for meetings and speeches,going through the enormous piles of paper involvedin managing a branch of government,dealing constantlywith the leaders of the otherbranches, as well as working onthe cases that come to ourcourt.”Quince’s two-year termbegan July 1. She assumed therole of the court’s leader duringa time of unusual transition.Two justices recently retired,and two more are expected toleave their positions next yeardue to Florida’s mandatoryretirement age. In addition toacclimating to new fellowjurists, Quince also has to dealwith budget challenges in thecourt system as a result ofspending cuts.Quince is committed tocontinuing former JusticeLewis’ work with the mentally ill and helping fosterchildren. Pariente says she and Quince share a passionfor visiting facilities around the state that treatyouths in trouble.

ONE PERSON MAKESA DifferenceTrading his medic’s kit for abriefcase, Patrick Campbellcontinues to safeguard thehealth and interests of hisfellow veterans.Politico/John ShinkleCombat Medic Pumps New Life Supportinto Veterans’ Educational GoalsPatrick Campbell, 2008, survived a year in thekilling zones of Iraq, only to return to placehimself in the line of fire again. This time, hechose a different kind of battle, braving the politicallandmines, trip wires and grenade-throwing ofhigh-stakes lobbying on Capitol Hill.On the home front, Campbell can truly say“mission accomplished”—most of it, anyway. Aschief legislative counsel to Iraq and AfghanistanVeterans of America, the nation’s newest andarguably most effective lobbying force on behalf ofveterans currently in action, Campbell has enjoyedthe satisfaction of seeing his country offer a ‘newdeal’ to returning veterans who chose to interrupttheir educations to serve their nation in uniform.The victory is known as the VeteransEducation Tuition Support act, introduced inCongress in June 2007. By now most of its majorprovisions have become law, thanks in large part tothe ceaseless and effective advocacy of Campbelland his organization.The law now offers new protections to studentswho were forced to leave school for militarydeployment: guaranteed reenrollment at theschool they left; 13 months to reenroll in schoolafter a deployment before being charged for anystudent loans; and a cap on interest rates for studentloan debt during deployments.The fight for the new law was an intenselypersonal one for Campbell. Originally scheduled tograduate from the Columbus School of Law in2006, his J.D. was postponed when, as a memberof the Army National Guard, he was deployed toIraq to serve as a combat medic.“The hardest part was putting my life on holdfor over a year,” he recalls. “I did not graduate withmy 1L classmates, I missed weddings and birthdays,my girlfriend couldn’t handle the separation30CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

and my mother cried every time I called her.”Upon his return, Campbell was startled, thenoutraged by the treatment he received from his studentloan lender, which demanded that he begin topay up on the $35,000 he had already borrowed for adegree not yet completed.“For three months I received harassing phonecalls and could not get them to stop, no matter howmany forms I filled out,” Campbell explains. “I felt asthough I was being punished because I served mycountry. When I asked for my service to be consideredas mitigating factor, I was told, ‘If you don’t likeour rules, then change the law.’”So he did. Campbell spent his third year of lawschool drafting a veteran’s protection bill that doubledas his thesis for the Law and Public Policy Program.His draft was picked up by a fellow CUA law alumnusworking for Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), and aftersome linguistic polishing, S.1718, the VETS bill, wasintroduced. While Campbell is the bill’s first drafter,he credits the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans ofAmerica with tirelessly pushing the measure uphillthrough Congress.“We are unique in addressing the needs of thecurrent generation of service members by being anenergizing force for veterans issues on Capitol Hill, amedia savvy voice representing the challenges facingcurrent service members and an online communityresource helping a geographically diffuse populationof veterans build a community and organize on keyissues,” says Campbell.Campbell himself was one of the savvy mediavoices. He never wasted an opportunity to make thecase for updated veterans’ benefits before the public.Campbell appeared on CNN, MSNBC and othertelevision networks. He phoned in to national radioprograms, was profiled in a half-dozen newspapersand testified before congressional committees.His message was consistent and compelling:America’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are beingfought by less then 1 percent of the population. Manycivilians do not understand the level of sacrificerequired from service members and their families.America must be ready to take care of those who haverisked their lives on its behalf when they return home.