“THE REPORTER” – PAGE 5 Staples Chapter’s Annual Charity Auction a Big Success! On Thursday, February 12th, students at the Washington and Lee School of Law once again showed their generosity, raising over $11,000 during the 2009 Phi Alpha Delta charity auction. The last four auctions together have raised over $50,000 for local charities. Every year P.A.D. members choose a worthy local charity to benefit from the auction. The proceeds from this year's auction will be used to benefit Hoofbeats Therapeutic Riding Center. Hoofbeats is a local, non-profit organization that provides equine-related therapy services for individuals with disabilities and serious illnesses in the Lexington area. In addition to supporting a worthy charity, the Auction is one way in which the law school encourages community participation and service. During the auction, students bid on donations from Law School faculty and staff, the most popular items being dinners and leisure activities with Professors. Some of the auctions most popular items this year included: • Bocce and Bourbon in the Springtime, donated by Professor King. • A reception and cookout for twenty students, donated by Dean Smolla. • A gourmet dinner for 6, donated by Professors Wiant and Massie and served by Professor Scales. • Golf and lunch at the Lexington Country Club with Professors Johnson & Calhoun. • Tickets, including food and drinks, to a Salem Red Sox Game, donated by Professor Luna. • Dinner for 6 students, donated by Professor Howard. LaBrum Chapter News The LaBrum Chapter has had an exciting year beginning with our receiving the Stanley Kohn Best Chapter award! Our fall semester seemed to continue the trend. The LaBrum Chapter’s fall initiation was very memorable as we had a special guest, fellow brother and former Supreme Justice Bob Redding, attend the event. Bob shared his experiences with Phi Alpha Delta and how the fraternity has transformed throughout the many years of his membership. He stressed the importance of forming a strong brotherhood and committing oneself to service, integrity, and professionalism. His words were touching and made our initiation top-notch! Our chapter also held its annual Halloween party to raise money for The Kristin Mitchell Foundation and Kristin’s Krusade, which was founded in memory of a victim of domestic violence. Not only did we raise money for the foundation, but we also raised awareness of domestic violence. It was truly special to have Kristin’s parents attend the event and share their appreciation with the fraternity and other supporters. The LaBrum Chapter is looking forward to providing more exciting events for our members to attend. We are also excited to grow in membership and bond as a chapter through up and coming events. We will be hosting an etiquette dinner this spring in order to prepare brothers for future dinner interviews and business gatherings. We are also excited about our spring initiation and hope to have another alumnus attend. SOverall, it has been a very active and exciting year and the LaBrum Chapter is striving to continue the tradition!

UNLV Pre-Law The Pre-Law Chapter at the University of Nevada has had a great year thus far. Last semester we initiated 14 new members, nearly doubling our size! To keep our new members involved we continued our weekly speaker series which includes local attorneys from diverse legal fields and specialties, all chosen on member input. All members were invited to several socials and we had a very successful community service event with Habitat for Humanity. We also took a trip to McGeorge Law School in Sacramento, sat in on a class, took a tour of the school and met with Admissions Representatives. This semester is turning out to be just as amazing so far! For our speaker series we’ve had an ACLU lawyer, an International lawyer, the head of the National Judicial College and several of our P.A.D. sisters, Megan Nunn, Miranda Mahe and Nice Cannizzaro from Boyd School of Law who are interning at the State Legislature. It was a great opportunity to learn about how important P.A.D. can be in your law school experience. Some of our upcoming events for this semester include community service at the Northern Nevada Food Bank, a trip to the Boyd School of Law with Northern Arizona University P.A.D. members and finally, an End of the Year Reception with all of our past participants in the speaker series. This year would not have possible without our dedicated officers; Taylor Anderson, Jaci Millsap, Oscar Peralta, Renne Maxfield, Chelsea Nelson and our advisor Julie Lentz. All of our events are listed on our new website www.nevadaprelaw.org.

“THE REPORTER” – PAGE 25 Chicago Alumni Chapter Hosts an Evening to Remeber By John K. Norris An Installation of new Chicago Alumni Chapter officers for 2009 was held and was immediately followed by the Honorary Initiation ceremony of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan on February 25, 2009. The ceremonies, which were held in the Illinois Supreme Court in Chicago, were elegant and the room was crowded to over capacity at 70 people. The ceremonies began near 4:00 P.M. Attorney General Madigan seemed duly impressed by the formality of the Initiation ceremony in which Illinois

ONLINE EXCLUSIVES Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke and U.S. District Court Chief Judge Judge James Holderman were involved. Justice Burke and Judge Holderman are both members of Phi Alpha Delta. CAC Justice Michele Jochner, CAC Clerk Nicole Kopinski, CAC Treasurer James Erwin, CAC Board members John K. Norris and Charlie McCarthy also participated in the initiation ritual. At 5:00 P.M. on the same day, the Chicago Alumni Chapter in conjunction with the Blackstone Chapter and the Chicago-Kent College of Law held its annual Judges’ Night Reception at Chicago-Kent where our newest sister, Lisa Madigan, was honored for her contributions. Lisa’s plaque read:

In recognition of her adherence to the purpose and principles of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity International, for her contributions to the legal community and to the People of the State of Illinois, the Chicago Alumni Chapter proudly bestows this MERITORIOUS LEGAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD to our highly regarded and newest sister LISA M. MADIGAN Illinois Attorney General at the P.A.D. Judges’ Night Reception, held at Chicago-Kent College of Law

At the Judges’ Night reception held at Kent, was a huge success, with almost 200 judges, lawyers and students attending. Based on their remarks, everyone had a wonderful time! After accepting the award, talking with the attendees and taking photos with many, the Attorney General said good night and left Judges’ Night to tend to some unfinished business at her office. What a surprise to all who remained until the end because Sister Madigan came back from her office to say good night one last time and graciously posed for pictures with several groups of students! One might wonder what was the reason the Attorney General left before she came back from her office? The answer many saw on the following day’s news or read it in the papers that the AG “issued a formal opinion late last night that claims holding a special election for Barack Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat is perfectly legal, even if Sen. Roland Burris refuses to resign.” (Capitol Fax- Political Intelligence by Rich Miller- Feb. 26, 2009). The Chicago Sun- Times also ran a big story.

By Philip Apruzzese, Justice, Kenison Chapter On March 14, 2009, 10 brave law students shaved their heads to raise over a thousand dollars supporting St. Baldrick’s and the fight to end childhood cancer. The Draft in Concord, NH hosted the event that started at 5:30 p.m. and went on for the better part of the evening. Through donations and the proceeds of a bake sale the Kenison Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta at Franklin Pierce Law Center raised over $1,000 to support childhood cancer research. Brian Doigan, said the reason he agreed to have his head shaved was, “It’s heartbreaking to see children go through cancer, and this was an easy and fun way to raise money to support Before research to end their suffering. And I’ve wanted to shave my head since I was a little kid, but my mom never let me.” Organizer of the Kenison Chapter’s participation for the second year in a row, Justice Phil Apruzzese said his participation stems from when he found out about the fundraiser only a few days in advance last year. “I participated by myself and raised a few hundred dollars,” he said. “In part I did this because I wanted to help defeat childhood cancer and in part I did this because I wanted to show my mother that she was not alone while she was fighting her own cancer.” Apruzzese said he felt it was a positive event for P.A.D. members to participate in. “As a P.A.D. Justice this year I realized I could try to recruit P.A.D. members to help raise money for childhood cancer research. We were able to get ten shavees, both P.A.D. and non-P.A.D. members, to raise over $1,000. This year I dedicated my shave to my mother who lost her battle with cancer this past October.”
