LETTER FROM THE DEAN America’s earliest female lawyers faced daunting obstacles entering the legal profession. In their consideration of Miss Lavinia Goodell’s 1875 application to practice law, the Wisconsin Supreme Court reasoned that “Nature has tempered woman as little for the juridical conflicts of the court room as for the physical conflicts of the battle field. Womanhood is molded for gentler and better things.” Fortunately, KU Law opened its doors in 1878 with a more enlightened admissions policy, friendly to all qualified applicants regardless of gender or ethnicity. We’re proud that our founders were on the right side of history more than 50 years before Columbia Law School and nearly 75 years before Harvard Law School. KU’s welcoming posture lured Ella Weiss Brown from Ohio to Mount Oread, where she completed a two-year course of study in one year and became the first woman to graduate from KU Law in 1891. She practiced and taught law while advancing the cause of women’s suffrage. The Chronicle Monthly Magazine reported that Brown “has done and is doing what she can to better the world and humanity.” Her pioneering spirit lives on in the KU Law alumnae who follow in her footsteps. In this issue alone we feature the first woman and the first African-American on the U.S. District Court in Kansas. The first Latina on the U.S. District Court in Arizona. The leader of the largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the country. The chief defense counsel for the Office of Military Commissions representing Guantanamo Bay detainees. An international public health consultant responsible for training volunteers who dispense life-saving vaccines around the world. Fierce defense attorneys who champion underdogs and help exonerate innocent clients. The winner of a MacArthur “genius grant.” And up-and-comers whose early careers forecast promising futures in advocacy, service and leadership. Thank you for helping us continue to provide an affordable legal education to the next generation of women in law. Your generosity has helped us surpass our $20 million fundraising goal in the Far Above campaign by more than $2.5 million, and we’re still going strong through June 2016. Roughly half of your contributions have created new scholarships or strengthened existing ones. We break down the numbers and recognize donors in the report that begins on page 36. To go far above, we must go together. Your collective professional successes, gifts of time and treasure, and willingness to mentor and provide jobs for recent graduates increase the value of your KU Law degree. I like to think Ella Weiss Brown would be proud of her alma mater.

On the green KU Law welcomes strong Class of 2017

Traveling 'On-Campus' Interview program bears fruit for KU students in Dallas market Seven KU Law students spent two days interviewing and networking in Dallas in August through the law school’s new Traveling “On-Campus” Interview Program. The Career Services Office initiative allows students to interview with employers in select cities and have all of their expenses underwritten by the law school. The experience allows the students to compete with peers attending law schools in key markets across the U.S. as part of the fall On-Campus Interview process. “We basically create a portable KU Law, making it as easy and costeffective for employers to interview our students as going to their local law schools while giving our students the opportunity to interview in-person with the decision makers,” said Arturo Thompson, assistant dean of career services, who accompanied the students in Dallas. “As we expand the program to new cities, it will place our students on a level playing field with schools in Texas,

“We basically create a portable KU Law, making it as easy and cost-effective for employers to interview our students as going to their local law schools.” — Asst. Dean Arturo Thompson Utah and the Washington, D.C., region.” Two job offers resulted from the trip to Dallas, and another participant accepted a position in Houston that emerged as a part of the outreach supporting the program. Firms, agencies and other potential employers in Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City and Washington, D.C., who are interested in participating should contact Arturo Thompson at arturot@ku.edu for more information.

The Class of 2017 arrived at Green Hall this summer and fall with impressive academic credentials, diverse backgrounds, and admirable records of service and experience. As of Oct. 5, the class included 125 students, 55 percent of whom are Kansas residents. The remaining 45 percent join KU from 25 other states. Five students boasted an undergraduate GPA of 4.0 or above. Seven students have served in the U.S. military, including tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. One student overcame homelessness to graduate from college; another speaks six languages; and a third helped build an orphanage in Kenya. Class members studied at 63 different colleges and universities, including 35 students from KU, eight from Kansas State University, and others from schools as diverse as Dartmouth, West Point, Penn State and Pepperdine. KU Law had one of its largest classes ever from Fort Hays State University, with five students enrolling from the western Kansas school. “You should understand that there’s more to being a lawyer than collecting a big salary,” Dean Stephen Mazza told the students in his welcome remarks. “Lawyers are the guardians of the rule of law in this country. We protect individual rights and liberties.” Seven first-year students joined the ranks of the KU Law Student Ambassadors. Learn about them on our website:

KU ranked 18th among 'Best Value' schools KU Law is the No. 18 “Best Value” law school in the nation, according to preLaw and National Jurist magazines. The ranking highlights affordable law schools whose graduates perform exceptionally well on the bar exam and have had real success finding legal jobs. National Jurist ranked the top 20 schools and assigned a letter grade to the other 33 honorees. “We are proud of this ranking because it reflects our broader definition of value — one that goes beyond our affordable tuition to consider how well our graduates are prepared to excel in their careers,” said Stephen Mazza, dean of the law school. KU was one of only four schools on the “Best Value” list to also appear in the top 25 percent of law schools whose 2013 graduates were hired by the nation’s largest law firms, according to a ranking published in February by the National Law Journal. “Employers know that a KU Law degree is synonymous with in-depth training and a strong work ethic,” Mazza

“Employers know that a KU Law degree is synonymous with in-depth training and a strong work ethic.” — Dean Stephen Mazza said. “We also have reduced our class size to better reflect job opportunities in a recovering legal market and launched innovative career placement programs that we hope will only improve our students’ employment success.” National Jurist gives employment success the greatest weight in the “Best Value” rankings. The magazine also looks at a number of other academic and financial variables, including price of tuition, student debt accumulation, bar passage rate and cost of living.

