4 MAINE LAW MAGAZINE SUMMER 2011 The Honorable Leigh Saufley is Chief Justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. After graduating in 1980 from the University of Maine School of Law, Chief Justice Saufley served as deputy attorney general, Maine District Court Judge, and then Maine Superior Court Justice. She was appointed as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court in 1997 and as Chief Justice in 2001.

What aspects of the job do you enjoy the most? As an appellate justice, nothing compares with an intense oral argument followed by lively discussion with my colleagues. As an administrator, I find it most rewarding to work across branches of government and within communities to solve problems.

How do you balance your administrative and Judicial Branch responsibilities with your role as an appellate justice? Balance is overrated! Like many of my colleagues, I work long hours, and I enjoy almost every minute of it. Because administrative responsibilities demand my time during regular courthouse hours, I do much of the reading and writing for the appellate work at night and on weekends.

What is one thing you learned when taking the Law Court on the road to Maine high schools Opening Arguments: and, occasionally, middle schools? The students’ interests are not confined to sensational cases; students have had lively Chief Justice Leigh Saufley discussions on issues of land use, the common law of torts, and even administrative law.

Who has been your greatest inspiration? My parents, Jan and Dick Ingalls. They modeled for my brothers and me the importance of hard work and commitment to community. They remain involved in local business, community, and government, and they still manage to put family first. I have always said that I was brilliant in my choice of parents.

The Ways of an Ideal Judge

{Story by Jeffrey S. Lehman/Photo by Jack Montgomery}

o have served as one of Frank Cof- fin’s law clerks is to have received the finest imaginable apprenticeship. TFor an entire year, my co-clerks and I were his students, helping him do his work and all the while absorbing life-changing lessons from his example. Here are six attributes of Judge Coffin that penetrated deeply into my consciousness, so deeply that I was moved to share them with a group of Chinese law students the week after he passed away.

PERFECTIONISM. Judge Coffin wanted every bit of work he produced to be his best. He dreaded deciding a case wrongly, writing a bad opinion, even writing a bad sentence in a good opinion. Some perfectionists aggressively impose this value on others, but Judge Coffin followed a different tack: Whenever we law clerks produced inadequate work, he acted as if we had tried our best but had come up short because we were incapable of better. He would always praise our effort. Then he would gently ask a question that laid bare our failings, prompting us to revise our work voluntarily. When we were beyond that stage, he would in the privacy of his chambers un- dertake a painstaking edit, in an immaculate if tiny hand. The technique was a remarkable motiva- tor. We did not want him to think that we lacked ability; we wanted him to think that we were great. Accordingly, we raised our level of professional care in order to increase the likelihood that he would conclude both that we were talented and that we shared his standards of quality.

Hard Work: Judge Coffin stayed up late at night, and he woke up early in the morn- ing. He did whatever he needed to ensure that his work was perfect. As was the case with his perfectionism,

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

In each issue of Maine Law, we take a look at alumni specializing in different fields. Our focus in this issue: Entertainment & Sports

“Maine Law provided me with the environment I needed to graduate, pass the Bar and work at the FCC in Washington as a staff attorney in 1964. My goal was to own television and radio stations, and I built three facilities—WPXT-TV, WJBQ-FM and WJAB-AM here in Portland. The Law School was critical in developing the structure for my entrepreneurial endeavors in both Maine and elsewhere.” John W. Bride (‘64), retired

Peter Carlisle is the driving force behind the success of Octagon’s Olympic & Action Sports division. An expert at the forefront of the booming action sports industry for more than a decade, he has emerged as a leader in the representation and marketing of Olympic and action sports athletes. He oversees a global business that provides career management for Olympics and action sports clients through contract negotiations, endorsements, licensing, merchandising opportunities and more. Before joining Octagon, he founded Carlisle Sports Management and served as an attorney for Preti, Flaherty, Believeau, Pachios. He has also served as an adjunct professor at Maine Law. Peter Carlisle (‘94), Octagon

Paul J. Greene focuses his sports law practice on protecting athletes’ rights. He handles anti-doping and eligibility arbitrations, rights of publicity matters, cybersquatting cases and immigration issues for athletes. He has successfully represented, among others, the gold-medal winning U.S. Men’s Olympic Bobsled Team and the Michael Phelps Foundation. Paul credits the University of Maine School of Law, where he took a course in sports law, for giving him his start as a sports lawyer. Paul J. Greene (‘07), Preti Flaherty

“As a professional runner, I competed against the world’s best. Maine Law gave me the training and vision to explore new challenges in track and field. My sports practice is focused on representing individuals and entities performing at the highest levels. My clients include the American Milers’ Association, NJNY Track Club, and Andrew Wheating, a 2008 Olympian. I serve as legal correspondent for Letsrun.com, the premier internet site for track and field news and results.” Matthew E. Lane (‘09), Preti Flaherty

Gary Thorne says he has been fortunate in his broadcast career to have covered events such as the Olympics, the Stanley Cup Finals, the World Series, MLB All Star games and a host of baseball, football, basketball and hockey games. “The joy of the games survives despite the very big business nature of all sports,” he says. “My law background has helped me understand much of the business aspects of the game and integrate that knowledge into broadcasts. Most importantly, the law background provides the thinking process that I hope gives a broadcast cohesiveness.” Gary F. Thorne (‘73), sportscaster

6 MAINE LAW MAGAZINE SPRING 2011 GIS, Maps and Regulatory Cooperation

rofessor Dave Owen is puzzled. When he researches articles on Penvironmental and land use law, he sees almost no mention of Geographic Information Systems. Yet land use planning is crucially tied to maps and geo-coded data. “Few people have really stopped to think about implications of a GIS-driven environmental planning and policy world for some of our legal debates,” Owen observes. “It really matters to urban stream protection, which involves linking land use planning with water quality concerns, and has implications for air quality, wildlife habitat protection, and other areas of environmental preservation or restoration.” A map can be a powerful tool to help planners visualize areas and express multiple layers of data in one visual image. As regulators work to integrate myriad environmental laws at local and national levels, Prof. Owen predicts, “mapping can help identify locations where development works with all their purposes and goals, and locations where it doesn’t work with any.” It can also help temper potential conflicts between local land use decisions and enforcement of federal environmental laws. “Mapping could give state and local land use planners the tools to talk to federal regulators about how to meet their various goals all at once,” says Prof. Owen, who intends to direct future research to GIS mapping issues and environmental planning.

rofessor Sarah Schindler has found a way to combine her love of and respect for animals with her passion for property law. PIn addition to teaching a course on Animal Law, Prof. Schindler is investigating the conflict between local zoning laws and “locavores” – people who want to leave a lighter impact, and eat primarily what is grown or raised near where they live. “In a lot of ways, food law and policy are inherently tied to the land and land use,” she says. “Consider how zoning ordinances relating to urban agriculture and the size and placement of vegetable gardens impact a person’s ability to grow her own food.” Other examples are zoning laws or neighborhood covenants that impact whether people can raise chickens in their backyards, or hang laundry out to dry. These are issues she hopes to pursue in her future scholarship.
