faculty news - College of Law - University of Illinois at Urbana ...

I would like to take the opportunity to express my
appreciation for the Board of Visitors Scholarship
that I received. It is quite an honor to be given this
prestigious award.
The financial burden involving with beginning a
legal career is almost overwhelming; this scholarship
is immensely helpful in defraying some of my costs.
As an out-of-state student from Cleveland, Ohio, my
costs further increased with the distance that I had to
move to come to Champaign and my residency status.
Without this scholarship, I most likely would not
have been able to afford the out-of-state tuition in
combination with other costs, and thus would have
never been able to pursue my education here at the
University of Illinois. This gift has made a difference
in my life and has allowed me to attend a leading
institution which would have otherwise been out of
my reach and I am immensely grateful.
Although I entered the school year thinking that I
knew the area of law I wanted to pursue, I now find
myself questioning it after learning from spectacular
professors and attending wonderful events that have
opened my eyes to so many different areas that the
law covers. The professors have challenged and excited
me and I am thankful to be in this position.
Again, thank you for the scholarship. I have only
begun to experience all of the amazing opportunities
that the College has to offer, within and outside of
the classroom, and I look forward to contributing to
the University throughout the next three years.
Sincerely,
Lauren Gallagher

To Our Alumni,
It’s official. I’m past the halfway mark of my first year in
law school and I have not only survived but also thrived
(at least we’ll see after I start taking a couple of final
exams). I just wanted to say thanks to you and to the Board
of Visitors for your collective support in bringing me here
to the University of Illinois. It’s so refreshing to see a group
of men and women who care so much for others. It’s not
just their financial support that move this work along, but
their ardent enthusiasm toward the College of Law. I
would like to extend my gratitude to our alumni and the
Board of Visitors for their efforts. Thanks to each of you
and the Board, small-town kids from Idaho are getting big
opportunities to succeed.
Thank you so much!

SUPPORT THE COLLEGE WITH A NAMED
FACULTY SCHOLAR POSITION
Alumni and friends can positively influence the College of Law’s efforts to recruit and retain the nation’s best
faculty through a donation creating a named faculty scholar position. A $500,000 endowment gift or a sixyear,
$20,000 annual gift, allows the College to provide a named scholar position to deserving faculty members.
The College is currently seeking interested alumni to assist in funding four endowed faculty scholar
positions. For information on this program and other endowment opportunities, please contact Jeff Coates,
Assistant Dean for Development and Alumni Relations, at (217) 333-2628.
The message below demonstrates the value of a Faculty Scholar position, as reflected in this letter from
Associate Dean Ralph Brubaker, who recently held the Mildred Van Voorhis Jones Faculty Scholar position.
To: Mr. Lott H. Thomas, Esq.
Thomas, Mamer, and Haughey
Mr. William F. McCarty
Tuscola, Illinois
RE: The Mildred Van Voorhis Jones Faculty Scholar
Gentlemen,
This week, I officially rotated out of my Faculty Scholar position at the College of Law, and I didn’t want that
occasion to pass without sending you a short note expressing my sincere gratitude for the generous funding of
this position. These Faculty Scholar positions are enormously valuable to both the faculty occupying them and to
the College of Law, and we are extremely lucky to have the financial support making them possible.
For me, the most invaluable aspect of the Faculty Scholar position has been the release time from teaching it has
provided, allowing me to devote additional energies to my scholarly research and writing. To give you an idea of
how helpful this has been to my scholarly endeavors, I have enclosed copies of all my publications during the past
two years (with the exception of my new casebook and accompanying teacher’s manual, which will not be in print
until later this month and for which I’ve enclosed only the title pages and tables of contents). I’m extremely proud
of this body of work and am especially proud that it all bears my designation as the Mildred Van Voorhis Jones
Faculty Scholar.
For the College of Law, I think the most valuable aspect of the Faculty Scholar positions is their great versatility in
fostering scholarly excellence among our faculty. In my case, Dean Hurd’s offer of a Faculty Scholar position was
instrumental in convincing me to leave Emory Law School and return to my alma mater, and these positions are
also an extremely useful device for retaining mid-level faculty being courted by other law schools. In other cases,
Faculty Scholar positions are a way to jump-start a promising scholarly career interrupted by administrative or
other responsibilities. In others, it is an effective interim reward/incentive instrument for faculty on a path toward
a permanent endowed position. The rotating nature of the Faculty Scholar position makes it a multifaceted tool for
encouraging scholarly excellence.
I am extremely grateful for your having facilitated the Van Voorhis Jones Estate, which funded my Faculty Scholar
position and for your continuing support of Dean Hurd, as she inspires the entire College of Law community to
strive for excellence in all we do.
With gratitude,
Ralph Brubaker
Associate Dean

The College of Law Faculty-
Visible, Productive Teachers and Scholars
Our cover story "Book Smart" in this edition of the Jurist focuses on
the faculty’s remarkable scholarly productivity as exemplified this
year by its prolific publication of field-defining books (see page 16). If
you walk into the lobby of the College's Deans' Suite the first thing
you will see is a large bookcase displaying dozens and dozens of
books on a wide variety of legal topics. This bookcase does more
than provide decoration and stimulation for captive visitors waiting
to meet with one of the College's academic administrators: it tells the
story of the University of Illinois College of Law--a story that reflects
decades of path-breaking work by many of the nation's leading legal
scholars. And the legacy continues!
In the last year, the Illinois law faculty has
penned 38 new books in fields ranging
from conservation to constitutional law,
bankruptcy, health law and medical malpractice,
elder law, criminal law, corporate
law, labor law, cybersecurity, family
wealth management, internet and computer
law, family law, art law, dispute
resolution, and even a College
Administrator's Survival Guide.
As if writing books weren't enough, however,
the College of Law's faculty contin- Dean Heidi M. Hurd
ues to place 7th in the nation in the production
of highly influential articles and reviews (see page 14), as
measured by the number of works submitted to, and downloaded
from, the Social Science Research Network (SSRN)--the database
which stores virtually all papers, essays, and articles produced by law
professors in America.
In addition to writing books and articles that affect how legislators,
judges, policy makers, and other academics think about cutting edge
topics in law, our faculty blog sites average nearly 4,000 daily visitors,
Illinois faculty are quoted frequently in national media outlets such
as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, New York Times,
National Public Radio, ABC-TV, CNBC, and ESPN and we host our own
statewide television show, "Illinois Law" featuring the College’s faculty
(see page 14).
And if one worries that the faculty’s preoccupation with advancing
knowledge comes at the price of imparting it, rest assured that the
faculty is tremendously committed to excellence in the classroom.
Indeed, during the past 16 years in which the University of Illinois has
presented campus-wide Excellence in Graduate and Professional
Teaching Awards, law faculty members have won the award eight
times (with two additional honorable mentions!). In short, almost a
quarter of the law school’s faculty have been celebrated for being
among the very best teachers on a campus that has 3,000 faculty!
In March, 2006, Leiter’s Law School Reports stated that it was "hard
pressed to think of a law school more completely transformed in the
last few years than Illinois." And indeed, over the past four years,
thirteen new tenured and tenure-track faculty members have joined
the College’s already-renowned faculty, including eleven lateral hires
who brought with them impressive national reputations developed at
other top-ranked law schools. Today, the faculty of the College of
Law is one of the most energetic, ambitious, hard-working, dedicated,
collaborative faculties in the nation with "fire in the belly" for
making Illinois a premier center for the study of law.
It is my greatest honor to be a member of the Illinois faculty, and I
very much hope that you enjoy reading about my colleagues’ remarkable
work.

The Guy Raymond Jones
Chair
The creation of the prestigious Guy
Raymond Jones Chair in Law was
made possible by a generous estate
gift from Mildred Van Voorhis
Jones in memory of her father. Mr.
Jones was a member of the Class of
1902, and was thus one of the earliest
graduates of the College of
Law after its founding in 1897.
Born in 1881 on a farm south of
Arcola, Illinois, Guy Raymond
Jones moved to the nearby community
of Tuscola at the age of five
and resided there until his death in
1947. He opened a law office in
the community one month after
being admitted to the Illinois bar
in 1902, at the age of 21.
Mr. Jones served as master in
chancery of Douglas County
Circuit Court for 27 years. At the
time of his death, his service in this
capacity was believed to be one of
the longest records of its kind in
Illinois. For many years, he served
on the Republican county committee
and was a member of the
party's state central committee for
eight years. A civil law attorney, he
remained in active practice until
just a few months before his death.
His daughter, Mildred, was born in
1906 in Tuscola. She graduated
from the University of Illinois in
1929 and worked as a farm manager.
She died in March 2000 in
Champaign at the age of 93. Today,
her substantial endowment gift to
the College of Law supports several
chair, professorship, and faculty
scholar positions.

