Tom Cloud: Old Battles and New

As a young boy in Polk County, Florida – the area that prompted the creation of Florida’s air and water pollution laws – Tom Cloud’s education in land use and environmen- tal issues began early. “I grew up on mined out phosphate land just south of Lakeland,” said Cloud. “I can remember waiting in line for the school bus and there would be this soupy fog around us, burning our arms because it was laced with sulfur dioxide in fairly heavy concentrations. We used to joke about glowing at night, which was not too far wrong.” Th e origins of Cloud’s legal career can be traced to an affi nity for antique fi rearms that he developed as a child. Knowing how expensive the collector’s items could be, Cloud’s mother, Betty Jean, suggested her son become an attorney so he would be able to amass a respectable collection. Although his goal of becoming a lawyer was fi rmly established at a young age, Cloud did not settle on concentrating in environmental and land use law until he was earning his bachelor’s degree at Wake Forest University. Florida State’s strength in the area prompted him to apply to the law school. “Florida State had a real expert in land use and envi- ronmental law and I really wanted to go to Florida State because it was in Tallahassee,” said the 1979 Florida State Law graduate, who was initially wait-listed. “I had been accepted at two or three other schools, but they weren’t Florida State. Th e acceptance came through a week before I was going to have to make a decision and I felt pretty fortunate about that.” Upon graduation from law school, Cloud was hired by the legendary Charlie Gray to work for the newly-formed Orange County Legal Department. In January 1982 Gray recruited him to join the fi rm that is now GrayRobinson — despite Cloud’s Florida State law degree. “When I fi rst came to work at GrayRobinson, they re- ferred to me as their affi rmative action program because I was only their second FSU law grad to come to work for a fi rm that had the reputation for hiring only double Gator, Order of the Coif, Blue Keys,” said Cloud. “Our managing partner is now a Seminole, so we’ve come a long way.” During almost 27 years at GrayRobinson’s Orlando of- fi ce, Cloud has taken advantage of the benefi ts of practicing at a large, statewide fi rm. As the leader of GrayRobinson’s

Pure Entertainment Leron Rogers is a Household Name with Recording Artists and Athletes

eron Rogers has threatened to sue practically every major record label. LThat may be one reason the 1999 Florida State Law graduate was chosen to grace the cover of People You Need to Know magazine. But as a top entertainment and sports lawyer, Rogers is already known by many well-known recording artists and athletes. Rogers’ clients have included comedian Steve Harvey, rapper Lil Scrappy and multi- platinum R&B group Silk. A member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, Rogers also has represented Grammy-nominated song writers and pro- ducers for Beyoncé Knowles, Jamie Foxx, Akon and Luther Vandross. His high-profi le clientele has earned him invitations to some of the music industry’s biggest events, includ- ing the Grammys and MTV Video Music Awards. Th ough his practice at Hewitt & Rogers is approximately 70 percent entertainment law and 20 percent sports law, Rogers entered the fi eld primarily to represent athletes. Knowing he would practice sports law before he ever stepped inside a Florida State Law classroom, the former Atlanta Braves draft pick and college scholarship baseball player had a passion for sports and wanted to be a sports agent. Possessing an entrepre- neurial spirit, Rogers immediately became involved in Florida State’s Entertainment, Art, and Sports Law Society during his fi rst year of law school. By his second year, he was president of the student organization, and he used the extracurricular activity to network and meet people involved in sports law. Rogers also forged a relationship between the university’s athletic department and the law school. As a result, when sports agents

Hook Argues Against Accutane

hen a knee injury ended Mike Hook’s dream of becoming a Wprofessional baseball player, he turned his attention to becoming a lawyer. Th e former college baseball catcher wanted to use the law to help people. After more than 20 years practicing civil defense law and representing major insurance compa- nies, Hook’s self-described career change has him helping hundreds of victims from New Jersey to Pensacola, where he lives with his wife of 33 years, Tricia. A world away from Th e City of Five Flags, Hook has taken mission trips to Russia for the past six years. His wife and daughters Kimberly and Kristina joined him recently for the two-week journey. While in Russia, Hook introduces chil- dren to Christianity while teaching them one of his childhood passions – baseball. Th e trips provide him the opportunity to share his beliefs and reinforce his ap- preciation for the legal profession and life in America. “If you want to be proud of our profes- sion, go to Russia – those people have no safeguards,” said Hook. “I’ve seen so many health and safety hazards. Th e value for human life is not the same. Th e trips to Russia are a reminder of how blessed I am to live here and to be able to do what I do.” Th e life Hook enjoys in Pensacola took a drastic turn in 2001, when a young man suff ering side eff ects from Accutane visited Hook’s law offi ce. Th e man’s doc- tor believed that the drug primarily used to treat acne had caused him to develop infl ammatory bowel disease (IBD). While evaluating publically available information about Accutane, Hook found evidence of wrongdoing by Roche, the pharmaceutical company that manufac- tures the drug. “My background in the defense side

51018-FSULAW 2008 AR.indd 2 10/25/08 1:12:13 AM DEAN’S ANNUAL FUND-RAISING REPORT

DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS:

This was a year of great success for the law school. The reputation of our out- standing students and faculty continues to blossom. The highlight of recent external recognition was when U.S. News & World Report rated our Environ- mental Program 10th in the nation (up from 12th last year).

