New Leaders in the Law Thirty percent of the incoming law school deans in the U.S. are women, creating a buzz throughout legal education. But, as Kathleen M. Boozang noted, women leaders are not news at Seton Hall Law, “it’s just one more way we are ahead of the curve.”

“Our founder, Miriam T. Rooney, was the first woman dean of an ABA-accredited law school back in 1951,” said Dean Boozang. “Of the Law School’s eight deans, three are women. “So we began the tradition of breaking the mold from the very start.” Paulette Brown ’76 has made a career of being first. As the 2015-16 President of the American Bar Association, Paulette Brown ’76 is driving innovation for the national organization of 400,000 members. She is the first woman of color to lead the ABA and believes the diversity she reflects should radiate throughout the legal profession.

During her keynote speech at the ABA meeting in Chicago, Brown evoked the words of attorney and civil rights leader Charles Hamilton Houston, affirming that lawyers are indeed “social engineers for justice.” “As lawyers – regardless of our ideology, age, practice area, or place of employment – we all believe that this nation’s laws must be applied equally,” she said. “We deeply value the concept that the justice system must not only be fair, but must be perceived as fair by everyone in order to be effective.” Dean Boozang was honored to celebrate Paulette Brown’s installation as ABA President. “Paulette’s speech inspired me,” Dean Boozang said. “She underscored the value of our profession’s traditions, yet challenged us to revisit, rethink, and, always, improve, both the substance and application of the law. Tradition and innovation – they are at the heart of Seton Hall Law’s commitment to our students, to our alumni, and to the legal profession overall. We could not be prouder that Paulette stands among our most distinguished graduates.” Read more about the Seton Hall Law alumni community at law.shu.edu/alumni.

Letter from Our Dean As the new Dean of Seton Hall Law School, I am honored to introduce the 2015 issue of our annual alumni magazine. I am both delighted and humbled to succeed Dean Patrick E. Hobbs. As I meet deans from other law schools nationwide, I discover that his extraordinary leadership over the past 16 years is legendary. Seton Hall Law is known for its meteoric rise by virtually every measure in every ranking. Dean Hobbs’ success was built upon the foundation established by his predecessor, Dean Ronald J. Riccio, who fostered an ethos of rigor and compassion, inculcated in every student who graduated during his tenure. Both Deans Riccio and Hobbs molded a faculty who are nationally known for their scholarship and for the incomparable quality of their teaching. On behalf of the entire Seton Hall Law community, I extend our gratitude to Dean Hobbs for his vision, his passion, and for the joy he brought to his work and which he shared every day with his colleagues, with our students and with you, our alumni. I am pleased to continue my predecessors’ tradition of sharing with you the Law School’s many successes over the past year. Through impactful faculty scholarship and landmark events, Seton Hall Law continues to distinguish itself on the national stage. Professor Thomas Healy, whose book on Oliver Wendell Holmes and the First Amendment was published to great acclaim last year, was named a Guggenheim Fellow, one of our nation’s most prestigious scholarly awards. Professor John Jacobi’s work monitoring the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, on behalf of New Jersey’s most underserved communities, fills a systemic gap. Professor Kristin Johnson hosted this year’s annual National Business Law Scholars Conference, convening academics who teach, study and influence the shape of corporate practices, regulations and policies. Seton Hall Law hosted jurist Paul Clement, the 43rd Solicitor General of the United States, as the speaker at this year’s Larson Lecture, made possible by Peter N. Larson ’74. Paul Clement affirmed for students that, while there is no substitute for hard work and exhaustive preparation, they have the talent to achieve true excellence in the law. Seton Hall Law commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery March with a special screening of the award-winning film, Selma. Professor Wilfredo Caraballo then moderated a panel discussion, in which Professors Mark Denbeaux and Brenda Saunders Hampden illuminated this tumultuous period with their personal experiences as civil