Workman, who have devoted more than 40 years of
philanthropic service to the University of Illinois.
Through commitments in their estate plans as well as
outright support, the Workmans previously established

a Research Fund and an Endowed Chair in Law, both of
which bear their names. Each of these important commitments
will sustain faculty excellence in research and
teaching for many years. In addition to their tremendous
gifts to the College of Law, they have also generously
supported the University's Spurlock Museum
through the creation of the H. Ross and Helen
Workman Gallery and the World Heritage Museum.
Prior to graduating from the College of
Law in 1949, Ross came to Champaign by
way of Harmony, Minnesota, where he met
Helen, an elementary school teacher who had earned
her degree from the University of Minnesota. Ross is
also a 1947 graduate of the University of Illinois
College of Commerce (now College of Business). He
arrived at the University following World War II service
in the Air Corps, where he spent two and a half years
in the South Pacific. He went on to become a
Lieutenant Colonel in the JAG Reserves before retiring
in 1964.
Ross' educational and military experience
led to a distinguished career with the Allstate
Insurance Company. He began with Allstate in 1955 as
a National Real Estate Manager, handling legal work
and zoning cases across the country. Ross retired from
Allstate in 1982 as Vice President of Real Estate and
Construction, and was awarded the College's
Distinguished Alumnus Award that same year.
In mid-August, the College of
Law welcomed the incoming
Class of 2009 with two full
days of introductions, meetings,
and paperwork to fully
prepare students for the rigorous
task ahead as first-year
law students.

(CNST) and the IGPA.
Professor Wilson's engaging lecture explored definitional issues
raised by nanotechnology, as well as difficulties with regulating
it as a single technology, and asked whether existing federal regulations
adequately address the novel properties associated with
nanomaterials and products. More broadly, her lecture also
reviewed how precisely society can regulate a technology that is
in its infancy.

IN THE BIG APPLE
College of Law hits New York City thanks to alum Steven Molo '82
March 15 was a special evening in a special
place for the College of Law.
It was a special evening because the College
hosted its best-ever attended reception for newlyadmitted
students and alumni in the New York area.
The College of Law reach to the east coast reflects its
ever-increasing national reputation. With alumni
associated with prominent New York law firms and
investment banks such as Shearman
& Sterling, Cravath Swaine &
Moore, White & Case, Sullivan &
Cromwell, Debevoise & Plimpton,
LeBoeuf Lamb, and Goldman Sachs,
the Illinois College of Law influence
on Wall Street and on the sophisticated
international business transacted
in New York continues to
grow.
It was in a special place because the event
occurred in the reception gallery of the midtown
Manhattan offices of Shearman & Sterling LLP, where
guests were treated to the firm's exhibit Enterprise
and the Law. The firm commissioned the collection
of 42 large-scale panels of graphics to mark its 125th
anniversary and celebrate its role in the evolution of
law, business, finance, government, and social development.
The collection, ranging from 19th century photographs
of the civil war and courtroom illustrations of
celebrated trials to Soviet agitprop posters and
renowned pictures from the UPI/Corbis-Bettmann

and Magnum Photos archives, portrays the human
experience against the backdrop of major legal battles.
Text running alongside the images places them
in a historical framework while informing the viewer
of Shearman & Sterling's involvement. One panel
shows a caricature of financiers Jay Gould and
William Henry Vanderbilt from the British satirical
magazine Puck and describes how the firm counseled
Gould in his takeover of the Union Pacific
Railroad in 1875. Another work has
stunning black and white photos
portraying scenes from Teheran, Iran
following the Iranian revolution in
1979. It was Shearman & Sterling
partner John Hoffman who developed
the legal strategies to obtain
the freedom of Americans taken
hostage by releasing $8 billion worth
of Iranian assets in US banks. Yet
another panel shows cadets at the
Citadel celebrating after the withdrawal of Shannon
Faulkner, the first woman admitted to the school. The
firm won a historic pro bono court victory requiring
the school to admit female cadets in 1994.
The enormous diversity of the subject matter,
its extensive chronology, and its stunning visual
impact have garnered the exhibit much acclaim.
Several museum curators, including those from the
Museum of American Financial History and the
Museum of the City of New York, have found it noteworthy
for its acknowledgement of the relationship
between the law and its role in the pivotal economic
and business developments of the last century.

Shearman & Sterling remains a leading global
law firm with 16 offices in Europe, Asia, and South
America and three in the United States. Recently, the
American Lawyer recognized it as one of the nation's
top deal-making firms. Last year the mega-transactions
it handled included the break-up of Viacom,
Boston Scientific's takeover of Guidant, and the sale
of Georgia Pacific to Koch Industries. In the past
year the firm's litigators won a nine-figure trial judgment
for Merrill Lynch in a dispute with Allegheny
Energy, won two significant challenges to state
statutes in the Illinois Supreme Court, came to the
aid of Morgan Stanley in its battle with financier
Ronald Perelman, and won a case of first impression
in the United States Court of Appeals which challenged
prosecutors' pre-conviction freeze of the
assets of white collar defendants.
Additionally, Shearman & Sterling maintains an
extraordinary commitment to pro bono in matters
ranging from assisting the International Criminal
Tribunal for Rwanda, to representing indigent criminal
defendants in the New York trial courts, to helping
non-profits in the social services and the arts.
Grace Lee '06 will join the firm as an associate this
fall.
Those in attendance included Assistant Dean
Paul Pless, Director of Development Jeff Coates,
Shearman & Sterling partner Steven Molo '82 (host),

Windy City Conferences
bloom in Spring and Summer
The College of Law hosted three significant conferences
in Chicago during the spring and summer
months, drawing legal scholars, law and business
faculty, and business leaders from around the
world to the Windy City.
In early April, Associate Dean Ralph Brubaker,
Professor Charles J. Tabb, the Alice C. Campbell
Professor, and Visiting Professor Natalie DeVooght
hosted “Consumer Bankruptcy and Credit in the
Wake of the 2005 Act” at the Knickerbocker Hotel
in downtown Chicago. The Conference featured a
dozen leading bankruptcy scholars discussing the
aftermath of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and
Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA), signed into
law by President Bush in April, 2005.
In late April, Professor Cynthia Williams, the
Mildred Van Voorhis Jones Faculty Scholar, hosted
a two-day conference entitled “Corporate
Accountability and Short-Term Influences in the
Capital Markets: Examining Similarities in the U.S.
and the U.K.” at the University Club in the
Chicago Loop. The conference featured faculty
members from Oxford, Cambridge, Royal
Holloway School of Business, and Nottingham in
England, along with law and business faculty from
Boston College, UCLA, Cornell, Penn, Vanderbilt,
Virginia, Georgetown, and Yale, along with business
and industry leaders and a keynote address
from Robert A.G. Monks, well-known investor and
shareholder activist.
In early June, the College's Program in Law and
Economics hosted “The Future of the Commons
and the Anticommons” in Chicago, led by
Professor Thomas S. Ulen, the Swanlund Chair,
and Professor Lee Anne Fennell. The conference
focused on the well-known tragedy of the commons
story (which has the structure of a Prisoner's
Dilemma) and its more recently developed counterpart,
the tragedy of the anticommons, providing
influential focal points for thinking about property
regimes and resource allocation. The scholars discussed
the continuing vitality of these conceptual
templates in real property, natural resource, and
intellectual property contexts, addressed possible
refinements and theoretical extensions, and discussed
potential avenues for further research.
Participants included Illinois faculty members
Ulen, Fennell, Richard McAdams, Larry Ribstein,
Lawrence Solum, and Ekow Yankah.

