This is an exciting time at Gonzaga Law. This past year has seen many changes and the coming academic year will bring more. On June 4, we welcomed 24 students for our new Accelerated J.D. program. This group of students is incredibly motivated and energetic, and so far they are having a wonderful experience. The school is also launching a program for lawyers educated in other countries to get a United States J.D. at Gonzaga, based on the accelerated program. Because they already have one law degree, they will be able to receive a J.D. from us in as few as 15 months! We will be the first law school in the country offering this option. Professor Megan Ballard has been named our Associate Dean for Global Education and will direct this new program.

We are innovating in other ways as well. In summer 2015, we plan to offer our first fully online course – Professional Responsibility. Professor Brooks Holland is gearing up to teach this class so that our students can take this required class while working or externing somewhere other than Spokane. We are getting into the online education world while making sure the class has the quality that we demand.

Our outstanding Legal Research and Writing program has also expanded. Under the skillful direction of Professor Cheryl Beckett, the fourth semester of Legal Writing will now offer a choice of four capstone courses: transactional drafting, judicial opinion writing, appellate drafting and advanced advocacy.

We have 128 students in our 1L class. This represents an 18.5 percent increase over last year. During a time of decreased enrollment in law schools nationally, we are very proud of this accomplishment. Our students have an average age of 26. The 1L class is 46 percent female and 19 percent is from traditionally underrepresented groups. Just over half of the class is from outside Washington. Our 1L class attended 64 different undergraduate institutions.

I hope many of you will have the opportunity to meet some of these extraordinary people.

Thank you for all you do for Gonzaga Law. I have enjoyed meeting with each of you during my travels across the country to touch base with as many alumni as possible. And if your plans bring you to Spokane, I hope you will stop by and say hello.

In the News Mission: Possible Returns to Altagracia, Dominican Republic

For 10 Gonzaga Law students, the warm temperatures and long days of Spring Break were spent in the Dominican Republic as a part of the 11th annual Mission: Possible service trip. The trip, possible through fundraising activities throughout the year, as well as individual contributions from the students, includes a week volunteering in Altagracia, a small rural village about an hour from the country’s capital, Santo Domingo.

Doing Good

2 | THE GONZAGA LAWYER

The group worked on various community service projects, including repainting the village’s Community Center, a structure used for community events and a hurricane shelter (one of two concrete buildings in town). Students also assisted elders with yard maintenance, teaching English in the Altagracia primary school, and working at the Luz Maria Education Center in the nearby town, Cruz Verde.

Eleven years ago, GU Law’s very first Mission: Possible group broke ground at this Education Center, which provides training in sewing and computer use to further local micro-enterprise projects and career prospects for youth. This year’s Mission: Possible group assisted in preparing a community garden and creating a concrete walkway to the building. These were in partnership with Seattle-based nonprofit Sister Island Project.

Support From Gonzaga and Spokane

2014 Mission: Possible

The students – three of them returning to Altagracia for the second or third trips (Katie Shircliff, Catherine DiSarno and Luke Eaton) – brought nine bags of donations ranging from school and medical supplies to sports equipment and clothing donations.

Katie Shircliff (3L), Catherine DiSarno (2L), Luke Eaton (2L), Diana Alvarado Chavez (3L), Staci Dixon (1L), Christena Georgas (1L), Rafael Laue (1L), Tonilynn Savage (1L), Maren Sorenson (1L) and Anna Timberlake (2L).

Donations were provided through local organizations and sports teams, including Gonzaga and Whitworth men’s baseball, Gonzaga women’s basketball, Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center, and the law school’s own Women’s Law Caucus, Sports and Entertainment Law Club, Street Law, and Professor Cheryl Beckett.

An Immersive Experience During their time in Altagracia, the group lived with host families who only spoke Spanish. Five participants spoke Spanish, and native speakers Diana Alvarado Chavez and Rafael Laue served as translators.

Mission: Possible culminated its time in the DR with a visit to Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE) to meet with Dominican law students. The students attended a lecture given by a UNIBE professor and law students on the Dominican legal system and then had the opportunity to discuss legal education and the Dominican law school experience with students.

Launching new legal education options Within an ever-changing legal market, law schools must continue innovating. At Gonzaga Law, this has meant the creation of two new programs: The Accelerated J.D. program launched in 2014, and the J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers program, announced in 2014;

6 | THE GONZAGA LAWYER

anticipating the first cohort in 2015.

Same Education, Less Vacation: The Accelerated J.D. Program At Gonzaga Law, legal education has always been about much more than just providing theoretical instruction to students. From the start, Gonzaga has focused on providing a legal education that finds solutions for students and meets the developing needs of the legal profession. In 1912, innovation meant creating a law school in Spokane. By 1970, it meant creating a day program for students to attend law school full time. In summer 2014, innovation manifested in the beginning of the Accelerated J.D. program, the first in the Northwest.

“This provides an extra year of opportunity for students,” said Dean Korn. “Practice-ready law graduates are not a fantasy – Gonzaga Law has been graduating practice-ready lawyers for years, and this program will speed the process without sacrificing educational quality.”

The Need For Innovation

international student. Ranging in age from 21 to 48, they bring

Legal education has been undergoing a major restructuring effort over the last few years. At Gonzaga, as well as in law schools around the country, this change has resulted in smaller incoming classes. With fewer students taking the LSAT and applying, law schools are faced with the choice of admitting students who have not demonstrated the characteristics that have been strongly correlated with post-graduation success in order to fill seats, or shrinking the class size. Gonzaga has chosen to continue the focus on the career success of our graduates. This has meant smaller incoming classes.

a wide range of personal and work experience, including legal

In 2013, President Obama suggested a two-year law school program may be an effective option to address this restructuring.

