Message from the Dean Dear alumni and friends,

Gates Hall bustled all summer with conferences and symposiums, but we missed the energy that only our talented and diverse student body can provide. Recently, I spoke to our new students during their orientation program, which now spans two weeks and includes a thorough introduction to the study of law and the skills and values of our profession. Thankfully, gone are the days of “look to your left, look to your right, only one of you will be here at the end of this year”! The excitement (and nervousness) in the room was palpable. I encouraged our students to immerse themselves in all that our university and law school offers them, and to use their time with us to explore their passions; to hone their skills of judgment, analysis, and leadership; and to develop a fierce commitment to ethics and excellence. I also urged them to remember why they came to law school, especially during the rigors of the first year, and to have the courage to add their own voices to law as well as to listen to the voices of others.

As I launch my third year as your dean, please know that I continue to be honored by the trust you have placed in me and excited by the opportunity before us. Our history is one of distinction, for which we should all be rightly proud. Even so, as UW celebrates 150 years, I am confident that our future will exceed even our own high expectations.

We are the law school our world needs us to be. Thank you for every way that you are part of making that so. Onward and upward!

This year, the University of Washington celebrates its 150th anniversary, as one of the top 20 universities in the world. The law school opened its doors 112 years ago — in 1899 — and continues to proudly contribute to UW’s tradition of excellence. We encourage you to view the UW 150th anniversary website (www.washington. edu/150) and to join in the celebration.

Each day I am grateful that you, our alumni and friends, use your passions, skills, and voices to advance law and justice. You are society’s ethical leaders in all areas of law, business, and public policy. Now more than ever, our world needs the skills and values that law-educated leaders bring to the table. We admire and appreciate all that you do across the diverse areas in which you work.

In this issue, we feature a sampling of our alumni who have emerged from their time in our Seattle classrooms to make a difference around the state, the nation, and the world. We also include our 2010-2011 Report to Donors and continue to be grateful for your generous support of our mission and programs.

As we begin the 2011-2012 school year, we welcome Michael K. Young as the new president of the University of Washington and as a new member of our law faculty. President Young is already an active member of our law school community. In July, he addressed our 2011 Intellectual Property Summer Institute; in September he met many of you at a welcome reception we hosted in his honor. His experience in our profession is both wide and deep, and his expertise in Japanese Law is a particular asset to our mission as Leaders for the Global Common Good.

Announcing Expanded Center for

Public Service Law UW Law has been active in Public Service for over 15 years, but the recent centralization of the Center for Public Service Law allows these efforts to be more efficiently implemented and tracked.

Michele Storms, Assistant Dean for Public Service & Executive Director, William H. Gates Public Service Law, says, “Our center acts as a hub for students, where they are educated and inspired about how to incorporate public service into their daily lives. By recognizing faculty and staff pro

bono work this year, we’ve been able to carry the public service notion to the whole community, rather than merely serving the students already interested in public service.”

After teaching in the clinical law program for eight years, and founding the Child Advocacy Clinic, Storms returned to her legal aid practice in 2001.

“I loved teaching, but I was largely interested in the public service component. The beauty of returning to the law school to run the Gates Program in 2006 was the opportunity to use the Gates Scholarship model — which is wonderful, but limited in only serving five students at a time — to reach all students who may be interested in public service. William Gates Sr. worked in the private sector, but he offered a tremendous amount of pro bono work. I wanted students to understand that they didn’t have to discard their social and environmental values and ideals if they chose to work in the private sector. When people

apply to law school they are full of powerful ideas about social justice. We don’t want them to lose that during their time here.”

Storms claims that with the support of Dean Testy, who advocates public service for lawyers, she was able to “stop talking about it and help make it a reality.” As part of their mission to “educate, empower and inspire all of our students, graduates and broader law school community to incorporate public service into their lives,” the Center for Public Service now offers a Pro Bono Honors Program that encourages, facilitates, and recognizes pro bono activity by all UW Law students; a Public Service Externship Program; the Moderate Means Program, which connects moderate income clients in need with attorneys willing to work for reduced fees; the Gates Public Service Law Program; Public Interest/Public Service Career and Professional Development

of focusing on rule of law and veterans’ issues.

