“ONE OF THE MOST COMMON POSITIVE COMMENTS I RECEIVED FROM INCOMING STUDENTS AT ORIENTATION WAS ABOUT THEIR INTERACTION WITH OUR ALUMS.” William C. Banks

INTERIM DEAN’S MESSAGE Dear Members of the College of Law Community: I am honored to be serving as interim dean of the College of Law. I appreciate the conversations and correspondence I’ve had with a great many of our alums. Your support and encouragement has helped make my learning curve less steep. I am enthusiastic about the future of the College of Law, and I will do my very best to lead the College through this period of transition. We are all grateful to Dean Hannah Arterian for her dedication and leadership over the past thirteen years. Hannah’s list of accomplishments is long, including her stewardship of our beautiful new Dineen Hall, and I hope you enjoy the accompanying article and photos celebrating her legacy. Being interim dean has given me the opportunity to interact with a number of our 188 entering J.D. students in the class of 2018. This is a tremendous group of students who have already accomplished much in their academic careers. They have arrived at Syracuse University with a passion to learn about the law and aspirations to apply their knowledge and make lasting impressions in the communities they will serve. One of the most common positive comments I received from incoming students at orientation was about their interaction with our alums. I thank those who were able to take part in the orientation events. It is reassuring to know that when students pick up the phone or write an email to College of Law alumni that they will receive a warm reception and the guidance they need. Our dedicated alumni network truly sets us apart. As part of the orientation week, we also welcomed 33 students from 14 different countries as the LL.M. Class of 2016. These foreign-trained lawyers come from varied backgrounds and bring to the College a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge that enriches the classroom. Our LL.M. program distinguishes itself from others in our commitment to integrate the LL.M. students into our J.D. program and its curriculum. The LL.M. program has grown quickly from our initial class of two students just four years ago to the current class. This success enables the College to offer additional international law and other offerings that appeal to our foreign lawyers. The College is working hard to broaden our international programs and we expect continued growth in this area.

Our faculty is also beginning a long-range planning process that will assure that we are positioned to prepare our graduates for 21st century practice. Our planning will place greater emphasis on experiential learning, whether in the classroom or through clinics and external programs. Many of our faculty already incorporate unique experiential teaching methods into their classes and soon we’ll be expanding upon what is already in place. Every day, I learn of many significant accomplishments our students and faculty achieve in and out of the classroom. I’d like to briefly share a few of them with you: > Professors Paula Johnson & Janis McDonald were honored by the Central New York Chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union with the Kharas Award for their leadership of the Cold Case Justice Initiative. > Since opening in January, the Veterans Legal Clinic has concluded seven cases involving the Veterans Administration, and the combined awards to the Clinic’s clients amounting to over $119,000 in back pay to our veterans. > Through the Disability Law and Policy Program, Professor Arlene Kanter continues to grow the University’s partnership with the Open Society Foundation, adding a new scholarship for a master’s in education focusing on disability rights for the School of Education. It is learning of these and so many other successes achieved by our students, staff, and faculty that makes being the Interim Dean a rewarding experience. Thank you,

William C. Banks

hen Hannah Arterian took on the role as Syracuse University College of Lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eleventh Dean, she was faced with the task of merging her vision for the College with the realities of legal education at the outset of the 21st century. With integrity, passion, boundless energy and vision, Dean Arterian rose to this challenge and triumphed. She brought to the College of Law a new energy, a new relationship with the Syracuse University community, and a new enterprise altogether. This enterprise is marked by an engaged top-tier faculty, a dedicated network of distinguished alumni and a diverse student population all collaborating in and around a new state-of-the art facility, Dineen Hall. Even though Dean Arterian stepped down on August 1, 2015, after thirteen years of service, her high standards, her influence and her many accomplishments will always be a part of the story of the College of Law.

“ H A NN A H’ S B E L IE F IN T HE Q U A L I T Y OF T HE L EG A L E DU C AT ION W E P R OV IDE A ND IN O UR C OMM UNI T Y OF T E AC HE R S A ND S C HOL A R S HE L P E D HE R P E R S U A DE A R E M A R K A B LY TA L E N T E D G R O UP OF INDI V IDU A L S TO J OIN O UR FAC ULT Y.” – Margaret Harding Associate Dean for Faculty Professor of Law

First and foremost, the College’s academics have never been on more solid ground. Dean Arterian’s leadership has meant that bar passage rates are among the top in the state, and that our students graduate “profession ready,” with a solid legal foundation and skills from greatly expanded experiential learning opportunities. This directly reflects Dean Arterian’s emphasis on having strong faculty who draw from significant achievements inside and outside of the classroom to deliver a multidimensional educational experience. Students often reflect that while College of Law professors are highly rigorous in their coursework, they are accommodating and approachable outside of the class to ensure academic achievement is met with

a personal engagement. “Hannah’s belief in the quality of the legal education we provide and in our community of teachers and scholars helped her persuade a remarkably talented group of individuals to join our faculty,” reflects Associate Dean for Faculty Margaret Harding. “She developed a supportive environment for faculty, encouraging us to pursue new initiatives and promoting our work to the SU community as well as to the broader legal academic community.” Surrounding the talented faculty and students are a number of new programs, centers and initiatives Dean Arterian helped to establish and enhance to ensure students

are best prepared to achieve their career goals and be ready for work upon graduation. Some of her noted achievements include: establishing the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism, INSCT, the first truly joint institute on campus – a fully integrated effort of the College of Law and the Maxwell School; the Technology Commercialization Law Program’s designation as the New York State Science & Technology Law Center three times; the creation of three new law clinics that meet the needs of many underserved members of the community, including the first Veterans Law Clinic in New York state; and launching a highly successful LL.M. degree program for foreign trained lawyers that has outpaced expectations in only a few years. “As a second year student, I came to Dean Arterian with a proposal for a veterans legal clinic,” notes Lt. Thomas Caruso L’14, JAGC, U.S. Navy. “She easily could have dismissed it as another pie in the sky idea from a

