Seton Hall Law Professors Who Transformed Lives “Compassionate rigor” is how Ronald J. Riccio ’71 characterized the unique ethos he sought to create at Seton Hall Law School when he stepped into the role of Dean on July 1, 1988. With that, Dean Riccio began to transform the Law School into the renowned institution it is today.

Presenting Dean Riccio with the Distinguished Graduate Award at the Annual Alumni Dinner Dance on May 6, Dean Kathleen M. Boozang encapsulated his tenure: “He became Dean of Seton Hall Law at a critical time and he worked magic, hiring over 30 faculty, overseeing the construction of a magnificent building, and achieving a #2 ranking for student satisfaction among American law schools.”

Dean Riccio’s 45-year career as teacher, attorney and transformative dean earned him accolades from decades of former students who attended the Dinner Dance.

As a teacher, he was voted Professor of the Year five times and received the Catania Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching. As a practicing attorney, Dean Riccio’s colleagues at the bar are struck by the preparation, creativity, and integrity he brings to every endeavor. That overall excellence was recently recognized by the New Jersey Law Journal, which named Dean Riccio the 2016 Attorney of the Year. After 29 years of service at Seton Hall Law, Dean Riccio announced that he would retire from teaching. He continues to practice law as General Counsel at McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter, LLP. Also retiring this year are Professors Wilfredo Caraballo, John F. Coverdale, Bernard K. Freamon and John B. Wefing. Each professor has contributed decades of dedicated service to Seton Hall Law, blazing new trails throughout their multifaceted careers.

“The vision and stewardship of Seton Hall Law’s retiring faculty made the Law School what it is today,” said Dean Boozang. “I take very seriously my and the faculty’s obligation to sustain the legacy of a group of people whose investment in their students and Seton Hall Law was boundless.”

“The excellence of our faculty, and their focus on teaching, have enabled our students to pass the bar in record numbers and obtain rewarding employment at a rate that places us in the top tiers of law schools nationwide,” Dean Boozang concluded. “Our graduates have immense gratitude for these fine teachers who have guided them towards singularly fulfilling careers in the legal profession.”

Letter from Our Dean My first year as Dean flew by, punctuated by incredible milestones: the remarkable career success of our graduating classes, celebrating the first Seton Hall Law alum ascending to the New Jersey Supreme Court, and witnessing the remarkable achievement of a Seton Hall lawyer becoming Attorney General with a 37-0 vote.

By any measure, Seton Hall Law has had a fantastic year.

First and foremost, our graduates proved once again that they are well-positioned to excel in the legal profession.

Seton Hall Law was ranked #16 by the National Law Journal for the Class of 2015’s employment in “gold standard” jobs, those requiring bar passage. And the same class placed Seton Hall Law #1 in New Jersey bar passage and #4 in New York among area law schools.

Seton Hall Law faculty continue to be nationally recognized. This year, Professor Michael Simkovic was awarded the Young Scholars Medal by the American Law Institute, and Professor Andrea McDowell was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. Remarkably, this is Seton Hall Law’s second Guggenheim in as many years.

Professor Thomas Healy was named a Fellow in 2015, and this year has added a Fellowship at Harvard’s Center for African and African American Research and was also awarded a Public Scholar Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

But this is also a signal year for our faculty in an entirely different way. Our alumni have heard the news of our faculty retirements with great poignancy – it is truly the passage of an era of faculty whose unparalleled dedication to Seton Hall Law students and alumni continues to sustain tremendous relationships. Wilfredo Caraballo, John Coverdale, Bernard Freamon, Ron Ricco and John Wefing contributed much to our lives, for which we are grateful.

As the Law School’s new dean, I could not have wished for a more generous embrace from our alumni and I thank you. A great number of judges, law firms, and corporate counsel offices hosted me for “State of the

Law School” conversations, where we talked about the challenges of law practice and legal education, and explored creative collaborations. I appreciate your warmth and receptivity and look forward to further discussions. I plan to continue these visits this year, and look forward to further conversations with more of our alumni.

Our alumni also continue to make a difference in our students’ lives. For instance, Jodi Hudson ’96 celebrates her 15th year as Director of the Seton Hall Law Moot Court Program, which has been ranked among the Top 20 for the past 6 years. Thanks, too, to the alumni who work with Jodi and our other moot court and mock trial programs, enabling our students to develop skills that will serve them well no matter their professional paths.