Symposium explores legal elements of human migration Scholars in international, immigration and human rights law explored the legal complexities surrounding human migration at the 2014 Kansas Law Review Symposium, “Statelessness and Belonging: Perspectives on Human Migration.” Speakers from across the country discussed topics such as: refugee and asylum adjudication; ethics and values in the U.S. immigration system; citizenship and global public health crises, including Ebola; children awaiting adjudication at the U.S. border; human rights and allocation of vital resources to indigenous peoples; home state’s sovereignty over undocumented immigrants abroad; and individuals, corporations and the properties of citizenship.

“There are an estimated 4,000 ‘citizens of nowhere’ in the United States today. A much higher number of people possess a formal nationality but live a similar experience to that of stateless persons: discrimination, loss of legal rights and lack of access to basic resources. Their marginalization touches many of the human rights crises of our time, domestically and internationally,” said Tamara Combs, symposium editor and third-year KU Law student. “This is a broad and timely issue to explore as the nation continues to talk about possible reforms to the current immigration system.” Scholarship associated with the symposium will be published in a spring 2015 issue of the Kansas Law Review.

women in the law From pioneers to up-and-comers, KU Law alumnae are changing the face of the legal profession AS A YOUNG ATTORNEY, JUDGE Kathryn Vratil remembers taking the service elevator in the kitchen of a private men’s club to attend bar luncheons with her male colleagues. “The idea that I might become a federal judge was too far-fetched to warrant serious consideration,” she said. Nevertheless, Vratil became the first woman on the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas in 1992, having first achieved partnership at a major Kansas City law firm. She broke glass ceilings for KU Law alumnae who proceeded her – just as female graduates before her had blazed trails that made her successes possible. There was Ella Weiss Brown, the first woman to graduate from KU Law in 1891. She became the city attorney in Holton, Kansas, where she also opened the law firm of Brown & Brown with her husband. Later came Constance Achterberg, a 1953 alumna who

hung a shingle in Salina, Kansas, long before any male attorneys would go into practice with her. Kristina Engstrom followed in 1974, leveraging her law degree to forge an international public health consulting career in the absence of female role models in the field. The success stories exploded in the 1970s, when women flooded KU and law schools across the nation in unprecedented numbers. “The female graduates of the ’70s were pioneers in every sense of the word,” said Professor Martin Dickinson, who served as dean from 1971 to 1980. “Their hard work and achievements assured that later graduates would not face the same obstacles.” Women lawyers still lag behind men in salaries, leadership positions and other measures of success. Acknowledging that work remains, we highlight a handful of KU Law alumnae whose accomplishments show how far we’ve come.

KU LAW MAGAZINE 7

Constance Achterberg, L’53 Trailblazing alumna paves way for spike in women attorneys CONSTANCE ACHTERBERG graduated from KU Law at a time when legal employers asked female job candidates about their typing skills with little interest in their ability to litigate a case or negotiate a deal. So she became a trailblazer. Nearly two decades before any other woman practiced law in Salina, Kansas, Achterberg hung a shingle and built her business primarily through contacts with women she met in the local chapter of the American Association of University Women. “There were a lot of women then from western Kansas who came from relatively wealthy families who owned farm land,” said Achterberg, who opened her Salina law office in 1959. “They came to me with their work, and later I handled their estates. That helped me survive.” A Lincoln, Kansas, native who studied political science at Northwestern University, Achterberg veered toward law school after watching her father negotiate pipeline contracts for Northern Natural Gas. She was one of three women in the class that entered KU Law in 1950, and she remembers law school fondly. “Everything about it was wonderful,” she said. “I loved the school. I loved the people. It was just kind of a golden September.” But the legal job market was not as welcoming. After initially struggling to find employment, a friend helped Achterberg secure a position with the Kansas Highway Commission the same year that President Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act. “Overnight, they were flooded

with cases. They finally decided that I could be a regular lawyer and go out on the road,” Achterberg said. She traveled the state litigating cases, mostly property value disputes — all the while gaining skills and confidence. Although she loved the work, she wanted to try private practice. Achterberg approached established attorneys in Salina about a partnership, but none were ready to practice alongside a woman. Undeterred, she opened her own office. “I didn’t know any better,” she said. “I just did it.” Now 84 years old, Achterberg is a respected Salina institution who served as Saline County Counselor for 15 years and has been active in the Saline/Ottawa Bar Association, the Kansas Bar Association and the Kansas Bar Foundation. In her 40s, Achterberg married Salina attorney C.L. Clark and took up fly-fishing. The shared hobby led the couple across the United States and around the world, including adventures to picturesque rivers and lakes in Yugoslavia and New

Zealand. Although Clark died in 2004, Achterberg continues an annual trout-fishing trip to Montana. Back home in Salina, she still goes to the office each day. She finds it gratifying that so many women are following in her footsteps and establishing successful legal careers. In 1995, she gave a speech at the annual meeting of the Kansas Women Attorneys Association and was astonished to look out at the sea of female faces. “It’s been quite a transformation — and a source of great pride to me — that by accident of time and space I was able to see this transformation and the special contributions of brilliant, energetic, young lawyers to the profession and to the communities in which they live,” Achterberg recalled a year later while accepting KU Law’s Distinguished Alumni Award. “For me personally their contributions have added another dimension. I notice when someone asks me what I do, I no longer say I am a woman lawyer. I simply say I am a lawyer.” —Mindie Paget