young student. She didn’t. She not only gave the idea a chance, she made it possible.” Dean Arterian encouraged and oversaw great efforts to provide students with the support services and guidance necessary to strive in law school and prepare for their careers. An important component of this initiative was the establishment of the Office of Student Life, a highly regarded, first-of-its-kind one-stop destination for student needs and support. Recognized many times for its innovative programs, the Office of Student Life’s dedicated staff works to ensure each student receives personalized academic support along with access to a growing set of professional-focused student activities and wellness programs. Other initiatives, including increasing the breadth of experiential education options, have greatly expanded over the last thirteen years. This includes the newly established and

highly successful Washington, DC residential externship program, expanded pro bono opportunities and career development programs, all which further a student’s academic and professional development. Dean Arterian’s efforts have further motivated the engagement of the national alumni network and our Board of Advisors. Dean Arterian reconstituted the Board of Advisors to utilize the experiences and expertise of the diverse alumni base in a manner to best position the College for the future. Under her guidance, the Board of Advisors has helped to ensure that the College not only has a plan for the future, but has

led by example, providing the funding necessary to make the future a reality. It was one of her ongoing goals to ensure that every graduate not only has heartfelt pride in their affiliation with the College of Law, but that the value of their education continually appreciates over time. Through her determination, many more alumni give back in a variety of ways, including their time and knowledge to current students and recent graduates, making them feel welcome in the College of Law family. “Hannah’s tireless time on the road has advanced the engagement of our alumni,” says Marc Malfitano L’78,

Chair of the Board of Advisors. “The College consistently has the highest annual giving participation rate among colleges within Syracuse University.” Without the support of the Board, the highest accomplishment of Dean Arterian’s vision, Dineen Hall, may not have become a reality. Under her guidance, the College was able to execute a plan that resulted in a facility that reflects the College’s commitment to legal excellence and gives students and faculty the contemporary spaces needed for legal education today and in the future. Dean Arterian led the charge for the project, from the initial plans and designs to the challenging

task of raising funding in an uncertain economy. The fact that Dineen Hall had a higher donor participation, in both number of donors and dollars raised, than any other University capital project in recent years is telling of Dean Arterian’s drive and dedication. “As a student who was able to attend class in both the new and old buildings, Dean Arterian’s legacy is most clear in her extraordinary efforts to create our new home – Dineen Hall,” says Jesse Feitel 3L. “It takes a talented person to bring so many together behind a challenging cause, but Dean Arterian’s ability to transform

the fabric of the College of Law with Dineen Hall will be something I will always appreciate.” Dean Arterian has strongly positioned the College of Law as it enters its 121st year. It is a legacy to be proud of and the College of Law community thanks her for bringing her vision for legal education to fruition and providing the College with a solid base that we will continue to build on. The entire College of Law family – students, faculty, staff and alumni – is grateful to Dean Hannah Arterian for her truly outstanding leadership. She will always have a place in our history and in our hearts.

Throughout her tenure as Dean, Hannah Arterian positively impacted the lives of countless students, alumni, faculty, staff and colleagues. Following are the reflections of some of the individuals she influenced.

“If the military has taught me anything, it has taught me the qualities of a great leader. Hannah Arterian is a great leader. The College of Law now has one of most successful veterans law clinics in the country and she made that possible. She had the rare ability to accomplish incredible achievements, but allow us all to think we did them ourselves. There are so many measurable ways that Dean Arterian improved the College of Law, but what is immeasurable is her influence. There is now an entire generation of attorneys who have been inspired by her earnestness and passion. Gratitude is often the least articulate of emotions, especially when it is so sincere. I would not be the lawyer, the Officer or the person I am today if not for her example.”

– LT Thomas Caruso, L’14, JAGC, U.S. Navy

“I know my colleagues are grateful for her drive and leadership. Her efforts to unite the College of Law community are unmatched, and she has permanently and meaningfully transformed my experience as a student here at Syracuse Law.”

– Jesse Feitel Student, Class of 2016

“During the course of her tenure as Dean, Hannah worked tirelessly with the University’s central administration to hire faculty who added to the breadth and depth of the academic program. Hannah always recognized the primacy of faculty in delivering the highest quality legal education and was indefatigable in her efforts to encourage the highest level of achievement among the faculty.” – Margaret Harding Associate Dean for Faculty

“Dean Arterian served Syracuse University College of Law fearlessly and charted its trajectory and reach beyond that which most thought possible. Status quo was never “good enough;” she knew what the College, faculty, administration, and students were capable of. She embraced change and persevered against the push-back that so often comes with change. She insisted that no one settle for the College being anything than a top-tier law school. And while Dean Arterian pushed everyone hard, she always demanded more of herself than she ever asked of anyone. Dean Arterian worked tirelessly to lead the College to where it is today, which when compared to where it was when she took over is itself astounding, because of her passionate belief in the power of a legal education and because of her deep personal sense of responsibility and commitment to the College’s students and alumni. Dean Arterian also inspired—she inspired me to make the largest gift my family had ever considered (or will ever consider in the future). Transformation is never quick or easy, but Dean Arterian truly transformed the College of Law and we all owe her our heartfelt gratitude. I will miss Hannah as Dean, but our personal friendship—like so many she formed while at the College—will endure forever.” – Melanie Gray L’81 Partner, Winston & Strawn LLP Syracuse University Trustee

“‘Dynamic’ is the best way to characterize Dean Hannah Arterian.She is an extraordinarily accomplished individual who actively avoided the spotlight. Not because Dean Arterian was not deserving of it (she was), but because she preferred and excelled in one-on-one settings. And she knew what it meant to work hard from her own life experiences as an educator, professional and parent. Hannah’s tenure was not just defined by her accomplishments, of which there are far too many to list; rather, she, in my view, should be fondly remembered for creating an environment where opportunities were available for students and alumni who earned them. While I cannot speak for the entire College, I know that I am a better lawyer, and more importantly, a better person because I was a part of the College of Law during her tenure.” – Michael A. Kaplan L’11 Associate, Lowenstein Sandler LLP