He is also grateful to the guidance he was offered

by Neil Proto, an esteemed environmental attorney, to whom Storms introduced him.

“Michele invited me to an intimate roundtable with Professor Proto, which has ended up being one of my most valuable educational experiences,” Drummond says. “The discussion itself offered tremendous guidance on how the fields of public service and environmental law work. An added bonus was the relationship that formed between Neil and me where I felt comfortable texting and emailing him while I was working on my 20-page document — with 180 more pages of attachments — for the tunnel project. It served as a great reminder that a seemingly random experience could end up being instrumental in helping you achieve your goals.”

With the help of Storms and Listfjeld, Drummond was accepted for a clerkship with the Executive Office of the President in Washington, D.C., starting this fall. He will be working with the Council on Environmental Quality, which administers environmental policy for the Environmental Protection Agency and all federal agencies as well as developing and providing guidance on how to implement environmental mandates.

He shared his idea with Storms and says, “She gave me four people’s contact information on the spot. The first person I called is now my boss at the Northwest Justice Project’s Veterans Project.”

Flor says his internship with the Northwest Justice Project allows him to be of service while also contextualizing what he learns in class. He helps veterans access housing and employment opportunities and works with the state to adjust the veterans’ child support to a more realistic rate. “Military service and its effects are hard on families. For veteran non-custodial parents, the debt can become so large that they can’t pay it and then cut themselves off from their children.

This doesn’t benefit anyone,” Flor explains.

“We work with the veteran and the state to set payments at an income-appropriate rate so that he or she can meet their responsibilities and stay involved, which helps the veteran and the children.”

Flor says he has seen an expansion in the initiatives and ideas aimed at getting all law students interested in public service. “It shouldn’t merely be what a few of us do, but what we all do.

The privilege of being a lawyer includes the responsibility to give back.”

UW Law Announces

Cape Town Convention Academic Project l to r, Kyle Brown, Jeffrey Wool, Dean Kellye Testy, Professor Jon Eddy

Academic Project. The project is a joint undertaking whose purpose is to advance the academic study and assessment of the Convention on International Interests and Mobile Equipment (less formally known as the Cape Town Convention). The Convention is one of the most important and innovative international conventions ever to have been concluded in the field of transnational commercial law. It has already secured nearly 50 ratifications, including the United States, China, India, and Russia.

According to Jeffrey Wool, secretary general at Aviation Working Group, head of aerospace law and policy at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in London, and Executive Director of the project, the Convention is designed to “facilitate the financing of high-value mobile equipment including aircraft, railway rolling stock, and satellites, increasing the availability and reducing the cost of credit for these critically important assets. That core efficiency produces substantial macroeconomic gains, which, in turn, benefit society at large.

Examples include enhanced trade, employment, and acquisition of newer, environmentally-friendly transportation equipment.”

“The Convention,” Wool goes on to say, “more broadly is a best practices treaty designed to develop and harmonize international law in relevant fields including secured transactions, leasing and bankruptcy with important innovations in the fields of private international law and electronic commerce.”

Convention Academic Project to enhance the understanding and effective implementation of the treaty, and to advance its purpose. Wool will consult with the academic leads: Professor Jon Eddy at UW Law and Professor Roy Goode at Oxford.

The main activities of the project include the creation of a comprehensive digitized and searchable database of primary and secondary materials on the Convention and Protocols, including the preparatory work leading to their adoption and implementation in national law, a journal, conferences, teaching materials, and law and economics assessment. The database and journal are being undertaken under the joint auspices of UNIDROIT (the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law). All information is open source, free and available for the general good.

Professor Eddy emphasizes the far-reaching international influence of the Project and its importance to UW Law. “The Convention and the Aircraft Protocol will have a major impact on Asia, both economically and upon domestic legal systems,” he says. “China, with its rapidly growing aviation market, has implemented the treaty; India and Singapore, also both major aviation jurisdictions, are parties. Implementation of the treaty in China fundamentally changed important aspects of the Chinese law of personal property security. Later this year there will be a diplomatic conference in Berlin to develop the Space Assets Protocol to the Convention: China, India and Russia, all parties to the Convention, are major players in that category.