American Bar Association President James Silkenat said, “Legal education in the United States is the best in the world, but it must continue to evolve to match the rapid changes that are taking place in legal practice.”

A Successful 1L Year In June 2014, 24 students enrolled in this new program.

This first cohort of students are from 12 states, with one

assistants, crisis managers, issues advocates, small-business owners, and community leaders. Some are at the beginning of their professional careers; many others are taking the two-year program as an opportunity to change careers. As of January 2015, the self-identified “Core 24” students have completed their first two terms of classes and are officially 2L students on track for May 2016 graduation.

Statistics of the First Cohort Median GPA............................................. 3.27 Median LSAT........................................... 154 Total students......................................... 24

However, the American Bar Association requires that students receive 58,000 minutes of instruction for their Juris Doctor degree. “It is the responsibility of law schools to find solutions for the challenges of legal education,” explained Jane Korn, dean of Gonzaga Law. “While it would be irresponsible to cut the education students receive, it would be equally imprudent to fail to adapt to the changing needs of the legal industry and law students.”

In the Accelerated J.D. Program, students complete the full Gonzaga Law curriculum, including 12 required credits of experiential learning, in 24 calendar months. This is accomplished by adjusting the academic calendar to allow students to take a full course load over the summer months.

The doubling of the experiential learning requirement ensures that students receive the same level of practical experience as students who generally take internships and externship experiences over the summer.

Global Law at GU: The J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers Legal issues do not stop at national borders. Business, finance and trade are global. The global migratory nature of legal issues is giving rise to a need for lawyers with transnational legal and cultural skills. Building on this need, Gonzaga Law has launched the new J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers and anticipates classes starting in May 2015. Most internationally trained lawyers will have the option to complete this J.D. program in as few as 15 months, with the year-round curriculum established with the Accelerated J.D. program.

Our new course, Common Law Analysis and Communication, will offer instruction to international students in all three of these areas:

Lawyers from abroad who understand U.S. law, legal culture and the nuances of legal English can support U.S.-based law firms, businesses and public interest concerns in different countries.

These transnationally trained lawyers can also provide services to firms, governmental entities and businesses based in their home countries.

Even the structure of this course is innovative. It will be collaboratively taught by law faculty and faculty from Gonzaga’s English Language Center. Language and academic support will be embedded within the law content to facilitate language expertise and academic success.

A Different Kind of International Program Gonzaga’s J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers will position graduates well to provide such legal expertise. Most international students with law training who choose to study in the United States enroll in one-year Master’s of Law (or LL.M.) programs that enable them to sit for a bar exam in only four states. Many of these programs are geared to provide an overview of U.S. law, but graduates of our J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers will benefit from the same foundational instruction required of all U.S. lawyers, as monitored by the American Bar Association. Provided graduates meet other eligibility requirements, they can take the bar exam in all 50 states.

8 | THE GONZAGA LAWYER

While students earning a J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers will benefit from Gonzaga’s proven success in educating skilled, ethical lawyers, this new program incorporates a curricular innovation. Most students will be required to enroll in a course specifically geared for English-language learners who come from a civil law or mixed legal system.

Learning the language of law can be difficult for native English speakers. And understanding how judges can simply “say what the law is,” as Chief Justice John Marshal instructed in Marbury v. Madison, is not clear even for students raised in the United States. Finally, adjusting to the format and rigors of a law classroom can pose a steep learning curve for many U.S.-based students.

• use of English in an academic legal setting; • elements of our legal system and processes likely unfamiliar to international students not steeped in a common law tradition; • academic culture and expectations of U.S. legal education.

Building on Existing Strengths Students in the J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers program will also take most of the same first-year courses required of all J.D. graduates, as well as have the opportunity to solidify their skills through experiential learning with seasoned lawyers. In addition to our new Common Law Analysis and Communication course, students will take at least two legal research and writing courses. This skills-based J.D. in only 15 months of study is available through the 12-month curriculum established through our Accelerated J.D. program.

Gonzaga University, with its roots in global education, is wellsuited to provide a J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers.

In addition, international J.D. students will benefit from the law faculty’s expertise in international education. More than onethird of Gonzaga’s full-time law faculty have taught law courses or seminars outside the United States to lawyers and law students for whom English is not a first language.

Creating a More Diverse Community The benefits of this innovative program will extend beyond the impact on graduates from around the world and their clients.

Gonzaga’s international and domestic law students will be in the same classes together and enjoy organized interactions and impromptu social connections. This exchange will expose all students to the varied legal rules and structures throughout the

Megan Ballard Gonzaga Law Professor and Associate Dean of Global Education

world. A global law school environment will broaden opportunities for all students to acquire skills to help communicate with clients from various legal traditions.

These opportunities are valuable because transnational and cross-cultural issues arise even in practice areas long considered to be purely domestic. Within our borders, for example, the population is growing more diverse.

From 2000 to 2013, 24 million immigrants to the United States have gained lawful permanent residence or have become naturalized citizens. Clients not fully accustomed to U.S. legal culture need competent advocacy from lawyers who can anticipate and help bridge likely areas of difference.

Innovation and globalization have long been part of the DNA of Gonzaga University and Gonzaga University School of Law. The new J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers will prepare the next generation of transnational lawyers and strengthen the intercultural competency of all our graduates. Any alumni interested in serving as mentors for international students should contact Falesha Ankton, at fankton@lawschool.gonzaga.edu.

As of June 2014, Gonzaga Law Professor Megan Ballard has been named the inaugural Associate Dean of Global Education.

