O

ur Centennial year has been wonderful so far and much is yet to come. World renowned author Scott Turow was the kickoff speaker for this year.

A few weeks later, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit came to hear oral arguments at Gonzaga. Chief Judge Kozinski, Judge Christen and Judge Watford were kind enough to also attend several classes and engage with our students, in addition to hearing three cases. There was certainly a buzz in the air when they were here and we had a standing-room-only crowd in the Barbieri Courtroom.

We welcomed 132 new 1L students fall semester. Like most law schools around the country, our law school class was smaller than usual but the class is wonderful. They are smart, engaged and enthusiastic. The class is 44 percent female and members hail from 23 different states and 67 different undergraduate schools including Arizona State University, Brigham Young University, Santa Clara University, the United States Air Force Academy, the University of Delaware, the University of Alaska – Anchorage, the University of Colorado – Boulder, the University of Virginia and the University of Washington. They are also a remarkably interesting and diverse group. One of the unusual aspects of law school, unlike other graduate schools, is that the undergraduate major is virtually irrelevant and many are represented in this 1L class. Majors included finance, history, psychology, business, German, journalism, political science, English, philosophy, international studies and economics.

Several have advanced degrees.

The entering class brings with it amazing and varied experience. Among the 1L class is someone who taught English in Korea and another who taught English in Austria.

One created his own software company and someone else worked on a tugboat in Puget Sound. One of these amazing students started law school 25 years ago but left to work in Haiti. One served in the U.S. Navy, one is a certified dive master and one participated in Teach for America. Still another member of this diverse group was scouted by the New York Mets, one speaks Russian, one interned with the Council on American-Islamic Relations and another worked for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.

Our year was tinged with sadness, too. This past year has been a time of loss for the law school – we lost some real giants in our history – John Clute, Bill Clarke, Vern Davidson and Lew Orland. Many of our successes are built on their legacies and we owe them much.

Dean Jane Korn

We have also had to say goodbye to some beloved staff but we have welcomed others along with two new faculty. Holly Brajcich left us and Laurie Powers became our new Director of the Center for Professional Development (formerly known as Career Services). Catherine Brown moved from the WSBA in Seattle to become the Assistant Director of the Center for Law and Public Service, to run our Moderate Means program.

Jessica Kiser joined us from Loyola New Orleans to teach Intellectual Property and Kevin Michels left the College of New Jersey to become the J. Donald and VaLena Scarpelli Curran Chair of Legal Ethics and Professionalism. Associate Dean Vickie Williams will be stepping down from her administrative position to rejoin the faculty and to concentrate her efforts more on her interest in health law. Professor Sandra Simpson will become our new Associate Director of Academic Affairs this summer. Nancy Fike left us at the end of October to assume an exciting career opportunity. Susan Harmon and Al Tesdal both retired on Dec.12 and were celebrated at our holiday luncheon. And last, but not least, Professor John Maurice is retiring from full-time teaching this spring.

We have much to celebrate about our recent grads. Although the overall statewide bar pass rate for the July 2012 exam was only 65.5 percent, our pass rate for first time takers was 78.6 percent. And while we all know that it is a difficult employment market for our new grads, I am also pleased to say that Gonzaga had the highest employment rate of any law school in the state this past year for full-time jobs that require a JD. Please join us in celebrating our Centennial – you can see all the upcoming events at www.law.gonzaga.edu/100. This is a special year for us and I hope many of you will be joining us to mark this occasion and help make it a meaningful and joyful experience.

Gonzaga Law School turns 100

By Dean Jane Korn

I

t is a privilege for me to be Dean during the Centennial year for Gonzaga Law School. We are not only looking back at our history but also looking forward to our future.

The past is full of wonderful and funny stories. One of the most colorful stories I have heard revolved around the 1976 Heidelberg. Gary Randall told me that he thinks that for some of the more colorful history of Gonzaga Law, the movie rights would have sold for millions. But other stories involved beautiful traditions, courage and change. Women began to be admitted in greater numbers, people worked so hard all day and went to law school every night, the clinic was started and the night school was phased out.

The future of Gonzaga Law is bright as we learn to fold the traditions of the past into our future. Legal education is changing and we will change with it. It is impossible to know how the practice of law will change and evolve during the next 100 years but we need to be able to work with the practicing bar to understand the needs and to respond to them. Our students will be the next generation of lawyers and leaders around the country and it is our responsibility to prepare them for that.

Recently, there has been a decided emphasis on experiential learning and we have been ahead of that curve. The future certainly holds more global opportunities for our students. We now have three international opportunities – Florence, China and Guatemala – and are looking at an exchange program with a law school in Brazil. As the practice of law becomes more international, our students need to have cultural competency, language skills and experiential learning in other countries.