“We have been the beneficiary of Hannah’s knowledge and insight in the broader context of legal education and the College has much to show for it. Her leadership has resulted in the growth and depth of our faculty, our clinics and Institutes. We are proud to offer a comparison of their caliber and renown with any other school. I have marveled at Hannah’s stamina and intensity over the past 13 years as she strived for excellence throughout the College. A large part of her legacy will always be the vision and commitment that she brought to the multiple year effort that resulted in Dineen Hall, which focused on how we will facilitate the teaching of law in the 21st century. The legal profession remains one of the most influential professions in our society. Law school deans are uniquely situated to make a difference in our profession. Most importantly, the success of the legacy of Dean Arterian has been the deep commitment and personal touch that she has communicated in her role to each interaction with our students, our faculty and staff, our alumni and to anyone else who would listen. She is determined to make a difference in our profession and the world around us, while growing the College of Law and its reputation. We are in a much better place for her efforts and dedication to the Syracuse University College of Law.” – Marc Malfitano L’78 Chair, Board of Advisors

FACULTY BOOKS

Soldiers on the Homefront: The Domestic Role of the American Military Interim Dean William C. Banks (with Stephen Dycus) Harvard University Press, 2016 When crisis requires American troops to deploy on American soil, the country depends on a rich and evolving body of law to establish clear lines of authority, safeguard civil liberties, and protect its democratic institutions and traditions. Since the attacks of 9/11, the governing law has changed rapidly even as domestic threats—from terror attacks, extreme weather, and pandemics— mount. Soldiers on the Home Front is the first book to systematically analyze the domestic role of the military as it is shaped by law, surveying America’s history of judicial decisions, constitutional provisions, statutes, regulations, military orders, and martial law to ask what we must learn and do before the next crisis. America’s military is uniquely able to save lives and restore order in situations that overwhelm civilian institutions. Yet the U.S. military has also been called in for more coercive duties at home: breaking strikes, quelling riots, and enforcing federal laws in the face of state resistance. It has spied on and overseen the imprisonment of American citizens during wars, Red scares, and

And while the fears of the Republic’s founders that a strong army could undermine democracy have not been realized, history is replete with reasons for concern. At a time when the military’s domestic footprint is expanding, Banks and Dycus offer a thorough analysis of the relevant law and history to challenge all the stakeholders—within and outside the military—to critically assess the past in order to establish best practices for the crises to come.

With its concise writing style, streamlined chapter format, extensive appendices, extensive references to leading and related cases, cross references to relevant analytical content, and authoritative guidance, you'll find more of everything that makes a practice guide valuable and easy for you to use. Written by experienced practitioners, the Practice Guide offers concise explanations of collateral consequences flowing from specific New Jersey criminal convictions, general classes of offenses and general types of offenses, as well as unique practice strategies, checklists, and appendices to ensure that the practitioner identifies and addresses all the collateral consequences related to each crime. Each Practice Guide chapter combines authoritative legal analysis with an expert author's practical insights, distilled from years of litigation practice. New Jersey Collateral Consequences includes a multitude of Practice Tips that transition smoothly from legal analysis to practical application of a point of law. Chapter parts begin with a detailed practice checklist defining the essentials of a major task.

eQuality: The Struggle for Web Accessibility by Persons with Cognitive Disabilities Professor Peter D. Blanck Cambridge, 2014 Never before have the civil rights of people with disabilities aligned so well with developments in information and communication technology. The center of the technology revolution is the Internet's World Wide Web, which fosters unprecedented opportunities for engagement in democratic society. The Americans with Disabilities Act likewise is helping to ensure equal participation in society by people with disabilities. Globally, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities further affirms that persons with disabilities are entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of fundamental personal freedoms. This book is about the lived struggle for disability rights, with a focus on Web equality for people with cognitive disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, autism, and print-related disabilities. The principles derived from the right to the Web â&#x20AC;&#x201C; freedom of speech and individual dignity â&#x20AC;&#x201C;are bound to lead toward full and meaningful involvement in society for persons with cognitive and other disabilities.

Genetic Discrimination â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Transatlantic Perspectives on the Case for a European Level Legal Response Professor Peter D. Blanck, editor (with Gerard Quinn & Aisling de Paor) Routledge, 2015 As genetic technologies advance, genetic testing may well offer the prospect of detecting the onset of future disabilities. Some research also forwards that certain behavioural profiles may have a strong genetic basis, such as the determination to succeed, or the propensity for risktaking. As this technology becomes more prevalent, there is a danger that genetic information may be misused by third parties and that particular genetic profiles may be discriminated against by employers, by providers of social goods and services, such as insurance companies and even by educational facilities. This book explores the different forms and potential uses of genetic testing. Drawing together leading experts in disability law, bioethics, health law and a range of related fields, it highlights the ethical and legal challenges arising as a result of emerging and rapidly advancing genetic science. On examining transatlantic perspectives on the matter, chapters in the book ask whether the US Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) is proving to be an effective tool in addressing the issue of genetic

discrimination and alleviating fears of discrimination. The book also reviews what insights may be gained from GINA within employment and health insurance contexts, and asks how the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) may impact similar debates within the European Union. The book focuses particularly on the legislative and policy framework in the European Union, with an emphasis on the gaps in protection and the scope for specific legislative action in this area. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of discrimination law, bioethics and disability law, and will be of considerable use to legal practitioners, medical practitioners and policy-makers in this area.

People with Disabilities: Sidelined or Mainstreamed? Professor Peter D. Blanck (with Lisa Schur & Douglas Kruse) Cambridge, 2013 To what extent are people with disabilities fully included in economic, political, and social life? People with disabilities have faced a long history of exclusion, stigma, and discrimination, but have made impressive gains in the past several decades. These gains include the passage of major civil rights legislation and the adoption of the 2006 UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This book provides an overview of the progress and continuing disparities faced by people with disabilities around the world, reviewing hundreds of studies and presenting new evidence from analysis of surveys and interviews with disability leaders. It shows the connections among economic, political, and social inclusion, and how the experience of disability can vary by gender, race, and ethnicity. It uses a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on theoretical models and research in economics, political science, psychology, disability studies, law, and sociology.