The Seton Hall Law community continually manifests its core values – Integrity, Loyalty, Engagement – through excellence in legal practice, setting the standard for the State of New Jersey and beyond. I am touched by your eagerness to support Seton Hall Law in advancing both the education of our students and career development opportunities for them and for one another. I want to do all I can to sustain our dialogue. Please feel free to reach out with your ideas. I would welcome a conversation with you.

Warm regards,

Kathleen M. Boozang Dean and Professor of Law

An enduring

Legacy

Seton Hall Law honors the faculty members whose teaching and scholarship have changed the lives of students over many decades, and who have chosen to step down at the end of the last academic year.

We asked each, what brings you the greatest joy as a professor? Here are their stories.

Seton Hall Law Magazine

Wilfredo Caraballo “I went to law school to become a civil rights attorney because I wanted to challenge the status quo,” Professor Caraballo said.

“I had taught Science to 7th and 8th graders in the South Bronx and loved it, but it never occurred to me to teach law school.”

That opportunity came in 1975 when Professor Caraballo joined Seton Hall Law to launch the Hispanic Clinic. “I quickly realized that being a law professor offered me an unbelievable opportunity to combine public service with teaching, which was a perfect arrangement,” he said. Professor Caraballo was a founding architect of the Legal Education Opportunities (LEO) program in 1977. “It was clear to me, from my days growing up in the Bronx, that economic and educational disadvantages are intertwined and that sets the stage for anyone’s prospects,” he said. “We created LEO to provide a path to a J.D. degree for students whose disadvantages might have held them back from becoming lawyers. We did whatever it took to help LEO students succeed, sometimes staying up all night with them to work on their papers. Over the years, LEO students have proven repeatedly that we are correct to have faith in their abilities.”

A gifted and beloved teacher and administrator, Professor Caraballo served as Associate Dean from 1988 to 1990 under Dean Riccio. Meanwhile, he had been elected to the School Board of South Orange/Maplewood, and it gave him an appreciation for the impact that elected service can offer. After taking a leave to serve as the Public Advocate and the Public Defender for the State of New Jersey in the Florio administration, he returned to teaching, committed to continue his public service. He decided to run for the New Jersey State Assembly in 1995: “I wanted to be a part of the body that makes the decisions rather than just being affected by those decisions,” he said. He represented the 28th, and then the 29th, legislative districts from 1996 to 2007, earning a lasting renown that, just this year, earned him a place among the 51 most influential Latinos in New Jersey, according to NJ Politicker.

Still, as he completes his 41 years of service at Seton Hall Law, Professor Caraballo is grateful for the challenges and joys of the classroom and working with his students. “For me, teaching is as exciting as it gets.”

John F. Coverdale “One of the most satisfying aspects of teaching for me is helping a student discover a new talent,” said Professor John Coverdale.

As a mid-life career changer – from historian to tax attorney to legal scholar and teacher – Professor Coverdale is quite familiar with how undiscovered talents can lead to new pathways.

An established professor and scholar of 20th century Spanish history for nearly 20 years, in 1981 Professor Coverdale decided, “I needed to make a different contribution to society.” Inspired by his lawyer friends from high school, he pursued a J.D. After graduation and a clerkship with Antonin Scalia, then a judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Professor Coverdale practiced as a tax attorney for several years in Washington. But he found he missed life as an academic and joined the Seton Hall Law faculty in 1993.

For the past 23 years, Professor Coverdale has intertwined his passion for tax law and his deep Catholic faith, with scholarship spanning law review articles on tax exempt organizations and two books chronicling the founding and growth of Opus Dei. He taught courses in Tax law and also, in Catholic Social Doctrine, holding informal discussion sessions that brought together faculty and students to explore issues of the day. “We had dialogues about Pope Francis’s messages about the environment and sustainability, for instance, or his statements on the economy,” Professor Coverdale said. “For me, these opportunities to meet and talk about complex issues exemplify the best attributes of the Seton Hall community – thoughtful, open, respectful, and eager to learn from one another.”

Bernard K. Freamon “A highlight of my career was the day we hung the ‘Seton Hall Law Center for Social Justice’ sign at the clinic’s entrance on McCarter Highway,” said Professor Freamon. “That sign made a statement to Newark that Seton Hall Law School is here to represent and give voice to the underserved populations in our city. Not many lawyers can hang that kind of shingle. To this day I have graduates tell me that their CSJ experience was one of the most rewarding and valuable of their careers.”

