Richmond Law - Winter 1997 by UR Scholarship Repository

Classrooms are the latest area of the T.C. Williams School of Law to join the electronic age. Three classrooms have already been modified to give each seat an electrical outlet and a computer connection to the law school's network. Teaching with computers takes on a whole new meaning when online resources are available to professor and students at each session. (Srestocy, p. 2.) All students now attending T.C. Williams have entered since the school first required them to purchase laptop computers.

FOR THE RECORD

Classrooms wired, computer lab upgraded Teaching with computers takes on a whole new meaning when a professor can display computer information on a screen as students follow the process o n their own laptop computers . That technology is now available in three classrooms at TC. Williams as yet another step in the law school's effort to fully employ technology for legal education. The wired classrooms are one benefit of a gift from Robert Ripley, R'66 and L'69, to update the technologica l infrastructure at T.C. Williams. Classrooms 101 , 102 and 114 have been moclifiecl to give each seat an electrica l outlet and a computer connection to the la w school's network. Dr. Michael Allan Wolf uses the technological capabilities of the wired classrooms in his property and environmenta l law classes. "I've used the computers to send and receive e-mail during

class, for example, during a drafting exercise. My classes have used a diskette version of the Hornbook and searched legal databases for case law." Wolf also has created an internal Web page which he puts on the class noticeboard. Students download the page in class and open it as a fil e on the World Wide Web. "And I often use the computer screen in lieu of a blackboard," Wolf says. The skills gained may be as valuable as the information gathered. "The technology enables students to get the 'cyber lawyer' skills they can get only by doing," he says. Online resources are now available to students throughout the day. With their laptop computers, students can go online during class or in their libra1y study carrels. They can also stop in the Muse Law Libra1y's recently updated computer lab to print the ir work.

Thanks to an anonymous donation of $50,000, the computer lab in the libra1y has been updated to se1ve more students and do it more efficiently. The origina l lab, bu ilt in the mid1980s, had nine PCs and one laser printer. Wh ile the computers were updated over the years, they weren't current, and the laser printer was overworked. Renovation took place last summer. Ten Pentium computers and four laser printers were brought in, and a U-shaped table clesignecl for computers was aclcled along with new, ergonomically correct chairs. All computers in the room are net路workecl, allowing students access to Lexis, Westlaw, Netscape, Corel, WordPerfect 7 and CALI (Computer Assisted Legal Instruction) exercises. Each of the 10 terminals is networked to one of the laser printers.

Joyce Manna Janto, acting director of the law library, says the room is heavily used. "The lab's hours are 7:30 a.m. to midnight five clays a week and until 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and the student workers here at closing tell me they always have to ask people to leave." Another indicator of use: in the fall 1996 semester, 630,000 sheets of paper were run through the laser printers. The anonymous donor obviously is aware of the cost of printer supplies; replacing toner in the laser printers is one element included in the grant. Janto says one of the most common uses of the lab is for students to check their e-mail. With the lab's location near the libra1y's entrance, students can easily drop in for five minutes without having to go to the computers at thei r carrels further inside the libra1y. - Forrest Hughes

Gibbs takes post at NSU Law Center Ann Setien Gibbs, associate clean of administration, began working in February in a similar position at Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad Law Center in Fo1t Lauderdale, Fla .

incluclecl supervising student affai rs, admissions and recruitment; working with the fina ncial aid office; managing the law school budget; and supe1vising Jaw school personnel. At NSU Law Center, her job is similar, but it also includes development activities. "It's a good career expansion, with some additional responsibilities," Gibbs says. The position she fills is a

new one. She works with Joseph D. Harbaugh, dean ofT.C. Williams from 1987-95 and now dean of NSU Law Center. "T.C. Williams and SU Law Center really are more similar than they are different," Gibbs says. "Like T.C. Williams, the law center is a smaller private school in a state with two strong, well-known pu blic law schools [Florida State University and the University of Florida]."

Gibbs sees her biggest challenge as admissions: nationwide, the number of law school applicants is expected to drop from 100,000 in 1994 to just 50,000 in 1998. Also new for Gibbs is working with a larger student body. NSU's first-year class totals 270, while T.C. Williams has 160.