O
ne of the nation's most versatile public servants at
the state, national, and international levels, Governor
James J. Blanchard presented a highly-entertaining inside look at
government service to a standing-room only crowd in the Max L.
Rowe Auditorium as part of the fifth annual Vacketta-DLA Piper
Lecture on the Role of Government and the Law to kick off
Homecoming weekend festivities in early October.
Governor Blanchard served as ambassador to Canada from 1993
to 1996, after serving two terms
as governor of Michigan (1983-
1991) and four terms as a member
of the United States Congress
(1975-1983).
One of Blanchard's signature
achievements as Ambassador to
Canada was spearheading the
U.S.-Canada Aviation Agreement,
known as “Open Skies,” which
modernized aviation practices
between the two nations and
demonstrated how international
agreements can promote broad
economic growth. Governor
Blanchard currently is a Partner
with DLA Piper and the
Chairman of the firm's
Government Affairs Practice
Group.
On January 1, 1983, he took over what was described as "the
toughest governor's job in America." His state faced a $1.7 billion
deficit, the threat of bankruptcy, record high unemployment of
more than 17 percent, and the worst credit rating in America.
Blanchard completed his work as Michigan's 45th governor having
balanced eight consecutive state budgets, boosted the state's
credit rating to AA, established a $422 million "rainy-day fund,"
and produced a solvency dividend of more than $1 billion in savings
from reduced borrowing costs. His aggressive small business
and economic development efforts helped create more than
650,000 net new jobs and made Michigan's economy 35 percent
more diversified than it had been a decade earlier.
Newsweek credited Governor Blanchard with leading "one of the
most dramatic economic turnabouts in the recent history of state
government," and national publications such as U.S. News and
World Report listed Blanchard among the best governors in
America, one of the innovators and energizers who made things
work in an era of declining federal aid. He was reelected in 1986
by the largest margin of any Governor in Michigan history.
During his four terms in Congress, Jim Blanchard distinguished

including its subcommittees on Economic Stabilization, Housing
and Urban Development, International Trade and Domestic
Monetary Policy, and the Science and Technology Committee. He
performed oversight of the Federal Reserve Board and participated

Governor Blanchard earned his B.A. (1964) and M.B.A. (1965)
from Michigan State University and received his law degree from
the University of Minnesota in 1968. Prior to his election to
Congress, he was assistant attorney general of Michigan (1969-
1974). He remains active in Michigan and in US-Canada relations.
In 1997, he authored "Behind the Embassy Door", a book
highlighting his experiences as Ambassador. He also serves on

The Lasting Legacy of Post-World War II
Pesticide Use."
Following World War II, chemical companies
put wartime research to use in the domestic
market: abetted by agricultural experts, they
promoted the use of synthetic chemicals as
pesticides. The haunting consequences
include children playing hide-and-seek in the
mists of DDT produced by a spray truck, ducks

LEGAL HISTORY PROGRAM
hosts Symposium on Comparative Early Modern Legal History on Law,
Religion, and Social Discipline in the Early Modern Atlantic World
For the second consecutive year, Professor
Richard Ross and the College's Legal History Program
hosted a Symposium on Comparative Early Modern
Legal History at the Newberry Library in Chicago on
October 6. This year's conference was titled, “Law,
Religion, and Social Discipline in the Early Modern
Atlantic World” and focused on the intertwined use of
law and religion in early modern Europe to “discipline”
populations.
Directed by Professor Ross, the symposium gathers
yearly under the auspices of the Center for Renaissance
Studies at the Newberry Library in order to explore a
particular topic in the comparative legal history of the
Atlantic world in the period c.1492-1815. Funding is
provided by the University of Illinois College of Law.
Last fall, the Symposium presented a conference on
“Membership in Communities and States in the Early
Modern Atlantic World: Legal Rules, Social Judgments,
and the Negotiation of Citizenship.”
The Symposium, entitled “Law, Religion, and Social
Discipline in the Early Modern Atlantic World,” attracted
leading law professors, historians, and sociologists
from Yale, Harvard, the University of Chicago, New
York University, Northwestern, the University of Texas,
Johns Hopkins, the University of Wisconsin, and the
University of Pennsylvania (among other institutions)
and from as far away as the Humboldt University in
Berlin.
The conference explored the intertwined use of law
and religion to “discipline” populations in early modern
Europe and in the British and Spanish empires in

the Americas. Discipline in this context does not mean
“social control” so much as an ambition to cultivate
virtue, godliness, industry, and civility. England and
Spain each worried about encouraging discipline
among settlers whom they viewed as unruly, quick to
violence, overly greedy, liable to cultural degeneration,
and too ready to elevate short-term personal advantage
over long-term communal and imperial goals.
With varying degrees of commitment, each sought to
Christianize, order, pacify, and “civilize” indigenous
peoples and slaves. The papers presented at the symposium,
and the associated commentary and discussion,
investigated a range of questions. To what extent did
the English and Spanish empires see themselves as facing
similar or different disciplinary challenges and to
what extent did they employ similar or different techniques?
How did disciplinary techniques familiar from
Europe require adaptation given colonial conditions-in
particular, given the exigencies of territorial expansion
and the existence of unprecedented racial and ethnic
diversity?
By encouraging a comparative perspective, the conference
hoped to test claims about the nature, causes, and
implications of legal-religious discipline made from
within one national historiography. In particular, adoption
of a comparative perspective offered a richer
understanding of patterns of cooperation and rivalry
among legal and religious authorities in the British and
Spanish empires.
The College of Law's Legal History Program has already
begun planning another Symposium for the fall of
2007.
The results of the second annual Champaign County Courtroom Study were released in early July by the League of
Women Voters of Champaign County and the University of Illinois College of Law Trial Advocacy Program. The
courtwatching program involves watching courtroom proceedings from September to December and analyzing
every aspect of each trial, including jury demographics, judicial behavior, defendants' comprehension of the proceedings,
and an overall grade of fairness of the court proceedings. The project includes League of Women Voters
court watchers and Trial Advocacy students from the University of Illinois College of Law.
The results of the Courtroom Study Report were released live on WDWS-AM 1400 with Professor J. Steven Beckett
and were featured on WCIA-TV, the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette and the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin.
The study is unique in Illinois as the College works directly with the community-based League of Women Voters to
watch courts for the benefit of the community.

FACULTY MEMBERS
And Their Scholarship Within the Last Year
Amitai Aviram
The Law & Economics of
Cybersecurity (Cambridge
University Press 2006).
Cybersecurity is an increasing
problem for which the market may
fail to produce a solution. The ultimate
source is that computer owners
lack adequate incentives to invest in security because they
bear fully the costs of their security precautions but share
the benefits with their network partners. In a world of positive
transaction costs, individuals often select less than
optimal security levels. The problem is compounded
because the insecure networks extend far beyond the regulatory
jurisdiction of any one nation or even coalition of
nations. This book brings together the views of leading
law and economics scholars on the nature of the cybersecurity
problem and possible solutions to it. Professor
Aviram looks at network responses to network threats: the
evolution into private cyber-security associations.

Ralph Brubaker
and Charles Tabb
Bankruptcy Law:
Principles, Policies,
and Practice, 2nd
Edition (LexisNexis,
2006)
Professor Brubaker and
Professor Tabb put bankruptcy law in context, illuminating
the evolution of the Bankruptcy Code with an exploration
of current and historical non-bankruptcy remedies. The
book continually approaches each topic through the goals
of creditors and debtors, exploring how each is served in
various parts of the Code. Extensive questions and numerous
problems focus student attention on the mechanics of
the bankruptcy process but do so through the lens of history
and policy and explains why the law is the way it is.
Brubaker and Tabb designed the casebook to provide a
very accessible medium for introducing students to bankruptcy
law in a sophisticated manner. As the title indicates,
the emphasis is on the relationship between the core
principles essential to an understanding of the law, the
policies animating those principles, and the challenges
presented by the effectuation of those principles and policies
in bankruptcy practice. Recurring themes include the
importance of the construct of the "bankruptcy estate" to
an understanding of the design and operation of federal
bankruptcy law; Bankruptcy's pervasive federalism
conundrum of discerning the proper relative roles of state
and federal law; the separation-of-powers tension that
permeates administration of the federal bankruptcy
process; and, the difficulties of faithfully discerning congressional
intent as expressed in an integrated "code" with
a rich jurisprudential ancestry.

