Message from the Dean. In today’s hyperpolarized political environment, a single instance of bipartisan agreement deserves acknowledgment. The passage of the FIRST STEP Act in December 2018 was just such a moment. With support from organizations as politically diverse as the American Conservative Union and the Center for American Progress, legislators reached across the aisle to enact, according to the New York Times, “the most substantial changes in a generation to the tough-on-crime prison and sentencing laws that . . . created a criminal justice system many conservatives and liberals view as costly and unfair.” Indeed, the FIRST STEP Act introduces important changes to federal law that will improve prison conditions and lower certain mandatory minimum sentences; the act also could provide offenders with p oper tools and training to reenter society successfully upon release. However, absent any other meaningful reforms over the past two decades, this legislation is—as its name suggests—only a fir t step. With incarceration

THE FIRST STEP ACT IS A MOVE TOWARD CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, BUT BU LAW FACULTY SAY TRUE CHANGE NEEDS TO GO MUCH FURTHER.
A HOMELESS MAN IS DETAINED FOR TRESPASSING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND IS FOUND TO POSSESS A SMALL AMOUNT OF HEROIN. At arraignment, his history
of prior arrests and petty offenses leads the court to impose bail, which he can’t afford, so he remains in jail while his case is processed. The court-appointed defender is overwhelmed with other cases and encourages him to plead guilty
to minimize his time behind bars. In jail, he doesn’t receive treatment for his drug addiction, nor other meaningful services to help him rebuild the life to which he will soon return. Upon release, his criminal record prevents him from getting a job or benefitting from public housing. Without other options, he returns to the streets, where the cycle begins again.

The average person doesn’t want to hear about the problems with the criminal justice system, says Professor TRACEY MACLIN, who focuses on civil rights, constitutional law, and criminal law and procedure and has served as counsel of record for the ACLU, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the Cato Institute in a number of US Supreme Court cases addressing Fourth Amendment issues. “They may distantly know someone who is involved, but they can’t imagine being caught up in it.” Yet, taxpayers are paying $80 billion a year for public correctional facilities, so its problems impact everyone. With more than two million people in jails and prisons across the country, the US has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.

criminal justice system for essentially racebased control of populations, we are piling a lot of injustice on top of injustice.” Clinical Professor WENDY KAPLAN, who supervises law students in the Criminal Law Clinical Program as they represent juvenile and adult defendants in criminal and delinquency trials, agrees. “It’s important to ask why there are so many people being held. Is the purpose of punishment deterring others? Rehabilitation? Reform? We have many divergent goals for incarceration and none of them seem to be working.” “There are many people in the criminal system with a history of mental illness who are competent but homeless, unemployable, and have difficulty vigating where they will fin
IS THE PURPOSE OF PUNISHMENT DETERRING OTHERS? REHABILITATION? REFORM? WE HAVE MANY DIVERGENT GOALS FOR INCARCERATION AND NONE OF THEM SEEM TO BE WORKING.”
According to the ACLU, the country’s incarcerated population has increased by 700 percent since 1970, with African Americans held at a rate more than five times that of whites. When people are released, strict probation terms, ineligibility for public housing, lack of job training, and other legal restrictions make it difficu to find ork or a place to live, which increases the risk of recidivism. “We have the world’s largest prison population, but we have very little reason to think we are getting any particular public safety out of most of that incarceration,” says Professor GERALD LEONARD, a leading historian of American constitutionalism who teaches criminal justice and criminal procedure courses. “We’re inflicting a t emendous amount of suffering on people as ell as their families and communities at a large monetary cost. And with the country’s long history of using the
food and shelter,” she adds. “Yet there aren’t enough diversion programs on the front end of the system to keep them out of jail.” The country’s long history of racism, the war on drugs, and harsh mandatory sentences have all contributed to the dysfunction of today’s criminal justice system. Most experts agree that we need reform, although what that reform should look like is still being debated, even as Congress passes incremental measures. More and more lawmakers recognize the failings of the system and the need for change. With bipartisan support, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP signed the FIRST STEP ACT into law on December 21, 2018, to codify long-soughtfor reforms to the system. Overall, it seeks to expand rehabilitative programming, increase earned-time credit opportunities for early release, and reduce mandatory minimum sentences.

