and in so doing became the first American law school in that country’s history to negotiate and sign an MOU with TSUL. For over a century, the Uzbek people lived under Russian colonial and Soviet domination, and when the Soviet Union collapsed, a newly independent Uzbekistan continued to be run by its autocratic, Soviet-era president. In the final decade of that presidency, the Slovenian NGO Regional Dialogue (RD) founded by Mjuša Sever engaged a rising generation of Uzbek leaders to lay the groundwork for reform. RD organized visits for Uzbek judges to the US and Europe to observe the legal systems in constitutional democracies. BC Law’s relationship with TSUL began during one such visit to the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and has expanded under the new president Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who has imple- mented an ambitious agenda of reforms. As I write this column, President Trump is hosting the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, at the White House. Orbán has worked to exert autocratic rule over Hungary by rewriting the constitution, gerryman- dering the electoral map, exerting control over the media, and weakening the courts. Many observers believe that Orbán is skillfully using the law and democratic free- doms to drive Hungary into authoritarianism.

There were no guards, no water, no food, no AC, no links to the outside world. The fifty men in García’s unit survived on ten tiny boxes of dry cereal and a few old cleanser jugs filled with water. After five days, police arrived and evacu- ated inmates by motorboat. When the men begged for water, an officer sprinkled them from a bottle, “like a priest baptizing babies,” García says. They were bussed three hours to another prison, where they were made to camp on a football field, with no guards, exposed to the elements. Food was thrown to inmates by a prison employee in a cherry picker, spark- ing fights. Other fights broke out at random. Inmates were stabbed; three were raped within earshot of García.

Summer 2019 BC LAW MAGAZINE 11 DOCKET Candid “A driving social work philosophy is you build off what works in someone’s life, because we are all more than the worst things we do.” One ‘Badass Lawyer’ How Alex Bou-Rhodes ’19 plans to change lives. INTERVIEW BY BRENDAN MCKINNON ’19

Bou-Rhodes completed a joint JD/MSW this past spring.

As a preschooler, I wanted to be a firefighter. I dressed in a raincoat and plastic helmet, then walked into the local coffee shop with a garden hose and asked if they had any fires I could put out. They didn’t, but they let me check the smoke detectors. I took the exam during my senior year at BC, but when I saw I was 1,200th on the list, I knew it wasn’t meant to be.

When I was a sophomore at BC High, working at the Boys & Girls Club in South Boston, a kid got angry and tore my boss’s office apart. I’d never seen a child so upset and destructive. Other people saw him as a “bad kid,” but I had seen him be incredibly empathetic and kind. It was a pivotal moment because I realized the anger didn’t define him, and we could change how he saw himself if we built off those moments of kindness. That’s a driving social work philosophy now, where you build off what works in someone’s life, because we are all more than the worst things we do.

Law school was not in my plans; I was only going to pursue my MSW. But as I considered the dual degree program, I realized the incredible value a social-work- minded lawyer could have. In social work school, you spend a lot of time learning about how systems like schools and law enforcement impact someone’s devel- opment and opportunity. Learning the law through that lens has definitely pushed me towards legal realism.

Undo Influence? Shu-Yi Oei detects flaws in the new tax law’s rulemaking process. BY DAVID REICH

The Idea: Unorthodox lawmaking begets unorthodox agency rulemaking. During the US Treasury’s rulemaking that followed passage of the hastily drafted 2017 income tax bill, corpora- tions and industry groups tried to influence the rulemaking by submitting requests for favorable treatment before the official public comment period. These early comments seem to have had outsized influence on some regulations.

The Impact: Though not slated to be published until 2020 in the Emory Law Journal, an article coauthored by BC Law Professor Shu-Yi Oei and Leigh Osofsky of University of North Caro- lina School of Law on the making of the regulations interpreting the 2017 tax law is already turning heads in tax circles. An online post by Samantha Jacoby of the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities featured a lengthy writeup. That same month, the paper placed high on the Yale Journal on Regulation’s list of most downloaded recent papers, second only to an article by legal superstar Cass Sunstein. On the Procedurally Taxing blog, Profes- sor Keith Fogg of Harvard called the article “eye-opening in its detail.” POCKET RÉSUMÉ Oei and Osofsky’s article looks at a section of the new tax law (§ 199A) that Degrees BA magna cum laude, Brown, 1999; JD and MTS, Harvard, 2003.

9 to 5 Old ways, new gigs— the transformation of employment. BY JANE WHITEHEAD and GABRIEL FRUMKIN ’20

As an international authority on labor and employment law, BC Law Profes- sor Thomas C. Kohler asks fundamental questions about the nature and dignity of work and its impact on the people who perform it. In a 2008, he wrote of a looming crisis in labor and employment law globally and an urgent need for new thinking about “the kind of global economic and work re- lationships that will sustain democracies and allow humans to flourish.” Nowadays, he sees an acceleration in the breakdown of long-established norms governing employment and a growing ten- dency of employers to see workers purely as profit centers, “mostly fungible and fully disposable.” The rise of the gig economy, he says, has challenged legal systems worldwide to reconsider who is and who is not an employee, and what that means in a era of unstable working relationships. This shift is perhaps more unbridled in the US than in other advanced societies, says Kohler. No other country he knows INCOME MINIMUM WAGE of has employment “at will,” a system sup- posed to be conducive to the freedom of Earning Tiers Earners both employers and employed, but in fact is highly favorable to employers.