Why Conservation Is Failing and
How It Can Regain Ground (Yale
University Press, 2006)
Critics of environmental laws complain
that such rules often burden
people unequally, restrict individual
liberty, and undercut private property
rights. In formulating responses to these criticisms, the
conservation effort has stumbled badly, says Professor
Freyfogle in this thought-provoking book.
Conservationists and environmentalists haven't done their
intellectual homework, he contends, and they have failed
to offer an understandable, compelling vision of healthy
lands and healthy human communities.
Professor Freyfogle explores why the conservation
movement has responded ineffectually to the many cultural
and economic criticisms leveled against it. He addresses
the meaning of good land use, describes the many shortcomings
of “sustainability,” and outlines six key tasks that
the cause must address. Among these is the crafting of an
overall goal and a vision of responsible private ownership.
The book concludes with a stirring message that situates
conservation within America's story of itself and with an
extensive annotated bibliography of conservation's most
valuable voices and texts-important information for readers
prepared to take conservation more seriously.

public law scholars in the United States, Europe, and
Latin America. The essays share the view that understanding
courts requires attention to the political dynamics that
shape judicial design and authority, as well as the position
of courts within the broader political system. This volume
is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate
courses in judicial politics.
According to reviewer Professor Donald Jackson, the
book “is quite an interesting and useful book, containing
essays resulting chiefly from the fecundity of Martin
Shapiro. To put that conclusion in context, I should note
that the essays in this book are examples of the1990s version
of “new institutionalism,” applied not only to U.S.
courts, but also to transnational courts and to those of
other countries. Most of the chapters were first presented
at a 2003 conference honoring Martin Shapiro's contribution
of the study of public law. This version of “new
Institutionalism” is described in the introduction by
Ginsburg and Kagan as taking “institutional structures
seriously, rather than focusing on the individual agent
alone,” and focusing on the “structures that constrain and
empower some of the individuals that make them up.”
The two strands that make up this version of institutionalism
consist of the rationalist approach that seeks to
demonstrate how rational actors pursue “exogenous”
preferences in an instrumental manner within judicial systems,
and the historical approach that demonstrates how
judicial institutions change over time.”

The College Administrator's
Survival Guide (Harvard
University Press, 2006)
Former Associate Provost and
University Counsel, Professor C.K.
Gunsalus, a widely respected advisor
on academic administration and
ethics, offers tips, insights, and tools on handling complaints,
negotiating disagreements, responding to accusations
of misconduct, and dealing with difficult personalities.
With humor and generosity, Professor Gunsalus
applies scenarios based on real-life cases, examples from
negotiation, law, and child-rearing to guide novice (and
experienced) academic administrators through the dilemmas
of management in not-entirely-manageable environments.

Here's an example from the book description: Late one
afternoon, as you are organizing your new office as
department chair, one of the senior members of the department
drops by. He affably informs you of his plans for the
coming semester: that contrary to the published class
schedule, he only teaches on Tuesday afternoon,
Wednesday, and Thursday morning, so as to have the
weekends free for travel; that he expects the office staff to
start his coffeemaker by 10 a.m. sharp on his teaching
days; and that since he hasn't been assigned a research
assistant, his teaching assistant will do research tasks,
including errands. What do you say? What do you do?
Never mind budgets or curriculum reform: staff problems
can be the most thorny of any academic administrator's
job. Every day, professors who have never run anything
bigger than a seminar find themselves in charge of a
complex and volatile organization called a Department of
English (or Biology, or Sociology, or Textile Marketing).
What should they do?

Improving Healthcare: A Dose
of Competition (Springer
Publishing Co., 2005)
Improving Healthcare: A Dose of
Competition systematically examines
the American health care system from
a competition-oriented perspective.
The volume surveys the performance of each major sector
of the health care system, and identifies impediments to
more effective competition. Improving Healthcare examines
such issues as competition v. regulation, public and
private sector approaches to health care financing, crosssubsidies,
licensure, provider market concentration, financial
and clinical integration, payment for performance,
quality, pharmacy benefit managers, direct-to-consumer
advertising of pharmaceuticals, certificates of need, mandates,
unionization, the significance of organizational status
(nonprofit v. for-profit), and the role of antitrust and
consumer protection in health care. It offers concrete recommendations
to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness
of the American health care marketplace.
Professor Hyman served as Special Counsel at the
Federal Trade Commission for three years, during which
he was project leader for the set of hearings that resulted
in this book.
Medicare Meets Mephistopheles (Cato Institute,
Sept., 2006)
Let's say you're the devil, and you want to corrupt the
American republic. How would you go about it?
According to David Hyman, you might create something
like Medicare, the federal health care program for the elderly.
Hyman submits that Medicare may be the greatest trick
the devil ever played. Medicare feeds on the avarice of
doctors and other providers, turns seniors into health care
gluttons, and makes regions of the United States green
with envy over the dollars showered on other regions. The

program exploits the sloth of government officials to
increase the tax burden on workers and drag down the
quality of care for seniors. Medicare makes Democrats lust
for socialized medicine, while its imperviousness to reform
makes Republicans angrier and angrier. Most of all,
Medicare allows its ideological supporters to bleat and
preen their way to the heights of moral vanity.
In the style of C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters, Hyman
writes that Medicare has “freed the self-interest of these
mortals from its natural restraints. As a result, the seven
deadly sins have blossomed.”
With epic political battles over Medicare and the future
of limited government looming just over the horizon,
Hyman uses satire to cast a critical eye on this mediocre
government program.

Materials on Family Wealth
Management with seven coauthors,
Thomson/West published
in August 2005
The process of accumulating, managing
and transmitting wealth raises
issues of central importance for individuals
and families. Faced with an ever-expanding array
of financial instruments and investment choices, most people
of modest or substantial means recognize the desirability,
indeed the necessity, of achieving a basic level of financial
literacy. Often, however, that need goes unmet
throughout college and graduate school; far too many students
emerge from years of higher education with little
understanding of the financial facts of life. This volume
aims to help students become familiar with fundamental
principles and practices of personal finance and wealth
management, so that they can make intelligent and
responsible decisions for themselves and exercise sound
judgment in advising or assisting others. Professor Kaplan
wrote Chapter 9: Elder Law in this textbook.
Elder Law in a Nutshell, with Lawrence A. Frolik
Thomson/West 4th edition scheduled for
October/November 2005.
This reliable source provides expert narration on the
FEATURES
scope and diversity of elder law. The text addresses ethical
considerations and health care decision-making issues.
Discusses Medicare, Medigap, Medicaid, and long-term
care insurance. Looks into living arrangements, guardianship,
and benefits-Social Security, supplemental security
income, veterans benefits, and pension plans. Also
explores age discrimination in employment, elder abuse,
and neglect.

Intellectual Property in Business
Organizations: Cases and
Materials, with Richard S.
Gruner and Shubha Ghosh
(LexisNexis, 2006)
This casebook focuses on the legal
problems of businesses that develop
and utilize intellectual property as the businesses are
founded, financed, expanded, transferred to others, or terminated.
The text also addresses the distinctive roles
played by intellectual property at three stages of business
development: The startup phase (where intellectual property
often plays key roles in business formation and venture
capital financing); The mid-life phase (where intellectual
property is often an important factor in going public
or selling a business through a merger into a larger concern);
and The mature company phase (where successful
firms must deal with problems such as preventing abuses
of dominant intellectual property positions and remaining
competitive in complex high-tech markets despite being
innovators in only small components of those markets).
Intellectual Property in Business Organizations is
designed for law students in advanced classes concerning
intellectual property, basic and advanced business organizations
topics as encountered in connection with intellectual
property, and the law of science and technology. This
text would also be valuable in courses on technology
transfer and licensing, as well as in intellectual property
survey courses. It is also suitable for business school students
in classes with a substantial focus on legal problems
of developing businesses. A strong background in intellectual
property law is not assumed. Rather, background
material on important intellectual property standards is
provided in an appendix to the text. In addition, detailed
notes on particular intellectual property laws and legal
21

issues raised in the materials are included with the readings.

