Deborah & Nigel Telman (’93)

Dear Alumni and Friends,

As you read through this new edition of

The Record you may notice some changes have taken place. We’ve

redesigned the look and feel of the magazine to make it consistent

with our other publications. We’ve received very positive feedback

on our new Web site, catalogue and brochures and hope you like the

new format of the magazine.

In this issue, we invite you to explore the steadily expanding BU

Law community. A global marketplace has created strong interest

in international law among students. With the addition of our new

exchange program at the National University of Singapore, we now

have 12 study abroad options. This summer, 24 of our students either

worked abroad or worked on international issues in the United

States. We also have a growing worldwide network of BU Law

alumni as well as faculty members with international law expertise.

In the following pages, we profi le just some

of our alumni and faculty members working internationally or with

expertise in transnational practice. We also profi le John

Riccardi (’91), our assistant dean for Graduate

and International Programs, who oversees our

American Law program for foreign lawyers and

our study abroad programs.

Our cover story features Deborah Hardy

Telman (’93) and Nigel Telman (’93),

a couple who met at BU Law and built

successful careers in Chicago. Deborah is an

assistant corporate secretary and counsel for

The Boeing Company, which employs 150,000

people across the U.S. and in 70 countries. Nigel

is a partner at Sidley Austin LLP, one of

the world’s largest law fi rms with 16

offi ces on four continents. Both

are active in the Chicago

community.

BU Law is clearly recognized

as a top tier school in legal

circles, both nationally and

internationally. This year the

School moved up in the US

News & World Report survey

to #20 out of 184 accredited law schools and placed in the top ten in

health, tax and intellectual property law. Our reputation is attributable

to a highly talented student body, accomplished alumni and a faculty

that continues to receive accolades for teaching and scholarship.

As you may know, over the years, we have substantially dropped

our class size—from a high of 450 to 269 last fall and an average of

275 going forward. While that means the University has given up

a signifi cant amount of tuition income, our students benefi t from a

richer educational experience with more opportunity for interaction

and attention from the faculty. The decrease in class size has also

meant an increase in our entering students’ qualifi cations. The fall

2006 entering class had a median GPA of 3.68 and median LSAT

score of 165 (93rd percentile). As we go to print, this year’s entering

class looks very similar.

Please keep BU Law students in mind when you’re interviewing for

positions at your fi rms, agencies or corporations and share the good

news about the high quality of BU Law with your colleagues in the

legal profession. Your support for BU Law is critical to building and

maintaining our national reputation.

Many of the extraordinary faculty that you remember are still

teaching with us. At the same time, we recognize the need

to invigorate the faculty with new members who share our

commitment to excellence in teaching and scholarship. We are

very pleased to announce the addition of four new faculty members

who will join us in the fall: Professor James E. Fleming of

Fordham University, Professor Linda C. McClain of Hofstra

University; Associate Professor Kevin Outterson of West

Virginia University College of Law; and Clinical Associate

Professor Sean J. Kealy, former assistant to Massachusetts

Senator Cynthia Creem (’66). We invite you to learn more

about them later in this issue.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions for stories to

include in future editions of The Record and in the BU Law

Alumni e-newsletter. You may contact us directly by phone at

617.353.3118 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Please also check our Web site at www.bu.edu/law for the

latest information on events, the School and alumni

gatherings.

Thank you for your continued support; we

look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Maureen A. O’Rourke, Dean

4 The Telmans: Chicago’s Rising Stars

’93’s Deb and Nigel Telman Are Chicago’s Rising Stars

Deborah Telman practices corporate law in-

house as counsel at The Boeing Company in

Chicago, handling domestic and international

legal issues related to the aerospace giant’s

mergers and acquisitions. Her superiors love

her for her ability to inspire genuine team

spirit and solicit top-notch work from the

attorneys she leads. Nigel serves as a partner

at the venerable Sidley Austin international

law firm. His practice involves, among other

things, defending and counseling clients in

employment-related disputes. His colleagues

and clients are continually impressed by his

strong litigation skills as well as his practical,

business-oriented advice. At night, on

weekends and during countless Blackberry

and e-mail moments in between, the two

hold down an even more important job:

raising their eight-year-old twin sons Nigel II

and Nicholas.

No one who knew Deborah and Nigel

while at Boston University is surprised by

their success. “They exuded the kind of

steady confidence that made me sure I’d see

their names in lights someday,” says Fran

Miller, (’65) a favorite former professor.

He’s the reserved one. She’s the talker. Together, they’re the complementary dynamic

duo who made their mark on Boston University School of Law as dedicated officers

in the Black Law Students’ Association (BLSA) in the early 1990’s. Since graduating

in 1993, Deborah and Nigel Telman have continued to shine in the legal profession,

earning a reputation as individuals committed to excellence, integrity and the

advancement of women and minorities in the legal profession.

4 | The Record | Fall 2007

As two of only a handful of black students at

the school in the early 1990’s, they met at a

law school party during their first year and

soon discovered they had lived parallel lives.

They grew up only one town away from

each other on Long Island—Deborah in

Uniondale, and Nigel in Hempstead. They

later discovered that Deborah attended her

high school prom with Nigel’s best friend,

and at Penn, she pledged Alpha Kappa

Alpha—the sister sorority to Nigel’s Alpha

Phi Alpha at Cornell. Before coming to law

school, they both worked on Wall Street as

analysts, Deborah for Morgan Stanley and

Nigel for J.P. Morgan.

The two also benefited from supportive

upbringings in which race was never seen

as an obstacle. As a child, Nigel lived first

in London, and then in his parents’ native

Guyana, where it was routine for people

of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds to

hold positions of leadership and power. “As

a result of that exposure, I placed a high

value on diversity and understood that I

could accomplish anything in life with hard

work,” Nigel says. As for Deborah, having a

family that stressed “the value of hard work,

God, education and pride in being African

American,” she felt free to run with her

natural gifts.

It wasn’t until their second year in law school,

however, that the two paired up—at first

only as moot court partners for the Frederick

Douglass competition that fall. A dynamic

team, they won Best Respondent’s Brief and

Best Overall Brief nationally. Nigel took best

oralist nationally, and Deborah did the same

for the Northeast region. By the holidays,

they were meeting over break on Long Island,

talking about more than the finer points of the

law. “Deborah was very smart,” says Nigel.

“She had leadership skills I admired. She

was fun. We could talk for hours.” Echoes

Deborah: “Nigel was intelligent and thoughtful

before he spoke. I loved that rigor. He was also

charming and funny.”

By their third year, they were revitalizing

BLSA at the School, Deb serving as

president, and Nigel serving as vice

president. Deborah helped improve

relationships between black students

and alumni by resurrecting the annual

BLSA dinner, inviting back black alumni

to reconnect with the School. The pair

also convinced the School to make

the Frederick Douglass Competition

an officially sanctioned Moot Court

Team. Nigel sat on BU Law’s admissions

committee, which gave him the

opportunity to advise the admissions

director on the significant value increased

diversity would have on the overall law

school experience.

Along the way, the pair became known as

“Mr. and Mrs. BU.” To make it official,

in their third year, Nigel proposed to

Deborah in front of a table full of fellow

BU Law students they were coaching

as the School’s official team at that

year’s Frederick Douglass Moot Court

competition. A year-and-a-half later, they

married.

