He has litigated matters from inception through appeal, with expertise in insurance-related litigation, products liability, commercial contract disputes and professional liability. Cronthall served two terms on the board of the Association of Business Trial Lawyers and also serves on the board of Public Counsel. Q: What is the most challenging case you have worked on and what made it challenging? A: My partner Scott Sveslosky and I handled a complex marine insurance coverage case that required extensive travel to several countries that are not signatories to the Hague Convention. It was a supreme challenge to arrange and take the depositions of dozens of third-party and party-affiliated witnesses located halfway around the globe, especially since our adversaries moved to quash all depositions that were potentially adverse. On two occasions, motions to quash and thereby prevent key depositions were brought on the eve of our departure overseas, which created uniquely challenging legal and practical dilemmas. For example, one of the depositions was to occur at an Indonesian prison. After numerous discovery motions and appellate proceedings, we prevailed on these issues and were permitted to use all of the testimony we obtained overseas.

Michael C. Barber, SJ Ray Kelly, the retired police commis- sioner of New York City, called the killing of George Floyd “the worst act of police brutality that I’ve seen.” Since that event we’ve seen protests and demonstrations across the country. Mr. Floyd’s death has put back at the center of our common experience the deep and historical pain of our Black brothers and sisters – the pain of seeing their human dignity stripped away. As the Catholic Bishop Barber Church, we can’t just be observers. We need to listen and learn from the experi- ence of the African American community – be willing to open our hearts – and maybe even feel uncomfortable.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will finda good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The People V. Clarence Darrow
    In a mostly forgotten piece of Americana, 95 years ago in Los Angeles, arguably one of this country’s greatest lawyers was tried on a charge of bribery—bribery of jurors in a murder case. If his defense and history are any indi- cators, it was that lawyer’s controversial legal career—as much as jury tampering— that were being judged in that California courtroom in 1912.1 By the time Clarence Darrow headed west to represent defendants in a notorious murder case, he was already famous for representing those whom others would not represent. History would remember Darrow as the man who defended the right of John Thomas Scopes to teach Darwin’s theory of evolution—dramatized in the play and eventual movie Inherit the Wind; for his plea for clemency for Richard Loeb, who, with Nathan Leopold, tried to commit the perfect crime by murdering a classmate— made into the novel and film Compulsion; and as the “greatest champion of labor and the poor, the ‘attorney for the damned.’”2 It is no hyperbole to say that Darrow was the most famous lawyer of his time. Most lawyers in the early 1900s were not courtroom artists, but he was. Starting as a railroad lawyer, he later went on to defend unpopular people and causes. Darrow rep- resented the coal miners during their 1902 The People v. Clarence Darrow BY HON. ROBERT L. GOTTSFIELD strike. He was against the death penalty, Hon. Robert L.

  • Servant of God Isaac Hecker: 19Th Century Pastor, 21St Century Saint
    SERVANT OF GOD ISAAC HECKER: 19TH CENTURY PASTOR, 21ST CENTURY SAINT O God, you called Isaac Hecker to preach the Gospel to the people of North America and to know the peace and the power of your indwelling Holy Spirit. Like Saint Paul the Apostle, he spoke your Word with a zeal for souls and a burning love for all who came to him in need. Hear our prayer and, through the intercession of Father Hecker, grant [state the request]. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen. 2 FR. ISAAC HECKER: 19TH CENTURY PASTOR, 21ST CENTURY SAINT On May 23, 2006, the Paulist Fathers General Assembly, “conscious of the need for contemporary models of holiness,” resolved to promote the canonization cause of Paulist Founder, Father Isaac Hecker, declaring his life and teaching “truly a valuable resource that needs to be widely recognized and communicated,” that he “can inspire others beyond ourselves towards holiness of life, heroic virtue and personal faithfulness to Christ,” and that “the time has come” for Father Hecker’s story “to be disseminated throughout the larger church.” This is the will of God, said Saint Paul to the Thessalonians, your holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3). According to the Second Vatican Council, “all in the Church … are called to holiness” and “to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of love”.1 In the Apostles Creed, we profess our faith in what we call “the Communion of Saints.” This Communion of Saints unites us, who are still on earth, with those saints whose salvation and ultimate sanctity are already assured.
