Designed to accommodate 20 years of growth with its 53,000 square feet, the designated day of expansion for Schaffer Law Library arrived in August 2006. The collection has grown exponentially since its inception, giving it one of the nation’s top rankings. Even so, Associate Dean and Director of Schaffer Law Library Robert Begg sees a long future with the current structure. “We’ll never need to expand this building,” Begg said recently. “At the time of its opening, no one anticipated the vast expansion of computers, especially the role of the Internet and the use of laptops.” The American Bar Association ranked the library 24th of 189 law schools for volumes and equivalents held, and 25th for volumes and equivalents added from the previous year—despite Albany Law’s minor slow-down of hardcopy buying. “It’s necessary to maintain our hardcopy and microform collections,” Begg said, “but our growth rate continues to decrease. Someday law

18 libraries will contain only a basic core of print and archival sources as the shift to online resources continues.” Begg said portions of the 680,000-volume collection grow at dif- ferent rates. For example, the Treatise Collection expands faster than any other, and while the State Collection fills a wing, its growth is slow. “It’s a little tricky to house the collection efficiently when the rate of growth and use varies significantly among the collections.” In the Beginning From groundbreaking to opening in 1986, the Schaffer Law Library project took a little more than a year. In that time the school raised $6 million of its $12 million campaign goal. Matthew Bender Company boosted the library’s collection in its new home by donating all of its publications that first year. This has happened every year to date, with the value of the gift increasing from $75,000 in 1986 to more than $600,000 this year. The former library now houses the Dean Alexander Moot Courtroom, faculty offices, the Matthew Bender classroom for 80 students and a seminar room. Five library staff members have been with the library since the new building opened—Martha Doyle, Connie Rohloff, Mary Wood, Robert Emery and Robert Begg. Three others have been there for more than 15 years—Traci Tosh, Nancy Lenahan and Robert Eaton. “Don’t start me talking about the staff,” Begg said. “The level of knowledge is astounding.” Today “The library is heavily used by the local and bar,” Begg said. The library remains open to the public during the day, open to attorneys— some 60 percent of Capital Region’s practicing bar are Albany Law alumni—and the law school community during all its open hours. It also provides professional resource help until 7 p.m. most weeknights. “In the absence of adequate public law library facilities in the region,” Begg said, noting that the New York State Library is closed at night and weekends, “the Schaffer Law Library serves as the central public law library for Greater Albany.”—DS

E Thought By David Singer H

Over the past two decades, Albany Law School has built a small arsenal of courses sur- rounding health law. Largely by design—and partly by a fortunate location—the School now boasts a robust concentration taught by prestigious experts organized around topics like managed care, health policy, bioethics, elder law, malpractice, genetics and intellec- tual property in biotechnology. Only a few other schools in the nation offer the three-year J.D./M.S. joint degree in law and bioethics that Albany Law introduced earlier this year in conjunction with , the Graduate College of Union University and the Alden March Bioethics Institute. Students can also earn an LL.M. in health law. “How many law schools in this country share campuses with a major teaching hospital and a pharmacy college?” asked President and Dean Thomas F. Guernsey. “It only makes sense to continue building the health law program,” given the obvious access to the Capital’s bounty of state agencies, the legislature, the attorney general’s office, biotech companies, statewide health-related associations and the abutting V.A. Hospital. The expanse of health law spills beyond health-centered courses into other areas of law, such as antitrust and labor law issues, said Professor Dale Moore. She teaches a class to help students understand the health law landscape by surveying its expansive opportunities. “Students might be interested in litigation, malpractice, privacy issues around federal regulations, or even licensing issues,” said Moore. “I steer them toward a different package of classes than, say, someone interested in the business end with the tax, antitrust and finance issues.” Also, not-for-profit health care institutions, which must remain compliant with rules governing charitable organizations while attempting to compete with a growing for-profit sector, regularly require sophisticated legal advice, said Moore.

40 Albany Law School Report of Gifts 2005-2006 ALUMNI

From the Chair

The Report of Gifts acknowledges the generous support of contributors to Albany Law School during the period of July 1, 2005 - June 30, 2006. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of our donor listings. We regret Dear Alumni, Friends any error or omission and Campus Community and ask you to notify Morgan Morrissey, administrative assistant s I complete my second year as National Chair of the Albany Law School Fund, I am for Development, with very pleased to report that Annual Fund history has again been made at Albany Law any corrections at School. 518-445-3218 or e-mail A annualgiving @albanylaw.edu. For the second year in a row Albany Law School alumni/ae, friends, faculty and staff have contributed the highest amount ever to the Albany Law School Fund. More than $923,000 was donated to the Annual Fund, an essential source of unrestricted dollars each year.

Another remarkable accomplishment is that the alumni participation rate in supporting the Albany Law School Fund has increased from a 19 percent high of last year to an all time record of 23 percent. Considering the national average for alumni participation in law schools is 14 percent, we should all be extremely proud of the alumni support given to our alma mater.

As Dean Guernsey reported in his June letter, Albany Law School has succeeded in achieving great accomplishments over the past few years, enabling Albany Law to progress ever closer toward the goals the Dean, the Board of Trustees and the faculty have set. Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our many volunteers and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Barrister and National Alumni Association volunteer; Reunion Giving Chairs; Associate Dean and Faculty Chair Connie Mayer; and Staff Chair Connie Rohloff and her staff annual fund committee for their leadership in helping the Albany Law School Fund achieve such success.

Your response to our volunteers and staff, as well as mailings and phone calls indicate alumni support the direction Albany Law School is going. Through your support we are working toward making a great institution even better.

Memorial Scholarship 64 Mutually Beneficial Giving “A Charitable Remainder Trust is a smart way to benefit the Law School without giving up an asset—your asset works for you for your lifetime and enhances the School’s endowment in the future.” —Robert Gianniny, Esq., ’53 Trustee Emeritus Bob and his wife Joanne chose a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) to make a major gift to Albany Law School. The CRT allows them to receive an income stream during their lifetimes and triggered a charitable deduction in the year of their gift. I Depending on the ages of the income beneficiaries and payment rates, a CRT can provide a higher annual return than the donor currently receives on the asset used to fund the CRT. In accordance with IRS regulations, CRTs are invested and administered carefully to pre- serve the principal for the charity, and can be managed by the Law School or by an outside trustee chosen by the donor. I “I was inspired by the impact I saw these types of gifts had on Albany Law while I served on the Board of Trustees,” Bob says, “and I am confident our decision to establish a life income trust was smart for us as well as the School.”
