I. Introduction
The complainant was plaintiff in a serie of four lawsuits against Tulane Universit in which th Hon. Ginger Berrigan was Pr siding Judge. Relatively recent) , he learned that Judge Berrigan has had a material and continuing relationship with the defendant.
Under Canon 3 of the ode of Judicial onduct, Judge Berrigan had a duty to disclose her as ociation with Tulane before sitting in any cas in which Tulane was a defendant. From Januar , 1995 onward Judge Berrigan continuously violated this Code in all of the complainant's lawsuits where she presided and failed to make any disclo ure.
II. Statement of Facts
A. Professorship
Federal District ourt Judge Ginger Berrigan i Adjunct Associate Professor of Law at Tulane University and taught the cours Trial Advocacy during the 1995-96 academic year [1 2]. Since then, Judge Berrigan has maintained a professional association with Tulane through her continued participation in the Law School's Judicial Externship Program [3-5] and as a substitute instructor for the course, Federal Practice & Procedure: Trials [6], taught by the 76-year-old Adjunct Professor Federal District Court Judge Charles Schwartz Jr. [7].
B. Board Membership
In 1990, Judge Berrigan then an attorney was appointed to the Board of Directors of Tulane University's Amistad Research Center, a position she occupied until 1997 [8].
13 ERRIGAN.Q9C - I - The Amistad Research Center occupies a wing of Tilton Memorial Hall on the campus of Tulane University [9]. Tulane not only furnishes the ~enter with a rent-free physical site, it funded $200.000 in improvements and contributed $12,000 in relocation costs [1 OJ. Tulane also provides a budget of about $63,200 in 1986 dollars, whjch is adjusted annually for inflation and used for unrestricted operating expenses [1 OJ. Two members of Amistad's Board of Directors are appointed by Tulane [11 ], which publically represents the Center as a Tulane affiliate [12-14]. In addition, Amistad' s Executive Director, Comptroller and other key administrative personnel (15) are listed in the Tulane Faculty and Staff Directory [16].
C. Cases Adjudicated
In all, Judge Berrigan sat in four lawsuits brought by the complainant against Tulane University. The first, Civil Action 95-358, was filed January 31 , J 995. Subsequently, two other lawsuits were filed in State Court (97-20805 and 98-6317). These were removed by Tulane to Federal Court, where they were docketed as Civil Actions 98-2102 and 98-1577, respectively, and assigned to Judge Berrigan. The fourth case, which was filed directly in U.S. District Court on June I 8, 1998, is Civil Action 98- 1792. Civil Actions 98-1792 and 98-2102 were later consolidated under the former docket number and are currently active.
III. Discussion
A. Professorship
Judge Berrigan recently defended her qualification to sit by stating that she serves merely as a substitute instmctor in Tulane's course, Federal Practice & Procedure: Trials [6]. This partial admission fails to reveal the true extent of Judge Berrigan's association with Tulane during the past four years and does not release her from her duty to have disclosed this fully before sitting in any case in which Tulane was defendant.
B. Board Membership
Judge Berrigan further defended her qualification to sit by inferring that the Amistad Research Center is an entity that is independent from Tulane [6]. Again, the facts demonstrate that the Amistad Center, as other Tulane centers, is materially dependent on Tulane for its existence. In addition to providing financial assistance, Tulane also chooses two members of Amistad's Board of Governors (11). Amistad's top administrators are listed by Tulane together with other Faculty/Staff members [16].
According to Tulane's 1995 Faculty Handbook [17], the Amistad Research Center is one of many such centers affiliated with the University. Since publication of that handbook, other centers have been added [14). Like most other Tulane centers, Amistad
BERRJGAN.99C -2- Center also derives funding from extramural sources. For example, the Tulane Regional Primate Research Center and the Center for Bioenvirorunental Research receive government grants in addition to the support they receive from Tulane and, like th Amistad Research Center are considered integral parts of the University [14, 17] .
