Loyola University New Orleans has fully supported and fostered in its educational programs, admissions, employment practices, and in the activities it operates the policy of not discriminating on the basis of age, color, disability, national origin, race, religion, sex/gender, or sexual orientation. This policy is in compliance with all applicable federal regulations and guidelines.

From the Dean

As this academic year draws to a close, it is an appropriate time to reflect on the status of the law school and the significant accomplishments of 2010 – 2011.

One of the major innovations of this year is the institution of a program designed to enhance the success of our students—in law school, on the bar examination, and in practice after graduation. Newly created were a course stressing legal analysis and writing, expansion of one-on-one sessions for students with professors dedicated to individual student needs, and a guided curriculum to better prepare students for the challenges ahead. The results of these efforts by our Academic Support Program have been encouraging and promise even greater success in the next few years.

It is a goal of the College of Law to enrich the learning experience of students with a variety of learning opportunities, in and outside the traditional classroom venue. This year, we were afforded the chance to hear from a number of distinguished attorneys, including President Torben Melchior of the Supreme Court of Denmark, Dean Timothy Endicott of the Faculty of Law of Oxford University and the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation Scholar, and Professor Anastasia GrammaticakiAlexiou of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki School of Law. Additionally, oral arguments of the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals and the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board were held on campus this spring, as were panel discussions including one conducted by the United States War College under the auspices of its Eisenhower Series College Program and another focusing on the constitutionality of the Obama Health Law. Also, the Loyola Law Review sponsored a legislative symposium on recent developments in Louisiana law, and the Loyola Journal of Public Interest Law hosted an immigration symposium.

Our students celebrated a number of successes in moot court competitions, earning our moot court program recognition as one of the top 10 in the nation. Victories include placing first in the National Criminal Procedure in San Diego, recognition as runner-up in the Tulane Mardi Gras Sports Law Invitational, and receiving citations for both best oralist and outstanding brief in the Bankruptcy Competition in New York.

Our clinical students were instrumental in obtaining a significant settlement for clients who were being discriminated against in housing based on family status and have also been working with low-wage immigrant workers to recover wages promised to them as they helped to rebuild New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.

Sincere congratulations are extended to our 2011 graduates from whom we expect major achievements. We hope you will remember your alma mater with fondness and loyalty in the years to come.

As I prepare to return to teaching, I thank you all for your encouragement and support this year and the honor you bestowed upon me by allowing me to serve as your dean. I leave this office with an insight that could only be provided by having served in the capacity as dean, and I appreciate that opportunity.

Finally, I hope you will all join me this summer and in the fall, as we welcome our ´ ´ Lopez, new dean, Professor Maria Pabon and that we all unite behind her to continue the progress of Loyola College of Law.

News College of Law hosts immigration symposium As the firestorm surrounding immigration in the United States continues to divide the nation, the College of Law and the Loyola Journal of Public Interest Law brought together legal scholars and experts for a day to examine best practices for states to work within federal guidelines. “Federalism at Work: State criminal law, noncitizens and immigration related activity” was held on November 5.

The symposium examined the role that state criminal law has or should have in the context of immigration, immigration-related activities, and unauthorized or undocumented migration. The keynote speaker was Professor Bill Ong Hing of the University of San Francisco School of Law, who has authored numerous academic and practice-oriented publications on immigration policy and race relations.

Speakers on the first panel addressed the use of state criminal law to heighten, complement, or independently accomplish state immigration-related goals, with state initiatives such as Arizona’s Senate Bill 170, which requires law enforcement to stop and check the status of those they believe reside in the state illegally.

The second panel featured law professors with

expertise in immigration, criminal justice, and constitutional law, and clinical law professors with practice expertise. In addition, panelists discussed how these issues have played a role in Louisiana law enforcement and in the Louisiana legislature.

Symposium participants included: Jennifer Chacón, senior associate dean for academic affairs, University of California, Irvine School of Law; Nora V. Demleitner, dean and professor of law, Hofstra University School of Law; Ray T. Diamond, the Jules F. and Frances L. Landry Distinguished Professor Law, Louisiana State University Law Center; Ingrid Eagly, acting professor of law, UCLA School of Law; César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández, Capital University Law School; Hiroko Kusuda, assistant clinical professor, Loyola University New Orleans College of Law; Karla McKanders, associate professor of law, University of Tennessee College of Law; and Joe Harrison, representative from the 51st District to the House of Representatives, State of Louisiana.

Loyola Assistant Professors of Law Andrea Armstrong and Johanna Kalb moderated. Papers and symposium proceedings were published in the spring 2011 volume of the Loyola Journal of Public Interest Law.