“Transnational and cross-cultural issues now arise in areas of law that we once thought of as purely domestic,” said Ballard. “This new position will allow me to help prepare our graduates for a more global practice of law, whether they are from outside of the United States and choose to practice in their home countries, or are U.S.-based and elect to practice law here.”

Prior to teaching, Professor Ballard served as a law clerk for Justice Shirley S. Abrahamson, now Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. She also was an Associate with Perkins Coie in Seattle, and Special Counsel with Foley & Lardner in Madison, Wis. Professor Ballard’s practice included general litigation, litigation of trust, estate and community property matters, estate planning and charitable foundation work.

Professor Ballard taught courses as an Adjunct at the University of Wisconsin Law School before becoming an Associate Professor at Washburn University School of Law. She joined the Gonzaga faculty in 2004.

Professor Ballard has extensive experience teaching and researching in various countries. In addition to field research in Brazil for her LL.M. degree, she earned a Fulbright grant in the country of Georgia, and a Gonzaga Research Council grant for research in Colombia.

Professor Ballard has taught law courses in Georgia, Guatemala and Italy.

Professor Ballard’s pro bono work and community service also has had an international focus. In 2013, she created a curriculum and coordinated a half day workshop for refugees in Spokane on U.S. law and legal systems. She has also provided pro bono representation for political asylum seekers and served as a volunteer attorney with judges in Phnom Penh through the Cambodian Court Training Project.

Both the Accelerated J.D. and J.D. for Internationally Educated Lawyers programs have requirements that give students the full benefit of the Gonzaga Law curriculum.

For Accelerated J.D. students, the time-to-degree is compressed and the experiential learning requirement has increased to account for the fact that summer internships and externships are not an option.

For Internationally Educated Lawyers, the requirements have been adjusted since these students receive up to 30 credits for the undergraduate law degree they have already earned.

Finally, Traditional J.D. students now have an Experiential Learning Requirement of six credits, double the amount that has been required since the 2009 curriculum update.

“For the last 101 years, Gonzaga Law has taken pride in being in front of the pack when it comes to providing legal education that pursues justice for all, while finding solutions to the immediate challenges facing students and the community, This re-dedication to experiential learning is the latest example of Gonzaga’s dedication to innovative methods of legal education.”

Going Above and Beyond Current National Requirements When considering what the ABA requires for experiential learning and skills training, and what other law schools count for those credits, Gonzaga Law students benefit from a much richer experiential learning program.

Utilizing the ABA’s very broad definition*, students at Gonzaga benefit from being required to complete 18 to 24 credits of skills-training qualified classes for graduation.

“Many say that the experience [of an externship] is ‘truly transformative.’”

*Currently, the American Bar Association has no specific requirements for “experiential learning.” ABA Standard 302(a)(4) outlines that students must receive “substantial instruction” in professional skills, while Standard 302 (b) outlines that schools should offer “substantial opportunities” for real-life practice experiences, but does not require that any school fulfill all student requests to participate in these experiences. The ABA indicates in its interpretation of this standard that a variety of classes that include counseling, interviewing, negotiation, problem solving, drafting, alternative dispute resolution, and management of legal work can all fulfill this requirement.

Student News Kevin Downs Presents Arguments at 9th Circuit Court In February 2014, third-year law student and Thomas More Scholar Kevin Downs took on a challenge that many lawyers may never get to tackle: arguing a case in front of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court, seated in Seattle for that session, was considering the case of United States v. Manuel Morfin-Diaz, where Downs, supervised by an Assistant U.S. Attorney, presented oral arguments on behalf of the United States.

Addressing Recent Legal Decisions Morfin-Diaz asks whether a defendant’s previous state conviction qualified as an “aggravated felony” for purposes of subsequent immigration proceedings and sentencing determinations. The recent U.S. Supreme Court opinion in Descamps v. United States specifically addressed how these issues should be analyzed.

Descamps, which was argued at the Supreme Court by 1980 Gonzaga Law graduate Dan B. Johnson, was decided on June 20, 2013.

Delving Into the Law

12 | THE GONZAGA LAWYER

Though Downs was responsible for arguing this case in front of the Ninth Circuit, this was not the first immigration case he had worked on. While working with an Assistant U.S. Attorney over summer and fall 2013, Downs worked with several other law clerks on similarly framed cases, also in front of the Ninth Circuit.

This work and familiarity with the issues of the case, along with

The U.S. Courthouse in Seattle, where Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals hears cases.

several months of working closely with supervising Assistant U.S. Attorneys, led to the suggestion that Downs be the one to argue in front of the Ninth Circuit panel. Audio of the arguments may be heard on the Ninth Circuit website.

A Rare Real-Life Experience After receiving word that he would be presenting oral arguments, Downs delved into preparation. “I spent the last several months researching case law, listening to preand post-Descamps arguments, reviewing the record and discussing the case with my supervisors and fellow law clerks,” explained Downs. “Despite these efforts, I always felt there was more to be done. I recognize that arguing at the circuit court level is incredibly rare, particularly for a law school student. I feel very fortunate.”

Putting Experience to Use After graduation in May, where Downs was elected the student commencement speaker, he returned to his native Montana to work as a law clerk at the Montana Supreme Court. Before and during law school, Downs has been extraordinarily dedicated to public service, serving around the world in communities that serve marginalized populations.

Student News Sawyer and Faber Win 79th Annual Linden Cup Competition After a round of appellate advocacy that eight state Supreme Court justices called “excellent,” “impressive” and “very close,” Kaytlin Sawyer and Katherine Faber received the 2014 Linden Cup. The decision of the justices was split between Sawyer and Faber and the team of Stuart Cassel and Alexander Biel, who were named runners-up.

