assumed that she had stolen it. The housekeeper was dismissed, and his mother quickly spread the word that the woman was dishonest, which made it impossible for her to find another job in one of the few types of employment available to black women. Haunted by his failure to speak up and desperate to make amends, the man finally told the story to NPR in the hope that someone might recognize his name or the housekeeper’s. The reporter airing the segment noted at the end that the entire studio had been moved to tears, as was I. There are many lessons we can draw from this story. One in particular strikes me: What we say, or what we fail to say, can change the course of someone’s life. Words can heal, and words can destroy. What is undeniably true is that words matter. An essential tool in a lawyer’s craft is language. Words both written and spoken are at the heart of what every lawyer does. So much of an attorney’s work involves in- terpreting what people say or have failed to say and, then, reckoning with the consequences. In the wake of a divisive US presidential campaign, I am reminded of the power of words. President Trump made many extraordinary statements en route to the White House, and Americans’ reactions to those words varied dramatically. Some chose to ignore them or to empty his words of meaning. For others, it was not pos- The Choice sible to dismiss what had been said. For them, words Words are malleable.

He seemed like he had life infused into him. Seeing how much I was able to change that case was probably my number one accomplish- ment in law school.

At the Children’s Law Center of Massachusetts this past summer, I was working on immigration cases, with kids who don’t even speak our language, and have no idea what their rights are or how to effectively navigate the legal system. It helped me to see that law school was really the right choice for me, because though the empathet- ic part of me wanted to smother them with hugs, I was in a position where I could do something even better, to be the catalyst for the changes that will give them the resources they need.

A Charitable Sleight of Hand Madoff launches an effort to fix the wrongs of donor-advised funds. BY DAVID REICH

The Idea: The tax rules on charitable contributions should be redrawn; the current rules, notably those for donor-advised funds (DAFs), confer huge benefits on the wealthy and the financial industry while depriving charities and government of sorely needed cash. Since 2011, Professor Ray Madoff has been spotlighting the problem through articles on DAFs in publications ranging from Tax Notes to the New York Times and the New York Review of Books. She’s also been conven- ing experts from academia, government, and philanthropies to discuss how the tax code treats charitable giving at events held by the Forum on Philanthropy and the Public Good, which she directs and which she cofounded in 2014 with Professor William Bagley.

Congressman Bobby Scott ’73, Virginia, 3rd District “We need evidence-based policy, not laws based on slogans and sound bites instead of research. We need to engage community leaders in education, law enforcement, health services, and other fields to identify real solutions to our problems. This is the best path to creating good effective policy. I’m proud of my work to create jobs, increase access to health care, improve education and economic opportunity, and promote evidence-based crime prevention strategies. One of my proudest accomplishments was working on the Affordable Care Act, expanding access to health insurance for millions of Americans.”

Congressman Michael E. Capuano ’77, Massachusetts, 7th District “I’m proud to have earned a seat at the table to serve my constituents.

Congressman Jared Huffman ’90, California, 2nd District “We can look to the teaching of Pope Francis for values to guide us, including kindness, inclusive- ness, and tolerance, especially of immigrants and the politically disadvantaged. I also believe strongly in protecting our environment as good stewards of the Earth. We have to build coalitions to protect our core values, but it will be an uphill fight with respect to immigration issues in particular.”

K ATHLEEN T OOMEY ’99 The Civil Rights Division’s “managing partner” pushes innovation and boosts morale. Kathleen Toomey entered law school with the hope of someday working for the Civil Rights Division of the US Department of Justice. Today, she’s the division’s chief of staff. “I’ve always been passionate about the mission of the Civil Rights Division,” Toomey says. “As a child, I was interested in history, and civil rights was the part that most interested me.… I was always amazed by the bravery exhibited by normal people in extraordinary circumstances.” As chief of staff, she’s like a managing partner, ensuring the division’s smooth operation. To that end, she has launched an “innovation initiative” that aims to improve the division’s work product. One example: The division often litigates a case with multiple victims. The initiative has zeroed in on the letters the division sends to possible victims, explaining the case P RATT and how to benefit from the W ILEY ’06 settlement.

REUNION WEEKEND 2016

The weekend of November 4-5, jam packed with campus tours, lectures, panel discussions, law reviews, receptions and—biggest of all—class dinners, broke attendance records, drawing nearly 700 people to campus and the Ritz-Carlton in Boston. Celebrating classes ending in 1 and 6, reunion festivities began Fri- day afternoon with open classrooms; grads got to sit in on professors Mark Spiegel and George Brown’s civil procedure classes. Some attendees took a private tour of BC’s new McMullen Museum of Art, housed in the former residence of Boston’s Cardinal Arch- bishop, to view an exhibition of il- luminated manuscripts that received raves in the national press. In cooperation with BC Law’s Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy, the reunion included a panel of leading experts on terrorism. Later, Walter Kelly ’68, who was featured in the Netflix mega-hitMaking a Mur- derer, gave the keynote address at the Alumni Assembly. Saturday began with a meeting of the Black Alumni Network followed by a panel on post-election predic- tions moderated by Tom Melville ’86 of WBUR. An intimate reception for Dean’s Council giving society members preceded reunion dinners that lasted well into the evening.

What Matters Most Survey offers new insights into the Law School community. 1 2 In April 2016, BC Law surveyed alumni, parents, and friends for their views of the community. More than 1,270 people replied. The survey found that the community sees BC Law as having a strong regional and national reputation and that members value academic excellence above all other characteristics. Participants also emphasized the importance of BC Law’s job placement rate, which has been more than 90 percent in recent years. The majority also said they would like to become more involved with BC Law. As a result of this, the Advancement Office plans 3 4 to expand the reach of its local and national events, enhance the alumni-student mentor program, and develop a wider range of volunteer opportunities. The Law School has also improved its online volunteer information and will create a volunteer manual with advice on how alumni, parents, and friends can encourage their peers to deepen their investment in BC Law. “BC Law is fortunate to have such a devoted community of supporters who are eager to give back to the school,” said Dean Vincent Rougeau. “I am pleased to see our advancement team rise to the call of our alumni to increase the ways that our graduates 5 6 can stay involved, and I’m eager to see the impact our alumni will have on BC Law in the years to come.” The survey confirmed that keeping audiences well informed is key to ensuring that they remain engaged. Additionally, respon- dents said they were more likely to make a gift to BC Law when they felt up-to-date on the latest happenings at the school. “We are hard at work developing ways to expand our outreach in order to connect with our community in more thoughtful, personal- ized ways,” said Jessica Cashdan, executive director of campaign 7 8 planning and associate dean of law school advancement. “Thank you for your feedback—and please continue to share your ideas by contacting our alumni relations staff at [email protected].”

major obstacle to reform. So, it could be argued, are police unions, which jealously shield their ranks from outside scrutiny. As much as police may believe that their culture should be preserved, neither they nor their communities will be safe without an honest coming to terms with reality. In my years of teaching criminal procedure, I have come to understand the reasons for the wall of silence. Police are somewhat isolated. Their social context, aside from their families, is commonly limited to fellow officers. On the job, they contend with dangerous events and need to rely on each other for their safety. The patrol officer has a lot of discretion and authority to deal with circumstances on the ground. Supervising officers have come up through the ranks and share the same experience as patrol officers. The mix of isolation, danger, and authority lends itself to an extremely closed culture. Police unions feed into this same ethos. In search of possible solutions, I went to Trinity College Dublin to study the culture of Ireland’s national police force, the Garda, which was founded on a respect- ful principle expressed by its first commissioner, Michael Staines, in 1921: “We will succeed not by force of arms but on our moral authority as servants of the people.” Since 2000, several fact-finding commissions investigating the allegation of a whistleblower found corruption in the force. With previously high public confidence wan- ing, the legislature created three independent mecha- nisms to address the corruption and promote transparency within the Garda. Although progress has been made, the road ahead is long. The ‘Wall of Silence’ as Shield The Garda is the only police force in the Republic of When police guard themselves, communities suffer.

72 BC LAW MAGAZINE Winter 2017 Illustration by ALEX NABAUM I grew up in a tuition-free boarding school for fatherless boys and was the beneficiary of generous scholarship aid in college and at Boston College Law School. The aid made a tremendous difference in the quality of my life, both as a youth and as an adult.

BC Law provided me with an educational experience and a career I’ve loved. For me, it’s far more of a pleasure than an obligation to give back.

Creating a charitable remainder trust was an easy way to make a substantial gift to BC Law that concurrently played an important part in my own retirement planning—it enabled me to do well by doing good. I encourage others to look closely into this excellent way to achieve philanthropic and personal financial goals.”
