t is wonderful to be at Gonzaga Law School and the year is off to a great start. I have started meeting alumni in Spokane, Seattle, Montana and Anchorage, and many more trips are planned. I am enjoying becoming a part of this warm and welcoming community of people who care about Gonzaga and its mission. I am thankful for the hard work of those who came before me to help make Gonzaga what it is today and want to send a special thanks to former Dean Earl F. Martin and formerly acting Dean George Critchlow.

The Red Mass was well attended, well received and all enjoyed the reception that followed. One justice mentioned that it was wonderful to be honored without having to make a speech.

The start of the school year also saw the largest conference ever put on at Gonzaga Law School. Professor Jason Gillmer, the John J. Hemmingson Chair in Civil Liberties was the leader behind the

Classes began August 22 and we welcomed 176 new 1L students.

This entering class is 51 percent female. Despite declining applications nationwide, we were able to bring in this group of remarkable students at the expected class size. Our new students hail from 29 different states, the District of Columbia, and Canada and they represent more than 80 different colleges and universities. This interesting and varied group includes a member of the Utah Air National Guard who was the only female flight line worker on her base, one who is fluent in Korean and someone who taught English in Korea.

In their midst are a 2010 NCAA regional high jump qualifier, an environmental geologist, a football player who also has an MBA, a former teacher on an Indian reservation, a first degree certified black belt in karate, and a nurse who runs marathons (including qualifying for the Boston Marathon) who also has four children.

down, as are takers of the LSAT. Law students may face significant debt in a difficult job market. We face pressure over rankings in U.S. News & World Report.

But on the upside, these challenges have reinforced our beliefs in the value of a legal education. We know that a law degree will serve our students well, whether they use their education in conventional practices or in less traditional applications. In response to the changing world of practice, we have and will continue to focus attention on our strong skills curriculum – Gonzaga’s innovative program puts us ahead of the curve.

I am often asked about my vision for the Law School. And while I am grateful that I get to help shape the future of this fine institution, I cannot do it alone.

Together with faculty, alumni and others, we will endeavor to stay current, involved and progressive. We will build on our skills curriculum and add to it. We will strive to bring greater national attention to the Law School, and we will work to make sure students have access to legal education by providing more scholarship opportunities.

At the helm: Jane B. Korn

by Virginia deLeon

“Gonzaga captured my heart, the people here are committed to their students, to teaching and to scholarship.

I interviewed at different places, but Gonzaga and Spokane felt like home.”

S

ome attorneys were born into the profession, raised by families with long lineages of lawyers and encouraged to follow in their footsteps. Others knew from an early age that they would grow up to pass the bar and become part of a field dedicated to justice and upholding the law.

Jane B. Korn, on the other hand, didn’t have a clue about her future.

As a child growing up in a working-class suburb of New Jersey, Korn never imagined she would go to law school — let alone lead one as the dean.

Her grandparents didn’t go to college. Neither did her parents. She grew up at a time when women — if they worked outside the home — became teachers or nurses. Korn’s parents encouraged and expected her to earn a university degree, but she didn’t exactly have the background or opportunities that would have sparked an interest in law.

Korn was almost 30 years old by the time she discovered her calling.

Today, the woman who spent her early 20s earning a living as a secretary, as an office worker at a sewing company and as a tour guide at Colorado’s Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is now an accomplished attorney, an award-winning professor and the first woman to lead Gonzaga University School of Law in its 99-year history.

As she embarks on her first year at Gonzaga Law School, Korn offers a unique perspective – one that’s inevitably shaped by her gender, her history and her life experiences. She also brings a wealth of knowledge, a passion for learning and a fierce determination to spread the word about Gonzaga’s excellence.

“Gonzaga captured my heart,” she said. “People here are committed to their students, to teaching and to scholarship. I interviewed at different places, but Gonzaga and Spokane felt like home.”

FINDING HER WAY Even with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Rutgers University, Korn struggled to find work after graduating in 1972. Too many people didn’t want to hire women, she said, recalling how she spent hours combing through the classified ads and preparing for interviews only to be passed over for jobs, especially in management. Some employers were blunt: “We don’t hire women,” they told her to her face, even if she was as qualified as the male candidates.

In 1975, she sought employment with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission.

The agency hired her to investigate employment discrimination.

“I wanted that job so badly,” recalled Korn, whose cases at the commission often involved women and minorities.

“I wanted it because of my experience of trying to find a job as a woman and not being able to get one even after the Civil Rights Act had passed.”

During that time, she grew in her understanding of issues concerning gender, ethnicity and race, Korn said. She also earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues, particularly the attorneys.

“Have you ever thought of going to law school?” they often asked.

With encouragement from those lawyers, Korn finally considered it.

She didn’t have the option of leaving Colorado at that time so she applied only to two schools: The University of Colorado and the University of Denver.

At that time, tuition at the University of Denver was $5,000. At the University of Colorado Law School, it was $500.

Without giving it a second thought, she took the more affordable route. “I was putting myself through law school and I had enough money to finance only two years of school,” she recalled.