UW Law Professor Joel Ngugi Appointed as a Judge of the High Court of Kenya Associate Professor of Law Joel Ngugi was recently appointed a Judge of the High Court of Kenya. Under Kenya’s new Constitution, the High Court has unlimited original jurisdiction in criminal and civil matters and is the court of first instance on constitutional issues. The court also has supervisory powers over the subordinate courts.

Professor Ngugi, who is a Kenyan native, has been involved in the ongoing legal reforms in Kenya as a scholar writing on important issues facing the country, as an activist involved in human rights work, and as a lawyer. This judicial appointment, however, will allow Professor Ngugi to directly

civil and political rights (drawn, in part, from the United States) with innovative social, economic and cultural rights (inspired, in part, by the South African model),” Professor Ngugi explains. “I plan to utilize my comparative law experience to craft a constitutional jurisprudence that maximizes individual autonomy while ensuring reasonable existence and subsistence for all citizens as promised in the new constitution.”

Professor Ngugi is taking a leave of absence from UW to take up the appointment and plans to continue his involvement with UW by providing externships, independent studies, and international legal research opportunities for students who are interested in international, comparative, and human rights law. “The new constitution of Kenya directly incorporates international law as part of the law of Kenya, so UW Law students will get the opportunity to participate in research on international legal issues which might be relevant to the Kenyan context,” notes Professor Ngugi.

Professor Ngugi joined the law school faculty in 2004. His research interests include the role of law in economic development, the role of

governments in market regulation and wealth allocation, and legal reforms in transition and developing economies.

Prior to joining the faculty, Professor Ngugi practiced law with the Boston law firm of Foley Hoag, LLP, as a corporate and international litigation associate. He also practiced law with the Kenyan firm Kariuki Muigua & Company Advocates. Professor Ngugi has worked with the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and conducted research work for the Global Coalition for Africa/World Bank, Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research (HPCR) at Harvard University and at the Global Trade Watch Division of the Public Citizens, Inc. in Washington, D.C. At Harvard University, he was one of two recipients of the John Gallup Laylin Prize in International Law in 2002. At Harvard, his many fellowships and grants included the Clark Byse Fellowship (for academic distinction among graduate students) and the European Law Research Center Seminar Fellowship. Professor Ngugi was also awarded dissertation fellowship grants from the Institute for the Study of World Politics, Washington, D.C. and the MacArthurWeatherhead Center for International Affairs.

Joining the FBI was the logical choice for the UW School of Law grad, but the FBI was not hiring lawyers at the time. So, like many other young men and women, Mackler contacted his local army recruiter. There was only one problem – Mackler was 30 years old, much older than the other recruits. Mackler applied for an age waiver, finally entering the army on November 11, 2003.

Encouraged to attend officer candidate school, the former Public Interest Law Association (PILA) grant recipient, President of the Moot Court Honor Board, and Member of the Order of Barristers and Order of the Coif could have easily become a member of the JAG Corps. Instead, he chose to become a helicopter pilot. Mackler was the oldest member of his class, which primarily consisted of 18 to 20-year-olds, most of whom were recently out of high school.

The plan, rehearsed the previous day, was for all the companies in the 5th Battalion to form up at the staging area. We would then march together to the parade field and link with the rest of the division for the planned review. I met with Bravo Company and joined my co-workers in a mass formation. The First Sergeants proceeded to arrange everyone in the Battalion in size order.

I am about average height, and as a result, found myself standing in the center of the formation.

This is an ideal location for blending in. I listened, smiling to myself, as the Specialist next to me complained to the Sergeant next to her.

“All of my friends are short and not standing near me,” she said.

“Make some friends in this area,” the Sergeant suggested.

“Nah,” she said, inclining her head toward me.

“The only people around here are snobby aviators.”

“They have no reason to be snobby,” the Sergeant informed her. “They are not even required to have college diplomas anymore.”

I smiled but had to say something. Just loud enough for the two of them to hear I muttered, “I don’t need no fancy book learnin’ Sergeant.”

hostile areas from battlefields to busy roads.