“This is a fir t step in the right direction. Politicians realize that the money put into the system isn’t paying dividends. People aren’t coming out rehabilitated or reformed, and they go back to crime. And many people are held for nonviolent drug crimes and don’t need to be there at all,” says Maclin, noting that the law affects on y people in federal prisons while the vast majority of the incarcerated population is held in local and state jails. As for state-level reform, Leonard says there are efforts a ound the country to make the system “more humane and effect ve”; however, they are limited. “People are starting to pay more attention, but it will be a long time before there is real momentum to change what the criminal justice system looks like on the local, state, and federal levels.” CRITICAL NEEDS There are many critical changes necessary for real reform, starting with alternatives to incarceration. “Not everyone needs prison. Sometimes prison is just a school for further criminalization because it doesn’t provide education or positive programming. Inmates don’t

“Who will identify the appropriate inmates for earned-time credit opportunities?” And with the law excluding so much of the incarcerated population, including undocumented immigrants and sex offender , Kaplan doubts that the FIRST STEP Act will result in many people being released from federal prison. “It’s better than nothing, but the law could go so much further.” “I don’t think there is one key thing that will turn the tide on criminal justice reform,” Leonard adds. “What we need is a cultural shift where we recognize that offenders a e part of our community and are often people who have had something go very wrong in their lives. If we could reorient the whole system to treat offenders with espect for their humanity, a lot else will follow with reform.”

“The longer you are detained, the more likely you are to plead to something just to get out of jail sooner. Ninety-five percent of convictions are due to a guilty plea. We need other ways to ensure that people show up for court dates without requiring cash bail,” he says, noting that Washington, D.C., uses pretrial services to ensure defendants show up for court and receive the services they need to stay out of trouble. “In this respect, Washington, D.C., has been a beacon for criminal justice reform for a long time.” Kaplan, who teaches a seminar on juvenile delinquency, notes that Boston’s juvenile system also exhibits positive reform. “The focus there is on preventing arraignment, so youths don’t get a criminal record. Using diversion programs, the juvenile system is working with a network of community organizations to provide job training and education.”
WE NEED TO LIMIT THE WAY WE USE PRISON AS A TOOL AND INSTEAD FIGHT THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS OFTEN RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. WE SHOULD TREAT THE ILLNESS INSTEAD OF TAKING THE PERSON OUT OF SOCIETY. PRISON SHOULD BE A LAST RESORT.” “ISOLATED AND LOCALIZED” BEACONS OF PROGRESS While the federal law is making a “fir t step” toward reform, some states and localities have made bigger leaps in recent years. “There are places around the country with effect ve reform programs, but they are isolated and localized,” says Leonard. “Maine has reduced the use of solitary confinemen and Washington, D.C., long ago virtually eliminated cash bail.” The cash bail requirement, Leonard explains, has led to large-scale detention of defendants, which disrupts family relationships and makes employment difficult. urther, data shows that defendants who do not post cash bail are more likely to be convicted and receive a more severe sentence.

organization empowers youth who are in the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or out of school to take charge of their lives by managing online, retail, pop-up, and wholesale bookselling businesses. “By training and employing kids to work in a business, they learn what it means to be responsible, to get to a job on time, to do a good job, and to get paid. Without this type of foundation, they may end up in prison by the time they are 18, so it’s very important to focus on juveniles,” she says. “That is how the front end of the criminal system can really reform—give people opportunities to stay out of prison.”