The Best Oralist Award went to Stuart Cassel, with Katherine Faber as runner-up.

A Dual Question Up For Debate The Moot Court case presented in this year’s Linden Cup asked two specific questions: if objective or subjective tests are appropriate for determining “threat,” and what kind of questioning counts as “custodial interrogation.”

Kaytlin Sawyer and Katherine Faber are presented the Linden Cup by Dean Jane Korn

“This has been one of the strongest and most enjoyable Linden Cup competitions,” commented Justice Mary Fairhurst, former Linden Cup winner and Gonzaga Law alumna.

Preparing for Legal Practice Students participating in Linden Cup are judged mainly on their ability to present appellate arguments in front of a panel of judges, as well as general courtroom demeanor.

Local practitioners, law school faculty, judges throughout the region and state Supreme Court justices volunteered their time to serve as Linden Cup judges, and to provide personal feedback to the participants on their performance. Associate Professor Kevin Michels, who served as faculty adviser for the competition along with Associate Dean Sandra Simpson, said, “The students showcased advocacy skills that would be considered first-rate in any court.”

“If you’ve looked at the list of people who won or came in second, you will note the prominence of those names,” commented Washington Associate Chief Justice Charles Johnson. “I can look at the list and see… attorneys who have parlayed this experience into professional careers of note.”

*9 months after graduation

3 Over the last three years, the largest graduating classes from from Gonzaga Universtity School of Law have been posting consistently improving employment results.

In 2011, 2012, and 2013, the national average for employment of graduates nine months after graduation has been decreasing, with 11.2 percent of 2013 graduates unemployed and seeking work.

Inversely, only 6.2 percent of Gonzaga Law’s 2013 graduates were unemployed and seeking work. 2013 graduates, both in bar passage required positions and J.D. advantage positions, were employed at rates well above the national average.

Caitlin Moran, GPILP President

Stuart Cassel

Danielle Shyne

GPILP awarded Stuart Cassel a $4,000 grant to help him complete his work as a Criminal Justice intern with the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington (ACLU-WA) in Seattle. Cassel worked over 400 hours on criminal justice and drug policy reform. His work mainly focused on policy research and advocacy. Cassel assisted in 11 major projects including cases, motions, memos and bill proposals. One of Cassel’s major projects over the summer was to research areas in Washington law of over-criminalization. His research revealed more than 3,000 crimes, some for conduct like water skiing, placing an ad on utility poles, and being a member of the Communist Party.

GPILP awarded Danielle Shyne a $4,000 grant to support her work at the Unemployment Law Project in Spokane, Washington. The Unemployment Law Project defends the rights of employees. Shyne’s work focused on representing individuals during hearings for unemployment benefits.

Through his internship with the ACLU, Cassel gained perspective on many flaws in the criminal justice system and the quantity of work needed to correct those flaws. Cassel reflected on his work at the ACLU: “Even with the work of great organizations like the ACLU-WA, there is just so much work to do to fix these issues. While public interest work that directly supports individuals is crucial, my summer experience showed me how crucial large-scale policy work is to public interest causes.”

Over the summer, Shyne spent 400 hours working with nearly 50 clients and representing 14 individuals at their unemployment hearings. Shyne represented individuals who otherwise would not have had representation during their unemployment hearing. She gained valuable experience in administrative law hearings, writing appeals, and working with underserved clients.

Shyne attributes her interest in working at the Unemployment Law Project to her desire to serve the public and underserved individuals. Employees are an increasingly marginalized and unprotected section of society, explains Shyne. The unemployment compensation program is a part of the Social Security Act signed by President Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression with the purpose to prevent unemployment and “to lighten its burden which now so often falls with crushing force upon the unemployed worker and his family.”

* The Gonzaga Public Interest Law Project is a 501c3 nonprofit organization established within Gonzaga Law to promote otherwise

uncompensated public interest legal work and provide law students with $2,000 to $4,000 grants for internships in public interest and pro bono practice firms.

Maren Sorensen

GPILP awarded Jessica Placensia a $2,000 grant to support her legal internship at the Riverside County Law Office of the Public Defender in Murrieta, California. As a legal intern, Placensia worked on over 200 cases, representing clients in both misdemeanor and felony criminal proceedings. Placensia’s work with the Public Defender’s Office allowed her to appear and negotiate dispositions on behalf of clients in arraignments and alleged violations of probation. Placensia’s work included drafting investigation requests, filing motions with the court, arguing motions before the court, and second-chairing a misdemeanor trial. Placensia contributed nearly 400 hours of service to the public in this role.

GPILP awarded Maren Sorensen a $2,000 grant to support her work as an extern for the King County Prosecutor’s Domestic Violence Unit in Seattle where she completed more than 450 hours of service. The goal of the Domestic Violence Unit (DVU) is to increase accountability of domestic violence offenders and to improve safety for the victims and their children. During her externship, Sorensen assisted the unit with this goal by completing work on over two dozen cases, participating in research on minimum sentencing laws and new case law, drafting fact statements and witness lists, and monitoring hundreds of defendant jail calls to victims and witnesses.

Placensia firmly believes in helping those who need assistance.

Working with the Public Defender’s office furthered her commitment to public service by facilitating a means where she was able help provide legal aid to those who were unable to afford legal representation. Placensia describes her internship as an “incredibly rewarding experience made possible by GPILP.”