After graduating, the couple headed for

Chicago, Nigel to Freeborn & Peters LLP, and

Deborah at first to Hopkins & Sutter. Nigel

gained experience in securities litigation and

then employment litigation, and made partner

in 2000. Deborah found her niche after moving

to Winston & Strawn LLP in 1996, where she

represented high-profile clients on mergers and

acquisitions and other business transactions. She

made partner in 2001.

In 2002, both Telmans held hands and

jumped, Nigel to Sidley Austin, and

Deborah to Boeing. “I decided to go

“Their personalities,” says Donald Prophete (’92), “simply will not let them deviate from

doing what is right.”

in-house because it was an opportunity

to work for a dynamic, interesting

multinational with lots of complex issues,”

Deborah says. Nigel’s practice at Sidley

allows him not only to protect the firm’s

Fortune 500 clients against claims of sexual

harassment and race discrimination, but

also to help clients institute proactive

policies and procedures that can reduce the

risk of litigation.

“Nigel and Deb are well known for their

integrity,” says Donald Prophete (’92),

a friend since their BU days, managing

partner of Ogletree Deakins’ Kansas City

office and former in-house counsel for

Sprint, where he hired Nigel to handle

several high-profile law suits. “Their

personalities,” he says admiringly, “simply

will not let them deviate from doing what

is right.”

The couple sees their respective jobs as

platforms not only for doing what is in the

best interests of their clients, but also for

making an impact on increasing diversity

in the legal profession, a theme that has

continued in their lives and work since

BU. Nigel currently sits on the board of

the Chicago Committee on Minorities in

Large Law Firms, an organization which

Deborah chaired a few years ago when

she was with Winston & Strawn. Nigel

mentors young lawyers of color both in

and outside of his firm.

For Deborah, diversity is a value that

runs throughout her international legal

work. “At Boeing, I ensure that we don’t

overlook the cultural norms while working

internationally. We always pay attention

to cultural sensitivities, so that we’re

considered a good company to have in any

country,” Deb also adds. “As an in-house

lawyer, I emphasize the need to bring

women and minorities to Boeing’s deals.

When we start a new project, my outside

counsel finds me a diverse team and

makes sure those attorneys of color have a

meaningful role in the transaction.”

Outside of work, Nigel was appointed by

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley to serve

on the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for

Planning’s Executive Committee, which

gives him a hand in land and transportation

planning for the greater Chicago region.

“The mayor chose Nigel because of his

reputation for creative thinking and his

desire to contribute to his community,”

says Rita Athas, the mayor’s deputy

chief of staff for external affairs. Deborah

was recently named one of Chicago’s

“40 Under 40” by a local publication,

which identifies young leaders making a

difference in Chicago business.

The Telman household is understandably

a busy one. Pillow talk sometimes revolves

around Deborah’s “insider perspective”

on how Nigel can better serve his clients’

needs, or Nigel’s suggestions on which

new young lawyer Boeing should consider

hiring. The two are also hands-on parents,

with Nigel occasionally spending lunch

breaks with his boys at their nearby school,

and Deborah joining them for cello

lessons.

Deborah’s good friend Adrienne Pitts

(’95), who is also one of Nigel’s partners

at Sidley, says fondly of the Telmans,

“They’re a power couple who will no

doubt have increasingly visible roles. For

Deb and Nigel, the sky’s the limit.”

Featuring a more “people-focused” design and incorporating elements of the new branding campaign, BU Law recently launched its redesigned Web site.

Viewers familiar with the former site will notice the color theme has changed from purple to University red and white, which mirrors the School’s publications in design and tone. Additionally, pages now feature an audience-specific navigational structure, which gives alumni, faculty, current and prospective students access to sections of the Web site designed for them.

Utilizing photographs, quotes and feature stories, the design has taken on a more personal approach, including “Take Note” features, updated weekly on the law school’s home pages, which highlight the newsworthy accomplishments of the School, faculty and alumni. Features include alumni achievements such as promotions and publications, student victories and accomplishments (for example, our Moot Court team’s winning the Sutherland Cup) and noteworthy school news.

Technological advances on the site include a “multimedia” section, which features audio and video footage from past events; Flash elements, such as the study abroad page’s interactive map; and a “content management system” which feeds the School’s daily news and events to the site’s calendars.

The site’s most recent addition is a five-minute video featuring current students on the “Admitted Students” page. In the video, students describe why they chose BU Law, highlighting the strength of the School’s faculty, curriculum, community and the Boston environment.

We invite you to explore your section of the new Web site at www.bu.edu/law/alumni/.

Redesigning BU Law Online


“At Boeing, we always pay attention to cultural sensitivities, so that we’re

considered a good company to have in any country.”


Continuing their support of BU Law 50 plus years after graduating,

the members of the Golden Circle have

remained an enthusiastic part of the law

school community. These alumni are

celebrating their half-century anniversaries

by gathering for an event established

two years ago: the annual Golden Circle

Reunion Dinner. Last year, the Golden

Circle Fund was proposed by alumnus

Bill Tyler (’51), who coordinated the 55th

anniversary dinner for his class. The Fund’s

initial appeal proved to be most gratifying,

with generous classmates together

contributing over $100,000 in gifts and

pledges.

The purpose of the Golden Circle Fund

is to create a permanent law school

endowment from which the Dean may

make annual discretionary distributions

for scholarship support and faculty

enrichment. It is intended that the Fund

will be augmented each year by gifts from

each class as it reaches its 50 year mark.

To qualify as a Golden Circle Funder, an

alumnus will commit to an aggregate gift

of $100 for each year since law school

graduation. Because the Golden Circle is

limited to alumni who graduated at least

50 years ago, the suggested contribution

is $5,000. There is also a special class

of “Superfunders” for gifts of $10,000

and above.

According to Tyler, joining this

special company of supporters is a way

to recognize and reward BU Law’s

distinguished leadership and academic

excellence. “Those of us who have

enjoyed long and satisfying careers in law

or business have reason to be grateful to

the School for the education we received,”

said Tyler.

Arriving in Boston in 1875 via steamer, Takeo Kikuchi was the first Japanese graduate of Boston University School of Law. Returning to his native Japan five years later, Kikuchi went on to have a distinguished career at the Ministry of Justice in Tokyo, and was one of the 18 founders of Chuo University where he served as its first president. His ties to Boston University School of Law remained steadfast throughout his life.

Q&A

Dr. Robert A. Brown, distinguished teacher, researcher, administrator and educational innovator, became the 10th president of Boston University on September 1, 2005. Dr. Brown was the provost of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. The Record asked Dr. Brown about his experience at BU so far as well as his thoughts on the University and the School of Law.

Q: What is your assessment of the

University and law school as you approach

two full years in office?

Boston University is one of the most

important private research universities

in America. It has a great mission of

undergraduate, graduate and professional

education. Furthermore, both students

and faculty maintain a tradition of serious

knowledge creation and thoughtful

engagement with the community and the

world. The law school is one of the jewels

of the University with a marvelous faculty, a

great tradition of excellence in education and

an intelligent student body.

