Fast Work Preserves Judicial Independence

BC LAW COMMUNITY DRAFTS AMICUS BRIEF PROTECTING JUDGE’S THOUGHT PROCESS

hen, in the spring of 2012, a case came W before the Mas- sachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) that challenged the principle of judicial independence, an ad hoc network of BC Law alums sprang into action to defend what Richard P. Campbell ’74 calls “a cornerstone of democracy.” “We had to act fast,” says Campbell, founder and chair- man of Campbell Campbell Edwards and Conroy in Bos- ton. He was serving as president of the Massachusetts Bar Association (MBA) when the Judicial Conduct Commit- tee issued a subpoena for a district court judge’s “notes, notebooks, bench books, dia- ries, memoranda, recordation, or other written recollections of any of” about forty cases the judge had decided during a decade of his career. The rami- fications were “mind-boggling” says Campbell. “If the thought processes of a judge were subject to public disclosure, every judge would be wondering what their picture would look like on the front page of the [Boston] Herald as they tried to formulate every decision.” With the case slated to go before the SJC in a matter of months, the association’s House of Delegates had to decide whether the MBA should appear as amicus cur- iae. Campbell and Martin W. Healy, the MBA’s chief legal counsel, shepherded it through. “Mind you, these are lawyers— people who are paid to be con-

TRENDS, OPINION, AND TIMELY ISSUES The Myth of Certainty

POST-ELECTION, THERE’S STILL NO ‘INSURANCE’ OBAMACARE WILL WORK

ith the US Supreme Court’s June 2012 decision to uphold W the Affordable Care Act (ACA), President Obama’s reelection, and the Democrats’ retention of a Senate majority, the ACA seems here to stay—or maybe not. According to the Kaiser Family Foun- dation’s voter exit poll, 43 percent of voters view the law favorably, 39 percent unfavorably, and 33 percent would repeal it entirely. Reaching an informed consen- sus on the ACA is difficult, however, since both sides of this split display a woeful lack of accurate information regarding what the ACA seeks to accomplish and how it plans to do so. During the long road to the White House, presidential contenders filled the healthcare information gap with inaccurate charges and misguided fears.

The Obama administration initiated this confusion by failing to explain the ACA’s integrated strategies for expanding access to health insurance coverage, increasing quality and efficiency of healthcare, and reforming the overall health delivery system. During the long road to the White House, presidential contenders filled this information gap with inaccurate charges and misguided fears. Thus, despite President Obama’s reelection and his administration’s ongoing support for the ACA, the law’s future survival, full funding, and successful implementation are anything but certain. Examples of uncertainty abound, but

Continued Judicial Challenges: Despite surviving the Supreme Court’s decision in NFIB v. Sebelius last June, the ACA faces continuing challenges concerning required contraceptive coverage, the employer “play or pay” mandate, health insurance exchanges, and the Medicaid expansion as envisioned by the Supreme Court. Scholars and pundits alike predict the ACA will withstand these attacks, but the NFIB experience shows that defending the act is not easy and success is not assured. Moreover, the ACA is a comprehensive and complex statute, with more than a few gaps and inconsistencies. Regu- lations put on hold pending the election are now being released, and many will be controversial. Additional challenges to the law’s intent and effect are inevitable, with a significant but uncertain impact on ACA DAVID HOLLENBACH implementation. 2.

That is so to the How does the Clough Center’s focus on PERJU: I tell my students that studying extent that now even mainstream courses constitutional democracy give BC Law an opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary conversations concerning self-government in the US and throughout the world? PERJU: The study of constitutional democracy can only be interdisciplinary. It has to include the study of law just as it has to include the study of economics, of history, of philosophy, of sociology, of theology, and of everything else. In that sense, the Clough Center’s impact on the life of the Law School is manifold. It brings some interdisciplinarity to the Law School and allows it to draw on its strength and contribute to the larger conversation within the University. ROUGEAU: The Clough Center also feeds nicely into the Law School’s mission. It reminds us at the Law School and Univer- sity about the broad, human sweep of law. You can’t really understand law or constitutional democracy without understanding a lot of different areas of intellectual life and how they impact the human person and self-government in a democracy. PERJU: Law is special. Law is the medi- um for the transmission of normative messages in society. There is a way in which all the other insights from history, from philosophy, fit into law and legal reasoning. We know that is the case and we know the richness of legal thought to be there,

