UF Law was ranked among the “Top 35 Law Faculties Based on Scholarly Impact for 2007.” Rankings were based on standard “objective” measures of scholarly impact, per capita citations to faculty scholarship using Westlaw’s JRL database. The 10 most-cited faculty members were Profes- sors Jeffrey Harrison, Berta Hernandez- Truyol, Jerry Israel, Robert Jerry, Lars Noah, William Page, Juan Perea, Leon- ard Riskin, Christopher Slobogin and Barbara Woodhouse. “I think it’s clear the output of our faculty has been increasing in recent years, and that’s a real credit to them,” Dean Jerry said. “It’s good to see that the impact of the work is being recog- nized through citations.

he Honorable C. Clyde Atkins (JD 36), an influential judge and a champion of civil rights, and John Moore McCarty (JD 41), a former state senator, judge, Florida Bar president and member of the influential 1968 Constitution Revision Commission, have been posthumously inducted into the University of Florida Levin College of Law Heritage of Leadership RecognitionT Society. C. CLYDE ATKINS Atkins was known as a defender for those who were less fortunate as well as a passionate supporter of the legal justice system. His achievements in this arena included advocating for the rights of the homeless, upholding the rights of Cuban and Haitian refugees to lodge petitions in U.S. courts and working for the desegregation of public schools. Atkins’ academic career began at UF, where he earned a degree in law in 1936. In 1941 he joined law school classmate Bill Lantaff (JD 36) at Casey & Walton in Miami, where he worked for the next 25 years and became a name partner. Practicing as an active trial lawyer in the areas of corporate, real estate, railroad and insurance gave him the foundation for his exceptional 33-year career as a federal judge. Atkins was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson as the judge of the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, and served as the chief judge of the district from 1977 to 1982. President Jimmy Carter recognized his willingness to serve others by appointing him to the National Commission for the Review of Antitrust Laws and Procedures from 1978 to 1979. Atkins presided over thousands of cases and was known by many for his astute judgment, fairness, impartiality and commitment to the law. “If he’s convinced it’s guaranteed by the Constitution, he is fearless,” Atkins the late Chesterfield Smith (JD 48) once said of Atkins’ commitment to law. “He doesn’t care if it’s unpopular. He’ll stand alone.”

6 UF LAW WINTER 2008 7 Some of Atkins’ most publicized cases included presiding over the desegregation of Dade County schools beginning in 1969 and continuing jurisdiction for more than 25 years; a ruling allowing Allen Ginsberg, a poet who was denied his freedom of expression when the chief of police turned off his microphone, to give another reading free of charge; the action brought by the Justice Department seeking to prevent Florida Power & Light from building the Turkey Point nuclear power plant in Dade County; and a wildcat machinist strike at National Airlines, in which he refused to reinstate striking machinists after they disobeyed his injunction to return to work to allow the airline to resume operations. Atkins also presided over serious drug cases that earned his district court a national reputation as one of the finest in the 1970s. In the 1990s Atkins ruled against both the Bush and Clinton administrations’ policies to repatriate Cuban and Haitian refugees housed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In 1992 he ruled on arguably his most influential case involving the homeless in Miami. He ordered the creation of “safe zones” for McCarty the area’s homeless to congregate without the threat of police arrest. Much of the nation’s subsequent attitude to rehabilitate the homeless through training and the creation of shelters was McCarty served on the first Supreme Court Nominating influenced by this decision. Commission along with past Heritage of Leadership inductees Over his illustrious career Atkins received numerous public Dixie Beggs (2003) and John Wigginton (2006). He also served on service awards, including being named as a Knight of St. the American Bar Association House of Delegates, the Florida Bar Gregory by Pope Paul VI, having the University of Miami’s Board of Governors and as a director of the American Judicature Moot Court named in his behalf and being honored with the Society. He was elected and served as president of the Florida Bar National Conference for Community and Justice Distinguished in 1971 to 1972. Community Service Award. Atkins died in 1999.