The Proceedings of the Seventh International Humanitarian Law Dialogs Professor David Crane, editor (with Elizabeth Anderson) American Society of International Law 2014 The Dialogs, held August 25-27, 2013, focused on the theme "The Long Hot Summer After the Arab Spring: Accountability and the Rule of Law." The volume includes the prosecutors' updates regarding the activities of their respective courts and tribunals, the Third Annual Katherine B. Fite Lecture, the Second Annual Clara Barton Lecture, an interview with his Royal Highness Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein, and a discussion of different perspectives on the Arab Spring.

Legal Communication and Research: Lawyering Skills for the Twenty-First Century Professor Ian Gallacher Carolina Academic Press, 2015 This comprehensive textbook covers predictive and persuasive writing and legal research, and is written in an informal style intended to appeal to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law students. The book walks students through the writing process in short, easily understood chapters and stresses the importance of understanding the underlying principles of legal research rather than discussing the specific mechanics of ever-changing research resources. In addition to the standard topics covered in legal writing and research texts, the book offers chapters on reading, the ethics of writing, overcoming writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block, and oral argument, and emphasizes at all points a client-based approach to lawyering skills.

Tribal Criminal Law and Procedure Professor Carrie E. Garrow (with Sarah Deer) Rowman & Littlefield, 2015 Tribal Criminal Law and Procedure is the second in a unique series of comprehensive studies of tribal law in the United States. This book examines the complex subject of tribal criminal law and procedure from a tribal perspective—utilizing tribal statutory law, tribal case law, and the cultural values of Native peoples. Garrow and Deer discuss in depth the histories, structures and practices of tribal justice systems, comparisons of traditional tribal justice with Anglo-American law and jurisdictions, elements of criminal law and procedure, and alternative sentencing and traditional sanctions. Tribal Criminal Law and Procedure will be an invaluable resource for legal scholars and students.

Liberty and Union: A Constitutional History of the United States, Volume 2 Professor Tara Helfman (with Edgar J. McManus) Routledge, 2014 This, the second of two volumes of Liberty and Union, is a comprehensive constitutional history of the United States from the Progressive Era of the early twentieth century to the most recent decisions of the Supreme Court on contemporary constitutional issues. Written in a clear and engaging narrative style, it successfully unites thorough chronological coverage with a thematic approach, offering critical analysis of core constitutional history topics, set in the political, social, and economic context that made them constitutional issues in the first place. Combining a thoughtful and balanced narrative with an authoritative stance on key issues, the authors deliberately explain the past in the light of the past, without imposing upon it the standards of later generations. Authored by two experienced professors in the field, this textbook has been thoughtfully constructed to offer an accessible alternative to dense scholarly works – avoiding unnecessary technical jargon, defining legal terms and historical personalities where appropriate, and making explicit connections between constitutional themes and historical events. For students in an undergraduate or postgraduate constitutional history course, or anyone with a general interest in constitutional developments, this book will be essential reading.

Divided: The Perils of Our Growing Inequality Professor David Cay Johnston, Editor The New Press, 2015 The issue of inequality has irrefutably returned to the fore, riding on the anger against Wall Street following the 2008 financial crisis and the concentration of economic and political power in the hands of the super-rich. The Occupy movement made the plight of the 99 percent an indelible part of the public consciousness, and concerns about inequality were a decisive factor in the 2012 presidential elections. How bad is it? According to Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist David Cay Johnston, most Americans, in inflationadjusted terms, are now back to the average income of 1966. Shockingly, from 2009 to 2011, the top 1 percent got 121 percent of the income gains while the bottom 99 percent saw their income fall. Yet in this most unequal of developed nations, every aspect of inequality remains hotly contested and poorly understood. Divided collects the writings of leading scholars, activists, and journalists to provide an illuminating, multifaceted look at inequality in America, exploring its devastating implications in areas as diverse as education, justice, health care, social mobility, and political representation. Provocative and eminently readable, here is an essential resource for anyone who cares about the future of America—and compelling evidence that inequality can be ignored only at the nation’s peril.

The Development of Disability Rights Under International Law: From Charity to Human Rights Professor Arlene S. Kanter Routledge, 2015 The adoption of the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CPRD) by the United Nations in 2006 is the first comprehensive and binding treaty on the rights of people with disabilities. It establishes the right of people with disabilities to equality, dignity, autonomy, full participation, as well as the right to live in the community, and the right to supported decision-making and inclusive education. Prior to the CRPD, international law had provided only limited protections to people with disabilities. This book analyses the development of disability rights as an international human rights movement. Focusing on the United States and countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East the book examines the status of people with disabilities under international law prior to the adoption of the CPRD, and follows the development of human rights protections through the conventionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drafting process. Arlene Kanter argues that by including both new applications

Land Use Law and Disability: Planning and Zoning for Accessible Communities Professor Robin Paul Malloy (with Gerard Quinn & Aisling de Paor) Cambridge 2015 of major civil rights legislation and the adoption of the 2006 UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This book provides an overview of the progress and continuing disparities faced by people with disabilities around the world, reviewing hundreds of studies and presenting new evidence from analysis of surveys and interviews with disability leaders. It shows the connections among economic, political, and social inclusion, and how the experience of disability can vary by gender, race, and ethnicity. It uses a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on theoretical models and research in economics, political science, psychology, disability studies, law, and sociology.

In Land Use Law and Disability, Robin Paul Malloy argues that our communities need better planning to be safely and easily navigated by people with mobility impairment and to facilitate intergenerational aging in place. To achieve this, communities will need to think of mobility impairment and inclusive design as land use and planning issues, in addition to understanding them as matters of civil and constitutional rights. Although much has been written about the rights of people with disabilities, little has been said about the interplay between disability and land use regulation. This book undertakes to explain mobility impairment, as one type of disability, in terms of planning and zoning. The goal is to advance our understanding of disability in terms of planning and zoning to facilitate cooperative engagement between disability rights advocates and land use professionals. This in turn should lead to improved community planning for accessibility and aging in place.