The INNOCENCE WHISPERERS

Adjunct Professor Charlotte Whitmore has a gift for freeing the wrongly convicted. But she doesn’t do it alone.

Her talent is in knowing how to assist a team of colleagues and students like Lauren Rossman through a labyrinthine criminal justice system where too many people have lost their way.

With the team’s help, Omar Martinez found his way out.

FROM PROSPER - ITY TO

PERIL AND BACK AGAIN

It has everything to do with Cuba— and nada to do with Cuba—how life has turned out for Teresa Valdes- Fauli Weintraub ’79. Nothing, in that she was just seven years old when her family fled, and she holds scant memories of the island. Everything, in that this exodus imprinted her with a great truth: If you stay focused and family-centered, all manner of setbacks—even calamities—can be transcended. Weintraub likes to quote her mother on this front. The Valdes- Faulis barely escaped to Florida in 1960, hoping their exile would be short-lived.

THE DIGNITY OF WORK (IS THAT EVEN A THING ANYMORE?) IN A SHAPESHIFTING EMPLOYMENT ENVIRONMENT, EXPERTS SORT OUT WHAT TO WORRY ABOUT AND WHAT TO HOPE FOR.

UNEMPLOYMENT MAY BE LOW, but high-profile strikes by teachers in states from West Virginia to Washington, recent actions in Massachusetts by employees of utility National Grid and gro- cery chain Stop and Shop, and an international protest by Uber and Lyft drivers, suggest that job dissatisfaction is widespread through large sections of the labor force. ¶ On the positive side, pressure to recruit and retain top talent in today’s hypercompetitive job market is driving employers to develop robust policies to increase diversity and counter harassment and discrimina- tion of all kinds, from sexual misconduct to pay inequality.

MANAGING COUNSEL SAYS CORPORATIONS ARE FEELING THE PRESSURE FOR EQUALITY, EQUITY, AND DIVERSE LEADERSHIP.

“The crux of employment law is ensuring level playing fields,” says Aisha Jorge Massengill, managing counsel, employment, for Under Armor, Inc., the Baltimore-based international performance apparel company. Massengill’s playing field is global; she oversees employment matters for 14,000 employees worldwide. “Anything that can act as a bar- rier to optimizing talent within the organization requires my attention on a day-to-day basis,” says Mas- sengill. Pay equity, gender equality, ensuring inclusive workspaces, and addressing unconscious bias in decision-making are all high on her strategic agenda. With more than twenty years’ experience in the field, Massen- gill has seen a positive evolution in employers’ attitudes to groups that have been historically underrepresented or discrimi- nated against in the workplace, including women, minorities, and people from the LGBTQ com- munity. In the wake of the #Me Too movement, she has also seen a “mindset shift” in how employ- ers handle sexual harassment alle- gations, in ways that acknowledge subtly undermining behaviors, as well as overt abuse. On the horizon, Massengill predicts increasing pressure on publicly traded companies, in particular, to develop diverse lead- ership, in tandem with demands for gender equality and pay equity. In terms of recruitment, this means ensuring diverse interview panels and slates of candidates, and providing leadership training at all levels of the organization. “It’s important to always keep your eye on removing barriers to equality in the workplace,” she says.

GLOBAL EXPERT THINKS THE US HAS A LOT TO LEARN FROM THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPS OF OTHER NATIONS.

In January 2019, Brian Wong was appointed senior legal coun- sel, employment, at software giant Adobe, a California-based multinational. Previously, he spent four years in a similar position at clothing retailer Gap Inc., where he supported a workforce of 15,000- 20,000 employees in more than twenty countries in the Americas and the Asia Pacific regions. With comparably broad geographic responsibilities at Adobe, Wong sees how challenges for global companies play out internationally, in different legal and cultural contexts. Current priorities are data protection, trade secret protection, adapting to global changes in contingent labor, investigating whistle-blower allegations, and managing the worldwide ripple effects of the #MeToo movement. With its presumption of “at will” employment, the US is an outlier, notes Wong. For example, in Korea and Japan, he says, “the employ- ment relationship is much more like a life-long family relationship,” than the customary US “arms-length, 1 tell” policy was in place. “Without the basic workplace at-will transactional relationship Now a senior trial attorney protections that guarantee a driven by contract, where either SARA in the Boston office of the US level playing field, like the right party can walk away at any time.” SMOLIK ’04 Equal Employment Opportunity to a minimum wage, a right to Supporting a global workforce, he Commission (EEOC), Smolik has overtime, a right to be free of says, means “respecting these cul- LONG-TIME FIGHTER watched the erosion of workers’ sexual harassment, a right to be tural and legal differences without AGAINST DISCRIMINATION rights by the use of class action free of race discrimination in hir- losing sight of consistency, equity, SUGGESTS THAT WITHOUT waivers, the rise of mandatory ing and job assignment, how can and the company's core values.” A LEVEL EMPLOYMENT arbitration agreements, and the people meaningfully participate In October 2018 Adobe FIELD, DEMOCRACY IS expansion of the gig economy. in democracy?” asks Smolik. achieved global gender pay parity, THREATENED. “We have a rising class of “These working relation- a pragmatic as well as ethical goal workers in this country who are ships need to be regulated as for a company dependent on Sara Smolik has battled against working outside the traditional traditional working relationships harnessing creativity.

