Even with the new Comcast Tower topping out at 975 feet, overall office occupancy still climbed to 89%, as the expansion of existing firms and several new arrivals downtown pushed Class A rents up 14%. For the first time in 15 years, Center City increased its share of regional office space. Healthcare and educational institutions continued to attract students, patients and research dollars to downtown, while elementary schools experienced strong demand from the growing number of families in Center City with children. The Pennsylvania Convention Center expansion commenced and plans advanced for new hotels, as occupancy and room rates steadily climbed. On Independence Mall, the National Museum of American Jewish History started construction, while the Barnes Foundation retained designers for a new home on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Housing prices remained strong, rents steadily climbed and rental vacancy rates dropped to 4.6%, as new residents continued to flock to Center City. While the average condo sold for $428,596, 115 units sold in 2007 for more than $1 million, double the number in 2006.

  • What Trust Law Can Teach Us About Conflicts of Interest
    LESLIE - DRAFT 08HP 4/26/2010 9:32:31 AM HELPING NONPROFITS POLICE THEMSELVES: WHAT TRUST LAW CAN TEACH US ABOUT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST MELANIE B. LESLIE1 INTRODUCTION Over the past decade, scandals involving nonprofit boards and con- flicts of interest have been the subject of considerable public attention. The resulting bad publicity, Congressional hearings, and calls for reform have failed to mitigate the problem. In 2009 alone the country witnessed several spectacular examples of self-dealing by nonprofit directors. For example, The Boston Globe recently reported that Suffolk University has a $10,000 per month contract with Wolfblock Public Strategies, lobbyist Robert Crowe’s firm. Robert Crowe is also a Suffolk University trustee, and a member of the compensation committee that made University President David Sargent the highest-paid University President in 2006. When two Boston Globe reporters questioned Crowe about the apparent conflict-of- interest, he replied, “[t]o even insinuate there is a conflict is wrong. There is no conflict . [w]hether or not my public strategy group is paid $10,000 is not relevant. We don’t make money on that. We are providing a service to Suffolk.”2 Ezra Merkin, the chair of Yeshiva University’s investment committee, invested millions of dollars of Yeshiva University’s endowment with Ascot Partners, a hedge fund he controlled.3 His 1.5% management fee was ar- guably higher than Yeshiva could have obtained from an arms-length transaction. Worse, Yeshiva’s board allegedly did not require Merkin to disclose his investment strategy as a condition to taking the money.

  • Law Firms: Public Interest and Pro Bono Opportunities Public Service Opportunities for Second Year Law Students
    LAW FIRMS: PUBLIC INTEREST AND PRO BONO OPPORTUNITIES PUBLIC SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SECOND YEAR LAW STUDENTS PUBLIC INTEREST OPPORTUNITIES FOR SECOND YEAR STUDENTS Pro Bono Opportunities Working at a firm for a summer or as a graduate does not mean that you can't be involved in public interest and pro bono work. There are opportunities for service through the many established law firm pro bono and public service fellowship programs. Below is an outline of some of those programs. Many of the law firms that participate in Penn Law School's OCI program have strong pro bono programs in which their summer associates and attorneys can participate. Many of the firms that participate in Penn Law recruiting programs are signatories of the American Bar Association's Pro Bono Challenge and have agreed to donate a certain percentage of their billable hours to pro bono. Additionally, several firms have developed programs that allow their summer associates to work with a public interest organization for longer periods, usually from one to seven weeks. Public Interest Split Summers The firms listed below have programs that allow summer associates to spend some part of their summer at a public interest organization. Associates are often paid their firm salary for both parts of the summer, although other arrangements can be made. Firms may or may not recruit on campus. Additionally, you should check with the firms’ web sites for the most up-to-date and correct information. Arnold & Porter, NY www.arnoldporter.com Arnold & Port allows a 2L to split the summer between the firm and a New York City public interest organization.