The First Global Prosecutor: Promise and Constraints Professor C. Cora True-Frost, editor (with Martha Minow and Alex Whiting) University of Michigan Press, 2015 The establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) gave rise to the first permanent Office of the Prosecutor (OTP), with independent powers of investigation and prosecution. Elected in 2003 for a nine-year term as the ICC’s first Prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo established policies and practices for when and how to investigate, when to pursue prosecution, and how to obtain the cooperation of sovereign nations. He laid a foundation for the OTP’s involvement with the United Nations Security Council, state parties, nongovernmental organizations, victims, the accused, witnesses, and the media. This volume of essays presents the first sustained examination of this unique office and offers a rare look into international justice. The contributors, ranging from legal scholars to practitioners of international law, explore the spectrum of options available to the OTP, the particular choices Moreno Ocampo made, and issues ripe for consideration as his successor, Fatou B. Bensouda, assumes her duties. The beginning of Bensouda’s term thus offers the perfect opportunity to examine the first Prosecutor’s singular efforts to strengthen international justice, in all its facets.

COLLEGE OF LAW MOURNS THE PASSING OF

B E A U B I D E N L' 9 4

February 3, 1969 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 30, 2015

44 | SYRACUSE LAW

The entire Syracuse University College of Law community is deeply saddened by the passing of our alumnus and friend, Beau Biden. We send our deepest sympathy and prayers to the Biden family, his friends and colleagues in Delaware’s Attorney General’s office. Beau is survived by his wife Hallie, children Natalie and Hunter as well as his father U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden L’68 and his wife Jill along with his brother Hunter and sister Ashley. Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 1994 and also holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He began his career as a law clerk for a federal judge in New Hampshire and went on to work for the U.S. Department of Justice, serving several years as a federal prosecutor in Philadelphia before serving as the Attorney General for Delaware since 2007. Biden rose to the rank of major in the Delaware Army National Guard’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps and served a 12-month deployment to Iraq in 2008, being awarded the Bronze Star. After attending his funeral, Interim Dean William Banks stated, “Beau Biden was surely one of the finest young men the College of Law has ever nurtured along his way to becoming the consummate public servant, soldier and advocate, and most important, husband and father, son and brother.” Beau worked tirelessly to help others, from working to establish laws in Kosovo as part of Delaware’s Army

National Guard to fighting for the rights of abused children as Delaware’s Attorney General. “More than his professional accomplishments, Beau measured himself as a husband, father, son, and brother,” Vice President Biden said in a statement. “His absolute honor made him a role model for our family. Beau embodied my father’s saying that a parent knows success when his child turns out better than he did. In the words of the Biden family: Beau Biden was, quite simply, the finest man any of us have ever known.” Professor of Law Emeritus Thomas Maroney, one of Beau’s professors, commented, “I had great respect for him as a person. While he was a student, I always enjoyed sitting down with Beau and talking about politics and policy.” Daniel French L’95, a classmate of Beau also noted during a WSYRTV interview that, “First and foremost he was a father and a husband. He worked hard but his family is what he cared the most about.” Perhaps the best way to remember Beau is through his inspiring words from his College of Law commencement address in 2011 when he said, “When something seems easy, it’s time to question your assumptions and to challenge yourself. I believe we should all strive to recognize that. Moral codes matter. That we are interdependent and the means of our conduct must be driven by our conscience, our values, our knowledge and yes, above all, our laws. And that our conduct cannot be blinded by even the most laudable ends.”

Beau Biden L’94 Memorial Scholarship Fund Beau Biden L’94 exemplified the very best that we as human beings strive for. He touched the lives of so many – as a public servant, attorney and advocate, member of the military, friend, husband, father and son. To create a lasting tribute to Beau’s legacy, Interim Dean and Professor of Law William C. Banks has established the Beau Biden L’94 Memorial Scholarship Fund honoring his former student. The fund provides scholarship assistance to Syracuse Law students with demonstrated interest in children’s rights, protecting victims of abuse and/or helping the most vulnerable in society – causes that were important to Beau.

C L A S S N OT E S ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | ARTHUR SHERMAN L’59 From early on in his law school studies, Arthur Sherman L’59 had a goal in mind. “I wanted to work on Wall Street,” he remembers. And that’s what he did. More than 55 years later, with his hand still in financial management in a partnership he founded, Sherman is grateful for a career that was interesting, satisfying and included international travel and working with people whom he enjoyed. “I have always felt beholden to the law school because they gave me the education I needed to be successful in the financial world,” Sherman says. “I’ve always been very thankful.” A native of Mount Vernon, New York, Sherman did his undergraduate work at New York University (University Heights College) where he was a history and political science major, and also enrolled in ROTC. He initially was part of the College of Law Class of 1958, but was called to serve in the Army after his first year. He headed to Fort Benning, Georgia, where he taught military tactics. When Sherman returned to the College of Law, he was married and brought his wife Nancy with him. The young couple lived in Slocum Heights and Nancy taught biology and chemistry at the Pebble Hill School, which later merged with Manlius Military Academy to become Manlius Pebble Hill, a Pre-K through 12 school in DeWitt. “I made a lot of good friends I’m still friendly with,” Sherman says. Despite an atmosphere at the school that was much more competitive than collaborative, Sherman says, “We all stuck together.” After graduation, Sherman followed his dream and landed a job with Burton, Dana, a financial services firm. He subsequently joined H. Hentz & Company, an international corporate finance and brokerage firm, and became a partner. In 1970 he received his certified financial planner designation from the College of Financial Planning. When H. Hentz was taken over by Cogen, Berlind, Weil and Levitt, Sherman was named vice president and branch manager. He worked his way up the ranks to become head of sales for financial products as the company acquired many other financial service firms. After a series of industry mergers and acquisitions, his firm became part of Morgan Stanley. Since 1981 Sherman has been a Senior Vice President of Morgan Stanley where he founded The Sherman Group in 1982. The firm manages high net worth clients from its headquarters in New York. One of the four partners is Sherman’s son Dan Sherman NEW’85, who received his law degree from Washington University. Though never strictly practicing law, Sherman says his law education has been critical over the years, and it was significant in helping him win his first job on Wall Street. “I used it in assisting clients in many ways. I reviewed their wills and was able to suggest trusts to them,” he says. “A legal education is the finest education you can have.” Sherman and his wife, enthusiastic travelers, divide their time between homes in White Plains, New York and Palm Beach County, Florida. Sherman has served on the College of Law’s Board of Advisors for 15 years, and is a Scholarship Initiative Donor. “I’d like to see the school grow in stature.” Sherman says. His hopes for the College of Law rest in its ability to attract the highest caliber of students. “The brightest students will go where they can get the best scholarship.”