Kristina Engstrom, L’74 International public health consultant carves her own niche BY THE TIME KRISTINA ENGSTROM arrived at KU Law, she had taught English in the Philippines and helped eradicate smallpox in Afghanistan. After finishing her history degree at Boston University, Engstrom set off on a cross-country trip, landing in Taos, New Mexico. President Kennedy was encouraging young people to devote two years to international service in the Peace Corps, a prospect that intrigued the young graduate. Months later, Engstrom left for the Philippines, ready for an adventure and a challenge. She got both. After her service, Engstrom managed training programs and negotiated contracts at Peace Corps headquarters in Washington, D.C. She trained a group of women volunteers for a smallpox vaccination program in Afghanistan, which was carried out in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Afghan Ministry of Health. “The challenges for volunteers were physical and psychological,” Engstrom said. “Most Afghans in rural areas didn’t know about preventive medicine. They were wary of government involvement in their lives. Volunteers had to be both persuasive and patient.” The

experience of this team of vaccinators was chronicled in the documentary, “Once in Afghanistan.” Engstrom stayed in Afghanistan for the next year and a half. She established Peace Corps’ first incountry volunteer training center, then found herself at another turning point. “I needed a job and thought I should have an advanced degree,” Engstrom said. She settled on law. “I thought it would be a good degree and would impress people, which it has. I also thought it would increase my critical thinking skills.” Engstrom was accepted to KU Law, which took some adjustment after her stint overseas. “By this time I was in my mid-30s, and most of my classmates were 10 years younger,” Engstrom said. “I had a lot of work experience, and most of them had come straight from college. I had been teaching people for a number of years, but law school education was different. It wasn’t practice-oriented.” With her law degree in hand, Engstrom passed the Massachusetts bar and set out as an independent consultant. She designed programs and developed instructional materials

for nongovernmental organizations in Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia. Her clients ranged from Save the Children to UNICEF and WHO. During her career, Engstrom has seen women’s roles in the workplace and public policy arena evolve. “Young women today can look at Mrs. Clinton and heads of auto companies and say, ‘Wow, I can do that,’” Engstrom said. “That wasn’t true for my generation.” Nearly 50 years after she set out for Afghanistan, Engstrom thinks the principles of a successful vaccination program — education, science, logistics and perseverance — still apply to today’s public health challenges. And the skills she learned in law school remain invaluable. “I think it helped me be better as a problem solver,” Engstrom said of her time at KU Law. “I find myself even now saying, ‘Well, let’s look at both sides. Let’s figure out a way to solve this problem, to be able to compromise.’ Law school helped me be more articulate about positions, about looking at issues in a critical way.” —Emily Sharp

Marie Woodbury, L’79 Alumna builds career at intersection of science, medicine and law

“I saw how energetic the women at KU Law were, how vibrant and engaged and articulate. I was captivated by them and the things they were doing.”

10 KU LAW MAGAZINE

MARIE WOODBURY ALWAYS HAD A passion for science. “I really wanted to go to med school,” she said. “But I’d never met a woman who was a doctor. I didn’t have any mentors. So I moved to liberal arts.” Woodbury graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in international affairs, then relocated to Kansas, where she got to know the KU Law community. “I saw how energetic the women at KU Law were, how vibrant and engaged and articulate,” Woodbury said. “I was captivated by them and the things they were doing.” Inspired, she decided to enroll in law school too. Woodbury has since settled into a 33-year career with Kansas City firm Shook, Hardy & Bacon, where her work has centered on mass torts litigation in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. “I had the opportunity to combine my interest in science and medicine with the law,” Woodbury said. “It seemed too good to be true.” Her practice takes her across the country. “I’ve had cases in almost every state, been in federal jurisdictions from coast to coast, had appeals in federal circuits and state supreme courts. My clients are national and international.” Her work may be big in scope, but it hits close to home. “One of the cases I worked on as a young lawyer involved DPT vaccine,” Woodbury said. “I had small children at the time. The lawsuits claimed these vaccines caused encephalopathy, brain damage, seizure disorders. It was a personal issue for me. I had to decide what I was going to do about my kids—was I going to vaccinate them?” Woodbury’s work gives her the opportunity to consult with physicians, learn about medical products, study plaintiffs’ disease

conditions and determine the link between product and disease, if any. “I’m persuaded by science, not by what I hear on TV or read in a magazine,” Woodbury said. “I’m a big advocate of vaccines. All my kids were vaccinated consistent with the requirements when they were born. We have a remarkable lifestyle in this country, in part because of the success of vaccination programs.” Supporting women throughout their legal careers is also an issue Woodbury has taken to heart. “I thought over time there would be more and more women lawyers practicing and in leadership positions,” she said. “While I have seen more, it hasn’t been as much change as I thought there would be.” Woodbury helped launch Shook’s Women’s Management Council, ensuring that her firm actively recruits, mentors and retains women attorneys. She is an active member of community groups that support and promote women’s leadership at local companies. One of her favorite initiatives is helping to train the next generation of lawyers through her involvement with KU Law’s Deposition Skills Workshop. “After three days of trying and learning from their peers and watching some demonstrations, it’s remarkable how much better they’ve gotten, how much more confident they feel,” Woodbury said. “I’m a big proponent of this program.” — Emily Sharp