Q: What goals do you have for both the

University and the law school?

My goal is to help make Boston University, as

a whole, a truly great university by focusing

our energy on strengthening the quality and

impact of our most important programs,

increasing the resources for our faculty

and fostering new, innovative teaching

and research programs across our schools

and colleges. Our goal for the law school,

specifically, is to be regularly ranked in the

top 20 law schools in the country.

Q: What challenges do you see ahead?

The biggest challenges facing Boston

University are all related to attracting the

best students and faculty to the University.

There are many things we have to do to

focus on these goals. For our undergraduate

students our challenges hinge on keeping

Boston University accessible to the very

best students, regardless of economic

background, and on creating a vibrant

campus community. For the law school our

biggest challenge revolves around renewing

and expanding the facilities for the School

in keeping with the stature of the law school

today and in the future.

Q: You’ve talked about uniting the schools

of the University. How do you see this

happening?

Although the quality and reputation of our

individual disciplines and faculties are

the foundation of the excellence of the

University, we have enormous potential for

new, innovative collaborations. The Faculty

and Administration Task Force on Strategic

Planning identified collaboration across our

schools and colleges as one of the most

important assets of the University. The

majority of today’s societal challenges require

these interdisciplinary collaborations; Boston

University is very well positioned to have

significant impact, through both education

and research. I hope all our schools and

colleges will look for these opportunities

wherever they arise.


withPresident Bob Brown

Q: What kind of international vision do you

have for the University in our increasingly

globalized world?

Like all of our economy, higher education

today is a global business. Although Boston

University has long been a major international

institution, we must aggressively work to

maintain this position of leadership. We must

continue to prepare our students to live and

work in the global economy, through both our

programs in Boston and through opportunities

to intern and study abroad. We also must

expand the University’s global presence to

better serve our students and to educate new

partners from other regions of the world.

Q: As in any university, there is always the

challenge of creating a sense of community

amongst graduate school alumni. As part of

an effort to unite these alumni, you’ve been

meeting with them in various parts of the

country to gain feedback. What have you

heard?

Much of our effort over the last two years

has gone into improving the University’s

communication with students on campus

and with our almost 260,000 alumni. There

is no magic bullet for accomplishing this

goal, as the experiences of alumni at the

University vary dramatically depending

on when and how they attended BU. We

constantly communicate to our alumni that

Boston University remains one of the best

private urban universities in America.

We ask them to reconnect, either to the

University or to their school or college. My

sense is that our alumni are coming back, and

we have some positive signs. For example, this

winter we sent out a survey aimed at producing

a new alumni directory. We expected

approximately 25,000 responses, similar to

what we received in the last survey in 1999.

We closed off the survey in April with over

95,000 responses! This is a very good sign of

alumni interest in the University, and we expect

it to only grow in the future.


Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly

Chosen by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly as Lawyers of the Year for 2006, the following BU Law alumni were honored for their integrity, professionalism and drive while representing “what lawyering is all about.” We congratulate the following award recipients:

Daniel Manning (’73), litigation director of Greater Boston Legal Services, tackled the MBTA’s outdated system, which often prevented passengers with disabilities from using public transportation. By 2006, a $310 million settlement was reached and will be used to upgrade the MBTA’s system.

Samuel Perkins (’76), partner at Brody, Hardoon, Perkins & Keston, succeeded in convincing Wal-Mart to stock the emergency contraception pill in stores nation-wide.

David A. Bunis (’87), partner at Dwyer & Collora LLP, practices complex commercial litigation. Throughout 2006, Bunis successfully secured rulings in two separate cases that could alter the business law landscape considerably.

Ellyn Lazar-Moore (’93), who works in the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office, argued a number of cases before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, including a motor-vehicle homicide appeal in which the defendant argued that the victim’s choice to be removed from a life-saving machine—not the car’s collision—was the cause of death. Lazar-Moore successfully convinced the court otherwise.

Wendell Taylor (’95) earned the “Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly Diversity Heroes” award, given to those diverse in race, ethnicity and sexual orientation, who are heroic in their efforts to overcome discrimination while advancing in their profession.

Taylor, a corporate lawyer at WilmerHale, grew up in 1970’s Boston, when busing was used to achieve racial integration. Today, he gives back to the same community by annually recruiting attorneys of color, mentoring high school summer interns and serving as co-chairman of WilmerHale’s Committee on Diversity.

In addition, two BU Law alumni were named “In-House Leaders in the Law.” Honorees demonstrate innovative and practical business and legal skills, either as general counsels or as staff attorneys.

Susan Alexander (’81), general counsel and corporate secretary at Biogen Idec, also serves on BU Law’s Alumni Executive Committee, The Boston University School of Management Advisory Panel, and other organizations.

Edward Goddard (’90), national director of labor relations at Kindred Healthcare, works for the nation’s second largest nursing home operator with 53,000 employees in 40 states. Goddard handles labor disputes, collective bargaining negotiations and employee training activities.

At the core of any law school is its faculty.BU Law professors are nationally acclaimed for their teaching skills as well as their scholarship and are frequently consulted for advice by both the public and private sectors. We are proud to welcome the following four members to our faculty: James E. Fleming, Linda C. McClain, Kevin Outterson and Sean J. Kealy.

James E. Fleming Before joining BU Law’s

faculty in Fall 2007, James E. Fleming was the

Leonard F. Manning Distinguished Professor of Law

at Fordham University School of Law. He writes

on constitutional law and constitutional theory and

teaches courses in Constitutional Law, Constitutional

Theory, Torts and Remedies. He is the author

of Securing Constitutional Democracy: The Case of

Autonomy (University of Chicago Press, 2006),

co-author of Constitutional Interpretation: The Basic

Questions (Oxford University Press, 2007) (with

Sotirios A. Barber of University of Notre Dame),

and co-author of American Constitutional Interpretation

(3d ed., Foundation Press, 2003) (with Walter F.

Murphy and Stephen Macedo of Princeton University

and Sotirios A. Barber). He is working on a new

book, Rights and Irresponsibility (with Linda C.

McClain), and completing the fourth edition of

his co-authored casebook on constitutional law.

He also has published numerous articles in law

reviews and books, and he served for a number

of years as the faculty moderator of Fordham

Law Review.

Professor Fleming received his J.D. magna cum

laude from Harvard Law School and a Ph.D. in

Politics from Princeton University. During the

1999-2000 year, he was a Faculty Fellow in Ethics

at the Harvard University Center for Ethics and

the Professions. He has organized or co-organized

many conferences in constitutional theory, including

Fidelity in Constitutional Theory, The Constitution

and the Good Society, Rawls and the Law and A New

Constitutional Order? as well as Theories of Constitutional

Self-Government, Integrity in the Law and Theories of

Taking the Constitution Seriously Outside the Courts, all

published in Fordham Law Review. He also co-edited

(with Linda C. McClain) a symposium on Legal and

Constitutional Implications of the Calls to Revive Civil

Society, published in Chicago-Kent Law Review. In May

2007, Fordham Law Review published a symposium

on Minimalism versus Perfectionism in Constitutional

Theory, focusing on Professor Fleming’s book, Securing

Constitutional Democracy, along with Cass R. Sunstein’s

book, Radicals in Robes.