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | ALAN GOLDMAN L’65 As a trial lawyer, mediator and arbitrator in personal injury and wrongful death law, Alan Goldman, L’65, of Phoenix, Arizona, believes his career has been the perfect fit for him. “I can’t imagine doing anything else,” he says. He has been practicing law for 50 years, has been married for 50 years, has had the same assistant for over 40 years, and has been in the same office for over 40 years. “Nobody ever asks me what’s new,” he laughs. Goldman’s path to law school wasn’t a straight one, or for that matter typical. Born in Utica, NY, he moved with his parents to southern California as a child. He was the first in his family to complete high school. He attended a junior college in California, dropped out, and worked on a factory assembly line. A serious injury left him unable to do physical work for a time. His parents returned to Utica and Goldman came along, both legs in casts. Once he was ambulatory, an aunt suggested he take classes at Utica College of Syracuse University. “Why?” he asked. “There’ll be girls there,” she told him. So Goldman enrolled in school. “This time it took,” he said. He enjoyed the classes and he liked the professors. Goldman worked hard. He decided to pursue law, secured a scholarship, and headed to the College of Law. Once enrolled, however, Goldman remembers feeling like an outsider, as his background was different from his classmates, many of whom had had more privileged upbringings, a better undergraduate education, and had lawyers in their families. He said he pretty much stuck to himself, not joining a study group, a fraternity, or participating in any law school activities. Goldman shared his feelings at one point with Professor George Alexander, who was somewhat reassuring.“He told me I was just as smart as anyone in the class and just as dumb as anyone in the class,” Goldman laughs. Goldman said he looked up to all of his professors. “I was in awe of them,” he says. Some 50 years later, he ticks off the names as if he was a student last semester—“Dean Karas, Miller, Koretz, Hertzog, Alexander. They were all so smart and so good at it.” It was an exciting few years for Goldman, who became active in the Civil Rights Movement while at the College of Law. He found he enjoyed the competition and the academic rigor. “I never missed a class and I took prodigious notes,” Goldman remembers. But along with studies, there was some social life as well, as Goldman met an undergraduate, Syracuse native Elaine Meltzer, AS ’63, at a party. The couple was married shortly after law school graduation. Anxious to get back to the west, Goldman and his wife moved to Phoenix in 1966. He began work as an attorney for the Maricopa County Legal Aid Society, later opening his own office and then joining Morris A. Kaplan in forming Goldman & Kaplan, Ltd. In the 1970s, Goldman began focusing his practice on personal injury and wrongful death law, representing both insurance companies and injured claimants. Goldman, a Scholarship Initiative Donor, is grateful for the education and training he received at the College of Law. “I owe Syracuse a debt,” he says. “I was a trial lawyer for a long time, and now as a mediator, I am still working because there is nothing that I would rather do. I feel blessed that the Syracuse University College of Law gave me the opportunity to become a lawyer.”

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | SUSAN HORN L’74 came to Syracuse and the College of Law from her native Brooklyn in 1971 and is still here. “My mother told me I forgot to go home,” Horn laughs. She is the President and CEO of the Frank H. Hiscock Legal Aid Society, which provides free legal assistance to low-income residents of Onondaga County. She has held the post for 25 years, as the organization has grown from an annual budget of less than $1 million in 1990 to over $4 million today, and from a modest staff to today’s 30 attorneys and total staff of 59. Growing up, Horn didn’t think being a lawyer was a possibility. “I got the message girls don’t go to law school,” she remembers. “I thought I might be a teacher. Happily, the sixties came around.” Horn came to the College of Law and was in the first class that had a significant number of women – 20 or so. All of the professors were male with the exception of two adjuncts, Mary Lou Crowley, who taught the course on the Civil Procedure Laws and Rules, and Faith Seidenberg, an attorney and civil rights activist, who taught a class on women and the law. An event that was to shape Horn’s career took place within a few weeks after she began law school. On September 9, 1971, 1,000 inmates of Attica State Prison rebelled and took hostage 42 prison staff. The prisoners demanded improved living conditions and political rights, and amnesty from any reprisal. Days later, the New York State Police, using tear gas and gunfire, took back control of the prison and 29 inmates and 10 hostages were killed. In the aftermath, prisoners were sent to other prisons, including Clinton State Prison in Dannemora, in remote Northern New York. Attorneys defending the prisoners enlisted the aid of law school students. Horn, along with a few fellow classmates, would pile into a car, get on Interstate 81, and drive the 4 ½ hours to Dannemora to interview prisoners. “It was like going to Siberia,” she remembered. It was hard work. But Horn considered it important work. And the experience reinforced her drive to pursue civil rights law. After graduation, Horn started a law firm with fellow College of Law alum Alan Rosenthal L’74 and Joe Heath, focusing on civil rights and criminal defense. She went on to work with another College of Law classmate, Maurie Heins L’74, in an all-women firm – Horn, Heins, Finkelstein and Pezzulo – a partnership that covered all the ethnic bases, Horn laughs. Today, Horn leads a team of attorneys who work with people who could not afford an attorney on their own, and “would have no access to justice,” she says. The wide range of issues, including domestic violence, housing, unemployment and Family Court matters, affect the survival of people and families, she says. “I think I went to law school with the idea of making a difference. I feel we do that here, one client at a time.” Hiscock Legal Aid Society maintains a close relationship with the College of Law, hiring graduates, and providing internship opportunities. The Society also participates in the Pro Bono Scholars Program, which enables students in their third year of law school to take the Bar in February and devote their final semester to providing pro bono service. Horn sees exposure to public interest law as critical, even for those students who do not want to pursue the area. “It makes people aware of the needs of people out there,” she says. “It makes the entire legal community more sensitive to the needs of the poor.”