Military Court comes to campus The College of Law hosted a special session of the U.S. Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals on November 16. The U.S. Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals is an independent appellate judicial body authorized by Congress and established by the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force. The court hears and decides appeals of Air Force court-martial convictions and pending appeals.

The special three-judge panel session at Loyola was part of the court’s “Project Outreach,” which holds court away from its permanent courthouse in Washington, D.C., and is

intended to educate and demonstrate to the public the operation of a federal court of appeals and the military criminal justice system. Following the case, the judges and advocates answered questions from those in attendance.

College of Law long-time employee honored The College of Law held a reception to pay tribute to one of its longest-standing employees, Semora “Lola” Davis. Davis, the assistant director of law admissions, retired last year after working at the university for 38 years. The tribute helped raise money for a scholarship in Davis’ name, created by the Black Law Student Association. The scholarship is awarded to two African-American first-year law

students who exhibit an interest and commitment to public service and/or to Loyola BLSA activities.

“Lola worked with Loyola’s BLSA chapter from the time she arrived at Loyola. This was BLSA’s way of memorializing her immeasurable contributions to BLSA and African-American students at the law school,” said Michele Allison-Davis, assistant dean of admissions in the College of Law.

Faculty, staff, students, and family gathered to wish Semora “Lola” Davis (center), assistant director of law admissions, well in her retirement from the College of Law. SPRING 2011

The Loyola Legacy

The Anzelmo Family Passes Down A Legal Tradition

BY NATHAN C. MARTIN Three generations of Anzelmos currently practicing law in Louisiana—Salvador, J.D. ’50, his sons, Tommy ’70, J.D. ’73, and Don, J.D. ’76, and Tommy’s son, Tom, Jr., J.D. ’99—have in common blood, juris doctorate degrees from Loyola, and a deep love and excitement for the law and the fascinating ways it evolves. Each describes his profession in terms of a constant learning experience, something that is practiced and never perfected, a discipline whose rules change from day to day. They call it a jealous profession because it demands so much of their time and energy—but while building thriving practices, each has also nourished a strong family.

Their successful balance of dedicated lawyering and family life has resulted in a robust lineage of Louisiana attorneys—one that could conceivably stretch far longer than three generations.

toward practicing medicine, Don had a change of heart: “I realized that I totally hated chemistry and the sciences and didn’t know what I was thinking,” he says.

“The more I thought about it, I realized I should go with what I was good at. I always seemed to write well and speak well enough, so it was a natural changeover [to pursue law].”

Loyola Law Becomes a Legacy Once they decided to practice law, choosing a law school was not a difficult decision for Tommy or Don. “I was accepted to Loyola, Tulane, and LSU, all three schools I applied to,” Don says, “and it never Three generations of Anzelmos: Salvador, J.D.’50, once crossed my mind not to go to Loyola.

From a young age, following in his father’s footsteps appeared to Don the last thing he wanted to do. He was aware of the amount of time away from his family his father had to spend, and as he became older, the urge to carve a path in a different profession was still strong.

“I fought going to law school,” Don says. “I wanted to be a doctor. I knew that my father worked extremely hard, and his practice always seemed to come first—I now know better, but it appeared that way while I was growing up. From the outset, I had the mindset that I would try something else.”

WJP Director Luz Molina and her staff assist workers every Thursday at the wage claim clinic.

Giving a Voice to Workers The Workplace Justice Project provides legal counsel to those in need

By James Shields

uU An influx of immigrants and low-wage workers moved to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to help with rebuilding efforts. More than five years later, affordable legal counsel needed to protect their rights is still in high demand. The Workplace Justice Project in the Stuart H. Smith Law Clinic and Center for Social Justice is allowing the Spanish-speaking and low-wage workers in the community to feel that their voices are heard.

Two local grants, totaling more than $87,000, were recently given to the WJP in the clinic, which educates, advocates, and litigates for lowwage workers in the greater New Orleans area.

The clinic received $67,700 from the Baptist Community Ministries of New Orleans and $20,000 from the IMPACT 2010 Program at the Greater New Orleans Foundation. The grants will allow the clinic to hire more staff and continue their efforts. BCM is a private foundation that provides financial support to nonprofit organizations in the five-parish greater New Orleans region. GNOF is a regional leader in promoting responsible philanthropy and equitable outcomes by connecting donors to community needs.

