Dean

The mission of Gonzaga University School of Law is “to provide an excellent legal education informed by our humanistic, Jesuit, and Catholic traditions and values.”

When I talk about this mission statement I always divide it into two parts. The first part, our promise to provide an excellent legal education, lies at the very core of why we exist. Our essential function is to turn law students into lawyers, and we do that primarily through our educational program. I am very proud of our efforts and results in this regard.

The second part of our mission statement lays bare those things that make the experience at Gonzaga Law School very different from what a student would expect to encounter elsewhere. It is our humanistic, Jesuit, and Catholic traditions and values that form the essential character of this institution and that provide a unique context in which our educational program unfolds.

In this edition of The Gonzaga Lawyer we celebrate the Jesuit nature of our program by celebrating our great tradition and current commitment to serving the public good. In our vision statement we profess that “[a]s a Jesuit institution, we are committed to educating the whole person to serve the public good, to engaging in a dialogue with all cultures and religious or ethical traditions, and to pursuing justice.” In the pages that follow we focus primarily on our work, and the work of our alumni, that advances the public interest and pursues social justice.

Evidence of this institution’s commitment to the public good is easy to find. Back in 1975, Professors Mark Wilson and Jeff Hartje had the vision to start our law clinic at a time when clinical legal education was in its infancy. They were driven in large part by a desire to do good for their indigent clients while doing well for their students’ education.

Over twenty-five years ago, Professor John Maurice conceived of our Thomas More Scholarship program as a means of providing financial support for students so they would be able to pursue careers upon graduation that would serve the public interest. A quarter century plus later, this institution has invested over $7 million in these students and they have gone on to serve their communities as prosecutors, legal aid attorneys, judges, and in many other public spirited ways.

Today, in addition to our law clinic and our Thomas More Scholars, we honor our Jesuit character by continuing to find new ways to invigorate that part of our program that connects us to the public good. One of the most recent developments in this regard is the appointment of Professor Mary Pat Treuthart as our first-ever director of Public Interest Law. Professor Treuthart, who began her career as a legal aid attorney in New Jersey, has accepted the responsibility of making sure that our many diverse efforts in this area have the maximum positive effect possible. Those who know Professor Treuthart, know that she is the perfect person to take on this challenge.

public interest Professor Mary Pat Treuthart, our new director of public interest law No one exemplifies Gonzaga’s public service culture more than Professor Mary Pat Treuthart, our new director of public interest law. She requires students in her Women and the Law class to complete fi fteen to twenty hours of service with an organization related to women or girls.

She doesn’t hold herself immune, either.

Just as all Gonzaga students perform thirty hours of public service before graduation, Treuthart’s advocacy encouraged faculty members to make thirty hours of service a year part of their community citizenship commitment.

“Gonzaga has had a longstanding commitment to public interest and public service,” she says. “The goal now is to let the students and the wider community know about what Gonzaga’s been doing.”

Treuthart sees her new role as a link between the two. She’ll fulfill an information and referral function; guide students in seeking fellowships, internships, and mentoring relationships; facilitate conversations with other like-minded organizations; foster faculty involvement; and more — all while maintaining her classroom responsibilities.

“I’ll act as a resource as much as a catalyst about twenty-fi ve percent of the time,” she says.

In the end, though, it’s even more than that.

“It’s huge,” Treuthart says. “Most other schools haven’t had that long-term uninterrupted service emphasis. Our work here reflects the larger Jesuit mission of social justice.”

SUMMATIONS student news Another Exceptional Class

By Susan Lee

On August 19th, we welcomed 182 new 1L students to Gonzaga University School of Law. The incoming class was selected from a competitive applicant pool of 1537. The entering class arrived from all over the nation, representing 30 states and 82 undergraduate institutions.

States our students represent include: New York, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Colorado. Undergraduate institutions our students attended include: University of Arizona; University of Alabama; Stanford; the United States Military Academy; and Virginia Tech. We continue to have many Washington residents, yet 60% of our incoming class is from out of state.

The median LSAT is 155, which is an increase from last year’s 154. Academically, our students have been very successful, as the cumulative median undergraduate GPA this year is a 3.41, which is a sizeable increase from last year’s 3.34.

These academic achievements make the 2008 class one of the strongest classes we’ve had at the law school.

While our national recruitment efforts have remained strong, including our targeted recruitment for underrepresented students, we saw a decline for both women and students of color this year in our class. Students in the incoming class who self-identified as ethnically diverse comprise 7%, which is a 2% decrease from last year. Women in this year’s class comprise 36%, which is a 4% decline from last year. We continue to be committed to building a diverse student body at Gonzaga University School of Law, as we know it can only be for the betterment of our learning community.

Our students have been involved in many service projects, including the Peace Corps and Teach for America, volunteering thousands of hours over the years. While at the school of law, our students will continue to have many opportunities to serve others as they grow in their legal education. The incoming class has proven themselves to be well-rounded, academically sound, and service-minded individuals, who will contribute greatly to our community at Gonzaga University School of Law. We look forward to their continued and future successes.

Lee & Hayes Scholarship Awarded The Spokane law firm of Lee & Hayes recently awarded their first IP scholarship to Patrick Walsh, a second-year student at Gonzaga School of Law. This $2,500 scholarship was established in order to assist a student with a demonstrated interest in the field of intellectual property. Patrick, who is a 2004 graduate of Gonzaga University, worked at the Boeing Company as a software engineer for three years prior to entering law school. As a first-year student, Patrick won the William Clarke Cup, a 1L appellate advocacy competition, and also received the CALI award for excellence in legal research and writing.