C. Compensation
Finally, Judge Berrigan defended ber qualification to sit by stating that h r teaching activities in Tulane s Law chool involve no [financial] compensation [6]. Generally, adjunct professors are not paid by Tulane University for their service in academic programs. However with the lifetime salary provided a federal judge by the U.S. government monetary compensation would appear to be secondary to the pr stige a judge may derive from a university professorship. Moreover participating in teaching programs or acting as a mentor may satisfy a sense of professional duty, the discharge of which is deemed compensation enough. Fur1hermore, interaction with other prominent jurists in a university setting would allow a judge to keep abreast of new legal developments, which is a priceless professional benefit.
JV. Ethics
According to Shaman el al. 1 and the case law cited to support his determination, " ... it i th obligation of a judge to disclose all facts that might be grounds for disqualification. Further Canon 3C of the Code of Judicial Conduct, adopted in 1990 by the American Bar Association and xtensively reviewed by Abramson 2 states, in part, 'A judge should disqualify himself in a proce ding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned ... .' Under Canon 3 of the Code of Judicial Conduct, Judge Berrigan had a duty to disclose her association with Tulane before sitting in any cas in which Tulane was a defendant. From January 1995 onward, Judge Berrigan continuously violated this Code with respect to the complainant's lawsuits against Tulane University when she sat and failed to make any disclosure.
Once the facts of her association with the defendant were discovered by the complainant and brought to her attention Judge Berrigan responded "There is no basi for the plaintiffs suggestion that [myJ impartiality might reasonably be questioned by virtue of these .. . circumstances ... ' [6]. In addition to her failure to disclose, Judge Berrigan 's actions contradicted
1 .Judicial onducl and Ethics, 2 ed., haman J.M., Lub t, S., Alfini, J.J .; Michie Law Pub., harlottesvill , VA (1995), p. 146.
2 Judicial Disqualification under anon 3 of the ode of.Judicial onducl, 2 ed., Abramson, L.W., American Judicature oc., Chicago IL (1992), pp. l-48.
13 ERRIGAN .99C - 3 - the ethical principle elaborated by Shaman, el al. 3 and supported by case law that ' It is not the duty of the patiies to search out disqualifying facts about tb judg ... it is the judge s obligation to disclose all possibly disqualifying facts. '
V. Conclusions
A reasonable person would question th impartiality of an. judge who was an adjunct faculty member at a defendant university and had a continuing association with that university during even part of the time the case was befor him or her. Under Canon 3 of the Code of Judicial Conduct Judge Berrigan had a duty to disclose her association with Tulane be ore sitting in any case in which Tulane was a defendant. Judge Berrigan's failure to make any disclosur of her direct substantive, and continuing association with the defendant over th course of four years as Presiding Judg must be se n as a breach ofjudicial conduct that goes beyond mere negligence or harmless error· it sugg sts that he had an interest in the outcome of the procedings that derived from her relationship with the defendant.
Judge Berrigan s censure and/or discipline appears warranted and appropriate.

The Amistad Research Center is localed in Iha north wing (10 the right) of Ti\1on Memorial Hall.
The American Missionary Association (A. M. A.) established the Amistad Research Center in 1966 to serve as iLS archives departmenl. The Center was localed al Fisk University as an .adjunct to the A. M. A. 's Race Relations Department with Clifton H. Johnson serving as director of both the Cemer and the Race Relations DcpartmcnL. In addition to administering the parent body's archives, Amistad was directed to collect manuscripLS and other primary source materials relating to I.he history of those clhnic groups with which the A. M. A. had historically worked , specifically African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and Appalachian whites. The Center began with the archives of the A. M. A. from the formation of Lhe Amisl:id Commiuee in 1839 to the end of the Reconstruction period, approximately 350,000 documents. Collecting more than three million items during iLS first three years, the Center soon required additional space and staff to provide satisfactory security for iLS precious holdings and LO make them accessible for research use. The A. M. A. was commiued to the support of the six ins titu tions of higher education and other programs, and the needs of the Center required more funds than
Exhibit 9
Carl Bcmofsky the Association was prepared to give al the time. Consequenlly, the A. M.A. allowed Amistad to incorporate as an independent institution with a self-perpetuating board of directors. With assurance from the A. M. A. that its basic support would continue, I.he Center was now free to solicit support from other sow-ces.