It was a worthwhile investment. For the first time in her life, Korn discovered her niche.

“Law school opened my world,” she said.

“It was a lot of pressure and stress, but I felt like my mind was being stretched

every day. I loved the critical thinking – taking one idea and looking at it from so many vantage points, almost like through a prism.”

It also changed her self-image. During the first year of law school, Korn never raised her hand and said very little in class. She waited until her professors returned to their offices before she could approach them with questions or comments about the day’s lessons. She was shy, she acknowledged, and never saw herself as being academically gifted.

“Law school opened my world...

I loved the critical thinking – taking one idea and looking at it from so many vantage points, almost like through a prism.”

She also was scared of the pressure. When she learned that she was ranked first out of 150 students after that first year, Korn got so nervous that she vomited. When the law school awarded her a prestigious scholarship for her achievements, she begged her professors to keep her name off the plaque until after graduation.

Not once during her three years of law school did she disclose to anyone that she was at the top of the class.

When she graduated in 1983, Korn was ready for the world. “Law school changed my image of myself,” she said. “It made me understand that I was smart and I had something to contribute. It opened up employment and career doors. … It gave me the opportunity to do something really wonderful and to have choices in my life.”

A FOCUS ON LEARNING, A PASSION FOR RIGHT At the University of Colorado Law School, women comprised only one-third of Korn’s graduating class. At that time, the school had only two female professors.

Like going to law school in the first place, it never would have occurred to Korn to

consider teaching law were it not for the encouragement of a faculty member.

“I didn’t think that being a law professor was something I could do until a faculty member (at University of Colorado Law School) approached me and asked if I’d ever considered teaching,” Korn recalled.

After spending about two years in New York City at a private practice specializing in labor and employment laws as well as commercial litigation, she decided to take the plunge into academia.

She landed a job at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law in Tucson. There, she became the John D. Lyons Professor of Law, where she specialized in employment law, employment discrimination and civil procedure. In 2005, she became the associate dean for curriculum and information technology. Two years ago, she was appointed the law school’s vice dean.

During her tenure at the University of Arizona, Korn was considered a strong and effective administrator. She also earned the respect of faculty and students.

On numerous occasions, the student body voted to honor her with various teaching awards. She also won several outstanding administrator awards.

“I love being in the classroom and teaching,” said Korn, who earned a reputation for being a dynamic educator who built rapport with students and faculty. “I work really hard to make it a positive learning experience for students.

I try to call on lots of people in order to hear from many different perspectives.”

Korn continues to delve into the issues that drew her to law in the first place: social justice and the rights of minorities. In recent years, her research in employment law has led her to write and publish articles with titles that include “Too Fat,” and “Crazy (Mental Illness and the ADA).”

These articles and others explore what it means to be disabled and how these individuals experience discrimination in employment, she explained.

“Why do we make people prove that they are disabled but we don’t have to prove

“I view this as collaboration,” says Korn. “The dean’s role is to make sure that there is process and that all the various voices are heard. I can make hard decisions when I need to but I am a believer in consensus and faculty governance.”

that we are Asian American or African American?” asked Korn, noting how the Americans with Disabilities Act defines disability but Title VII of the Civil Rights Act does not have the same requirement for race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

committed to learning and social justice; a dedicated staff; an innovative new curriculum; a law school with a mission.

As a result, she focuses on people who have been stigmatized – people who are heavier or thinner than others, individuals struggling with cancer, the mentally ill.

“Stigma is discrimination but it is not defined that way by the law,” she said.

The 14-member search committee chaired by Gonzaga Trustee and Law School alumnus Don Curran spent seven rigorous months in search of a replacement for Earl Martin, who became dean in July 2005 and stepped down to become Gonzaga’s executive vice president.

Her perspective on minority issues also has been influenced by her experience as a parent. As the mother of three children – Noah, Abigail and Minh – she often had to answer a lot of questions from strangers. “Are they sisters?” they would ask about Abigail, who arrived from Korea in 1990, and Minh, who was born in Vietnam and became part of the family in 1997. “Of course, they’re sisters,” she would reply, even though she knew that people were wondering if they were biological sisters, especially since their older brother had red hair.

“It’s difficult for our society to think of ourselves as more than one thing at a time,” she said, recalling some of the cases she investigated at the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. “We make assumptions based on appearances. We like to put people in neat boxes even though the reality is far from black and white.”

GONZAGA: “THE RIGHT FIT” From the moment she arrived on campus, Korn knew she was meant to be at Gonzaga.

She quickly fell in love with Spokane and the campus. She also was impressed with what she saw: Talented faculty devoted to their students and scholarship; students

Those who hired her were equally impressed.

As the group’s facilitator and moderator, Curran created a collegial and collaborative committee dedicated to finding someone with a vision for the law school. During the search, 30 other law schools across the country — including Boston College, University of San Diego and University of Oregon — also were seeking new deans.

“There was a lot of competition going on,” Curran acknowledged.

