Indeed, the challenges and often ravages of war upon individuals, and their families, leave most of us speechless. After reading David Finkel's recent book, Thank You For Your Service, I have a better understanding of why my grandfather did not talk much about his service. Finkel's extraordinary narrative helps individuals like me, with no military experience, glimpse the visible and invisible wounds of war as well as the impact on the families of those who serve. Describing the complex experiences of heroes on the battlefield who return as veterans with immense obstacles and delays in obtaining the support they earned and require, Finkel helps us understand what veterans face and even how the justice system they defended through their service has sadly failed them in some ways. Veterans are at the center of this issue of our magazine. In our last issue we profiled some of our veteran students. In this issue, you will learn how GGU is just beginning to fill the justice gap for this deserving population by using our strengths in practice­ based education to serve veterans. I encourage you to read the lecture reprinted here, given by Associate Justice Ming Chin of the Supreme Court of California at this fall's Fifth Annual Chief Justice Ronald M. George Distinguished Lecture, the theme of which was Veterans in the Judiciary. In his very moving lecture, Chin discussed his experience in the Vietnam War as a soldier and as a returning soldier, and the valuable service rendered by our service men and women. In addition to our work supporting our veteran community, in the past two months, GGU Law students, faculty, and alumni have enjoyed an inspiring combination of public recognition, milestone community events, and key student victories. The 12th Annual IP Law & Policy Conference was attended by lawyers and students, the Clinics 20th Anniversary Celebration fundraiser was a wonderful tribute to the clinic founders, and the 2nd Annual Professor Bernie Segal National Mock Trial Competition: In Vino Veritas continues to garner rave reviews nationally. GGU Law's latest program innovations serving students, and record number of student victories in mock trial competitions, help our students hone the skills so critical to their professional success-so much of our work with students, alumni, and the legal community fill me with pride. I am grateful for the many ways each of you, our alumni and friends, participate with us to strengthen the experience and opportunities of the next generation of GGU alumni. Your continued support is especially important now, when legal education and the legal profession are undergoing significant transformations. Thank you, and happy new year to you, your family and friends.

  • The History, Content, Application and Influence of the Northern District of California’S Patent Local Rules
    THE HISTORY, CONTENT, APPLICATION AND INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA’S PATENT LOCAL RULES James Ware† & Brian Davy†† Abstract On December 1, 2000, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California became the first district court to promulgate rules governing the content and timing of disclosures in patent-related cases. The Northern District’s conception of Patent Local Rules finds its origins in the concerns during the 1980’s and 1990’s, when the increasing cost and expense of civil litigation came under increasing attack from commentators and all three branches of the federal government. Despite efforts to improve the efficiency of civil litigation generally, patent litigation proved particularly burdensome on litigants and the courts. The Supreme Court’s decision in Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc. only exacerbated this situation. The Northern District’s Patent Local Rules are specifically tailored to address the unique challenges that arise during patent litigation, particularly during the pretrial discovery process. The Rules require the patentee and the accused infringer to set forth detailed infringement and invalidity theories early in the case. The Rules also govern the content and timing of disclosures related to the claim construction hearing, an event unique to patent litigation that is often case-dispositive. The Northern District’s Patent Local Rules have been expressly endorsed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Rules have also proven highly influential in other judicial districts, as evidenced by the adoption of substantially similar rules in a growing number of district courts. Substantive differences do exist, however, between the patent local rules of various district courts.

  • Lawyer NEW DEAN TAKES CHARGE
    Stanford FALL 2004 FALL Lawyer NEW DEAN TAKES CHARGE Larry D. Kramer brings fresh ideas, lots of energy, and a willingness to stir things up a bit. Remember Stanford... F rom his family’s apricot orchard in Los Altos Hills, young Thomas Hawley could see Hoover Tower and hear the cheers in Stanford Stadium. “In those days my heroes were John Brodie and Chuck Taylor,” he says, “and my most prized possessions were Big Game programs.” Thomas transferred from Wesleyan University to Stanford as a junior in and two years later enrolled in the Law School, where he met John Kaplan. “I took every course Professor Kaplan taught,” says Thomas. “He was a brilliant, often outrageous teacher, who employed humor in an attempt to drive the law into our not always receptive minds.” In choosing law, Thomas followed in the footsteps of his father, Melvin Hawley (L.L.B. ’), and both grandfathers. “I would have preferred to be a professional quarterback or an opera singer,” he says (he fell in love with opera while at Stanford-in-Italy), “and I might well have done so but for a complete lack of talent.” An estate planning attorney on the Monterey Peninsula, Thomas has advised hundreds of families how to make tax-wise decisions concerning the distribution of their estates. When he decided the time had come to sell his rustic Carmel cottage, he took his own advice and put the property in a charitable remainder trust instead, avoiding the capital gains tax he otherwise would have paid upon sale. When the trust terminates, one-half of it will go to Stanford Law School.

    Republican Appointees and Judicial Discretion: Cases Studies From the Federal Sentencing Guidelines Era Professor David M. Zlotnicka Senior Justice Fellow – Open Society Institute Nothing sits more uncomfortably with judges than the sense that they have all the responsibility for sentencing but little of the power to administer it justly.1 Outline of the Report This Report explores Republican-appointed district court judge dissatisfaction with the sentencing regime in place during the Sentencing Guideline era.2 The body of the Report discusses my findings. Appendix A presents forty case studies which are the product of my research.3 Each case study profiles a Republican appointee and one or two sentencings by that judge that illustrates the concerns of this cohort of judges.

  • California Corrections: Confronting Institutional Crisis, Lethal Injection, and Sentencing Reform in 2007
    BROMBERG 10/1/2008 12:52:21 PM California Corrections: Confronting Institutional Crisis, Lethal Injection, and Sentencing Reform in 2007 Over the past several years, California has been awash in corrections reform, much of it mandated by legislation or the courts. The most significant developments have arisen in cases in the United States District Courts in California, which have ruled that compliance with the United States Constitution may require drastic restructuring of the prison system, sentencing guidelines, and lethal injection procedures. 1 In addition, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed and signed off on significant legislation and reforms to the corrections and rehabilitative structure of California's prisons and parole revocation measures.2 This article focuses on some of the most significant changes of the past several years in three major areas: (1) prison overcrowding, (2) lethal injection, and (3) sentencing and parole. 1. CALIFORNIA'S PRISON CRISIS [I]t is an uncontested fact that, on average, an inmate in one of California's prisons needlessly dies every six to seven days due to constitutional deficiencies in the CDCR's [California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation] medical delivery system .... It is clear to the Court that this unconscionable degree of suffering and death is sure to continue if the system is not dramatically overhauled. 1. See Sonja Steptoe, California'sGrowing Prison Crisis, TIME, June 21, 2007, available at http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599.1635592.00.html?xid-feed-cnn-topics: see also John Pomfret, California's Crisis in Prison Systems a Threat to Public: Longer Sentences and Less Emphasis on Rehabilitation Create Problems, WASH.