Janet + Mary Murguia, L’85 Success runs in family for twins realizing parents’ American Dream JANET AND MARY MURGUIA’S parents believed in the power of education and the promise of the American Dream. Their children are evidence of that dream realized. “My education at the University of Kansas School of Law has been powerful,” said Judge Mary Murguia, a 1985 graduate who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, with chambers in Phoenix. “It’s remarkable that this young Mexican-American girl from a Latino neighborhood in Kansas City, Kansas, can preside over cases on the Ninth Circuit. It’s a credit to my parents and a credit to this institution.” Mary’s twin sister, Janet, serves as president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza, the largest Hispanic civil rights organization in the country. She has twice been selected as one of Washingtonian magazine’s “100 Most Powerful Women in Washington.” “For our parents, education wasn’t just a goal. It was a value. They didn’t know exactly how to help us with our homework, but they always cleared the kitchen table for us and made sure we had good lighting and enough time,” said Janet, L’85. “They taught us that we could be anything we wanted to be.” HUMBLE UPBRINGING Alfred and Amalia Murguia came to the United States from Mexico and raised their seven children in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Kansas City, Kansas. Speaking little English and lacking high school diplomas, Alfred labored as a steel worker and Amalia stayed home to care for the couple’s children and others in the community. The Murguia children learned to value hard work and strong family bonds.

Judge Mary Murguia, left, and her twin sister, Janet, deliver the 2010 Emily Taylor and Marilyn Stokstad Womens Leadership Lecture at KU. (Chuck France/KU Marketing Communications) They also learned to seize opportunities. Having five children in college at once would not have been possible on her father’s income, Mary noted, without the wizardry of KU’s financial aid office. The Murguia siblings applied for scholarships and grants, and took work study jobs to pay their way through school. When Janet and Mary thought they should enter the workforce after earning degrees in journalism and Spanish, KU Law Admissions Director Lilian Six convinced them that law school would pave the path to their futures. So they followed in the footsteps of their older brother, Carlos Murguia, who graduated from KU Law in 1982 and went on to become the first Latino judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas in 1999. When Mary was appointed to the same position in

Alumnae on the federal bench CHIEF JUDGE MARY BECK BRISCOE, L’73 | U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit Mary Beck Briscoe has climbed the ranks of public service law, working for the Interstate Commerce Commission, as assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Kansas and as a judge and chief judge for the Kansas Court of Appeals. President Clinton nominated her to the 10th Circuit in 1995, and she has served as chief judge since 2010. “I did not ‘pursue’ this career, it was more of an evolution. KU Law introduced me to the law and taught me how to approach and analyze legal issues. And, as with all who are in the legal profession, I am still learning.” JUDGE JULIE A. ROBINSON, L’81 U.S. District Court, District of Kansas A fourth-generation Kansan, Robinson clerked for Chief Bankruptcy Judge Benjamin E. Franklin, then served as an assistant U.S. attorney for 11 years and a U.S. bankruptcy judge for seven years. In 2001, President Bush appointed Robinson to the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas, making her the first African-American named to the post. Robinson is chair of the Court

the District of Arizona a year later, they made history twice more: Mary became the first Latina federal judge in Arizona, and she and Carlos became the first brother-sister duo in the country to serve as federal judges. A fourth sibling, Ramon, is a prominent Kansas City attorney with a Harvard law degree. CLEARING THE WAY “I don’t focus on obstacles much. I focus on my goals,” Janet said. “I’m heading up the largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the country. It’s my job now to make sure there are as few obstacles as possible for everyone who wants to achieve the American Dream, including those in the Latino community.” Janet began her career in Washington, D.C., as legislative counsel to former Kansas Congressman Jim Slattery. She worked at the White House from 1994 to 2000, ultimately serving as deputy assistant to President Clinton. In 2001, she joined the University of Kansas as executive vice chancellor for university relations, where she oversaw KU’s public and governmental affairs until assuming the top leadership role at La Raza in 2005. Now approaching 10 years at the helm of La Raza, she is proud of strengthening ties with affiliates and community-based organizations that serve Hispanic and Latino families; spearheading coalition-based advocacy with partners in the African American, Native American, Asian Pacific and LGBTQ communities; and increasing civic engagement by registering 500,000 new Hispanic voters. “I’ve always believed that public service is important. But you don’t have to be in the West Wing of the White House to make a difference,” Janet said. “You can make a difference just by being an engaged citizen.” CAREER PINNACLE Mary began her career closer to home as an assistant district attorney in Wyandotte County, Kansas, where she prosecuted crimes against women and children. She credits Professor Dennis Prater with awakening her zeal for the courtroom in her trial advocacy courses. “He introduced me to the courtroom, to litigation, and inspired me to be a trial attorney,” she said. “I took his course, I knew I wanted to be in the courtroom, and I’ve basically never left.” She went on to become an assistant U.S. attorney in the District of Arizona before moving to the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. She served as director of the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys until President Clinton tapped her for the federal judiciary in 2000. Although she presided over a number of high-profile trials on the district court, her most memorable was U.S. v. Mitchell, the first federal death penalty case brought in Arizona since the reinstatement of the Federal Death Penalty Act. “I had to impose a sentence of death,” Mary said. “Anytime you sentence anybody, it’s a very serious and deliberate matter. When it comes to the death penalty, it’s just truly extraordinary.” Despite the challenges, she has enjoyed each of her jobs and considers it an incredible privilege to serve as a judge — a position she never imagined possible. “There weren’t a lot of role models for women or people of color in the judiciary back in Kansas,” Mary said. “This is probably the pinnacle for me, being a federal judge in a system that I really believe in and have a great deal of passion for in terms of justice being served.” — Mindie Paget

Administration and Case Management Committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States. “I love the daily challenge of managing the diversity of cases I draw as a federal trial judge, the opportunity to decide difficult and unique issues, the exposure to litigants, attorneys, jurors and witnesses from all walks of life, and the fulfillment of participating in the resolution of disputes and the appropriate disposition of issues, matters and cases.”