DISCOURSE

Juvenile iustice system discussed quency ... He listed several generally perceived causes, including pove1ty, dysfun ctional families and genetics. However, he acknowledged that there is "no universal agreement nor comprehensive definition of the concept of juvenile delinquency." Covering the historical development of the juvenile justice system, Koontz analyzed the shift from the early use of apprenticeship programs to the development of the more modern concept of parens patriae. He then focused on the establishment of the Juvenile Coult Act and the subsequent reassessment unde1taken by the Supreme Cowt in the 1960s. Throughout his lecture, Justice Koontz referred to presentday effo1ts to erode the foundation and existence of the juvenile justice system. He repeatedly noted the recent emphasis on treating juvenile delinquents more like adult At the Austin Owen Lecture are, from left, Judge James criminals. W.

"The inability of the juvenile justice system to be a panacea for the evils it sets out to address is not a justification for abandoning or even lessening its effort," said Justice Lawrence L. Koontz Jr., L'65, the first TC. Williams alumnus to sit on the Virginia Supreme Cou11 since 1974. Justice Koontz discussed reassessment of the juvenile justice system in the fifth annual Austin Owen Lecture in September. The Austin Owen Lecture is held each fall in honor of the late Honorable Austin E. Owen, L'50, judge of the Second Judicial Circuit of Virginia until his retirement in 1990. Koontz's lecture addressed what he believes to be the "single most significant innovation of the American system of

a mirror image of the adult criminal justice system, but that it affords lesser punishment for criminal acts merely because of the age of the offender, "Justice Koontz said. "That perception borne of fear and understandable frustration has undoubtedly steadily eroded the suppolt of the nobler aspirations of the juvenile system," he added. Koontz addressed some of the concerns that come with evaluating the juvenile justice system. He stated that the administration of justice is "at a crossroads" and that "reassessment is the order of the day." Koontz views periodic reassessment as dangerous; he feels that oftentimes reassessment is an "all-too-appealing quick fix. " Using examples of juvenile justice successes, Justice Koontz looked at the positive results that can be produced within that system. In pa1ticular, he cited the case of a 17-year-old who stole a neighbor's car and drove from Roanoke to Florida, where he was arrested. Retained within the juvenile justice system and treated as a juvenile, he eventual ly got out of the system and now runs an insurance company. It is with successes such as these that Koontz encourages the legal profession to let "constructive reassessment rather than rejection be our watchword ." "Not all change is positive, and not all change is justified," he added. Justice Koontz ended his lecture with a plea to the future lawyers in attendance to be involved in the reassessment process and to "guard against uninformed rejection of this impo1tant area of the law." - .foseApo111e.

A W INDOWONTHEWORLD BY ROB WALKER

When Professor John Paul Jones teaches constitutional law to a class that includes a German, a Nigerian and a Korean, the lessons change. .. All these unspoken presumptions we Americans have about individua l rights and the role of citizens and government come into question, and to very usefu l purposes, " Jones says. "We all have to stretch a little more.路路 When Professor Azizah alHibri teaches about business and commerce, or on more arca ne issues like Islamic jurisprudence, the LebaneseAmerican believes she provides rare insights into Moslem cultures that dominate nations with which the United States has vital interests. Religious and legal issues sometimes become entangled in these relationships, al-Hibri says. "We must have some understanding of them." "I can pull out examples of how things are done differently in other countries, how laws are different, and how we in the nited States have made different choices than people in other places," she says. "It is very important if we are going to structure corporations to be competitive globally. " The di versity in law school classrooms represented here has developed over more than a decade as a result of unwavering commitment on the part

of the school. The six-member admissions committee for the T.C. Williams School of Law, which includes a student and the admissions director, weighs the costs and benefits of each applicant in a highly competitive process. It hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it. "People from divergent socioeconomic classes, people from different geographic regions, people with different educational experiences give panoramic reactions that broaden everyone's perception ," says Jones, the facu lty member who heads the ac.lmissions committee. "With a diverse facu lty and student body, we get richer experiences from one another; we get our hypotheses tested by persons with different perspectives. That makes each of us better at what we do. "And we are serving the needs of a greater community by suppl ying lawyers who make up what you might ca ll a diverse product line, " Jones says. "We react to current demands and historic trends, and to the community's interests. " A decade or so ago, the law school students and fa culty were made up of "very qualified people , but they were almost all white and largely they were from Virginia ," says Ann Gibbs, who was associate dean until earlier this yea r when she