Working through holidays and sometimes all night long, Mackler was part of a team that rescued fellow soldiers and transported dignitaries. He flew a “hero” mission to “pick up the body of a soldier killed in action for transport to an Air Force base for the final trip home.”

“We landed at the pick-up site,” Mackler recalls.

“The crews lined up on either side of the cargo door while the chaplain, his assistant, and two soldiers from Mortuary Affairs carefully loaded the flag-draped body bags into the aircraft.

We stood at attention and saluted in the dark.”

He had five heroes riding with him that night.

Mackler also flew aerial snap traffic control points (TCPs). “These involve loading the aircraft with infantry and a bomb sniffing dog and flying around looking for suspicious vehicles and people,” Mackler explains. “When something suspicious was spotted, we swooped down, dropped off the ground forces, and provided aerial security while they conducted the

Mackler remembers flying over beautiful mountainous areas with peaks that reached 10,000 feet and were dusted with snow. Not concerned about being shot, he flew the helicopter around the serpentine canyon walls, taking in the spectacular landscape. But most often he saw the more brutal parts of war.

“The oil refineries in Kirkuk in Northern Iraq suffered a serious attack creating a fire that lasted for days,” Mackler says. “The area had been ravaged by roadside bombs. Five soldiers were killed by a massive bomb. We flew one of the Colonels to the scene. The vehicle was still burning when we arrived.”

Working side by side in a combat zone bonds most soldiers. So does long nights in the barracks. At first, Mackler took a ribbing. Why in the world would a lawyer want to give up a lucrative practice? He must be a terrible lawyer.

ber when…

Remember when Judson Falknor was dean of the law school? John Davis, founder of Davis Wright Tremaine, does. Falknor was dean from 1936 to 1951, and Davis graduated in 1940. Now one of the law school’s oldest living graduates, Davis recalls his experience as if it were yesterday.

happened. We subscribed to Life magazine and there was an article on James McCauley Landis, who was named dean of Harvard Law School. The article said that no man could be a better model of fierce intellectual effort. That phrase grabbed me. It was exactly what I had wanted to pursue.

I had been working in banks up until then, and I was looking forward to law school. That article was the spark.

Q. You are also a double dawg with a B.A. from UW. What was your major as an undergraduate?

Q. Did you go to law school directly after graduating from UW? A. No, I didn’t go to law school right away. I stayed out one year because when I graduated college, the bank I had worked at part-time, University National Bank, had offered me a full-time job as a payroll teller. I made $75 a month, and that was a lot of money. I also took some of the banking courses they offered.

When I went to law school, I offered to work parttime at the bank to help on teacher paydays, when the line for the bank ran from the street to our tellers’ cages. I suggested that I work afternoons

I also remember that I had a good relationship with Warren Shattuck. He taught contracts. I remember he was interested in photography, and my wife, Ruth, and I would teach him a little about enlargements and the like.

Professor Sholley taught constitutional law.

Professor Sholley would say that for every court session he needed to add one week to what he had to tell us about the constitution. That was the only class I was ever in that the finishing bell rang so soon I could not believe it was more than 10 minutes. I was just enthralled with constitutional law.

I had taken seven straight quarters including the summer. Now I felt I was behind my classmates, but when I returned I became the article editor for the Law Review and the president of the Law School Student Body.

A. On the first day of law school Dean Falknor told us if we were in law school because we thought that law was a pathway to making money, we needed to be disabused of that idea. He told us, “If you are interested in money, pack your bags and go over to the business school. Take the right courses. The law is not right for you. But if you want to have a

Mr. Howe said, “You stay with us and we’ll take care of you.” Well, I didn’t really like that, because I wanted to become a partner some day. So I went back to Dean Falknor to ask his opinion. The dean didn’t think I would have a future there and suggested I try another firm. That firm did offer to make me a partner. But I realized I didn’t want to be a name at the end of line. So I decided to open my own law firm.

Q. What happened after the war?

A. John Riese, who was in the Navy — his eyes were okay — came back from the war. He had worked with me at Emory & Howe. We wanted to form a partnership so we went to talk to the dean.