Col. Karen Mayberry, L’86 Military lawyer climbs ranks from JAG officer to chief defense counsel for Gitmo detainees EVERY RUNG ON U.S. AIR FORCE Col. Karen Mayberry’s career ladder has prepared her for the job she holds today, yet her responsibilities are unprecedented. As chief defense counsel for the Office of Military Commissions in Washington, D.C., Mayberry oversees the criminal defense of Guantanamo Bay detainees accused of committing terrorist acts against the United States. She is responsible for ensuring that the death penalty defense teams under her supervision have the resources necessary to represent the five men charged with crimes related to the 9/11 attacks and another charged in the U.S.S. Cole bombing. “It’s frustrating and rewarding at the same time, and certainly unlike anything I have ever done,” said Mayberry, L’86. “Every day is kind of building this whole enterprise from scratch. And these cases are on the world stage. Every maneuver, every filing – everything is being analyzed and criticized.”

“These cases are on the world stage. Every maneuver, every filing — everything is being analyzed and criticized.” Indeed, Mayberry made international headlines last year when she testified about a security breach on the government computer network that resulted in thousands of private defense emails being shared with the prosecution and entire files disappearing from defense team drives. “That really slowed us down because we lost confidence in our ability to maintain attorney-client privilege. We stopped putting information on the server,” Mayberry said. “As a result of that very painful process, the Department of Defense

SENIOR JUDGE KATHRYN H. VRATIL, L’75 | U.S. District Court, District of Kansas Judge Vratil is the 23rd judge and the first woman named to the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. She served as law clerk to Judge Earl O’Connor from 1975-78 and spent 14 years in private practice with Lathrop & Norquist, where she held a partnership and specialized in commercial and business litigation. She also served as municipal judge in Prairie Village, Kansas. She was the district’s chief judge from January 2008 to April 2014. “Back then, it was common for bar organizations to meet in private men’s clubs – as a lawyer, I remember having to take the service elevator in the kitchen of the University Club to attend bar luncheons. The idea that I might become a federal judge was too far-fetched to warrant serious consideration.” Read Judge Vratil’s account of her journey to the bench: law.ku.edu/vratil-story

just awarded the contract for our independent network in September.” That year-long technological quagmire is characteristic of the complex and protracted process of bringing the Gitmo defendants to trial. Mayberry’s rise to the rank of colonel with top secret clearance has been less glacial. After living in Johnson County as a child, Mayberry returned to Kansas from New Jersey for law school because she “liked the idea of being a lawyer, of advocating for a cause.” She flourished in the school’s Kansas Appellate Practice Clinic and represented indigent felons at the Appellate Defender’s Office for two years after graduation. The promise of immediate courtroom experience lured her to the JAG Corps in 1990. Since then, Mayberry has served in a dizzying variety of legal roles that have taken her to Air Force bases across the United States, to Germany, on deployments in Bosnia and Turkey, and straight into the heart of the Department of Defense at the Pentagon. She has been a prosecutor, a defense attorney, an executive officer and a trusted advisor to 4-star generals. Her proudest memories as a military attorney date back to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when she and her legal team — also victims of the disaster — adjudicated and paid more than 800 personal property claims for military members and families stationed at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi. “Many of the people in my office lost their homes,” Mayberry said. “We still came to work every day and put our clients’ interests first — and got a tremendous sense of satisfaction doing it.” Mayberry has been pleasantly surprised to see the U.S. military awarding more women with three and four stars in recent years. She has never considered her gender an impediment in her military career and praises the breadth of experiences that KU Law and the U.S. Air Force have provided. “The kinds of classes that I had and the opportunity to interact with faculty as a law student prepared me for the diversity of practice and opportunities that a lawyer coming into the military can have,” she said. “It’s not lost on me that I’m a colonel, but I’d like to think that doesn’t define me. It just gives me more opportunities that I wouldn’t have had.” — Mindie Paget

Cheryl Pilate, L’90 + Melanie Morgan, L’93 Defense attorneys ‘give life and breath to the Constitution’ A FRAME IN THE MAIN HALLWAY AT MORGAN Pilate LLC displays a sheet of plain white paper with 59 typed words that stop Cheryl Pilate in her tracks several times a day. It’s an order from the U.S. Supreme Court halting the execution of Missouri death-row inmate Russell Bucklew pending an 8th Circuit appeal. “That’s such a rarity,” said Pilate, L’90. “In your whole career you might never get anything like that. I’m just astonished at the amazing challenges that we have had the opportunity to take on.” Tough cases define the work of Pilate and her law partner, Melanie Morgan, L’93. Their distaste for injustice draws them into battles that other litigators might consider unwinnable. But they prevail because they are meticulous in their investigations and passionate about their clients. “The people who come to us are typically at a really low place in their lives,” Morgan said. “Sometimes they are facing really significant consequences in terms of loss of liberty, family or employment – all of the things that define who they are as individuals. So we feel a very significant responsibility to help them maneuver through the legal system.” That can be a complex undertaking. Morgan