Professor Freamon’s dedication to advancing human rights sparked innovative and transformational educational programs for Seton Hall Law students, starting with his work in the Center for Social Justice in the 1980’s. Teaming with Dean Ronald Riccio and other faculty, Professor Freamon helped forge a clinical model that was among the first of its kind in the country, with its duel focus on justice and providing hands-on learning for students in a community lacking pro bono services for the poor.

Over the next 20 years, Professor Freamon introduced a number of groundbreaking studyabroad initiatives, bringing more than 700 students into comparative law programs held in Cairo, Egypt and later in Amman, Jordan. His continued focus on human rights sparked the launch of the popular winter intersession course in Modern-Day Slavery and Human Trafficking held in Zanzibar, Tanzania, the only ABA-accredited course of its kind.

“My fondest memories of these programs emanate from watching students immerse themselves in parts of the world most had never visited, studying subjects they had never been exposed to before: Islamic jurisprudence, international criminal law, oil and gas law, international human rights and legal issues emerging in the Middle East and Africa,” Professor Freamon recalled. “These are opportunities they may never have the chance to experience again.”

Ronald J. Riccio ’71 Ron Riccio returned to his beloved alma mater in 1988, when he was appointed Seton Hall Law’s Dean after 16 years in private practice. Dean Riccio’s agenda for his first year in the role would have crowded another dean’s entire tenure: funding and planning a new building in Newark, transforming the Law School’s ethos to be student-centered, healing divisions among the faculty, restructuring the Law School’s clinics, creating new programs, and reforming the curriculum. He was remarkably successful on all counts.

With its sweeping atrium and timeless design, the Seton Hall Law building, dedicated in 1993, has met the faculty’s original aspiration for Seton Hall Law’s “campus,” “to serve as a landmark for Newark…a place where students would flourish, and in which the public would be served.”

Dean Riccio also launched an aggressive initiative to hire nationally distinguished faculty members to enhance the School’s visibility on the national stage, including Professor Eugene Gressman, Chief Judge John Gibbons, and Congressman Peter Rodino, while also appointing young scholars who would ensure the future of Seton Hall, including two who would be his successors as Dean.

Remarkably for someone who shouldered so many administrative duties, he also became one of the most celebrated and beloved professors in the School’s history, teaching Constitutional Law and Civil Procedure, among other courses. Most recently, he taught the popular Introduction to Lawyering class for first-year students, putting them through their paces as he would newly minted associates in a law firm. “There’s nothing better than taking a young person who wants to become a lawyer and shaping them: to understand how to think like a lawyer, to understand how to act like a lawyer, and to understand that being a lawyer is more than just knowing the law,” Dean Riccio said.

John B. Wefing Professor Wefing has taught most of the students who have passed through the doors of Seton Hall Law for the past half-century. He is noted for his expertise in federal and State constitutional law with a particular emphasis on criminal law; for his esteemed scholarship focusing on New Jersey constitutional law and figures important to the state; and for the legion of prominent attorneys, judges and government officials throughout the region who fondly recall the privilege of having studied with “The Wef.” Professor Wefing’s most significant scholarship is his remarkable contribution to the chronicles of New Jersey’s history with his acclaimed book, The Life and Times of Richard J. Hughes: The Politics of Civility, which spotlighted New Jersey’s governor from 1963-70, who later served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The book was named “required reading” by the website NJ Politicker for anyone considering running for Governor of New Jersey, and was also recognized as an Honor Book by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.

“Reflecting upon my 48 years at Seton Hall Law School, as a professor, as Associate Dean and as Acting Dean, I have a deep appreciation for the students I have been privileged to teach and for the faculty colleagues with whom I have worked,” said Professor Wefing.

“Seton Hall Law School recognizes that the transformation of a first-year student to an able, professional attorney is a process that takes place within the classroom and outside the classroom. Watching the professional progress over the years of the students I have taught, and seeing them take their places in the ranks of attorneys, judges, and public officials has been deeply satisfying.”

New Directions in Legal Education:

Students Making an Impact in Federal Court The Southern District of New York Mediation/Settlement Conference Practicum is one of Seton Hall Law’s most innovative programs, garnering praise from jurists, legal scholars, and practitioners.

Professor David M. White, Director of Seton Hall Law’s Conflict Management Program, launched the Practicum in 2011 both to promote access-to-justice for historically vulnerable populations and to provide students with a capstone experience in the most prestigious district court in the nation.

