UM Law alumni from seven European countries and Japan had the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with Dean Dennis Lynch this summer when he traveled to Law School events in London and Munich. On June 28, John Harriman, president of Schroders Bank in Miami, hosted a lunch for the Dean and a select group of Univer- sity of Miami alumni at Schroders’ head office in London. This was an opportunity to bring together UM Law graduates (and other attorneys with UM undergraduate de- grees) at one of the oldest banking houses in the world.

The University of Miami School of Law lost a renowned alumna and great friend when United States Senior District Judge Lenore Carrero Nesbitt passed away on Oct. 6, 2001. At a time when few women entered the profession, Judge Nesbitt graduated first in her law class in 1957, beginning a career of “firsts” in the law. She was the first woman appointed as a Florida Circuit Judge by the Governor’s Merit Selection Committee and the first woman appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern Dis- trict of Florida, where she served for 18 years. Her judicial portrait was the first of a woman to be hung in the Central Courtroom of the U.S. District Court on which she served. Throughout her long and distinguished career, Judge Nesbitt de- voted herself to her family, her community, her profession, and to the University of Miami. Among her many community and profes- sional commitments, the judge served on several boards and committees at the University, including the Visiting Committees of the School of Law and the School of Nursing (which she chaired), and as a University Trustee. Judge Nesbitt is one of three 2001 inductees into the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame. Hon. John G. Fletcher Barbara Ehrich Locke, Esq. During the past year, Judge Nesbitt waged a courageous battle Kara E. Franey Losner Family Fund against cancer, which ultimately took her life. The Law School is Thelma V. A. Gibson Hon. Arthur E. Maginnis assisting friends of Judge Nesbitt in funding an endowed student Robert S. Glazier, Esq. Arva Parks McCabe scholarship named in her honor at the Law School. When she was Hon. John C. Godbold Robert H. McCabe consulted earlier this year about possible endeavors to honor her, Hon. Mario P. Goderich Nancy N. McLamore Judge Nesbitt made it clear that a student scholarship at the Law Hon. Jose A. Gonzalez, Jr. Nancy McLemore School would be most meaningful to her. Betty Ann Good Isabel Atwill Merritt Gordy-Mead-Britton Foundation Lee Stapleton Milford, Esq. “Judge Nesbitt’s career in the law provides a wonderful example Cami Green, Esq. Susan J. Moll for our students and we are proud of her many accomplishments,” Charles H. Greenberg Michael T. Moore, Esq. commented Dean Dennis O. Lynch. “The Law School is most grati- Florence Ruth Hecht Ilene Linda Pabian, Esq. fied to have this scholarship honoring our distinguished alumna.” Linda Collins Hertz, Esq. Hon. Peter R. Palermo The Law School—which dedicated its Annual Homecoming John R. Hoehl Daniel S. Pearson, Esq. Breakfast on November 3 to the remarkable life and career of Lenore John M. Hogan, Esq. James H.

Rafael C. Benitez founded UM Law’s Graduate Program for Foreign Lawyers, now known as the LL.M. Program in Comparative Law. He also inaugurated the Lawyer of the Americas (predecessor of today’s Inter-American Law Review) and started the Masters Program in Inter-American Law for U.S. Lawyers. Many of the pioneer foreign graduates from the University of Miami School of Law have fond memories of Professor Benitez. He recruited, selected, counseled and taught the School’s foreign lawyers. He and his wife, Nancy, opened their home to all for holiday and family events and guided the lawyers into the legal community in Miami. Later, he served as interim dean of the Law School and dean of the University’s Graduate School of International Studies. As UM Law embarks on its fourth decade of International and Foreign Programs, graduates of those programs and friends of Professor Benitez are honoring him with a new scholarship fund for international students. We thank the following contributors for their generous gifts. Others who would like information on contributing should call the Office of Law Development and Alumni Relations at 305-284-3470.

On Dec. 8, 1999, UM Law graduate Mariel Melissa Spencer died tragically of complications from acute leukemia at the age of 28. A graduate of UM Law’s J.D. and LL.M. programs (in 1996 and 1998), she enjoyed her association with the School, where she had been a member of the Inter-American Law Review and where she discovered her passion for tax law. Upon graduating from UM, she began her career working for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Miami as a state and local tax consultant. Her husband (Kevin Spencer, JD ’96), family and friends have established a scholarship in her name at UM Law. The award is made to a second- or third- year female J.D. student or a female LL.M. student who has a least a 3.0 grade point average, an interest in practicing tax law, and financial need.

This scholarship responds to a new drive initiated by Dean Dennis O. Lynch to encourage South Florida law firms to establish scholarships at UM Law.