We are taking this time to reflect on the need to make changes in how we deliver legal education. We need to be more interdisciplinary and look at the possibility of relationships both with other schools at Gonzaga and at partnerships with other law schools. Legal education also has to keep pace with

technology. I hope that law schools never become entirely online but we need to learn to be comfortable with delivering legal education in a variety of formats. We cannot be complacent that what worked for the last 100 years will continue to work for the next 100 years. We have to accept that while change can be hard, it can also be exciting and creative and innovative. We need to embrace change and view it as an opportunity. As we adapt and change, one of the challenges we face is how to keep some of the traditions, while also being able to transform and grow and evolve.

We must also be mindful about the rising costs of higher education. While a legal education was seen as a golden ticket to a fulfilling and financially rewarding career upon graduation, this is not necessarily true today. The employment market is challenging and most students graduate with considerable debt.

Although law school, like an undergraduate education, is still a very worthwhile investment, it is a long-term investment. It is still true that the unemployment rate decreases with education, while average annual earnings increase by degrees earned. And while this is true in the long run, we need to find a way to help our students in the short term – while in law school with scholarship support and work to decrease the amount of debt for new grads.

People used to think of Gonzaga Law as a good regional law school. While we are proud of our past and the many excellent lawyers and leaders in the region who graduated from Gonzaga Law, our graduates need to be able to know they can practice anywhere – in another state or in another country.

The Gonzaga student population now hails from approximately 40 different states and this fact has focused the attention of the school on assisting students to expanding the geographic reach of their learning experience. In addition, the ongoing shift in the legal marketplace creates an opportunity for law schools and

law students to broaden the scope of what you can do with a law degree and expand the list of professional options. Our curriculum puts our students in a position to seize this opportunity on a national level.

As many of you are already aware, our curriculum requires each student to complete either an externship experience or participate in the law school’s in-house clinical program. Students are allowed to complete up to 15 credits in an externship placement at either a government entity or a nonprofit organization. This credit allocation allows for a student to complete a semester-long, full-time externship position at a qualifying agency anywhere in the United States or even abroad. In the last two years Gonzaga students have completed externships in at least 50 different locations across the United States. Students have completed externships in Washington, D.C., at the office of a U.S. Senator, in

Alaska at a public policy think tank focusing on Native-Alaskan issues, in both Spokane and Seattle in the general counsel’s office of not-for-profit hospitals and many placements right across the river from the law school at “Innovate Washington,” providing patent and intellectual property work for high-tech startups.

These are just a few examples of how Gonzaga students are able to utilize our curriculum to discover opportunities in a shifting legal marketplace. A Gonzaga diploma must enable our students to go anywhere they want to go. Our students are ambitious and curious and we need to support them – and we will.

Like many other law schools during this difficult economic period, we are taking this as an opportunity to think about how we can be leaner and more efficient while continuing to deliver the top-notch legal education we have been known for over the last 100 years. We do not yet have all the answers but we are asking the right questions. We do know that we have to provide the legal education that our students need. But law schools need to do more and Gonzaga consistently has. “The more” is about ethics, “the more” is about public service, “the more” is about giving back, “the more” is about leadership and “the more” is about being confident in the ability to do the right thing, to make good decisions, to care about others and to be proud of being a lawyer. One of the things I have learned during my time

here is that Gonzaga has been extraordinary about providing this aspect of a legal education. And I have also seen that the faculty and staff are committed to keeping that tradition.

So as we celebrate our first 100 years of Gonzaga Law, please join with me in thanking all of the people, past and present, for their hard work, their inspirational ideas, their commitment to legal education and for laying the groundwork for our future. As we look forward to our next 100 years, please also join in by helping us celebrate this year, by helping us keep the best traditions even as we transform and change, by supporting our students, by sharing your ideas, and by helping us provide both an excellent legal education, and a meaningful experience at Gonzaga Law for generations to come.

Dual-Use Research of Concern:

‘JURASSIC PARK’

MEETS THE FIRST AMENDMENT

BY ASSOCIATE DEAN AND ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR VICKIE J. WILLIAMS

I

n the movie “Jurassic Park,” Dr. Ian Malcolm (portrayed in typically quirky fashion by actor Jeff Goldblum), questions the wisdom of bioengineering extinct dinosaurs into life. He says “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, that they didn’t stop to think if they should.” Although we have not yet succeeded in resurrecting dinosaurs from extinction, questions about the ethics and wisdom of conducting scientific experiments, and the consequences of potential misuse of the information that comes from such experiments, is not confined to the realm of science fiction.

They come up all of the time in the realm of medical research, and were at the forefront of a widely reported clash between scientific values and the First Amendment in late 2011 and early 2012. That conflict is the subject of my current research and scholarship at Gonzaga.

When we think about medical research, we usually think about efforts to cure and prevent disease. Wide-scale misuse of medical research has mostly been the stuff of science fiction; something out of Michael Crichton novels or James Bond movies. But in 2011, when two different teams of scientists announced that they had successfully transformed the H5N1 influenza virus, commonly known as the “bird flu,” into a virus that would easily be transmitted through the air between mammals, it appeared that science fiction was about to converge with reality.

