Law school jumps five places in rankings Case Western Reserve University School of Law climbed five places in the U.S News and World Report rankings released last spring. It is now 59th, an improvement of nine spots over the past two years.

In the rankings of specialty areas, the health law program remained in the top ten at No. 9, and the international law program improved four places to No. 11.

The overall increase came thanks to improvements in five key categories: bar pass rate, rates of students employed nine months after graduation, selectivity, and incoming students' median GPAs and LSAT scores.

"Faculty and staff have concentrated on all these categories in recent years,” Deans Jessica Berg and Michael Scharf said. “It is immensely rewarding to see that work produce measurable results.”

But she was confident in one thing about her uncanny way and finds her lifelong passion future: “I didn’t want to be a secretary,” she says. in immigration law She grew up in a poor German family that immigrated to Brooklyn Heights, NY when her mother was 12. The first in her family to finish high school – let alone college – Scott graduated from Vassar with a degree in psychology, not knowing what career to pursue.

For a time, Scott contemplated being a French teacher. But as she was job hunting, she stumbled upon an advertisement for a German and French speaking paralegal at what is now the Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy law firm in New York. She knew enough of the languages from her upbringing and some schooling, and she figured she could pick up the legal know-how along the way.

“That’s basically how I got the job at Fragomen,” Scott said.

Her boss at the time, Austin Fragomen, is a founding partner at Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy and a 1968 graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Law. The firm is rated No. 1 in immigration law, and Fragomen, among his numerous accolades, co-authored a series of immigration law handbooks, renowned in legal circles.

After a few months on the job, Scott recalls how she became dissatisfied with the mundane work of a paralegal. She scheduled a meeting with Fragomen and told him that she was “bored.”

“He looked at me and smiled and said, ‘Lisa, then go to law school,’” said Scott, who is still surprised by her audacity during the conversation she had as a young college graduate.

So off to law school she went, applying at none other than Case Western Reserve, Fragomen’s alma mater.

“I didn’t know anything about law schools. I knew Austin went to Case, and I applied and got a scholarship. That was basically it. I’m not sure I thought about going anywhere else,” she said. “I figured it was good for him, so it would be good for me.”

Scott worked for Fragomen when she was on break during her law school career, and he later encouraged her to pursue different experiences to buoy her career.

28 x Case Western Reserve University School of Law Professor Lew Katz, 76, is the longest-tenured faculty member in Case Western Reserve University School of Law history. Even after five decades, Katz continues to teach full-time, serves as a public speaker, recruits international students and publishes books. The 23rd edition of his book Ohio Arrest, Search & Seizure was released this year.

Katz once ran for Congress, and he almost became a dean at another law school. He has stories — some on-the-record and some off — about what this law school was like through the ages. He began teaching in the old building on Adelbert, when students kept their books in briefcases instead of lockers and female students didn’t have their own restrooms.

He remembers the time when creating a law degree program for foreign students was a novel idea — a program that has since grown to become a significant part of the law school’s overall population.

We had a chance to talk with Lew about his career highlights and the finer sides of legal education. We asked him what has kept him going year after year.

His answer remains as steadfast as ever: the students.

They are why he got into this business. And why he’s still here.

When you started your career here, did you expect to around here. They also helped teach me how to teach. I received a stay 50 years? great gift from them, which I think is one of the reasons I still love to teach. I learned early, and I think it was because of their good nature, No, I promised my wife we’d leave after two years, and I was ready to not to be afraid to say, “I don’t know.” And I’ve seen professors who keep that promise, but by then we wanted to stay and it was the can’t say that in class. But as long as you come back the next day right decision. having given it thought or found the answer, if there is one, students are very willing to accept “I don’t know” on a specific matter. I learned And how have you managed to stay here for this long? that early, and I have always enjoyed going into class. I’m sure there were days when I didn’t want to go into class. But I can’t think of any I’ve always stayed engaged in the law school. I never lost interest in class that I’ve ever had that there weren’t students that I enjoyed. what we do. I like our students … I like most of our students (smiles). So I guess when it comes right down to it, they are the reason I’m still Some have become lifelong friends, and some of my closest friends doing this full-time. And interestingly, I haven’t gone half-time have also been faculty colleagues. because I can’t figure out which half to give up. Because I love dealing with the JD students, and I love dealing with foreign students. You’ve stayed in touch with so many students over the years. How do you respond to all those emails? I think I sound too gushy.

They are not as frequent as they used to be. (laughs) But I hear from a lot of students at least once a year and I always try to respond. I’m (laughs) No, that’s great. We are going to get to the good not the most technologically adept person. I like keeping in touch stuff in a minute, anyway. What have been the most with our graduates. I like to know what they are doing and what’s significant changes in the law school throughout your happening in their lives. I am honored to be officiating this year at the tenure? wedding of a former student – that’s a first. I think students have so many distractions today.