One of the essential parts of the DVU is to listen to jail calls made by defendants to determine if they are engaging in witness tampering. Many defendants call victims after their arrest to persuade the victim to recant any statements made to police and to be uncooperative in the investigation. In several cases, Sorensen was able to find multiple instances of witness tampering, which resulted in additional charges and the ability of the prosecutor to introduce more evidence at trial. Sorensen appreciated the opportunity to advocate for victims and ensure they received justice. She is grateful that GPILP gave her the opportunity to do so.

Placensia advises fellow legal professionals: “Do what makes you happy. If working in public service makes you happy, then do it. There is nothing worse than being at a job that you hate.

So if public service means something to you, then make it happen and you will be grateful in the long run when you’re not asking ‘what if.’ ”

The Center for Law in Public Service continued to explore and support law student pro bono and public service efforts in 2014. Impressive levels of student engagement ignited new pro bono service initiatives and strengthened existing programs.

Gonzaga University School of Law highlighted the student body’s commitment to service through the voluntary Pro Bono Distinction recognition.

The Moderate Means Program continues to grow at Gonzaga. In partnership with the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) and the three law schools in Washington state, the Moderate Means Program connects those in moderate-income households with attorneys who offer reduced-fee legal help. Since its June 2011 launch, more than 120 Gonzaga law students volunteered to field 4,000 requests for assistance, complete 2,800 intake interviews and refer 935 cases. A law student reflected on his Moderate Means Program experience, “I think MMP has shown me [that] other attorneys fit pro bono into their schedules, so it is possible. Also, finding time to volunteer now, during a very busy semester, I am conditioning myself to it. It has to be part of my career.” Attorneys who are members of the WSBA may sign up to participate with the Moderate Means Program at www.myWSBA. org. Prospective clients can learn more and apply for Moderate Means Program assistance at www.moderatemeanswa.org.

Gonzaga Law students continue to team up with attorney volunteers through a partnership with the Spokane County Bar Association’s Volunteer Lawyers Program. Through the Family Law Attorney Student Help (FLASH) program, the Center for Law in Public Service recruits and coordinates student volunteers to attend weekly Family Law Advice Clinics at the courthouse and twice-monthly Divorce Advice Clinics at the Volunteer Lawyers Program office. A small team of FLASH students also assist attorney volunteers at the Volunteer Lawyers Program outreach clinic at Women’s Hearth, a drop-in center for homeless women in downtown Spokane.

Gonzaga’s Juvenile Record Sealing Clinic continues under the leadership of five student coordinators and with the strong partnership and support of TeamChild and the Northwest Justice Project. Students recruited attorney volunteers to assist pro se clients at four record sealing clinics in 2014. TeamChild attorneys George Yeannakis and Rosey Thurman and private attorney Jaime Hawk trained law students and volunteer attorneys about the record sealing process in October 2014.

With the support of the Center for Law in Public Service, Gonzaga’s Law Student Alliance for Social Justice (Alliance) engaged myriad social justice speakers through Public

“The time and effort these students devote to volunteer service work is an inspiration and truly has a positive impact in the community.”

Student leaders brought together law students professors, and local, regional and national legal professionals for noon-hour discussions about social justice and public interest issues. Lunchtime gatherings continued throughout the summer months at “Social Justice Jams” for students taking summer courses. The Alliance hosted a Spokane City Council debate during fall 2013 and partnered with the Center for Justice’s Riverkeeper program to organize a river cleanup in spring 2014.

79,304 hours = 9.05 years of public service given in 1 year The 17,304 hours recorded this year include work at the National Crime Victim Law Institute, the Washington State Bar Association Moderate Means Program, the Northwest Justice Project, the YWCA of Spokane, the YWCA of Tacoma-

Student leaders geared up for a busy 2014-15 academic year.

Fifty first-year students volunteered together at the 1L Orientation Service Project at Catholic Charities Spokane Furniture Bank in September. Third-year Thomas More Scholars will lead two service projects: The first culminated in a Restorative Justice MCLE-accredited training at Gonzaga this past October; and the second will engage law student volunteers to provide information and education about the juvenile record sealing process. For additional information about student-led pro bono and social justice initiatives, please contact the Assistant Director of Gonzaga’s Center for Law in Public Service, Catherine Brown, at 509-313-3688 or brownc@lawschool.gonzaga.edu.

During the 2013-2014 school year, Gonzaga Law students logged 17,304 hours of volunteer public service work (for which they received no academic credit). Nearly 11,000 of those hours were spent providing law-related services. In addition to this volunteer work, Gonzaga Law students also spent about 62,000 hours providing legal services to the community for academic credit in their externship and Legal Clinic assignments.

Alumni Department Update JEFF GELDIEN

22 | THE GONZAGA LAWYER

The past year has been busy for our department as we continue to do the very important work of alumni development and engagement. Dean Korn has challenged us to continue our modernization efforts, as well as to visit and reach out to areas the law school has not yet traveled. We have alums living and/ or residing in 49 states across the country. Although most of our alumni base is located in the Western half of the United States, there is an increase in alums who return to the East Coast, specifically Washington, D.C., as well as the Midwest and Southern part of the country. As Gonzaga’s reputation grows nationally, the University attracts students from all across the country, many of whom will return to their hometowns and states to practice. We want to keep these alumni engaged with the hope that they will support the law school in the future. Our alumni continue to stay engaged with the law school by participating in mentoring programs, judging moot court competitions, assisting with mock interviews and, of course, supporting the school financially. By staying engaged, alumni are able to give back to the school and help their alma mater grow and advance.