Modern Criminal Law (4th
ed.2006), 894 pp.
This Modern Criminal Law: Cases,
Comments and Questions casebook
represents a rather substantial revision
of the previous work. It contains
an even richer and more contemporary set of materials,
thus permitting examination in greater breadth and depth
than ever before of those issues that are of current major
importance in the field of substantive criminal law.
Approximately one-third of the principal cases are new
and, with rare exception, were decided since publication of
the second edition. The notes following the principal cases
have been enriched with the discussion of over 180 newer
court decisions, as well as with excerpts from about 170
very recent books and law review articles. At the same
time, much of the previous material in the notes and questions
has been retained because of its continuing value.
Modern Criminal Procedure (11th ed.2005) (with
Kamisar, Israel & King)
Contains an overview of the criminal justice process
including the nature and scope of the Fourteenth
Amendment, due process, retroactivity, the federal "supervisory
power," and state rights protection. Also touches on
the right to counsel, transcripts, and other aids such as
poverty, equality, and the adversary system. Includes
reflections on the police, courts, and the criminal process.
Provides insight into pretrial release, the decision whether
to prosecute, the preliminary hearing, and the grand jury
review. Looks at reprosecution and the ban against double
jeopardy.
Basic Criminal Procedure (11th ed.2005) (with
Kamisar,Israel & King
This text covers police "encouragement" and the defense
of entrapment, examines police interrogation and confessions,
looks at lineups, showups, and other pretrial identi-
FEATURES
fication procedures, discusses grand jury investigations,
and explores the scope of the exclusionary rules. The text
also reviews due process, retroactivity, the federal "supervisory
power," and state rights protection, touches on the
right to counsel, transcripts, and other aids such as poverty,
equality, and the adversary system. It includes reflections
on the police, courts, and the criminal process, and
provides insight into arrest, search and seizure, wiretapping,
electronic eavesdropping, the use of secret agents to
obtain incriminating statements, and the Fourth
Amendment.
Advanced Criminal Procedure (11th ed.2005)
(with Kamisar, Israel & King)
Advanced Criminal Procedures covers the right to a
speedy trial and speedy disposition, examines coereced,
induced, and negotiated guilty pleas, reviews discovery
and disclosure, compares trial by jury and trial by newspaper
and television, discusses the reprosecution and ban
against double jeopardy, and explains habeas corpus and
related collateral remedies. This book is suited especially
for those schools offering two courses on criminal procedure,
one dealing largely with police practices, the other
placing primary emphasis on the post-"police practices" or
"investigation" phases-from bail to post-conviction review.
Presents a basic structure of the American criminal justice
process. Also includes materials on pretrial release, the
decision of whether to prosecute, the preliminary hearing,
and the grand jury review.
Criminal Procedure and the Constitution (2006
ed.) (with Israel, Kamisar & King)
Criminal Procedure and the Constitution is always upto-date
as after each Supreme Court Term, the editors
update the text in time for fall use. The Introductory text
at the start of each chapter place the selected cases in a
historical and doctrinal perspective. This coursebook is
the work of nationally renowned experts on the subject of
constitutional-criminal procedure. It is ideally suited for a
survey course designed to explore and critically examine
how the U.S. Supreme Court has dealt with a wide range
of highly controversial issues that arise at various stages
of the criminal process. Considerable pains have been
taken to set forth the views of all members of the Court in

such landmark cases as Batson, Leon, Mapp, and Miranda
and such important recent cases as Apprendi v. New
Jersey and Dickerson v. United States.
Criminal Procedure in a Nutshell (7th ed.2006)
(with Israel)
This book is intended for use by law students of criminal
procedure. It is a succinct analysis of the constitutional
standards of major current significance. This is not a text
on criminal procedure, but rather about constitutional
criminal procedure. It avoids describing the non-constitutional
standards applied in each state and federally. The
text provides the scope and highlights points necessary to
understanding this field.
Peter Maggs
Internet and Computer Law,
2nd Edition (American
Casebook Series, Thomson
West, 2006) (with John T. Soma
and James A. Sprowl)
The text reflects many important
developments in this rapidly changing field, includes a
new chapter on computer and internet crime, and many
important recent cases that were decided since the publication
of the first edition. The authors have chosen cases that
are both important and teachable. The text consists of keyissue
cases such as those involving Altai, Napster, and
MP3, plus extensive trademark and domain name arbitration.
By covering older cases in notes, the patents chapter
is able to include the latest federal circuit decisions on the
patentability of software, computer-implemented business
methods, and Internet techniques.
David Meyer
Contemporary Family Law (with
Douglas Abrams and Naomi
Cahn) (Thomson-West
Publishing Co., 2006)
This casebook captures the rapid
evolution of doctrine, introduces students
to emerging policy debates, and explores issues that
FEATURES
arise in family law practice including the importance of
collaborating with professionals from other disciplines.
The book emphasizes that families take a variety of forms,
including marital and nonmarital relationships, and that
constitutional considerations play an increasingly important
role in family law. Contemporary Family Law
includes several chapters that do not appear in most other
family law casebooks. For example, it devotes separate
chapters to lawyering, private ordering, and alternative
dispute resolution. And, in contrast to the usual approach,
the book treats property distribution and alimony in separate
chapters to emphasize each topic's distinctive theoretical
and practical aspects. Moreover, because child custody
arrangements lead to some of the most acrimonious legal
disputes, this casebook devotes two separate chapters to
custody: the first treats the initial custody decision, and
the second explores disputes that arise over visitation,
custody, and key childrearing decisions after the initial
disposition. In addition, the book emphasizes the importance
of legal practice issues by placing the lawyering
chapter at the beginning of the book, and by using problems
that enable students to apply doctrine.
Andrew Morriss
Regulation by Litigation (forthcoming,
Yale University Press)
This book will offer a systematic
analysis of the use of litigation to
impose substantive regulatory measures,
including a public choice-based
analysis of why agencies choose litigation over other
forms of regulation. It will then examine in depth three
case studies of regulation by litigation: (1) the EPA's suit
against the heavy duty diesel engine manufacturers as a
means of tightening nitrogen oxide emissions standards;
(2) the federal and state lawsuits against the cigarette
manufacturers as a means of limiting tobacco sales and
indirectly increasing tobacco taxes; and (3) the litigation
against the financial services industry by federal and state
regulators. The authors argue that litigation is an inappropriate
means for establishing substantive regulatory provisions,
yet its use can be explained by newly developed
public choice theories.

John Nowak
Principles of Constitutional
Law, 2nd Edition (with Ronald
D. Rotunda) (Thomson-West
Publishing Co., 2005)
The authors, recognized authorities
in the subject for over a quarter
of a century, provide succinct and
authoritative coverage of the major principles in modern
American Constitutional Law. This book is a shortened
version based on the authors' hornbook, popular with stu-
FEATURES
dents, and their five-volume treatise, popular with judges,
practitioners, and scholars, analyzes the constitutional
issues that are studied in law schools today. It discusses
the origins of judicial review and federal jurisdiction, federal
commerce and spending powers, state powers in light
of the dormant commerce clause, the war power, freedom
of speech and religion, equal protection, due process, and
other important individual rights and liberties. Each chapter
begins with a summary of the basic law as it exists
today, followed by an analysis of the work of the Court.
Judges and law review authors have made the Nowak &
Rotunda treatise one of the most cited books in modern
years.
James Pfander
Principles of Federal
Jurisdiction (West/Thomson Co.
2006)
Aimed at students in advanced
courses, Principles of Federal
Jurisdiction provides an up-to-date
explanation of the leading principles
of federal jurisdiction. Coverage includes such landmarks
of jurisdictional law as Marbury v. Madison, Erie R. Co. v.
Tompkins, and Ex parte Young, and the rules that govern
original and appellate jurisdiction, abstention, federal
habeas corpus for both state and federal prisoners, and
sovereign immunity and government accountability. The
book discusses the enemy combatant cases and recent
Supreme Court decisions on such diverse issues as the
AEDPA, federal ingredient jurisdiction, complete preemption
removal, and supplemental jurisdiction. In addition
to its discussion of leading principles, the text provides a
sense of the argumentative possibilities available to
lawyers and jurists working within the federal courts' tradition.
Larry Ribstein
The Sarbanes-Oxley Debacle:
What We've Learned and How
to Fix It (AEI Press, 2006) (with
Henry N. Butler)
The 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act
(SOX) was enacted following revelations
of corporate misconduct and
the collapse of the Enron
Corporation. In an effort to protect investors by improving
the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures,
Congress introduced stringent new rules affecting financial
practices and corporate governance regulation. The

authors argue that SOX is not worth the huge direct and
indirect compliance costs paid by firms and demonstrate
that SOX has been a colossal failure, creating unintended
consequences that have been onerous for firms that must
comply with the new regulations and harmful to the ordinary
investors it means to protect, and that direct and
indirect costs could number more than a trillion dollars.
The book suggests specific changes to SOX including prohibiting
private lawsuits, allowing firms to opt into or opt
out of some of SOX's provisions, exempting foreign firms
either from SOX generally or from specific provisions,
exempting all but the largest corporations, removing criminal
penalties to avoid the potential for prosecutorial
abuse of criminal sanctions, and revising and softening
Section 404, known as the internal control provision.