Under licensed professorial supervision, Seton Hall Law student advocates represent otherwise pro se employment discrimination plaintiffs in federal court. Under the licensed supervision of Adjunct Professors Adam E. Collyer, Maurice Q. Robinson, and Alan Serrins, students prepare mediation statements and ex parte submissions prior to their appearance before court-appointed mediators and United States magistrate judges. If the parties reach a resolution, the student advocates help to draft the settlement papers. Since its inception, more than 125 student advocates have represented more than 220 clients. The Practicum has negotiated in excess of $2.0 million in resolution of particularly challenging civil actions.

Seton Hall Law Magazine

“Financial settlements alone don’t tell the whole story,” said Professor White. “We often negotiate valuable non-monetary consideration, including reinstatement and mentor training for positions of greater responsibility. But the greatest value is often the simple restoration of dignity to those who feel disenfranchised and powerless.”

“There are no fewer than six law schools located within the confines of the Southern District of New York,” a judge recently observed. “And yet the institution with which we choose to partner is located in New Jersey.”

As noted in a recent New York Law Journal feature, Seton Hall represents the lion’s share of pro bono mediation and settlement conference advocacy matters before the oldest sitting court in the nation.

Former Chief Judge Loretta A. Preska noted that “Five years ago I observed that this initiative was the biggest ‘win/win/win’ of which I could conceive. I remain firm in that belief.”

“The Practicum embodies our social justice mission, enabling students to build valuable legal skills as they work with clients under the guidance of leading practitioners,” said Dean Boozang. “It’s one of our finest examples of lawyering in action as our students provide a valuable service for underrepresented individuals in federal court.”

Jodi Hudson ’96:

Her 15-Year Anniversary as Leader of Moot Court The Interscholastic Moot Court program, originally launched in the early 1990s under an optimistic Dean Riccio, had one trophy cabinet to hold the awards he expected the then-fledgling program to win. Today, an entire corridor is a testament to the success of the Interscholastic Moot Court team. Trophies fill the shelves of multiple glass cabinets, and the walls are adorned with plaques from regional and national competitions. Even more impressive, for six of the seven years, Seton Hall Law has always ranked in the top 16 of the nation’s 200 law schools.

“We know Seton Hall Law students are extremely talented,” said Dean Boozang, “but we have Jodi Hudson to thank for the strength of our Moot Court program today.”

Hudson’s gifts as the Director of Moot Court emanate from her own extensive litigation experience, first as Assistant District Attorney in the Bronx District Attorney’s office, and today, as Of Counsel at the law firm Connell Foley LLP. “When I was invited to lead the program in 2000, I was interviewing at Connell Foley as an Associate,” Hudson recounted. “I let them know my plans for Moot Court, and they loved it then and have continued to support my work ever since.” As Jennifer Critchley, ’02 Partner at Connell Foley notes, “many of Jodi’s students have become successful attorneys at the firm.”

“Jodi is that once-in-a-lifetime coach and mentor who sees potential in her students and she pushes them and challenges them until they realize the potential that she always knew was there,” said Nina Trovato ’16, who served on the Seton Hall Law Review and just joined the Litigation Practice Group at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in Manhattan. “Moot Court was the most valuable experience I had in law school, and perhaps the most valuable experience of my academic career.”

Hudson trains her Moot Court competitors to employ the skills of a litigator. “They learn how to master a case so they can shift and pivot on a dime no matter which direction the argument takes,” she said.

“Most of all, I teach students that arguing before the court is essentially having a conversation.”

Preparation also includes intensive practice with dedicated coaches, and Hudson is grateful to her fellow alumni who share her commitment to Moot Court – in particular, Victor Afanador ’98 and Melissa Natale ’03, who have been coaching since they graduated.

Pictured, from left, are Misbahul Fatima ’17, Maximilian Mescall ’17, Tracey Cordeiro ’17, Jodi Hudson ’96, Alexander Gacos ’18, Alexander Raap ’18, and Randy Pearce ’18. Below, right: Jodi Hudson rehearses for a competition in 1995.

“Moot court is the lifeblood of any experienced trial, negotiator or appellate lawyer,” said Afanador. “The intense regimented program that Jodi has developed lifts the craft of oral advocacy to a science that will stay with these future lawyers. I believe in her system and I instill it in both my moot court students and in the young lawyers I train at my firm.”

Hudson takes the program as seriously as she would if she were training first-year associates, well aware that litigation skills translate to career success. And her approach has paid off. “One day one of my graduates called me and said, ‘I just prepped an outline for a motion, and I showed it to the partner on the case. He looked it and asked, ‘Who taught you how to do that?’ and I said, ‘Jodi did.’ Which is as great a compliment as I could ever wish for,” Hudson concluded.