As they searched, the Gonzaga committee members composed a list of qualities that they wanted to see in a leader. “We wanted the dean applicant to enthusiastically accept and be guided by and implement the Law School mission statement,” Curran said. “We wanted the individual to have the virtues of wisdom, courage, prudence and justice. We wanted that person to have an excellent reputation as an experienced educator and administrator… We wanted commitment to alumni development, cultural diversity and equal opportunity… We wanted someone who has a real passionate commitment to student welfare.”

They also wanted to ensure that the new dean would share the following goals: a high bar passage rate; a job-placement program for graduates; strong ties to the staff and faculty, to the students and also to alumni and the broader community.

Thirty-two people applied for the job at Gonzaga Law School. The search committee narrowed the pool to 11, all of whom were interviewed via videoconference. In the meantime, committee members spent numerous hours reviewing the applicants’ written materials and curriculum vitae, as well as talking to references and others from the applicants’ schools.

Only six were invited to campus for three days of intense interviews with Gonzaga constituents that began at daybreak and ended after dinnertime.

How did Korn stand out among this group of highly qualified applicants?

“Contacting references supplied by Korn — and those the committee independently located — disclosed a sterling reputation without a professional blemish, and a passionate commitment to students,” Curran said.

During her exit interview with the committee, Korn was asked what she learned about Gonzaga during her three days on campus. She told them how impressed she was with the quality of the faculty and students. She expressed concerns about the increasing cost of tuition everywhere and the need for law schools to address students’ struggle with high debt and finding work in an increasingly tight job market. Korn also thanked them for their questions and the conviviality with which she was received.

She knows how to strike a balance, Curran said. Korn has a warm approach but she isn’t afraid of confrontation, he said.

Since Korn started her job in July, she already has met with lawyers in the community who hold the new dean in high esteem, according to Curran. She also has begun to establish relationships with people who have a special place in their hearts for Gonzaga and its Law School.

“She has a very analytical mind, a great legal imagination and a very cordial and professional manner,” Curran said. “We felt that she would be a wonderful fit for Gonzaga.”

A HEART FOR COMMUNITY, AN EYE TOWARD THE FUTURE From the moment she arrived on campus this summer, Korn has hit the ground running.

Before meeting one-on-one with each faculty member, she sent all of them an email asking them to list three things they love about the Law School and three things they’d rather see changed. Korn said she was looking for threads and themes to get a better idea of the work that needs to be accomplished.

“I view this as collaboration,” she said.

“The dean’s role is to make sure that there is process and that all the various voices are heard. I can make hard decisions when I need to but I am a believer in consensus and faculty governance.”

In addition to developing relationships with the faculty, staff and students, Korn also shared a commitment to continue boosting Gonzaga’s profile nationwide.

The Law School’s new curriculum is spectacular, but not enough people known about it, she said.

“There’s a movement in legal education to incorporate skills training,” she said.

“Gonzaga has already done that. This school was at the forefront. People who

graduate from Gonzaga have skills and the practitioners see the difference.”

Korn expressed a commitment to diversity, especially as the school’s first female dean and also the first one who is Jewish.

Is it a big deal to finally have a woman lead the Law School after nearly a century? Of course not, many would say.

She certainly wasn’t chosen for the job because of her gender.

But for others – especially the women and those who never thought they would actually go to law school but are now fulfilling their dreams – Korn’s hire is indeed significant. Her presence at the helm sends the message: “I did it. You can do it, too.”

Korn herself doesn’t focus much on being the first female dean at Gonzaga, although acknowledges it is important in “a role-model sense,” she said.

Instead, she has centered her attention on building upon the Law School’s foundation of excellent teaching and the University’s mission to serve others.

After meeting with Korn for the first time, people come away with similar descriptions: She’s warm and caring. She asks a lot of questions. She listens with an open mind.

She’s also well-rounded. In addition to spending time with her children, Korn’s hobbies include playing the piano, oil painting, cooking, reading fiction and spending time with her two dogs – Lucy, a Lab-shepherd mix and Bosley, a miniature poodle.

“I’m delighted to be here,” says Korn. “I look forward to becoming part of the larger Gonzaga family, both alumni and friends, and working together to continue the tradition of excellence.”

And like everything else in her life, Korn approaches her new role at Gonzaga with excitement, energy and humility.

“I’m delighted to be here,” says Korn.

“I look forward to becoming part of the larger Gonzaga family, both alumni and friends, and working together to continue the tradition of excellence.”

Save-the-date Webster School

espite being a night school with many students holding full-time jobs, Gonzaga Law School was operating in a somewhat similar manner as when it opened for day classes in 1970 — the year it is considered as joining the ranks of mainstream law schools across the country.

The first Gonzaga Law Review, for example, had already debuted. The first issue was published in 1966 with Charlie Flower as editor. The single issue price was $2.

Flower, a Yakima attorney, recalls that the birth of the Law Review was not an easy one. Then full-time night students didn’t have much extra time on their hands. (As I recall my own experiences, such a task was indeed a major undertaking even as a student at a full-time day school. I was the first editor-in-chief of the University of Idaho Law Review that was published just two years prior.) Despite any obstacles, it was created and the first lead article was written by Eldon H. Reilly, then a faculty lecturer.

