Biographies of Massachusetts Judges 1 BIOGRAPHIES OF MASSACHUSETTS JUDGES 1 FEDERAL COURT JUDGES sitting in MASSACHUSETTS The following biographies of Federal Court Judges sitting in Massachusetts were compiled during the summer of 2019. Each judge was sent a questionnaire and responded by listing year of current appointment, prior judgeships, birth dates, education and previous legal employment. Some judges also provided additional information relating to teaching positions, professional associations, honors and awards, and published works. The questionnaire was informal and voluntary. Entries for judges who did not respond to the questionnaire were compiled from secondary sources, including public records and our archives. Frank J.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 15, 2012 Contact: Office of Communications [email protected] 508-856-2000 BIOGEN IDEC JOINS FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNORS PAUL CELLUCCI AND BILL WELD TO ANNOUNCE MAJOR GIFT TO UMASS/ALS CHAMPION FUND Politicians past and present alongside Governors for event to benefit ALS research BOSTON, MA – The University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) today announced a $500,000 gift from Biogen Idec to the UMass/ALS Champion Fund, which supports critical research into ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases. Biogen Idec CEO George A. Scangos, Ph.D., presented the gift to former Massachusetts Governor Paul Cellucci, who launched the Champion Fund last year shortly after announcing that he had been diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. In recognition of the critical need for new treatments for ALS, the UMass/ALS Champion Fund is a campaign to raise awareness and funding for the world-class neuroscience research happening in the UMMS neurology department, which is chaired by Robert H. Brown, Jr., D.Phil., M.D., director of the Day Neuromuscular Research Laboratory at UMMS and one of the world’s leading ALS researchers. “I am so moved by the generosity of Biogen Idec – a great Massachusetts corporation,” said Governor Cellucci. “One of the greatest national resources we have is found in abundance right here in the Commonwealth, in companies like Biogen Idec that are committed to developing cures and treatments that change millions of lives.” “I thank Dr. Scangos and his company. Their generous gift will help support the incredible research into potential treatments for ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases being done at UMass Medical School,” said the Governor.

  • Marking 200 Years of Legal Education: Traditions of Change, Reasoned Debate, and Finding Differences and Commonalities
    MARKING 200 YEARS OF LEGAL EDUCATION: TRADITIONS OF CHANGE, REASONED DEBATE, AND FINDING DIFFERENCES AND COMMONALITIES Martha Minow∗ What is the significance of legal education? “Plato tells us that, of all kinds of knowledge, the knowledge of good laws may do most for the learner. A deep study of the science of law, he adds, may do more than all other writing to give soundness to our judgment and stability to the state.”1 So explained Dean Roscoe Pound of Harvard Law School in 1923,2 and his words resonate nearly a century later. But missing are three other possibilities regarding the value of legal education: To assess, critique, and improve laws and legal institutions; To train those who pursue careers based on legal training, which may mean work as lawyers and judges; leaders of businesses, civic institutions, and political bodies; legal academics; or entre- preneurs, writers, and social critics; and To advance the practice in and study of reasoned arguments used to express and resolve disputes, to identify commonalities and dif- ferences, to build institutions of governance within and between communities, and to model alternatives to violence in the inevi- table differences that people, groups, and nations see and feel with one another. The bicentennial of Harvard Law School prompts this brief explo- ration of the past, present, and future of legal education and scholarship, with what I hope readers will not begrudge is a special focus on one particular law school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ∗ Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence; until July 1, 2017, Morgan and Helen Chu Dean and Professor, Harvard Law School.

  • Handbook of Civil Procedure in the Massachusetts District Court
    HANDBOOK OF CIVIL PROCEDURE IN THE MASSACHUSETTS DISTRICT COURT SPECIAL ALERT New Requirements in Civil Actions in the District Court, the Boston Municipal Court, and the Superior Court Effective March 1, 2008 We are pleased to provide you with the following summary of important new requirements affecting every civil action in the 62 courts constituting the Massachusetts District Court and the eight courts constituting the Boston Municipal Court. One of the new requirements also affects money damage actions in the Superior Court. This summary has been prepared by Marc G. Perlin and John M. Connors, co-authors of the Handbook of Civil Procedure in the Massachusetts District Court, Third Edition. These requirements result from recent caselaw from the Supreme Judicial Court and a series of amendments to the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure, effective March 1, 2008. The rule changes apply to all “actions commenced on or after March 1, 2008, and, with respect to pending actions commenced on or after August 31, 2004 [the date that the statewide one-trial system became effective in Massachusetts], the amendments are applicable to procedural steps occurring on or after March 1, 2008” (Order of the Supreme Judicial Court dated November 28, 2007). The full text of the rule changes and the accompanying Reporter’s Notes are included with this Special Alert. A complete analysis of these changes, as well as all of the many other fundamental changes of the past five years, will be provided in the new edition of the Handbook that will be available later this year. 1.

Breyer When I think of Ben Kaplan’s work, I recall a passage in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness.1 Marlow is looking at the wreck of a ship that he needs to proceed upriver. Someone asks in a philosophical tone of voice, what is it that a man needs? What is it that a man wants? Mar- low thinks to himself, “What . did I want? What I really wanted was rivets, by Heaven! Rivets.”2 Why did this passage spring to mind about fifteen years ago when I was asked about Ben’s professional accomplishments? I thought of Conrad in part because Ben, like Felicia, loved to read. They read everything worth reading. And Ben liked Conrad. I thought of Marlow and rivets in part because of Ben’s habit of using metaphors in class.

Publication Date 1994 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California BOOK REVIEW Emancipation: The Making of the Black Lawyer, 1844-1944. By Professor J. Clay Smith, Jr. Foreword by Justice Thurgood Marshall. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press. 1993. Pp. 703. $-. Reviewed by Cynthia R. Mabry* I. INTRODUCrION In Emancipation: The Making of the Black Lawyer, 1844-1944 ("Emancipation"), Dr. J. Clay Smith, Jr.,' a law professor and a prolific writer,2 pens a spellbinding factual narrative of the history of African American lawyers. Dr. Smith identifies hundreds of African American men and women who became lawyers between 1844 and 1944. The social and legal history chronicled in Emancipation begins with the first African American lawyer, Macon Boiling Allen, who was licensed to practice in Maine in 1844. It ends with Rachel E. Pruden-Herndon, the first African American woman admitted to the Georgia bar in 1943. With meticulous detail, Dr. Smith recounts African American attorneys' relent- less efforts to gain admittance to the bar; to earn the respect of white judges, opposing counsel, and jurors who controlled their client's fate; and to emancipate other African Americans. Notable lawyers, like Thurgood Marshall, as well as little-known lawyers, like Lutie Lytle-America's first female law professor-are mentioned. * Associate Professor, West Virginia University College of Law.