moved to a law school in Florida. "We thought we did not rea lly represent the real world or the legal community that our graduates would be working in. " The lack of diversity had ereated an impression among people who were "different" that "the climate seemed hostile," she says. '路We needed to change that. So we nurtured those who came here. We tried to be supportive, and eventually. our efforts began to show. Word of mouth does a lot and the word is, this is a good place for all kine.ls of people. " Over the last decade, for example, the number of AfricanAmerican students applying to the law school almost tripled, from 51 in 1985, to 140 last yea r, says Michelle Rah man, director of admissions. Significantly, of the 14 who enrolled in 1986, just two remained a yea r later. Of the 19 who entered with the class of '95 , none had left school a yea r la rer. The percentage of women in the law school has held steady at just under 50 percent for more than a decade, except for the 1993 entering class in which 52 percent were women. At the same time, the number of students from other countries, and from a diverse range of geographical regions, has increased at T. C. Williams, Rahman says. "We have made this a more hospitable place," Rahman says. "Our actions have spoken a lot

louder than words. We've shown students from all sorts of backgrounds that we ca re about them. That's our niche. That's what we offer. " The va riety of backgrou nds and experiences now found in an entering class have given rise to some remarkable stories on campus over the years - some of them heartbreaking, others inspirational, Rahman says. There have been students who found themselves torn between strong family bonds and the severe demands of law school. There are older students with families to feed , and there are women who come from broken marriages with children to support and care for while they seek ca reers that will make them self-sufficient in the future. Whatever their background or circumstances, students report they have found a sense of belonging, a supportive atmosphere, and plenty of give-andtake with their classmates as ideas and ways of thinking are challenged. Nigel Young, L'96, came to T.C. Williams with a law degree from England, four children and more than a decade's work experience in equine law and insurance law. He found going back to school "terrifying and wonderful, " he says. "I enjoyed it enormously... Young says he was especially impressed with the student mix

at T. C. Wi ll iams, where people like himself provided "a little leavening in the bread. " "I was astounded by some of the people there. Some were in ve1y tough ci rcumstances, " says Young, 38. "I admire them enormously. It's staggering w hat some of them are doing. " No one draws more of that kind of praise than Christy Hodge Allen, 1"96, who works pan-time while studying for a master's degree in health administration at the Medica l College of Vi rginia through a jo int degree program offered by MCV and T. C. Williams. Hodge, 27, broke her neck in a diving accident while she was in college. She is a quadraplegic, confined to a wheelchair. But "confined" is a misleading term for someone who decided that a law degree would better enable her to work as an advocate fo r people in similar circumstances. T.C. Will-

iams proved to be the right place for her. "Of the law schools I applied to, Richmond was the most accommodating," she says. "As soon as I enrolled they wa nted to know what I would need, what they could do to help," which incl uded such p ractical measures as assigning her a firstfloor ca rrel with a raised desk, and providing her with additional time to write essays and take tests. But in general, "nobody treated me differently," she says. "I developed some great friendships. And I understand there路s another student in a wheelchair there now, so maybe I helped some ."

versity in Washington fo r providing him with the skills that he relies on for success. His wife is a marketing manager with Richmond based brokerage firm , Wheat First Butcher Singer. After spending seven yea rs in corporate America with companies including Philip Morris USA in Boston , Parham decided to return to school to pursue his childhood goal of becoming a lawyer. "The opponunity to interact and exchange ideas with a student body as diverse as Richmond 's has helped broaden my approach to life's challenges,路路 he says. "'My main objective is to grow every clay, and the students and faculty at T. C. Will iams are a great stimu lus." Richmond 's reputation and its advocacy of computer literacy in the field of legal education appealed to Parham. Those features, combined with the accessible fa culty and close-knit envi-

ronment made Richmond the perfect law school for him. First-year student SangChae Choi , 38, brings to the law school an international perspective, like Nigel Young, and the experience of a previous career, like Young and Parham. Choi is a former manager and senior trade analyst with the Korean International Trade Association, where he also was editor of an international trade publication. He is a Buddhist, a veteran of the Korean army, and he is married w ith two children . He spent so much time in his work with KITA on U.S . trade laws that he decided to become a lawyer. And while Richmond was not as well known as other D.C.-area law schools to \vhich he applied , it has been 'wonderful,'. he says.