“Service members and their families, includingme, are still suffering from the effects of combatstress injuries and many have not accessed the carethat they need,” says Campbell. “We need to ensurethat every returning veteran is required to see alicensed counselor when they return. We must build aculture where military heroes understand that seekinghelp is the normal reaction to extraordinary events.”Like so many other veterans, Campbell is hauntedby the overwhelming experiences of death and blood,which he fears are branded into memory forever.“I cope with my struggles by keeping myselfbusy at a breakneck pace. I survived by balancingstudying, personal time and seeking help throughcounseling and church. So maybe I am still back whereI started … working hard to stay busy, but at least I amhelping a few fellow veterans along the way.”Despite the passage of the VETS bill into law,there are other unfinished items for the drivenA newcomer among veterans lobby groups, IAVA has quicklychalked up some impressive legislative victories on Capitol Hill.lawyer-lobbyist. IAVA is hard at work on its 2009legislative agenda, and pressing issues include sufficientfunding for the VA health care system, improvingthe disability claims process and streamlining andsimplifying the new post 9/11 GI Bill.There is also one major provision fromCampbell’s VETS bill that has yet to make it into law:mandatory tuition refunds for unfinished classeswhen a student deploys.For Patrick Campbell, a certified sharpshooterwith the M-16A2 rifle, this unfinished legislative goalis another attainable target. “I will have to turn up theheat on this issue even more over the next twoyears,” he predicts.Fall–Winter 2008 / C UALAWYER 31

CUA LAWLeadersMr. Presidentby Tom HaederleAlthough a number of CUA law alumni have served as presidents of their respective state barassociations over the years, 2009 will mark the first time that two alumni have held the positionat the same time. Richard Pacia, 1978, is the current president of the Rhode Island BarAssociation; his term will overlap with that of Thomas Cardaro, 1985, who will assume thepresidency of the Maryland Bar Association in June.Richard A. Pacia, 1978Principal, Richard A. Pacia LawAssociatesPawtucket, Rhode IslandAn Activist LeaderThe way Richard Pacia seesit, the goals of the 5,600–member, 110-year-old RhodeIsland bar are the goals of lawyerseverywhere.“I think the bar has a larger rolein promoting our profession’s commonvalues, such as access to justice,diversity, judicial independence,unjust criticism of the bench, civiceducation, creating and funding legalservice programs, and membershipbenefits,” says Pacia, who assumedthe presidency in 2008.Still, it may not be possible forPacia and the 49 other state bar associationpresidents to avoid dealingwith more contentious legal issues,such as immigration, tort reform,same-sex marriage, malpractice capsand the future composition of theUnited States Supreme Court—topicsthat cleave the legal community justas surely as they do society at large.All 50 state bar presidents are hopingto meet with the newly-electedpresident of the United States to discusstheir joint recommendationsregarding some of these hot-buttonissues. The meeting would be the firstof its type since 1961, when PresidentKennedy received the group.Pacia acknowledges it could besomething of a tightrope walk. “It isdifficult for bar associations to takepositions on political issues due to therestraints imposed by the Keller decision,”he said, referring to the 1990Supreme Court decision that held thatattorneys who are required to bemembers of a state bar associationhave a First Amendment right torefrain from subsidizing the organization’spolitical or ideological activities.“But on these types of issues,”Pacia continued, “we can still play apart in providing a forum for informeddialogue and discussion withoutbeing partisan.”The agenda for the presidentialaudience may be different this time,but the legal profession’s commitmentto justice burns as hot as ever,Pacia believes. He has consistentlydemonstrated such a commitmentthroughout his own career.The recipient of the Rhode IslandBar Association’s Pro Bono PublicoAward in 1994, as well as its ContinuingService Award in 2003, Pacia has alsobeen a member of the state’s VolunteerLawyer Program since 1986.