Rethinking Accreditation

ABA proposals have broad implications

by Dean John Garvey

here’s something really interesting going on within the American Bar Association, and it could have a significant impact on legal education. Law schools—like uni versities, and, for that matter, elementary and secondary schools—are subject to accreditation requirements. The United States Department of Education recognizes Taccrediting agencies and approves their standards. of Legal Education and a member of the Standards For law schools, the accrediting agency is the ABA.

From Class Nerd to Chess Champion

Law student ranks among top US players

harles Riordan was in seventh grade, a self- C described “class nerd,” when he answered a challenge from a classmate to play a game of chess. “I got checkmated in four moves, much to the delight of everyone watching,” says Rior- dan. “At that point, I realized I needed to learn how to play and get a little revenge.” This year, the United States Chess Federation ranked the second-year BC Law student among the top 100 chess players in the country. Riordan, who is an editorial assistant to Professor Dan Coquillette, regularly participates in top tournament play in the region and throughout the country. “I like the fact that it’s a problem-solving exercise. I like that it’s unexplored in a lot of ways. There is a whole theoretical discussion about the best way to get a good position out of the opening for both colors,” says Riordan, pausing to laugh. “I guess that’s very dull to anyone who doesn’t play. But I enjoy that you get to make new discoveries for yourself, your own subset of knowledge.” A Cambridge native, Rior- dan credits a parent of his high school chess club for getting him interested in competing on the national level. There are a lot of people who equate children playing chess to kids doing well in school, he says, “but I think there’s less cause and effect there. You have p ellegrini

The hurtful slurs of a class bully. The uproarious travails of a ship’s cook. A grandmother’s courageous stands. The instinct to aid a fellow seaman. These are among the transformative influences and events that shaped the lives and legal ambitions of the BC Law Class of 2012. In the competitive world of law school admissions, the personal essay can be an eloquent advocate for an applicant. From among the statements of current 1Ls, we selected the writings of seven. Collectively, their experiences provide a glimpse into the character of the class as a whole. An eighth voice is represented here as well, in the photographs of student Jacob Silberberg, a Pulitzer Prize finalist who for six years covered some of the world’s most troubled zones. His job this time was a happier one: making the portraits that accompany his classmates’ essays.

For Clyde D. Bergstresser ’74, photography is an antidote to the high-stakes, high-stress world he inhabits as a trial lawyer at Campbell Campbell Edwards & Conroy. By day he enters the fray as a plaintiffs’ attorney in personal injury cases of the sort that give mental patients the right to refuse invasive drug treatment. By night—and in nearly every spare moment—he retreats to the Tibetan Plateau, the deserts of Africa, the plains of Myanmar, even the gardens of Boston, looking for a different kind of truth. He finds it in the easy kinship of two boy monks, in the gnarls of an ancient olive tree, in the startling charge of an electrical storm. “In subtle ways, photography has informed me as a lawyer,” Bergstresser says.

24 BC Law magazine | fall / winter 2009 www.bc.edu/lawalumni 25 26 BC Law magazine | fall / winter 2009 “Photography is about learning to slow down and see.” It is also how he connects to a jury, by creating images with words that make his stories—and his arguments—convincing. A policeman’s son with a fondness for motorcycles, an athlete’s competitive streak, and a math and science whiz’s penchant for precision, Bergstresser easily mastered the technical challenges of photography, first in the darkroom and later in the digital environment. He favors large, exactingly printed black and white pictures. After thirty years of shooting, his collection now tops 100,000 images. —Vicki Sanders

