Student Spotlight: Real clients, Real impact

THE UNIVERSITY OF MAINE SCHOOL OF LAW / FALL 2013 OPENING ARGUMENTS Annmarie Levins Associate General Counsel at Microsoft Corp.

You are a 1983 graduate of the University of Maine School of Law. What impact did Maine Law have in your life and career? Maine Law prepared me well to practice law in very different roles, from clerking to being a prosecutor to being an in-house lawyer. The faculty taught us to be rigorous and practical, and to keep our eyes on the big picture.

How did you find your way to becoming Associate General Counsel at Microsoft? After teaching at the University of Washington for a few semesters, I really missed the excitement of practicing law. I had been a federal prosecutor in New York, and decided to go back to that work in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle. From there, Microsoft recruited me to help set up an international anti-counterfeiting enforcement program. The criminal organizations involved in counterfeiting weren’t all that different from the drug trafficking organizations I prosecuted in New York.

What do you enjoy most about your job? I have good friends and colleagues all over the world, and they are some of the smartest people I’ve met anywhere. The issues we deal with change constantly, and we need to know as much about business, technology, and the competitive landscape as we do about legal issues. There is never a dull moment.

What do you know now that you wish you knew back as a law student? The hardest issues you deal with in your career are probably not going to involve legal questions, but will involve understanding what clients or opponents really want, what their bottom line motivations really are, how to come to a resolution that is fair and satisfactory enough for all sides. Asking Annmarie Levins (Maine Law ’83) is Associate questions to understand the human dynamics is often the key to General Counsel at Microsoft Corporation, where resolving what comes to you as a legal problem. she manages the legal support for Microsoft’s What advice do you have for prospective law students U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries.

8 MAINE LAW MAGAZINE FALL 2013 MAINE LAW NEWS Nina Kohn: A career focused on elder law

ina Kohn, visiting professor at Maine Law this year, stud- ied at some of the world’s finest institutions of learning. NShe graduated from Princeton University, where she ma- jored in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and Interna- tional Affairs, and went on to Harvard Law School. After clerking on the Second Circuit, Kohn continued her education by driving deep into the countryside of upstate New York, visiting frail, elderly people at their houses or in nursing homes. They would tell her about their struggles to obtain ben- efits, the heartache of emotional and physical abuse, the rela- tives who drained their bank accounts. “You needed to be able to listen, and to have a large box of Kleenex,” Kohn said of her service as a Skadden Fellow, representing clients for Legal Assistance of the Finger Lakes. The fellowship reinforced Kohn’s desire to focus her career on legal issues surrounding old age. “I was interested in practicing, but it wasn’t my longterm goal,” she said. “I have always been passionate about teach- ing.” She accepted a faculty position at Syracuse University Col- lege of Law, and was granted tenure in 2010. During her time at Syracuse, Kohn has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top experts in elder law. Her research is focused primarily on civil rights issues facing older adults. “Most elder law scholarship focuses on advanced planning and benefits issues. I’m trying to broaden that out, asking ques- tions about why and how we use chronological age in our laws, as a threshold or qualifying factor,” Kohn said. “I also am very interested in issues of decision-making by people with dimin- ished cognitive capacity.” Kohn grew up in Hinesburg, a small town in Vermont, where her father was a lawyer and her mother was a visual artist. She developed an interest in issues of old age, as well as children’s issues, while a student at Princeton. While at Harvard, Kohn’s interest in elder rights deepened when she had an internship at the U.S. Department of Justice, Nina Kohn, a visiting professor at Maine Law, says Civil Rights Division, Special Litigation Section. That summer, she is “asking questions about why and how we in addition to working on nursing home enforcement issues, use chronological age in our laws, as a threshold or she attended the Department’s ground-breaking conference on qualifying factor.” elder abuse. “I was fascinated by the issues, and realized there was such She has published extensively, writing on such varied topics an intense need to have people working on them,” Kohn said. as the criminalization of elder abuse, the constitutional status of “These issues are fundamentally important to people’s every- age discrimination, voting rights of persons with dementia, and day lives.

ust how smart is Josh McCoy? Consider this for a career path: Josh earned his master’s Jdegree in chemistry, went back to school for his law degree, and by fusing those skills together, the 34-year-old landed a job as a patent lawyer at one of the top intellectual property firms in the U.S. He grew up in Wooster, Ohio, a small city about an hour south of Cleveland. As a kid, Josh was always interested in science. He carried that interest all the way through graduate school, and into employment as a medicinal chemist, first at Merck Pharmaceutical, and then at the National Institute of Health Chemical Genomics Center. He worked in the laboratory setting for four years, before deciding to apply to law school. “I wanted to go a different direction, away from lab work, with my career,” Josh said. “My wife and I have a few lawyers in our family, and I thought patent law may be a good plan.” Maine Law was the right fit for Josh, largely because it is one of only a handful of law schools that have a patent clinic certified by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He and his wife loved the beauty and recreational opportunities in Maine, and the cooperative community at Maine Law, he said. Before graduation, Josh was hired by Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox in Washington, D.C., a firm with global powerhouse clients including Apple, Hasbro and Reebok. Josh will be a patent attorney, working for the firm’s Biotech Group.