rights pioneers. Associate Dean Mark Alexander interpreted today’s events in light of this moment in civil rights history. The inaugural “Diversity in Compliance” event, sponsored by the Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy and Johnson & Johnson, with support from the Dean’s Diversity Council, brought together professionals and students to build their networks within this rapidly growing area in our region’s regulated industries, a field in which Seton Hall Law is internationally prominent. Our success may also be measured in numbers. At #63, our U.S. News & World Report ranking solidifies our place in the top third of the nation’s 200 law schools. Likewise, Above the Law included Seton Hall Law among its Top 50 Law Schools for the third consecutive year. Just as important, Above the Law ranked Seton Hall Law tied at #1 for our Alumni Rating, based on your feedback about your alma mater. We are honored for the distinction and, as always, proud of our graduates. The Seton Hall Law alumni network is uniquely strong – “fierce,” as one student put it. As a professor and Associate Dean for 25 years, I value the number of former students whom I count today among my good friends and esteemed colleagues. I plan to spend this year meeting as many of you as possible, to share with you my vision for Seton Hall Law. I welcome your insights into how we can better support you in continuing to achieve your professional aspirations, and how we, as a Law School, can play a more integral role within the larger community. Warm regards,

Kathleen M. Boozang, Dean and Professor of Law Fall 2015 | law.shu.edu

A New Dean

for Seton Hall Law Rooted in firmly held traditions, welcoming innovation

“ Seton Hall Law succeeds because we continually reinvent,” said Dean Kathleen M. Boozang, explaining how the current market requires the Law School to be nimble. “Seton Hall Law distinguishes itself by anticipating the demands of a constantly evolving economy, enabling us to prepare our students to excel in the world into which they graduate.” Dean Boozang follows Dean Patrick E. Hobbs, who led Seton Hall Law School from 1999 to 2015. The seamless transition of leadership is a natural outgrowth of Dean Hobbs’ and Dean Boozang’s longstanding friendship and working partnership over the decades. Both joined the Seton Hall Law faculty as assistant professors on the same day in 1990.

Seton Hall Law Magazine

Serving as Associate Dean for more than half of Dean Hobbs’ tenure, Dean Boozang was one of the primary architects and drivers of the Law School’s strategic planning process in 2004. The resulting plan and its implementation through the concerted efforts of Seton Hall Law faculty, administration, and the Seton Hall Law Board of Visitors, resulted in the Law School’s meteoric rise over the past decade in the U.S. News & World Report rankings, to #63 in 2015. “No other law school has climbed more dramatically within the same time frame,” noted Dean Boozang, adding, “Imagine where we’ll be in another decade!”


‘‘

We want to imbue Seton Hall Law graduates with a commitment to serving the community no matter what career path they pursue. — Dean Kathleen M. Boozang In addition, graduates’ bar passage rates have exceeded state averages in New Jersey and New York for nearly 10 years. And, with the Law School’s total employment rate of 93 percent for the Class of 2014, employment outcomes parallel those of the top law schools in the nation. Dean Boozang is known to students for her hands-on approach to student placement. She has carried that dedication into the deanship, having spent much of her first summer as dean “working to connect students with judges and law firms on both sides of the Hudson, in Washington, D.C., and in California,” she said, with a laugh. Dean Boozang speaks of her and Dean Hobbs’ “parallel paths” in achieving a shared vision. “As Pat sought support for the initial strategic plan from our alumni, donors and the University, my role was to spearhead the plan’s fulfillment,” she said. “You see the results reflected in the kind of entrepreneurial, forward-thinking programs that we’ve developed and in the quality and caliber of our faculty. We preserved the ethos instilled by Dean Ronald Riccio – our faculty continue to be dedicated to the success of each and every Seton Hall Law student and graduate.” “My strategic planning process always includes in-depth discussions with senior leaders in corporations,” Dean Boozang said. “They are the ultimate clients and employers whom our students will advise or serve when they graduate. Their business needs inform how law firms will practice law in the next five, ten or fifteen years. I have also grown relationships with many consulting firms who now compete with law firms, and am acutely aware that many multi-national corporations have essentially built in-house law firms.” One of the emerging trends she capitalized on was compliance. “New Jersey is at the epicenter of our

’’