“The need for pro bono serviceshas never been greater. The economyis in turmoil and people are hurting,”says Pacia. “We need to instillin attorneys that pro bono work is ablessing, not a burden.”He has been deeply active in hisstate’s bar association for manyyears, chairing CLE committees, producingtopical seminars for membersand serving on several other committees.Pacia is a fellow of the RhodeIsland Bar Foundation and theAmerican Bar Foundation, foundingdirector and past president of theJustinian Law Society, and foundingdirector and past secretary of the St.Thomas More Society.His belief in the merit of joiningorganizations may stem from his earliestyears as a professional, when he openeda solo practice. “I would take any casethat walked in the door,” he recalls.The uncertainty of those firstyears taught Pacia a lesson, one thatas president he takes every opportunityto share with young attorneys.“In today’s competitive legal environment,being involved in bar activitiesis no longer a luxury, it is a necessity.You need to get involved!”32CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

Thomas C. Cardaro, 1985Partner, Cardaro & Peek, LLCBaltimore, MarylandCivility in PracticeLawyers that scheme, backstab,undermine and in general makelife miserable for opposing counselare a Hollywood staple. Andthat’s where Tom Cardaro would liketo keep such misleading images ofthe profession he loves—in the imaginationsof scriptwriters and far awayfrom real courtrooms.“Reinforcement of the value ofcivility and collegiality in the practiceof law is something which shouldalways be stressed,” says Cardaro,who will become president of theMaryland State Bar Association inJune 2009. “We need to get beyondthe time when ferociousness wasseen as strength in an attorney.Rather, a great attorney can be tenacious,yet civil and collegial to his orher opponent.”Cardaro intends to make emphasison collegiality in everyday practicea hallmark of his one-year term inoffice. Incivility is not something hehas personally experienced as anurgent problem between attorneys;nonetheless, one hears stories nowand again. Cardaro is proud that theMaryland state bar has addressedthe issue head-on by sponsoring professionalprograms designed tostress the importance of mutualrespect between lawyers.“I think that collegiality is, insome measure, a progress made overthe years,” he said.A prominent trial attorney recognizedas a skilled leader in Maryland’slegal community, Cardaro is well suitedto lead by example. For starters, heis no newcomer, having stayed deeplyinvolved in state bar activities since1985. The 23 years have brought himinto contact with many fellow attorneysoutside of his area of practice,allowed him to build good relationshipswith members of judiciary, tokeep abreast of the latest developmentsin law and take advantage ofcontinuing legal education opportunities.“I am convinced that stayingactive in bar activities makes one abetter attorney,” he says.Cardaro began his career as anassociate with the law firm Smith,Somerville & Case. In 1990, hebecame a partner at Klores &Cardaro, P.C. (known as Klores &Associates prior to 1992) where heremained for nine years. In 1999, hefounded what is known now asCardaro & Peek, LLC. His law practicefocuses on medical malpracticeand catastrophic personal injury.Cardaro has belonged to variousMSBA committees over the years,served two terms on the board ofgovernors, is a member of the executivecommittee and most recentlyheld the office of secretary. He hasalso served as president of the barassociation of Baltimore City in 2004and remains active in it today. On thenational front, Cardaro is also activein the American Bar Association.Unlike his fellow alumnus inRhode Island, however, Cardaro seeshot national legal issues taking a backseat to more local concerns amongmembers of the Maryland bar.“The important thing is that thestate bars must always remember theconstituency they are serving so thattheir rank-and-file members have theirneeds met on a day-to-day basis.”Cardaro is also highly visible as alecturer. He speaks frequently at trialpractice/medical malpractice seminarson everything from trial tacticsto the evaluation of cases. He is atrustee and member of the financecommittee of the bar associationinsurance trust and a board memberof the Baltimore Courthouse & LawMuseum Foundation, in addition toother civic activities.Why would someone as busy asTom Cardaro take on yet anotherdemanding job, heading his profession’srepresentative organization fora year? The answer, he says, isn’tcomplicated.“I look at serving as president ofthe Maryland State Bar Associationas a payback for a profession thathas been very good to me.”Columbus School of Law State Bar PresidentsThomas C.