16 BC LAW MAGAZINE | FALL / WINTER 2012 why he should be permitted to remain in the US. Rather than be bound by an ironclad rule—aggravated felony equals deportation—the IJ should have determined Garcia’s fate based on fairness and circumstance. But that is not what happened, and now PDHRP had to act fast. The first step was to file a motion to reopen Garcia’s case before the IJ, and to show good-faith compliance with the strict filing deadlines. If his motion was granted, PDHRP also had to be prepared to apply for discretionary relief. Pull- ing together his case proved challenging: Garcia had lost his records during his detention and deportation ordeals. It took time to get all his paperwork from the immigration court (they finally arrived shortly before PDHRP filed the motion to reopen). But most challenging, perhaps, was gathering the personal information needed for his application for discretionary relief. For that, PDHRP needed to persuade Garcia’s mother that they were real lawyers who could make a real case for her son. “At first, his family was hesitant,” Chicco says. “They had been previously told that there was nothing that could be done. But slowly I think we gained their trust.” Within two-and-a-half months of getting the case, PDHRP filed Garcia’s motion to reopen and an application for discretionary relief with the immigration court. A few weeks later: motion denied. The IJ said he lacked jurisdiction to review Garcia’s case because Garcia was outside the US. Translation: Though Garcia had been deported in error, he had no recourse Immigrants are not the only because…he had been deported. On appeal, the BIA agreed. As nonsensical as it sounds, the IJ’s decision was based on ones affected by America’s a regulation of the Executive Office for Immigration Review, a division of the US Department of Justice (DOJ).

For the most part, attorney communications are neither life-and-death nor of national import. But lawyers do have an ethical obligation to protect the confidentiality of client information, which encompasses not just communications but other types of data relating to the client and his or The Petraeus matter reminds her interests. See, for example, ABA Model Rule 1.6. As a recently added comment to the Model Rule states, “A law- us that, except in rare yer must act competently to safeguard information relating to the representation of a client against inadvertent or unau- circumstances, non-employees thorized disclosure by the lawyer or other persons who are participating in the representation of the client or who are should not have access subject to the lawyer’s supervision.” Neither Petraeus nor his biographer and mistress Paula to a ﬁrm’s email system or to Broadwell—whose affair, exposed last fall, cost Petraeus his job—are attorneys, but their conduct does help illustrate speciﬁc professional accounts. some of the issues and concerns that lawyers should consider in their own practices. Based on the information currently available, for instance, Petraeus and Broadwell conducted their affair by sharing a Gmail account and writing draft emails to each other, which they did not “send,” but left in the Draft folder for each other to read. The theory behind this is that it reduces the electronic trail, since the messages remain in a single shared account. (Ironically, Petraeus may have gotten the idea from his work at the CIA, since this is a technique apparently popular with terrorists. It is far safer, after all, to share log-in information to a common web mail account than it is to send the messages themselves.) The unraveling of Petraeus’s career began when Broadwell sent messages from the shared account to another woman, Jill Kelly, whom Broadwell apparently felt was getting too chummy with the general. She turned those messages over to the FBI and they were traced back to the account Petraeus had set up. The FBI’s initial concern was that the general’s account had been hacked, which raised the specter of a possible national security breach. Further investigation revealed instead that the account was pur- posefully shared by the two of them. The first lesson from the Petraeus affair, then, is to limit access to client data to authorized individuals. It is common practice in the legal profession for sec- retaries and other staff to have access to attorney email accounts, to assist in scheduling and the handling of routine correspondence. The Petraeus matter reminds us, however, that attorneys should keep their personal and professional lives separate and that, except in rare circumstances, non-

22 BC LAW MAGAZINE | FALL / WINTER 2012 employees should not have access to a firm’s email system or to specific professional accounts. Even within a firm, access should be granted on a strict need-to-know basis. The security of a firm’s email system not only depends on well-thought-out and well-enforced access rules, but also good cybersecurity and limited physical access. Just as a firm would be negligent to leave client paper files in a building’s common space or in an unlocked storage area in the base- ment, it is a violation of due care to allow unsupervised access to the firm’s computers. Visitors to a firm, for instance, should not be allowed to wander unescorted through the office, and any computer that is left unattended for more than a minute or two should be password-protected. And of course, simply having a password is meaningless if it is written on a post-it attached to the screen, or on a piece of paper under the keyboard. There are numerous guides online to creating secure but easily remembered passwords, so there is no need to make unauthorized access easy for intruders. Underlying the method of communication chosen by Petraeus and Broadwell was a not-unjustified concern about the security of email. In their case, it was more likely that they were worried about possible discovery by their spouses, recognizing the simple truth that the more copies there are of a particular message, the more likely it is that someone will discover it. But what about the inherent security of email in general, and web mail in particular? Can attorneys ethically use a service like Gmail? At least one state has considered this and concluded that the answer is yes. The Committee on Professional Ethics of the New York State Bar Association ruled in 2008 that it is not a breach of Lawyers should be aware confidentiality for lawyers to use Gmail, notwithstanding the fact that Google’s computers routinely scan user emails that the very design of the to serve up potentially relevant advertisements.

