Dean’s Message Dear Friends: As we enter another fall season at Carolina Law, Van Hecke-Wettach is again abuzz with activity and enthusiasm.Yet it continues to be a profoundly unsettled season for the national and state economies, for private law firms nationwide, and for law students deeply concerned about their job prospects.

In response to challenges facing the legal profession, Carolina Law has begun to implement major curricular reforms that will strengthen student writing and provide John Charles “Jack” Boger our students with rigorous, applied legal training. We are taking these strides toward excellence despite three years of difficult state budget cuts — during which we’ve lost more than $2.6 million per year from our former budget of about $21 million.

To fund these new programs that will ensure finer, better prepared law graduates, we have turned to our students themselves. We’ve asked them to shoulder two rounds of tuition increases — $1,500 per year in 2011-2012 and $1,500 more in 2012-2013.

Within a year, North Carolina residents will pay tuition and fees that exceed $20,000 annually, while non-residents will pay more than $35,000 per year.

As you know, Carolina Law has long embraced a dual commitment: to excellence, now enhanced by these curricular improvements, and to access, drawing bright students from every possible social and economic background. While these new tuition dollars will undoubtedly strengthen Carolina’s commitment to excellence, our rising costs are beginning to threaten our traditional access.

Your financial support for student scholarships is therefore more important than ever.

We must assure that Carolina Law can offer the best and brightest students a quality legal education at an affordable price. To overcome the financial barrier our new tuitions can pose for many, we’ve launched a major new scholarship initiative. We are convinced our generous alumni — beneficiaries of Carolina Law educations in earlier eras — will step forward to open the doors widely for every talented applicant.

In the pages that follow, you will read of current scholarship recipients engaged in wonderful work. We think you will be moved and made proud by what you learn here.

These students aspire to become what many of you are now: trusted, successful legal professionals and outstanding community leaders. They cannot reach their goals without the financial support your dollars can offer. I hope you’ll join in helping our current Carolina students follow in your footsteps. It’s a worthy mission. Thank you for your friendship and support.

School News Six UNC Students Selected for 2011 Equal Justice Works Summer Corps

PreLaw Ranks UNC Law 7th Best for Standard of Living UNC School of Law was ranked No. 7 on the list of “Best Law Schools for Standard of Living,” according to The National Jurists’ preLaw magazine. The ranking was released Sept. 6 in the magazine’s “Back to School 2011” issue.

In the study, The National Jurist used median private practice starting salaries and subtracted average debt payments, estimated federal and state taxes, and then modified the net salary by cost of living adjustments for the regions where graduates were employed.

“This study is designed to give law students and prospective students a good understanding of what their standard of living could look like on a school-by-school basis,” said Jack Crittenden, editor-inchief of National Jurist. “Students need to understand that a high starting salary does not always translate into the most money at the end of the day.”

UNC School of Law was also ranked by the publication (Aug. 22) as one of the nation’s “Best Value Law Schools.”

Students Selected for Summer Diversity Legal Programs and Scholarships First-year law students at UNC School of Law had the opportunity to test their mettle this summer by participating in programs that support diversity in the legal profession. Five UNC School of Law students were accepted into competitive diversity summer programs throughout the Southeast.

“We live in a diverse society and the legal workplace needs to reflect that diversity,” explains Maria J. Mangano ’82, director of career services for the school. “In fact, clients are starting to demand that the lawyers who work on their cases are just as diverse as their clients and the world we live in. These programs are critically important in identifying the best and brightest diverse law students and giving them the opportunities they deserve.”

Mangano works closely with career counselor Lynn Hudson Boone to promote diversity programs and to identify and prepare eligible first-year students to compete for these and other internships and training programs.

Students who participated in programs for first-year law students this summer include: Amit Bhagwandass worked with Fresh Market in Greensboro, N.C., through the N.C. Bar Association Minorities in the Profession Committee Summer Associate Program and with Nelson Mullins in Raleigh, N.C. Uttara Kale participated in the AT&T Summer Legal Internship Program in Atlanta, Ga.

Syed (Yasir) Latifi worked at Mayer Brown and Compass Group as part of the Charlotte Legal Diversity Clerkship Program, which matches eligible students with firms in the Charlotte, N.C., area.

Whitney Nebolisa worked with K&L Gates in Raleigh, N.C., as part of the N.C. Bar Association Minorities in the Profession Committee Summer Associate Program.

Fallon Speaker received a 2011 Nexsen Pruet Diversity Scholarship. Fallon worked with the N.C. Justice Center in Raleigh, N.C., on housing issues and as a research assistant for Charles Daye, Henry Brandis Professor of Law. “The legal profession, both in North Carolina and nationwide, is making efforts to identify, attract, hire, and retain historically underrepresented groups,” Mangano says. These summer programs for first-year law students are among the many efforts that large law firms and corporations organize for this purpose.

“Carolina Law’s class of 2013, like its predecessors, has achieved great success in these programs and the career services office is extremely proud of these accomplished students,” Boone says. “In fact, our students are in such demand that at least two of them received offers from more than one of these programs and had to choose between them; another student was selected to interview in the Minorities in the Profession program but received and accepted an offer from a major Atlanta firm prior to her interviews.”

Boone notes that there are a number of diversity programs available for both first- and second-year law students, and that the most comprehensive resource for finding out about them is the career services office.

J. Nelson Young Tax Institute in April Highlights Audit, Investment Issues

Environmental Protection Externship Offers Policy Experience, Networking

Robert Campell

Attorneys and accountants took advantage of the opportunity to review and analyze contemporary federal and state tax issues at the annual J. Nelson Young Tax Institute hosted by UNC School of Law April 28 and 29.

Taxes at every level have topped the headlines in local and national news in recent months, and the conference sought to reflect this heightened Patricia Bryan public awareness. Discussion topics included an ethics component, emphasized the most current issues in the field and demonstrated in-depth coverage of recent legislative, administrative and judicial developments in various tax areas.

Founded in 1982, the two-day institute provides cutting-edge tax news and offers specific suggestions about transactional opportunities and risks to practitioners who frequently handle tax matters. The program also offers CLE credits for lawyers and CPE credits for CPAs, and typically draws more than 100 participants.

This year, highlights of the institute included discussions about defined value transfers; payroll tax and executive compensation audits; risks and benefits related to life insurance investments; consequences of the recent transfer tax reform; red flags in international transactions; and state budget struggles and state tax reform possibilities.

The program closed with expert speakers from the North Carolina Department of Revenue – Dr. Linda Struyk Millsaps, chief operating officer, and Charles H. Helms, director of the collection division – who shared their insights and perspectives.

J. Nelson Young, a former faculty member at UNC, organized the first UNC Tax Institute because he saw a need for a continuing legal education program in tax for lawyers and accountants in the state, especially given the rapid rate of new legislation and the increasing technical complexity of the practice.

In her last year as program director of the institute, Patricia Bryan, Martha Brandis Professor of Law at UNC School of Law, developed this year’s agenda in collaboration with a planning committee of tax practitioners in North Carolina.

For Matthew Dobbins ’11, an externship with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Washington, D.C., provided a unique opportunity to learn practical skills in preparation for a career in environmental law.

Dobbins had the opportunity to work for the governmental agency in his third year of law school, and the externship built on a foundaMatthew Dobbins tion of environmental law experience and scholarship. He studied political science and environmental policy at the University of Michigan before coming to UNC School of Law, and gained further experience by spending his summers working on environmental legislation for the North Carolina General Assembly, at a law firm in Houston, and the Environmental Defense Fund in Austin.

“An externship was important to me because I wanted to continue building on the legal skills I developed over the summer after my second year,” he explains. “You learn a lot of valuable skills in law school, but I was eager to start putting those skills to use.”

In October, the 24-year-old put the skills he learned to use when he joined the firm of Vinson & Elkins in Houston, Texas, as a part of the environmental and energy regulation practice group.

Dobbins said working with the EPA allowed him to view the big picture of environmental law at the federal level. During his tenure, he worked in the Water Enforcement Division on the Clean Water Act, Oil Pollution Act and Safe Drinking Water Act cases. He also met weekly with senior administrators, attended Congressional

“ An externship was important to me because I wanted to continue building on the legal skills I developed over the summer after my second year.” ­— Matthew Dobbins ’11 hearings, and worked on new rulemaking covering the breadth of environmental policy at the EPA. “I covered oil spill cases, coal mining pollution cases, and water treatment plant issues,” he says. “I really enjoyed working on the oil spill cases. This was an area of law I did not know much about before my externship, and I collaborated on some exciting projects for major federal cases.”

Dobbins took advantage of the opportunity to work full-time during his externship, receiving 12 academic credit hours for the work.

Students can also participate during the school year in three-credithour externship programs, or in summer programs, where they earn 4 1/2 credits for their work. The program allows participants to earn academic credit for working in a variety of legal settings, including

state, federal, public interest, academic and corporate legal offices.

“Working at the EPA was one of the best experiences I had in law school. For me, there was no better place to learn more about environmental law,” Dobbins says. “I already had an environmental background at the state level, in public interest, and in the private sector, and I wanted to round out my experiences by working at the EPA’s headquarters’ in D.C.” Dobbins cites the professionals he met as a source of inspiration and advises other students who participate in externships to take full advantage of the expertise of their supervisors and colleagues. “I learned from talented people who went out of their way to teach me as much as possible and really show me what life as a lawyer at the EPA was like.”

Forty-Five Students Honored with Gressman-Pollitt Awards UNC School of Law recognized 45 first-year law students with the annual Gressman-Pollitt award for outstanding oral advocacy in the first-year Research, Reasoning, Writing, and Advocacy (RRWA) Program on April 13. Established in 1995 by then-Chief Justice of Holderness Moot Court Michael L. Wilson ’96 to honor Eugene Gressman, William Rand Kenan Jr. Professor of Law Emeritus, and Daniel H. Pollitt, Graham Kenan Professor of Law Emeritus, who both passed away in 2010, the award seeks to celebrate collaborative partnership between Holderness students, the RRWA Program and practicing attorneys.

Wilson, a partner with event sponsor Johnston, Allison & Hord in Charlotte, N.C., gave remarks and was joined at the ceremony by J. Darrell Shealy ’82, managing partner for the firm.

International Adversary Systems Conference Explores Defendants’ Rights A group of judges, scholars and attorneys gathered at the UNC Center for School Leadership Development on the UNC Chapel Hill campus to address the protection of defendants’ rights and related issues, both in the United States and in the European Union April 1.

“Procedural Safeguards for Suspects: What Can Europe Learn from the American Experience” is the third in a series of conferences on the future of adversarial systems.

Jacqueline Hodgson, professor of law at the University of Warwick in Birmingham, England, and whose paper formed the basis of this year’s conference discussions kicked-off the day-long conference.

In her paper, “Losing Sight of Defence Rights in EU Criminal Justice,” Hodgson argues that the European Union must develop uniform safeguards to protect the rights of the accused in criminal trials and related legal endeavors that apply equally and consistently in all member countries. Hodgson points out that while extradition laws are fairly consistent and respected throughout the EU, the

accused may then be removed to a jurisdiction that does not provide the same protections and procedures (such as evidence collection) as their home jurisdiction.

Other speakers included Christopher Slobogin, Milton Underwood Chair in Law at Vanderbilt University Law School; Dorris de Vocht and Taru Spronken, professors at the Maastricht University, the Netherlands; Richard Myers, associate dean for student affairs and associate professor of Law at UNC School of Law; Martin Boese, professor of law, University of Bonn, Germany; and Donald Dripps, professor of law at University of San Diego School of Law. The day closed with an opportunity for discussion among the participants and attendees.

The program was sponsored by the UNC European Union Center of Excellence and UNC School of Law. Michael L. Corrado, Arch T. Allen Distinguished Professor of Law at UNC School of Law, and Myers are the directors of the conference series.

$2.1 Million Raised in Banking Center’s Beischer Challenge

Hilton Pittman

In March 2007, George’66 and Susan Beischer announced an extraordinary pledge. The Beischers agreed to match donations of up to $1 million raised to support the UNC Center for Banking and Finance between July George Beischer with son David 1, 2007 and June 30, 2010.

In light of the economic crisis, the Beischers extended their challenge period by one year to June 30, 2011.

The Beischer family, George, Susan, and their son David, attended Carolina Law’s annual William Horn Battle Society dinner on April 15, where the successful completion of the Beischer Challenge was announced. The Beischers contributed $1 million as a match for the $1.1 million in cash, gifts, multi-year pledges and documented planned gifts received by the center since the challenge began.

A condition of the Beischers’ gift was that the center be named for Lissa Broome, Wachovia Professor of Banking Law and the founding director of the center, when she eventually decides to step down from her position as director.

The Beischers’ decision to support the center was driven by George Beischer’s involvement with the banking industry and the center, where he has served on the board, the Banking Journal Scholarship Committee and as a practitioner-in-residence.

Beischer is also the owner and president of Garden View Realty and, in 2000, Beischer collaborated to establish Cardinal State Bank, a community bank with branches in Durham and Hillsborough, N.C. In 2006, he helped establish KeySource Commercial Bank.

“I am incredibly honored that one day the center will bear my

name,” Broome wrote in thanking the Beischers for their matching gift. “I pledge to be sure that the center continues to evolve and thrive so that it will be something we are all proud to have had a hand in creating and sustaining.”

Significant gifts that were given as part of the Beischer Challenge include: • The Adam and Lissa Broome Current Use Fund for the Center for Banking and Finance • The Anthony Gaeta Jr. Scholarship • The Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft Discretionary Fund for the Center for Banking and Finance • The Clearing House Fund • The Hunton & Williams Lecture/Speaker Series • The James D. Renger Discretionary Fund • The Moore & Van Allen Fund • The New York Lecture Series, made possible through the generosity of The Clearing House • The N.C. Community Bank Fund • The Robin L. Hinson Fund • The William D. Spry, Jr. Family Distinguished Professorship • The Williams Mullen Fund for the Center for Banking and Finance • The Winston & Strawn Fund • The Womble Carlyle Fund for the Center for Banking and Finance • An additional gift to the Bank of America Center for Banking and Finance Fund • Numerous gifts to the general endowment and the CLE Banking Institute Fund Editor’s note: George Beischer passed away Sept. 24 after a courageous battle with brain cancer.

Faculty & Research Authors Suggest New Legal Model for DNA Sample Contributions

H

steve exum

ealthy people who contribute DNA samples for medical research see their relationship with researchers more as a license for sharing a trade secret than participation in traditional medical research, according to recent UNC research.

John Conley, William Rand Kenan Jr. Professor of Law; Arlene Davis, adjunct professor of law and associate professor of social medicine at UNC School of Medicine; alumna Allison Dobson ‘09; and second-year law student Ryan Gladden, Conley’s research assistant, published their findings in the policy paper titled “Genomics, Biobanks, and the Trade-Secret Model” in Science on April 15.

The team studied interviews with participants and discovered that, even though they had read informed consent documents that explicitly stated that their contribution of DNA was not a commercial transaction, subjects still perceived the exchange in that light.

“If you listen to what DNA sample contributors – research subjects – say about their participation, they understand it more than anything else as a commercial transaction,” explains Conley,

John Conley

who says the paper is intended to start a debate about the nature of informed consent in DNA-related research. Traditionally, informed consent for the purposes of medical research has attempted to make it explicitly clear that research subjects are not entering into a commercial exchange that would in some way reward their participation.

“Why not do it differently for DNA research? DNA contributed by healthy donors is quite different from giving a liver, for example,” Conley observes.

People who were interviewed about their views on research using contributed DNA expressed a range of opinions. About half of those interviewed had contributed, while the other half had been asked to contribute but declined.

“Some said ‘just give me the money and I’m done.’ Others would have taken less money but with conditions such as being able to opt out of a future research project or being told if researchers find something that has a bearing on their personal health,” says Conley, who argues in favor of a tiered consent, which would give people more or less control over the use of their DNA depending on their preferences.

Conley says that using trade secrets as a paradigm for the contribution of DNA to research would solve several current problems, one of which is how to handle DNA and tissues stored in banks for the purposes of research. Getting informed consent from donors for each new research application is burdensome, Conley says; with a trade secret approach, however, individuals could give blanket consent or could retain the right to opt out of future research programs.