represented 82-year-old Burundian immigrant Lazare Kobagaya, accused by the U.S. government of participating in Rwanda’s 1994 genocide and then lying on immigration forms about where he was during the atrocities. Working the case almost exclusively for two years, Morgan traveled twice to Africa to depose witnesses scattered widely in refugee camps. A judge dismissed all charges against Kobagaya after a five-week trial in 2011, and Morgan became the first female recipient of the Kansas Bar Association’s Courageous Attorney Award for her advocacy in the case. “It presented a number of factual and legal challenges that really had never been addressed in a U.S. court before,” she said. “It was probably the case of a lifetime for me.” A high point in Pilate’s career came in 2010 with an $833,250 judgment in favor of Barron Bowling. The cement worker suffered permanent brain damage when a Drug Enforcement Administration agent beat him after their cars collided on a narrow street in Kansas City, Kansas. “I’ve always been attracted – and I think this is true for Melanie, too – to representing somebody who looks like they’re not getting a fair shake,” Pilate said.

DEFENDERS FROM THE START Morgan and Pilate both cut their teeth with Professor David Gottlieb in KU’s Defender Project (now the Project for Innocence and PostConviction Remedies), representing prisoners in appellate and postconviction litigation in state and federal courts. Morgan remembers working on one appeal where the trial attorney failed to interview key witnesses who might have helped prove the client’s innocence. “It made me sick to my stomach,” she said. “It made me fully appreciate that there were lawyers out there who did not take seriously their responsibility of being entrusted with another human being’s life.” After graduation, Morgan joined the Law Office of Joseph D. Johnson in Topeka, where she handled murder, rape and other criminal cases. She later opened a solo practice in Olathe. Pilate practiced criminal law at Wyrsch Hobbs & Mirakian PC in Kansas City, Missouri, where, just four years out of law school, she took her first innocence case. She eventually won the release of Ellen Reasonover and a $7.5 million settlement to compensate her client for spending 16 years in prison for a murder she didn’t commit. Since then, Pilate has been responsible for the exonerations of three more innocent clients. She also won a significant settlement for Dennis Fritz and Ron Williamson, who spent more than a decade wrongfully incarcerated in Oklahoma for a 1982 sexual assault and murder. Her work on their civil case was featured in John Grisham’s first nonfiction book, “The Innocent Man.” ‘YOU’VE CROSSED THE LINE’ Morgan and Pilate met by chance at a 2006 luncheon for attorneys assigned to indigent clients. Less than a year later, they combined their practices and launched a firm in Olathe. In 2012, they bought and renovated an old brick building just blocks from

the federal courthouse in downtown Kansas City and transplanted Morgan Pilate to Missouri. “If one thing really distinguishes us from any other firm, I feel like passion bubbles through this place every day,” Pilate said. “Someone is always excited about something they’re working on and is running down the hall to talk to someone else and get an idea or share something interesting or case-changing.” One case that gets them both charged up these days involves the “SWAT-style” raid by heavily armed sheriff’s deputies of Robert and Adlynn Harte’s Leawood home in 2012. Authorities claimed the Hartes were growing marijuana after seeing Robert leave a store that sold hydroponic gardening equipment and finding loose tea leaves in the couple’s household trash, Pilate said. The Hartes’ two young children were home at the time of the raid, which turned up nothing but wilted vegetable plants. “If this can happen to them, then every single person needs to be afraid,” Morgan said. “We all have this idea that the police don’t get it wrong, that they’re just doing their job. And if they’re just doing their job, then it’s OK that Mr. Harte was on the floor in his underwear at gunpoint for two hours in his own home. That’s never OK.” Their federal lawsuit in the case is emblematic of the work Morgan and Pilate do each day to “give life and breath to the Constitution.” “That may sound a bit idealistic, but we feel it deeply,” Pilate said. “Unless we litigate and say, ‘You’ve crossed the line,’ then where the line is becomes increasingly difficult to see. And before you know it, there will be no line.” — Mindie Paget

Sarah Deer, L’95 Alumna receives ‘genius grant’ for efforts to curb violence against Native women SARAH DEER HAS BEEN INTERESTED in women’s issues since she was 6 or 7 years old, when she learned that women didn’t have the right to vote in the United States until 1920. “Somehow as a young girl I just couldn’t get my mind wrapped around that,” she said. “I think that sparked the passion that became my career.” It wasn’t until she arrived at KU Law, though, that she made the connection between federal Indian law and a history of injustices against Native women. “Taking Federal Indian Law with Rob Porter the fall of my second year was a pivotal point in my career,” she said. “I suddenly realized, ‘This is my calling.’ Right there in one of the small KU Law seminar rooms, things changed for me.” Her relentless pursuit since then to protect Native women from gender violence recently earned her a 2014 MacArthur Fellowship. Often called

“genius grants,” the fellowships are awarded to individuals who exhibit exceptional creativity, promise for important future advances based on a track record of significant accomplishment, and potential for the fellowship to facilitate subsequent creative work. Deer was among 21 individuals in the 2014 class of MacArthur Fellows who will receive a no-strings-attached stipend of $625,000 over five years. “The MacArthur Fellowship will change my life in a number of ways, but more importantly it will allow me to do more focused work on the passion that I have for justice for Native women,” Deer said in a video interview with the MacArthur Foundation. A professor at the William Mitchell College of Law and a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma, Deer has documented in her scholarship a history of inadequate protection