Lee & Hayes is a Spokane-based intellectual property firm that provides counsel to innovative global companies. The firm began as an entrepreneurial startup, with two founders — Lewis Lee and Dan Hayes — and an idea: delivering quality, customized, and efficient IP services to clients.

Today the firm employs more than thirty-five attorneys, with offices in Spokane, Seattle, and a newly opened office in Austin, Texas. The firm of Lee & Hayes specializes in patent procurement and technology transactions, and also develops and procures the highest quality computer and software patents in the nation, according to IP Law & Business magazine in its annual Patent Ranking’s list.

Lewis Lee is a graduate of Washington State University and George Washington University. Dan Hayes received his undergraduate degree from Washington State and his J.D. from Gonzaga Law School.

Student Service Project – 1L Orientation As part of Gonzaga Law School’s first-year orientation program, a volunteer group of faculty and incoming law students enjoyed an afternoon work party at the Vinegar Flats garden. The garden sits on donated property and all items grown there are either delivered to kitchen staff at St. Margaret’s Shelter or sold at local farmers’ markets. All the proceeds are donated to the shelter. St. Margaret’s is one of the programs run by Catholic Charities of Spokane, and serves as an emergency and transitional shelter for homeless women and their children. It provides housing, case management, parenting classes, and life skills training. After spending time working in the garden, the students gathered for a light meal prepared with freshly grown ingredients.

cross examination, to his closing argument. He overcame the obstacles involved in helping our client, who is now 85, frail and hearing impaired, to tell her story to the Court. He was fully prepared and the favorable outcome to Mrs. Parker is a result of his many hours of preparation. Danielle Lyons, a 2L student in the Professional Skills clinic also contributed to the trial preparation, writing the memorandum of authorities, and was present for the trial.

Second-year student, Angelle Punch, was also involved in the legislative advocacy portion of the case which involved a high pitched battle in the Washington State Legislature between tenant advocates and landlords who wanted to overturn the Court of Appeals ruling. The result was a law that we believe will assist our clients and also provide some relief to the landlords. (SHB 1865).

Alumni events Alumni Reception – Walla Walla On Wednesday, October 1 we held an alumni reception for our Walla Walla alumni at the Fort Walla Walla winery’s downtown tasting room. Everyone had a good time and an opportunity to visit with the dean and Nancy, and to catch up on news about the law school.

Women in the Law Luncheon Over seventy women attorneys attended the Women in the Law Luncheon on Friday, May 9, at the Herak Room in the McCarthey Center. Judge Mary Schroeder, of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, spoke to the attorneys about the past, present, and future of the law. Everyone enjoyed Judge Schroeder’s perspective on the legal profession, and her enlightening and often humorous stories about her long and illustrious career.

Reunion Weekend On the 15th and 16th of August, 175 GU law grads and family members gathered for their reunion weekend. It turned out to be a spectacular occasion. The weather was beautiful and everyone enjoyed greeting old friends and making new ones. Among the highlights of the weekend were the tour of local wineries, an evening boat cruise on Lake Coeur d’Alene, and an opportunity to play golf on the famous Coeur d’Alene Resort’s golf course, with the world’s only floating green.

We’re looking forward to next year’s reunion with enthusiasm; it should be a wonderful event with plenty of opportunities to get together with our special alums!

Alumni Reception – Tri-Cities It was “All Aboard!” to those who joined us at the Clover Island Hotel boat dock at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 2, 2008 for a ride on Diehl Rettig’s boat, the “Sky High,” and a cruise on the Columbia River to Jackson’s Sports Bar for our reception at 6:00 p.m.

Alumni Reception – Reno And last but in no way least, on Tuesday, October 7, 2008, we visited with our Reno alums at the law firm of Holland & Hart in Reno, Nevada. We had a reception graciously hosted

by Jim Newton; the weather was beautiful, and it was a lovely evening and a perfect way to cap an extremely productive and enjoyable road trip for the dean and alumni relations director.

We look forward to seeing more of our alumni as we go back out on the road in the near future.

Aside from her interest in all things legal, Kristina was a friend and confidant to many. She was always ready to raise a toast to her friends on their successes, and was a shoulder to lean on in the tough times.

Even during her struggle with cancer, she was eager to know about the events in her friends’ lives and the happenings of the law school. She never forgot her goals of finishing law school and becoming a lawyer.

Kristina L. Glover

May 29, 1977 – February 24, 2008

This past February 2008, the Gonzaga Law School community suffered a great loss at the death of Kristina Glover, a member of the Class of 2008. Kristina died of complications from ovarian cancer.

She was 31 years old.

The community of Gonzaga School of Law championed Kristina during her battle, raising funds for her family and for ovarian cancer research. At a memorial service held by the school, a tree was planted in her honor in the courtyard. She was awarded an honorary diploma at graduation, as the class of 2008 gave her a standing ovation. Kristina will be missed by many.

Kristina moved from Arizona to attend Gonzaga Law School, and she thoroughly enjoyed the Inland Northwest. She loved boating on Lake Coeur d’Alene, running on the trails throughout Spokane, and perusing the shops of downtown Spokane. At law school, she was an active participant in the classroom, as well as outside it. She was a member of the Moot Court Honors Council, president of the International Law Caucus, and she traveled with her classmates to Florence, Italy on the Gonzaga Law Study Abroad program.
