on our nation’s wounds. During the protests in Wash- ington, DC, his heavy-handed clearing of protesters and staging of photo opportunities before two prominent and historic churches drew widespread revulsion and sharp criticism from both the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, Mariann Budde, and the archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, Wilton Gregory, who happen to be the first woman and first Afri- can American, respectively, to hold their positions. Archbishop Gregory found it “baffling and reprehen- sible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously manipulated and misused in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people, even those with whom we disagree.” He reminds us of the very same values that animate the Boston College Law School community, and signals to us what we are called to do in this moment. We cannot continue to allow some in our society to dehumanize and divide us if we are to have any hope of preserving our democracy. The law is our best tool for reclaiming our country as a place where all people can participate in shaping our common life, and in which no one is simply an instrument for the acquisition of wealth or power by others.

A NOVEL STUDY OF A GREAT JUDGE

Professor Catharine Wells, an expert on American pragmatism, has written a new study of Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. One reviewer described Oliver Wendell Holmes: A Willing Servant to an Unknown God as “elegantly written and filled with sparkling insight about the inner life of one of America’s greatest judges.” Another wrote: “Wells successfully reimagines Holmes’s life and work in the

Copyright Subtleties Professor Yen offers nuanced look into the law. BY CLEA SIMON

The Idea: Extending copyright law to cover the internet requires that courts look deeper into underlying policies in order to decide which rationale from the law of tort applies: strict liability or fault-based liability.

The Impact: The internet has in- creased the speed and facility of disseminating all kinds of copyrighted material, including literature, music, and movies—often without permission. As Professor Alfred C. Yen explains, in the pre-internet world, copyright owners whose rights had been in- fringed upon would most likely have sued the individuals directly responsi- ble for distributing copyrighted works without authorization. However, in the internet era, it may be difficult to locate the precise person responsible or that person might be located outside the United States. In addition, one single person might not have the financial re- sources to fully compensate a copyright holder for the damages of copyright infringement, making this traditional recourse ultimately unsatisfactory. In response, copyright holders have begun suing internet service providers for infringement committed by their users, drawing on established law that at times holds one party re- sponsible for copyright infringement committed by another. The result has been a series of narrowly focused deci- sions that do not answer the funda- POCKET RÉSUMÉ mental strict liability or fault-based Degrees BS, MA, Stanford University; JD, Harvard.

A Drug’s Journey How lawyers make cures happen.

As the world’s scientists race to find a vaccine for Covid- 19, all eyes are on the biopharmaceutical indus- try. The time, money, and human resources needed to bring new drugs to market are enormous. Even before the pandemic hit, pharma was big business, growing by leaps and bounds to keep up with the burgeoning demand for treatments and cures for a host of diseases.

MINISCULE IN SIZE AS COVID-19 IS (125 NANOMETERS), IT HAS BECOME A COLLOSAL DISRUPTER FORCING AN EPIC STANDOFF BETWEEN NATURE AND HUMANKIND. The collateral damage is breathtaking: deaths in the millions, racial despair, economic collapse, global divisions, populist uprisings, political fractures. The job of teachers and scholars is to search for meaning in such moments, to offer lessons from history, and to point the way forward. For professors of law, that means looking through the lenses of ethics, equality, rights, justice, governance, and more in an effort to make sense of what is happening and why. We asked these questions of the Boston College Law School faculty and what emerged is The Vision Project, a collection of some 40 interviews—condensed on these pages and expanded online—on went wrong and how we might make things right.

When the CDC later issued furlough requirements for those who returned from travel to these Level 3 countries, we were literally pulling people out of work during the same day that these require- ments were issued. The travel data were an invaluable means of protecting our patients and workers. Our basic strategy was highly focused on implementing key CDC guidelines. The danger of trying to reduce all poten- tial risks to zero is that you will not priori- tize the safety interventions that will have the most substantial impact. We took the more practical approach of emphasiz- ing five key CDC recommendations and implementing them exceedingly well. So, we emphasized respiratory hygiene, washing your hands, physical distancing, and a masking policy that required both patients and employees to wear surgical masks. Shortly after initiating universal masking, we saw a substantial decrease in the number of infections among our health care workers.

How would you fix this? Change the tone at the top. We have a president who’s failed to disclose his own business interests and conflicts of interest. When the president is acting that way, it’s not surprising that other government officials would follow suit. Typically, shaming works to deter this kind of behavior, but not at this time, with this president. Others, including officeholders and business leaders, have followed the president’s example, figuring they can get away with it.

What have the viral and racial crises revealed about employment laws? It is more important than ever to understand how the disparate statutory and regu- latory regimes have worked together to systemically limit economic mobility. While the New Deal has been heralded as marshaling in a broad social safety net to place a floor on how dire circumstances can get for most Americans through economic crises, that foundational structure of protections—labor protec- tions, minimum wage and maximum hour laws, social security, unemploy- ment, and other protections—was deeply discriminaory. It was riddled with excep- tions that excluded occupations in which African Americans were predominantly employed. This placed a legal restraint on those workers’ economic mobility while white Americans were able to use social insurance and the broadened social safety net to ward off poverty and secure their status in the emerging middle class. That legacy is still with us.

Do you see opportunities for advancing economic justice? If there is any silver lining, it is in the generation of tremen- dous, innovative ideas for restructuring fundamental aspects of our social order to ensure economic justice.