Linda C. McClain Before joining BU Law, Linda C.

McClain was the Rivkin Radler Distinguished Professor of

Law at Hofstra Law School, where she was also co-director of

the Institute for the Study of Gender, Law, and Policy. Prior to

entering academia, she practiced litigation at Cravath, Swaine &

Moore LLP. A former faculty fellow at the Harvard University

executive committee of the Association of American Law Schools

Section on Family Law and is a member of the Council on

Contemporary Families. She is also on the advisory board of the

Georgetown Journal of Gender and Law and the Feminist Sexual

Ethics Project.

Known for her work in family law and feminist legal

theory, Professor McClain’s recent book, The Place of

Families: Fostering Capacity, Equality, and Responsibility

(Harvard University Press, 2006), offers a liberal

and feminist perspective on the relationship

between family life and the polity and explores a

number of contested issues including governmental

promotion of marriage, same-sex marriage, welfare

policy and constitutional rights

to reproductive freedom.

Professor McClain received her J.D. cum

laude from Georgetown University Law

Center and her LL.M. from New York

University School of Law.

Sean J. Kealy Clinical Associate Professor, Sean J. Kealy

graduated from Temple Law School in 1994. He was an assistant

attorney general of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from

1995-1999 where he worked on victim compensation claims and

prosecuted insurance fraud. From 1999-2007 he worked as legal

advisor to State Senator Cynthia Stone Creem (‘66) (D-Newton)

and counsel to the General Court’s Joint Committee on Criminal

Justice and the Joint Committee on Revenue. While working

for the Legislature, Professor Kealy had the opportunity to work

on many notable issues such as: the revised sex offender registry,

the creation of “buffer zones” around reproductive health clinics,

drunk driving legislation, modernizing corporate tax laws,

creating new tax credits to encourage economic development,

legalizing and encouraging stem cell research and ensuring equal

marriage rights.

Professor Kealy has taught criminal justice

at Massachusetts Bay Community College

and Suffolk University and has written law

review articles on a variety of topics dealing

with statutory changes to protect victims’

rights. He also co-edits a bi-monthly

newsletter on criminal law that is distributed

to prosecutors, members of law enforcement,

defense attorneys and academics. Professor

Kealy is the new director of our

Legislative Counsel Clinic.


Kevin Outterson Prior to joining the

faculty of BU Law, Kevin Outterson was associate

professor at West Virginia University College of

Law. His previous experience includes being an

income partner in the Tax and International groups

at McDermott Will & Emery and a capital partner

in the Health Law Group at Baker Donelson. He is

a graduate of the University of Cambridge (LL.M.)

and Northwestern University (B.S. and J.D.).

Professor Outterson teaches courses in health

care, business law and globalization. His research

work focuses on two areas: global pharmaceutical

markets and health disparities. His research

papers can be found at www.ssrn.com.

In 2005, Professor Outterson received the WVU

College of Law Outstanding Research award for

his article Pharmaceutical Arbitrage in the Yale Journal

of Health Policy, Law & Ethics. He received the

Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award from the WVU

Law Review in 2006 and the Professor of the Year

award at the College of Law in 2007. In 2004, he

was appointed by West Virginia’s Governor Wise to

the West Virginia Pharmaceutical Cost Management

Council, where he has worked to reduce the cost

of prescription drugs. He serves on the board of

Prescription Policy Choices and consults with

governments and NGOs concerning pharmaceutical

pricing and access to medicines.

“We’re at a critical crossroads

for the School and Boston

University, with respect to the

change of leadership,” Godfrey

explains. “Boston University

has two terrific new leaders—

Dean Maureen O’Rourke and

President Robert Brown—who

deserve the support of faculty

and alumni.”

When deciding upon the chair’s

namesake, Godfrey says Professor

Kent (’49) was “the obvious

choice. He’s a wonderful

professor and a terrific lawyer.”

As a 1L, Godfrey took Civil

Procedure with Kent. “He

epitomizes what great professors

can offer their students. They

challenge, teach, educate and

in the end they become models

for how their students should

act within the profession. Kent

reflected the best the profession

had to offer,” Godfrey says.

“He was a teacher’s teacher.

We speak of lawyer’s lawyers—

they don’t seek publicity, they

get the job done and have a

deft skill set,” Godfrey explains.

“With Kent, I never sensed an

ego or a publicity hound but

rather someone interested in

becoming a master of his craft:

the teaching of law.”

Godfrey identifies Professor

Kent as one of many excellent

educators he encountered at

BU Law. “I had the experience

of terrific professors with very

different styles and approaches

and very different analytical skill

sets. I thought it was a strength

of the faculty that there was not

a set way of analyzing a legal

problem,” he says.

A recently elected member to

the Boston University Board

of Trustees, Godfrey has a

longstanding involvement

with the Boston University

community. “I think it is

important for alumni who have

had some degree of success

in their professional careers

to recognize the faculty who

contributed to and enabled

alumni to have such success,”

he says.

As a BU Law student, Godfrey

served on the BU Law Review

for two years, including 3L

work as a note editor. He joined

Kirkland & Ellis after graduation

and began his active alumni

involvement with the School

nearly two decades ago, in 1989,

when he helped organize BU

Law’s Board of Visitors. In 1998,

Godfrey received the prestigious

Silver Shingle Award. Then, in

2005, Godfrey was asked to chair

the Law Fund.

Godfrey attributes his

involvement to being raised

in a family of lawyers and

educators. “There was a

focus growing up on the

importance of education and

teachers,” he says. “Education

is the avenue toward a better

understanding of society and

the appropriate course you

take within society.” Alumni

involvement provides Godfrey

an opportunity to interact

with faculty and, through the

Law Fund, “attract and retain

faculty of the highest caliber,”

he says.

Godfrey hopes the Kent Chair

encourages other alumni to

endow chaired professorships

for the School. His own gift

was inspired by the chaired

professorship recently endowed

by Philip S. Beck (’76), who

recruited Godfrey to Kirkland &

Ellis in 1979. “[Endowed chairs]

are good for faculty, for the

school and for the relationship

between the profession and

professors,” Godfrey says.

Richard Godfrey (’79) Establishes the Robert B. Kent Chaired Professorship in Civil Procedure at BU Law

Richard Godfrey (‘79), BU Law graduate and partner at Chicago’s Kirkland & Ellis LLP, recently established the Robert B. Kent Professorship Fund, a permanently endowed chair which will provide salary and research support to a full-time BU Law faculty member. The chair, says Godfrey, seeks to recognize the “strength of the law school, which is its faculty.”

While some students spent spring

break sunning themselves on the

beaches of Mexico, one group of

BU Law students chose to travel to

a different Gulf Coast destination:

New Orleans. The group of 25 spent

their break doing pro bono work for

Hurricane Katrina victims through the

Student Hurricane Network (SHN), a

national law school association created

to fill gaps in the justice systems in

communities affected by Katrina.

During their stay, the SHN BU Law

chapter—led by Kendra Kinscherf

(’07) and Jon Anderman (’08)—

addressed legal issues including housing

discrimination and environmental issues.