world’s most highly regulated industries – life sciences and financial services,” she said. “Compliance represents an entire new profession which Seton Hall Law can educate, as well as a new pathway for our J.D. graduates.” This year, Dean Boozang, working together with the Law School’s corporate law faculty, introduced both an M.S.J. degree in Compliance in Financial Services and a J.D. Concentration in Compliance. Today, Seton Hall Law offers the greatest array of compliance education and training programs of any law school in the country. Dean Boozang cautions against these entrepreneurial activities detracting from the education of the many students who will ultimately spend their careers in small firms representing individuals and small-tomedium-sized entities. “We need to remember this in planning our curriculum, and in thinking about how to best serve our alumni,” she explained. One of Dean Boozang’s first initiatives is the creation of a working group to strengthen the Law School’s ties with those practicing in smaller firms, who, said Dean Boozang, “comprise a strong core of our alumni.” A Dedication to Service and Social Justice An inspiration for Dean Boozang’s candidacy for the deanship was Pope Francis’ call that each of us, and every community, “be an instrument of God for the liberation and promotion of the poor, and for enabling them to be fully a part of society.” Indeed, Seton Hall Law’s Catholic mission and its presence in Newark is why Dean Boozang came to Seton Hall Law. “I think about our role in the community – as a citizen – in the same way I seek to identify new areas of the law we might develop,” Dean Boozang said. “I talk to as many individuals as possible in the judiciary, government and the community. What are the pressing Fall 2015 | law.shu.edu

areas that need law reform in our state? What gaps exist in services? Where can Seton Hall Law make a difference? What expertise exists within our faculty that can help the community? We are developing a new strategic plan for the Center for Social Justice that matches the strengths of our clinical faculty with community needs and that offers every student an opportunity to have a clinical experience. We want to imbue Seton Hall Law graduates with a commitment to serving the community no matter what career path they pursue.” Looking Forward Where does Dean Boozang envision Seton Hall Law in five years? “We are already one of the top five Catholic law schools in the country, so I have my eye on the number one spot,” said Dean Boozang with a smile. “We will be driven first and foremost by its mission, while remaining a forward-thinking law school with both J.D. and graduate programs taking their cues from the marketplace – the sectors comprising the ultimate clients, and employers, of Seton Hall Law graduates.

“While preparing the next generation of attorneys will always represent our core activity,” Dean Boozang predicted, “we will be educating and training a growing number of professionals who do not want to practice law, but who choose to make their careers in public service or in the business world. As teachers, we need to have a broader vision of the pathways our students will travel.” “Ultimately, I envision that the legal profession, government and industry will recognize Seton Hall Law for its excellence in educating not only future attorneys but also future policy-makers and business professionals,” Dean Boozang concluded. “I firmly believe that the J.D. is an outstanding preparation for any number of career paths, not just the practice of law. Our faculty will continue to produce innovative, impactful scholarship and continue to be more involved in on-the-ground reform efforts. Such engagement reflects the need for Seton Hall Law to remain a ‘good citizen,’ making our society a better place in which to thrive and prosper in all senses of the word.”

About Dean Kathleen M. Boozang Dean Boozang came to Seton Hall in 1990 as a health law professor charged with founding the Law School’s now top-ranked Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy. She served as Associate Dean to Dean Hobbs, as Vice Provost at Seton Hall University, and as Associate Dean for Academic Advancement. Dean Boozang has focused much of her scholarship on nonprofit governance issues with a special focus on religiously-affiliated hospitals, and in recent years, explored the legal and policy issues related to corporate corruption and compliance. Dean Boozang is a Fellow of The Hastings Center as well as a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation. She is also a member of the American Law Institute and is past president of the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics (ASLME). In 2013, the ASLME conferred upon Dean Boozang the Jay Healy Health Law Teacher Award. Dean Boozang currently serves on the Board of Trustees of the St. Joseph Healthcare System in New Jersey. After attending Boston College she graduated from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, where she was inducted into the Order of the Coif and served as the managing editor of the Law Quarterly. She received her LL.M. from Yale Law School.

Cymetra Williams ’15, left, is currently clerking for the Honorable Mary Catherine Cuff, Presiding Judge of the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court, who is temporarily assigned to the New Jersey State Supreme Court. In September 2016, Williams will clerk for the Honorable Michael A. Shipp ’94, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Edan Lisowicz ’14, right, clerked for the Honorable Donald H. Steckroth, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, until his retirement in February, and has since clerked for Judge Steckroth’s successor, the Honorable John K. Sherwood, with whom Lisowicz will remain for the coming year.


Enduring Values that Drive Innovation at Seton Hall Law In her letter welcoming new students, Dean Boozang writes, Seton Hall Law’s cornerstone values – integrity, loyalty and engagement – define the Seton Hall lawyer . . . . The integrity and character of the Seton Hall lawyer explains why we stand out for excellence. Seton Hall loyalty means that your professors and classmates will be invested in your success throughout your career, from the moment you become a student. “ Looking over the last 25 years, it became clear that these foundational values comprise the core of our culture,” Dean Boozang commented. “When I meet with graduates, these values resonate for them, as well.”