Dean Falknor said that was a fine idea and we became partners with the dean’s blessing.

Less than three years later, Mr. Emory said ‘we need you two boys.’ So once again we went to see the dean. I thought he would say it was not a good idea. After all he had told us before that there was no future there but the dean said “Wait. That firm has changed but you need to become the

I had also nurtured notions of going to Yale to get a master’s degree so that I could teach law.

Instead, Dean Falknor offered me an opportunity to teach contracts. I taught contracts for three years. Then he asked me to teach the advanced secured transaction course, since by this time I had actually been doing these transactions for banks.

Dean Falknor also had me teach the ethics course with Harold Shefelman.

I enjoyed teaching. I realize that there is a lot of satisfaction when you see lights go on around the room. For my advanced secured transaction course, I brought in bankers to talk directly with my class so that the students got the feeling of what it was like to finance a business.

Books & Beyond

By Cheryl Nyberg

A c t L o c all y ; I n f l u e n c e G l o b all y

The Library is a place.

Law students still spend hours in the Library over the course of their law school careers.

They come to the Library to study, prepare for class, write papers, compare notes with other students, and confer with reference librarians on research strategies. They even browse books, like the hornbooks, nutshells, and study aids that publishers withhold from online legal services. Students enjoy the spacious study tables and carrels, numerous group study rooms, and the natural light streaming in the south-facing windows and the four glass crystals.

But the Library is not just a place, passively waiting for students and others to bring it to life. The Library is a service, or more accurately, a collection of services. And many of those services are provided to UW Law alumni, students, faculty, and others through the Internet. Whether you live in Seattle, practice in Snohomish, vacation in South Carolina, or travel to Spain, the Law Library strives to serve you.

For instance, the Library mails books to UW Law alumni through the Law Books on Demand program, lib.law.washington.edu/ services/alumni. An alum in Yakima requested and received Minding Your Own Business: The Solo and Small Firm Lawyer’s Guide to a Profitable Practice (2010). Drafting Tribal Laws: A Manual for Tribal Governments (1986) went to a UW Law grad in Olympia. Law Books on Demand was a major convenience for a Bremerton-based alum working on minor issues: Jail Bait (2004), Keeping Kids out of the System (2001), Rethinking Juvenile Justice (2008), Teen Legal Rights (2000), When Kids Get Arrested (2009).

30 30

The reference librarians offer legal research assistance to students, alumni, attorneys, and members of the public via the Ask Us email service, lib.law.washington.edu/ questions. Of the questions that come from people who are not affiliated with the University of Washington, more than half come from outside of the Seattle area.

The Library’s blog and website are popular around the country and overseas. Since Gallagher Blogs, gallagherlawlibrary.blogspot. com, began in 2009, about 18% of our readers have been located in Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, Russia, the Ukraine, Slovenia, China, and India (in order by number of visitors). In

June and July of this year, the Library website, lib.law.washington. edu, was visited by 1,500 users in Canada; 1,185 from the UK; 1,079 from India; 999 from Australia; and 867 from the Philippines. Rounding out this top ten list are Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, China, and Belgium. In the same two months, the website received visits from users in every U.S. state with the greatest number of visitors from California, New York, Texas, Florida, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Oregon, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. Approximately half of the U.S.-based traffic on the Gallagher Law Library website comes from states other than Washington.

The Library’s large collection of online legal research guides are intended for use by our law students, lib.law.washington.edu/ ref/guides. More than 125 guides help legal researchers identify the important print and online sources for doing research in administrative law, admiralty and maritime law, civil procedure, contracts, copyright, education law, environmental law, health law, human rights, immigration, jury verdicts, labor and employment law, legislative history, national security law, patent law, sports law, torts, treaties, the UCC, and other topics.

These guides are also frequently used by other legal researchers and members of the public. A librarian working at the Internal Revenue Service asked permission to adapt the Library’s Finding Guide for Federal Tax Materials, lib.law. washington.edu/ref/fedtaxcht, for

the IRS Library’s intranet page.

A reference librarian at the Law Library of Congress comments how frequently she relies on the Gallagher guides.