“It is impossible to even begin to

describe the amount of work that still

needs to be done in New Orleans,”

said Anderman. Kinscherf added, “Law

students have the skills to help people

not only with legal work, but also

to help bring more awareness to the

current situation.”

Anderman and Kinscherf surveyed

residents of FEMA trailers in the worst

hit areas of New Orleans, including

the Ninth Ward, to understand their

pressing legal needs. The students

said residents were grateful they had

not been forgotten. “I think it was

incredibly important to show the

victims of the storm that we still have

them in our hearts and minds, we are

willing to listen to all their concerns

and we are actively pursuing their issues

in order to enact some sort of change,”

said Anderman.

Two Years After the Storm…

BU Students Aid in Legal Cleanup


After seeing the destruction still

present in New Orleans after 19

months, the students realized how

much help was truly needed. “Many

people are still waiting to receive the

funds promised to them in order to

rebuild their homes,” said Kinscherf.

Most issues facing residents have been

unaddressed because so few lawyers

remain. “Since the storm, many

attorneys have not moved back to

the city. There is such a backlog of

cases that the attorneys still in the city

have little hope of resolving many of

them,” she added.

Despite hearing negative accounts

of the aftermath, the students felt

empowered by the indomitable spirits

of those affected by the disaster.

Kinscherf recalled a woman she

met who was living in a trailer in

unhealthy conditions with 11 people.

Although she worked full-time, she

was unable to afford an apartment,

which is the case for many renters

in the area. “Landlords either are no

longer rebuilding or have raised rents

to levels at least three times more than

before the hurricane,” said Kinscherf.

The woman also suffered health issues

but was unable to find her doctor. In

spite of her hardships, she remained

hopeful that the spirit of New Orleans

would be restored.

“People can only hit so many walls

before they finally give up,” added

Anderman. “The resiliency of the

residents of New Orleans to continue

trying now, after countless failures,

is nothing short of amazing and a

testament to human will.”

The philanthropic students of

SHN did not stop their efforts after

returning to Boston. One segment

of their program is Matchmakers for

Justice (M4J), which pairs hurricane

victims with law students across the

country. The four students at BU

Law involved in M4J met with their

clients in New Orleans and continue

to address their legal issues.

The students believe that efforts to reach

out to victims are more relevant than

ever; and several planned to return this

summer to continue helping. “[This

experience] was life-changing for many

of the students. And I am certain that

all of these terrifically talented students

will incorporate public service into their

legal careers, ensuring that compassion

and justice remain central tenets of

our profession,” said Maura Kelly, the

director of the Career Development

Office who helped organize the BU

Law chapter of SHN and accompanied

the students to New Orleans.

Although Anderman does not

underestimate the scope of the Katrina

crisis, he thinks student efforts are

a good way to start: “I have high

expectations for what BU Law can

accomplish,” he said.


National Health Law Professors ConferenceConceived over 25 years ago at BU Law, the NHLP Conference is intended for professionals who teach law or bioethics and law, medicine, public health, health care administration, pharmacy, nursing and dentistry. Co-sponsored each year by a host law school and the American Society of Law, Medicine and Ethics, the conference draws professors from around the country to listen to presentations, report on works-in-progress and exchange ideas about medical and legal issues. This year’s conference, held on May 31st-June 2nd, co-sponsored by BU Law, included sessions on: Health Care Reform, Teaching Health Law, Global Health Law and Innovation Meets Patient Rights. The forum included breakout sessions such as Patient Safety, Quality of Care, Malpractice, Regulating the Health Care Industry and Technology Development and Regulation.

Pike ConferenceIn March, the annual Pike Conference was held, titled “The Nuremberg Doctors’ Trial: 60 Years Later.” The conference examined the impact of the Nuremberg Code on international and U.S. law regarding human experimentation and the role of physicians in euthanasia of people with disabilities. The role of military physicians in the “global war on terror,” particularly in prison settings, was also examined. Edmund Pellegrino, Chairman of the President’s Council on Bioethics, delivered the keynote speech, “On Human Dignity.”

It’s no secret we’re living in a digital world. With over

185 million registered users and a current ranking as

the most visited Web site on the Internet, MySpace is

far and away the largest global online community on

the planet. BU Law alumnus Hemanshu Nigam (’90)

has the responsibility of making this Internet world a

safe one.

“When something explodes the

way MySpace has, whatever

happens in the real world

will eventually happen in the

online one,” Nigam says. “Our

responsibility is to find a way to

make that world as secure as the

one we walk around in.”

Appointed chief security officer

in 2006 of MySpace.com, Nigam heads a 200 person

task force that oversees safety, education and privacy

programs for the Web site, and also handles all law

enforcement affairs. And the duty of safeguarding

young users is no simple task, considering the sheer

size of MySpace. “There’s no precedent for policing

the Internet; we’re building one,” admits Nigam.

Nigam came to the position with years of experience

protecting minors from exploitation and abuse, not

only in the virtual world, but also in the physical

one. From his first internship with Boston’s District

Attorney’s Office where he was assigned to the special

case unit, handling rape cases, Nigam realized his

future would involve helping those most in need. “It

was touching, empowering. All I could think was that

this is exactly the kind of work I want to be doing,”

said Nigam. “Now, I get to come to work everyday

and feel that I’m doing exactly

the right thing.”

Cutting his teeth in Los

Angeles County as a prosecutor

who busted gangs and sexual

predators, Nigam also worked

as a federal prosecutor in

Washington, D.C., specializing

in child-pornography, child-

predator and child-trafficking

cases. One of the first to focus on Internet cases, Nigam

had a front row seat on how society was adapting to the

growing cyber world.

“Technology was changing at lightning speed but the

government could move only so fast, and so it was an

interesting dichotomy to experience,” said Nigam. “I

realized I wanted to focus on Internet and child crime

cases, to show people that the world we live in now

may be a different one, but the worries and lessons

are exactly the same.”

PROTECTING the Cyber Social Scene Hemanshu Nigam (’90) is Keeping Watch Over MySpace


>

Nigam is eager to talk about those lessons. After joining

Microsoft in 2002 to lead many of the company’s child

safety and security efforts, Nigam was more focused than

ever on educating youth who have come of age in the

Internet world. He is a strong advocate of legislation

that would require all young people to take an “Online

Etiquette and Safety” class in their schools, as the state of

Virginia now requires its students to do.

“We have to make sure our legal system grows with

technology,” Nigam points out. In the past nine months

alone, Nigam and his team have employed over 75 new

security measures, including partnering with Sentinel

Tech to create a program that will identify and delete

profiles of registered sex offenders that are currently

on the Web site. Another recent step towards protecting

young users is making all profiles of members under the

age of 16 private so that they cannot be contacted by

people they don’t already know or potential predators.

“This is the real world now,” says Nigam, who is

quick to point out where his commitment to policing

the world began. “During my time at BU Law, and

particularly working in the Criminal Clinic, I was

shown a strong focus on “real world” issues. We learned

common sense dealing with real cases. That’s more

important than anything else.”

Nigam recalls Professor Bill Ryckman as one of the

toughest professors he encountered. “One thing he did

was present you with a case, but he would give you

only parts of the case to read. There would be a scurry

by the students to find all the information,” Nigam said.

