KATHRYN SHEPHERD ’09 FIGHTS FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN SEEKING ASYLUM

12 l ST. JOHN’S LAW MAGAZINE ravel about 80 miles southwest from San Antonio by way of Interstate 35 and you’ll get to the small city of Dilley, the self-proclaimed watermelon capital of Texas and the site of the South Texas Family Residential Center (STFRC), the largest family immigrant detention center in the United States.

The facility, one of three family detention centers in the country, houses hundreds Tof mothers and their minor children, most of whom have made the perilous journey to the United States from Central America’s Northern Triangle of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. Placed in a fast-track deportation process called “expedited removal,” nearly all are seeking asylum to escape pervasive gang violence and domestic abuse in their home countries.

Between 2015 and 2016 alone, over 180,000 children and families were apprehended at southern U.S. border crossings. “This is a humanitarian crisis,” says Kathryn (Katie) Shepherd, an attorney at the pro-immigrant American Immigration Council. For almost 10 years, the Texas native has worked to advance and protect the rights of noncitizens seeking humanitarian relief in the United States.

It’s a career path that unfolded right after college, when Shepherd spent a year volunteering at the Texas Civil Rights Project, helping undocumented women prepare self-petitions under the Violence Against Women Act. “It was a rewarding experience that solidified my desire to go to law school and to practice immigration law,” she says. At St. John’s Law, Shepherd participated in the Refugee and Immigrant Rights Litigation Clinic, run in partnership with Catholic Charities, and founded a chapter of Amnesty International.

Returning to Texas soon after her Law School graduation, Shepherd worked as an associate in private practice and then started her own firm to focus exclusively on asylum cases. “While in private practice, I started volunteering with the CARA Pro Bono Project in Dilley, which brings volunteers from across the country to STFRC and the other family detention centers to provide detained mothers and children with pro bono representation,” Shepherd shares.

In 2015, Shepherd became the managing attorney of the CARA Pro Bono Project, overseeing a team of lawyers, advocates, and volunteers. “In Dilley, we work around the clock knowing that every deportation we stop, every mother and child we pull off a plane, is a life saved,” she says. “It’s incredibly high stakes lawyering. For these detainees, having competent representation from the start of the asylum process can literally mean the difference between life or death.”

The following year, Shepherd was tapped for a one-year fellowship at the American Immigration Council in Washington, D.C., where she worked on legal advocacy and policy related to asylum-seeking women and children. “The fellowship allowed me to continue advocating for this most vulnerable group at the national level,” she says. “I helped to build litigation to protect due process rights for noncitizens and to preserve this country’s proud legacy of offering humanitarian aid to those in need.”

In July, Shepherd and her American Immigration Council colleagues joined with the Center for Constitutional Rights and Latham & Watkins LLP to file a class action lawsuit challenging the Customs and Border Protection’s practice of turning away asylum seekers who present themselves at ports of entry along the Mexico-United States border. “The suit was the culmination of many months of hard work, and one of the primary focuses of my fellowship year,” Shepherd says. “It was so gratifying to be part of this concerted effort to right a wrong.”

Shepherd is continuing her vital work on behalf of detained noncitizens in her new role as National Advocacy Counsel for the American Immigration Council. “When people ask me why I became an immigration attorney, I tell them it’s because I don’t like bullies,” she says. “Among other major obstacles, asylum seekers are forced to overcome language barriers, health issues, and terrible trauma in making their case to immigration officials and the courts. The importance of having access to counsel every step of the way can’t be overstated. There are boundless opportunities right now for attorneys to gain hands-on experience in the field, and I can’t emphasize enough the value of working directly with these clients. It’s a life- changing experience.”

And, on a recent sultry summer evening, the historic performance space played the fitting host to a group of St. John’s Law alumni in the entertainment industry, who come together regularly in New York City.

It’s an eclectic ensemble of veterans and newcomers working in house or in law firms under the “entertainment law” umbrella.

And some jobs, and passions, are great preparation for law school. Just ask RICHARD PAWELCZYK ’96, the Webster Hall Entertainment Corp. executive who hosted the alumni group meetup at Webster Hall this summer. “This industry is populated by frustrated musicians,” he says. “I played in bands, and music has always been a passion, even the business side—like when I was young and studying the liner notes on an album (when there were albums).”