This classic casebook approaches
dispute resolution from the unique perspective of lawyers,
including their various roles as counselors, advocates, and
dispute resolution specialists, and as human beings
involved in these processes. While retaining its familiar
style, organization, accessibility and sense of humor, the
new edition also updates this classroom-tested casebook
with all major cases and practice, empirical, and theoretical
developments, and gives special emphasis to problemsolving
and understanding and managing conflict.

The committee was chaired by Sen. Arlen Specter
(Pennsylvania) and included Illinois Senator Richard
Durbin and Sen. Tom Coburn (Oklahoma).
Professor Hyman's testimony centered on the issue of
whether there is evidence of market power in health insurance
markets. He discussed the complaints of health care
providers regarding disparities in bargaining power when
negotiating with the insurance companies, pointing out
that complaints are coming from health care providers, not
consumers and that the interests of consumers are at odds
with that of providers. Professor Hyman provided recommendations
to improve the current situation, including
improving transparency of price and quality information
and using incentives to improve quality; fixing the tax
subsidy for employment-based health insurance; lowering
barriers to entry in health insurance; and malpractice
reform. Professor Hyman also addressed several questions
from the committee.

long-form scholarship such as law-review articles giving
way to short-form, open-access media like blogs.
Blogging holds a special allure for law professors, he said,
for a simple reason.
"The dirty little secret, maybe not so secret, is that long
law-review articles are not read by anyone," he said.
"Whether we like it or not, the day is coming when if it's

KAPLAN -
Quoted in On Wall Street Magazine
Professor Richard Kaplan, the Peer and Sarah Pedersen
Professor, was quoted in the July edition of On Wall Street
Magazine in a story on a new insurance product known as
"Longevity Insurance," a new category of products for
baby boomers reluctant to take out annuities, an incomebased
policy that acts like an annuity but is usually available
for purchase only to those in their golden years and
often don't kick in until decades later. Professor Kaplan,
the founder of Elder Law Review and one of the nation's
leading tax and elder law scholars, says "longevity insurance,"
an income-based policy that acts much like an annuity,
is "kind of like fire insurance. It doesn't pay a penny
unless the insured event occurs." Professor Kaplan, a frequent
media source on Elder Law and Tax Law, was quoted
in an August 9th story in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on
the Pension Reform Bill that passed the U.S. Senate in
early August. "The companies that were planning to get
out of the business of defined-benefit plans didn't need
any excuse," said Kaplan. "But if they want an excuse, this
bill will provide it." The story was picked up by several
regional newspapers in the Southeast and Midwest.

Professor Peter Maggs, the Clifford M. and Bette A.
Carney Chair, was quoted on Russian bankruptcy law in
the May edition of The Deal in New York City. "Because
Russia is a civil law country, whose courts do not have the
inherent equitable powers characteristic of the Anglo-
American system, a Russian court cannot order consolidation
due to the lack of specific statutory authority. There
are no consolidated bankruptcy proceedings under
Russian law."
In May, he participated in meetings and a conference in
Dushanbe, Tajikistan, on the revision of the first part of the
Civil Code of the Republic of Tajikistan. Professor Maggs
had contributed in the 1990s to the preparation of a model
Civil Code, which served as one of the bases for
Tajikistan's Code. During the past year, he worked actively
with the revision committee drafting amendments to the
existing Code. The revisions should substantially improve
the quality of the Code and its relation to other legislation.
Professor Maggs provided suggestions for the revision
of the draft of a new Fourth Part for the Russian Civil
Code. This Part would codify and replace all Russian intellectual
property legislation. Together with Alexey Zhiltsov,
he made an English translation for the use of foreign advisors
and United States government negotiators dealing
with Russian accession to the World Trade Organization.
The Fourth Part was formally introduced into the Russian
Parliament in July 2006.

helped recovering substance addicts prepare for the
General Educational Development test, volunteered at a
hospital for chronically ill children, and tutored schoolaged
residents at a Chicago-area transitional shelter.
“This scholarship is one of the many ways in which Jenner
& Block demonstrates its commitment to diversity in the
profession,” said Managing Partner Gregory S.
Gallopoulos. “And, it reflects the Firm's other core values
of excellence, continuous learning, and serving the community.”
The Firm has also established similar minority scholarships

SHIP ROLE IN ORGANIZING
IMPACT FOR CAMPUS-WIDE
PHILANTHROPY
STUDENT PROFILES
On Friday, September 29, the new University of Illinois
College of Law student organization, IMPACT, held its
first fund-raising event. IMPACT, which stands for Illini
Making Progress and Contributing Together, was created
by law students Matt Johns, Josh Jones, and Anusha Pillay
and is a charitable organization whose goal is to unite
members of the graduate and professional communities
together to benefit the Champaign-Urbana community.
Over 350 graduate and professional students attended
IMPACT's first fundraiser. In attendance were students
from Law, Veterinary Medicine, Engineering, Nursing,
Industrial and Labor Relations, Mathematics, Accounting,
and Medicine.
The event grossed over $ 1,600, the proceeds of which will
help families in the Champaign and Urbana communities.
IMPACT plans to continue to host fundraising events on a
regular basis and to partner with the Student Bar
Association and American Bar Association to reinstitute
the national work-a-day that was first founded at the
University of Illinois College of Law. IMPACT plans to
host an open membership recruitment meeting in the near

2L AMARA ENYIA’S AWARD-WIN-
NING DIARY OF NEW ORLEANS
LEGAL AID WORK
“Hope Prevails Amid Ruins”
46
STUDENT PROFILES
Second-year student Amara Enyia wrote a diary, "Hope
prevails amid ruins: 'Big Easy' struggles to climb to its
feet," based on her experiences doing volunteer legal aid
work in New Orleans during Spring Break. Amara spent
her time in New Orleans' lower Ninth Ward, an area that
was demolished by Hurricane Katrina. Her diary was published
in the April 10 edition of the Daily Illini and was
featured in The Palestra Daily, a virtual national college
newspaper, as one of the Top 10 college newspaper stories
in the United States.
Here is her diary, reprinted courtesy of the Daily Illini:
Editor's Note: Amara Enyia is a law student and graduate
student. She spent spring break doing legal aid volunteer
work in New Orleans. The following is a personal account
of her experience.
The sun sets on another day in the lower Ninth Ward,
bathing the area in orange light. It will be the last vestige
of light until morning, as most of the area is still without
electricity. The Ninth Ward was one of the most ravaged
areas in Hurricane Katrina's relentless path, and still,
seven months later, it looks as though Katrina's wrath fell
upon the area just days ago. Houses sit on top of cars, cars
on top of houses, some homes completely flipped around
on their very foundations. A lone wheelchair sits by the
side of the road. One wonders if its occupant was able to
escape, or fell victim to the apocalyptic floods, wind and
rain that took the lives of so many.
There is nothing like witnessing firsthand the devastation
caused by the hurricane. The non-stop news accounts can
only provide so much. Former signs of life - innocent
objects like baby strollers and toys left behind in the rubble
- drive home the reality of a ruthless and guiltless storm; a
storm with no conscience.
New Orleanians speak of the storm as though it were yesterday.
The weary tone with which they describe the devastation
shows just how much Katrina battered not only
their city, but their hearts. But a current of resilience runs
through the post-Katrina commentary, and citizens are

quick to espouse the virtues of their great city.
The work to restore the city progresses, albeit slowly. At
Martin Luther King Elementary School in the lower Ninth
Ward, residents held a rally to reopen the school. They
have been granted permission by the school's board of
education, but they have not received permission from the
state of Louisiana. These residents, in their zeal to return
some normalcy to their lives and their children's lives, risk
arrest to enter the school for clean up. They removed computers,
keyboards books, and other school material no
longer fit for use. Meanwhile, other citizens have begun
monitoring police action to ensure that the beatings and
other accounts of police brutality and misconduct cease.
New Orleanians are not alone in the struggle to rebuild.
Hundreds of college students opted to spend their spring
break gutting houses, conducting legal research for citizens
facing myriad legal issues and help in any other way
they can. They join thousands of volunteers from across
the country in an effort to restore the "Big Easy" to its former
greatness. Their efforts have been received with gratitude
and more of such efforts are necessary to expedite the
already long-term process of rebuilding the Crescent City.
For more information on volunteer opportunities students
can contact the Student Hurricane Network at studenthurricanenetwork@gmail.com.