A study by one Gonzaga head law librarian in later years concluded that a substantial number of law review articles cited by the Washington Supreme Court – in some years the majority – were from the Gonzaga Law Review.

The clinical law program was “born” in 1972 by the Student Bar Association (with less than great enthusiasm by the Law School administration). At least one (anonymous) member of the Bar lodged a formal complaint that it was the unauthorized practice of law. Jerry Moberg, the Student Bar Association class president, persisted with the help of Judge Kathryn Mautz and Doug Lambert. After a formal hearing before the Washington State Bar Association and with some interest by a local KREM TV reporter, the Bar Association decided this was a very good idea and not a problem at all.

The Gonzaga Student Bar Association won the National Award for Outstanding Student Bar Association the following spring. The law school shortly instigated its own formal clinical law program through Jeff Hartje and Mark Wilson. The program has flourished, provided practical education in an often impractical legal education system, and is one of the most important contributions by the Student Bar Association. Imagine, having students actually practice law rather than just read about it. Heresy.

The Class Action Newspaper made its appearance in 1972. At first it was an “underground newspaper.” Now copies reside in the Rare Books Archive of the Crosby Law Library. They make great reading.

Gary Randall is a beloved former Gonzaga Law professor who taught Tax and Community Property classes for 30 years.

Helping Those Who Have Served Us Two Law School Grads Impact the Community with a Commitment to Public Service For Vance Peterson (B.A.’75 & J.D.’82) and Fred Aronow (B.A. ‘67& J.D. ‘81), the opportunity to start the Spokane County Veterans Court was one that could not be missed. The combination of Peterson, a retired Army Special Forces officer and the current presiding judge for Spokane District Court, and Aronow, a retired Superior Court commissioner and Army colonel (ret), has proven to be powerful when it comes to helping our local veterans. Aronow also serves as the pro tem judge for the Veterans Court and is the director of the nonprofit Spokane Veterans Forum. Additionally, Peterson serves as chief judge of the court.

Fred Aronow and a local veteran

The Veterans Court, originally created by Judge Robert Russell of New York, has become one of the top alternative and therapeutic treatment option models in the system. The Spokane court, established in September of 2010, graduated its first class in August 2011. According to Peterson, the court has approximately 65 open files and hopes to graduate up to five veterans each month.

When asked why they wanted to get involved and oversee this new court, Peterson said, “As a Judge I started noticing more and more young people appearing in front of me who were charged with offenses

“The system had to look at an alternative way to hold them accountable and ensure that, with proper treatment, they would not re-offend.” and yet did not have any criminal history. The common thread was the fact that they were veterans of the most recent wars and I realized that the conventional court system would not be able to properly address the issues that these folks faced.” The Veterans Court is unique in that it balances a therapeutic approach of rehabilitation with a process of accountability. According to Peterson: “The system had to look at an alternative way to hold them accountable and ensure that, with proper treatment, they would not re-offend.” Aronow echoed many of the same statements, “As a Vietnam vet, attorney and judge, seeing the opportunity to participate in a true therapeutic court process to help vets who are charged with offenses such as DUI or DV related matters was instantly compelling and has become a labor of love.”

According to Aronow and Peterson, the most important thing for the legal and general community to know about the Spokane County Veterans Court and it’s closest partner, the Spokane Veterans Forum, is that they are available now for those veterans who have been charged with a Continued on page 14 GONZAGA LAWYER

I N the NE WS misdemeanor or criminal traffic offense, or occasionally a low-level felony pled down to a misdemeanor. Once the offender has been confirmed by the VA as a veteran and has a diagnosis of PTSD or TBI, the Veterans Court team consisting of the judge, probation department, prosecutor, public defender or private lawyer will see the veteran through the justice process. The typical resolution of an offense is usually through a probation period of two years during which time the vet participates in appropriate therapeutic services such as alcohol treatment and counseling, therapy for PTSD and/or TBI and attends a variety of informational and therapeutic presentations conducted by the Spokane Veterans Forum. The forum provides each vet with a veteran gender-appropriate mentor, who helps the vet through the process. The veteran’s 24-month probation period can be reduced by a month for every monthly Forum he/she attends, and normally will “graduate” from the program in 12 months.

The Forum, a separate nonprofit entity, depends on donations and volunteers to perform its critical mission on behalf of the vets. The Forum is the heart of the Veterans Court program and is serviced by dozens of community partners, many of whose representatives at the forum sessions are veterans themselves. It meets monthly and the vets, service providers and mentors share a meal provided by the forum prior to the

Gonzaga Law School is proud of Aronow and Peterson for their commitment to public service and for helping those in need.

start of the training sessions. For many of the vets, it is the first time they have had the chance to be with and around other vets. Institutions such as (but not limited to) Gonzaga University, Goodwill Industries, state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) and the Northwest Justice Project all participate in the program.

