Dean and Professor of Law Craig M. Boise One of the unexpected pleasures of being Dean at C|M|LAW is that most days I can catch a glimpse of Lake Erie from my office window. For years, sailing has been a favorite hobby, and being close to our own Great Lake is inspiring. One day this spring I drove to work along the lake as strong winds from the north whipped across the water, sending spray across the highway. I have sailed on Lake Erie in such conditions, and the challenge of adapting to the weather and working with the environment is for me a big part of the thrill of sailing.

As I enter my second year as Dean of C|M|LAW , the waters in the legal world are turbulent and rough weather threatens. As Dean, my job is to navigate C|M|LAW through these conditions and ensure that we are able to continue to provide aspiring lawyers the opportunity to pursue their dreams. In response to a bleak legal job market that has produced a substantial decline in law school applications, we’ve adopted the “140 Plan,” which will reshape C|M|LAW as a smaller, more nimble law school that can quickly adapt to prepare our students for the evolving legal job market of the future. Beginning this fall, our target entering class size will be 140 students, down from the 200-student target of the last few years. We have focused renewed resources and innovation on preparing our graduates to succeed on the bar exam, including provision of the BARBRI prep course at no cost to every C|MLAW graduate beginning with this fall’s entering class. I’ve been working with the clinical faculty to redesign our legal clinics so that students gain the practical experience they will need—across a wide range of practice areas—to compete effectively for employment opportunities. And we are planning for the introduction of a new “solo practice incubator” that will offer our graduates the opportunity to establish their own legal practices in office space provided by C|M|LAW, with advice and mentoring from practicing lawyers affiliated with the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association.

As we move forward, we build on many existing strengths. We place more of our graduates in full-time, JD-required jobs than any other public law school in Ohio. Ninety-two percent of our graduates who took the February bar exam passed—giving C|M|LAW the highest bar passage rate of any law school in the state of Ohio. This spring’s inaugural Great Lakes Sports and Entertainment Law Academy was a tremendous success, as over fifty students gained valuable practical training in the legal issues that confront practitioners representing artists, athletes, and sports and entertainment organizations and venues. Our faculty members continue to be influential: they were quoted this year in major national media including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and the Wall Street Journal; they wrote law review articles, book chapters and books; and two of them were awarded Fulbright scholarships.

We are not yet out of the storm, but we have trimmed our sails and charted a course that will make us an even better institution for our students. We believe that we will continue to make you—our alumni and friends—proud of your association with C|M|LAW.

“Our motivation going forward is continuous improvement in everything we do.”

AR PASSAGE RATES

92% C|M|LAW led all Ohio law schools in bar

passage rates for first time takers of the February bar.

career planning The C|M|LAW Solo and Small Firm Task Force was created to support the growing number of C|M|LAW graduates who go into solo and small firm practice.

The alumni-based task force assists graduates in getting their practices started by providing mentoring, counseling and relevant programming.

Tom Haren ’11 Solo/small firm task force member: “Innovation is the name of the game in today’s changing legal marketplace, and I was thrilled to see my alma mater begin reaching out to a new generation of legal entrepreneurs.

Safe and secure jobs don’t exist anymore, if they ever did. Fortunately, entrepreneurship has become more attractive than ever. A new generation of lawyers will lead our industry into the 21st century­—a century that, thanks to the work that the Task Force has begun, will be shaped by C|M|LAW grads.

I became involved in the Task Force because I was one of those students exploring the option of solo

4

practice prior to graduation. After getting licensed, I took the plunge into solo practice and couldn’t be happier. I wanted to be part of the Task Force to tell our students that opening a practice after graduation can be done, and can be done well.

There is a myth out there that grads only open a practice because they can’t find a job at a big firm.

With the help of the Task Force, my goal is to dispel that myth and prove that entrepreneurship is one of the best ways to a successful, exciting career while achieving a sense of work/life balance that frankly isn’t available to many in our profession.

The Task Force has sponsored presentations in the areas of criminal, consumer, family, estate planning, and bankruptcy law. It has given presentations about getting a practice off the ground, and then developing it into a sustainable business model. In addition, C|M|LAW is planning to open a law firm incubator, which will provide a wealth of resources to new solos. This is an exciting time to be a student at, and alumnus of, C|M|LAW.”

