To properly prepare its will need to succeed in practice graduates, Boston College Law School offers numerous courses related to both traditional litigation and newer alternative dispute resolution methods. Some of these courses focus on substantive law and legal procedure; the first-year Civil Procedure and the advanced Federal Courts, Complex Litigation, and Evidence are a few examples. Other courses develop the important skills of legal practice and feature both simulated exercises and student involvement in actual cases. These skill­ building courses begin in the first year with the innovative Introduction to Lawyering and Professional Responsibility - required of all students - and subsequently include upper-class electives such as Family Court Practice and Appellate Advocacy. In each of these courses, issues of professional ethics and responsibility are raised as well, in keeping with Boston College Law School's long-standing commitment to instilling an appreciation for the importance of these issues in a lawyer's life.

Appellate Advocacy is another course that approximates an actual lawyering experience as it introduces students to appellate practice and procedure in the state and federal courts. In recent years, it has been offered in two separate sections taught by adjunct faculty members John M. Albano '82 and Thomas J. Carey '65. A few years ago, Carey added a new twist to the course by contacting area District Attorneys' Offices to obtain active cases so that his students could write the appel­ late briefs. Carey says, "I wanted to offer an advanced, intensive, hands-on seminar developing writing and analytical skills through a real-life appeal of a significant case. The work is representative of what is done in a District Attorney's Office or when a lawyer who has been in practice awhile gets a major case on appeal. It's a fairly unique opportunity to combine the academic - the way to write a brief in a perfect world - and the imperfect world of practicing attorneys, who have limita­ tions imposed on them and have to crank these things out."

14 BO STON COLLEGE LAW SCHOOL MAGAZINE Professional Responsibility From Another Perspective

Boston College Law School's newest professional responsibility COUl'le, Prosecutorial Ethics, diffm from other courses of the type for a good reason: many of the standard ethical issues relating to private practice simply don't pertain to prosecutors. As the course instructor, Assistant Professor George Fisher, explains, "How do you handle your client's money? Prosecutol'l don't handle money. And conflict of interest issues in private practice don't come up in the same way for prosecutors." The difference also meant an absence of textbooks on the subject, and Fisher found available legal ethics materials included little about criminal law in general. Examining law school curricula elsewhere, he found somewhat similar but not identical offerings and a handful of coul'les on government lawyers - but the latter concentrated on what Fisher calls the "more glamorous" roles of special prosecutors and attorneys working within the United States Justice Department, not issues concerning pros­ ecutors of everyday street crime. Still, Fisher, a former prosecutor with both the Middlesex County District Attorney's Office and Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, and Associate Dean for Academic Affail'l Mark S. Brodin, who had proposed the course introduction in Spring 1993, recognized the value of teaching law students about prosecutorial ethics. Fisher says, "One of the basic principles of criminal justice is that the prosecutor is an advocate who will present evidence in a way that will win the guilt only of the guilty. But there are tensions. The prosecutor is an individual who has been trained to want to win and has personal and professional goals. The prosecutor may not know who is guilty; there Assistant Professor George Fisher, a former prosecutor, now teaches a course in prosecutorial ethics is a big middle ground where the prosecutor is as ignorant of the guilt or innocence of the defendant as anyone else.

Julie Lavin '92 recalls a case that she says shaped her LAB experience.

FUTURE

Alternative Dispute Resolution expands the range ofoptions available to lawyers

OME CALL IT LAWYERING AT ITS VERY BEST. Others question whether it is lawyering at all. And to some the very term is a s misnomer. Whatever is said about alternative dispute resolu­ tion (ADR) and its various mechanisms, just about everyone agrees it is here to stay - and likely to become even more prevalent in the future. Though very few have turned to ADR practice as a full-time career, many lawyers have experienced it as they serve their clients. And in legal education today, ADR increasingly is finding a place in the curriculum .

Mone won the first case in Massachusetts involving unfair claim practices by an insurance company; the $600,000 settlement, which was de­ termined in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court after the insurer refused to pay $2,000 to the injured party, remains the highest ever in the state.

Dinneen '73 recalls that only one course was offered in her area oflegal practice at the time she was a Boston College Law School student, a course she describes as "Sully's [Professor Richard Sullivan's] old-fashioned labor law course." But ultimately the lack of available academic preparation hardly mattered; according to Dinneen, labor law - now typically designated "labor and employment law" - has changed completely in 20 years. "Because most states are not as union­ ized as in the past, traditional labor law work is not as common. Therefore, the bulk of my practice has been in employ­ ment law. And much of what I do now is totally new or significantly different from 1973," Dinneen says. She lists several issues of today that were unfamiliar to lawyers 20 years ago: age and disability discrimination in em­ ployment, sexual harassment on the job, family leave, wrongful discharge, employ­ ees' privacy rights. "I'm never without the Daily Labor Report, trying to keep up," Dinneen says. "The changes have meant being at the cutting edge in terms of working on cases and formulating issues that are precedent­ setting or first-timers. There is an oppor­ tunity to make new law in a field that is Carroll E. Dubuc '62 specializes in aviation law with Graham & James in Washington, DC constantly evolving."

" In her cases, Dinneen is most con­ cerned about when and how to achieve a resolution that is in the best interests of her clients. As a result, she frequently advises her clients about alternative meth­ ods to resolve disputes short of trial. Dinneen explains, "We look at whether it makes sense to continue litigation or to settle at an early stage. We explore the strengths and weaknesses of the case and a client's potential exposure. Sometimes it's helpful to have a mediation; this has been very successful in bringing people together.

42 BOSTO N COLLEGE LAW SCHOOL MAGAZI NE Giving Report 1992-1993: A Message From Dean Aviam Soifer

IJ1 n 1992-1993, alumni and friends of Boston College Law School again demonstrated the l!J strength of their belief in the quality of educational programs and in the values this school has represented for more than 60 years. Their generosity allows me to report that overall gifts to the Law School have reached a new high, totalling $1,182,010, nearly $60,000 above the old record set the previous year. Significantly, donors giving at the highest levels - $1,000 or more - increased to their greatest number as well. In difficult economic times, this support at all levels truly is extraordinary. It also is tremendously important for the Law School, enabling us to offer additional financial aid to needy students, to encourage the pursuit of public interest legal careers, and to assist ANNUAL our students and faculty who are engaged in a variety of worthy endeavors. In the following pages, we recognize the individuals who contributed to the Law School's gzvzng report fundraising effort. We also are grateful for the gift of time and recognize those who volunteered to serve on a variety of important committees. As a new Dean, I realize how fortunate I am to become a part of a community committed to ensuring the ongoing vitality of a premier legal institution. This school has great traditions of service to others and academic excellence, traditions forged by my predecessors and exemplified by the work of those associated with Boston College Law School. I am honored to inherit the legacy of great Deans such as Father Robert F. Drinan, S.].; Richard G. Huber; and Daniel R. Coquillette, and I eagerly accept the challenge to maintain and build upon the strengths of this fine law school. •