The bird flu virus, in its natural state, has a greater than 50 percent mortality rate, but it is not easily transmitted between humans.

People who contract the bird flu generally get it from infected birds. Therefore, it has mostly remained confined to parts of the world where people live in close proximity to domestic fowl, such as Southeast Asia. It has not resulted in widespread or worldwide pandemics, like the Spanish flu of 1918, which killed an estimated 50 million people around the world. In this day and age, in a much more mobile society, an easily transmissible version of the bird flu with a mortality rate of 50 percent would likely result in many more deaths than those that resulted from the Spanish flu, the deadliest pandemic in modern history. It would be a true public health disaster on a scale that we have not seen since the Middle Ages.

The research conducted by the two teams working with the bird flu was funded by the National Institutes of Health, and was purportedly conducted to assist the government in developing better pandemic surveillance methods, and to aid in vaccine or therapeutic drug development. The two research teams announced plans to publish their work separately in the widely read journals Nature and Science. The prospect that a literal “how-to” manual for bioterrorists, unscrupulous governments, or mentally unbalanced scientists seeking to unleash a deadly pandemic on the world would be readily available to the public, led to a major scientific and legal controversy over the place of censorship and the law in relation to “dual-use research of concern (DURC)” – scientific research that could easily be used for both beneficial and damaging purposes. Not since physicists working on nuclear weapons in the 1940s faced similar dilemmas had the conflict between free scientific inquiry and public health and safety been so prominently featured in the public eye. And in the 1940s, we did not have the Internet, Wikileaks, or Twitter. How can we protect public health and security without compromising either our scientific or constitutional values of free flow of information, freedom of speech and freedom of the press?

Initially, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB), which was created after the 9/11 anthrax incidents to

10

GONZAGA LAWYER

“provide advice, guidance, and leadership for a system of review and oversight of experiments of concern,” recommended that the bird flu studies be redacted before publication, citing public health and national security concerns. The scientists and journals agreed to a voluntary suspension of the research to give international experts time to consider how to proceed. Ultimately, after expert influenza researchers met with the scientists who conducted the experiments, the NSABB recommended publication in full. The studies were published in full in the spring of 2012, without any apparent adverse consequences as of yet.

Although the negotiated resolution of the bird flu experiment controversy avoided ultimate consideration of issues of censorship, First Amendment freedoms, and the potential conflict between law, science and public health, there is no question that consideration of the problems raised by this incident was merely postponed, not resolved. As part of my work at Gonzaga, I am proposing a 21st century legal framework that acknowledges and honors our core constitutional values, promotes scientific inquiry and the free flow of ideas to better the human condition, and protects us from unnecessary and excessive threats to public health and security.

The framework does not need to be built in a vacuum. We do have precedents, but they actually show the inadequacies of our existing law in this area. Probably the most famous case of an attempt to censor publication of scientific information was United States v. The Progressive, Inc. In that case, an amateur physicist found enough public information to figure out how a hydrogen bomb worked. He provided the story to The Progressive magazine for publication.

The editor, who apparently had some qualms about publishing the information, despite knowing a good story when he saw one, sent a copy of the article to the Department of Energy prior to publication asking for “confirmation” of its accuracy. He clearly hoped that the government would seek a court order to stop the publication. And

indeed, it did, and publication was delayed. But while the parties wangled about the proper outcome in court, the information, which was already in numerous other hands, was published elsewhere.

This experience shows the futility of using prior restraints to stop publication of information that is potentially damaging to national security or public health, and suggests that a different approach is needed. Publication of information about atomic energy was also punishable by criminal sanctions, but subsequent criminal punishment for unauthorized publication of dual-use research of concern would certainly not prevent the potential harm. In the area of medical research, the potential of criminal sanctions would also have a major chilling effect that could ultimately do more public harm than public good if the chill results in fewer advancements in medicine and public health. There was a serious question about whether speech about how to build a nuclear weapon had any social utility. It is far more likely that publication of medical research will have significant social utility, even if it also has potential for public harm.

In order to be effective and to properly balance the competing concerns involved in conducting and publishing dual-use research of concern, the framework must push the process of weighing public benefit versus potential public risk to the inception of the research, not wait for consideration of benefits and risks at the point of publication. The analysis should be made as part of the funding process, whether the funding is private or public. When it is determined that the public benefit significantly outweighs the public risk, a pre-established protocol for publication and distribution on a limited scale, which would be akin to time, place and manner restrictions on speech and publication would be attached to the funding. Such restrictions are far more likely to pass constitutional muster than a total prior restraint on publication. Scientists and researchers must be required to wrestle with the “Jurassic Park”

question before embarking on their research. They must be required to ask “Even though we could do it, should we do it? And if we do it, who should have access to the information about how to do it?” We need to adopt a model in the United States that can be followed by scientists and governments around the world, and adopted by international bodies, as scientific and medical research is global in scope.