A few weeks before JARED KEENAN (’08) was scheduled to start his new job as a staff a torney at the ACLU in Arizona, his boss asked him if he would join a call for the organization’s nationwide Campaign for Smart Justice, a multiyear effort to educe the prison population in the United States and combat racial disparities in the criminal justice system. She mentioned that someone named Somil from the ACLU’s national office ould be participating. “SOMIL TRIVEDI?” Keenan asked. Sure enough, his former Boston University School of Law classmate, a 2009 graduate and a senior staff attorney at the ACLU’s Criminal Law Reform Project in Washington, D.C., was on the line. Both Trivedi and Keenan, who ran in the same circle of friends at BU Law, had been hired to work on the Campaign for Smart Justice but neither knew about the other’s position. And before too long, they had reacquainted with a third classmate and friend working on criminal justice issues at the ACLU: JOSHUA TOM (’08), legal director of the organization’s Mississippi affiliat Keenan, Trivedi, and Tom each joined the ACLU in 2016 or 2017 after establishing their careers in
diffe ent ways: Trivedi worked as a senior associate at WilmerHale in New York and as a trial attorney at the US Department of Justice; Keenan served as a public defender in Massachusetts and Arizona; and Tom spent several years as an associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. They joined the nonprofit at a critical moment i US history. Decades of reliance on punitive criminal justice measures have caused the country’s jail and prison population to soar. The United States is home to less than 5 percent of the world’s population but nearly 25 percent of all people who are incarcerated globally. But there is a growing, bipartisan consensus that reforms are necessary, as evidenced by the FIRST STEP Act, passed in December 2018 by a Congress otherwise divided mostly along partisan lines. “I am on the whole optimistic about our chances for getting real, lasting reform because criminal justice reform has been embraced across the ideological spectrum,” Trivedi says. “Conservatives, libertarians, liberals, progressives—sometimes for our own reasons, sometimes for the same reasons—agree the state exerts far too much destructive control over people’s lives via the criminal justice system.” Keenan concurs. “It is actually kind of a hopeful time,” he says. “Newer politicians in both parties are waking up to the financial co ts—but often, more importantly, also to the human costs”—of bad policies. That alignment has made for some “strange bedfellows,” Trivedi notes. As part of his work nationally, Trivedi has led the ACLU in joining amicus briefs with organizations ranging from the libertarian Cato Institute to the Christian conservative Alliance Defending Freedom, the Second Amendment Foundation, and the Koch brothers–funded Americans for Prosperity. In 2018, those groups and others joined forces in an amicus brief asking the US Supreme Court to revisit its rulings on “qualified immunit ,” a precedent that protects police, prosecutors, and other government officials om liability under Title 42, Section 1983, of THE RECORD | Fall 2019

the US Code even when they have violated someone’s constitutional rights. The brief came in the case of Almighty Supreme Born Allah v. Milling, in which an inmate claimed prison officials denied him his d process rights by holding him in pretrial solitary confinement based on a que tionable demerit from a previous incarceration. Although a federal trial court ruled in the inmate’s favor, the decision was overturned by the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals, which cited the doctrine of qualified immunit . The doctrine “enables public officials who viola federal law to sidestep their legal obligations to the victims of their misconduct,” the parties wrote in their brief. “In so doing, the doctrine undermines the public’s trust in those officials— w enforcement in particular—making on-the-ground policing more difficult and da erous for all office , including that vast majority who endeavor to uphold their constitutional obligations. Neither the text nor the history of Section 1983 compels this perverse outcome.” The goal of the Campaign for Smart Justice is to reform the criminal justice system from the inside out, including through sentencing and bail reform. In some cases, Trivedi points out, that means the ACLU is working with law enforcement agencies and government attorneys that the organization traditionally might have sued.
“The notion that we can end mass incarceration and tackle systemic racism from within the system has really caught fi e,” he says. In 2018, the Arizona State Legislature passed a bill to require two county attorneys’ offices to colle and publish data on their prosecutions, including demographics, charging information, guilty pleas, trials, and prison sentences. The 18-month pilot project began in January. The ACLU in Arizona had supported an earlier version of the bill, which died in committee. Prosecutors have “generally been very reluctant to share anything with anybody,” Keenan says. “We’re hopeful that if two rural counties can collect and make data publicly available, then every county in the state can do it.” In a February 2019 report called “Unlocking the Black Box,” the ACLU argues that prosecutorial transparency is an “essential step” to ending mass incarceration and racial inequities in the criminal justice system because it will enable people to hold prosecutors accountable and implement necessary reforms. Of course, just because some law enforcement agencies and prosecutors are partnering with rights groups like the ACLU that doesn’t mean lawsuits are off the table