Private fund-raising has been an important part of our successes, and this past year’s results have been excellent. Our Annual Fund has been an unprecedented success, and our new major gifts are already making a difference.

ANNUAL FUND Last year’s Annual Fund hit another new high: 27 percent of our alumni made gifts to the law school. This level of alumni support sends a powerful signal about the enthusiasm our alumni have for the school. We are now the nation’s 3rd best public law school in terms of alumni giving rate. Our student enthusiasm and generosity bodes well for the future. This past year, 68 percent of our students contributed to our Annual Fund. They are blazing the trail for us all!

Gifts to the Annual Fund enrich our entire academic program. The Annual Fund supports everything from student scholarships to distinguished speak- ers to graduation receptions for our students and their families to lunch at the Florida Bar exam!

MAJOR GIFTS This past year, we received Major Gifts totaling $2,140,611.69 in cash and $12,722,500 in additional pledges, for a grand total of $14,863,111.69. This success is remarkable. The “Cash Gifts By Level” portion of this Report in- cludes only payments made during the fi scal year, even if they are but a portion of a larger gift. We want our reporting to you to be as conservative as possible. Under the heading of “Recent Larger Gifts,” we outline the larger gift commit- ments that we received in the 2007-2008 fi scal year.

All these gifts and pledges have provided important encouragement to all of us at the law school and are helping us to transform our program. The dollars invested in the school are paying great dividends.

Thank you for all of your support.

Sincerely,

Don Weidner, Dean

51018-FSULAW 2008 AR.indd 29 10/29/08 12:33:23 PM ENDOWED PROFESSORSHIPS

ENDOWED PROFESSORSHIPS Our faculty members have distinguished themselves both nationally and internationally as leaders in their fi elds. Their scholarship is both visible and infl uential and is helping to build the reputation of Florida State. Many of them have been pursued by other top schools, both public and private. It is critical to retain these extraordinary faculty members at Florida State. Just as in the private sector, productivity bonuses help. Endowed professorships provide salary supplements based on merit. They are not sinecures. Faculty members are appointed to endowed professorships for fi ve-year terms, with renewal con- tingent on continued scholarly productivity. The minimum gift needed to endow a professorship at Florida State Law is $200,000.

ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS Our single greatest need from private giving is endowed scholarships. Our tuition has steadily increased and will continue to do so as our law school continues down what seems to be the inevitable road to privatization. To continue to serve our mission of providing access to all, including those from families of modest means, we will need signifi cantly more scholarships. Scholarships can be based on merit, need or a combination of both and are awarded according to the intent of the donor. The minimum gift needed to endow a scholarship at Florida State Law is $25,000.

Gifts to endowment are almost invariably made over time, usually over a fi ve-year period. The state of Florida matches gifts to endowment at incremental ratios, starting with 50 percent for gifts of at least $100,000 and increasing to 100 percent for gifts of $2,000,001 and larger.

For more information and other endowment options to support the law school through a wide variety of tax-deductible charitable giving methods, please contact: Ryan Little, Assistant Dean for Development, at 850.644.5160 or [email protected].

Th e Florida State Law faculty is bol- stered this year by the return of Justice Stanley A. Moore as a visiting professor. Justice Moore, who is a Justice of Appeal of the Republic of Botswana, also taught at the law school during the spring 2006, 2007 and 2008 semesters. As a retired senior justice of the Supreme Court of the Bahamas, Northern Division, and a retired senior resident judge of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court, Jus- tice Moore has a wealth of judicial and international experience. Justice Moore is currently teaching Comparative Con- stitutional Law and he will teach Public International Law in the spring. “Th e greatest thrill of my life is to see a talented student maximize his or her talent,” said Justice Moore. “I am very proud to be part of this school. Th e atmosphere of Tallahassee is reserved, tranquil and serene. And the people that I have met here have all been very pleasant. Th e students are mature, they are engaged and they work hard.” In addition to his teaching and judi- cial experience, Justice Moore served as attorney general and acting governor of Montserrat.