48 BC LAW MAGAZINE | FALL / WINTER 2012 2011–2012 Report on Giving

WWW.BC.EDU/LAWALUMNI 49 Hallmarks of Generosity

ON MAY 31, 2012, we officially closed the books on FY 2012 development efforts, concluding a successful fundraising year at Boston College Law School. Thanks to the generosity of 2,104 alumni and friends, we raised $4,033,315 in cash donations and received $3,083,152 in new commitments, including a $1 million grant from the William E. Simon Foundation to name the William E. and Carol G. Simon Oral Advocacy Program.

Our donors support the work of the Law School in multiple ways. Gifts—of all sizes—make it possible for BC Law to award scholarships to deserving and bright students, invest in faculty research, provide loan repayment assistance for alumni practicing in public interest, and expand upon our ambitious experiential learning endeavors, among other priorities.

Our alumni and friends answered our call to make an annual gift to the Law School Fund, providing critical resources for the Law School’s most pressing needs. Our Dean’s Council members affirmed their passion for BC Law by making a leadership gift of $1,500 or more. And our newest alumni demonstrated their commitment by making a donation to the 3L Class Gift or competing in the Recent Graduate Class Challenge.

Behind these numbers and figures are countless stories of generosity—and the lives at BC Law they ultimately touch. On behalf of the students, faculty, and the entire BC Law community, we thank you for your commitment and dedication to Boston College Law School.

THE REPORT ON GIVING recognizes all donors who made a gift to Boston College Law School during the fiscal year spanning June 1, 2011 to May 31, 2012. Any gift recorded before June 1, 2011 was part of last year’s totals and report; any gift recorded after May 31, 2012 will be recognized in next year’s report. Considerable care has gone into the preparation of the Report on Giving. Each donor is very important to us and every effort has been made to ensure that no name has been missed or appears incorrectly. If we have omitted, misspelled, or incorrectly recorded a name, we sincerely apologize. Please bring any errors to our attention. You may contact the Law School advancement office at 617-552-6263. We appreciate the support of BC Law spouses and partners; however, we have only included alumni and friends who have made a direct gift during the 2012 fiscal year.

A New Chapter for Global Literacy

Business lawyers crack the book on innovations in the public interest

by Professor David Olson

’d like to briefly discuss two things: public service and global literacy. You may think that I’m going to make a pitch for doing non-profit or government work, or for charitable giving. Those are honorable things, but we celebrate them frequently at Boston College, so the focus here is on something else. II would like to discuss literacy and public service through a different, and broader, lens. Literacy is one of the most important ways to help move people out of poverty. Accordingly, for years charities have collected used books and distributed them to poor communities to aid literacy efforts. Recently, a great leap forward was made that revo- lutionizes book distribution: the electronic book reader, or e-reader, for short. The pioneer of e-readers was Amazon’s Kindle, which was the first to accomplish a design and functionality that make reading books on it easy and enjoyable. Now busy people can load their books onto e-readers and read on planes, trains, or at the beach. But e-readers are much more than a convenience. They have made it possible for poor villages to have their own libraries on a scale never before imagined. A typical e-reader can hold more than a thousand books in multiple languages and can go almost a month on a single charge. There are thousands of books out of copyright that can be downloaded for free. So now, for the price of delivering just a few dozen titles, charities and governments can distribute e-readers that can allow people in rural villages lacking electricity and sanitation to build virtual libraries almost overnight. This is undeniably a public This article was adapted from service. But from where did this ISTOCKPHOTO/GREBCHA Professor Olson’s remarks public service come?

64 BC LAW MAGAZINE | FALL / WINTER 2012 AW SCHOOL was my mid-life crisis—instead of buying a L Porsche, I got a law degree at age 46. I focused on estate and “tax law, but I was amazed at how much I enjoyed my other courses. My experience was everything I anticipated, but it turned out to be so much more than that. I made a legacy gift because I want to ensure that decades from now, other people will have an opportunity to experience that. As an estate attorney, I know that even if the amount is not large, the important thing is to pass on what we have shared. —Stuart J. Hamilton” ’97, Hamilton Law Office PC