In May, Trivedi and Keenan teamed up on an ACLU lawsuit that claims the elected county attorney in Maricopa County, Arizona, violated open records law by failing to respond in a timely manner to a request for information about that offic s operations. And, in Mississippi, Tom’s ACLU affiliate h sued the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, which the ACLU claims unconstitutionally targets black people and communities for law enforcement activities, including stops, searches, and arrests. The ACLU cites data showing that African Americans make up only 38 percent of Madison County’s population but accounted for 77 percent of all arrests made by the department between 2012 and 2017. “This is a county that has had a long history of racially discriminatory policing that goes back to at least the Civil Rights Movement,” Tom says. “If we can get a favorable result there, I’ll be very proud of the work we’ve done.” The three BU Law graduates were each drawn to their work in part through their unique personal experiences. Trivedi grew up in the Midwest and South and saw fir thand some of the racial and socioeconomic inequities that drove the Civil Rights Movement and still fuel mass incarceration. Keenan was arrested a few times as a teenager and felt he was unfairly targeted because he hung out with a group of kids that identified as “punk ock.” And Tom’s parents—Chinese Americans born in Arkansas and Mississippi—went to segregated schools as children (they each went to schools for white children that did not allow African Americans, although other districts had separate schools for whites, African Americans, and Asian Americans). But the three attorneys also share a common formative experience: exposure to social justice issues and constitutional law concepts at BU. Both Trivedi and Tom say Professor TRACEY MACLIN’s constitutional law course played a major role in influencing their ca eer paths. “Walking into his class on day one changed my entire life and perspective on the law,” Trivedi said in a recent Proud to BU alumni podcast. “He was quite the force of nature,” Tom agrees. Keenan says his experience working in the public defender’s office and a gal aid nonprofit organizatio in New Orleans as a student—during a spring break and his 2L summer—impacted his career path. So did his then-girlfriend, now-wife GRACE GUISEWITE (’09), who knew she wanted to be a public defender
and helped convince Keenan that he did, too. Before that, he says, “I actually wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do other than the general idea of public interest law.” Guisewite, who works as a public defender appeals attorney in Maricopa County, and Trivedi were friends and classmates. And Trivedi’s now-wife, SHANTA TRIVEDI (’08), a clinical teaching fellow at the University of Baltimore School of Law, was one of Tom’s close friends and has also, with her students, worked with the ACLU of Arizona on an amicus brief in support of a Mexican father seeking the return of his son from foster care in Arizona. “Not only have we now been reunited under the same umbrella, but we all work on criminal justice issues together,” Trivedi said in the podcast of himself, Keenan, and Tom. “It really underscores how BU Law creates public-minded lawyers.” Despite the emerging unity on opportunities for criminal justice reform, the three agree the challenges are still great. “The reform movement is unevenly distributed,” Trivedi says. “The Campaign for Smart Justice is active in all 50 states, working at the state and local levels to change policy and to bring lawsuits and to win elections, because we’re not there. This work is long-haul.”
“
THIS IS A COUNTY THAT HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY POLICING THAT GOES BACK TO AT LEAST THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. IF WE CAN GET A FAVORABLE RESULT THERE, I’LL BE VERY PROUD OF THE WORK WE’VE DONE.”

“
OUR GOAL IS TO BRING LIGHT TO THE INSIDE AND TO BRING THE DARKNESS ON THE INSIDE TO LIGHT.” —CLAIRE SHUBIK-RICHARDS
In 1787,
While most US states have experienced similar growth in prison populations, the Pennsylvania Prison Society is one of just three independenta group of influential Philadelphians—including Benjamin citizen organizations dedicated to monitoring state prison conditions. (THE CORRECTIONAL ASSOCIARush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and TION OF NEW YORK and the JOHN HOWARD ASSOfounding father Benjamin Franklin—became disgusted CIATION OF ILLINOIS are the other two.) with the squalor of the local jails and the public shaming The organization, says Shubik-Richards, has three main spheres of impact.

In the preamble to sylvania law allows the society’s volunteers, known as the society’s constitution, these citizens wrote of their obli“official visito ,” to privately meet with any inmate in the state—even those on death row or in solitary congation to extend benevolence to all people, despite their finement—for a y reason. Each month, the society follies and crimes, and of the need for modes and degrees receives around 250 requests from inmates or their of punishment that could restore their fellows to virtue and loved ones to intercede in specific situation . While some of these requests are to investigate instances of happiness. prisoner abuse, most are related to accessing medical care or opening channels of communication. For “Fast-forward to 2019, and we’re still at it,” says example, official visitors ve helped an inmate’s CLAIRE SHUBIK-RICHARDS (’01), executive wife understand why her husband was abruptly director of the PENNSYLVANIA PRISON SOCIETY, transferred to a diffe ent prison and have relayed a the nation’s oldest human rights organization.