hen Colombian and South American immigrants encounter challenges upon arriving in America, a fellow countryman steps forward to lend a helping hand. As the passionate president W of the Colombian American Service Association (CASA), Julio Jaramillo (JD 91) advocates for human rights and helps hundreds of individuals and families each month work to earn their citizenship. Jaramillo, who came to the U.S. from Colombia in 1966 and recently opened his own private law firm in Miami, feels Colombian and other South American immigrants are ignored in the U.S. “I got involved in CASA in 1995 because the problems my fellow Colombians and immigrants generally faced were at the point where something needed to be done,” Jaramillo said. “They are overlooked and have very little representation in the community.” Jaramillo, right, with a client The organization serves about 400 to 500 families a month from places such as Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and even Eastern Europe. Jaramillo most enjoys the monthly “citizen drives” that CASA organizes. It receives referrals from community service organizations, elected officials “Once or twice a month we help people get their documentation and and civic leaders “because they know the work we do, and no one gets begin the process of getting their citizenship,” he said. “You should see turned away regardless of ability to pay,” he says. their faces and the gratitude they display when they can swear themselves CASA is currently trying to expand its reach across Florida where about in as U.S. citizens.” 500,000 Colombians reside.

fter looking for a way to combine his love for children and teaching with a career in the legal field, Judge Frank Orlando (JD 63) found himself in A the field of juvenile justice, not only in Florida but around the world. Having served as a Circuit Court judge for 21 years, Orlando is now the director of the Center for the Study of Youth Policy at Nova Southeastern University Law Center in Fort Lauderdale. Orlando’s work is funded by the prestigious Annie E. Casey Foundation in Baltimore, Md. The foundation specifically funds projects, organizations and individuals involved in issues related to children and families. In 1992 Orlando received the American Bar Association Livingston Hall Justice Award, an award that recognizes lawyers who have contributed to the field of juvenile justice. He refers to the Livingston Award as one of his most prized honors in addition to the work he has done at Nova University. In 2000 Orlando was appointed as a Senior Research Fellow at the Dartington Social Research Unit in England, becoming the first American to receive this honor. That same year he served as the director of the International Juvenile Justice Network at Defense for Children International in Geneva, Switzerland. Even with all the awards and honors Orlando has received, he believes he could not have been as successful without his law degree. “Without my UF Law education I couldn’t have gone anywhere,” said Orlando. Orlando credits his success to the many students and teachers he met while in law school and says that without them, he would not have known how to combine his love for children with a career in the legal field. —Alison Dubin

50 UF LAW CHANGING LIVES Your gifts launch waves of transformation

UF LAW ANNUAL REPORT 2006 - 2007 • Uf Law Center Association, Inc. or the past two years, it has been my distinct honor to serve as chairman of the Law Center Association and, more importantly, serve our law school and the exceptional students at UF FLaw. It has been an eventful time as the law school facilities were upgraded and expanded, two U.S. Supreme Court justices visited our campus and funding was provided for a much needed trial advocacy center. Our student teams have won numerous state and regional honors and, of course, on my watch the Gators won three national championships. Coincidence? Seriously, what a great time to be a Gator - particularly a Gator lawyer. I have especially enjoyed working with the dedicated alumni who comprise the Board of Trustees and other law alumni groups. We have helped plan for the college’s future and expanded alumni services and involvement. These efforts have paid huge dividends and will have a lasting influence on advancing the college. There is just one area in which I think we can and must do better. As I’ve spoken with alumni, I’ve come to realize that many of them have given to various projects, but are not involved in the Annual Fund. Dean Jerry calls the Annual Fund donations the school’s “margin of excellence.” I’ve seen firsthand how true that is. These gifts are used as discretionary resources to send students to conferences and competitions, fund law journals and publications, provide scholarships and financial aid, support student organizations and provide the unique enrichment that our students and faculty need to make Florida Law an exceptional experience. I urge every alumnus to give back to the school through the Annual Fund. By doing so, you not only express your gratitude for the opportunities provided by your law education, but intensify the college’s momentum toward distinction. We CAN reach our vision of becoming the number one public W.C. Gentry law school in America, but it will only happen if each of us makes a yearly commitment. Get involved and support your school. There’s a lot going on and you’ll enjoy being part of it. It’s great to be a UF Law graduate and it’s great to be a Gator. Go Gators!

Class Gift tudents in the Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 classes gave back to their law school in Sparticipation rates exceeding alumni giving this year, contributing a combined $99,426 towards the class gift campaign for the law school annual fund. Both classes helped establish groundwork for a culture of giving, with the Fall 2006 class generating $49,801 in gifts and pledges to be paid over a five-year period. Twenty nine percent of the students participated in the campaign. Chairs of the campaign were Oshia Gainer & Will Sexton The Spring 2007 class came extremely close to matching the amount raised by the Fall 2006 class, with 30 percent of the class pledging $49,625. The class was led by chairs David Sams and Kemay Jackson The purpose of the class gift campaign is not only to give back to the school but also to recognize how past alumni generosity has enhanced the law school experience. These students, who are now alumni, have created a legacy that will provide meaningful support to the future scholars of law at the University of Florida.