We have been remarkably fortunate in that most scientists and researchers are people of utmost integrity, and possess a sense of great social responsibility for their work. But as we become more and more interconnected and globalized, and as information flies around the world in the time it takes to press a button, we cannot rely on individual senses of conscience and responsibility alone to protect us. The legal research we do at Gonzaga is designed to take our traditional legal constructs and use them to solve current and future problems of great human concern. In this way, we carry forward the Jesuit tradition of service to others, free intellectual inquiry and global engagement.

One hundred years ago, Gonzaga Law began classes with a faculty of five and 19 students. At the beginning of Gonzaga Law’s 100th academic year, Gonzaga continued its long-standing tradition of excellent faculty with the appointment of new Professors Kevin Michels and Jessica Kiser, the granting of tenure to Professors Brooks Holland and Upendra Acharya and the appointment of Professor Jason Gillmer to the new position of associate dean for faculty research and development.

“We are pleased to have two new faculty members with us,” stated Jane Korn, Dean of the Law School.

“Kevin Michels, our new J. Donald and Va Lena Scarpelli Curran Visiting Chair of Legal Ethics and Kevin Michels Jessica Kiser Professionalism, comes to us with experience in Business Ethics, Professional Responsibility and Ethics. Jessica Kiser, who comes to us as an Assistant Professor from Loyola New Orleans, will be teaching primarily in the area of Intellectual Property.”

The J. Donald and Va Lena Scarpelli Curran Chair in Legal Ethics and Professionalism was first endowed in 2009 by alumni Don and Va Lena Curran. The couple first met while they were attending law school at Gonzaga in 1953. In addition to teaching classes in areas such as professional responsibility and torts, Michels examines legal ethics, professionalism and liability questions in both his teaching and research. He has published in several law reviews and authored New Jersey Attorney Ethics, a work frequently cited by New Jersey courts. “It’s exciting to join Gonzaga Law in the year of its Centennial. I look forward to helping Gonzaga students see the law as a great calling,” said Michels, who was recently elected to the American Law Institute.

“I am very excited to join the vibrant community of intellectual property students, scholars and attorneys at Gonzaga’s law school and in the city of Spokane,” said professor Kiser, who comes to Gonzaga Law to continue building instructional strength in the growing areas of intellectual property law. Kiser has both practice

experience at the Transactional Intellectual Property Group in Kirkland & Ellis LLP’s New York City office and instructional experience from Loyola New Orleans College of Law. The focus of Kiser’s research is on intellectual property law as it relates to emerging technologies, international law and contractual relationships.

Along with the two new professors, Gillmer, the John J. Hemmingson Chair in Civil Liberties, has been appointed the inaugural associate dean for faculty research and development. The associate dean is charged with assisting the faculty in all aspects of their scholarly endeavors, including maintaining regular faculty colloquia, facilitating faculty mentoring and developing additional opportunities for faculty development. “The Gonzaga law faculty has been engaging in Jason Gillmer scholarship at the highest level for years. I am looking forward to showcasing their work to see how it shapes and influences important conversations among both academics and practitioners. I am also very excited to work with our younger faculty, helping them to develop into productive and contributing members of the academy,” said Gillmer.

At the beginning of the summer, two outstanding Gonzaga Law professors were granted tenure.

Acharya, who works mainly in international law, and Holland, who works mainly in criminal Upendra Acharya Brooks Holland law, were promoted to associate professor and will receive tenure in 2013. You can read more on our website.

This year marks Gonzaga Law’s Centennial year and Gonzaga University’s 125th anniversary. Celebrations for both anniversaries are scheduled throughout the year, and more information can be found by visiting www.law.gonzaga.edu/100.

Most

memorable PROFESSORS

Willard Roe

“Willard Roe. He taught evidence. And you either loved Willard or hated him, but you never ever forgot him.”

– J. Richard Manning, ’60

“My most memorable instructor was Willard Roe who taught torts. He was a controversial instructor…he had very firm opinions on what he was teaching and he was a devil’s advocate. He was always pushing a little bit. I was the only woman in the class and in a sense, he picked on me. I knew what he was doing. He was trying to make me think on my feet. He was a very fine instructor. And when I took the bar exam, I remembered torts!”

-Va Lena Curran, ’58

Father Robert Araujo, S.J. “My fondest memory at GU Law was third year right at the approach of graduation when Fr. Robert Araujo took me out for lunch on a beautiful spring day. We had a chance to talk about my experiences at the school and he gave me thoughts and advice about being the kind of attorney I wanted to be.” – Hunter Abell, ’05

Lisa Bradley “The most memorable instructor I had was Dean of Student Affairs Lisa Bradley. She was critical in my legal education in that she taught me to write and research. She prepared me for the practice of law at a very practical level. When I was done with law school I could literally hop into any legal environment and be able to research and write; really hit the ground running.”