inform policymakers and the public at large about prison conditions in the state. “Our goal is to bring light to the inside,” says Shubik-Richards, “and to bring the darkness on the inside to light.” When she was hired as executive director in January 2017, her charge was to create a plan for reaching this goal in the era of mass incarceration. Her fir t step was to fix the organization s finance . “When I joined, the society was struggling fina cially,” she says. “Now we’re solvent, but we’re still thinly staffed ” The society had just two full-time employees and a handful of part-time employees when ShubikRichards came onboard. She immediately began fundraising to hire more staff, and she s proud that the society now has a full-time prison monitoring director who focuses on hiring and training volunteers. Today, most of the society’s roughly 300 offici visitors are retirees who learn of the volunteer positions through their churches, and Shubik-Richards wants to expand and diversify this volunteer base to better serve the nearly 80,000 people incarcerated in Pennsylvania jails and prisons. She’s also forging partnerships with other organizations that can contribute their resources to meeting the Prison Society’s goals. The society is now working with the Center for Human Rights Science at Carnegie Mellon University, for example, to compile data and issue reports on the treatment and health of Pennsylvania prisoners. The society also recently partnered with the Klein College of Media and Communications at Temple University to redesign Graterfriends, the society’s newsletter that allows prisoners to voice their opinions and concerns about criminal justice. “We were so incredibly fortunate to have persuaded Claire to join us,” says Thomas Innes, president of the Prison Society’s board of directors and an attorney with the DEFENDER ASSOCIATION OF PHILADELPHIA. “She has proved herself indefatigable and is working not only to put our society on a footing it has not had in many years but to go beyond what our hopes were even a short time ago.” In her job as executive director, Shubik-Richards draws on her wide experience in public policy, including her former positions with the Pew Charitable Trust, the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, the Vera Institute of Justice, and the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board. Her dedication to improving urban policy stems from her experiences growing up in New Haven, Connecticut, in the 1980s. “New Haven was the homicide capital of the country. The crack epidemic was very severe,” she says. “I grew up in the

I had friends in school with me whose parents were incarcerated.” Despite the “tough-oncrime” mentality of the time, New Haven’s criminal justice system seemed mostly ineffect ve, she says. “What I really saw was a criminal justice system that was often doing more harm Pennsylvania than good and wasn’t necPrison Society’s essarily creating safety.” As network of roughly a young teen, she decided 300 official vis tors makes nearly she wanted to become a 3,000 prison visits lawyer. “I had this notion,” each year. she says, “that lawyers advanced justice and promoted social change.” At BU Law, she studied under supportive professors, she says, who helped her hone her analysis and writing skills. After graduation, she took a clerkship in the US DISTRICT COURT for the District of Connecticut and then a job with a private law firm in Manha tan that specialized in civil rights litigation. While the firms work was admirable, Shubik-Richards quickly realized she was less interested in individual casework than in correcting societal wrongs on a systemic level. She left the firm in 2003 to acce t a position with the VERA INSTITUTE OF JUSTICE, a highly regarded nonprofi dedicated to criminal justice reform. “I worked at Vera for four years on various aspects of the juvenile justice system,” she says. “I worked with government agencies to undertake systemic changes—and I loved it.” She has focused her career on policymaking ever since. While the Pennsylvania Prison Society’s volunteers work to improve conditions for individual prisoners, Shubik-Richards notes that the increased criminalization of drugs, longer sentences, and increased use of pretrial detention and community supervision have put extraordinary strain on the prison system. To reduce that strain, the society promotes legislation, policies, and practices aimed at reducing prison populations. “The issues of prison conditions and overincarceration are interrelated,” she says. “The society uses its voice to push for systemic change.” Influenced by new theories in mental health and social work, the Pennsylvania Prison Society recruits 25 psychologists from the Department of Welfare to visit county prisons.

