Why anyone who’s ever studied with Ingrid Hillinger will never forget her. BY JANE WHITEHEAD PHOTOGRAPHS BY PATRICK O’CONNOR

21 M. Sparrow embarked on a systematic study of the qualities that make law professors excellent teachers who have a “significant, positive, and long-term effect on their students.” To find their subjects, they reviewed hundreds of nominations and scrutinized thousands of pages of interview transcripts, student evaluations, testimonial letters, and teaching materials. Having narrowed the field to twenty-six professors, through focus groups, interviews, and class observations, they identified attributes and behaviors that students valued highly in these teachers. The list included enthusiasm, empathy, responsibility, attentiveness, commitment to continuous improvement in their teaching, and concern for every student; a litany of qualities that Ingrid Hillinger’s students recite time and again.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS “I’m sure you’ve heard that I’m very tough,” said Hillinger, in a recent conversation. “I am. I don’t make any apologies. I do love my students, but loving them also means having very high expectations, because that’s the real world. And I try to have higher expectations of myself.” Professor Ingrid Hillinger’s first-year Contracts class is consider- Those expectations include relentless preparation and revision ing the question: When does an exchange of promises result in a of her teaching notes, often done in the small hours of the morning. contract?

Noah Hampson ’12, now a law clerk in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Wiscon- sin, was facing his final semester without ever having taken a Hillinger class. “I was told by more than one person,” he said, “that if I graduated from BC Law without taking a class with Ingrid Hillinger, my degree would be worth substantially less.” Schwartz’s research confirmed this. He found “there are lawyers and judges who regard taking Professor Hillinger’s bankruptcy class as a prerequisite to being eligible to be hired.” So Hampson signed up for Business Bank- ruptcy, his first and last commercial course. “I was led to bankruptcy by her reputation,” he said, laughing.

NO HIDING PLACE Hillinger imposes a certain formality and professional discipline in her classroom. She assigns seats, knows everyone by name, addresses students as “Mr.” and “Ms.” and calls on them randomly, without notice, in classes of every level. “You cannot hide in her class,” said second-year student Becky Mitchell. The initial impact of what Anthony Layton describes as “her big voice and her commanding presence,” can be “absolutely terrifying,” as Mitchell and many others attest. But underneath the intensity, “she likes to have fun with her classes,” said Santiago Posas ’15. “She’s very good at breaking things down into steps,” he said. “She’ll be able to find out what you can’t understand, while laughing with you.” 3L Jasmin Ali has taken all of Hillinger’s classes. In a ninety-minute session, said Ali, “there is not a single wasted word.” In Hillinger’s carefully crafted and chosen problems and hypotheticals, she said, “she packs information into every single example, every note; this almost surgical way to propel the lecture and at the same none of it is filler.” At the end of a Hillinger course, said Ali, she time bring the students along and keep them engaged.” Hamp- has about seventy pages of notes, rather than her usual thirty- son, a former student athlete, likened Hillinger to a coach “who five to forty. makes you want to do well for her.” “She commands respect by “Professor Hillinger does a really good job of teaching people demanding more from her students than I think most have ever how to be concise and precise—making sure you’re focusing your had demanded of them before,” he said. writing and hitting on the important points, but explaining those Hillinger has acute radar for students who are struggling. points clearly,” said Jennifer Kent ’13, now a first-year associ- “When I see a frown,” she said, “I know someone’s confused.

It influenced my view that as a lawyer I need to do something for the public, not just earn money.” As a member of the 2014 LLM class at BC Law School, Atakan is now focusing on international criminal law, and plans to pursue a PhD in international relations before returning to his native Turkey. Tomoko Misawa spent five years working as an in-house attorney at Mitsubishi Corporation in Tokyo before joining this year’s class. “As part of an in-house legal staff, we have to be able to make strategic decisions for the business. To do that in a global company, it’s important to know how different commercial lawyers are thinking,” says Misawa. Rita Couto earned a law degree in Brazil before launching a career as a tax strategist that brought her to Ernst & Young in New York. After the birth of her first child, she wanted to do more to help her community. “I realized I was more interested in public interest than wealth management,” she says. After completing her LLM, Couto plans to take the Massachusetts Bar. Atakan, Misawa, and Couto are representative of a significant movement taking place at the Law School. Last July, Professor Frank Garcia was appointed Associate Dean for Global Initiatives, a new position tasked with rethinking international curriculum and opportunities available at BC Law. “This position is about identifying possibili- ties,” Garcia says. “We have to rethink the LLM students Onur Atakan whole exercise of legal education from the of Turkey, Rita Couto of Brazil, top down and determine what it takes to and Tomoko Misawa of Japan train a lawyer for twenty-first century legal practice.” For Garcia, who has taught in France, Australia, Uruguay, and Austria, that means making the global perspective an integral part of the classroom experience.

Traitors, Spies, or Whistleblowers?

All leakers are not created equal, and why that matters

By Professor Mary-Rose Papandrea

ntil recently, the Department of Justice rarely prosecuted government insiders who disclosed national security information to the press. Times have certain- ly changed. The Obama Administration has undertaken more leak prosecutions than all the prior presidents combined, the wisdom of some of these leak Uprosecutions has been questionable at best, and one leaker—Bradley Manning—was charged with aiding the enemy, the military code equivalent of treason. The public debate surrounding the Bradley Man- ning and Edward Snowden leaks has involved a “name game”—are they traitors, leakers, or whistleblowers? Each of these labels carries connotations of righteous- ness and wrongdoing in the public’s mind. To the Executive branch, these labels are irrelevant. It regards all unauthorized information disclosures as posing the same threat to its ability to control the dissemination of national security information because all leaks expose our secrets, regardless of why they are made, to whom they are made, or what information they reveal. The rise of leak prosecutions coincides with dramatic changes in communications technology and the mass media. For at least the last century, it has generally been the nation’s leading newspapers and broadcasters that have published sensitive national security information, and for the most part, these

entities have been both cooperative and responsible BRIAN STAUFFER in their publication decisions. In the digital age, the ability to engage in the mass an exercise in futility.
