  • The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy
    2016–2017 Annual Report The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy Rappaport Distinguished Visiting Professor Martin O’Malley presenting to students and faculty The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy at Boston College Law School was established through a gift from the Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation. The Center educates, supports, mentors, and inspires gifted law students interested in government and public policy, and convenes local, state, and national thought leaders to engage in robust discourse on relevant issues affecting government. Message from the Dean Vincent D. Rougeau I am pleased to report on a very exciting second year for the Rappaport Center for Law and Public Policy at Boston College Law School. Through the generosity of the Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation, the Center became a part of BC Law School in 2015. The Center’s vision—to galvanize students, policy makers and thought leaders through dynamic programming that addresses important issues of law and public policy—was brought to life during our first year through the leadership of Faculty Director R. Michael Cassidy and Executive Director Vincent D. Rougeau Elisabeth J. Medvedow. Building upon this very successful foundation, our second year was marked by a number of dynamic conferences and programs on critical topics facing our democracy: race and policing, criminal justice reform, wealth inequality, state cooperation with immigration enforcement, and lifting the charter school cap in Massachusetts, among others. We also welcomed our first Rappaport Distinguished Visiting Professor, former Maryland Governor, former Mayor of Baltimore and recent presidential candidate Martin O’Malley. The Rappaport Fellows Program, a cornerstone of the Center that fosters the next generation of public policy leaders, continued to attract talented and dedicated students from seven Greater Boston-area law schools.
