ALUMNI TAKE ON KBR, MANDATORY ARBITRATION

By Dyanna Stupar

Stephanie Morris ’00 knows what it’s like to be the victim of a sex crime. She was eighteen years old when she was kidnapped, raped, shot, and thrown into a river. She pretended to be dead in order to survive the attack. On the way to the emergency room she nearly died. For days local news sources reported on the attack as investigators tried to find the person who turned Morris’ life into a horror story. Eventually the perpetrator was found, arrested, and imprisoned. An attorney helped Morris obtain civil justice through a premises liability claim.

Jennifer Young: INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS ADVOCATE

By Pam Knowlton

Jennifer Young ’05 is a woman on the move. As director of international public and government affairs at Novartis Corporation, she travels extensively across Latin America, Eu- rope, Asia, and the Middle East. In the course of one week, her work recently took her to Turkey, Belgium, and Switzerland. Working in international settings and across cultures is one of her favorite aspects of her work, and doing so requires flexibility. “In my opinion, the most important skills for working in diverse environments and in different cultural settings are to be a good listener, and to be adaptable when developing strategies and approaches for local contexts,” Young said. “For example, although Novartis faces similar policy challenges globally, there are nuances to issues in specific markets. Thus, an approach that is effective in Europe may not resonate in Latin America. I try to apply a principled approach taking into account the needs of key stakeholders when responding to policy challenges based on corporate policy positions, and adapt approaches to reflect the political, legisla- tive, and business environment of the specific market in question.” Young’s position primarily focuses on supporting Novartis operations within Latin Amer- ica and Canada. As governments are increasingly faced with budget pressures and often seek to cut biopharmaceutical spending, she works to develop strategies for Novartis that demonstrate 16 Penn State University Dickinson School of Law • law.psu.edu P093_Lex_Layout 1 6/18/12 1:19 PM Page 17

MARK POLIN: NEW LIFE, NEW CAREER

By Crystal Stryker and Dyanna Stupar

Dr. Mark S. Polin ’10 has devoted his career to helping women. As an OBGYN in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, he delivered about 2,000 babies and focused his practice on treating infertility and performing advanced laparoscopic and vaginal surgery. In the fall of 2002 his life changed forever. He burned his right hand while working at home the day before Thanks- giving. The newborn delivery he had done the day before would turn out to be his last. He endured four hand surgeries and painful skin grafts to save the tips of his fingers, and while he was able to return to full-time office practice, the scar- ring and nerve damage precluded his returning to the operating and delivery rooms. Frustrated by his inability to perform surgery and provide the comprehensive care for which he trained, Dr. Polin de- cided to follow his eldest son, then a student at William and Mary Law School, into the legal profession. Dr. Polin graduated (again) in 2010, having earned his undergraduate degree at Penn State in 1978. continued on page 20

Caroline West ’85 is Senior Vice President, Chief Compliance and Risk Oﬃcer for Shire Pharmaceuticals, a global corporation that earned revenues exceeding $4.2 billion last year. She is responsible for compliance, risk management, corporate security, health, safety, and environmental functions. We caught up with her at her home in Philadel‐ phia to learn more about her career path, her advice for new attorneys, and her perspective on being part of pharmaceutical innovation.

The Company Shire has three business components that focus on 1) specialty pharmaceuticals currently focused in the CNS and GI areas 2) human genetic therapies for rare diseases such as Gaucher Disease and Hunters Syndrome and 3) regenera- tive medicine, with a treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.

What do you do? We have about 5,500 employees, which is more than double what we had when I started in 2005 and I wear a few more hats now than I did then. The functions I lead cover a wide range of risk areas facing a global pharmaceutical company. In the compliance areas, my team focuses on assuring that we have in place the right policies, training, monitoring, and audit to assure our stakeholders that our products are marketed

WHY I TEACH

Q&A with Eileen Kane

Professor Eileen Kane holds a Ph.D. in biology from Cornell University. After her career in the lab she obtained a J.D. and worked as a scientiﬁc advisor and patent attorney in New York City before joining the Law School.

How do you explain your research? My career in general is at the intersection of law and science, drawing on my knowledge and training in both fields. I became a scientist first and a lawyer second. My technical background is in the life sciences, particularly molecular biology and biotechnology. In the last few years I’ve focused on patenting in the genetic sciences, questions such as the patenting of genes and the patenting of some laboratory testing methods. These kinds of patents raise the basic issue of whether or not patenting gets too close to and crosses a forbidden line in patent law. You’re not supposed to be able to patent laws of nature or basic scientific facts.

Featured Faculty ENFORCING Scholarship INTEGRITY

By Katrice Bridges Copeland

In 2010, Public Citizen’s Health Research Group crowned the pharmaceutical industry “the biggest defrauder of the federal government,” as it surpassed the defense industry in False Claims Act recoveries for the first time in history. This dubious distinction is largely due to the illegal promotional activities of pharmaceutical manufacturers, such as dis- tributing information on unapproved uses of their drugs and paying kickbacks to doctors to induce them to prescribe those drugs. In part, the large recoveries are due to the fact that the government has put the marketing practices of large pharmaceutical companies, like Pfizer, under a microscope. The government spends years investigating and building cases against pharmaceutical manufacturers

Katrice Bridges Copeland is a scholar of health care that engage in illegal promotional activities to fraud and abuse and white collar crime.

Instead, the government enters into Penn State she was an associate with Sidley Austin in Corporate Integrity Agreements (CIAs) with Washington, D.C.

If a pharmaceutical manufacturer enters into a CIA, the manufacturer will not be ex- cluded from participation in federal health care programs, such as Medicare and Medi- caid, as they would upon conviction in most cases. Medicare and Medicaid are significant sources of revenue for pharmaceutical manufacturers. In return for remaining eligible for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, the

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT PURSUES A SUMMER OF SERVICE Holly Moncavage ’13 learned about community values as a child. Her grandparents owned a pharmacy in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, where she dusted shelves and performed other small jobs. There, she was inspired by her grandparents’ example of taking care of people. “My grandparents gave everyone their medication, even when they could not afford to pay,” she said. “When they died, we found so many IOUs.” Moncavage has carried this lesson with her and hopes to use her legal training to help others, particularly those who are marginalized in society. She is able to pursue her dreams of a career in public interest law with assistance from The Dickinson School of Law Scholar- ship Fund, which is supported by donations from alumni and friends who have earmarked their gifts for student scholarship support. “The scholarship aid This summer Moncavage is getting a head start on her public inter- I receive makes it est career through a Peggy Browning Fellowship at the Workplace feasible for me to get Project in New York, New York.