Danielle Citron, Named to the BU Law Faculty in July, Honored as a 2019 MacArthur Fellow. DANIELLE CITRON, whose pioneering and policy-shaping work in countering hate crimes, revenge porn, and other cyberspace abuses has made her one of the nation’s leading privacy and constitutional law scholars, has been named a 2019 MACARTHUR FELLOW. Citron and the other 25 new fellows, whose names were announced in September by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, will each receive a $625,000 no-strings-attached “genius” grant, spread over five years, in recognition of their exceptional creativity, significant achievements, and promise for future advances. For researchers, writers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and all recipients, it is one of the highest honors they can receive. Citron joined BU Law in July and is a member of the Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering Cyber Security, Law, and Society Alliance. She says she was stunned when John Palfrey, MacArthur Foundation president, called her in September with the news. “I screamed,” she says. “I fell on the floor. It’s crazy, right? Ta-Nehisi Coates and Bryan Stevenson are
MacArthur Fellows—I can’t believe I’m in the same group.” An advocate and scholar, Citron is vice president of the nonprofit Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, whose mission is to combat online abuses that threaten civil rights and civil liberties, and an unpaid advisor for both Facebook and Twitter. She is the author of the widely cited Hate Crimes in Cyberspace (Harvard University Press, 2016) and more than 30 law review articles on privacy, cyber harassment, and how to balance freedom of expression with civil rights and civil liberties on the internet. She says she will use at least some of her MacArthur grant to write her second book, on sexual privacy. “We are thrilled that Professor Citron has been named a MacArthur Fellow,” says Robert A. Brown, president of BU. Citron joins Nancy Kopell, a William Fairfield Warren Professor and a College of Arts & Sciences professor of mathematics, as BU’s only current MacArthur Fellows. “These awards recognize an individual’s potential to make transformative changes. We’re very proud that Professor Citron has been recognized as a member of this highly selective group.” THE RECORD | Fall 2019

BU Law is expanding its course offerings in risk management and compliance in response to the growing need for attorneys who can identify, analyze, and respond appropriately to legal risks that might adversely affect their organizations. A new Compliance Policy Clinic, available in spring 2020, will be among the first in the country in which law students can earn hands-on experience helping organizations navigate issues of business ethics, social responsibility, reputation management, and compliance. Clinic students, under the supervision of Director DANIELLE PELFREY DURYEA, will collaborate with public and private sector partners across a range of industries to focus on legal and regulatory issues concerning risk management, enforcement, and internal monitoring and auditing. In addition to the Compliance Policy Clinic, students may take advantage of a robust set of offerings designed to provide a foundation for practicing law in the multifaceted field of compliance. The concentration in Risk Management & Compliance, launched in 2017, enables JD students to learn the core legal concepts underlying compliance and their impact on business operations. Lecturer BABAK BOGHRATY (’89), an expert in global compliance, helped develop the program, and is also the author of Organizational Compliance and Ethics, one of the few casebooks dedicated to the subject. Students can opt to specialize in corporate compliance, cyberlaw and security, financial services regulations, or compliance issues in healthcare and biotechnology. For practicing attorneys seeking to advance their careers, the school offers a concentration through the Executive LLM in International Business Law, a certificate through the LLM in Banking & Financial Law Program, and a four-part online course through the edX platform, also developed with Boghraty.

Karen Pita Loor Leads Clinical & Experiential Programs.
COURSES LED BY LOOR INCLUDE: CRIMINAL TRIAL PRACTICE II/ DEFENDERS REGULATION OF THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE

Clinical Associate Professor KAREN PITA LOOR stepped into the position of associate dean for experiential education on July 1, after five years of exemplary service by Associate Dean PEGGY MAISEL, who resumed full-time teaching this fall. Maisel joined BU Law in July 2014. As leader of the school’s experiential programs, she helped create a strategy for raising the national profile of experiential education at BU Law. During her time as associate dean, the clinical program grew to include four new clinics—two in partnership with MIT—four practicums, and an expanded externship program, which now includes the Corporate Counsel Externship Program, the Small & Medium Law Firm Externship Program, and the opportunity for paid externships. Maisel chaired the faculty committee that created and added experiential components to the firstyear curriculum through the new Lawyering Program, helped develop the 1L Lawyering Lab, and worked closely with other faculty to create Landlord-Tenant Property Law Week. Since joining BU Law in 2011, Loor has taught in the Defender Clinic of the Criminal Law Clinical Program, where her students represent indigent clients charged with crimes in Boston Municipal Court. Her students have argued— under her training and supervision—before the
Massachusetts Appeals Court and filed amicus briefs before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. An expert on the intersection of immigration and criminal law, she developed and taught Regulation of the Immigrant Experience, a seminar where she investigated—through a legal lens—immigrant life across various areas of American society. She also organized two trips to Tijuana to assist migrants seeking asylum. Before teaching, she was a trial and appellate attorney at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, the premier public defender agency in the country. “Through our clinics, practicums, and externships, BU Law students learn, engage in valuable public interest and service work, and build productive working relationships with practicing attorneys,” Loor says. “These programs are part of our connection to and our impact on our own community, as BU Law students practice in local courts—and even the world—as they travel on international legal services projects. I am honored and thrilled to work with the rest of the experiential faculty as we continue to practice, innovate, and consider the ways in which our programs can positively impact our students and the legal profession as well as empower vulnerable client populations.”