The graduates of the UW Law Librarianship Program, lib.law. washington.edu/lawlibrarianship—a partnership between the Gallagher Law Library and the Information School—populate law libraries in the United States and around the world. Since its inception in 1939, the program has graduated more than 200 librarians with J.D. degrees. Recent alums hold positions at the law school libraries of Boston, Catholic, Colorado, Columbia, Connecticut, Duke, Georgetown, Loyola (New Orleans), New Mexico, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Santa Clara, and Texas universities. Other grads work in federal and state court libraries and law firm libraries.

A 2002 graduate of the program is the Vietnam country director for the American Bar Association’s Rule of Law Initiative. Australia, India, Indonesia, Korea, the Philippine Islands, Singapore, Taiwan, and three Canadian provinces have or have had graduates of the toprated Law Librarianship Program.

The Gallagher Law Library is a wonderful place in which to study and conduct research when you are in Seattle. But the reach of the Library’s services and its influence are global.

The Library’s East Asian Law collection is internationally recognized as one of the best in the English-speaking world.

A former UW Law professor and eminent Japanese law specialist uses the Copy and Send service, lib.law.washington. edu/copy&send/copy&send, to obtain copies of Japanese court opinion. He also returns to the Library annually to conduct research because of the strength

of the collection. East Asian Law Department (EALD) coordinator Rob Britt answers questions from faculty, students, and alumni using print and online resources. He has given several presentations on Japanese legal research in this country and overseas.

Thanks to the work of Reba Turnquist and others who select material for the Library collection and the efforts of Judy Davis and the resource-sharing team, the Law Library satisfies requests from hundreds of libraries every year.

In February, the Library loaned a book on law and religion to the University of Glasglow. Librarians at the American University in Cairo and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology were able to assist their users with material they borrowed from Gallagher. In the last five years, the Library has loaned books to other libraries in virtually every U.S. state. Nearly 90% of the items we loaned last year went to libraries outside of Washington State.

Barcelos ’10 and Jen Marlow ’09 also visited Haramaya as part of the affiliated Three Degrees Project, and have plans to conduct a joint environmental law course with the College of Law, as well as conduct joint research into climate change issues. Haramaya is located in Oromia, one of the least developed parts of the country, bordering the Somali and Afar regions of Ethiopia.

Wentzell talks about his experience, “I originally went as part of a World Bank funded program to help develop graduate legal education in Ethiopia.

The chance to work in East Africa combined my interests in law, education, and development. I’d always wanted to live and work in Africa, and this provided the perfect opportunity. Developing a country’s legal education system is an integral part of developing their overall legal system. Ethiopia’s higher education system is quite nascent and as a consequence its legal education is young and still developing. Until quite recently there was only one law school in the entire country, and

His experience while completing his law degree was extensive and varied, as well. He had the opportunity to study European Union law in Rome, Italy through the UW Rome program. He also worked for the law firm DLA Piper as a Summer Associate in their Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia office, and he had the opportunity to work for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for the State of Western Australia in Perth, Australia.

Not all his experiences while in law school were outside of North America, however. Wentzell was employed as a Public Defender in the Tulalip Tribal Court as part of the Tribal Court Clinic.

During his first year of law school Wentzell also helped develop an online media company in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Wentzell describes his international legal experiences as integral to his transition and adaptation to the Ethiopian legal system. “I couldn’t have adapted so well to life in Ethiopia if it weren’t for my international background and the opportunities UW provided for me while in law school.”

As an alumna of the UW School of Law, Bendich sits on the Law School Foundation Board, the Law School Advancement Committee, and at the request of Dean Joe Knight was a member of the Strategic Planning Committee. Bendich also helped initiate the Law Firm Annual Challenge at the request of Norm Maleng and she serves as the Law School’s representative on the UW Foundation Board.

Bendich and her husband Arnie recently announced a $75,000 challenge to inspire giving to scholarships. Why? ”The need today is overwhelming,” she says. When Bendich went to the University of Washington School of Law, tuition was $600 a year.

“At current tuition rates, neither I nor my partners could ever have afforded to go to law school. We believe these students deserve an opportunity to go to the UW Law School and receive the excellent education we did.”