- Javier Garcia, ’06

GONZAGA LAWYER

Smitty Myers “Certainly Smitty Myers has to be my favorite.”

– Paul Bastine, ’64

Cheryl Beckett & Gerry Hess

Jim Vaché “The person that creates the most memory for me was actually not a professor of mine. Jim Vaché was the faculty person in charge of the National Moot Court team.

I spent, along with my partners on that team, an inordinate amount of time with Jim. He opened up his home to us. He worked with us, very unselfish.

We learned a great deal from him about how to argue, how to present cases and how to think as a lawyer. I learned more from Jim in that four-or five-month period and I use the same things he taught me today.”

Cheryl Beckett and Gerry Hess are my two favorite teachers.

I had them both during my first year. They are the kind of professors that you want when you first come into law school because it’s an intimidating place to be. They made it as comfortable as they could for you. They are tremendous teachers and truly care about their students - Colleen Durkin, ’12

Joe Nappi, Sr.

- John Durkin, ’80

“The most memorable instructor I had was Joe Nappi. He taught me several courses and he brought a sense of humor to the classroom and some pressure, but not overwhelming pressure to a new student.”

– George Nethercutt, ’71

Lewis Orland “Lewis Orland. One interesting thing was that all professors were practicing attorneys.

You got not only the theory of the law, but you got the practical aspects of how to practice.

So when you left Gonzaga, you were ready to practice law.” – Tom Baker, ’61

Gary Randall “I think we’ll say this in unison – Gary Randall. Gary Randall was instrumental in the type of law we practice, where we practice, what we do, how successful we became and how much we enjoy the practice of law. He taught us intro to tax and real estate tax, corporate and partnership tax and I never was interested in tax. I took his first class and thought he was hysterical, he made tax so easy. He encouraged both of us to continue in tax. We both have master’s in tax and again he encouraged us to apply as a clerk at the U.S. Tax Court. Randy was the first clerk and I was the second.” – Bridget, ’79 & Randy Harris, ’78 The quotes on this page were taken from our Centennial video footage. Watch for further clips and alumni quotes at www.gonzaga.edu/100. The Centennial video will debut at the Gala on April 20, 2013.

The U.S. students joined Chinese students for two weeks at each of the following institutions: China Youth University for Political Science (CYUPS) in Beijing, Southwest University of Political Science and Law (SWUPL) in Chongqing, and Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) in Shanghai.

Students also took a cruise down the Yangtze River, where they saw the Three Gorges Dam and studied its environmental and sociological impact. Professor Scott J. Burnham taught comparative intellectual property Law and Technology Transfer Law during the segment in Chongqing. At all locations, students visited law firms, legal institutions, factories and cultural sites that complemented their studies.

Sixteen students from Gonzaga, along with five others from Loyola Marymount, South Dakota and Ave Maria law schools, attended the Gonzaga-in-Florence Summer Law Program, which celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

The program emphasizes international and comparative law with an emphasis on human rights. This year the faculty included Gonzaga Professors Cheryl Beckett, Jason Gillmer and Amy Kelley, as well as Judge Rick White, who also serves as an adjunct professor of law. In addition to four weeks of classes, the students took “field trips” to the Accademia and Uffizzi museums in Florence, participated in a number of group dinners and spent an afternoon and evening in Siena. Local Tuscan legal authorities were guests of the program, presenting enrichment lectures on international tort claim litigation and on the work of various European NGOs in international negotiations concerning climate change.

The Center for Law in Public Service continues to collaborate with law student groups and community organizations to promote and provide pro bono opportunities for Gonzaga law students. This fall, the Center for Law in Public Service launched a family law partnership with the Spokane Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Program. Family Law Attorney-Student Help links law student volunteers with VLP pro bono attorneys to provide much-needed family law assistance to low-income clients. In turn, FLASH students receive family law training as well as hands-on, practical experience.

Together with Gonzaga’s Law Student Alliance for Social Justice, the Center kicked off the second year of its Public Service Brown Bag and Justice Forums which bring together members of the law school and university communities for lively discussion about current social justice and public interest legal issues. Fall 2012 PBJ Forum topics included Cooperative Federalism and the Affordable Care Act; the American Bar Association’s Rule of Law Initiative in Vietnam and Cambodia; the intersection between legal and community advocacy in the media; protection against elder and domestic abuse; Truth and Reconciliation Commissions in Korea and South Africa; vicarious trauma and its impact on lawyers and clients; representing civil disobedience clients; and the role of humanitarian aid and assistance to constrain the resurgence of piracy. Members of the public, the Spokane legal community and Gonzaga’s law, graduate, and undergraduate communities are welcome to attend PBJ Forums on Mondays at noon and to enjoy complimentary peanut-butter-andjelly sandwiches.

onzaga’s Center for Law in Public Service has seen abundant growth and change throughout its inaugural year. In August, the Center for Law in Public Service welcomed Catherine Brown as its new Assistant Director, replacing Laurie Powers who is now the Director of Gonzaga’s Center for Professional Development.