REMARKABLEEventsRemarkable Events Inspiring Tomorrow’s Leadersat The Catholic University of America Columbus School of LawAn Outraged Cry at InjusticeSeptember 16 — If the state of Texas executes Alfred Dewayne Brown, it will be killing aninnocent man, said Brian Stolarz, 1998. He and three colleagues at the law firm of K & L Gateshave devoted two years and more than 1,000 pro bono hours on behalf of Brown, a mentallyretarded man who was convicted and sentenced to death in 2005 for a convenience storerobbery that resulted in two shooting deaths, one of them a police officer. Invited to speak bythe Criminal Law Society, the Legal Services Society, the CUA Innocence Project and theCouncil on Professional Conduct Education Committee, the CUA law alumnus wove a spellbindingnarrative of a justice system gone terribly awry. He recounted evidence ignored,manipulated or suppressed during Brown’s trial and vowed to press on in his effort to win anappeals hearing.Challenging Popular MisconceptionsSeptember 17 — Don’t blame international trade for lost jobs. In truth, exports are practicallythe only source of current growth in the country’s private sector. That observationwas offered by Ambassador Charlene Barshefsky, former United States trade representative,senior international partner at WilmerHale and the speaker invited to give the40th Annual Pope John XXIII Lecture at the Columbus School of Law. Barshefsky, a1975 alumna, discussed “Six Phenomena that Bear on the Politics of Trade andGlobalization.” The former Clinton Administration cabinet member displayed a knack forturning conventional wisdom on its head. Stagnant economic times? “The world isgrowing at a torrid pace. It has no historic parallel,” Barshefsky said, noting that theworld’s gross economic output grew tenfold from 1950 to 2000, an explosion of productionand wealth that has no precedent in recorded history.A Glimpse From the Owner’s BoxSeptember 24 — Millions of professional football fans tune in each Sunday for the splash,razzle and dazzle of the NFL in action. But behind the athletes and coaches and invisible tothe fans is a complex, delicately balanced, expensive and profitable business model thatbrings the nation’s most popular sport to the adoring public. CUA law alumnus MichaelBidwill, 1990, is president of the Arizona Cardinals, owned by his family. Hosted by theSports and Entertainment Law Society, Bidwill spent an hour speaking with students aboutwhat’s really involved in running a professional football team. During a talk punctuated withslides, he covered such issues as how contract negotiations are handled, developing afranchise, contracts with vendors, broadcast rights, travel arrangements for the team andother topics, including how to handle fan hooliganism in the stands.34CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

Assessing the Legacy of an Apostolic LetterOctober 3 to 4 — A year in the planning, a two-day conference of scholars, theologians,law professors and others urged a careful reconsideration of a woman’s place in theworld and of her unique contributions to society. At the center of the new analysis wasMulieris Dignitatem, an apostolic letter written by Pope John Paul II in 1988 that wasthe first of its kind devoted entirely to the subject of women. It addressed the challengeof contemporary feminism with a theological reflection on the meaning of womanhood,the vocation of women, and the role of women in the Church and in society. Twentyyears after its issuance, many of the conferees said the letter’s prescient themes cryfor attention more urgently than ever. Instead of freedom, argued the keynote speaker,the cultural revolution has instead brought the fragmentation of society, with concurrentrises in the incidence of divorce, depression and suicide.AP PHOTO/CLAUDIO LUFFOLIA Tutorial Behind the HeadlinesOctober 27 — Catholic University law students were exposed to a half-dozeninformed points of view on the current financial crisis at a town hall discussionabout the financial meltdown and sub-prime lending mess that lies beneath it.The brainchild of the law school’s Dean Veryl Miles, the 90-minute eventoffered the expertise of faculty professors, private sector attorneys, public relationsprincipals and others on such questions as: What was missing from theregulatory structure? What is the government doing about it? What financingactivities led to the meltdown? And, perhaps the paramount question to mostin the audience, how will it impact our lives? The program’s moderator,Professor David Lipton, said that no single cause bears sole responsibility forthe daily drumbeat of depressing economic news. “The meltdown was theresult of the confluence of a variety of events,” he stated. “Collectively, theycreated a ‘perfect cataclysm’ of negative financial trends.”A Class in Hard ChoicesNovember 6 — Represent clients long enough, and eventually a case will arise in every lawyer’s career that confronts themwith difficult, confusing and even morally ambiguous choices. “Counseling Clients Who Confront Complex and CompetingObligations,” a two-hour panel presentation illustrated with compelling casestudies, offered law students the wisdom and experience of four distinguishedlegal practitioners who gave advice on how a lawyer should proceed, and whatshould guide his or her decision making, when handling a client who is facingmoral or ethical conflicts. The ethics symposium was proposed by the lawschool’s Dean Veryl Miles and realized by Professor William Wagner, director ofThe Center for Law, Philosophy and Culture. Professor Stephen Goldman, oneof the discussants, offered a parting thought: “Sometimes the right thing to dois clear simply because of the kind of people we want to be,” he said.Fall-Winter 2008 / C UALAWYER 35