When asked about the effectiveness of the program, Peterson says, “Overall, we have a very low recidivism rate. I want the community to know that this court significantly reduces the chance of recidivism among this group of offenders. In fact, in conjunction with the Veterans Forum, the court experience can put them in a position to better themselves and thereby make the community a better place.”

For both Aronow and Peterson, their commitment to public service and the desire to serve at the highest level was in part inspired by their time spent at Gonzaga Law School.

Aronow, who is also the current Ambassador to Washington for the Chief of the U.S. Army Reserves in the Pentagon, stated, “I am a two-time GU grad, and was imprinted by the Jesuit message of local, community, and/or national service, and have been continuously in such service since 1967. The Law School carried the same message and provided me with the skills of understanding the legal process and issue identification and analysis.” Peterson has the same fondness for the values he took away from the Law School, “I entered law school fresh out of my first tour with the Army and promptly linked up with a number of other veterans who were starting their first year as well.

That association, filtered through the Law School’s faculty and administration, raised my awareness of the plight of the disadvantaged and how the system should be able to help those less fortunate while still holding them accountable in a criminal justice situation.”

Study Abroad Programs Professor Acharya leads students in China, Florence Between May 30 and July 9, 2011, a group of 11 2L and 3L Gonzaga Law students traveled to and within China as part of a new study abroad program in conjunction with the law schools at the University of Montana and the University of South Dakota. Each university provided a professor to teach in the program with Professor Upendra Acharya representing Gonzaga Law School.

Although Gonzaga students have long had the opportunity to spend the summer studying in Florence, Italy, this marks the first time that they have had the chance to study abroad as part of a Gonzaga-sponsored program in China.

“Sending students to China is a challenging cultural endeavor, very different from sending someone to England or Germany,” said Professor George Critchlow, who spearheaded the study abroad program while serving as interim dean during the 2010-11 school year.

The program is also unique as an example of study abroad programs in China offered by other American law schools.

Unique program has students traveling among venues “So far as I know, ours is the only type of program where students move to different venues,” he said. “It’s attractive to a certain kind of student who wants a variety of geographical and cultural experiences.”

Critchlow also directed the Gonzaga in Florence Summer Law Program this past summer, after which he spent a week in China reviewing the new program.

The 35 participating students from the three law schools began with 14 days at the Law School of the China Youth University for Political Sciences in Beijing, where they took two one-week courses on the Chinese legal system and comparative law.

“After completing those two intensive courses, they got on an airplane and flew to a city named Guiyang, which is more of a rural setting off the beaten path,” explained Critchlow. “You don’t see too many Western tourists there.”

Professor Upendra Acharya

Travel by bus to Chongquing, the largest city in the world Following two weeks and two courses in business law and negotiations at the Guizhou University of Finance and Economics in Guiyang, the students traveled by bus to Chongqing. It is the largest city in the world, with a population that sources put between 29 and 32 million.

For the past three years, the Southwest University of Political Science and Law (SWUPL) in Chongqing has sent a delegation of Chinese students to study at Gonzaga Law. This was the first time SWUPL has hosted Gonzaga Law students, who took courses in trade and environmental law alongside the other study abroad participants.

While there, the students also took a three-day boat trip up the Yangtze River to visit the Three Gorges Dam to learn about its economic and environmental impacts firsthand.

Participation by Chinese exposes GU students to new perspectives Another noteworthy twist on the conventional study abroad program was the inclusion of Chinese students and co-teachers in the classrooms. This exposed the American students to different ideologies and methodologies.

“Students were very pleased to have this experience,” said Critchlow. “They were exhausted, but you could tell that for many of them it was a life-changing experience. They had really bonded as a group and they got a lot out of this.”

Based on the preliminary student feedback, he said it is all the more apparent that China presents a meaningful foreign study opportunity for law students and could be a significant ongoing complement to the Florentine study abroad program.

“This is an example of the Law School making sure that it’s being responsive in a very progressive way to modern, global educational needs that are relevant to students and their career opportunities,” he said.

“China’s going to be the superpower that counts. We’ve got to have lawyers that can work with them. And our students know that.”

Changes in the Gonzaga Neighborhood

by E.J. Ianelli

O

n Hamilton Street, two longtime Gonzaga student haunts have come into new ownership, and a new retail space stands on the former site of a popular pizzeria.

“It was an opportunity to meet with people,” he said. “We shared good conversation, both about the law and other topics, which in turn helped created relationships and build rapport.”

Many Gonzaga alumni have fond memories of The Bulldog, which changed hands this past August. “The Bulldog” name leaves with the previous owners. A new establishment will be opening soon.

Nearby, the Italian restaurant known as Geno’s has been completely renovated to accommodate a new lounge, an outdoor seating area, and classic circus-themed décor.

For sixty-five years, the tavern has been a regular gathering spot for many — before and after GU sporting events, following an exam, or simply to meet friends.

Countless Zags have stopped by for a free pitcher of beer on their 21st birthday.