TOP LABOR-SIDE ATTORNEY BELIEVES THAT THE ERO- SION OF WORKERS’ SECU- RITY IS REAWAKENING A SLEEPING GIANT.

A summer internship at United Auto Workers in Detroit, and a La- bor Law class taught by Professor Thomas Kohler launched Nicole Decter into a career dedicated to securing equity and dignity for workers. Now a partner at Boston’s Segal Roitman LLP and a New England Super Lawyer in 2016-18, Decter represents public- and private-sector union clients, as well as individual clients and groups of employees in wage and hour and antidiscrimination litigation. “American employment relation- ships have become less secure and less beneficial to workers throughout the economy,” says Decter. She sees employers in- creasingly using staffing agencies, outsourcing, and misclassification of workers as independent con- tractors to limit their obligations to employees. Since the 2016 elec- tion, workers’ protections under the National Labor Relations Act have also eroded. On a more optimistic note, Decter sees a reinvigoration of the labor movement nationally, but particularly in Massachusetts, 1 firm representing management, and levels of sexual harassment allegations. citing recent successful actions more recently as principal of his own These developments can spur organiza- by unionized workers at the utility JAFFE Los Angeles consulting company, he tions to adopt robust policies on safety National Grid and the grocery DICKERSON ’75 has seen radical shifts from the working and training that benefit employees as chain Stop & Shop. “Often, unions world captured by Terkel. well as employers: “They improve the act as canaries in the coal mine VETERAN LAWYER IDENTIFIES The growth of the gig economy, the workplace; everybody gets smarter,” to ensure that both private and AI AND BIG DATA AS BIGGEST decline of private sector organized labor, says Dickerson. public employers are operating REFORMERS OF WORK LIFE AS the rising use of arbitration agreements, In the short term, Dickerson will be in an effective and accountable WE KNOW IT. and an increasing concern with workplace monitoring moves by state legislatures manner,” she says. violence have all impacted his practice. to require paid parental leave, and In an increasingly fragmented As a law student, Jaffe Dickerson de- Looking forward, he sees Artificial Intel- watching three SCOTUS cases sched- and technologically driven work- voured oral historian Studs Terkel’s 1974 ligence and the harnessing of big data as uled to be heard in Fall 2019.

When the top job, an elected post, opened up mid-term, Ryan saw people lining up for the position but didn’t know how to get into the race herself. “This is where sometimes men have an advantage,” she observes. “Men raise their hand and try it out while women often take more time to think about [an opportu- nity] and the moment passes.”

In a commencement address filled with hope, US Congressman Robert “Bobby” Scott ’73 (bottom left) said this to BC Law’s Class of 2019: “I can’t wait to see the best that is in all of you. Our future is brighter because you took the harder path forward. In life and work you will be tempted to choose the easier path. But when faced with the temptation to take the easier route, I hope you remember the Jesuit prin- ciples that Boston College Law School seeks to instill in each of its students: public service, social justice, and a com- mitment to excellence.” Two hundred and forty-five graduates received JD degrees at the 86th Commence- ment exercises May 24, including one December 2018 graduate. Sixteen LLM students also received degrees.

free appropriate public education to students with dis- abilities. Unfortunately, this approach is failing because the IDEA is not able to tackle other barriers to educa- tional access within facilities. The IDEA, however, is not the sole remedy available. The Americans with Disabili- ties Act (ADA) offers a more robust litigation avenue for enforcing the education rights of incarcerated youth with disabilities than bringing suit solely under the IDEA. When juvenile justice facilities were created in the mid-nineteenth century, they served as the rehabilitative counterpart to the adult penal system and were common- ly referred to as “reform schools,” a scholastic euphemism for prison for kids. On behalf of incarcerated students, le- gal advocates seeking educational access for their clients must first exhaust the administrative remedies that apply to prison conditions under the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or the PLRA, and those that apply to special education under the IDEA. Requiring exhaustion can delay proceedings while students continue to miss out on educational services and suffer in solitary. Litigation under the ADA could prove more effective because of the breadth of its application and its lack of exhaustion requirements. The definition of disability Playing by the Rules under the ADA is broader than that under the IDEA and does not require the same stringent testing mandated A legal remedy for incarcerated kids.