At St. John’s Law, Pawelczyk took his interest in music to Professor Beard’s Intellectual Property classroom. “He was the entertainment law guy at the Law School and provided the foundation of much of what I do today,” he says. JOSEPH JEROME ’93 shares a similar view from his vantage point as senior vice president, legal and business affairs at CBS Television Distribution. “Practitioners need to be aware of the ever-changing platforms and players who comprise the entertainment universe from all realms,” he says.

Jerome pursued film studies as an undergraduate, but found himself working full time in his family’s insurance business after college. “I always wanted to be in the entertainment industry, and enrolling in the evening program at St. John’s Law provided a bridge to achieving that dream,” he says. “But it wasn’t until taking Professor Beard’s Copyright Law class in my third year that I fully realized I could marry my passion for entertainment with the practice of law.”

FALL 2017 l 23 ALUMNI HIGHLIGHTS

1 Dear Friends, It’s my great pleasure to serve as your alumni association president for 2017–2018. My husband, Mark, and I met at St. John’s Law 25 years ago and our daughter, Stephanie, is a 2016 graduate. The Law School is near and dear to our hearts, and we’re very proud to be part of this wonderful alumni community. As the parent of a recent graduate, I’ve had the opportunity to see how today’s St. John’s Law compares to the Law School I knew and loved as a student. It’s clear that it remains a close and congenial community where a diverse student body learns the fundamentals of the law from an exceptional faculty. 2 But, under the leadership of Dean Michael A. Simons, St. John’s Law students now benefit from innovative courses, programs, and initiatives that position them for success in our global profession. These opportunities include in-house and partner clinics and externship placements where students learn the law hands on. The Law School is also home to a range of academic centers, and to the new Mattone Family Institute for Real Estate Law, where students engage with the profession and hone practical and networking skills. These advances, and many others, wouldn’t be possible without the support of our close-knit and loyal alumni family. And it’s my mission as president to continue this proud tradition of helping alma mater thrive. Please join me. 3 Participate in Alumni Association events and CLE programs, volunteer to mentor current students and recent graduates, participate in programs sponsored by the Law School’s student organizations and Career Development Office, hire St. John’s Law, and—last but certainly not least—please financially support our Law School. A strong St. John’s Law benefits us all! I look forward to working with you,

32 l ST. JOHN’S LAW MAGAZINE ABOUT JOHN V. BRENNAN ’63C, ’66L, ’93HON

fter four years of active service in the military, John V. Brennan began his Acollege education at St. John’s College as an evening student on the G.I. Bill in 1957, earning his baccalaureate degree in English in 1963. In 1960 he joined United States Aviation Underwriters, the largest aviation insurance organization in the world. He never left, assuming positions of ever-increasing responsibility within the corporate structure.

Brennan earned his J.D. from St. John’s Law in 1966 and became a specialist in products liability law, publishing numerous scholarly articles and actively participating in many aviation insurance and legal seminars. In 1990 he was appointed to the position of chairman and chief executive officer of U.S. Aviation Underwriters and served as its leader until his retirement in 1994.

Brennan’s professional responsibilities involved him in numerous cases that received worldwide attention, including the tragedy of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Such involvement created in him an acute concern for airline safety, and he served on the boards of several foundations concerned with this issue.

He received the Federal Aviation Administration’s Distinguished Service Medal in 1991 and the Flight Safety Foundation Presidential Citation in 1992.

Yet, despite his enormous professional responsibilities, Brennan remained committed in true Vincentian fashion to serving God and those of God’s family who have special needs. He served on the board of trustees of the Papal Foundation, the organization charged with assisting in the financial support of the Holy See and is a Steward of St. Peter, as well as a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre. In 2012 the Brennans were received into the spiritual family of St. Vincent de Paul.

In 1982 the Brennan family took a leading role in establishing The INN (The Interfaith Nutrition Network) on Long Island. In 2000, they became the primary benefactor in building the St. Thomas More Church and became major contributors to the Carnesecca Arena. They are pleased to continue their support of St. John’s today.

Brennan and his wife, Anita, a 2008 recipient of the St. John’s University St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Medal, have five children, two of whom, like their father, are alumni of the School of Law.

St. John’s recognized in John Brennan one who combined the ideas of education with the ideals which are a special part of Vincentian education and, in 1993, proudly conferred upon this loyal and illustrious alumnus, honoris causa, the degree of Doctor of Laws and awarded him the Medal of Honor in 1995.