GUESS WHO’S Coming to Lunch?Speakers So Good It’s a CrimeIt’s a well-kept secret, though not onthe fourth floor of the ColumbusSchool of Law. For many years, themonthly faculty luncheon—a convivialsocial occasion cherished by most professors—hasbeen graced by a seriesof speakers of the sort that theSmithsonian might assemble as anevening lecture program for members.Fortunate Catholic University lawprofessors need only show up, fill theirplates, take a seat and listen to sometruly outstanding professionals, courtesyof the vision of Professor DavidLipton who founded the “facultyexplorations luncheon” program in1986. Since then he has devoted enormoustime, energy and creativity toinviting an amazingly diverse array ofguests over that time.Teenage friends, ProfessorMarin Scordato and nationallyrenowned crime fiction writerGeorge Pelecanos (right) werereunited when the novelistspoke informally at a facultyluncheon in September.Renowned crime fiction writerGeorge Pelecanos was the latest professionalstar to drop by and chatwith professors. The nationally knownauthor of more than a dozen novels setin the Washington, D.C., area, as wellas the chief writer for the acclaimedHBO series “The Wire,” Pelecanoswas invited to speak on Sept. 18 by hisold friend Professor Marin Scordato, afaculty member who has assumedresponsibility for the speaker seriesduring the fall 2008 semester and possiblybeyond. Growing up together inthe Maryland suburbs, the two menhave known each other since middleschool.Pelecanos spent 15 minutes talkingabout how the experiences of hisyouth inform his novelistic ideas andcharacters today. He explained to thefaculty audience that when a newnovel is in full bloom, he cannot stepaway from the book until it is finished,even at the cost of having to skip vacationswith his family.Such luncheons have long providedCUA law professors with fascinating,albeit brief, glimpses into otherprofessions and worlds with whichthey normally would have little contact.The Scordato-Pelecanos teenagesocial circle includes another chumfrom those years who was invited tospeak in October, documentary producerand investigative reporter RickYoung, who has had more than 15 ofhis programs air on PBS’s “Frontline.”His work has garnered five Emmynominations, and his stories and commentarieshave appeared on NationalPublic Radio and in The New YorkTimes, The Washington Post and TheBaltimore Sun.36CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2008

Author Elaine Shannon offeredprofessors a thrilling cloakand-daggerbackdrop to herexposé of spy Robert PhilipHanssen, the most damagingFBI agent in American history.“I had not seen nor heard of anythingquite like the faculty luncheonseries before coming to CatholicUniversity,” said Scordato. “I quicklycame to think of it, and still do, as beingamong its most charming qualities.”Speakers have ranged across abroad spectrum of interests and activities.Recent years have included talksfrom the dean of the School of ForeignService at Georgetown University; theattorney general of the District ofColumbia; Murry Sidlin, dean ofCatholic University’s Benjamin T. RomeSchool of Music and a guest conductorfor many of the most prestigiousorchestras in the world; and ElaineShannon, a former Time magazine correspondentwho covered the nation’sintelligence apparatus for many years.The mood is relaxed at the monthlyfaculty luncheons, with an emphasison curious discovery rather than intellectualheavy lifting. The program doesnot always feature a live guest. In1993, for example, faculty membersspent one luncheon taking the Myers-Briggs personality type indicator test.The following year, they devoted all oftheir time to a tutorial on how to navigatethe blossoming Internet.Invited speakers have often includedfellow legal educators, but manyjournalists, high political appointees andothers have come by to speak as well.Former Washington Post columnist andnationally known peace activist ColmanMcCarthy spoke in 2000; Dr. EdmundTramont, who directs the nation’s AIDSresearch program at the NationalInstitutes of Health, visited in 2005; andformer White House chief of staff (andadviser to the President Obama transitionteam) John Podesta joined the facultylunch for a chat in 2003.Law school professors may notalways know what luminary to expectat the next monthly lunch, but theyhappily anticipate what the final gatheringof the year will bring. In additionto founding the speaker series,Professor Lipton has instituted thetreasured tradition of devoting eachDecember’s luncheon to the reading ofpoetry. Faculty members may readpersonal favorites, recite from memoryor even from their own works,which sound a lot less like subheadingsfrom the Federal Criminal Codethan one might imagine.Poems such as “Thanks, RobertFrost” by David Ray, suggested byProfessor Faith Mullen in 2007 andread aloud by Professor Ted Sky, arelullabies in prose, a lovely and peacefulway to draw a semester to its close.Do you have hope for the future?someone asked Robert Frost, toward the end.Yes, and even for the past, he replied,that it will turn out to have been all rightfor what it was, something we can accept,mistakes made by the selves we had to be…—David RayFall–Winter 2008 / C UALAWYER 37