After incorporation, the Center moved to I.he campus of Dillard University, which generous ly provided housing and other services for a decade, dwing which the manuscript holdings increased beyond the capacity of I.he quarters Dillard could provide. Consequently, in 1980, the Center moved into Lhe Old United States Mint under a dollar-a-year lease with the Louisiana State Museum. It was believed that the space there would provide adequate quarters to accomodate the Center's growth for the next fifi.een years, but in six years I.he expanding holdings had filled all available shelf space. When this became known, several prestigious universities submiLLed propo sals to have the Center locate on their campuses. After a year of consideration of the various pr~posals, the board of directors selected Tulane University as the Center's home. In addition to providing larger quarters and additional financial support, Tulane allowed the Center to retain its independence. One external factor that led to I.he decision to move LO its present home was a petition from several thousand African American residents of New Orleans asking the directors to locate the Center at Tulane. Another facLOr was I.he organization by then mayor Ernest N. Moria! of the Amist.ad Educational Consortium composed of nine New Orleans institutions of higher education which pledged to work with the Center in developing programs Lo serve the entire New Orleans community as well as scholarly research.
Today the Center holds approximately ten million manuscript pieces. over 19,000 books, runs on 1,125 serials, 1,711 reels of microfilm, hundreds of oral his.tory interviews, and a variety of other sound recordings, video tapes, and motion picture film, all of which document the histo ries of race relations, civil rights, and the life and culture of ethnic minorities in the United States. The Center also holds more Lhan Lhree hundred paintings and pieces of sculpture by African American artists and over one hundred pieces of African art. These resources au.n1ct research schol ars to the Center from around the world, and the works of art have been exhibited in some of America's leading museums.
While the Ceni.er endeavors to collect records of significant institutions and organizations and the personal papers of men and women who have achieved fame and wide recognition, it has had riocable success in its special emphasis on documenting the day-to-day life of the people. Another distinctive feaLw-e of I.he Ceni.er is I.hat, in addition to serving advanced research scholars, efforts are made to encourage others, especially clcmcmary and secondary sLudcms, LO use the holdings and experience the thrill of reading and interpreting I.he raw materials from whi ch history is written.

Another "tenuous connection" to Tulane is Judge Berrigan's involvement with the
Amistad Research Center. While the degree of her involvement is best known by the Judge, the relationship between Tulan~ and the Center is a matter of puh1ic record. The .tunistad Research
Center (hereinafter the "Center") is a non-profit corporation and a completely separate entity from Tulane. [Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is a description of the Amistad Research Center as contained in the Tulane Faculty Handbook]. Tulane neither controls nor owns the Center, and does not pay the salaries of its employees. Tulane provides space for the Center on its
Uptown campus. There, the Center makes available to the general public materials of historic significance pertaining to the history and culture of ethnic minorities in the United States. The
Center is administered by a Board of Directors, only two of whom are appointed by Tulane. -+
Tulane's appointees are drawn from its own faculty and staff. Tulane has never appointed Judge
Berrigan or any other judge to the Center's Board of Directors.
If · it 1s, indeed, Bernofsky's contention that there here exists the appearance of
impropriety based upon such limited contacts, he has ignored case law to the contrary, See, for
example, Lunde v. Helms, 29 F.3d 367, 370 (8th Cir.1994)("We do not think that the district
judge's having graduated from the university law school, even though the university is a party
defendant, without more is a reasonable basis for questioning the judge's impartiality."); Easley

RESEARCH CENTERS AND INSTITUTES
The units named below have been selected because of unusual character, established position in a field of knowledge, diversity of interests reflected, or other distinctive features. Much work of comparable significance is in progress using the various libraries and laboratories on the uptown campus and in the Medical Center as well as in field settings. The libraries are described in the section on Physical Facilities. Most of the laboratories are under departmental administration although some of them serve interdisciplinary efforts. A list of such facilities would be considerable in length and would not represent the type or importance of projects under way.