C L A S S N OT E S ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | JIM SOUTHWICK L’89 Growing up in Fayetteville, NY Jim Southwick L’89 knew one thing about his career plans. “I was adamant that I was not going to be a lawyer,” he says. Southwick came from a family of lawyers – his grandfather, father and brother, along with some other relatives had pursued law – and he wanted something different for himself. Southwick studied economics at the College of William and Mary, graduating in 1982, and worked in public policy in Washington, DC for a few years. In that work, he saw that an advanced degree would mean more opportunities and a brighter future. That’s when he came to the College of Law. The years working between undergraduate school and law school gave him a maturity he appreciated. “It was a big deal to give up a steady and growing income. Giving that up made me approach law school with greater seriousness than if I’d gone straight through after undergraduate study. I knew I wanted to do very well, not just get through,” he says, which he did – serving as editor-in-chief for the Syracuse Journal of International Law, and graduating magna cum laude. Two classes that he particularly liked were Professor Richard Goldsmith’s Civil Procedure and Professor Gary Kelder’s Criminal Procedure. “I’m not sure why I favored those classes in law school other than the engaging style of the two excellent professors,” Southwick says, “but the importance of procedure to the operation of a fair and just court system has been continually impressed upon me in my practice.” A partner in Susman Godfrey LLP’s Houston office, Southwick practices commercial litigation. The complexity of antitrust law intrigues him. “It is an area of law that is unsettled and continually evolving – the courts are continually considering what is legal competition and what is unfair competition?” A prime example Southwick notes was being co-lead counsel in an international price-fixing case that involved U.S. plaintiffs suing Chinese manufacturers of vitamin C. The Chinese manufacturers, who produce more than 80 percent of the world’s vitamin C used to enrich food and beverages, did not deny fixing prices, which is a violation of antitrust law. Instead, the companies claimed that the Chinese government had made them fix prices. The jury found this was not the case, and the result was a $147 million award for the U.S. plaintiffs. Southwick was recently named plaintiffs’ co-lead counsel in a monopolization case in which the defendant, the media giant News Corp., is arguing that the lack of competition actually benefits customers. Southwick began his legal career at Breed, Abbot and Morgan in New York City, where he practiced commercial litigation. In 1995, he was counsel in a long trial involving a chemical plant in Houston. During the trial, he began dating a Houston lawyer. When the two became engaged, they had to decide where they were going to live and looked for jobs in each other’s cities. Southwick, who was about to be named partner at his firm in New York, said it was hard to think about starting fresh in a new city. But he decided to move, and hasn’t looked back. He and his wife, Solace, also a trial lawyer, have a son and a daughter. “Susman Godfrey is one of the very few truly excellent national litigation firms,” he says. “I wouldn’t want to practice anywhere else.”

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | JOANNA GERAGHTY L’97 As an undergraduate at College of the Holy Cross, Joanna Geraghty L’97 MAX’97 spent a year studying in Brighton, England. The experience helped shape her career goals. “I really enjoyed being in a different country, living with students from all over the world, and learning about different cultures,” she remembers. “I wanted to develop a larger world view, through the study of international law and experiencing first hand different people from different societies. Even then, I understood that our similarities outweigh our differences, and that understanding and having confidence in the rule of law was essential to bridging those gaps between peoples worldwide.” Today, Geraghty is immersed in helping people bridge those gaps every day--as the Executive Vice President of Customer Experience of JetBlue Airlines, headquartered in New York City. A native of Southbury, Connecticut, Geraghty worked college summers and winter breaks at a law firm. “Law always seemed like an interesting career with a lot of opportunities to solve problems, and ultimately help people,” she says. After receiving her bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Holy Cross, Geraghty enrolled in the dual degree program at Syracuse, obtaining her J.D. and M.S. in International Relations from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. She appreciated the broader outlook the Maxwell coursework provided her. “It enabled me to pull up a bit from reading case studies and rules and get a macro business perspective,” she says. “It complemented my legal studies with a practical perspective.” After graduation, Geraghty worked for Condon and Forsyth, a small Manhattan law firm that represents many foreign airlines, with lawsuits ranging from lost bags to personal injury claims to aircraft accidents. She went on to work for Holland and Knight, a firm with 1,000 lawyers. There she specialized on the defense side in complex litigation ranging from product liability cases to class action consumer protection cases representing airlines and aircraft manufacturers. She developed an expertise in the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions, which regulate liability for international carriage of persons, baggage and cargo and became partner at Holland and Knight in 2005. That same year, Geraghty received an offer from long-time client JetBlue to join their legal department, and manage their litigation and regulatory matters. In 2010, she was promoted to Chief People Officer, responsible for the human resource functions for JetBlue and its 15,000 employees. As CPO and a member of the airline’s Senior Executive Team, Geraghty was responsible for managing the crewmember experience, from interview to retirement. In 2014, Geraghty was named Executive Vice President, Customer Experience. Today, Geraghty continues as a member of the sevenperson Executive Leadership Team, and oversees a team of more than 11,000 Crewmembers. She is responsible for JetBlue’s over 90 airports, their inflight Crewmembers and their Customer Support Crewmembers. Though not currently practicing law, Geraghty draws on her education and training each day. “Being a litigator sets you up to understand how to lead a team,” she says. “It fosters an analytical side to risk, and risk avoidance. Lawyers learn to analyze and solve complex problems. “ The undergrad who dreamed of a job that would take her to faraway places has achieved her goal. “Now I travel more than I ever wanted to,” Geraghty laughs. “But part of being a lawyer is getting clients from Point A to Point B, and in that respect, the job hasn’t changed.”