Close to 7,000 living alumni are an essential part of both the local and global communities in which they reside. Gonzaga alums continue to make a difference all across the country and world. As the law school grows and increases its focus on global efforts, the Department of Development and Alumni Relations also plays an integral part in this energetic endeavor. It is not uncommon for our department to receive several inquiries each month for referrals. Increasingly, we are being asked to provide international contacts, as many of our alumni are networking on a global level. The law transcends our local communities; we are seeing more and more interactions across country borders and the oceans. Gonzaga Law is taking a leadership role by offering a U.S. J.D. degree to internationally educated lawyers. Once these students graduate, we will see many of them return to their home countries. We look forward to them becoming part of the ZagLaw nation as they increase our presence globally.

For more information on how to stay engaged and support the law school, please contact Jeff Geldien, Director of Development and Alumni Relations, School of Law at 509-313-6121 or jgeldien@lawschool.gonzaga.edu

’50s and ’60s Class Reunion The 1950s-1960s All-Class reunion was filled with reminiscence and creation of new memories. Alumni from Oregon, Idaho and Washington traveled to Spokane to celebrate with their classmates. The class of 1950 was our eldest year present. The class of 1959 was our most represented class with six alums. Over the weekend, alums enjoyed a class reception at Northern Quest Casino, Mass at the Law School chapel, a Jesuit mission presentation, and a formal dinner with Dean Jane Korn to wrap up the weekend. Gold Club members (those who have been in the legal field for 50 years or more) received a Gold Award, and spouses received a rose for their support throughout the years. Gonzaga Law is thankful for such a successful weekend.

Loan Repayment Assistance Program Recipients The Gonzaga Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP), established in 2007, would like to recognize the 2013-2014 recipients.

The LRAP provides loan repayment assistance (up to $4,000 per person per year) to a select number of graduates who are pursuing careers in public service.

The program reflects Gonzaga University’s humanistic, Jesuit and Catholic mission by supporting those serving in the public interest work sector.

Generally, careers in public service pay less than those in the private sector of law. The program provides financial assistance by encouraging students to work and remain in public interest law. Applicants with outstanding law school student loans, both federal and private, are eligible to apply for the LRAP. If you would like to support either the General LRAP or John R. Clark LRAP, please contact Jeff Geldien at 509-313-6121 or jgeldien@lawschool.gonzaga.edu.

Kathleen Box Northwest Consumer Law Center – Seattle Gonzaga University School of Law, J.D., 2012 Eastern Washington University, B.A., 2009

Box knew she wanted to become an attorney because of the unique position lawyers are in to assist others and effect change in politics, the law and society. While in law school, Box spent two years in the Consumer Law Clinic. This experience helped shape her interest to pursue a career helping others in consumer law. “I have really enjoyed the last year working in the public interest consumer law field. The more time I spend in this area, I realize there are very limited resources available for low-income consumers who are being taken advantage of.”

Box chose Gonzaga Law School because of the great people and the fact the students seemed to truly enjoy their law school experience in Spokane. “The most rewarding part of my job is having the ability to make a difference in people’s lives.”

Cooley is a public defender for the state of Idaho. Cooley was originally drawn to becoming an attorney because of her interest in helping others.

“My belief that there were many people who needed assistance in navigating our often complex legal system, and I could provide that assistance, led me to consider becoming an attorney.” She started as a county public defender in Canyon County, Idaho. After gaining experience, Cooley accepted a position with a private litigation firm with the goal of utilizing her legal research and writing skills. Cooley was drawn to Gonzaga because she found the people to be very friendly. “Further, the Jesuit philosophy and commitment to public service also very much impressed me.” Ultimately, Cooley finds satisfaction in knowing she helps her clients navigate their individual situations, as well as helping them understand the options they have to solve their problems.

Raychelle Morrill Kalispell Tribe of Indians, Legal Department – Airway Heights, Wash.

Gonzaga University School of Law, J.D., 2008 Southern Utah University, B.A., 2005

Morrill, who serves as a Paralegal with the Kalispel Tribe of Indians, takes great pride in her public service career. She was originally drawn to becoming an attorney when she was an undergraduate.

She mentioned she was saddened by the number of girls who did not believe they could advance and attend law school. While a law student at Gonzaga, Morrill had the opportunity to be involved with the Gonzaga Public Interest Law Project (GPILP) and Mission: Possible. She truly enjoyed helping the individuals and families who had great need. Morrill spends most of her time working with families and children involved in the Indian Child Welfare system. “It is a difficult area to work in because the cases are often emotional. Knowing what has happened to some of the children involved in the system is heartbreaking. The most rewarding part of my job is when we have been able to work with a family and can finally reunify them.” Morrill was drawn to Gonzaga because of the values of the school, as well as the wonderful opportunities Spokane provided to her while a law student.

The Clark LRAP, established in honor of the late John R. Clark (’80), was established to support Spokane-area public defenders. Clark was a passionate lawyer, always fighting the good fight for the accused.

Clark had a heart of gold and was recognized by his peers as one of the leading attorneys in the Spokane area, specifically for criminal defense work. Clark’s family and friends established the LRAP for those graduates who wanted to pursue a career in public service as public defenders with the goal of assisting them to manage their law school loans.

Dave Hamlin Spokane County Public Defender’s Office – Spokane Gonzaga University School of Law, J.D., 2011 University of Washington, B.A., 2003 Dave Hamlin with Judge Ellen Kalama Clarke, (’82)

Hamlin, who majored in Criminology as an undergraduate, knew for a long time that he was interested in the criminal justice system.