Why the Seton Hall Lawyer is Unique “ Seton Hall Law engages our students in what it means to practice law from their first day. Faculty seek to ensure that our students not only grasp concepts and master their application, but also understand that the end game is to produce results for a client: an individual, company, or policy-maker,” Dean Boozang explains. “Whether meeting with judges or partners in law firms, I hear that Seton Hall graduates understand how to produce results, and they have an outstanding work ethic.” “ One of our most important recent curricular innovations is Introduction to Lawyering, a year-long course for first-year students, introducing them to the core functions of a lawyer. It enhances our legal research and writing training while incorporating practice experiences like interviewing, counseling and negotiating,” Dean Boozang said. Because Lawyering is taught by full-time faculty, 1L students have a ready mentor with whom they spend an entire year in a small group setting. Faculty inculcate the values of integrity, loyalty and engagement that Dean Boozang believes form the Seton Hall lawyer. “I am confident our 1L students will carry this experience with them for their entire careers” she said.

Building Career Success, One Student at a Time Myriad externship, fellowship, summer employment and clinical opportunities, in a variety of settings, enable students to test their interests and then pursue career options with knowledge. The Road to

Each year, Professor Rachel Godsil hosts a panel discussion during Orientation, talking with alumni about their law school experiences and their current professional roles. Pictured, from left, are the members of year’s panel: Matthew Colford ’10, Director, Advisory, KPMG LLP; Andrea Joy Albrecht ’11, Associate, Ceconi & Cheifetz, LLC; Professor Godsil; Danielle Counts ’12, Deputy Attorney General, Division of Child Protection and Permanency; Steven Llanes ’13, Associate, Lowenstein Sandler LLP; and Lauren Repole ’13, Associate, Simpson, Thatcher, & Bartlett, LLP.

Success, a series developed by Dean of Students Cara Foerst and the Office of Career Services, hosts alumni from a spectrum of settings to share their roles, responsibilities and career paths. “A law degree offers many roads to professional success,” Dean Boozang observed. “We work with each student individually to identify her career interests and the path that will help him achieve his aspirations. This approach produces better-prepared and more satisfied graduates.” Dean Boozang also recognizes the importance of the Seton Hall Law alumni network in opening doors for its students and graduates. “‘Loyalty’ truly describes the bond our graduates feel toward both students and one another,” she said. “None of what we accomplish would happen without the continued engagement of our alumni.”

Faculty as ‘Active Citizens’ As a health law professor, Dean Boozang appreciates the power of scholarship to transform public policy, believing that law schools have a special obligation to deploy their assets to achieve reform. Professor Marina Lao’s career of antitrust scholarship resulted in her appointment as Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission. Professor Rachel Godsil’s work on housing, land use and social justice led to her appointment, by Mayor Bill DeBlasio, as Chair of the New York City Rent Guidelines Board. In addition, Professor Linda Fisher’s research on property foreclosures in lower-income neighborhoods exposed unethical practices within the financial services sector. And for the past 10 years, Dean Boozang noted, “Professor Edward Hartnett, one of the nation’s top constitutional law scholars, has co-authored Supreme Court Practice, the definitive guide to protocols in our nation’s highest court.”

“ Most important,” concluded Dean Boozang, “is that engaged scholars make outstanding teachers and role models, exemplifying the possibilities of what you can accomplish with a law degree.”

Dean Patrick E. Hobbs

Celebrating

16 Years of Distinguished Service as Dean of Seton Hall Law

‘‘

There has never been a day when I have not looked forward to coming into this building, Dean Hobbs is known to say — often when welcoming new students; exhorting them to feel the joy he has always felt as a member of the Seton Hall Law community. In August 2014 Dean Hobbs announced he would step down. What followed was yet another year of distinguished, remarkable service. Here are some of the highlights.

‘‘

My three favorite days of our academic year are, Orientation—today, when I get to usher in our newest incoming class; our Swearing-In Ceremony for the most recent graduating class; and Graduation. Welcome to the start of your legal career. Our faculty can’t wait to get a hold of you!

’’

Orientation August 18, 2014

Swearing-in Ceremony December 3, 2014 “My parting words to our newly minted attorneys are always the same: You have worked hard to reach this moment. Take your oath seriously because, when all is said and done, your future as a lawyer will rise and fall with your reputation. Guard it with everything you have.” Joining Dean Hobbs, from left, the Honorable David B. Katz ’87 Presiding Judge, Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Family Part, who administered the state oath; and the Honorable Steven C. Mannion ’93, Magistrate Judge, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, who administered the federal oath.