IN MEMORIAM
Arthur Woodward '62, first Marco Island
lawyer, dies

eprinted with permission from the June 28 edition
of Naples News
Marco Island has lost one of its modern-day pioneers. Arthur
V. Woodward brought his quite, backwoods common sense to
Marco Island in 1968, when the island's only access was the
old Goodland swing bridge and the closest grocery story was
in Naples. The Illinois-bred attorney, who one friend
described as like Abraham Lincoln in demeanor, started the
island's first law firm and represented many of the developers
who built the island into the resort city Marco is today.
Woodward, 80, died June 23, 2006.
“I've known him since 1976,” said Aubrey Ferrao of Gulf Bay
Development Inc. “He was a visionary and a man of integrity.”
“I first met him when I bought a piece of property on Marco
in 1969 or 1970,” said William R. Rose, owner of Marco River
Marina. “He was my attorney for all those years, and he was
a very good friend. I will miss him.”
Woodward was born in the coal mining town of Benton,
Illinois. He served in the Army Air Corps in World War II, then
attended the University of Illinois, where he met his wife
Glenellen. The couple was married in 1948. Woodward
earned his civil engineering degree, then put his education to
work on the Maine and Massachusetts turnpikes. He then got
a hankering to become an attorney, and earned a law
degree. He opened a labor law practice in Abraham Lincoln's
hometown of Springfield, Illinois, and represented the Illinois
Association of General Contractors.
Woodward moved to Marco Island in 1968 and started the
first law firm on the island. He represented many developers
during the island's early construction, including developers of
several condominiums and the developers who built the private
development that today is Hideaway Beach.
“There were only two lawyers on the island then,” Rose said.
“They were located on the other side of Marco Lake, facing
west. That was kind of the town center back then. There's a
locksmith there now and two restaurants.”
The European Alumni Association gathers for a
photograph in Potsdam during the annual summer
reunion.
ALUMNI UPDATES
“He was the perfect kind of attorney for Marco when Marco
was hatching out of the egg. He was kind of a quiet, backwoods,
Lincoln-type attorney,” Rose said.
Woodward retired from his law practice in 1986. He turned
the firm over to his twin sons, Craig and Mark Woodward.
They changed the name to its current moniker of Woodward,
Pires and Lombardo. Craig lives on Marco Island and works in
the firm's Marco office, while Mark lives in Naples and runs
the firm's Naples office. Their father then became manager of
First Title and Abstracts, a family-owned title company. He
also served as president of North Marco Utility Co., and was a
board member of the Fiddlers Creek Community
Development District.

COLLEGE OF LAW PRIVATE SUPPORT REPORT 2006
THE CLASS OF 2006
SETS A NEW RECORD FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT

2
Dear Alumni and Friends,
Just two short years ago I came to the
College of Law as the Assistant Dean for
Development and Alumni Relations excited
about the opportunity in front of me.
I had a lot to learn, and many people to get to know including
alumni, faculty, staff, and students. Within the first
week of assuming my position we were hosting
Homecoming activities, and I was quickly meeting supporters
and friends of the College. I had a bit of apprehension;
however, very quickly I felt at ease, and you were integral in
this.
Throughout the last two years I have seen the College of
Law make progress in faculty and staff hiring, student credentials,
and increased financial support from alumni and
friends. Dean Hurd and the development staff are quickly
making progress, and raising money to transform the
College. I was able to jump in immediately and work with
Jeff Coates and Marianne Downey to advance the mission,
and strengthen our relationships with you. You have continued
to increase your support both in terms of dollars and
number of donors. We improved alumni participation from
17.3% to 20%, and the College of Law now ranks as the
number one degree granting unit on campus in terms of
alumni participation thanks to you.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the College of Law;
however, recently I was offered and accepted the position of
Vice President for Institutional Advancement at Pfeiffer
University in North Carolina. I am not only very excited
about my new opportunity; I am also excited about the
direction of the College of Law. Dean Hurd continues to
bring much energy, enthusiasm, and leadership. I will keep
a close eye on the continued progress, and look forward to
continuing to cross paths with many of you.
The Office of Development and Alumni Relations will continue
to be in good hands as Jeff Coates has been promoted
to Assistant Dean for Development and Alumni Relations.
Many of you know Jeff as he has done a terrific job as the
Director of Development for the last 2 years and as
Associate Director before that. I am very confident Jeff’s
leadership will continue to bring outstanding results, and
help advance the College’s Agenda of Excellence.
Best wishes for continued success.
Sincerely,
Shon R. Herrick
Assistant Dean for Development and Alumni Relations

Cost of a Legal Education at Illinois: A Recent History
The decrease in operating support from the State of Illinois
has caused Illinois law students to pay increasingly higher
tuition rates to obtain an education. The College has
emphasized alumni support of student scholarships in
recent years to aid many students who otherwise couldn’t
afford an Illinois legal education.

Good News from Washington:
Tax Free IRA Charitable Rollover becomes Law
Have You Thought About Leaving Your Legacy at
Illinois?
If you have ever thought of providing the gift, which would
truly leave your legacy at your alma mater, now is the perfect
time! Whether you want to establish a student scholarship,
a faculty research fund, provide an annual fund gift,
or provide specific programmatic support, using a Tax Free
IRA Charitable Rollover may be the way for you to painlessly
make this gift a reality.
Tax Free IRA Charitable Rollover becomes Law
Congress recently enacted legislation as part of the Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (PPA 2006), which offers individuals
a golden opportunity to make gifts from their IRAs and
exclude the amount of their gifts from their gross income.
To qualify:
• The donor must be 70 1/2 years of age or older;
• The transfers must go directly from the IRA to qualified charities;
• Gifts cannot exceed $100,000 per taxpayer per year;
• Gifts must be outright to the charity, meaning the gift cannot
establish a charitable gift annuity or a charitable trust.
This opportunity is available only for 2006 and 2007, and
no charitable income-tax deduction is allowed.
For more information on creating your legacy at Illinois and
the specifics of using a tax free IRA Charitable Rollover,
please contact Jeff Coates in the Office of Development &
Alumni Relations at 217-244-6435 or via email at
coates@law.uiuc.edu.