After turning down offers to work in law enforcement, Hamlin made the commitment to become a lawyer. Being a Spokane native made Gonzaga a logical choice for Hamlin. During law school, Hamlin volunteered for several agencies and quickly realized that a common problem existed: access to justice. “I noticed the amount of people who had really large legal issues, but had no access to the court system because they lacked the financial resources to get an attorney.” Hamlin is proud of the commitment that public defenders have to their clients, often balancing an extremely large caseload. “It is no secret that public defenders have a very large caseload. Trying to keep up with the needs of so many clients is a very difficult aspect of working for the public defender’s office. The most rewarding aspect of the job has been the cases in which I have felt I helped the client obtain justice in the case.”

THE GONZAGA LAWYER | 27

Holce, who is a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Walla Walla, always knew he wanted to become an attorney. He chose Gonzaga Law School because of the Jesuit tradition the school provided. “I appreciated the Christian ties and potential public interest projects.

Gonzaga also offered a sense of collegiality, which enabled me to have a great experience as a law student.” After his first year of law school, he approached the Walla Walla County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and became its first legal intern, which ultimately led to a job after graduation. Holce focuses on helping the juveniles he sees come through the system. Additionally, he names challenges which relate to simple case volume. “Thus far in my legal career, the biggest challenge has been the sheer number of varied cases I have dealt with on a regular basis.” Prior to attending law school, Holce was an optician in Walla Walla and now that he has a law degree has a continued and special interest in revamping the limited legislation regarding optician training.

Alumni Endowed Scholarships

The Yale Metzger and Susan Richmond Scholarship for Students with an Alaskan Heritage Yale Metzger (’95) met Susan Richmond while studying law at Gonzaga; they married three weeks after he graduated. Together they have enjoyed a life full of hard work and adventure.

As the only state in the union without a law school, Metzger saw opportunity to begin – and sustain – a successful law practice in Alaska where the need was great. The result has been a highly successful solo practice, focusing primarily on civil litigation, transactional work and advising business organizations. Susan also has enjoyed a very successful career as a rural court administrator for the Third Judicial District of the State of Alaska.

Without a law school, Alaska residents have always had to travel to attain their J.D. Gonzaga has become a popular law school for Alaskans, and Metzger and Richmond have reached out, establishing a scholarship to assist students with Alaskan heritage to attend Gonzaga.

“At Gonzaga, I was treated by the faculty and administration as a person instead of as an exam number, or some name on a seating chart,” Yale said. “I always felt encouraged to succeed. I was also assured that having gone through the admissions process, I had the skills necessary to succeed to complete my legal education.”

When Metzger returned to Spokane for his 10-year reunion, he was very impressed that the faculty members he encountered remembered his name and that he was from Alaska. “I was inspired by Gonzaga’s example to try, after 10 years, to remember each of my clients’ names and the details of the problem I helped them solve. Gonzaga set a great example of the importance of paying attention to this very humanistic detail.”

Yale, whose first career was in law enforcement, often worked with attorneys who fueled his desire to attend law school.

28 | THE GONZAGA LAWYER

As Yale built his practice, he took great pride in knowing how much his Gonzaga legal education prepared him to help people. And he enjoys building relationships with his clients.

“In my law practice, people often come to me with complex problems and don’t know where to begin looking for solutions,” Yale said. “Their legal and personal problems have often caused considerable disruption and distress in their lives. I assure them that they will get through their current legal dilemma. Then, I help identify their legal issues, prioritize them, organize a plan for dealing with them, and ultimately implement a plan for solving these problems.”

As Yale built his law practice, Susan’s career provided her with a great opportunity to improve the administration of justice in rural Alaska.

“I get to visit these rural courts to assist in developing procedures to meet their unique needs. I receive great satisfaction in working with the Alaska Court System, ensuring that Alaskans, no matter how remote, receive access to justice that is fair and impartial,” Susan said.

Now Yale and Susan are paying it forward. They both received scholarship support while attending college at the University of Alaska-Anchorage, and Yale received help while attending Gonzaga Law. “These scholarships helped us both financially, as well as helped us develop an understanding for the importance of supporting the universities we attended. We want to ensure that future students are provided with the educational and professional opportunities from which Susan and I have both benefited,” Yale said.

Although Yale and Susan both work very hard in their respective careers, they make sure to enjoy life outside the office. They own an old fish cannery in the remote part of Prince William Sound, which they enjoy visiting with friends and family often. Additionally, Metzger and Richmond recently purchased a home in Argyll, on the west coast of Scotland. The home is listed by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland, requiring the couple to learn how to manage their historic property from half a world away for most of the year. When not overseas, the couple enjoy collecting artwork from some of Alaska’s most noted artists, paintings from the 16th through 19th centuries, and hunting and fishing all over the world.

Gonzaga Law would like to thank Yale and Susan for their support of law students, as well as their commitment to the law itself.

FR. FRANK CASE S.J. VICE PRESIDENT FOR MISSION

How fortuitous to be asked to write something on mission for this issue of The Gonzaga Lawyer with its intriguing theme of Globalization and Innovation!

In 2014, we Jesuits celebrated the bicentenary of the “Restoration of the Society of Jesus.” Globalization and innovation are themes that have characterized Jesuit history from the beginning. If you know anything about Jesuit history you know that it has been one of fascinatingly innovative apostolic ventures, like the Missions among the Guarañi Indians in Paraguay or Matteo Ricci’s work in China, quite often bucked by the headwinds of threatened entrenched interests, both within the church and from external political forces. Interestingly at the time of our Restoration, John Adams bespoke an opinion about the Jesuits that must have been shared by others of our founding fathers. He stated: “I do not like the Resurrection of the Jesuits. . . . Shall We not have Swarms of them here? In as many shapes and disguises as ever the King of the Gypsies, Bamfield More Carew himself, assumed? In the shape of Printers, Editors, Writers, School masters, etc. If ever any Congregation of Men could merit eternal Perdition on Earth and in Hell, . . . it is the Company of Loiola. Our System however of Religious Liberty must afford them an Asylum.”