The Center for Law in Public Service also administers Gonzaga Law School’s participation in the statewide Moderate Means Program. In partnership with the Washington State Bar Association and the law schools of Seattle University and the University of Washington, Gonzaga student volunteers screen, interview and refer moderate-income clients to attorneys who agree to offer reducedfee assistance. Since its inception in June 2011, more than 50 Gonzaga students fielded more than 900 requests for reduced-fee assistance, completed 570 intake interviews and referred more than

250 cases to participating attorneys. Attorneys who are members of the WSBA may sign up to participate with the Moderate Means Program at www.myWSBA.org. Prospective clients can learn more and apply for Moderate Means Program assistance at www. moderatemeanswa.org.

The Center for Law in Public Service debuted Gonzaga Law School’s Pro Bono Distinction program in May to recognize students who demonstrate a significant commitment to public service throughout law school. Students who complete a designated number of pro bono service hours in excess of the graduation requirement will receive Pro Bono Distinction recognition each year and at graduation.

Gonzaga’s Thomas More Scholars continue to lead many of the law school’s pro bono and public service initiatives, and the 201213 year is turning out to be a busy one for these students. Scholars have partnered with TeamChild to hold four free drop-in Juvenile Record Sealing Clinics during this academic year. In Washington State, most juvenile records do not disappear when someone reaches age 18. Unless sealed by the juvenile court that processed a conviction, juvenile records can interfere with a person’s job prospects, licenses, scholarships and rental housing. Thomas More Scholars began planning this important public service project last year, working with the Seattle Juvenile Record Sealing Clinic which has been in operation for around 10 years.

Scholars launched the Juvenile Record Sealing Clinic project Sept.

28 with a half-day CLE training for volunteer lawyers, as well as Gonzaga law students interested in helping others navigate the process of sealing juvenile records. The first clinic was held at the law school Sept. 29. Volunteer lawyers and law students helped four pro-se clients to create the court forms required to seal juvenile records. Thomas More Scholars anticipate being able to assist about 20 additional pro se clients in the three Saturday clinics remaining during this school year.

If you are interested in volunteering to help with this service project, you may send a message to the Thomas More student organizers at spokanejuvenilerecordsealing@gmail.com or phone them at 509.496.9491.

IN the NEWS JUDGE DEBRA HAYES RECEIVES THE MYRA BRADWELL AWARD THIRD ANNUAL GONZAGA INDIAN LAW LECTURE & PUBLIC DEFENSE IN INDIAN COUNTRY SYMPOSIUM In a first-of-its-kind symposium in the region on March 23, 2012 experts on public defense and tribal courts gathered for a discussion of Public Defense in Indian Country. In the United States, tribal courts operate under a different set of rules than non-tribal courts. The laws that govern these courts are also different, and the right to counsel is not always assured.

The evening before the symposium, Barbara Creel, associate professor of law and co-director of the Southwest Indian Law

Clinic at the University of New Mexico, spoke on criminal law issues in tribal courts. Professor Creel highlighted that for federal courts, conviction in tribal courts counts toward charge or sentence enhancements. With no right to counsel in many of these courts, this means a defendant could be facing a federal charge or federal prison time based upon convictions rendered without representation.

SMITHMOORE P. MYERS PROFESSIONALISM AWARD On March 28, 2012 the Spokane County Bar Association awarded Paul Mack, Gonzaga Law alumnus, class of 1981, the Smithmoore P. Myers Professionalism Award.

“The appeal presents cutting-edge ineffective assistance of counsel issues under recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions,” said Brooks Holland, the Gonzaga law professor supervising two students working on the case.

As a part of the hearing, third-year Gonzaga law students Cherlyn Walden and Danielle Purcell filed a friend of the court (amicus curiae) brief. Walden also presented a 10-minute oral argument during the hearing.

On April 11, Judge Debra Hayes was awarded the 2012 Myra Bradwell Award at the 20th Annual Ceremony. The Gonzaga Women’s Law Caucus presented the award to Judge Hayes with more than 100 alumni, friends and family in attendance. Jacci Aronow, friend of Judge Hayes, introduced Hayes by stating, “Debra has always been a strong advocate for women’s and children’s issues.

While in law school, she worked as a legal intern in the Domestic Violence Unit of the Spokane Prosecutor’s Office.”

9TH U.S. CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

O

As a part of the Centennial Celebration at Gonzaga University School of Law, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals visited on Oct. 3 and heard oral arguments in three cases in the Law School’s Barbieri Courtroom.