Have many of them surprised you in terms of their Technology-wise or other things? success or where they’ve gone or what they’ve done? Some would call it life. But yes, including technology. It’s sometimes I learned from my first class that they had the capacity and capability harder to keep them engaged. to do anything they set their minds to. And that they had the knowledge, and we provided them with the tools. That was a pretty amazing class. The class of 1969. Do you think that students, when you first came here, were more involved in activism because of the things that were going on during that era than they are today? And that was your first class (1969)? Your first three-year class? Well, there are generations, and I’ve thought of every three years of students being a different generation. That first generation was Right. This was a pretty wild, experimental place back then. And they totally wrapped up in law school. The second generation, the were either the beneficiaries or the victims of a lot that was going on

So it was the only good investment I’ve ever made — except in this When did you ban the laptops? place.

About five years ago. One of our former colleagues who is at Virginia told me that he bans laptops in the first semester for the first half of I also heard at the time that you started teaching, his semester. And I thought, oh, what a good idea. But I did it for the smoking cigarettes was permitted here in the law whole semester and it seemed to work. His idea was, he said to school. When did that change? What was that culture students, “I’ll tell you when you are ready to bring your laptops.” And I like? thought, it’s working, why risk going back to it? In the first year, it’s not so much that students are doing other things on their laptops; it’s (laughs) I used to smoke in class!

And I was so stupid that I couldn’t better way of learning. I think technology gets in the way. understand his complaint. We stopped smoking in class. I don’t remember when. But we stopped smoking in our offices only when the city of Cleveland adopted a smoke ordinance prohibition, although You’ve been friends with Leon Gabinet for quite a long I think I probably was the last one to give up my hidden ashtray in my time.

But I’ve always thought to a great extent that law Do you text? student intimidation was more internalized than externalized, even in the old days, when we were much more strictly socratic. It’s a I can text! It’s hard on here. But I can receive texts. I can do that much tremendous way to learn if students would let themselves go. I more than the original, which I had to throw away.

But by engaging and getting LinkedIn each week, and when they are people I know, graduates, I involved, you learn. You learn how to think like a lawyer and talk like a wish I could write back and say, “I don’t do social media.” But I don’t lawyer. know their email addresses. So I can’t tell them that. So maybe you can tell them. I think undergraduate education is mechanized and remote. So many students have their relationships on the computer rather than in real life that they are not used to dealing with people and letting people I’ll pass the word along. see them as they are. Rather, than as they portray themselves on the (laughs) computer, on social media, or whatever.

I always tell students, “Don’t put anything on social media that you On to more questions: How has criminal law changed don’t want to follow you through life.” You’d be surprised how easily over the years? Any cases that stand out to you? employers can find what you’ve posted that you wish you hadn’t later on. And that’s from someone who knows nothing about social media. Criminal law has changed because we are starting to question again why we are locking up so many people for so many years. And the wisdom of that. Criminal procedure has been changing throughout the 50 years. When I first came, Morry Shanker, who I think held the record for longest teaching on this faculty until now, dismissed criminal procedure as a passing fad. Along with the civil rights movement, the due process revolution started to transform society. The country became conservative and launched the war on drugs and gave back so many of those expanded rights. In some ways teaching the fourth amendment was a history course, but now there are stirrings again and indications that we may not have lost all of our fourth amendment rights permanently. However, the ability of the government to track all of our current communications is absolutely scary. I sound like a conservative!

How about the foreign graduate legal studies program? Why did you want to start the program?

My wife calls it the best mid-life crisis I ever had. I just thought it would be good for the law school, and good for our students, to start meeting and engaging with foreign lawyers. Now, Peter (then-Dean Peter Gerhart) and I thought the program would be very small. But it has grown tremendously over the years because of the student interest and the advantages it brings to the law school. I have had some wonderful trips as a result of this program — visiting our graduates and recruiting and creating relationships with other schools.

This past May, we had the pleasure of awarding diplomas to 215 JD, SJD, and LLM graduates and hearing federal appellate Judge Kathleen M. O’Malley ’82 remind the graduates that with the privilege of joining the legal profession comes the obligation to use their training to impact lives for the better. Judge O’Malley’s remarks followed those of another law alumnus in the morning, university Convocation speaker Barry Meyer ’67, the recently retired chair and CEO of Warner Brothers. Meyer, who spent more than four decades at the Hollywood studio that brought Harry Potter and Batman to the multiplex, urged graduates to remember the importance of 1 (front left) Yihong Zhang and (front right) Xiang Liu relationships beyond those forged solely on social media. 2 Halden Schwallie

Class of 1990 Celebrates 25th Reunion by Establishing Endowment for Student Scholarships

In honor of their 25th reunion from Case Western Reserve University School of Law, the class of 1990, led by their 13-member Reunion Advisory Committee, decided to create an endowment in order to provide scholarship support to future law students. Over the past year, the committee members reached out to their classmates who generously supported this effort. The establishment of their endowment will be celebrated this October when the law school gathers to celebrate Homecoming & Reunion Weekend (October 8 – 11).

For more information on the law school’s Homecoming & Reunion Weekend and to view a list of Reunion Advisory Committee members visit law.case.edu/reunion.