Restoration from what?

The Jesuits had run afoul of the monarchs in Portugal, then France, and then Spain. We were suppressed in these countries at first and eventually, due to pressure from these fronts, the Pope suppressed us in 1773. Only Catherine of Russia permitted us to continue to exist, and eventually we were restored by papal order in 1814. Innovation has its risks, as this history demonstrates, but on the other hand globalization presents a very attractive invitation to undertake innovative ventures of all sorts.

When during Ignatius’ lifetime as General local families recognized the quality of education being offered to the young Jesuits, they asked Ignatius to open schools for their sons. Ignatius had for several years refused to do so on the grounds that his men had to be highly mobile and ready to go wherever the Pope wanted to send them. But he gradually recognized that education would be an extraordinarily effective way to have a profound effect for good within society and we became educators – even to the tune of founding around 800 schools worldwide by the time of our Suppression in 1773. After the Restoration the Jesuits accompanied immigrant European populations into the United States and helped, through education, to integrate them into the U.S. culture and society. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope, was formed in this same tradition of innovative responses to the greatest needs. The Second Vatican Council has been described as the point in time at which the Church shifted from a self-identity commonly called “Eurocentric Christianity” to an identity as a “global” Church. This entails and demands dialogue with other cultures, dialogue with other religious traditions, and a general openness to the entire world. How do we respond to this world’s greatest needs? To see how Pope Francis is doing this, read his recent Apostolic Exhortation, ”The Joy of the Gospel,” or read the interview he gave to the Jesuit editor of Civiltá Cattolica, later published in English in the Jesuit journal America. Just his actions show us that something new and fresh is with us as a church of the world. Perhaps the idea I find most captivating is his suggestion that we open the doors of the church – not so that those who have left can come back in, but so that we can go out and engage them in dialogue and discussion. That is innovation, my friends. That is innovation.

St. Ignatius of Loyola was born in 1491, the year before Columbus sailed.

After his conversion from a life of gallantry to one of discipleship of Jesus and after his studies at the University of Paris where he met his first companions, these men soon made their way to Rome to offer their services to the Pope. The companions had decided that they wished to serve the greatest needs of the church and world. And who better to know these needs than the Pope? The Order was established with papal approval in 1540, obviously in a context of rapidly expanding global awareness following the discovery of the New World. At the Pope’s request, Jesuits were sent to far-off missions – Francis Xavier to Goa and then to Japan, others later on to China, India, Tibet, Latin America and elsewhere.

Many missionary efforts in those days accompanied the efforts of the European nations to colonize the new territories. And early missionary efforts had a tendency to replace the local, indigenous religions with a Europeanized Christianity. But fairly early on the Jesuits recognized something of the sacred in ancient indigenous cultures, something to be respected and honored. As one Jesuit missionary among our own Coeur d’Alenes said, “The Jesuits had not come to eradicate the sacred ways of the native peoples, but to ‘graft’ Christianity onto those sacred native ways.” The Jesuits in the Paraguay missions among the Guarañi developed very creative, rather sophisticated communities governed by the natives, called Reductions. The movie “The Mission” gives a succinct accounting of how they ran afoul of Portuguese efforts to enslave the natives and take over their territory. Innovation characterized the Society’s earliest apostolic efforts.

Professor Ann Murphy Earns Second Fulbright Grant to Teach in China Gonzaga University School of Law Professor Ann Murphy has, for the second time in seven years, received a Fulbright grant to teach law in China. Starting in late August, Murphy has been residing in China and is teaching for 10 months at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE) Law School. In 2007-2008, Murphy resided in Beijing and taught at the Central University of Finance and Economics and China University of Political Science and Law. Teaching Comparative Law Classes

Murphy is teaching two English-language comparative law classes as a Distinguished Chair Lecturer. While both classes will be taught in English, all students will be Chinese. SUFE was founded in 1917 and serves as a University that focuses on applied economics and management with approximately 22,000 students.

“The thing I am most looking forward to is meeting the students and faculty,” Murphy said. “I have made lifelong friendships with so many people I was able to meet the last time I was there.”

Only One Legal Teaching Fulbright Grant This Year

The Fulbright educational exchange initiative was created in 1946 by the U.S. Congress, and is overseen by the State Department.

In the 2007-08 academic year, Murphy was one of 28 teaching Fulbright scholars and one of eight legal professors who received Fulbright grants. Due to federal funding cuts, there are only seven

total Fulbright grants for teaching this year, and Murphy is the only law professor who was offered the prestigious award.

This duplication of Fulbright awards was made possible by a change in the rules, which allow applicants to “demonstrate compelling circumstances” for a second award. Murphy cited the fact that China is currently considering uniform rules of evidence in its courts, a subject area in which Murphy excels.

“I’m not there to tell them to do it our way, because that’s not appropriate, but I’m there to help in any way I can and indicate why our rules are the way they’re structured and whether that’s working,” she said. “It’s a prime time to be there.”

Encouraging International Cooperation With Communication

“The Fulbright program is tremendous. The true goal is building communication and sharing cultures,” explained Murphy. “If we better understand each other, the more likely we are never to have to engage in combat.”

The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government. It is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.

“To say this is a gift is really an understatement,” Murphy said.

“I am unbelievably fortunate to receive a second Fulbright and I am thankful to Congress and private individuals and groups for funding this amazing program.”