C|M|LAW leads all Ohio public law schools in the percentage of graduates working full time in jobs requiring a JD. * Based on the most recent law school data comparisons.

The “Moneyball” Hiring Partners Conference challenged the traditional hiring model and assumptions about the attributes that make a successful lawyer.

Bill Henderson—an expert in qualitative analysis, legal labor markets, and law firm recruiting, along with panelists from small, medium and large law firms, explored a statistically driven approach to legal recruiting that identifies key attributes that correlate with job performance.

Remix C|M|LAW is remixing legal education by blending externships and legal clinics, which will increase the number and variety of opportunities for students to develop the practical skills that will make them effective lawyers and advocates.

Legal Education: C|M|LAW’s academic program is rigorous and innovative. It provides the foundational knowledge that students will apply in engagement experiences: practice-oriented, experiential learning opportunities within a variety of legal specialties.

Externships: C|M|LAW’s externships are structured differently from other law schools as most of the student’s time is required to be working in the field, and not back in the classroom learning about working. Existing externships, which are supervised by practicing attorneys, or “supervising attorneys,” will be overseen by clinical professors, infusing the work experiences with the pedagogical rigor associated with traditional clinics.

Clinics: Adjunct faculty—practitioners from the legal community—will work with clinical professors to create clinics that are academically rigorous and provide chances for students to work with actual clients who have real world legal issues.

Engagement Experiences: “Cleveland-Marshall’s clinics and externships expose law students to a variety of professional experiences, which help them become creative problem solvers.

Students who learn in context through engagement transition to employment more successfully.”

- Carole O. Heyward, Clinical Professor

The C|M|LAW faculty is committed to strengthening the curriculum and expanding teaching strategies to prepare students to practice law in the 21st century. The new “engagement experience” model for clinical and practical legal education will ensure that every graduate of C|M|LAW had the opportunity to develop practical skills that will be useful after graduation.

The new model will permit students to choose from an expanded variety of experiential learning opportunities, including sports and entertainment law, estates and trusts, intellectual property, criminal defense, criminal prosecution, real estate law and corporate and transactional law. Within each engagement experience students have an opportunity to develop skills in communication, problem-solving, negotiation, persuasion, and client interviews and interaction.

Students at Work “I was able to extern in the Chambers of a Federal Judge — an experience that has proven to be not only impressive to employers and personally rewarding, but also an affirmation of the skills C|M|LAW is teaching.”

Jeffrey Panehal ’13

“The legal intern certificate, issued by the Supreme Court of Ohio, allowed me to represent the State of Ohio in juvenile prosecutions under the supervision of practicing attorneys. With my certificate, I felt like more than an extern. I felt like I was part of the team.”

Danielle Doza

“A lot of people who need help can’t afford it. I would like to combat the justice gap in Cleveland. ”

Firsthand knowledge As an extern for Nueva Luz Urban Resource Center, an organization that addresses the root causes of poverty and health inequities in Cuyahoga and Lorain counties, Doza assisted HIV/AIDS case management services by helping them add a legal component to case management. She gained practical experience, but for Doza, the most valuable lesson came from just being there.

“I got to see the problems firsthand, I got to worked directly with clients in poverty, who had mental health issues, who had language barriers – I came to understand their needs. Now, I’d like to carry the pro bono practice forward to address the needs of the larger population.” Doza also worked with the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association to encourage attorneys to offer pro bono services in order to close the justice gap.

The 2012 recipient of the C|M|LAW Learn Law. Live Justice. Award, Doza plans to carry her work to Central America this summer after taking the July bar exam. Through the Anti-homophobia Legal Clinic El Salvador, associated with Asociación Entre Amigos (AEA) in San Salvador, she will join attorney-volunteers for 10 weeks, serving HIV positive and LGBT citizens, working to educate the judicial offices on the discrimination faced by these populations and assist in writing legislation to address these inequalities.