“The students were so excited to have this wonderful opportunity and the courtroom was standing room only. It is an incredible learning experience for students to be able to see oral arguments during their time here. In addition, the judges were kind enough to attend some of our classes and interact with many of our 1L students,” explained Dean Jane Korn.

In the morning, the three-judge panel of Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, Judge Paul J. Watford and Judge Morgan Christen spent time in both Professor Brooks Holland’s criminal law class and Professor Kevin Michels’ torts class. The judges discussed the role of a good litigator, how they each reached the bench and took questions from students.

At 1 p.m. the Barbieri Courtroom was packed to beyond standing room only with approximately 350 students, faculty, staff and community members. The Court of Appeals heard oral arguments for three cases.

The first case, United States v. Sin, hinged on a judicial determination of the proper protocols required for a Coast Guard-issued Breathalyzer test of a vessel captain, and posed the question whether a Breathalyzer test that had been administered in a manner inconsistent with established protocol could be used to put someone in jail, when it would not be considered sufficient to terminate someone from their job.

The second case of Slater v. Clarke addressed whether public employees working for, or with, a county prosecutor’s office in Massachusetts could be held civilly liable for decisions they made in the course of their jobs, specifically the decision to not extradite an individual from Washington to Massachusetts.

Finally, the judges heard the case of Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign v. King County which raised significant First Amendment issues. Throughout the arguments, the judges questioned if the King County Metro bus system had effectively declared itself as a “designated public forum” by allowing political ads, which carries additional First Amendment responsibilities.

GONZAGA LAWYER

ver the past 100 years Gonzaga Law has seen its fair share of legends at the school, all of whom have made a lasting mark on the overall success of the institution. One such former faculty member fits this very description, Professor and Dean Lewis H. Orland. Dean Orland’s relationship with the law school spanned more than five decades, beginning in the 1950s and lasting until his death on Feb. 14, 2012.

A native of Moscow, Idaho, Lew was born on Sept. 18, 1915. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Idaho in 1937 and then went on to receive his law degree from Harvard Law School in 1940. He began his legal career as a government lawyer in Washington, D.C.; however, world events redirected his talents. He was commissioned an officer in the United States Navy and served his country gallantly during World War II. It was even rumored that during the war he spent some time in Chile and other parts of South America where he may have been involved in covert operations.

Following the war, he pursued graduate studies at the University of Geneva and traveled extensively in Europe, all the while increasing his remarkable fluency in French, Spanish, German and Russian.

Long-time faculty member Amy Kelley remembers a fond story about Lew. “Lew worked his entire life on maintaining his language proficiency; students were often impressed, albeit somewhat frustrated, to find that many of the marginal notations he made while correcting their exams were not in English. When the days of cable TV arrived, visitors to Lew’s office would often find him tuned to a foreign language news channel – ‘to keep him up to date.’

Not that he was actually watching it; it would just be on in the background as he busily worked on whatever legal project he was attending to that day,” said Kelley.

In 1950, he returned to the Northwest, entering private practice in Spokane. That same year he joined the adjunct faculty at the Law School. By the mid-1950s, he was a full-time member of the faculty with a growing reputation for his exceptional scholarship.

A renowned scholar, Dean Orland, indeed may well be the most frequently cited authority in Washington state. For nearly 40 years, he authored or co-authored “Washington Trial Practice” “a veritable bible for practitioners” as well as “Washington Procedural Forms” and “Washington Rules Practice.” He also gave 35 years of expert service on the Supreme Court’s Washington Pattern Jury

Instructions Committee and 25 years on the Washington State Bar’s Court Rules and Procedures Committee.

While many students remember him for his sharp intellect and mastery of his challenging Socratic method of teaching, Dean Orland also endeared himself to generations of students and colleagues for his friendly manner, his personal warmth and his wonderful sense of humor. Kelley fondly remembers Lew’s generosity, “In the early 1980s, when Lew was still frequently traveling, students who participated in the National Appellate Advocacy Competition (NAAC), which was held in conjunction with the summer ABA meeting, might look up during one of their rounds and see Dean Orland in the audience. He would likely then surprise them by offering to take them out to lunch.”

Professor Larry Weiser, long-time faculty member and current director of University Legal Assistance (the Clinic) mentioned that “Dean Orland was quite aware of the financial hardships of many of our students. That is why he created this Law Scholarship fund.

Every year he challenged the entire law faculty to give generously to this fund. He didn’t stop ‘challenging’ until each professor contributed. Of course, he was the most generous contributor to this fund.”

The service of Lewis Orland to Gonzaga has gone well beyond the classroom. He served as the ninth dean of the Law School from 1968 to 1973 and as associate dean from 1975 until June 2000.

As dean, he played a central role in securing the Law School’s full accreditation by the American Bar Association and in establishing the Law School’s day division in the 1970’s In addition to his professional accomplishments, Lew was a devoted husband. He and his wife, Jackie, were married for more than 60 years.