Loyola’s application was subjected to a rigorous process by Baptist Community SPRING 2011

Ministries, and in the end, Loyola was awarded the grant because “the WJP’s application was thoughtful, measured, yet comprehensive. The request was modest for the level of effort the project planned to implement,” said Luceia LeDoux, vice president of public safety/governmental oversight grants at BCM. “It was also well-executed, we think WJP will raise awareness in the legal community regarding the scope and impact of unpaid wage claims. In addition, actual wage recovery, through litigation, or mediation, will occur.”

Richard Martinez, program officer for GNOF, says the organization took the clinic’s extensive track history into consideration when awarding their grant. “The Wage Clinic stands out as an example of the leadership and role they play in supporting the rights of our region’s diverse population, including Latinos,” said Martinez.

The clinic, which has recovered more than $500,000 in lost wages since 2005, allows third-year law students the opportunity to represent indigent clients under the supervision of experienced attorneys. By participating, student practitioners not only have the chance to experience firsthand what it’s like to represent clients, but they also have an opportunity to further the Jesuit ideals of 17

Global Appeal Professor Patrick R. Hugg provides students with an international perspective

fF For Patrick R. Hugg, John J. McAulay Distinguished Professor and chair of the International Committee of the South East Association of Law Schools, the study of law is a global endeavor—a concept he and his colleagues have continued to expand upon at the College of Law for the past 25 years.

Hugg earned an A.B. from Spring Hill College in 1970, a J.D. from the University of Louisville in 1978, and an LL.M. from Tulane University in 1981. Prior to joining Loyola in 1986, he practiced labor and employment discrimination law in New Orleans. His research and teaching interests include Professor Patrick R. Hugg the fields of comparative law, European Union law, and International Trade.

But it is Hugg’s passion and belief in the importance of studying comparative law that have made him such an asset to the College of Law. “It is important to me that students are exposed to other cultures,” says Hugg. “Exposure to different religions, activities, and legal systems all enhance a legal education, particularly for students studying law today, as globalization forces civil and common law interaction. Our students have a serious advantage over those unexposed to both legal traditions.”

Since becoming director of international programs at the College of Law 11 years ago, Hugg has continued to grow the study abroad programs started by Professors Keith Vetter and James Klebba, making them some of the top programs of any law school.

“We have some of the highest quality comparative and international programs,” says Hugg. “We take students to the action and allow them to interact directly with the legal actors in their own legal environments.”

20

The College of Law currently sponsors established international programs in six foreign countries: Austria, Brazil, Costa Rica, Hungary, Mexico, and Russia. These programs are taught by Loyola faculty as well as faculty from the host law schools abroad, and they offer a broad selection of comparative and international law courses with particular emphasis on those relevant to the host countries’ legal systems and cultures. Yet more novel, the College of Law annually sponsors two 10-day peripatetic or immersion international seminars. One focuses on the institutions of the European Union, with lectures by principal leaders in the institutions, attendance at oral arguments, and social events with the judges and lawyers, traveling via Brussels, Luxembourg, and Strasbourg. The other moving seminar explores the roots of civil law and visits Istanbul—the former Byzantium where Justinian developed the Corpus Juris Civilis (a foundational collection of law for the civil law tradition)—Ephesus, and concludes in Greece.

Consistent with Loyola’s strategic goal, the College of Law has developed these extensive international educational experiences. The popularity of these programs has continued to grow, now with waiting lists for several of them. Last summer, 200 students from throughout the U.S. participated in the college’s international programs, including students from Australia, Turkey, Russia, and the Netherlands Antilles. At the College of Law, one-third of first-year students participate in the programs each year.

“We also take pride in being one of the few law schools in the U.S. that offer language instruction to supplement our law curriculum, emphasizing the importance of serious engagement with other legal systems and cultures,” notes Hugg.

In addition to the summer programs, the college sponsors the Moscow State University, Yeditepe University in Istanbul, The Annual Visiting Michaelle Pitard Wynne program that invites a Netherlands Antilles, Sogang University, South Korea, and most distinguished foreign scholar each year to offer a special seminar in recently Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece.

The work is expected to drive a renaissance of New Orleans R&B music, which evolved into Rock and Roll in the late 50s and 60s. During his days at Jesuit and Loyola, Cullen helped defray the cost of his education with his work in the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame band, The Jokers. During his years with The FBI and following his return to New Orleans as a practitioner and judicial hearing officer, the love of New Orleans and its music was a constant. In 2003, he formed the Midnight Streetcar and insisted that the repertoire be totally enriched with the works of the creative giants who had been performing during his Jesuit and Loyola days. The first words of the liner notes, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, reflect the spiritual approach to this album and life in general that Cullen first encountered at Jesuit and Loyola.