Hudson hears from most of her 300 alumni regularly, many of whom judge in the John J. Gibbons Criminal Procedure Moot Court Competition or coach one of her 15 teams. Hudson remarks, “The Moot Court program is not only an invaluable educational tool but also an incredible doorway to a network of alumni who are supportive in securing job opportunities… along with a few marriages thrown in. We are one big family.”

Delivers the Hobbs Lecture — March 28, 2016 The annual Hobbs Lecture, named in honor of former Dean Patrick E. Hobbs by the program’s generous sponsors, Peter N. ’74 and Lee Larson, provides a forum for civil discourse about the issues of the day. Governor Christopher J. Christie ’87 spoke to a standing-room-only audience of students, faculty members, jurists, practitioners and government leaders, enlivened by a free-wheeling question-and-answer session with students.

Alumni Dinner Dance Recognizes Achievements and Service May 6, 2016 The Dinner Dance saw over 400 alumni witnessing Ron Riccio’s receipt of the Distinguished Graduate Award, and paying tribute to Shoshana Schiff ’98 with the inaugural Exemplary Service Award for her outstanding contribution of time, energy, and dedication to the Law School.

“Walking into Seton Hall Law feels like walking into my home,” said Dean Riccio at the dinner, reflecting on his work overseeing the funding, design and construction of the Law School’s landmark edifice, dedicated in 1993.

“Shoshana was a star student, and today she’s more like a galaxy,” Dean Boozang observed as she introduced Schiff, a member of the Seton Hall Law Alumni Council since 1999. “I am able to balance service and practicing law because I’m at a firm that encourages and appreciates giving back,” said Schiff, a partner at Trenk, DiPasquale, Della Fera & Sodono, P.C. in West Orange. Schiff urged others to give back as well.

2016 Commencement

Hosts U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara — May 27, 2016 Preet Bharara, United States Attorney of the Southern District of New York, spoke at the 62nd Commencement exercises at the Prudential Center, when Seton Hall Law conferred J.D. degrees on 159 students and M.S.J. degrees on 31 students. SBA President Svjetlana Tesic ’16 introduced Mr. Bharara as Seton Hall University President, Dr. Gabriel Esteban, presented him with an honorary LL.M. degree.

Bharara encouraged graduates to reflect on how they will apply their law degrees in service to society.

“You are now the law’s most junior practitioners,” he said, “and there is a lot of faith and hope in all of you. In what you can do. And not only in the boardroom or the conference room or the courtroom – but also in the public square and in public life. Hope and faith that you can help usher in more tolerance and more understanding. More truth and more justice. Maybe you can be the kind of leaders we so desperately need.”

“ You are now the law’s most junior practitioners, and there is a lot of faith and hope in all of you. In what you can do.”

A New Tradition: Convocation Mass September 10, 2015 Dean Boozang initiated an annual Convocation Mass for the entire Seton Hall Law community to usher in the academic year. Last year’s Mass also formally welcomed Dean Boozang to the role she assumed on July 1, 2015. This year’s Mass takes place on September 8 at 4 p.m.

Father Nicholas Gengaro, the Law School Chaplain, stressed that the Dean requested that the Mass end with the song, “Amazing Grace,” and its message about God’s blessings. He went on, “Grace is presence and God’s presence manifests to all of us, spiritually. The Dean’s message is that Seton Hall Law reflects the vibrancy of our Catholic identity and it is a dwelling place pleasing to the Lord.”

Orientation Keynote Speaker: New Jersey’s Attorney General August 17, 2016 Although Christopher Porrino ’92 was deluged with speaking invitations after he was sworn in as Attorney General a few weeks ago, being asked to address Seton Hall 1Ls was a highpoint. When he received the invitation from Dean Boozang, he “jumped” at the opportunity to be among the first to welcome the incoming class to Seton Hall Law and to the legal profession. His own secret to success?

“Reputation, leadership, and perseverance,” he said. “If you focus on these three things, everything else will fall into place.”

Law Review Symposium: Policing the Police and Community October 1, 2015 Paul Fishman, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, served as the morning’s keynote speaker at a forum exploring race relations between the police and minority communities, the proper use of force, and police accountability. “I congratulate you...on having the courage to take on today’s topic, ‘Policing the Police and Community,’” he said in his opening remarks. “The very title for me carries with it the understanding that the police, and the communities they protect, are inextricably linked, and that each must protect and oversee the other. It is, if you think about it, an extraordinary symbiosis, and one that may be possible only in the kind of democracy in which we live in this country.”