“Instead of just thinking about what the facts were for

this particular case, Professor Ryckman wanted you to

think about the larger question: how does this case affect

our society?”

Nigam, if anyone, understands where the facts fall in

today’s society. “More than ever people want to know

what’s going on in the world. When I was younger,

we had pen pals. Nowadays you have MySpace. It’s an

instantaneous world of connection, and we want to give

people all the tools possible to help them navigate it.”

hen John Riccardi (‘91) returned to BU Law

to become acting director of the Office of

Foreign Programs (OFP) in 1997, he saw many

familiar faces—and a new direction in the law

tower. “Returning was fun because many of the

professors I had were still here,” says Riccardi, now

the assistant dean for Graduate and International

Programs. “But what was most exciting

was witnessing the School’s response

to the globalization of law practice

and helping the School make its

mark in international legal

education.”

When he joined the OFP, the

globalization of law was not part of

his world. He had been working for

several years as a health care lawyer at

the Boston firm, Ropes & Gray. Suddenly, his main

charge was to build the School’s LL.M. in American

Law Program for foreign lawyers and create study

abroad opportunities for J.D.’s. “The challenge was

to build an international two-way street at BU Law

and to prepare both domestic J.D. and foreign LL.M.

students for global careers.”

Today, the School welcomes between 65 and 70

foreign lawyers each year to attend J.D. classes

through the American Law Program; and J.D.

students can study abroad at 12 foreign destinations

throughout Europe, South America, the Middle

East and Asia, more venues than but a handful of

other law schools.

Riccardi, whose pre-law career was in marketing

and communications, is constantly looking at new

opportunities that will help prepare J.D.’s for practice

in today’s global economy. Most recently, BU Law

added a new semester exchange program at the

National University of Singapore, to complement its

growing presence in Asia.

“Law firms and American

businesses are increasingly

taking note of opportunities

in Asia and setting up a presence

there, so our graduates are going to

be heavily involved in Asia-related

activities,” he said. BU Law also offers

programs at the University of Hong Kong

and at Tsinghua Law School in Beijing. Future

programs may include India, Eastern Europe and

additional opportunities on mainland China.

“There are very few areas of legal work these days

that don’t somehow implicate international issues,”

says Riccardi. “The additional perspective J.D.

students gain from being fully immersed in a foreign

law school and educational culture is invaluable,”

he says. “In the history of these programs, every

single student who has participated has said they

would recommend the experience and, if given the

opportunity, would do it all over again.”

Riccardi is quick to note that J.D. students don’t need

to leave Boston to gain a global perspective. In addition

to the school’s expansive international course offerings,

the presence of foreign-trained LL.M. students in the

J.D. classroom makes it impossible to avoid the global

dimension of law. “Today at BU Law, a typical first

year student could have a Russian lawyer on his or her

right side and a German lawyer on his or her left. All

J.D.’s can now learn how the issues discussed might

be dealt with in other countries. I never received that

perspective when I was in law school, and quite frankly,

I’m not sure I even knew that perspective existed!”

says Riccardi.

As the academic advisor to the American Law LL.M.

and visiting foreign exchange students, Riccardi

spends considerable time supporting the foreign

students’ adjustment to their new academic and

cultural surroundings at BU Law.

“Many of the students have never been to America

before, and certainly none have experienced the

Socratic method,” he notes. During their LL.M.

year, the students take J.D. courses to learn about

the American perspective on issues relevant to their

overseas work. Corporate, business and commercial

law topics, and intellectual property are the most

popular fields.

“It’s a mind-boggling adjustment for them but they

often tell me their year was the best year of their lives,”

says Riccardi. “They truly love their professors and they

make friendships and connections that last well beyond

their year in Boston.”

Today, more than ever, and for an increasing number

of J.D. and LL.M. students alike, BU Law is the

launching pad of choice for the practice of law in a

global economy. ■

Public Interest Project (PIP) AuctionThe annual auction is instrumental in helping raise money for grants for students taking unpaid public-service summer internships. In 2007, over 80 grants (up from 50 in 2006), were awarded to students, and nearly half of the funding came from the auction. This year, PIP also awarded three grants to cover the cost of bar exam preparation courses for graduating students going into public service work. Among the items at this year’s auction were: a Caribbean vacation, dinners with law professors and a football signed by New England Patriots running back Laurence Maroney. Several BU Law professors served as auctioneers and blackjack dealers at the event.

“Meet the Women” Awards Ceremony & Cocktail Reception Sponsored by the BU Law Women’s Law Association on April 5th, the “Meet the Women” ceremony and cocktail reception honored the following attorneys: Danielle de Benedictis (’71), a civil litigator specializing in family law; Nancy Shilepsky (’78), an infl uential employment lawyer; and Sandy Steele (’77) a prominent community activist. The BU Law Women’s Law Association is a student-run organization that promotes recognition and understanding of women’s unique contributions in academia, practice

and the community at large.

In a world lacking any neutral supranational courts of

mandatory jurisdiction, arbitration provides a dispute resolution

mechanism that can enhance predictability and neutrality,

thereby promoting transnational economic cooperation.

Professor Park has spent much of his career exploring the “how” and

the “why” of international dispute resolution. His most recent book,

Arbitration of International Business Disputes, has just been published

by Oxford University Press. He is also the author of a casebook on

commercial arbitration, as well as treatises on forum selection, income

tax conventions and the International Chamber of Commerce.

After beginning his career in Paris with a practice related to international

tax and fi nance, Park returned to Boston to teach and to

direct the law school’s Center for Banking and Financial

Law. His work has focused increasingly on arbitration.

He has chaired arbitrations in French and English in

England, France, Switzerland and Finland, as well as in

the United States and Canada. Park has held visiting

academic appointments at Cambridge University,

Université de Dijon, University of Hong Kong, the

Institut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales

in Geneva and the Fletcher School of Law and

Diplomacy. He is general editor of the London-

based journal Arbitration International, a

vice president of the London Court

of International Arbitration

and a member of the NAFTA

Financial Services Roster.

Park has sat on the Appeals

Tribunal for the International

Commission on Holocaust

Adapting the Law of War to Twenty-First Century Conflicts

Since 9/11, international lawyers have debated

whether the post-WWII law of war, also known as

international humanitarian law (IHL), is anachronistic

in the twenty-fi rst century. In an article forthcoming in

the Michigan Law Review, “Prologue to a Voluntarist War

Convention,” Professor Robert D. Sloane considers how the

so-called “Global War on Terror” differs from past wars as

a prologue to designing appropriate, effective and humane

principles of IHL for twenty-fi rst century armed confl icts, in

particular, those waged against modern transnational terrorist

organizations such as al-Qaeda.

He identifi es two characteristics—the absence of a shared

conception of non-combatant immunity and the network

structure of these organizations—that vastly complicate efforts

to adapt the inherited laws of war, a periodic ritual that has

historically followed major wars and crises. While recognizing

the need for change, Professor Sloane urges caution and

deliberation in modifying IHL given the manifest potential

for abuse. His current research focuses on how a core axiom

of the laws of war—the separation of the laws that govern

resort to force, jus ad bellum, from those that govern the

conduct of hostilities, jus in bello—has been compromised

recently: for example, in the application of proportionality

in the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon,

the contemporary politics of nuclear diplomacy, and the

resurrection of rationalized torture.