“We are trying to fit old models onto new technologies, such as biobanking,” observes co-author Gladden, Conley’s research assistant.

“This is one solution.”

Conley, Gladden and Dobson collaborated with co-authors Robert Mitchell from Duke University’s Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, and R. Jean Cadigan from UNC’s Department of Social Medicine. All of the authors are also affiliated with the UNC Center for Genomics and Society.

With 30 days and the help of nearly 100 UNC students, professor Donald Hornstein was able to help North Carolinians breathe a little easier.

Hornstein and his students prepared a brief supporting North Carolina’s claims that air pollution from Tennessee Valley Authority coal plants was causing harm to the state’s economy and residents.

The brief was meant to be taken to the U.S. Supreme Court as part of the state’s case, but in a historic settlement North Carolina and TVA announced they would compromise without going to court.

The authority, a U.S. government-owned energy company, agreed to immediately implement changes that could transform the way it produces electricity by 2017.

The dispute between the state and the authority began in 2006 when N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper decided to sue the company, claiming pollutants from four of its plants near the North Carolina border were contaminating the state’s air and causing health problems for its citizens.

Hornstein said pollutants, such as nitrogen oxide and mercury, coming from the authority’s coal-fired plants have damaged much more than the state’s economy and scenery.

Chemical emissions from the four plants have been linked to the early deaths and birth defects of some North Carolinians, he said.

Nearly five years and two court decisions later, Hornstein was asked by officials at the department to write an amicus brief on the case, which would supplement the state’s argument and help convince the Supreme Court to hear its plea.

Hornstein said because the state has to keep a good relationship with the fourth circuit court — which dismissed the state’s case against the authority — ­­ he was able to take on issues in his brief the state could not.

“I completely supported the state,” Hornstein said. “My principal strategy was to focus on the things we could do that the state had touched on but was not able to develop as strongly as we could.”

The state called on Hornstein to conduct research and complete what he referred to as a “friend of the court effort,” for state justice officials.

With the help of some of his students, the professor worked at “light speed” to complete the amicus brief in 30 days.

Hornstein said 15 law students and nearly 100 undergraduate students from his environmental law and policy class researched topics including the history of the case and the Supreme Court justices’ voting records on environmental policy.

Third-year law student Elizabeth Gregory said the opportunity to work with Hornstein on such a historic case was an amazing way to gain firsthand experience.

“Here is an example of how professors and everyday people can really make a big difference in the life of the state, and it was a huge opportunity to be a part of that,” Gregory said.

Environmental Law Professors’ Amicus Brief Inspires TVA Reform

Donald Hornstein

Gregory, who is studying media law, said she researched several of the Supreme Court justices and their voting histories on environmental and administrative law.

“You tailor the brief to the justices,” she said. “You’re trying to convince the judges that you know aren’t on your side and make them think twice about the issue.”

One of Hornstein’s former students, Doug Debaugh, helped organize the students’ efforts on the project.

“I started working at the law school afterward so I was the one person who was there throughout the whole thing,” Debaugh said.

As a result of the settlement, the authority will retire 25 percent of its coal-powered energy plants and spend billions of dollars in cleanup to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency’s standards.

“TVA had been in trouble with EPA and other environmental groups over the years and the settlement that was announced was far bigger than our lawsuit alone precipitated,” Hornstein said.

He said the authority will shift some of its focus to alternative energy sources such as nuclear power and natural gas and that the changes will benefit the environment and ultimately lower the cost of energy for the authority’s customers.

Gregory said Hornstein goes out of his way to devote extra time and attention to his students.

Gregory said, “His passion for what he does is so evident, and by working with professor Hornstein students are able to gain firsthand experience in the things they’re interested in.”

Flatt’s Environmental Enforcement Article Selected for Discussion in Washington, D.C.

that a large enforcement bureau can attract business to the state by making compliance much smoother for the industry.

Flatt’s article was published in 2010 in the Notre Dame Law Review. His data collection motivated the EPA to look at its own data collection and storage practices, concluding that its data collection process is not sufficient in some areas.

And while data collection may not be the most attractive aspect of environmental law, Flatt argues that it is essential.

“By using all data associated with regulated sources, we were able to compare like for like, and I think we developed something important. At least with the Clean Air Act we were able to show that spending less money meant less environmental compliance,” he says. “We need better data collection so that we can better analyze and use the results to improve our enforcement and, thus, the effectiveness of environmental laws.”

he more financial support a state has to enforce environmental protection laws, the more effective enforcement can be. In order to better track the success of enforcement, however, states should be required to report both expenditures and other measures of environmental health to the Environmental Protection Agency, argues Victor Flatt, Thomas F. and Elizabeth Taft Distinguished Victor Flatt Professor in Environmental Law and director of the Center for Law, Environment, Adaptation and Resources (CLEAR) at UNC School of Law. Flatt shared his expertise in this area at a panel discussion of environmental law on April 15 to which members of Congress, their staff, and the general public were invited. His participation in the panel resulted from his authorship of “Environmental Enforcement in Dire Straits: There is No Protection for Nothing and No Data For Free.” In the article, Flatt examines data from 17 states, analyzing the correlation between environmental program expenditures and the effectiveness of environmental law enforcement in the program’s area.

Flatt’s panel discussion was the third in the day-long Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review, organized and hosted by the Environmental Law Institute and Vanderbilt University Law School. The program featured three articles with additional commentary from the public and private sector.

Flatt’s article’s findings highlight the need for more uniform data reporting and funding for effective enforcement. “The first thing I would want to ask of Congress, based on our research, is to fund the [Environmental Protection Agency] so that it can fully enforce its environmental mandate. Without adequate funding, it cannot ensure sound enforcement from every state, and it cannot take over the job itself. The second is to require states to report all their spending and enforcement in a uniform manner,” says Flatt, who spent several years tracking down all the data necessary to assess the impact of environmental law enforcement at the state level.

Flatt acknowledges the difficulty of asking for more money when state and federal budgets are tight. However, he says there is always an opportunity to regain some of the cost of enforcement through fines and permit costs. Additionally, some states contend

In Memoriam

UNC School of Law shares with great sadness the death of Walker Jameson Blakey, professor of law emeritus, who retired last year after 39 years of teaching.

Blakey passed away on Saturday, Sept. 24.

Blakey joined the Carolina Law faculty in 1971 and obtained permanent tenure in 1977. He lectured widely on evidence and trial advocacy, and served as a consultant to the committees that drafted the North Carolina Rules of Evidence. He taught contracts, evidence, alternate dispute resolution, interviewing, counseling and negotiation to generations of Carolina Law students.

“Walker was a person of extraordinary intellectual gifts, a nationally prominent debater at Ohio State and Laurence Tribe’s moot court partner at Harvard Law School,” says John Charles “Jack” Boger ’74, dean and Wade Edwards Distinguished Professor of Law. Blakey served as director of the Sydney Summer Study Abroad program for several years, and was a faculty adviser to several moot court teams, volunteering annually to give all first-year students a weekend’s exposure to negotiation techniques through a series of mock problems.

Blakey was born in Beattyville, Ky. He received an undergraduate degree from

M. Gerhardt Joins Advisory Committee to EEOC UNC law professor Michael Gerhardt recently joined the North Carolina Advisory Committee to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Gerhardt, Samuel Ashe Distinguished Professor in Constitutional Law and director of the Center for Law and Government, has dedicated his career to the study of constitutional law.

“We’re referred to as the eyes and ears of the EEOC, so we try to Michael Gerhardt identify issues in the state that may be worth looking into,” Gerhardt explains.

During the two-year appointment, Gerhardt will participate in eight meetings with the committee. As a team, the committee will analyze situations that come to its attention, and will pass recommendations along to the EEOC. Every state has an advisory committee that is intended to be diverse and broadly representative of the state for which it serves.

Each committee makes recommendations to the EEOC about civil rights violations that require further examination.

“The end result is that the committee tends to be careful about the issues it identifies and how it addresses them so that it doesn’t take on too much,” Gerhardt says. “There’s always a fairly significant range of possible issues. It would be difficult to look at everything and I think that’s what the chair and the rest of the committees help us to prioritize.”