BU Law’s 2019–20 William & Patricia Kleh Visiting Professor of Law is RASHIDA MANJOO, professor of law in the department of public law at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. As part of the Kleh professorship, she is teaching International Human Rights and International Protection of Women’s Human Rights. In September, she delivered the Kleh Lecture, in which she discussed the particular challenges of protecting women and girls from violence and discrimination within the framework of the UN human rights system. Manjoo has over four decades of experience in social justice and human rights work both in South Africa and abroad. Until July 2015, she held the position of United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against
women, its causes and consequences, a post she was appointed to in 2009 by the United Nations Human Rights Council. Her UN work over six years included monitoring and reporting on states’ compliance in responding to and preventing violence against women, both generally and in different country contexts. She particularly highlighted the interaction of interpersonal, communal, institutional, and structural factors that negatively impact the interdependence and indivisibility of the human rights of women, and the challenges of the normative gap in international law on the issue of violence against women. The former parliamentary commissioner of the Commission on Gender Equality, an institution created by the Constitution of South Africa with a mandate to oversee the promotion and protection of gender equality and women’s rights, Manjoo has authored several journal articles, book chapters, and reports, including the most recent coedited book, The Legal Protection of Women from Violence: Normative Gaps in International Law.

COMMENCEMENT 2019..
On May 19, the Boston University School of Law community held their 146th Commencement ceremony at the BU Track & Tennis Center. Robert Khuzami (’83), former deputy US attorney for the Southern District of New York, delivered the Commencement speech, urging graduates to be “guardians of truth” as they pursued their legal careers. Following Khuzami’s address, Alizae Fatima (LLM in American Law’19) and Alexandra Arnold (JD’19) delivered two exceptional speeches. Having received their degrees, the graduates joined their friends and families at a reception following the ceremony.
“Thinking like a lawyer can be fun. Cases become games, puzzles that we can solve. . . . But on the other side of those puzzles are people. . . . Every sterile appellate decision we’ve read over the past three years was the story of someone’s life that was changed by those proceedings. And as we begin practicing, we need to remember that. Here, we’ve gained tools to help people, and to harm them. It’s our responsibility to use them mindfully.”

“Graduates—all of us—bring your learning and your voice to the public square. It is needed now. Commencement means beginning. To mark this beginning, I ask you to commit here, today, to the principles of truth and justice underlying the American legal system and our democracy; to commit now to a career premised on honesty and integrity, on independent thought and fundamental rights.” —Robert Khuzami (’83)
“As I was writing this speech, I asked myself: Is there anything in common that we all share as a group, except our addiction to coffee? And the answer is yes. We all here are achievers, doers, and dreamers.” —Alizae Fatima (LLM’19)

LEADERSHIP
Letter from the Campaign Cochair. Dear BU Law Community, On September 21, the entire BU community celebrated the transformational impact of the CAMPAIGN FOR BOSTON UNIVERSITY and the achievement of its $1.5 billion fundraising goal. BU Law alumni played a critical role in that success by helping the School of Law surpass its own $100 million campaign goal. Over the course of our Building on Excellence Campaign, alumni and friends of BU Law contributed nearly $225 million in support of a fir t-class campus, innovative academic programming and experiential learning, meaningful student financial aid, and cu ting-edge faculty scholarship. Together, we have changed this institution for the better and positioned BU Law to continue its rise among the top law schools in the country. I have been privileged to serve as campaign chair and I am deeply grateful to our ever-growing community of donors for your support. I also want to congratulate DEAN ANGELA ONWUACHI-WILLIG on a very successful fir t year as dean of BU Law. The dean visited more than a dozen cities across the country in an effort to me t alumni in our various legal markets, learn about our experiences, and garner our insight. I know she will give the feedback she received the utmost consideration in the months and years ahead as she strategizes beyond this campaign and looks toward new opportunities to advance BU Law. It is fi ting, then, that this issue of The Record should recognize the school’s place in creating a just world. BU Law’s rigorous curriculum and leading scholarship foster graduates who enter the legal profession prepared to make a positive impact on society. We are all very proud of the faculty and alumni highlighted in these pages and the thousands of other BU Law alumni using their education to effect chan e where it is needed. I hope you feel as we do that it is a great time to call BU Law our alma mater. Regards,