Before joining BU Law, Professor Sloane served as a visiting

lecturer-in-law and Schell Fellow at Yale Law School, where

he taught international human rights and international

arbitration, and as an associate-in-law at Columbia Law

School. He also continued to practice international law as

a consultant, working on arbitrations conducted under the

auspices of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea,

the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment

Disputes, the International Chamber of Commerce, and

specialized tribunals, as well as assisting with the preparation

of expert opinions for foreign sovereigns and

multinational corporations. Professor

Sloane has published in the fi elds of

public international law, human rights,

international criminal law, asylum

law and international arbitration. His

current research focuses on the laws of

war and the use and limits of criminal

law concepts in international law.

He teaches international law, criminal

law, international human rights and

transnational criminal law. Professor

Sloane also continues to

work pro bono for

Tibet Justice Center

and presently serves

as chairman of

its board of

directors.

After a six-year stint at the United Nations in the 1980’s and a degree from Shanghai

International Studies University, Howard Zhang knew he wanted to attend law school in the United States. Beyond that, the details of his plan were a little fuzzy.

Unfamiliar with law schools in the U.S., Zhang happened upon a brochure for Boston University School of Law, researched the School and decided it would be a good place to explore his interest in American law.

“At the time, I didn’t know much about law schools in the States. I thought I wanted to go to Harvard,” said Zhang, the son of two peasants in China’s Henan province. “I went to a law school fair, picked up a brochure for BU, applied and was admitted.”

The decision has worked out well for Zhang, and for BU Law. Now the head of the Beijing office of O’Melveny and Myers LLC, Zhang was recognized in 2004 as an AsiaLaw leading lawyer in corporate finance and in 2005 as a leading lawyer in private equity/venture capital, mergers and acquisitions and capital markets. A recipient of the American Jurisprudence Award, Zhang recently bestowed a $100,000 faculty research grant upon his alma mater, a decision that doesn’t surprise those around him.

“As a person, he’s an incredibly warm guy,” said Scott Silverman, a 36-year-old senior associate who works in the Beijing office with Zhang. “He’s very easygoing with an even keel and a great sense of humor.”

When Zhang came to BU Law in 1990, he brought not only his disposition, but also his interest in other cultures after growing up under a repressive Chinese government. Zhang was one of the first members of his province to attend university in China after the Cultural Revolution.

Zhang said once he began at BU Law — after spending a year at

the City University of New York studying political science — it didn’t take long for him to realize business law was his calling. “I didn’t know anything about the study of law in the United States or about legal practice,” he said. “I had no clue at all. After my second year, I quickly realized that given my background and language skills, I wouldn’t be able to do litigation. That left business law.”

“He has excellent cross-cultural skills,” said Silverman ,who has seen the calm that Zhang exhibits during intense situations. Silverman attributes Zhang’s skills to his pre-law school experience at the United Nations. There he learned how to communicate effectively in any situation and transition through cultural boundaries. “It’s amazing how he can switch between a

At Home in Two Cultures


group of Americans and a group of Chinese,” Silverman said.

After graduating from BU Law in 1993, Zhang and his wife, Jane, whom he met in an English class in China, stayed in Boston where Zhang worked at Testa, Hurwitz and Thibeault LLC. While in America, the couple had two daughters, Ashley, now in her first year at Georgetown University Law School, and Emily, 12. Emily lives in Beijing with Zhang and his wife but Zhang says that he has taken steps to ensure his youngest daughter receives an education similar to her older sister’s experience in America.

“Emily goes to an American school because we want to make sure our kids grow up in a similar environment,” said Zhang. “So it’s not a situation where the eldest is American and the youngest is Chinese.”

While Zhang’s ties to the U.S. have remained steadfast, he admits his connection to the School had loosened in the decade after he returned to his native China. “A few years ago, I saw a list of missing law school alumni, and I was on it,” he said. “I felt bad. I always felt I should do something for the law school.”

After reconnecting with BU Law, Zhang chose to support the School with a faculty research grant. BU Law Professor Jack Beermann said Zhang’s grant will be instrumental in helping current faculty and in attracting other renowned teachers and lawyers to the University. “Research is a very important mission of the law school,” said Beermann. “Every professor at the School is expected to provide research at a higher level. There’s a certain amount of prestige that comes with having a fund like this.”

For Zhang, the donation is more than just giving back to his University — it’s also his way of honoring a mysterious American benefactor who paid for his education at B.U. To this day, Zhang declines to name the benefactor. “After I got my first job, I tried to repay her, but she wouldn’t take it,” said Zhang.

In addition to the faculty research grant, Zhang has a long-standing offer to assist his extended family in their educational endeavors. It is known that if any of his nieces or nephews attends college, Zhang will support them financially. “Education has done a lot for me. To the extent that I can help someone, I will.”

“There’s no doubt that my BU Law education contributed

immensely to both my career in law and in business. At the

and develop well thought out and creative solutions. This

obviously was a skill that I used in my legal career, but

it is also something I use virtually every day in my Asian

‘business career’. The law school also helped me refine

and develop my communications ability. This has been

particularly important in Asia where I am often dealing in

cross cultural contexts where good communications are key

to developing strong relationships, which in turn are critical

for business success.”

BU Law AlumnusSets Sights on Japan

Robert Grondine (’80) has come a long way from the small town of Oxford, Mass., where he grew up. “Nobody around there does or even imagines doing this kind of work,” says Grondine, a senior partner at White & Case LLP’s Tokyo offi ce. “It seems normal to those of us in international legal practice, but in the greater realm of people out there, they’re surprised. They ask, ‘How did you get there?’”

How he got there is a topic Grondine warms to

quickly when mentoring young attorneys and, as

he did last October at BU Law, addressing students

interested in pursuing international law. Grondine

says he knew from an early age both that he wanted

to be an attorney and that he wanted to travel. “My

siblings always accuse me of being the one with the

plan,” he laughs.

As an undergraduate at Dartmouth, he set his sights

on Japan after an advisor cautioned him to avoid

competition by searching out the unusual. At the

time only about 3,000 Americans were fl uent in

Japanese, so Grondine studied the language at Cor-

nell, then spent two years in Tokyo working as a

“salaryman,” or white-collar worker, before return-

ing to the United States to attend BU Law. Gron-

dine tells young lawyers to “look for opportunities

and plan fi ve years out. There are many variables,

and the markets and opportunities vary over time.”

Taking his own advice has made Grondine him-

self incredibly successful in his 26 years of foreign

practice, having represented clients from General

Motors to Fuji Heavy Industries to Sony Corpora-


tion. He has also been heavily involved in the Ameri-

can Chamber of Commerce, acting as both chairman

and president since 2000. “As president you are the

chief spokesperson for the U.S. business community

in Japan,” he says. “We have about 3,000 members.

It’s a critical source of on-the-ground information for

the U.S. government and for the Japanese government

on the problems, inconveniences and discriminations

encountered by foreign investors in Japan.”