In 2009, Gerhardt served as special counsel to Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and his staff in preparation for the hearings related to the Supreme Court nominations of Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

Gerhardt is the author of several books, including The Power of Precedent (Oxford University Press, 2008) and the second editions of The Federal Impeachment Process: A Constitutional and Historical Analysis (University of Chicago Press, 2000) and The Federal Appointments Process (Duke University Press, 2003). He is also the co-author of each of the three editions of a reader on constitutional theory, and has written more than fifty law review publications on a diverse range of topics in constitutional law, federal jurisdiction and the legislative process.

Muller Leads Students in Fellowships at Auschwitz Program

Eric Muller

C

onstitutional law and legal ethics expert Eric Muller, Dan K. Moore Distinguished Professor in Jurisprudence and Ethics and associate dean for faculty development at UNC School of Law, participated this past summer as a faculty member in the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE).

The intensive, two-week summer program immerses 15 law students from schools across the country in an examination of how lawyers and judges in Nazi Germany facilitated the Holocaust.

Much of Muller’s scholarship has been dedicated to analyzing the internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II. Muller has published two books in the field, “Free to Die for Their Country: The Story of Japanese American Draft Resisters After World War II” (University of Chicago Press, 2003) and “American Inquisition” (UNC Press, 2007).

“I have been invited to participate in this program in part to give a comparative view of how lawyers and judges in the United States facilitated the oppression of Americans of Japanese ancestry,” said Muller, who became involved in the program through the invitation of Robert Burt, Alexander M. Bickel Professor of Law at Yale Law School. Burt led the 2011 FASPE with Amos Friedland, a trial lawyer in New York City, in association with the staff of New York’s Museum of Jewish Heritage.

Muller’s involvement in the program is personal as well as professional. “My father and grandparents were victims of the Nazi law reforms designed to victimize German Jews, and my great-uncle was deported to his death in a concentration camp in Poland.”

12 fall-winter 2011

Muller pointed out that many of the higher-ranking members of the Nazi Party were lawyers and judges. Even so, the legal changes that allowed genocide to occur in the 1940s began gradually in the 1930s, as it became possible to remove property rights and citizenship rights from people of Jewish descent. The question for the students may be one that has arisen again and again in the study of Nazi Germany: what could individuals do, either personally or professionally, to prevent or subvert these kinds of changes in the legal system?

“It’s a question of resistance. For example, a lawyer might use his professional discretion to decline to pursue an especially punitive course, or might ‘forget’ to file papers necessary to strip a person of his property,” he said. With respect to the internment of the Japanese, Muller pointed out that some lawyers did find ways to protest the program or soften its impact: a high-ranking lawyer within the United States government resigned over the program, and attorneys who worked for the government inside the internment camps often tried to help the prisoners protect their property outside the camps.

“These lawyers found ways to work for the government in a way that would do some good,” he said, adding that while the current perception of Nazi Germany equates resistance with death, there are well-documented examples of individuals who simply refused to carry out orders to imprison or execute and did not die for their refusal.

The law students and their teachers travelled to New York, Berlin, Krakow, and Auschwitz as a part of the program.

history

Albert coates and the unc law school Association

BY HowarD e. CoVington Jr.

P

rofessor albert Coates was teaching his first course at unC school of law in the fall of 1923, and it appeared that he was about to validate the criticism of unC President Harry Chase, who believed that those who taught the law ought to first have some practical experience.

Coates, undergraduate class of 1918, had been an outstanding graduate of unC. after three years at Harvard law school, roscoe Pound, Harvard’s dean, recommended Coates to President Chase. Chase hired the 27-year-old even though Coates had never completed even the basic task of drawing a deed. as Coates carried his students through his course in criminal law, he discovered a great gap between the law in the books and the law in practice. “the shortcoming was not in my casebook, it was in myself,” he later wrote. “i was in trouble and i knew it.”

Coates had boundless energy, a nimble mind, and loved the platform of public speaking. He was one of the last of the gifted orator-graduates of the university. Coates was also self-confident. rather than withdraw from difficult situations, he preferred attacking problems head-on. if he couldn’t bring personal experience to the classroom, he would simply bring in outstanding members of the bar to provide their experiences. such was the genesis of the unC law school association, the formation of which Coates announced in January 1924. under the young professor’s direction for the next five years, the association would bring students together with jurists and attorneys, and connect the entire law school community with the profession in new and creative ways. the activities of the association would also serve as an early model for Coates’ greatest contribution to north Carolina: the creation of the institute of government (now the school of government) in 1932.

a Law School in transition the law school was in transition when Coates arrived to take up his teaching duties. President Chase and lucius Polk Mcgehee, dean of the law school, were intent on raising the level of legal education, at least to the standard set by the american Bar association in 1921. aBa accreditation was available only to schools that based admission on at least two years of college and offered a three-year program of study. the president and the dean had succeeded in securing trustee approval for these changes, and firstyear students in Coates’ classroom in 1923 were the last admitted without any college credits.

when Dean Mcgehee died in the fall of 1923, the selection of his successor became a further test for the law school’s future.

Chase believed legal scholarship was paramount; he favored a dean from academia. “the question at the heart of the whole matter,” Chase said at the time, “is whether it is the function of the university law school to prepare an inferior brand of lawyers for law as a trade, or whether it shall prepare men for practice and leadership as a profession.”

Meanwhile, many trustees, including gov. Cameron Morrison, were looking for a senior member of the bar or someone with years on the bench to serve as Mcgehee’s replacement. in the end, Chase prevailed and in June 1924, the trustees chose Merton leroy ferson, the dean of the law school at george washington university, as the law school’s new dean.

Formation of the Law School association shortly after Christmas 1923, as Coates’ first term in the classroom was coming to an end, he announced the formation of the law school association. He based the organization on law clubs similar to ones he had known at Harvard. there were seven at first, but the number was soon reduced to four, with each named

for a former dean of the law school. The clubs honored William H. Battle, the founding dean, and his successors, John Manning, James C. MacRae and McGehee. The club presidents formed the association’s board of directors. Coates was the association’s director.

The association’s first program came on Jan. 25, 1924, when Chief Justice Walter Clark of the state Supreme Court opened a series of talks on the practice of law. The remaining four members gave similar talks in the succeeding weeks. Coates had been frank with the justices when he issued the invitations. The association had no money to pay a speaker’s fee, or even travel expenses.

Yet, he asked the justices to come prepared to speak for an hour or more as if they were being compensated for their time. They came, and then returned in succeeding years to conduct sessions that spread over two or three days.

Coates later wrote that the presentations by the justices brought him considerable relief. Their talks “helped me to get the feel of the law, to catch and carry the tune, to weather the first crisis of my teaching career.”

The justices remained on the schedule, and Coates expanded the program to include other members of the state judiciary as well as members of the bar. At the suggestion of Charles W. Tillett Jr., a leading attorney in Charlotte, N.C., the association created a series of lectures on the transactions of the law beyond the courtroom. Tillett himself took on the knotty issues of business partnerships and the organization of corporations. When Tillett finished his lectures, he asked students to take a set of facts he had prepared, offer advice on incorporation, and then draw the necessary papers.

Some of the state’s finest trial lawyers lectured on establishing a law practice, preparing a case for trial, examining witnesses and preparation for appeals. Students were required to prepare cases for trial, ranging from the most modest courts at the local level to the U.S. District Court.

Within a year, attorneys from across the state were regular visitors to Manning Hall, the law school’s home at the time in the heart of campus. The growing relationship between the bar and the school helped ease the misgivings of some senior members of the bar, who questioned the changes underway on campus.

Kemp Battle, of Rocky Mount, N.C., encouraged Coates to gain as much attention for the association as possible. He said publicity helped Chase’s supporters mitigate arguments from some trustees who believed “the law school [was] manned so largely by men of out-of-the-state affiliations, unacquainted and uninterested in the law of this particular jurisdiction.”