Commencement May 22, 2015 “Class of 2015, in your hand you hold a 2015 quarter painted red, in a plastic case. The quarter is to remind you that in times of trouble, or doubt, or jeopardy, I want you to call me. I gave you my cell phone number the first day of law school. Call me. I’ll get you through that moment.” Dean Hobbs was the speaker for the 2015 Commencement, at which Seton Hall University conferred upon him an honorary Master of Laws degree.

The Larson Lecture becomes the Hobbs Lecture February 10, 2015 “Peter Larson generously donated to refurbish this wonderful space, which is why we sit today in the Larson Auditorium. He wanted it to be a place where the spirit of civil discourse is well and consistently observed.” In 2012, Peter N. Larson ’74 (pictured with Dean Hobbs) and his wife, Lee, inaugurated the Larson Lecture, inviting distinguished speakers representing the diversity of opinion on matters of national importance. The 2015 Lecture welcomed Paul D. Clement, the 43rd Solicitor General of the United States. This year, Peter Larson announced the lecture series has been renamed the Hobbs Lecture, in honor of Dean Hobbs.

A Farewell Tribute to Dean Hobbs May 12, 2015 “On occasion, after an event wraps up, I’ll go back to the office to get my briefcase. Everyone has gone home and the building is empty. And I walk the building. I see the people, they are still here. Their spirit is still here, always with us.” Seton Hall Law’s Board of Visitors, Alumni Council, student organization leaders, faculty and administration honored Dean Hobbs with a special celebration. Patrick C. Dunican Jr. ’91, Chair of the Board of Visitors, served as the master of ceremonies for the program. Led by the Board of Visitors, Seton Hall Law raised $782,800 for the Patrick E. Hobbs Endowed Scholarship, the largest endowed scholarship in the history of the Law School.

ABA President

Paulette Brown ’76 Seton Hall Law student leaders, who give extensive amounts of time in service to the Law School, met with Paulette Brown for lunch following her remarks. Pictured, from left, are Joseph Dellera ’17; Nedda Alvarez ’17; Chelsea Ott ’17; Diane Lopez ’16 ; Dominic DiLeo ’17; Saige Sube ’17, Dina Ibrahim ’16, Paulette Brown, Noel Thomas ’16, Katherine Dadulla ’16, Latoya Dawkins ’17, Svjetlana Tesic ’16 and Pooja Patel ’16.

“It’s always good to come back home,” said Paulette Brown as she opened her address to the incoming Seton Hall Law students at Orientation in August. Brown visited her alma mater just two weeks after assuming the presidency of the American Bar Association, marking the launch of her initiative, Main Street ABA – a yearlong, nationwide tour of law schools and state and local bar associations. As the first woman of color to lead the ABA, Brown is determined to help the ABA broaden its pipeline, with bold initiatives to foster greater diversity and inclusion within the legal profession, and a part of that effort is her visits to boys and girls clubs across the U.S.

At Orientation, Paulette Brown shared her view of the vital role lawyers play in society: “I remember being in your place, never knowing any lawyers when I grew up,” she said. “I went to college thinking I would be a social worker so that I could save the world. I quickly learned that with a law degree and with the power that it gives, I could have much more impact.” “There is a justice gap,” Brown continued, encouraging students to consider the law as both a profession and a call to service. “There is so much need for all of you, and for the talents you will bring to the legal profession. We know that, because you are here, you set a bar for yourselves that is very high. And it is very important that you never let anyone lower that bar for you – and that you never lower it for yourself.”

“ The legal profession provides more hours of pro bono service than any other profession,” Paulette Brown said to Seton Hall Law students in August. And she

“ Diversity and inclusion doesn’t just mean bridging racial, gender, or sexual orientation divides. It means recognizing what we have in common, how we have so many shared goals, and the many ways in which they make us a better, stronger, and a more noble profession,” Paulette Brown said during her acceptance speech at the national ABA meeting in early August.

reminded her fellow alumni of the ABA’s annual Pro Bono Week, October 25-31, to recognize pro bono service and recruit volunteers nationwide, along with a new signature event, And Justice for All: An ABA Day of Service, which will take place on October 30.