Woe Is the Class of 2011 by Ali Russell ’11

We’ve heard much ado about the Class of 2009: Those who managed to dodge delayed start dates and relinquished offers have an uphill battle to prove themselves in a leaner and somber office setting. We’ve heard the moans and groans of the Class of 2010: The pomp and exuberance from Big Law summers was scaled back, and there were no longer guaranteed offers to reward summer associates for doing document review for twelve weeks. But what about the Class of 2011, or, as I have affectionately dubbed it, the “Lost Generation of Law Stu- dents?” Perhaps the reason why no one has heard from them is because they have been too busy licking the envelopes on their mass mailings and saying prayers that the economy will turn around by this summer. As a member of Boston College Law School’s Class of 2011, I can tell you what it’s like in the trenches, and it ain’t pretty. Many law firms dropped out of the fall recruiting schedule. Those that did not, severely cut their summer programs. I went in for one interview, and upon learning that the firm was interviewing eighteen students at BC, as well as multiple students from BU and Harvard, my competitive nature emerged. I’d show those Harvard kids! But after Some jobseekers generalized, “I hate being told there were only four positions available, I sank back in my chair, all ‘suits.’ Why are they hogging the wind gone from my “I’m nailing all of the interviews?” Others envied, this interview” sails. At least I have a deck of cards and a nice highlighter to “I wish I could be in a suit.” remember the occasion. Government agencies closed their deadlines early because they were inundated with applications. Well, I wasn’t sure how to spin my creative-writing background for an SEC interview anyway. Most students have been proactive, realizing that chances of securing a job through on- campus interviews (nicknamed OCIs) are not as great as they once were. Many of my friends sent out numerous resumes to law firms and government agencies, only to have a wave of (continued on page 53)

Greenfield battles issues of sexual bias and corporate irresponsibility

ropped on the floor in Kent Green- field’s office is a framed poster-sized P portrait of President Barack Obama. On Inauguration Day 2009, Greenfield and his then ten-year-old son Liam stood shoulder to shoulder with thousands on The Mall in Washington, DC. “It was a day of real pride for me, and I was happy to be able to take my son,” says the soft- spoken corporate law professor, who was an early Obama supporter and an activist in his campaign. As a teenager growing up in a Southern Baptist family, Greenfield himself was an enthusiastic high school politician who imagined a future as Governor of Ken- tucky. Hearing his minister father give a sermon not long ago, Greenfield says he was struck by the similarity between him and his dad. “I’m not motivated by religious principles and values in the same way,” he says, “but what I do is not that different from what he does. He’s not a fire and brimstone kind of guy, and I’m not a fire and brimstone kind of guy.” After studying economics and history at Brown University, Greenfield traveled in Africa and South America for several years before enrolling in the University of Chicago Law School. “I wanted to do law because I think it’s still the last best hope for generalists,” he says. His success there opened the door to what Greenfield considers one of the greatest honors of his life: the chance to clerk for Supreme Court Justice David Souter. By example, says Greenfield, he learned two invalu- able lessons from Souter: “You’re never too famous that you can’t be gracious and kind to those around you, and you’re never so smart that you shouldn’t always pay attention to the details.” Greenfield’s 2007 book, The Failure of Corporate Law: Fundamental Flaws and

ertain recruiting seasons stand out in history. In 1936, MGM Studios signed teenagers Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney— C both future academy award winners. In 1963, the Demo- cratic caucus in the United States Senate welcomed freshmen Edward RICHARD ALBERT Kennedy, George McGovern, and Birch Bayh. In 1965, the Chicago Assistant Professor Bears drafted future Hall of Famers Dick Butkus and Gayle Sayers. Scouting talent and planning for the future is what all organizations do, whatever the industry. This is no less true with law schools than it is with other franchises. Attracting the best and brightest teachers and scholars to educate our students is perhaps the most important thing we do. I suspect that many years from now, 2009 will be remembered as one of the premier recruiting seasons in the history of Boston College Law School. This is not just because we hired a large class of entering faculty (five), but also because of the enormous range and depth of the particular talent we were able to attract. Dan Kanstroom, an international authority on immigration law and human rights, transferred from a clinical faculty position to an open tenure track position. In addition, the Law School hired four new junior faculty to begin teaching in AY 2009-2010: Profes- sors Richard Albert, Paulo Barrozo, Daniel Lyons, and Intisar Rabb. You may read their impressive biographies at www.bc.edu/lawfaculty.They enrich our curriculum and faculty PAULO BARROZO expertise in the areas of property law, constitutional law, criminal law, Islamic law, and Assistant Professor moral philosophy. Our new faculty share impressive academic credentials (all hold at least one—and in several cases multiple—degrees from Harvard or Yale). After law school, they landed highly competitive judicial clerkships that helped prepare them for careers involving rigorous scrutiny of difficult legal problems (e.g., 9th Circuit, 3rd Circuit, Supreme Court of Canada). And, as is increasingly the case with new faculty hires, they have developed substantial publication records even before entering the academy (having already placed important articles in the American Journal of Comparative Law, the Wisconsin Law Review, the Michigan Journal of Law Reform, the Pennsylvania Journal of Constitu- tional Law, and the Journal of Criminal Law and Philosophy). Two salient features of this year’s freshman class bear particular emphasis. First is their interdisciplinary focus. Two of our new faculty members (Intisar Rabb and Paulo Bar- rozo) hold PhDs in other disciplines and expect to work extensively on joint projects with DANIEL LYONS the Philosophy and Political Science departments at Boston College. Dan Kanstroom has already partnered with faculty members from Theology and Political Science to found the Assistant Professor interdisciplinary Boston College Center for International Human Rights. The second notable feature is the international focus of their work. One of the Law School’s strategic initiatives in its Light the World Campaign is to expand our international and comparative law offerings. Having faculty members whose research interests are in comparative constitutional law, Islamic law, international criminal law, and international human rights law is an important advance in this strategic direction. In retrospect, I suspect that Boston College will be very proud of how it managed the recession of 2009. Less dependent on endowment for its operating costs than other major research universities, BC did not adopt a hiring freeze for faculty. In essence, BC has taken advantage of a buyers’ market during an economic downturn to attract top-notch talent, in years when many law schools are not hiring at all. This aggressive hiring strategy has already begun to reap great dividends and hopefully will benefit the Law School for many years to come. INTISAR RABB Assistant Professor