Added to the academic rigor of first-year law school for Choi is the language barrier, since English is not his native tongue. A native of Korea , he bad never attended school in the U.S. 'The academic burdens are tough but people work together. They help yo u cope." Also coming to T.C. Williams from a different culture is Olivia Guil laume, 24, the first student to come to the law school from France through a recently-initiated exchange program. Two more French students have followed , and T. C. Williams students have the opportuni ty to cross the Atlantic to study in France. Guillaume says her interest in business law brought her here because the United States and the emerging European Union should be dominant players in the world economy during her career. Her skills with English and computers have improved dramatically during her time

here, making her much more marketable than when she left France, Guillaume says. She also prefers T.C. Williams to France's government-run law schools, where students often are in classes with hundreds and where teaching means lecturing. "There , teachers look down on students. Here, it is more equal , more personal. There, if you don't get it, you don 't get it. Here, they will work with you ," she says. In fact, she says that eve1yone at the University went out of their way to help her get an education she couldn't have imagined before the exchange program was set up. '·Staff in the admissions office and the dean 's offi ce did everyth ing they could to help me,"' she says. '·J knew they were always avai lable for eve1y concern, and they really did a great job." 'The quality of the education, the experience here is way above my expectation," she says.

Guillaume's experience is reflected in others who have come to T.C. Will iams from unusual places. The size of the school, the personal attention, and the quality of the education inspire praise. For some, it's been so good that they hope to stay here to live and \VOtk Choi says he planned originally to return to Korea after working in the United States for a few years, but he is reconsidering now.

and of regulation on American life really cannot be captured in mere words. Without skilled lawyers, working doggedly and conscientiously, bringing to bear their multifaceted legal expertise, engaging their capacity to think, organize and genera lly '·get things done,., our societal engine would grind to a halt. Lawyers are just as essential to the workings of today's American society as lubricating o il is to the workings of an internal combustion engine. Now for a third dimension of why lawyers matter. People come to lawyers for advice and help. Sometimes they come when they have wrenching difficulties or enormously exciting opportunities; in either instance, when the matters at hand can change their lives. Lawyers have ample occasion to be counselors and friends when wise advice, suppo1t and comfort are needed. Lawyers help carry people through difficult times. There are three ways, then, in which lawyers matter: • As the priestly caste of our society's unifying and problem-solving legal tradition • As essential lubricating o il for the nittygritty, complicated workings of our societal engine, and • As counselors and friends in time of need. Lawyers can serve these three roles on a national or international stage affecting millions, or in the village green affecting a few, but the roles are the same in either instance. Lawyers can work in these three roles while harvesting the ample financial rewards that often accompany legal success. Lawyers can work in these three roles while building major practices, or becoming renowned law professors, or helping to grow prestigious, prosperous institutions. But if this is all lawyers do, they will not adeq uately fulfill these three roles. More is required. There are countless ways that society needs lawyers that do not pay (indeed. may cost), that do not advance the lawyer's career (indeed, may interfere with it), and that do not always involve trafficking with nifty people. Sometime during lawyers' careers the public good is entitled to the same attention as the private interest. At various points in lawyers' careers, they must attend to the

SoMETIME DURJN(; l.AWYERs' cAREERs THE PUBuccooo 1s ENTITLED TO THE SAME ATTENTION AS THE PRIVATE INTEREST. ... BECAUSE LAWYERS CAN DO SO MUCH COOD, THEIR OBl.ICA rI00! Of' SERVICE IS SERIOUS.

poor, or to nonprofit institutions, or to the bar, or to government seivice. They must bring to bear for the public good significant time, not just fleeting, episodic moments; they must bri ng to bear for the public good the full force of their intellect, education and experience, as much emotional energy as the circumstances require, and genuine ambition for the success of the effo1ts at hand. Because lawyers can do so much good, their obligation of se1vice is serious. When a lawyer goes the way of all flesh, if no legacy is left from a career at law except a staggering mass of billable hours or a staggering mass of scholarly publications, society has just cause for complaint. "Thomas Jefferson's idea ," to quote a clean in Charlottesville, "was to produce a cadre of lawyers whose influence was largely felt outside their legal practices in the se1vices they provided to the larger social and political community." One person in our time who has lived Jefferson's idea is William B. Spong Jr. Bill Spong, as you know, has been a practicing lawyer, legislator, law schoo l clean, med iator and member of countless nonprofit boards. A little over a decade ago, Spong said this to a group of graduating law students: You should t1y to avoid awakening in your middle years, after the coveted partnership is obtained, to discover that a life of billable hours, club memberships and foreign automobiles is not enough ; that success and happiness are not always the same and that your capacity to be helpful to others and relate to others may have been impaired by single-minded efforts in your practice, often in a specialized area of competence not related to human needs and human understanding. Arn I suggesting that you should avoid specia lization in one of the myriad of new areas of the law? No. Am I suggesting that you should avoid large firm practice? No. Am I so naive that I would attempt to dissuade you from seeking the most competitive of ituations? No.