Coates was actually reviving a Law School Association that had been created in 1920 but survived for only one year under Professor Oscar Ogburn Efird. As Efird had done, Coates organized the law clubs as a form of appellate courts. Coates added the Supreme Court of the Law School Association, where winning teams at each level argued their cases. He recruited judges from the state’s judiciary, including the state Supreme Court to sit in panels that also included attorneys, such as Aubrey Brooks of Greensboro, N.C., J. S. Manning of Raleigh, N.C., and John A. McRae ’40 of Charlotte, N.C. Among the students testing their skills in the early days of the association were Susie Sharp ’29, who later became the first female chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, and

Henry Brandis, who became dean of the law school in 1949. One of the cases on the association’s docket in 1928 closely resembled a case Sharp heard nearly 30 years later when, as a superior court judge, she ordered a public golf course in Charlotte desegregated.

The local parks commission had denied admission of African Americans because of an exclusionary clause included in a gift of park land.

The “Laboratory” Coates, a bachelor, immersed himself in the work of the association. He was still repaying student loans, but he put $2,600 of his own money into the association’s work. He told one lawyer he asked for a supporting donation that he wanted to prove the association’s value before soliciting others. Members of the bar responded with cash and other contributions to create a model law office and a model courtroom that were outfitted with the latest equipment. When he ran out of space in the basement of Manning Hall, he took over an upper story in the building for what Coates called the association’s “laboratory.” A June 1928 article in the Alumni Review said “the new acquisitions were hailed by university officials and leaders in the legal profession as a great forward step in legal education, enabling students to combine theory and practice in ideal proportions.”

In an address to the Law School Association annual banquet in 1928, Coates reviewed the changes in legal education, from the days when postulates read law with a member of the bar, to the present day when legal training had moved onto the campus of colleges and universities. Over the years, Coates said, a lawyer had gone from acquiring “technique without learning” to “acquiring learning without technique.” The association helped “bridge the gaps in legal education, to correlate these separated fields of knowledge and focus them upon the problems of the law and its administration, to bring out a cooperating relationship between the classroom and the court room – the law school and the law office, between the law teacher, the lawyer, and the layman.”

Coates left Chapel Hill in 1929 for a year of graduate study at Harvard Law School. He returned in 1930 with his satchel filled with the outline of a program for law enforcement officers that he said would bridge the gap between the law in the books and the situations confronting police officers, county sheriffs and prosecutors. The purposes of what he called the Institute of Government closely aligned with those that had been set out of the Law School Association six years earlier. It would even have a “laboratory,” to serve the same purposes as the one he built for the association.

Under the deanship of Henry Brandis in the 1950s, students converted the Law School Association to its current permutation, the Student Bar Association (SBA), continuing old activities and adding new ones. Today, the SBA serves as the umbrella organization for approximately 45 other law school organizations.

Every law student is automatically a member. The SBA’s mission is to oversee student organizations, the coordination of alumni events and the organization of committees to improve library and academics.

UNC School of Law Honors Distinguished Alumni

U

NC School of Law honored three exceptional alumni at the school’s annual Law Alumni Weekend Leadership and Awards Dinner, Thursday, Oct. 13.

The Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to two alumni: Wade H. Hargrove Jr. ’65 and William D. Johnson ’82. The school also presented its Outstanding Recent Graduate Award to Ashley H. Campbell ’03.

“It is a singular honor to be nominated by one’s peers and then to be selected by the Law Alumni Association Executive Committee for these awards,” says John Charles “Jack” Boger ’74, dean and Wade Edwards Distinguished Professor of Law. “We have many distinguished alumni, and it is a delight to recognize several of them during Law Alumni Weekend.”

Distinguished Alumni Award Recipients Wade H. Hargrove Jr. ’65 Wade Hargrove is a senior partner in the Raleigh, N.C., office of Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard, LLP, and he runs a corporate, communications and media law practice. He has been asked to testify before Congressional and legislative committees on issues involving corporate law, copyright law, the Internet, satellite broadcasting, open government, libel and slander, political broadcasting, broadcast license renewal, cable television, and public utility law. He regularly advises clients in mergers and acquisitions and has served as counsel in some of the nation’s largest media transactions.

Hargrove was elected chair of the UNC Board of Trustees in July 2011. A former member of the University’s Board of Visitors and the School of Journalism and Mass Communications Board of Visitors, Hargrove served on the advisory committee for the Center for Media Law and Policy and the General Alumni Association Board of Directors. He served as alumni association president at UNC School of Law. Hargrove was the driving force behind the UNC Center for Media Law and Policy, a collaboration of the UNC journalism and law schools. In 2009, an annual media law colloquium at UNC was named in his honor.

William D. Johnson ’82 William D. “Bill” Johnson has served as chair, president and chief executive officer of Progress Energy since October 2007. Prior to that, he served as president and chief operating officer from January 2005 until October 2007.

ALUMNUS PROFILE

william frank Maready ’58 tHe nigHt Before the space shuttle Challenger rose for its final, tragic flight on Jan. 28, 1986, shuttle pilot navy Capt. Michael J. smith phoned his friend william frank Maready ’58. Maready, also a pilot, had just flown back from Cape Canaveral, fla., after the scheduled launch was delayed. smith, quarantined in preparation for the morning’s launch, wanted to know about the temperatures in an approaching cold front Maready had flown through on his way back to north Carolina.

“He was a man who did his homework,” says Maready, acknowledging smith’s prescience and professionalism. indeed, the cold front caused temperatures in florida that night to drop precipitously, hardening the rubber in the o-rings that were designed to create a seal in the solid rocket boosters during the launch. as the mercury dropped, the rubber lost its flexibility, allowing hot gasses to escape from a joint and bring about the explosion that destroyed the shuttle and its crew 73 seconds after liftoff.

Despite smith’s intuition about the severity of the cold front, he and the other crew members never knew what Maready later found out as he pursued a lawsuit on behalf of smith’s widow: engineers at utah-based Morton thiokol, the company that designed and manufactured the solid rocket boosters and the o-rings, had months before expressed concern that under certain conditions, the o-rings failed to provide a complete seal. the night before Challenger’s destruction – the same night smith called Maready to discuss the weather – a team of engineers and management met at the Morton thiokol offices in utah to discuss whether the launch could go on in the face of the predicted weather. “there had been several instances of o-rings not doing their job of sealing the cracks in the joints of the boosters,” Maready explains. “at the meeting, the engineers said the forecast temperature was below the critical point for the rubber to do its job.”

Despite the engineers’ concerns, the Morton thiokol team gave the go-ahead to launch, with tragic consequences. the shuttle disintegrated in flight, killing all aboard.

Maready agreed to represent smith’s widow in a lawsuit against Morton thiokol, which ultimately settled out of court, on the courthouse steps.

“for the people in the know,” Maready says, “the Challenger accident was somewhat predictable.” as the shuttle program wrapped up this year, Maready, who is now retired from a career as a civil trial lawyer and has had a career-long interest in space law, reflected on the flawed but ambitious project. “the shuttle program served a purpose of getting us to the edge of space,” he says. through his friendship with smith he had the unique opportunity to tour a shuttle while it was on the launch pad. the sight was impressive, he recalls.

“You cannot begin to imagine how large it was. when you stand next to a shuttle, you can’t believe that there is enough power on earth to blast it off the ground,” he says, comparing the size of the shuttle to a small skyscraper. the years of legal wrangling and research that followed the Challenger accident were perhaps the most famous of the complicated cases Maready took on in his career, but he brought his passion and energy to every problem before him, in and out of court. He has been actively involved in the leadership of the north Carolina Bar association and the american Bar association. in 2000 he was the first recipient of the John s. locke society freedom award. the father of five has also been recognized for his life-long commitment to the north Carolina Parent-teacher association. not bad, he says, for the son of a one-time tenant farmer on a tobacco farm in eastern north Carolina.

Maready attended n.C. state, served two years with the u.s. army 10th special forces group (green Berets), and then obtained his law degree from the unC school of law in 1958.