In addition to our misconceptions about the absoluteness of our rights, this moment also exposes how narrow our rights are. Many countries have a much more robust set of positive rights: to health care, to a dignified economic baseline of living. Here in the US we don’t think of those things as rights. But economic rights, the right to be safe from violence, and the right to be able to call your doctor when your kids get sick are at least as important to most people’s lives as more traditional constitutional rights. So, on the one hand, our political rhetoric makes the rights we do have seem absolute. On the other, the rights we actually do enjoy in the United States are extremely thin and incomplete— because what really concerns most Americans during this pandemic are RIGHTS things the Constitution has very little WHAT ARE OUR RIGHTS? / to say about.

Summer 2020 BC LAW MAGAZINE 29 THE VISION PROJECT A BETTER W AY Q+A PROFESSOR DANIEL FARBMAN / Unleash the power of a participatory conception of the rule of law.

What has the pandemic revealed about the rule of law’s responsiveness in crises? That depends how you define the rule of law. By one definition, the rule of law involves institutional continuity and fidelity to the rules and norms built around those institutions. This “stabil- ity” conception has been eroding since Election Day 2016, and now, with the pandemic and protests, the process has accelerated. We see and feel the instability that is rocking the institutions that define a stability conception of the rule of law. But there’s another way of thinking about rule of law. I’m drawn to a “partici- patory” conception, in which our fidel- ity to law is expressed in a prolonged commitment to, and participation in, debate and struggle over the most fraught and divisive issues. Consider two transformational moments. In the 1850s, the compromise that had upheld slavery was dissolving. Then, with the Civil War, slavery collapsed. The war was not a product of anarchy but of a cataclysmic national debate. We could understand the war and the new, more

They and their multi-million dollar shenanigans made headlines, inspired entire books and films, and still resonate: In February of 2020, Michael Milken was pardoned by President Trump. The cases changed the world of corporate finance. “I think it created a culture of com- pliance in the financial services industry that had not existed before. Before these cases, no

The news service Law360 reported that EDVA litigated its way to the nation’s shortest average duration from file to trial in 2019—for the eleventh year in a row. “Our case went from complaint to a trial in seventeen months,” says Gould. “Anybody who’s ever tried complex litigation knows that is ex- tremely fast. When you think about it in the context of a case this big, it feels even faster. And years shorter, on average, than the time between complaint and trial for civil litigation in this country. What does that mean for us? It means we work very, very hard.” Our story begins with a scrappy rink rat who never met a hockey game he wouldn’t skate to win. A Vermont native, Gould mostly grew up near Chicago, but returned to New England to attend Phillips Exeter Academy, where he played ice hockey. A 5-foot-9 and 165-pound shoot-first right winger with a knack for finding the back of the net, Gould still plays the game in what he calls a “beer league.” “Put it this way, I would never have been up to the task of playing at the level of BC as an undergrad (or even Williams College, where I went), but I’ve always come at things from that offensive angle, which can be a helpful attribute if you do a lot of work in the plaintiffs’ bar.” Sony v. Cox was definitively a drop-your-gloves sort of legal ac- tion. Discovery, alone, became a deluge of documentary analysis and depositions. On the final day of the window, Gould conducted a 3 a.m. deposition via videoconference of an anti-piracy software engineer in Vilnius, Lithuania. That concluded a wild stretch during which the Oppenheim + Zebrak (O+Z) team executed thirty-nine depos in forty- five business days, including double- and triple-tracking offensive, defensive, and third-party depositions across the country and around the globe on any given day.

After earning his BS and MS in Civil Engineering from MIT, anticipating he would go into business, Champy chose BC Law as the next step. “I made a specific choice to go to law school rather than business school because I felt that I would learn more,” he says, noting that the demands of law school challenged him to think at a higher level. “The disciplined thinking you have to do in the practice of law helped me enormously in business.” Champy’s time at BC Law shaped his career and the way he lived his life.

People went off and were successful but so much of that thinking began in that cafeteria, not just in the classroom.” After BC Law, Champy became one of the “I support the Law School because I see it as fulfilling an important role in society: founders and the CEO of Index, a $200 million graduating young lawyers with a high sense of purpose to provide for the needy.” consulting practice, and then chairman of Dell JIM CHAMPY Perot Systems’ consulting arm.

pandemic about isolation, economic insecu- rity, and our longing for connection, when we extrapolate to the global. From this perspec- tive, the world consists of eight billion people wanting mostly the same things: life and health for their families and communities, strong social bonds, and economic relations that build opportunity and prosperity. What does this mean at the level of trade policy and global economic structures? I think this also calls for an act of remembering. In our daily lives we all understand the differ- ence between consensual economic exchang- es (even if they ultimately disappoint us), and transactions that are coerced or exploitative. And yet when we come to the global economy, we too often label as “trade” something that is predatory, coercive, or exploitative. Unfortunately, the current US admin- istration has made coercion a signature of its approach to our transnational economic relationships, threatening or imposing illegal tariffs, for example, to force concessions from key allies like Canada, Mexico, and Korea. No one denies the need for trade to be a mutually beneficial bargain, but such tactics don’t make trade “fair”—they aren’t even trade at all, but Trade You something darker and more oppressive, which over time makes everyone more vulnerable Growing better transnational relationships.