I am, however, ale1ting you to the clanger of spending your fo rmative years bereft of literature, music, art, an appreciation of nature, and most impo1tantly, the joys of family life. Jefferson's idea of ta king the study of law away from the apprentice model and into an academic setting, was .. . to assure that the practicing lawyer would be a whole person, with an understanding and appreciation of many things beyond the artisan demands of a skilled trade. Try to avoid becoming a sophisticated artisan - a digit or myopic clone in an emerging market model that is becoming increasingly dominant in the legal profess ion today. You should cheerfully and diligently pursue the tasks assigned you as a lawyer, but do not do so to the total exclusion of other interests. The time you spend in public se1vice (and [said Spong) I use the term "public service" in its broadest context to include much more than elected public office) wi ll contribute to your growth and your worth as a lawyer and an individual. Sooner or later most of us wonder whether what we are doing is meaningful. Does it have a point worth having? Being a lawyer can be much more than just something to do. It can be something to do that has a point worth having. It can be something to do that does matter.

Fall Gathering brings old friends together Since you received you r last issue of Richmond Law, the Law School Association has held its annual meeting and elected new officers and six new members to our board (see p. 18). Also at the annual meeting, the association bylaws were amended to, among other things, expand the board to acid representation for two important constituencies of the Law School Association: the Young Graduates Council and the Student Bar Association. While the mission of the Law School Association encompasses many things, its prima1y mission and function is to se1ve as a bridge between the various constituencies that make up the T.C. Williams community. The association is the only organization which spans, and has as its members: • grad uates who are established practitioners • young graduates just beginning to practice • facu lty and staff of the law school , and • cu rrent students. While several of these groups have organizations which serve them - bar associations, the Student Bar Association, the Young Graduates Council - the Law School Association is the only organization which se1ves them all. Accordingly, the association is uniquely positioned to function as an impo1tant vehicle by which contacts, expertise, advice, resources, news and fellowship are communicated and sha red. This winter, the board is coming together for a special

meeting to map out the agenda of the association over the next two years. We are exploring a number of exciting new initiatives. I expect a major focus of ou r agenda to be current and recent students of the law school and how we might work together to make their law school experience and their ent1y into the profession even better than ours. You wil l be hearing more about these initiatives in the coming months as we firm up plans. As we move ahead in 1997, I urge eve1y member to consider how he or she might become more involved with the association and the law school, and how the association might better se1ve its members. Each of us on the board would welcome your input and involvement and we encourage you to contact any of us with your questions and thoughts about the Law School Association and its activities.

Reminiscing was the order of the day at Fall Gathering in September. Among those who had a chance to visit were:

1 Jean Tarpley with Mildred "Bucky" Fletcher Slater, L'70

2 Former law school dean Dr. Tom Edmonds, now executive director of the Virginia State Bar, with several young alumni

When Ann Setien Gibbs majored in education as an undergraduate, she probably thought she'd end up teaching small children. Instead, her degree in education, plus her 1983 degree from TC. Williams, have been put to use in legal education. Gibbs graduated with highest honors from the University of Virginia in 1979. She ALUMNI PROFILE taught for a year in Chesterfield County, Va. , but a college roommate already had SEEKING interested her in law school. Gibbs graduTO HELP ated from TC. Williams in 1983 and LAW worked for a year at Browder, Russell, and Butcher. Morris STUDENTS "Practice wasn't my niche," Gibbs says, and she welcomed the opportunity to return to TC. Williams as assistant dea n in 1984. "I will forever be indebted to former dean Tom Edmonds for giving me my job here .... I just fell into the perfect thing for me. " "The perfect thing" involved recruiting new students, managing admissions, se1ving as a liaison to the student financial aid office, overseeing the law school's budget, counseling students and supervising personnel. When Gibbs became associate dean in 1993, her responsibilities grew to include oversight of student affairs. Gibbs also taught Lawyering Skills at TC. Williams from 1991 to 1997. On Feb. 3, Gibbs became associate dean for administration at Shepard Broad Law Center at Nova Southeastern University in Fott Lauderdale, Fla. Her new position is sin1ilar to the one she left at TC. Williams but also includes development. "Leaving [TC. Williams] was hard, harder than I thought it would be," says Gibbs. "The thing I'll remember about TC. Williams is the combination of people who worked there. " She says it was fulfilling to be at the school at a time that saw dramatic increases in applicants' LSAT scores, student body diversity and even in the size of the building. The additions and renovations in the mid-1980s "helped change the in1age of the school," Gibbs says. Gibbs' husband Tom, a project manager in construction, is excited about Florida's booming real estate market. Their daughters, Mackenzie and Jordan, are in elementa1y school and preschool respectively.

Tracy Taliaferro, l'96,

needed all his determination to get through law school and overcome serious liver disease at the same time. Taliaferro hadn't realized he was ill when he left his job as director of technical services at MetropoliALUMNI PROFILE tan Hospital and started at T.C. WillANEW iams. He knew he was CAREER, tired, and sometimes ANEW had difficulty studying, but he thoroughly enLNER joyed law school. He thought learning to fly would be a diversion and help him study. A routine flight physical in Februa1y 1995 showed an enlarged spleen, but it wasn't a concern until June, when in a 24-hour period Taliaferro turned noticeably yellow from jaundice. Referred to the Medical College of Virginia, he was hospitalized for eight days and learned he was indeed quite ill with liver disease. "They told me going back to law school was out of the question," Taliaferro says. "But I was determined to finish. The law school was very suppo1tive, and said if the doctors will let you come, we will support you. " He credits associate deans Clark Williams and Ann Gibbs, and professors Wade Benyhill and Kelley Ba1tges, with keeping him going. A sympathetic partner in the Youth Advocacy Clinic, oelle Shaw-Bell, L'96, also helped. "I loved eve1y minute of law school." By May 1996, he was in serious need of a liver transplant. He was tired, needing lots of sleep, but wasn't feeling sick. "I was determined that this wasn't a death sentence," he says. He continued to fly with instructors or other pilots, went to plays and stayed involved in the Prince George Emergency Crew. One August night he and girlfriend Debbie Mallo1y, L'97, had just been seated in a restau-

rant when Taliaferro was beeped: a new liver was available. Three hours later he was at MCV, and the next morning he had a new liver. His recove1y was remarkable. Even though the doctor realized in surgery that Taliaferro was in worse shape than he had thought, Taliaferro was walking by the second day and went home six days after surgery, far sooner than the typical month. His recove1y was so complete that doctors chose to forego the usual six-month checkup scheduled for February. "By the end of a year, my life will be as normal as anyone else's," he says, although medication will continue. His rapid recovery, willingness to refuse repetitive tests and ability to do some of his own health care "helped keep the costs down tremendously," he said. And costs were a concern - $46,000 still remains to be paid on his medical bills. Among groups that had done fund raisers for Taliaferro were his fellow students at T.C. Williams, who held a Casino Night in Februa1y 1996 that made several thousand dollars. An unexpected bonus from the event: it was there that he met his girlfriend, Debbie Mallo1y. Another Casino Night is planned for March 21 this year. Events sponsored by other groups have included a gospel conceit, blood drive, bake sale, car wash and a yard sale. And there are more to come. Those wishing to help Taliaferro may make a tax-deductible donation to: T.L. Taliaferro Transplant Fund, P.O. Box 36, Prince George, VA 23875. These days, Taliaferro is working as the executive officer of the Prince George County Emergency Crew and has just taken the February bar exam. Once he passes the bar, he looks fo1ward to working in health care law, in a social se1vice capacity. Taliaferro says he's living proof that organ transplants are wo1thwhile, and he'd like more people to make arrangements to donate their organs. "I waited 14 weeks at the top of the list for a liver, and that's too long." - Forrest Hughes