Scholarship Support Curriculum Reform + _______________________________

Students Pursuing Their Passions

Building Blocks for Success

BY MaDeline Vann PHotos BY Donn Young

his fall, students at unC school of law arrived to find a new curriculum in place, one that is geared to prepare students for the legal profession that they will enter after graduation. “the new curriculum is designed to do two things,” explains richard Myers ’98, george r. ward associate Professor of law and associate dean for student affairs. “one is to increase the amount of writing the first-year students get to do and the amount of feedback they receive on their writing. the second is to increase the number of offerings designed around practical skills in the upper division.” the changes to the curriculum were planned partly in response to feedback from students and alumni, changes in contemporary thinking about legal education strategies, and a tight economy that places graduates into more competitive hiring situations. “we consistently hear from students that they want more practical offerings,” Myers says. the committee to update the curriculum was co-chaired by Judith welch wegner, Burton Craige Professor of law and former dean, who worked with the Carnegie foundation’s Center for the advancement of teaching on a comparative study of professional education. results of the collaborative research project were summarized in The Carnegie Report’s Educating Lawyers: Preparation for the Profession of Law (2007). Maxine eichner, reef C. ivey ii Professor of law, also served as co-chair of the committee.

eNriChiNg the writiNg CUrriCULUm the first-year writing curriculum is being enriched by additional opportunities to practice legal research and writing of various types — such as briefs, memoranda, emails and letters — according to Craig smith, clinical professor of law, assistant dean for legal writing and success, and director of the research, reasoning, writing, and advocacy (rrwa) Program, which is taken by all students in their first year of law school. “one of the things we’ve heard from the bar and the people who look at law school reform is the more writing you do, the better,” Myers explains. to facilitate this transition, the school is hiring five full-time writing faculty members (two permanent full-time professors already started this fall) who will devote their full energies to preparing students for the writing demands of legal practice. smith says the goals of this six-credit, two-semester program are to help students develop the skills to communicate professionally and to be able to collaborate effectively. “above all, what we’re teaching is professional communication,” smith says. “the new curriculum changes work well in our small classes, because they foster regular writing and feedback to help students develop their writing skills effectively.”

During the fall semester, students focus primarily on basic legal research, reasoning and writing, according to smith. in the spring, they delve deeper into those skills and also focus on advocacy, by writing a brief and then presenting an oral argument. ruth ann Mckinney, clinical professor of law and former assistant dean of the writing and learning resources Center, which houses the rrwa program, credits law school faculty for the impetus to enhance the writing curriculum.

“Carolina law is on the cutting edge nationally with this new curriculum,” says Mckinney, who recruited smith in 2009 in

advance of her coming retirement in 2012. “this program represents a tangible and forward-thinking commitment by the faculty to providing our students with the opportunity to develop impeccable research skills and the ability to write with accuracy and eloquence.”

traNSitioN to praCtiCe the cutting-edge curriculum changes include transitionto-practice courses for upper-level students. the law school offered planning grants to faculty interested in developing new applied and simulation courses for second- and third-year students. students have long been offered the opportunity to work in clinics, or participate in externships or internships, which provide hands-on experience in a real-world setting, but recently faculty have begun to identify ways in which they could provide similar experiences in class. “the concept is to get people to do sophisticated work that depends on their knowing a subject matter area,” robert P. Mosteller, J. Dickson Phillips Distinguished Professor of law and associate dean for academic affairs, explains. “these are settings where students are doing practice-related writing as opposed to academic-related writing.” five faculty members took advantage of the planning grants to create new transition-to-practice courses. Mosteller explains that the planning grants will be offered again in the future, with the hope of offering up to 12 such courses.

He cites as an example a course designed by John Conley, william rand kenan Jr. Professor of law. Conley will bring three experts into the classroom to offer their perspectives from the field of biotechnology law.

“Biotechnology is an increasing focus for lawyers, especially in north Carolina,” explains Conley. But the field requires a diverse set

“Above all, what we’re teaching is professional communication.”

of skills because it has multiple components. every lawyer in the field needs basic science literacy. then, depending on the nature of the practice, it may require knowledge of patents and intellectual property, financing start-up companies, regulatory issues, bioethics, research protocols, or the process of moving drugs to market. “i designed a transition-to-practice course to try to bring together those elements,” he says. His course will feature guest speakers from the wide variety of fields that touch on biotechnology law, including venture capitalists and a bioethicist. students will also have the opportunity to draft a gene patent, structure a deal or write an ethics opinion the way a lawyer in a hospital might do. another such course was created for the spring 2011 semester, when assistant Professor Deborah gerhardt developed a seminar on drafting documents for intellectual property lawyers. students in the seminar had the opportunity to look at real-world examples of intellectual property issues, such as reviewing contracts and writing and responding to cease-and-desist letters. gerhardt argues that the curriculum changes will better prepare students to hit the ground running on their first day practicing law. an added benefit is that the course may help students land jobs – she learned that several third-year students who took her class were handed contracts during job interviews, and were better prepared to analyze them because of her class.

Due to the success of this seminar, she used it as a model to create a second practical course. gerhardt reached out to Devon white, a lawyer in the community, to help create the new course to be offered this year. “there are certain types of work that trademark lawyers regularly do, and the students [in the new trademark course] will have the opportunity to practice each of them at least once,” she explains. “i am especially excited for the 2ls taking this class, because they will be able to go into a summer job ready to take on real work for the firm’s clients.” other transition-to-practice courses include a bankruptcy course organized by Melissa Jacoby, graham kenan Professor of law; an advanced civil procedure course developed by Mark weidemaier; assistant professor of law, and a course on regulation and deregulation, offered by Donald Hornstein, aubrey l. Brooks Professor of law. “these transition-to-practice courses have a few prerequisites because the student needs to have the doctrine in hand before he or she can apply it,” says Mosteller, who refers to the courses as “practice related, but sophisticated.”

a SoLid FoUNdatioN in truth, Mosteller says, these changes in curriculum simply build on Carolina law’s strengths by pulling together a solid foundation in doctrine with the expertise and relationships that faculty members have built within their fields. the ultimate goal, Myers says, is to continue to graduate highquality legal students who can read, write and think like lawyers. although amidst national interest in how to keep legal education timely and competitive, unC’s effort to restructure its curriculum is ahead of the curve, Myers argues. “unC is making this move at a time that matches the way the world is looking at law school,” he says. “we are making the moves in advance of external pressure, at the right time and in the right way.”

“UNC is making this move at a time that matches the way the world is looking at law school.”

Carolina Law Scholarship Initiative Carolina Law is preparing our students for the changing nature of legal practice by strengthening our focus on experiential learning and practical skills development. The challenging economic climate means the law school is relying partially on tuition increases to fund these reforms, resulting in a higher cost of legal education for our students.

In response to the increased tuition and other financial pressures on our students, Carolina Law is embarking on an initiative to raise $5 million in scholarship support over the next three years. Scholarships are more important than ever to recruit the very best students, to maintain our historic commitment to broad access, and to ease the debt that graduates may carry with them into their professional careers.

For more information on how to establish a scholarship, contact Kris Jensen, associate dean for advancement, at 919.843.6998 or kjensen@unc.edu.

hird-year law student b. teSSa benJamin says her Haitian-american background gives her a personal connection to the diverse communities she hopes one day to serve with a civil rights law practice. “as i get further into my career, i realize what a broad array of legal work civil rights law encompasses,” says the 25-year-old. “there is so much necessary work to be done.”

Benjamin has worked on economic justice issues and “various issues of education inequality” through her experiences at unC school of law. “i am also especially interested in civil rights issues primarily affecting the immigrant community,” she says.

But, she explains, none of this would have happened without her scholarship, which “made it possible for me to attend law school, and it will make it financially feasible for me to practice the type of

law i am passionate about.” she receives the unC school of law scholarship and the Peter Daniel Memorial scholarship.

Benjamin says that her first amendment law course with william P. Marshall, william rand kenan Jr. Distinguished Professor of law; sexuality and the law, taught by Holning s. lau, associate professor of law; and the torts course taught by Maxine eichner, reef C. ivey ii Professor of law, were particularly inspiring. “the thought-provoking discussions in each of these classes allowed me to see the many ways in which the law powerfully shapes the lives of real people in both positive and negative ways,” she explains.