Up-and-coming Young graduates achieving success early in their careers

LEITA WALKER, L’06 Associate, Faegre Baker Daniels, Minneapolis, MN

LAURA DAKHIL MONAHAN, L’07 Chief Legal Officer, Cancer Center of Kansas, Wichita, KS

A member of her firm’s Intellectual Property Group, Walker splits her practice between dispute resolution and client counseling, focusing on media, advertising and privacy law. She routinely reviews and writes terms of use and privacy policies for the websites of major corporations, works with editors and reporters to reduce litigation risks arising from stories they wish to publish, and counsels major corporations on proposed advertising copy and its compliance with rules of the FTC and industry guidelines. In a highly publicized 2014 trial, Walker defended the estate of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle against a defamation claim brought by exMinnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura. Her corporate clients include Target, Land O’Lakes, Cargill, The Star Tribune, CNN and CBS. Prior to law school, Walker interned at the Christian Science Monitor and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and worked at the Lawrence Journal-World. “I really enjoy my practice, which allows me to not only use my journalism background in representing traditional media clients but also to work on cuttingedge privacy- and advertisingrelated issues for a wide variety of companies.”

Monahan transitioned from private practice to in-house counsel in early 2014 when she became chief legal officer at the Cancer Center of Kansas, an oncology and hematology practice with 22 locations in Kansas dedicated to providing the most advanced cancer care available in an atmosphere of caring compassion. She previously practiced law as part of the Hinkle Law Firm’s Business Law and Health Care groups, representing physicians, individuals and businesses in a variety of industries and transactions. She was honored as a part of the Wichita Business Journal’s “40 under 40” Class of 2013 and serves on the boards of the American Heart Association and the Wichita Cancer Foundation. “I’m not only enjoying the work I’m doing now, I’m inspired by the cause. My time in private practice was invaluable and I had a deep passion for assisting my clients, but there is something very unique, gratifying and even inspiring about my position at the Cancer Center of Kansas. I am able to apply my skills and experience as an attorney to directly and greatly impact a place caring for thousands of patients across the state of Kansas.”

In the news FACULTY EXPERTS “I’m sure it will spur controversy in the U.S. from folks who think that U.S. companies shouldn’t have to comply with the laws of other countries, in the U.S.” Professor Andrew Torrance provided expertise for a Reuters article exploring the increasing regulatory influence of foreign nations as demonstrated by a Cargill lawsuit over losses incurred as a result of China’s rejection of genetically modified corn.

“Right now I’m feeling frustrated. The law is clear-cut. It would save Kansas taxpayers a lot of money if the state would acknowledge that the law has changed rather than fighting a battle it cannot win.” Adjunct Professor David Brown was the subject of a Kansas City Star article about his lawsuit against the Kansas Department of Revenue, which seeks tax equality for married same-sex couples.

Mr. Yung published a study in March that found that more than 796,000 rapes were not included in the FBI’s tally between 1995 and 2012, partly because of the way the police handled cases in which the person who was assaulted did not meet the department’s definition of a rape victim. Professor Corey Yung’s study on the dramatic underreporting of rape in official FBI statistics was cited in a New York Times article about the challenge of defining rape.

“Everybody’s got a camera now, watching and recording everyone else. And that is, in a way, an unconscious step toward a society where everybody is under surveillance all the time. No one is thinking deeply about that.” Professor Mike Kautsch discussed how rapidly evolving technologies are outpacing existing privacy laws in a Wichita Eagle article about the elusive nature of privacy.

In SCOTUS oral argument and article, law professor explores original jurisdiction STEPHEN MCALLISTER, THE E.S. & TOM W. HAMPTON Distinguished Professor of Law and solicitor general of Kansas, argued on behalf of the state before the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 14 in a dispute about water rights and the Republican River. Lower courts have determined that Nebraska has pumped too much water from the river before it flows into Kansas and that Nebraska should pay Kansas $5.5 million. Nebraska claims that amount is too steep, while Kansas claims the payment should be higher. McAllister wrote an article published this fall in the law journal The Green Bag about original jurisdiction procedures, the process by which disputes between states often are initiated and decided in the Supreme Court. “One of the ways to think of original jurisdiction is as ‘the other civil war,’” McAllister said. “Instead of states taking action against each other, militarily or otherwise, they can go to the Supreme Court and get a resolution of their dispute. Original jurisdiction gives the Supreme Court the chance to keep such disputes from ever reaching the point of violence or other punitive actions between states.” Original jurisdiction was used only sparingly before the Civil War, but since then it has been used frequently to determine all manner of disputes between states over water rights, fishing rights, boundaries and occasionally other issues such as interstate pollution.

Debt, bankruptcy arguments similar to onetime debtors prisons WHILE PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER IMPRISONED FOR failing to pay their debts as they were in England a century ago, the legal arguments surrounding debts and bankruptcy have changed little since then. Stephen Ware, professor of law, has authored “A 20th Century Debate About Imprisonment for Debt,” which explores England’s parliamentary debate about imprisoning debtors circa 1909. He notes that current debates surrounding consumer debt in the United States rest on similar arguments. The article was published by the American Journal of Legal History. “Many people who settled in the 13 colonies that became the United States were fleeing debts in England, so it’s no surprise that the U.S. ended debtors’ prisons long before England, which continued to use them well into the 20th century,” Ware said. While the United States has done away with debtors’

prisons, many parallels exist today. Debtors who lose lawsuits can be ordered to answer questions about their income and assets in court. If debtors fail to appear, they can be held in contempt of court, and an arrest warrant will be issued. The debtor can stop the arrest by agreeing to a payment plan, but if the debtor again misses payments, he or she may be arrested. “While technically jailed for contempt of court, not the underlying debt, that distinction may be lost on a struggling debtor who cannot afford a lawyer to explain it and advocate for the debtor,” Ware said.