BOARD OF VISITORS SCHOLARSHIP S C H O L A R S H I P
THE COLLEGE’S BOARD OF VISITORS STEPS
FORWARD WITH ADDITIONAL GIFTS
The College of Law’s Board of Visitors created a new scholarship fund
during the past year. As part of their obligation, Board members attend
two meetings annually, learning more about the challenges, successes,
and initiatives taking place at the law school. Members provide feedback
and ideas to help ensure a continued environment of excellence.
At the meeting last Fall, Board members learned of the need for additional
scholarship resources. Several members decided to truly make an
impact by digging deep, making additional gifts above and beyond their
annual contributions to the College.
The Office of the Provost provides matching money for graduate scholarship
gifts of $150,000 or more, if the gift is made in a period of time
less than three years. This immediately became the goal, and to date
more than $150,000 has been contributed. Former President of the
Board of Visitors, Roland Porter ’67 said, “I initiated this effort for two
reasons. The most important reason is to provide much needed assistance
for our students, and also to implement Board giving to the
College, something that had not occurred before.”
This fall two students received scholarship assistance from the newlyestablished
Board of Visitors Scholarship. This year’s recipients are Elijah
Watkins and Lauren Gallagher.
Board of Visitors member, Jean Manning ’83 said, “Contributions to the
scholarship fund allow the law school to compete for the best students,
which will continue the school’s rise in national prominence.”
The College of Law is indebted to the Board for their continued generosity,
and financial commitments supporting the mission of the
College.
To learn more about establishing a named scholarship please contact
Jeff Coates, Assistant Dean for Development and Alumni Relations at
(217) 333-2628.
“All of us who serve on the BOV do so because we recognize the role
that the College has played in our lives and are looking to give back to
the College. The BOV Scholarship provided an opportunity for the
members of the board, acting together, to do so in a particularly meaningful
way.”
— CAROL GAVIN ’80, Immediate Past President
“When Dean Hurd explained to the Board of Visitors the shortage of
scholarship funds and how that shortage was hampering the College’s
efforts to attract top students from around the country and abroad, we
knew we needed to do something. The four us (Carol Gavin ’80,
Roland Porter ’67, and Jean Manning ’83) decided to join together to
help lead the effort to establish the Board of Visitors Scholarship for the
College. Less than a year later, that scholarship is now a reality.
Knowing that we played a small part in helping the College pursue its
objective of raising its academic standing provides a real sense of satisfaction
– we were able to give back to the institution that contributed
so much to the success we’ve all enjoyed in our careers.”

LAW SCHOOL ANNUAL FUND
The first section of the Private Support Report
highlights the generosity of the 1,887 alumni and
friends who contributed to the very successful Law
School Annual Fund Campaign in fiscal year 2006.
This year’s Law School Annual Fund Campaign
raised the second highest total in the history of the
law school, reaching a total of $622,781.
The Law School Annual Fund is crucial to the
College of Law because it provides current-use
funding for support of student scholarships, student
organizations, faculty and student recruitment,
our unique law minority access program,
alumni services, scholarly events, as well as many
other worthy endeavors currently taking place at
the College. Those monies help provide us the flexibility
needed to fill in the gaps created by declining
State support.
The stars next to the donor name indicate only the
most recent number of consecutive years of giving
to the College. Thank you again to everyone who
helped make this year so successful by providing
their philanthropic support.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ANNUAL FUND CO-CHAIRS
Gregory C. Read ’67 and Lynn H. Murray ’85
Inaugural co-chairs, Gregory C. Read ’67 and Lynn H.
Murray ’85 are to be commended for their very successful
efforts during the past two years leading the Law School
Annual Fund. Participation and total dollars given to the
Law School Annual Fund have increased by more than 10%
during their tenure as co-chairs. Greg and Lynn have so
dramatically improved alumni philanthropic support to their
alma mater that the College of Law now ranks #1 in alumni
giving participation among all degree-granting units on the
Urbana-Champaign campus.

RECENT ALUMNI TAKE LEADERSHIP ROLES IN GIVING
More recent graduates of the College of Law have taken great strides to support
the reputation of their alma mater. The Class of 2005 jumped into the
top ten participation rates with overall participation at 33% this year. Of the
69 active classes only 4 gave at a higher rate than the Class of 2005. The
three-year old Class Gift Program has boosted recent alumni participation to
record levels. The Class of 2004 kicked off the first Class Gift program and
they achieved 19% overall participation this year, just a point below the total
alumni participation rate.
Recent alumni are developing an extensive volunteer base too. One-half of
the Class Reps writing to their classmates about supporting the College of
Law, graduated within the last ten years.
“Donating is a priority for me. I want to give back to Illinois because I
wouldn’t be where I am today without my diploma. I’m investing in the
future of higher education and my own future too.”
—Sarah Jane Frey ’04
Marbury Circle and Cribbet Society Member
Participation rates among recent graduates is very strong and they are also
serious about leading by example. Leadership donors that have graduated
within the last ten years include Margaret Adele Ketchum Society members
Anja R. Wells ’98, Gary M. Wells ’99; Marbury Circle members Louis DiSanto
’05, Sarah Jane Frey ’04, Gregory W. Gallagher ’97, Michael P. Kailus ’98,

STUDENTS TO BENEFIT FROM JOHN ’66 AND JOAN SEITMAN
SCHOLARSHIP GIFT
A gift from John M. Seitman ’66 and his wife, Joan, will provide scholarship
support for future students enrolling at the College of Law. After learning
about the current campaign that the University of Illinois has undertaken,
John and Joan determined it would be best to inform the College of their
decision to establish a scholarship fund through a provision in their will.
A scholarship fund agreement was established and John and Joan have the
satisfaction and confidence the College will be able to carry out their intent.
Shon Herrick, Assistant Dean for Development and Alumni Relations, states,
“We appreciate their commitment to the College, and we appreciate John
sharing their intent with us. This commitment will help the College reach its
goal of raising $50 million during the campaign, but most importantly we are
able to ensure John and Joan’s wishes are met as an agreement was established
that provides guidelines for the scholarship fund.”
“The outstanding education I received at the University of Illinois College of
Law was really the foundation stone of my professional career,” said John.
“The continuing high quality and reputation of the College are important not
only to those of us who learned there, but to the profession and public as
well. Joan and I want to assist new generations of lawyers to be able to benefit
from that same experience.”
Thank you John and Joan, the College of Law is grateful to you for your commitment
to help train future outstanding lawyers.
For more information on establishing a scholarship fund, or to discuss a
bequest for the College, please contact Jeff Coates, Assistant Dean for
Development and Alumni Relations at (217) 333-2628.

LOAN REPAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM UNDERWAY
Nine graduates from the Class of 2005 who had set their sights on careers in
public service became the first lucky alumni to benefit from a new Loan
Repayment Assistance Program inaugurated by the College of Law this year.
“Law school loan forgiveness is incredibly important to the future of the
legal profession,” said Dean Hurd, “because law school tuition—even at
public institutions—has now become sufficiently expensive as to force students
toward more lucrative private firm practice as a means of paying off
student loans. If law schools do not devise means of easing the financial
burdens faced by recent law graduates, we can anticipate that there will be
a channeling of students away from jobs in the public sector that are crucial
to the fair functioning of the legal system, but that pay very modest
salaries.”
For years, law students, administrators, and alumni have been concerned
about the future of lawyers in the public sector. With severe state budget
cuts, public law schools have been forced to raise their tuition to levels akin
to those of their private peers. As a result, virtually all young lawyers,
whether they graduate from private or public institutions, bear debt loads
that make public service uniquely difficult. As graduating law students are
increasingly forced to seek higher-paying jobs within the private sector,
those in public service fear that the important work done by lawyers within
government offices, regulatory agencies, branches of the justice system,
community advocacy groups, and public interest organizations will be compromised.
In response to these fears, a group of entrepreneurial law students at the
University of Illinois College of Law took it upon themselves to lay the
groundwork for a new program that would preserve opportunities for
careers in public service. Over the course of the last three years, this visionary
group joined the College administration to design and fund-raise for a
Loan Repayment Assistance Program.
The Loan Repayment Assistance Program is designed to forgive—partially or
completely—the law school loans of graduates who work a specified number
of years in local, state, or federal government or in not-for-profit public
service positions. “I am very excited about this initiative,” said Dean Hurd,
“because it creatively marries the efforts of students, staff, faculty, and
alumni in an effort to serve the future of our profession and the larger
interests of society. There is nothing more exciting than working with energetic,
idealistic students to help realize the dreams they have for their
futures, especially when those dreams embody the ideals of a great profession.”
Since 2003, LRAP has continued to gain momentum through the adoption
of a student fee motivated by a student-initiated referendum and hundreds
of gifts provided by devoted alumni and friends. Several alumni, including
Jackie Goff ’73, Bill Van Hagey ’72, and George Chandler ’55, have taken
LRAP under their wings by providing major gifts in support of its goals.
Almost 200 alumni and friends have provided financial support to LRAP
totaling $213,511 in gifts and pledges for both current-use and endowment.
Shon Herrick, Assistant Dean for Development and Alumni relations commented,
“Our alumni and friends have been very generous in a short period
of time as we have launched LRAP. The goal is to create an endowment
of $2 million to insure our students can pursue careers in not-for-profit and
government sectors, and we hope others will view this as a program worthy
of their investments.”
To make a contribution to the Loan Repayment Assistance Program, please