Benjamin also had the chance to intern with the unC Center for Civil rights during the summers after her first and second years at the school. “those internships gave me the opportunity to get to know various communities in north Carolina, to put my knowledge of law into practice on issues i care about, to meet incredible attorneys, and to add them to the long list of mentors i have found at Carolina law,” she says, adding, “i have never had so many mentors outside of my own family before coming to Carolina law!” it’s a level of support that she feels is a necessary complement to the intensity of legal studies. “i feel grateful to know that i will be able to count on each of them in the future for advice and support as i continue to develop my career,” Benjamin says.

John “graham” Corriher says the scholarship that supports his studies at unC school of law not only takes away some of the financial burden of law school, but also provides him with a network of fellow scholarship recipients.

Corriher is a Chancellors scholarship recipient and is also co-chair of the Chancellors scholars group. Chancellors scholars receive full tuition for all three years of law school.

“Chancellors scholars can be found in a wide range of careers and are eager to offer advice and support to current scholars,” he explains. “i’ve reached out to former scholars at Chancellors scholars events and through a telephone call or email and have always received a quick and helpful response.”

Corriher, who is interested in both criminal and education law, credits the scholarship for an opportunity to serve in an unpaid internship at the wake County District attorney’s office after his second year.

“What attracted me to Carolina Law is the acknowledgment that lawyers exist to serve society, in one form or another.”

— Graham corrIher

“under the third-year practice rule, i had the opportunity to prosecute more than a dozen cases in district court. i was also fortunate enough to be paired with a very talented felony prosecutor for four weeks as she prepared and tried a first-degree murder case in superior court,” says Corriher, who sat second-chair for the trial and is also president of the unC Broun national Mock trial team. “it was an exciting few weeks, but full of poignant moments that really impressed upon me the power of criminal law and the responsibility lawyers, especially prosecutors, have.”

He says the scholarship has also allowed him to pursue his interest in education law. “i was a high school teacher before law school and enrolled to pursue a career in education law. i still remain passionate about education and its ability to change one’s future and the future of the state, too. But in addition to continuing to actively pursue that goal, the scholarship has allowed me to explore other areas about which i’m also passionate.”

Corriher is a third-generation teacher who taught social studies and coached basketball before coming to Carolina law. He says he plans to return to the classroom at some time in the future. “i am committed to being a familiar face in the schools in the community in which i finally settle, organizing mock trials, leading field trips, offering advice, teaching a unit on the legal system, or supporting student organizations and athletic clubs. education has provided me so many opportunities and it is my duty to do my part to give back,” he explains. Currently he isn’t aiming to teach in law school, although he says he admires the faculty at unC for their commitment to educating future lawyers. Judith welch wegner, Burton Craige Professor of law and former dean, has inspired much of this admiration; he notes her commitment to educating individual students. “what attracted me to Carolina law is the acknowledgement that lawyers exist to serve society, in one form or another,” says the 26-year-old. He will be working in the education law section of tharrington smith, llP in raleigh, n.C., after his graduation in 2012.

h a fall break trip to write wills in some of the poorest communities in north Carolina cemented 3l bethan eynon’S commitment to apply her legal education in north Carolina. the 26-year-old envisions a career in public service and says the merit scholarship she received to study at Carolina law will make that possible.

“I feel that I should use my talents to do good for society, and, for me, that means helping those who would otherwise have no legal representation,” Eynon says. She receives the UNC School of Law Scholarship, the Kirby Law Scholarship and the North Carolina Bar Association D. Staton & Maude B. Inscoe Scholarship.

The Ohio native says her scholarship initially reduced the burden of out-of-state tuition and then, once she qualified for in-state tuition, has played a role in helping her pursue her dream of public service without an excessive financial burden.

“I’m dedicated to staying in the public interest sector after graduating, and, in fact, came to UNC with that intent. Any reduction in my debt load eases the personal financial sacrifice that comes with working in the public sector,” she explains.

In addition to public service, Eynon says she enjoys and seeks out leadership roles. She is currently director of the Pro Bono Program Board, which keeps her extremely busy outside of classes.

“In the future I can see myself holding a bar association officer position or something similar,” she says.

Helping people through pro bono service is rewarding, Eynon says, and has provided an unexpected benefit – she feels more grounded in North Carolina, her new home state. She and her partner prioritized moving to North Carolina in part because of the high employment rates, quality of life and vibrant community.

“I have learned so much about North Carolina through my pro bono work, and often find myself with more knowledge about rural areas of the state than those who are natives,” she says.

Her volunteer work has connected her to local attorneys, firms and non-profit organizations. Two externships, one with the North Carolina State Attorney General’s office, and the second with a judge on the Orange/Chatham District Court, further strengthened her ties to the region.

28 fall-winter 2011

“I look forward to being established in my career enough so that I can give back to the law school, whether financially or through coming back to network with and support students,” Eynon says.

h Engineer Cody Gillians says his desire to enter the field of intellectual property brought him to UNC School of Law. He worked in electrical engineering for nearly 10 years before he decided to embark on his career change.

“I talked to my mentor about my desire to change careers, and she suggested law. Law really appealed to me because of the variety of work lawyers perform, and I can still work with technology,” says the 31-year-old. “Anything related to technology appeals to me.”

But he wouldn’t be at Carolina Law if not for his UNC School of Law Scholarship. Switching careers is an expensive, challenging decision for a professional like Gillians.

“Basically, it helps to ease the financial burden of going to school,” Gillians says. “As a result, I need fewer loans, and I have more flexibility.”

In addition to the scholarship, Gillians has worked as a summer intern at law firms. He says he would like to work with small, start-up companies in the future.

Despite his experience in the professional world, Gillians admits law school gave him some early challenges.

“My first oral argument during my first year is one thing I will never forget, because I was very nervous,” he says.

Another eye-opener for the engineer came with a spring break trip to provide pro-bono will preparation services to low income residents of Eastern North Carolina.

“it was great practical experience,” says the native of Chesapeake,Va. “it was even better because i was taking a course on wills, trusts and estates, so it was one of the few opportunities at school where you can take a class and get some practical experience at the same time.”

He is on the North Carolina Journal of Law and Technology board after serving as a staff member last year, and he has also lined up an externship with the small Business and technology Development Center in Chapel Hill, n.C. gillians says he hopes one day to be able to support other law students – as he has been helped – with a contribution toward a scholarship. “i see a lot of my friends working in the public sector, which doesn’t pay as much, and i’d like to give money back to allow other students to practice without the financial burden of repaying debt,” he says.

h third-year law student aleXanDer “aleX” abramoViCh says that his recent experience working on a pro bono case to help an asylum seeker escape persecution has inspired him to keep pro bono work as a priority in his career. the 27-year-old is the recipient of an aycock-Poe Merit scholarship, which covers about three-fourths of his tuition. He plans to focus his career around business law and white collar crime. “the scholarship has definitely made funding my legal education

easier and lessens the stress of having to take on so much debt,” says abramovich, who also completed his undergraduate education at unC. thanks to the low cost of living and tuition at unC school of law, abramovich says the scholarship support goes farther, allowing him more financial flexibility in choosing between private and public employment. “i went to law school because i wanted to help people,” he says.

During his second year, abramovich volunteered as a spanish translator for the clinic programs. as past president of the Hispanic latino law students association, abramovich says he would like to continue to use his spanish fluency to help people in need of legal services. this semester, abramovich is participating in an externship with the office of the Comptroller of the Currency (oCC) in the treasury Department in washington, D.C. “i am working full time at the oCC in the enforcement and Compliance division. this opportunity will not only let me learn by doing and provide class credit, but it will also be a chance to experience working for the national regulator of banks,” he says. whatever the future holds and wherever it takes him, abramovich says he wants to stay close to unC, in spirit if not in fact, so that he, too, can support the education of future deserving students.

He hopes his scholarship program will allow students from the area to obtain their legal education and then return to their home counties (although this is not a requirement of the scholarship) to participate in the community and contribute to the growth of the region.

“I’ve always felt that that part of North Carolina is a true gem,” he said. “We have some amazing wilderness areas, including the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s a challenge for rural areas to develop economically but still protect those assets.

“Part of this scholarship is to encourage a lot of students to step back and remember who they are and where they come from, and how important that place is to the makeup of all individuals,” Gray says.

primarily to two things – hard work and his Carolina connections.”