Regulation on creation of new life forms should be limited WHEN THE FIRST WIDESPREAD COMPUTER VIRUS WAS born, government didn’t shut down all computer science research. Similarly, now that synthetic biology — a field of science that uses standardized pieces of DNA to build new life forms, medications, industrial processes and biological systems — is growing rapidly, it should not be overregulated at the cost of future innovations, a KU Law professor argues. Andrew Torrance, professor of law and Docking Faculty Scholar, has co-authored a new study on synthetic biology, intellectual property and the standards that govern the field with Linda Kahl of the BioBricks Foundation, the leading synthetic biology institution. It has been published in the Santa Clara High Technology Law Journal, and it is based on a 2012 study the National Academies commissioned Torrance to prepare. Synthetic biology is being used to design new medications

to fight malaria, produce biological computers and create living organisms from organic chemicals. Yet there is also concern that this “dual use” technology could be used with malicious intent to design new forms of disease pathogens or that there could be accidents. “From its founding, the synthetic biology community has been concerned about ensuring safety, health and ethical practices,” said Torrance, who holds a doctorate in biology from Harvard. “The community has explicitly committed itself to uses of the technology that benefit humanity and avoidance of uses that could endanger public safety, especially those with nefarious purposes.”

Study: Muslim nations take nuanced approach to ‘haram’ imports NEW RESEARCH FROM a KU Law professor and alumna shows confusion about how Islamic law applies to international trade. Islamic law declares the consumption of certain items such as alcohol, pork and pork products forbidden, or “haram.” Raj Bhala, associate dean for international and comparative law and Rice Distinguished Professor, and Shannon Keating, L’13, authored an article showing that the majority of Islamic nations do not ban the import of those three product groupings, even though World Trade Organization law allows them to do so. The reasons are numerous and nuanced. Bhala and Keating analyzed the tariff schedules of every Islamic country in the world with a majority Muslim population who are members of both the Organization of Islamic Conference and the WTO to see how they handled the importation of the three haram product categories. The findings, published in the International Lawyer, the most widely circulated international law journal in the world, show “diversity within unity.” The unity the researchers found is that all the countries in question identify as Muslim and consider alcohol, pork and pork products haram. The diversity is that most allow their import but employ different kinds of import restrictions. Some nations did not know they could ban the import of such goods when they joined GATT. Many used tariffs to influence how the goods are lawfully brought into their countries.

BOOKS

Professor contextualizes origins of modern legal ethics in new introduction to ‘You Should Not’ AT A TIME WHEN THERE WAS NO formal code of legal ethics and attorneys had been traditionally trained as apprentices, Samuel Wandell, a New York lawyer, judge, and author, wrote the book on what lawyers should and should not do. Part handbook, part cultural artifact, the slim 1896 volume offers advice ranging from the professional (“You should not get the mistaken idea that it pays a lawyer to become noted as sharp and tricky”), to the personal (“You should not have too many confidential and intimate friends”) to the physical (“You should not neglect physical exercise”). Professor Michael H. Hoeflich, John H. and John M. Kane Professor of Law at KU, wrote the introduction to the 2014 edition and sheds light on the book’s historical and cultural context. Hoeflich notes that the post-Civil War era brought profound changes for the legal profession. The rise of large corporations created an unprecedented need for corporate attorneys. Legal education shifted from an apprenticeship model to the university-affiliated law schools we know today. The legal field became stratified — elite corporate lawyers represented business interests, while less elite lawyers represented plaintiffs. The legal elite tended to be educated at formal law schools, were active in professional legal groups and

hailed from established American families. The less elite plaintiffs’ attorneys were more likely from immigrant families and had less access to professional organizations and the benefits they offered. Tension arose between the two groups, prompting some members of the elite to call for ethical standards. A lawyer’s code of ethics was a novel idea at the time — the Alabama Bar introduced the first in 1887, with the American Bar Association following in 1908. Wandell wrote his book during this turning point in the legal profession and American history at large. His guide was not just “a treatise on legal ethics,” Hoeflich writes. Rather than simply highlighting professional responsibilities, the book helped attorneys understand how to adapt to the culture of the Bar. Hoeflich notes that the book is “more than a period piece,” but “a document which reflects both the origins of many of our modern ideas about legal ethics and professional responsibility as well as the changing notions of proper behavior that surfaced in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.” — Emily Sharp

Murguia began her legal career with the Wyandotte County District Attorney’s Office in Kansas City, Kansas. From 1990 to 2000, Murguia served in prosecutorial and administrative roles in the Arizona U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Executive Office for United States Attorneys at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. When President Clinton appointed Murguia a U.S. district judge for the District of Arizona in 2000, she became the first Latina on a federal bench for that district. In 2010, she was nominated to the 9th Circuit by President Obama.

Reid Day, L’16 “Coming from a public service background and now clerking for a distinguished jurist, I appreciate KU Law’s emphasis on writing, speaking and negotiating — even in 1L courses. These are skills that everyone needs, but are tough to develop and perfect. KU Law addresses them early and often to prepare students for their first internship or job.” Summer internship: Judge Carlos Murguia, U.S. District Court, Kansas