Its new owner, William Webster, also runs Zola, a hip downtown bar and restaurant with food that gets rave reviews. His newest venture will still dish up Italian fare, but with more cosmopolitan influences.

Gonzaga law school alumnus and Anchorage-based public policy attorney Bob Evans (’79) fondly recalls visiting with classmates and faculty at the conveniently located hangout.

Just two blocks to the south, a multitenant retail space called Clementine Square is being erected on the spot where David’s Pizza once stood. Instead of squeezing into a smaller location in

the new building, David’s Pizza owner Mark Starr opted to move his business elsewhere.

Although many Gonzaga students were unhappy to see David’s leave the immediate area after 14 years, the new retail space promises to pack more variety onto the same property. It will be home to several restaurants including Noodle Works and regionally based Bruchi’s Cheesesteaks & Subs. There are also plans for a frozen yogurt vendor and a small pizza joint.

Clementine Square should be open for business by the start of 2012.

CLINIC NEWS by Stephen Faust

by Linda McLan

Students, Colleagues and Friends Mourn the Loss of Mike Chappell

M

ike Chappell, Gonzaga Environmental Law Clinic director and Spokane Riverkeeper representative, passed away suddenly while golfing Sept. 11. He is survived by his wife and two young children, as well as a school and community still reeling from his untimely death.

Chappell, 44, and his family moved to Spokane from San Francisco in 2009 after an environmental project brainstorm with local water and University representatives during a Spokane business trip, according to a 2009 article by the Spokane Center for Justice. In making the transition, Chappell became entrenched in the politics of Spokane River protection through both educational and nonprofit sectors.

Apart from his part-time position at Gonzaga, Chappell worked with Spokane Riverkeeper, a national advocacy group he brought to Spokane with lawyer Rick Eichstaedt, who admired Chappell’s ability to use his intelligence and social skills to push hard in adversarial circumstances and yet, also build consensus and shape agreements.

Gonzaga Law held a memorial service for Chappell shortly after his death. The attendance of nearly 200 mourners attested to the enormity of his impact on Gonzaga and the Spokane community.

“The guy just moved to town two years ago; people came out of the woodwork. He had vested himself in the community in a way that was well-received,” said Gonzaga Law professor George Critchlow.

Indeed, the void left by Chappell’s untimely death cannot hope to be filled by one professor alone. His students predict that multiple experts will step in to compensate for his absence.

“It is a very popular program. He was a very popular teacher and students loved him,” Critchlow said. “He and the students were doing a lot of good

work in the community that focused on clear-river issues. He was an experienced environmental lawyer having come from doing water work with a nonprofit law firm in San Francisco. [It has been a] painful and hard transition. It’s a huge loss.”

Derek Leuzzi, a third-year grad student who worked under Chappell, lost a teacher, mentor and friend.

“I came to school at 8:30 that morning to go work in the clinic,” said Leuzzi, who then was told of Chappell’s death. “We’re all still feeling the effects of him leaving.

We’ve always worked with him as students.

He was also our friend, mentor - he taught us everything. We worked with him every day in very direct ways.”

“He was a very popular teacher and students loved him. He and the students were doing a lot of good work in the community that focused on clear-river issues.”

Chappell created an environmental program through focusing on the convenient adjacency of the Spokane River.

This year, the clinic received a $10,000 grant from a Seattle endowment to help prevent stormwater from polluting the river. The grant policies would create hands-on education —from legal casework for eight Gonzaga Law School interns to water testing by Spokane Falls Community College students.

“He pretty much started the Environmental Law Clinic. He came into town and pretty much blew it away, as far as environmentalism [was concerned]. They had a little Environmental Law Clinic, but it was a very substantial [change]. When we think about the Environmental Law

Mike Chappell 1967-2011

Clinic now, it’s pretty much what it’s been since Mike’s been in charge,” Leuzzi said. “He brought in a lot of really good suits and activism. I personally believe that Spokane had a real revolution of environmental activism after Mike came in to town. They discovered a need for Mike, and he really responded to that.”

Though Chappell is no longer physically present in the community, his foundation of local environmental and educational pursuits will pave the way for future endeavors, according to Critchlow, who noted that Chappell was in the peak of life.

“The thing that was so sad, among other things, is that his life was unfolding,” Critchlow said. He was doing exactly what he wanted. He wanted to be an environmental lawyer, he wanted opportunities to make contributions to the community, he wanted to teach, he wanted to work with students and inspire them to work on environmental issues. He wanted to have a life where he had time with his wife and kids. It was all happening for him in such a positive way. And now it’s not. It makes you reflect on life. It’s a huge loss for someone like him to die so young, because there is so much ahead.”

Professor Larry Weiser, director of the Clinic hopes to continue the Environmental Law Clinic in the same spirit and professionalism that Chappell brought to the Law School and to the Spokane community.

