I want to welcome you to an exciting new venture, an alumni magazine for Boston College Law School. This magazine was first envisioned by the Alumni Council seven years ago. Now, made possible by alumni generosity and the efforts of Associate Dean Brian Lutch and our Publications Specialist, Amy DerBedrosian, it is a reality.

Our Law School has now realized the vision of its founders 63 years ago. It is ninth in the countty in total applications, one of the nation's leaders in research and innovative professional programs. With alumni practicing in virtually every state and dozens of foreign countries, it is clear that personal visits have to be supplemented by other ways to "stay in touch." This new publication will go to our 8,000 alumni as well as to thousands of law faculty, professional and governmental offices, and institutions of higher learning throughout the country and abroad. Our distinguished faculty, students, staff, and PUBLICATION NOTE alumni have much to say to this broad audience, and we hope to learn much in return. EDITOR IN CHIEF/ PUB LI CATION DIRECTOR Amy S.

Neither interpretation is wrong, but they share a fundamental assumption that limits our understanding: they both accept the Hobbesian view of man as self-enlightening, self-creating, andself-defining, andanAmeri­ canized version of Mill's view of sociery as justified only so long as it maximizes indi­ vidual liberty. What is common to these two approaches, therefore, is an inabili ty to move beyond conceptualizations ofJ apan that are derived entirely from American theories of law and of society. The way to break free of these preconceptions is to look at what justice means in actual cases within Japanese society. When we do, we see that Japan favors a vision of justice that is more likely than our own to emphasize the importance ofcommun ity and the interconnection rather than the separation of individuals within society.

The free­ dom to dismiss workers for good cause, no cause, or even morally repugnant cause has been a basic tenet ofAmerican employment law since it was judicially created in the 19th century.

Five years before she joined the company, Pat had An innovative course brings some realities oflegal practice to the two seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy. When she was hired by first-year curriculum Garcia Transportation, Pat mentioned her past seizures but noted that they had not reoccurred. She did not use the word "epilepsy" to de­ scribe her condition, nor did she say that she was taking any medication to prevent seizures. Now Garcia Transportation has learned of Pat's epilepsy and has terminated her employment - allegedly not because of her physical disorder, but for violating a company policy against lying.

Class size is approximately 30 students, consider­ ably fewer than in typical first-year courses. Teaching assistants supplement faculty in­ struction by providing critiques of student role-playing and by meeting with students. Students are encouraged to express them­ selves in class, and they often work together in pairs to complete the simulation exercises. And ILPR doesn't focus on legal analysis of appellate cases, the traditional backbone of first-year courses. "ILPR is particuarly beneficial in the first-year context because it pulls together some of the principles students will have examined in other courses. They see the concepts in action," says Lutch. In fact, ILPRgrew outofthe Law School's 1984 examination of its first-year curricu­ lum.AsAssociate Professor Robert H. Smith, one of the creators ofILPR, recalls, "We had been teaching the same courses for at least 30 years. The first year didn't accomplish all we wanted. The traditional courses developed the intellectual and analytical skills, but did not focus adequately on a lot ofwhat lawyers do-skills in relating to clients, how lawyers relate to other lawyers, how lawyers relate to the courts as advocates. Criticism was com­ ing from faculty who taught upper-level Simulations of lawyering skills are a key element of ILPR.

ILPR is not what students think law school is about, even though the issues ad­ dressed are the heart and soul of the practice of law," says McMorrow. "Then students come back and say they used ILPR skills and concepts in their summer jobs. And many schools now are adding a course that looks different from traditional common law courses, even if it's not ILPR." Graef was one student who didn't need to be convinced about the benefits ofILPR. She says, "I think ILPR is an extraordinarily valuable course. It makes people begin to think about how lawyers behave, which is an enormously fruitful process." Though ILPR has merits stated by stu­ dents and faculty alike, those who have Professor Alfred C.

He adds, "This institution is willing to look at the curricu­ lum in creative ways and is open to new teaching methodologies, even those that require intensive faculty resources. The ex­ istence ofthis course in the first-year curricu­ lum is representative of our faculty's commitment to students." For the most part, students seem to agree that ILPR is worthwhile, responding favor­ ably in course surveys.

BOSTON COLLEGE LAW SCHOOL MAGAZINE 39 Boston College Law School Alumni Activities and Development Report 1991 -1992 Laurence S. Duffy, Director of External Relations

In September of 1991, I was appointed the Law School's first Director of External Relations, with responsibility for merging rwo offices operated separately since the mid-1980s-Alumni Relations and Development. Since effective fundraising and strong alumni programs are so closely related, Dean Coquillette decided to combine the rwo, which is the preferred model of most of the top law schools. While the economy made 1991-1992 a difficult year in some respects, Boston College Law School was highly successful in terms of alumni activities and gift support. More than 60 events, programs, and meetings attracted 2,546 alumni and friends. The Alumni Association, led by Leo Boyle '71, established an organized presence in Washington, DC, and Chicago, where formal alumni chapters will conduct annual programs and activities similar to those of other chapters in New York and Providence. In April, 47 alumni were inducted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. Finally, the 1991-1992 year ended as the third in a row that the presidency of the Massachusetts Bar Association was held by a Boston College Law School graduate. Daniel Crane '75 held that position, following Leo Boyle '71 and Thomas Maffei '71, respectively. Gift support of the Law School reached new highs in many categories of donors and dollars, with total cash gifts at $1,123,694. The Special Gifts Committee, chaired by Paul McNamara '65, and Thomas Maffei's Leadership Gifts Committee raised 168 gifts of$I,OOO or more, a big improvement over the previous year's 147. Fall and spring telethons saw nearly 200 volun teers raise a record $126,467 under the leadership of Rachel Rivlin '77. Three new restricted funds were established in 1991-1992. The Class of 1980 Fund was created with a gift of $15,518, the principal sum of a charitable corporation begun by Foster Cooperstein '80 and his classmates shortly after graduation. The Owen M. Kupferschmid Holocaust/Human Rights Research Project Endowment was established to provide long-term funding for the student-run project founded by Owen Kupferschmid, a member of the Class of 1986. His untimely death in 1991 took a remarkable young man from our alumni body, and this fund will serve as a living memorial to his work for human rights worldwide. Finally, in June, the Robert F. Drinan, S.J. Fund was inaugurated, honoring Father Drinan's 50 years as a Jesuit and his leadership of the Law School from 1956 to 1970 as Dean. The Law School completed its role in the 5 112-year Campaign for Boston College by raising $5.4 million in gifts and pledges as the Campaign closed on December 31, 1991. That effort was headed by Jack Curtin '57, the aforementioned volunteers, and Stephen Fogg '75 of the Campaign Committee. Following is the 1991-1992 Report of Gifts to the Law School. The people listed here are directly responsible for much of the success Boston College Law School has had in becoming one of the country's finest. The entire community-faculty, students, and staff-realizes that and is most grateful.

Wanting to give something back to Boston College Law School and to provide for his own financial needs in his later years, Frank has established a loan forgiveness fund through several gift annuities. These provide Frank with tax deductible charitable gifts as well as an annuity for life. Ultimately, they will endow the loan forgiveness fund named for the Law School's first Dean, Dennis A. Dooley.

Taking great satisfaction in establishing a permanent fund to help future law students, Frank stated, "I wanted to help Boston College Law School and honor my close friend, Dennis Dooley. Without Dean

Dooley, there would have been no Law School, and Francis W. Phelan '33 without Boston College Law School, my life would not have been as rich."

If you, too, are interested in making a gift to Boston College Law School which will provide you with lifetime annuity income, or if you would like to make a bequest provision, please contact:
