Dear Alumni:

Last June when I was sworn in as President of the Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association, I knew the coming year would be challenging and satisfying. However, I did not anticipate how rewarding it would be to work alongside such dedicated men and women as our officers and Trustees have been. The kind of commitment they bring to this organization is testimony to what this law school has meant to all of us and to the caliber of our graduates. During my term, I chose to focus my energies on building our scholarship resources, and I proposed a fund-raising benefit, specifically an auction. Thanks to the ever-generous President-Elect Gary Adams '83, we were able to hold our benefit in November at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum in an elegant hall, surrounded by one of the finest car and airplane collections in the country. I wish to especially thank Stacey McKinley '97, who chaired the benefit and worked so hard to make it a success. The spirit was invigorating and the silent auction exciting, with one sensational item after another -- from football memorabilia donated by Judge Dick Ambrose '87 to a coveted print donated by Gloria Plevin. I am glad to report that we raised over $10,000 in scholarship money. This enabled us to award ten $1,000 scholarships to deserving law students, rather than ten $500 ones. Serving as President was educational, an eye-opener, in fact. I think we do not always realize how embedded CMLAA is in the life of the law school, how important our men­ tors are in building confidence among first-year students, or how substantial alumni contributions are to networking, placement and fund-raising activities. I certainly never grasped the breadth of responsibilities invested in a single office, "manned" by two tire­ less women, Mary McKenna and Jill McDonnell. I thank them both. I also thank all of you for the help and goodwill you have offered me during this year. It has been a wonderful experience and an honor.

Sincerely,

12 Law Notes A building open to the world The old, fortress-like law building closed in on itself; the new law school opens out­ wards toward Cleveland's historic main street in an architectural gesture that is perhaps symbolic of this law school 's his­ toric engagement with the city and world outside us, now captured in stone, glass, and mortar. Euclid Avenue has itself undergone extensive restorations: Cleveland buses resembling trolley cars will soon cruise up and down newly paved streets from Public Square to University Circle, picking up passengers along the way at smart bus stop shelters designed by world-renowned Cleveland architect Robert Madison. The city's midtown corridor is being reborn right outside our windows, and renovations throughout Cleveland State University are promising landmarks of Cleveland's regeneration. We, also, are part of the regeneration, and, today, the law school, like the Nance School of Business and the Levin College of Urban Affairs, has an open, welcoming look- a look that reaches out toward the future. In the University, in the city, in the world, we are at home. LFM

Cleveland-Marshall rocks The law school has a new art installation on the green outside the l 9'h Street entrance to the Law Library. "Reflect/Radiate/Accumulate" is a sculpture in three parts: two large boulders and a vertical steel structure, created by Wisconsin husband-and-wife public artists Andrea Myklebust and Stanton Sears. The sculpture was funded by Ohio's One Percent for Art Program and commissioned by a University committee that included Cleveland-Marshall Professor Brian Glassman. The two large rocks were mined from Canadian gneiss and weigh many tons; the vertical steel installation and the surfaces of the two boulders were hand carved by the sculptors. According to the artists' website, "This group of two large natural boulders carved with abstract water patterns and a water­ jet cut metal element makes reference to characteristics of the law: that law is a reflection of the society that creates it, that a single case can have effects far beyond an original ruling, and that the body of case law grows and accu­ mulates over time." The Myklebust & Sears couple have also created large public sculptures in Iowa, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Minnesota and elsewhere in Ohio.

Spring 2008 13 McFadden, Shawn Romer, Adam Saurwein, and Judson Stelter, altogether an academically accomplished group of student leaders. The law school first began asking our grad­ uating classes to solicit their classmates for pledges and gifts to the annual fund several years ago. The Wolstein challenge brought new urgency to the students' endeavors, and the Class of 2006, led by Keller Blackburn, Paul Castillo, Brendan Healy, Robert Koury and Amy Ryder Wentz, responded generously. The 2007 Graduation Challenge student leaders were also successful. Many of our law students graduate burdened with undergraduate and law school tuition debts. And thus when students in their final school years solicit their fellow students for funds to increase scholarship resources, they have a compelling argument at hand. The leaders of the 2008 Graduate Challenge had something else as well: Overnight, they became entrepre­ I neurs, planning from the opening days of the school year fund-raising strategies: open houses, letter-writing campaigns, auctions, lunches, and raffles, including priceless tickets to Indians games. They created t-shirts reading "Invest in CM; Invest in You" and wore them throughout the campaign. For two days in April, they spon­ sored "Dean's Doubling Days," on which Dean Mearns pledged to match every gift of $25 or more up to $2,500. And, for the first time ever, the Graduation Our Class Challenge group- with generous support from Gary Adams '83, President-Elect of the Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association­ was able to offer all donors of $50 or more an of 2008 evening riverboat cruise with refreshments and entertainment.

Spring 2008 23 A Collaboration of Like Minds: Professor Kathleen C. Engel and Professor Patricia A. McCoy

Cleveland-Marshall Professor Kathleen C. Engel and her former la school colleague, Professor Patricia A. McCoy, began collaborating on articles on the impli­ cations of suoprime lending in academic journals in 2001, years before it registered on the minds of ordinary Americans as an impending crisis and years before it had spread like a lethal virus across the continents- from Wall Street to Threadneedle Street to villages in coun­ tries as far away as Norway and Australia. Seven years later, in our own country, citizens on every level of the income scale have lost jobs, defaulted on mortgages, and lost access to credit. Few American neighborhoods, businesses and families have escaped fallout from the subprime-lending debacle, and today what began as a virus approaches a financial pandemic, almost unquantifi­ able in its devastation. The Engel-McCoy collaboration is exceptional, an alliance of mutual respect and compatible exper­ tise. Professor McCoy's authority in banking law and Professor Engel's in consumer law and civil rights have infonned numerous articles-I I so far- elucidating the complex integration of financial markets, behavioral economics, and the egregious self-interest that engi­ neered the global crisis. Today, the scholarly alliance between these two tal­ ented women is as vigorous as ever, with four articles published or forthcoming this year and a book in preparation on the origins of the subprime crisis, various failures in the law and market, and the layers of missed opportunities that might have averted tragedy. Patricia McCoy is a graduate of Oberlin College and the University of California at Berkeley (Boalt Hall); she is now the George J. and Helen M. England Professor

Spring 2008 25 Four New Professorships

law school's reputation rests, in part, on the accomplishments ofits faculty-on the gifts its teachers bring to the classroom and on the contributions they make to the literature oflaw. In their teaching, law faculty share one goal: to educate lawyers ofconscience. In their scholarship, their single goal is to define justice wherever its nature is in dispute: from criminal law to international law to space . In that American courts often rely on faculty scholarship in making their determinations, the scholarship of law faculties throughout the country strengthens our justice system. One of the ways in which the academy acknowledges outstanding teachers and scholars is by awarding them named professorships. Cleveland-Marshall has four named professorships. Each ofours has a personal component: Three were created by our graduates, and the fourth was created by John Deaver Drinko, Ohio's greatest legal education philanthropist. This spring, Dean Geoffrey S. Mearns announced the new named professors.