Mission Possible Trip Mission Possible spent the entire school year doing more fundraising than ever to help make the group trip to Honduras possible. Students held taco sales, a pub crawl, a kickball tournament, and then even more taco sales. It was all worth it when they pulled into Lapaera. During the week, the group was able to paint two schools and buy backpacks for all of the students at the second school. While in the small town of Ocotillo, they painted the entire school inside and out. The muchneeded facelift brought smiles to all of the students and teachers. As a thank you, the children treated the law students to an afternoon of performances including singing, dancing and acting. After the show, they shared a lunch of authentic Honduran food. The students ended their time in Honduras with a trip to Copan where they split off into groups, touring the ruins, zip lining, and visiting Macaw Mountain.

Every year, it is a gift for the members of Mission Possible to spend spring break helping outside communities. In the past few years in Lapaera, law students have been able to make lasting impacts through their hard work and the generous donations from the Gonzaga community. Thank you.

Orientation Service Project Twenty five 1Ls joined Gonzaga Law faculty and staff for the annual Orientation Service Project, sponsored by the Center for Law in Public Service (CLIPS). Volunteers spent an afternoon painting, cleaning, and improving the grounds at St. Joseph Family Center, a nonprofit counseling and retreat center located near the Law School.

Extern Andres Moses Andres Moses, was honored and given a special commendation from Andy Hafen, the Mayor of Henderson, Nev., for the work he has accomplished on the Carmel water litigation case. After all was said and done, between Andres and another extern, the students saved the city of Henderson more than $22,000 in litigation fees; the students worked through some dense discovery, which the city would have had to refer out to private counsel.

Our students truly have some amazing experiences as externs, and this is just one fine example. Congratulations Andres!

CLIPS Debuts at Gonzaga Law

Center for Law in Public Service educates students; joins first-of-kind state advocacy effort

by Ailey Kato and Owen Mooney

Program brings new opportunities for law students and formalizes the already existing mission to be in service to others.

The CLIPS mission statement: “To support the aspirations of students who study law in order to use their knowledge and skills for public service, whether they wish to make a full-time practice of public service law or promote the public good through part-time, pro bono legal work.”

To some, this might be news that Gonzaga did not already have an overarching program focused on public service law.

After all, as a Jesuit institution, Gonzaga always has been committed to educating the whole person to serve the public good.

Indeed, because social justice permeates so much of the work of the law school, for many years there seemed to be no need to formalize its myriad efforts.

Now, however, taking these steps to formally create the Center for Law in Public Service has brought new opportunities that aim to advance the interests and education of students who plan to apply their legal education for public service. CLIPS is facilitating Gonzaga’s participation in the statewide Moderate Means Program, in which law students will volunteer to help provide access to justice to those whose income is sufficient to disqualify them for legal aid, but not enough to allow them to retain an attorney at market rates. The program is a collaborative venture between the Washington State Bar Association and

Washington’s three law schools. It is the first program in the nation to partner with law schools to provide access to justice in this manner.

CLIPS assistant Director and Staff Attorney, Laurie Powers recently joined Gonzaga to oversee the operation of the WSBA Moderate Means Program and help direct other CLIPS programs. Powers recruits, trains and supervises law student volunteers who handle client intake, case assessment, and referral to private attorneys for reduced-fee representation.

The program focuses on the highest legal needs for low and moderate income Washingtonians in cases of family, housing and consumer law. From June through September, Gonzaga students already processed 109 requests for assistance, performed 72 intake interviews, and referred 46 clients to local lawyers.

As of fall 2011, 19 Gonzaga students have volunteered their time to the Moderate Means Program, including undergoing training on how to interview clients and on substantive areas of law. The program allows law students an opportunity to sharpen their legal skills in working with lower-income clients. As one student volunteer said, “having real facts, emotions, timelines and clients has been more beneficial to my legal education than any hypothetical taught in a class.”

Another student volunteer remarked that her participation in the Moderate Means Program “tangibly reminded me that it is both my duty and privilege to legally advocate for those in need, not just those who can afford it.”

CLIPS also has been instrumental in launching the Public Service Brown Bag & Justice (PBJ) Forum. PBJ is a weekly discussion for the entire Law School community on current social and legal justice issues. Speakers include members of the local bar, the judiciary, civic leaders, social activists, law students, staff and faculty. The law student Alliance for Social Justice co-sponsors the PBJ forum, held most Mondays at noon. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are, indeed, available at all PBJ events.

While CLIPS is serving as a support structure for new programs to help students reach their goals of using law for public service, some of the initiatives under the auspices of CLIPS were in place long before the official start. For example, the Thomas More Scholarship Program, initiated in 1980, now fits under the CLIPS mantle. As well, Thomas More students are reaping the benefits by being able to rely on Powers growing expertise on crafting fellowship applications.

Fighting the Good Fight – An Advocate for the Common Man The John R. Clark Loan Repayment Assistance Program Each year, approximately 150 students graduate with their J.D.s from Gonzaga Law School. Gonzaga Law has always been focused on preparing students to enter into the practice of law with passion and a true love for the law itself. John Clark, class of 1980, was one of those very students. He not only had a great experience as a student, but also spent the next 30 years as one of the most successful and well-respected defense attorneys in the Spokane area. John Clark passed away Oct. 8, 2010, leaving a legacy that will be hard to match.