All of Huskins’ law clerks were Carolina Law graduates. They speak of him fondly.

“I remember Justice Huskins as vividly as if we had just parted company,” says Moses Luski ’78, now partner at Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP, in Charlotte. “I especially remember his unique traits of friendliness, humility, and, most of all, his wisdom and reserve. He taught me that conservatism was a virtue, and he, in turn, was wise enough to know that a young law clerk’s fresh take on the law was essential to the development of the law.”

North Carolina State House Minority Leader Joe Hackney ’70 says one of his memories of Huskins during the time he clerked for him was his passion for UNC basketball.

“He lived and died by the basketball fortunes of Dean Smith,” Hackney says.

More seriously, he adds, “Justice Huskins was a meticulous, fact-based student of the law. We made a good team. He regarded all his clerks as too liberal, and he loved to poke fun at any arguments on the left side. But he would listen and consider, and he liked to have his legal arguments challenged by the young folks who worked for him.”

Kapp says it is important to remember that, as much as Huskins loved his alma mater, it was his wife, Ruth, who made the bequest to endow the scholarship in her late husband’s name. The couple had a close relationship, according to Kapp, and Ruth

Education: B.A. in Mathematics (1998), St. Mary’s College of Maryland; M.A.T. in Secondary Mathematics Education (1999), UNC Chapel Hill; J.D. (2005), UNC Chapel Hill.

Professional Organizations: I am a member of the North Carolina State Bar. How long have you worked at the law school? I am beginning my fifth academic year.

What do you like best about working in Student Services? The diversity of things I get to do on a day-to-day basis, and the energy that the students bring to the building.

What was your first job? My first job was working at Flowerfield Gardens Nursery in Holtsville, N.Y. Prior to attending law school, I was a high school math teacher for three years at Southern High School in Durham. I taught algebra, geometry and pre-calculus.

How do you like to spend your free time?

I enjoy spending time with my wife and dog. We have a 7-year-old black standard poodle named Jax that we got during the end of my second year in law school. Jax had a hand (or a paw) in helping me land my first job after graduating from Carolina Law. The owner of his brother helped me build a network of contacts while I was job searching. I also enjoy gardening, golfing, cooking and watching way too much ESPN. What are you reading? The Man Watching: A Biography of Anson Dorrance, the Unlikely Architect of the Greatest Sports Dynasty

Ever by Tim Crothers. One book I read recently that I really enjoyed was The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.

Faculty Books Integrating Schools in a Changing Society New Policies and Legal Options for a Multiracial Generation Edited by Erica Frankenberg and Elizabeth DeBray UNC Press, 2011. 352 pages.

ISBN-13: 9780807835128 Integrating Schools in a Changing Society is the product of a 2009 conference, which was sponsored by UNC’s Center for Civil Rights and managed by the Center’s education attorney, Ashley Osment ’95. The book, just published in November 2011, was dedicated in memory of Osment, who died in May 2010 after a three-year long battle with ovarian cancer.

The book includes 18 essays by a roster of leading scholars in educational policy and related fields — including an essay by Dean John Charles “Jack” Boger ’74 — seeking to illuminate new ways for American public education to counter persistent racial and socioeconomic inequality. “[Osment] embodied to all who knew her passion and commitment to equality of educational opportunity, and to human and civil rights,” the editors wrote of her in the book’s acknowledgement.

Core Grammar for Lawyers

Reappraisals in the Law of Property John V. Orth Ashgate, 2010. 172 pages.

ISBN-13: 9780754677314 Many basic doctrines of property law are very old, dating to the medieval era. How can legal rules that were born so long ago remain viable today? In Reappraisals in the Law of Property, author John V. Orth considers selected topics in property law – including personal property, estates and future interests, concurrent estates, landlord and tenant, easements, and conveyancing – in order to discover the forces that have made and continue to remake these areas of the law. Though he finds no single unifying theory to explain the development of property law, Orth does propose three forces in particular that have shaped it over time: the inertial force of tradition, the reforming power of judicial and legislative activism, and the constant challenge of academic criticism. Together, these themes form the foundation of a critical and challenging work, one that reevaluates property law and demonstrates both its enduring consistency and the unique and often drastic ways in which it has evolved in the modern era.

I Am a Chancellors Scholar Richard E. Myers II

ach of us, whether we know it or not, has an unofficial, “water-cooler,” professional biography. It consists of those few lines that sum us up quickly for those in the know, and it usually includes our degree, then runs in reverse chronological order. Mine would read something like this: “That guy?

Richard Myers, UNC J.D. 1998; tenured UNC law professor, former federal prosecutor, D.C. Circuit clerk, Chancellors Scholar.

Every stop in that professional biography was made possible because I am a Chancellors Scholar from Carolina Law. Receiving that scholarship changed my life – in really important ways. It made me believe I could do something that mattered at Carolina Law and beyond, because I was one of the half-dozen incoming students chosen through a competitive series of on-campus interviews to receive the scholarship. I was a non-traditional student, who had graduated from UNC Wilmington, not from Harvard or Stanford or Chapel Hill. The school was collectively placing a bet on the first-generation-everything Jamaican immigrant who had just spent four years as a newspaper reporter. It also made me study that much harder, and made me more determined to be a student leader, so I could repay that trust.

I was privileged to be assigned to work closely with Ken Broun, now Henry Brandis Professor of Law Emeritus, as his research assistant as part of the Chancellors Scholar experience. I learned about the value of applied scholarship by working on his evidence books, one on North Carolina evidence that is a bible for practitioners in this state, and on McCormick on Evidence, which is the hornbook for practitioners nationwide. Listening to him talk about his experiences teaching lawyers in South Africa and watching him serve as a mentor to me and so many others made him a wonderful role model.

The scholarship made it possible for me to clerk on the D.C. Circuit, because the judge who hired me was a Carolina Law alumnus, and he knew what it meant to receive financial aid as a student. I went on to work at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm, and took my Chancellors Scholarship credential with me.

Most important of all, because I was a scholarship recipient, I was able to walk away from that law firm without a set of golden handcuffs. I was able to pay off the modest debt I had accumulated in law school for living expenses in my first years at the firm. So on Sept. 12, 2001, the day after my sense of my place in the world shifted as I watched the Twin Towers come down, I 48 fall-winter 2011

was able to send my resume to the U.S. Attorney’s office and seek a position as a federal prosecutor. And after four years of government service, I was fortunate enough to be invited back to join the faculty at my alma mater, the school that had placed that bet on me, and invest my life in teaching the next generation of law students. I had been chopping the trees down one at a time in my particular legal forest, but I shifted my focus to building axes.

I have come full circle. As associate dean for Student Services, I am fortunate enough to work closely with Assistant Dean Michael States and the faculty members, alumni and students who help to select and recruit the next crop of Chancellors Scholars. Each year, they get better, as do all the students who enter this place.

A talented group of alumni, faculty and staff are working on enhancing and improving the program and solidifying long-term funding, so that it continues to provide opportunities to a new generation of students.

And each year, through my multiple roles here at Carolina Law, I am privileged to see the students grow, as lawyers and student leaders. I get to coach them on the Broun National Trial Team, or on the moot court. I talk to them about the articles they write for the North Carolina Law Review or the pro bono projects they choose to undertake. I get to listen as they tell me about the amazing jobs they land: prosecutors, defense attorneys, big firm associates, patent lawyers, hometown lawyers. I get to talk to them about being leaders and advocates, and to see how proud they make us as Chancellors Scholars.

It is fashionable right now in some circles to talk about the declining value of a law school education. Each of us in legal education is worried about the rising costs. Carolina Law has long been, and remains, one of the best values in legal education in the country. For me, as a Chancellors Scholar, it has been of enormous professional value. I became a part of the Carolina Law family. I was taught to see the world in a different way, to analyze problems, to find my voice. I was taught much about the law, and taught how to teach myself more. I was credentialed so I could stand up and seek justice on behalf of the people of the United States. I met some of my closest friends here. And in teaching here, I found a calling. I am Richard Myers, UNC J.D. 1998; tenured UNC law professor, former federal prosecutor, D.C. Circuit clerk. Chancellors Scholar.