Though there are only 40,000 to 50,000 Americans

in Japan (not including the military), the commer-

cial relationship between the two countries is crucial

and growing. Many of the most interesting prob-

lems in the new millennium involve the transfer of

data and personal information across borders, issues

related to intellectual property and enforcement of

regulations abroad. Grondine has had no problem

keeping up with the fast pace of change in a country

as dynamic as Japan, and he does so by living every

day the advice he gives to young lawyers.

First, he maintains, perhaps almost as useful as

speaking the language of your clients is the ability to

listen. “You actually listen more than you talk as a

lawyer,” he says. Second, concentrate on one area;

for Grondine, that area has been commercial law —

particularly mergers and acquisitions, asset-backed

structured fi nance, and tax-effective fi nance transac-

tions. Though he is currently working on a few

transactions in China and has had Peru as a client

as well, he tells young people to “be really good in

one or two areas. If you get dragged into places you

don’t know, you will not be able to provide a high

level of value for your clients.”

Another edge he has had over many competitors

is that he has honed his evidentiary skills, a prac-

tice that has not traditionally been emphasized in

Japanese law. “Understanding how you prove some-

thing to someone,” he says, “and convincing the

people on the other side of the table, is helpful in

any country. Knowing how to fi nd the facts to build

your case is absolutely crucial.”

But perhaps most important to his success has been

his desire to learn and to see the world. This, he

maintains, is critical to anyone interested in a career

in international law. “You must know something

about the world going in,” he says, “but you also

must have a real desire to fi nd out more. You have

to love to study, and love the idea of learning some-

thing new every day.”


BU Law Honors2007 Silver Shingle Award WinnersThis year marks the 40th anniversary of the “Silver Shingle” awards, presented each year to outstanding alumni and friends of Boston University School of Law. Recognizing remarkable members of our community, awards are given in the categories of: “Distinguished Service to the Profession;” “Distinguished Service to the School of Law;” “Distinguished Service to the Community;” and “The Young Lawyer’s Chair.” A separate honor is presented to a Boston University School of Law administrative staff member, the “Gerard H. Cohen Award for Distinguished Service to the School.” On our 40th anniversary of celebrating these accomplished individuals, Boston University School of Law is proud to announce the 2007 recipients of the Silver Shingle and Gerard H. Cohen Awards.

Alan Miller (‘65)For Distinguished Service to the ProfessionManaging a career as a professional football player for the New England Patriots while also attending BU Law, Alan Miller has combined his passion for sports and his dedication to law for the past 40 years. Mr. Miller served as general counsel to the American Football League Players Association from 1965 to 1970 and was subsequently elected general counsel to the National Football League Players Association. Afterward, Mr. Miller began a career in motor sports and opened the Law Offi ce of Alan R. Miller PC in 1979, which is considered by many to be the preeminent motor sports law fi rm in the United States. Mr. Miller served as editor for the BU Law Review and graduated cum laude while playing for the New England Patriots and later for the Oakland Raiders.

Edward McCarthy (‘62)For Distinguished Service to the SchoolA founding partner of McCarthy, Bouley & Barry PC, Ed McCarthy has been practicing law for four decades as a specialist in medical malpractice defense, product liability, general health and hospital law as well as serving as a long-standing supporter of the BU Law community. As the permanent class president for his graduation year, he has been actively involved in fundraising, organizing reunions and bringing together classmates over the past

40 years. He has also served as a member of the Alumni Association Executive Committee for decades. Mr. McCarthy served as an adjunct professor of Health and Hospital Law at the New England School of Law and was named to the Super Lawyers of Massachusetts by Boston Magazine and as one of the Best Lawyers in America in 2007.

Martha Coakley (’79)For Distinguished Service to the CommunityThe fi rst woman elected attorney general for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2006, Martha Coakley began her legal career practicing civil litigation with the fi rm of Parker, Coulter, Daley & White and later with Goodwin Procter in Boston. She joined the Middlesex District Attorney’s Offi ce in 1986 and was invited by the U.S. Justice Department to join the Boston Organized Crime Strike Force as a special attorney in 1987. Attorney General Coakley returned to the District Attorney’s Offi ce in 1989 and was appointed the chief of the Child Abuse Prosecution Unit in 1991. Throughout her career, Attorney General Coakley has been committed to improving the well-being of her community, having served as president of the Massachusetts District Attorney’s Association, president of the Women’s Bar Association of Massachusetts and as a Board member of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. She also served


Leiha Macauley ’01, Edward McCarthy ’62, Dean Maureen O’Rourke, Tim Hall, Attorney General Martha Coakley ’79, Alan Miller ’65

as the Board Chair for the Directors of Middlesex Partnership for Youth, a non-profi t organization committed to providing prevention and intervention resources and training to Middlesex school districts and communities.

Leiha Macauley (’01)Young Lawyer’s ChairAn associate at Day Pitney LLP, Ms. Macauley was honored early in her career as one of only ten young lawyers in Boston selected to participate in the Boston Bar Association’s Public Interest Leadership Program. As a Public Interest leader, she spent more than 250 hours serving the Boston community and developing opportunities for new lawyers to participate in public service. Ms. Macauley later developed and directed Boston’s fi rst pro bono partnership between Day Pitney and a community health center, East Boston Community Health Center. Attorneys work at the clinic two hours each week, providing legal counsel and advocacy for families who encounter legal obstacles in accessing basic needs such as food, housing, education and health care. Due to Ms. Macauley’s dedication to pro bono work, 85 percent of attorneys at Day Pitney now participate in this program. Ms. Macauley also serves as chair of the Junior Fellows of the Boston Bar Foundation and is a member of the Boston Bar Association’s Public Interest committee and Day Pitney’s Diversity and Women Working Together Committees.

Tim HallThe Gerard H. Cohen Award for Distinguished Service to the School of LawA member of the Facilities Management Department for 30 years, Tim Hall has shown a remarkable dedication to the BU community, and specifically the law tower, where he has been based for 25 years. A former member of the military and a familiar face around Boston University School of Law, Mr. Hall is known for his sense of humor as well as his willingness to help faculty and students, to whom he has grown close over his many years of service at the University.


Allan StoneIn 1960, now-legendary art collector Allan Stone (’58) abandoned a

legal career on Wall Street to open a Manhattan gallery showcasing

the works of Abstract Expressionists and then-emerging artists.

After graduating from BU Law and moving to New York, Stone

gave much of his time (as well as free legal advice) to artists such as

Robert S. Neuman and Elaine de Kooning.

Over the years, Stone used his expertise to influence the rise of New

York City as the center of the international art world.

While Stone passed away in December 2000, his memory lives on

in a documentary based on his life. In the film, “The Collector,”

Olympia Stone, his daughter, sets out to understand her father’s

obsessive passion for art.

Faye Gloria StoneBU Law alumna Faye Gloria Stone (’47), who died of cancer in

November 2006, devoted herself to making the arts a priority on

the BU campus.

A 1994 recipient of BU’s Alumni Award, Stone recently pledged

$500,000 to renovate the Boston University Art Gallery, renamed

the Faye G., Jo and James Stone Gallery.

In 2006, she established a permanent scholarship, the Faye G., Jo

and James Stone Scholarship to provide full scholarships to one or

more undergraduate students in BU’s College of Fine Arts.