58 BC Law magazine | fall / winter 2009 Repetti Gives Inaugural Kenealy Lecture class of ’74 gift funds new professorship

rofessor James Repetti, a leading tax scholar and the first holder of the William J. Kenealy, SJ, Professorship, gave the chair’s inaugural lecture at the Law School in October on the role of P economic analysis in determining the future of the American tax system. The professorship is the result of a gift pledged five years ago by the Class of 1974 and completed in 2009. The Kenealy Professorship is among several chairs that are part of Boston College Law School’s $50 million goal in the University’s Light the World capital campaign. Richard P. Campbell ’74 was among the leadership donors to the Kenealy Professorship and attended Repetti’s lecture. “I was impressed by how far Boston College Law School has traveled since our class graduated,” he said. “The Law School is now, unequivocally, one of the nation’s best. I could almost feel its preeminence in the lecture hall—a renowned scholar addressing an accomplished alumni in a fabulous facility. It was a great event.” In his presentation, Repetti said concerns about fairness, administrability, and economic efficiency had traditionally played equal roles in the design of the tax system. In the past twenty years, however, concerns about economic efficiency appear to have dominated the debate. Repetti argued that economic efficiency should not play a greater role in structuring our tax system than concerns about the system’s fairness and administrability because the anticipated gains from economic efficiency are no more certain than gains associated with fairness and administrability. Repetti, who joined the faculty of BC Law School in 1986, was appointed as the first The Rev. William J. Kenealy, SJ, Professor at the start of this academic year. The professorship is named in honor of the member of the Law School’s first class who went on to serve as dean of the school from 1939–1956. “All of us in the Class of 1974 recognize that Boston College Law School’s ability to continue its spectacular growth will be, first and foremost, a function of the quality of its faculty,” said John Boc, chair of Meridian Investments and a member of the BC Law Board of Overseers. “Accord- ingly, we decided that the funding of the Kenealy Chair was the best way for us to contribute to that growth.” Repetti is co-author of the texts Partnership Income Taxa- tion, Introduction to United States International Taxation, Federal Wealth Transfer Taxation, Problems in Federal Wealth Transfer Taxation, and Tax Aspects of Organizing and Operating a Business and a contributing author to the treatises Comparative Income Taxation: A Structural Analysis and The International Guide to Partnerships. A 1975 magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College, Repetti received his JD magna cum laude and MBA degrees from Boston College in 1980, after which he clerked for Judge Walter Skinner, then worked for Ropes & Gray.

80 BC Law magazine | fall / winter 2009 My wife, Pat, and I decided “to do a charitable gift annuity for Boston College Law School because it was consistent with our retirement goals. Among other products, we had been purchasing annuities and were planning to buy another one. This planned gift provided the attractiveness of an annuity—it offers a reasonable rate of return and a portion of it is tax deductible— while enabling us to help a very valid and important program, the Law School, about which we care a great deal. We had already made a substantial pledge to the Law School Fund. The gift annuity ensures our contributions will continue into the future. —John Tarantino ”’81, BC Law Board of Overseers