The Cleveland State Law Review The Cleveland State Law Review, founded as the ClevelandMarshall Law Review in 1952, is currently celebrating its 60th Anniversary. Each academic year, the Law Review publishes four issues featuring the work of scholars, judges and practitioners on topics of both national and local significance. Law Review members endeavor to publish a scholarly legal journal of the highest quality and promote academic achievement in the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law community.

The Law Review continued to focus on its ascent in the Law Review Rankings, which are administered by Washington & Lee University School of Law’s annual Law Journal Rankings. The Law Review published articles written by prominent national authors such as David T. Hardy, Senior Attorney with the National Rifle Association, who wrote an article highlighting the NRA’s Annual Spring Meeting & Exhibit as well as Patrick J. Charles who authored a Second Amendment piece concerning an issue currently on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit.

In addition to being a quality publication, the Law Review is a generous one, and strengthened its connection with the community by raising money for a local charity, the Center for Families and Children Success Partners.

The Journal of Law and Health, founded in 1984, provides a forum for discussing issues important to both law and medicine. It is one of the few publications that focuses on the complex and diverse field of healthcare law. Articles are drawn from all disciplines that offer a perspective on the legal aspects of medicine and health sciences. This pandisciplinary format allows flexibility in both the type and length of articles published.

In the past year, The Journal of Law and Health expanded its online availability to HeinOnline, PubMed, and ProQuest, and published two Issues containing original articles sharing insights on health law and medicine. The Journal of Law and Health also hosted two successful Continuing Legal Education events, each with over 200 attendees.

The Journal of Law and Health hosted a broad range of speakers for a symposium to educate the legal community about cyberbullying’s negative effects on adolescent mental health and to discuss the need for cyberbullying legislation. The Journal of Law and Health also presented a speaker event to educate the legal, medical, and public health community about Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy (Medical Child Abuse).

OUTREACH

C|M|LAW serves as a focal point of community legal education by hosting special events and traveling exhibits.

17

In conjunction with Kol HaLev, C|M|LAW hosted “The People versus King David, A Trial and Panel Discussion”, in which law professors, judges and attorneys presided over the trial of King David.

Following the trial, a panel of prominent Cleveland religious leaders reflected on the moral and ethical dimensions of the case.

The C|M|LAW Library was pleased to host the traveling exhibition “Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War”, an examination of how President Lincoln used the Constitution to confront three intertwined crises of the Civil War - the secession of Southern states, slavery, and wartime civil liberties.

In partnership with The Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association, C|M|LAW hosted “Lawyers Without Rights,” an exhibit produced by the German Federal Bar and shown for the first time in Ohio.

“Lawyers Without Rights” told a series of stories about the Nazi treatment of a huge percentage of German lawyers – those who were Jewish.

Great Lakes Sports and Entertainment

Law Academy Cleveland-Marshall College of Law hosted the first Great Lakes Sports and Entertainment Law Academy as a joint venture with Case Western Reserve University School of Law. Over 50 students from Ohio and around the country participated in this unique engaged learning opportunity. At the Academy, students were immersed in a variety of courses covering sports and entertainment law with an emphasis on practical applications of the course work to real world issues confronting attorneys who are active in these fields.

Carl Pantejo, a second year student at C|M|LAW: “it’s great to be immersed with contract drafting; beforehand the only experience I had was in my first year contracts class. So to roll up your sleeves and work with the materials and actually draft contracts is great—very practical.”

The Academy also boasted an all star cast of guest speakers including Jason Hillman, General Counsel, Cleveland Cavaliers; Mark Termini ’84, President of Mark Termini Associates Inc. and an NBA Agent; Dan Polster, United States Federal Judge; and David Gilbert, President and CEO of the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission.

Mike Henderson, a first year student at C|M|LAW: “We’re getting people from the Cleveland area who are very influential in basketball, football and baseball; the music industry, the entertainment industry—the whole broad spectrum. These are people we wouldn’t normally have access to.”

Students from the academy competed for a limited number of externships at high profile organizations, including the Cleveland Browns, the Greater Cleveland Film Commission, Global Spectrum, and the Lake County Captains.

By emphasizing practical education and providing targeted externship opportunities, The Great Lakes Sports and Entertainment Law Academy is another example of how C|M|LAW is leading law schools in engaged learning opportunities.