C L A S S N OT E S ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | WILBUR KIM L’04 Although Wilbur Kim L’04 grew up loving science, he was not convinced he was cut out for a career in it. A native of Chico, California, Kim took some science courses as an undergraduate at the University of California at Santa Barbara, but when his thoughts turned to pursuing law, he double-majored in Law & Society and Political Science. Today, as Pfizer’s Legal Alliance Director, Kim has found the perfect fit for someone who has a great respect for the law, a fascination with science, and, as he puts it, “a curiosity about how things work.” Kim is based in New York City, the headquarters of Pfizer, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. When he began at Pfizer, he negotiated clinical trial agreements to test new drugs. Now Kim manages the Pfizer Legal Alliance, a collection of law firms that provide counsel to the company. While not directly involved with patients and clinical trials, Kim says his experience in the field, as well as his science background, help him in his work. “You need to understand the whole business,” he says. “It’s made me a more well-rounded professional in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. When you can say, ‘I understand the scientific component and how it relates to our overall objective,’ it lends you credibility with your internal client and provides you the platform to speak as an authority.” Kim is grateful that he set a goal for himself as a young man. “Ultimately, I wanted to end up in New York City, and as I was considering law schools, there was always a part of me that regretted not going to a school with an elite Division I athletics program.” The College of Law turned out to be the perfect place. At the start of his first year, Kim joined the Technology Commercialization Law Program, where students delve into the law and how it relates to the commercialization of intellectual property. In his third year of law school, Kim served as Professor Ted Hagelin’s graduate assistant. Most of his fellow students in the program had been science majors. “We were a tight-knit group,” Kim remembers. “We would spend hours and hours in the tech transfer room huddled around a big conference table. We would bring our lunches in there to collaborate on projects and I spent more hours in that room than any other place, including my apartment. It felt like a clubhouse.” He has stayed close friends with fellow students from the program, even as they have pursued their careers in different areas across the country. After graduating from the College of Law, Kim worked for the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, where he helped establish clinical trials and went on to work in the Healthcare and Life Sciences division of Christian and Timbers before joining Pfizer in 2008. “I love that our business depends on innovation,” he says. “You cannot be stagnant.” While Pfizer developed successful and widely-used drugs such as Lipitor and Viagra, when exclusivity is lost, and the drugs can be manufactured generically, new compounds must be developed. “Everyone has to think creatively,” he says. “The culture of the company is to really own your role and I’m fortunate enough to be empowered to take thoughtful risks while ensuring we protect Pfizer’s assets and reputation.”

C L A S S N OT E S ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | JEFFREY SHAPIRO L’10 & ASHLEY BRICKLES SHAPIRO L’10 For Jeffrey Shapiro L’10 and Ashley Brickles Shapiro L’10, the Law in London summer program was truly a lifechanging experience – and that’s no hyperbole. While they knew each other as classmates before the summer, they began dating in London and they both fell in love with the city and living abroad. Now they are married Londoners. Jeff is a Managed Services Consultant for Kroll Ontrack, specializing in e-discovery in U.K. litigation and cross-border investigations, and Ashley is a Senior Director for FTI Consulting and advises clients on e-discovery issues on a variety of complex civil matters and regulatory investigations. Jeff received a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Rutgers University in 2002. He worked in the insurance industry for a few years, mainly involved in bodily injury claims and dealing with arbitrators. The work experience and having to present a case and argue his point “reignited my desire to go to law school,” he says. He came to the College of Law, and in one of his first semester classes, Professor Peter Bell would kid him about his insurance background. At the end of the semester, in a light-hearted award ceremony, Bell called him up as Jeff “You-can’t getno-subrogation” Shapiro. Ashley received a Bachelor’s degree in Government and History from The College of William and Mary. She went on to work for two law firms as a litigation assistant, with the goal of becoming an attorney. “I always enjoyed reading, arguments, and logic. It seemed like a natural fit for me,” she says. In 2008, Jeff and Ashley both participated in the Law in London Externship, an eight-week summer program in which law students take classes and also work with London legal practitioners. “We both thoroughly enjoyed it,” Jeff said. “It was a lot like law school – you get out of it what you put into it.” Both Jeff and Ashley were placed in the Crown Prosecution Service, which is similar to a District Attorney’s office in the U.S. “I really liked the people I worked with,” Ashley said, adding that both she and Jeff were able to spend time at 10 Downing Street – the Prime Minister’s Office – as well as in The House of Lords and The House of Commons. “What I liked best about law school was the professors,” Ashley said. “All of them really cared that the students learned and took something away from their classes.” Jeff appreciates the way law school helped him to think more analytically and present information in a concise way. “The challenge is to solve problems, to work collaboratively and to distill issues to the simplest form,” he says. “It’s very easy to talk about a problem for 40 minutes, but can you distill that down to two minutes? That’s a unique skill the best lawyers have.” Ashley joined LeClairRyan in Richmond, Virginia after graduation, focusing on electronic discovery, or “e-discovery” which is the exchange of electronically-stored information. Jeff went on to consult with several firms, also in Richmond, and during that time was involved with e-discovery work on a multi-billion-dollar international securities case where he managed e-discovery in the U.S., Spain, Belgium and the U.K. Through that case, he learned about the possibility of working in e-discovery for a foreign company and that the dream that he and Ashley had of returning to live in London was within reach. They moved to London in 2013. Though neither are licensed to practice law in England, they find they use their legal training every day in their jobs. They enjoy seeing Professors Christian Day and Aviva Abramovsky when they arrive for Law in London with a new batch of law students. Jeff and Ashley live close to St. Paul’s Cathedral in the City of London and walk together to work every day. “We’re lucky,” Ashley says. “It’s been pretty amazing.”

Our friend and colleague Jeremy A. Blumenthal passed away on Thursday, December 18, 2014. Professor Blumenthal joined the Syracuse University College of Law as an assistant professor in August 2005. He was featured as an outstanding professor in the National Jurist (March 2011) where he is identified as being one of the 23 most entertaining, influential and riveting professors in legal academia. Professor Blumenthal taught and wrote in the areas of property law and law and the social sciences, incorporating empirical research and data into legal issues. His work explored decision-making by judges and juries, paternalism, the reasonable woman standard, victim impact statements, behavioral law and economics, emotions in the legal system, and lay perceptions of crime. Recent publications focused on integrating empirical psychological research into property law; reviewing the field of law and emotions; and speculating about the implications of treating lawsuits as private property. He was also a co-editor of the treatise Modern Scientific Evidence. Professor Blumenthal earned his A.B., A.M., and Ph. D. in Social Psychology from Harvard University.

Join fellow law alumni in support of this new initiative—the most significant and direct way to help our students. Each gift to the Fund immediately impacts students and the scholarship assistance they receive. Make Your Impact. Contact Alexandra Epsilanty L’92, Assistant Dean for Advancement, at 315.443.1964.