In honor of Dean Orland’s commitment to the law school, friends and colleagues have supported the Lewis H. Orland Endowed Scholarship since 1986. In the Jesuit spirit, the scholarship is awarded annually to students who demonstrate need. Kelley noted, “Lew understood that law school was a challenging endeavor and many times, students needed extra help for unexpected emergencies, or life situations that arose on a day-to-day basis.

This scholarship represents what Lew Orland was all about.”

This endowed scholarship ensures Dean Orland’s vision of a law school that meets the personal needs of students is honored.

Gonzaga University School of Law is thankful to Lewis H. Orland for his many contributions to the law school, the legal profession and the local community. If you are interested in supporting the Lewis H. Orland Endowed Law Scholarship, please contact Jeff Geldien at jgeldien@lawschool.gonzaga.edu or 509.313.6121.

Spokane firm Paine Hamblen just named its first female managing partner in Jane Elizabeth Brown.

It’s the first time a large law firm in the Inland Northwest has elected a female managing partner and Brown joins a small group of female attorneys in the state of Washington who have achieved CEO status. In the 200 largest law firms nationally, only 6 percent have women in a managing partner role.

Equally impressive is Brown’s nontraditional rise through Paine Hamblen. Having started in 1980 as a legal assistant, she became a partner in 2001 after 21 years working her way through the firm as an attorney, including working full time while attending Gonzaga Law School. After practicing in a variety of litigation areas throughout her career including construction law, federal and state discrimination claims, and personal injury claims, she is now one of the most respected and successful family law attorneys in the region as acknowledged by her male and female colleagues.

Though modest about her success and the inspiration she poses for other women in particular, Brown is a vocal proponent of hard work and persistence in her firm and beyond.

“I never lost sight of what I was passionate about,” Brown says. “I’ve learned that whatever you want to do, as long as you do it well, there will always be a role for you.” Brown also says her role as a legal assistant before attending law school gave her unique perspective and experience that served her well as she built her practice.

Brown remains active outside of her work at Paine Hamblen, putting her love of cooking to use aboard ships for the nonprofit organization Raincoast Conservation, for which she sits on the board of directors.

Paine Hamblen is one of the leading firms serving Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, with offices in Spokane, Tri-Cities, Coeur d’Alene and Priest River, with nearly 50 attorneys. The firm eschews the traditional label of a “stuffy” environment thanks to a dynamic team closely engaged with all clients from individuals to corporations alike. Paine Hamblen is known for the sophistication and diversity of its practice and client base. While the modern Paine Hamblen was formed after a 1986 merger, the firm’s origins stretch back to three separate firms dating back to 1886, 1893 and 1949 respectively. Their rich combined history in the Pacific Northwest makes the modern incarnation of the firm deeply committed to the region.

Vern Davidson

Vern Davidson was born on Aug. 6, 1929, to Margaret and Vern Davidson in Los Angeles and passed away on July 24 in Spokane.

Vern is survived by his sister, Virginia Kiefer, as well as his nieces, nephew and cousins. Vern will be greatly missed by his family, friends and the thousands of students who passed through the doors of the University of Ghana where he was a Lecturer, the Institute of Public Administration of the University of Malawi, where he was Principal and the founding Professor of Law and most recently, Gonzaga University School of Law, until his retirement in 2004.

Following graduation from law school, Vern served as an Associate in Law at Columbia University, and the following year, through a program designed to staff African law schools, became a lecturer at the University of Ghana in Africa. In 1964 he began an exceptional decade of service to the government and people of Malawi. After serving as a lecturer in law at the University of Malawi, he founded the nation’s first law school and began a five-year tenure as its dean.

While dean, he assumed additional duties as principal of both the University’s Institute of Public Administration and the Staff Training College of the Office of the President of Malawi. Today, Malawi is an emerging democracy guided by many individuals who received their

formative training from Vern Davidson. The Chief Justice and the associate members of the Malawi Supreme Court, several cabinet ministers, and the leadership of the majority party are all his former students. His educational legacy will undoubtedly grow as future leaders are educated at the very institutions he helped found and nurture.

In 1974 he returned to the United States and began his teaching career at Gonzaga University School of Law. Over the next three decades, Vern Davidson would serve both the law school and its students with exceptional skill, energy and commitment as Professor and, for 18 years, as Associate Dean. During his tenure at Gonzaga, Professor Davidson was the recipient of both the Orland Distinguished Professor and Teacher of the Year awards, combining a demanding Socratic approach with an interesting and often entertaining classroom style. In 1995, he achieved perhaps the pinnacle of recognition at Gonzaga University School of Law, when he received The Gonzaga Law Medal. Upon his retirement from Gonzaga in 2004, Spokane Mayor James E. West proclaimed April 28, 2004, as “Vern Davidson Day.”