“He loved law school – the classes, the intellectual challenges, the quick wit and humor of law students and The Bulldog Tavern on Thursday nights. He thought everybody should go to law school, and was always trying to talk people into going. He had so much fun in school he couldn’t understand why all these other people weren’t interested,” said Superior Court Judge and 1982 Gonzaga Law graduate Ellen Clark, John’s wife of 30 years.

For John, who was originally from Webster Groves, Mo., the journey began as a youngster when he would watch the television show “Perry Mason.” “John liked to be the one who rescued people. He enjoyed helping others from a young age,” said Ellen.

Ellen also remembered a story about a run-in John had with a judge when he was 15 or 16. He was told he could not get his driver’s license until he was 18. “When he found out that wasn’t true, he decided someone needed to stand up for people – like him – in court,” said Ellen.

John became interested in Gonzaga while studying accounting as an undergraduate at the University of Missouri. He read an article written by legendary Gonzaga Law Professor Gary Randall. John attended night school while working during the day.

As John grew closer to graduation, he realized that he wanted to practice criminal defense work. “His desire to help people and to protect their rights against the government drove him for many, many years. He truly believed that the government, when attempting to convict people, should be held to the standards set in the Constitution,” said Ellen. This passion and belief guided John and he became known as one of Spokane’s go-to guys when it came to top rated criminal defense work. He was known not only for his work ethic, but also his compassion. “He thought every person deserved a second chance, or third, or fourth, or however many it took for them to straighten up,” said Ellen.

“As a lawyer, he could help them get those extra chances and turn their lives around. He also loved the intellectual challenge– always trying to outsmart the other side.” One of John’s most memorable cases was known as the “Spokane 17.” John was part

of a group of attorneys who represented, pro bono, protesters who were arrested on July 4, 2007, as they demonstrated in Riverfront Park. In addition to John’s intellectual prowess, his compassionate side always shone through. He truly believed in the Jesuit philosophy of giving back to society, and practiced this very concept throughout his career. Often he would provide legal services, and car repairs, to those who could not afford his fee – in exchange for a plate of chocolate chip cookies.

Away from the courtroom, John was known as a great father and husband. His passion for his children was second to none. He worked hard to make sure he and Ellen raised their children to be tough and independent. In addition to his family life, John had many other hobbies including collecting firearms, racing cars, hunting, fishing and steam engines.

Clark’s mark on society and Spokane, in particular, is evident.

His passion and love of the law were legendary. His belief that everyone deserved a second chance and solid legal representation were unheralded. John spent his entire career practicing with fellow Gonzaga grads Robert Crary (’80), Jim Domanico (’81) and more recently Dean Chuang (’06).

In honor of John’s commitment to the profession and his support of the law school over the years, family and friends have established the John R. Clark Loan Repayment Assistance Program. The endowment will be set up to provide loan repayment assistance relief each year to a select number of Gonzaga Law School graduates who have the same passion for the law and are working as public defenders. “John believed members of the bar have a responsibility to assist, teach and mentor young attorneys. He encouraged many law students to go into criminal law, and he believed in the need for strong public defender offices. He was very grateful to Gonzaga for accepting him and bringing him to Spokane where he was able to have a very successful life and career. He would love to be able to help newer graduates financially so they could fight the good fight without having to worry about debt payments,” said Ellen.

Gonzaga University School of Law is thankful to John and Ellen Clark for their combined contributions to the community and the legal profession. If you are interested in donating to, or supporting the John R. Clark Loan Repayment Assistance endowment, please contact Jeff Geldien at jgeldien@lawschool.gonzaga.edu or 509.313.6121.

During the Challenge, alumni are asked to support Gonzaga University School of Law through an individual gift to the law school annual fundraising campaign. The firms with the highest alumni participation win the challenge.

Mary Kelly McCue Mary Kelly McCue, 60, died on Easter Sunday, April 24, 2011, in Helena, after a valiant battle with pancreatic cancer.

Mary attended Gonzaga University School of Law, where she was an editor of the Law Review, and earned her law degree there in 1980. From 1980 to 1984, she worked for the state of Washington as an administrative law judge for the Office of Administrative Hearings. While a law student, she met her future husband, Stephen R. McCue, a fellow student, and they were married on Aug. 15, 1981, in Havre Mont. They moved to Sunnyside, Wash., where their first child, Kevin, was born in 1983.

The family moved to Helena in 1984, where Mary was employed by the Legislative Council as a staff attorney. Mary and Steve were blessed with two more children, Caroline and Patrick. In 1990, she entered private practice, practicing primarily in the areas of administrative law and governmental relations. She became executive director of the Montana Dental Association in 2000, where she worked at the time of her death. She was inducted as an honorary member of the American Dental Association in 2010.

A gift with benefits “Gonzaga Law has meant so much to me and my career. I wanted to support the school and found that a charitable gift annuity is an excellent way to reduce income taxes, while receiving a good rate of return on the gift annuity amount.”

The Hon. John Madden (retired) ‘68
