Being Bold
The Transformative Impact of BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law
We knew we had to be bold.
THE TIMES DEMANDED IT. To prepare students for work and service in a global environment, BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law transformed what we are capable of achieving.
The generosity of donors, who invested $180 MILLION, surpassed our goal and set in motion a remarkable success story—one that is deepening Penn Law’s influence on the legal academy and making a tangible difference for our entire community. We are strengthening opportunities for students to combine disciplines, learn experientially, and prepare for careers. Our faculty has grown in size, stature, and scope, and leads an expanded, more diverse combination of curriculum, clinics, and programs. Penn Law’s partnerships flourish within the University and around the world. Our campus is modern, integrated, and reflective of our collaborative culture.
We have been bold. We are bold. And now we can look to a bold future.

Golkin architects Kennedy & Violich worked with Penn Law to select materials for this tribute to law libraries everywhere.
The story of this campaign foretells the story of law in the 21st century and beyond. AN UNMISTAKABLE SHIFT in what it means to be a lawyer places new demands on the profession— and opens new opportunities. A successful lawyer must now be capable of crossing intellectual, cultural, and geographic boundaries. This new paradigm reflects what is required to be a leader and a problem-solver in a more complex, integrated, multidimensional, and synergistic world. BOLD AMBITIONS responded to this change and anticipated its implications. Our most comprehensive fundraising effort ever, the Campaign developed and expanded Penn Law’s core strengths in this new environment. Penn Law has always offered a superb legal education. BOLD AMBITIONS has provided the resources to build on this foundation, leverage the unique opportunities before us, and evolve. The attributes that have always made the Law School distinctive directed our focus and guided this journey: tight-knit community and colleagueship, outstanding research and scholarship, the most interdisciplinary faculty, an emphasis on cross-disciplinary and experiential learning, and above all, a supportive community of successful and generous alumni.

Campaign giving made a transformative impact on six core areas of Penn Law. Today, we are‌
MORE CROSS-DISCIPLINARY • Students enroll in 35 joint degree and certificate programs, and some 100 JD students graduate each year with a joint degree or certificate. • The faculty grew by nearly 40% during BOLD AMBITIONS. New positions included 17 named professorships. • Nearly 50% of Penn Law faculty members hold a joint appointment at another Penn school. FARTHER-REACHING • Every year, some 100 students work, volunteer, study, or conduct research abroad. • 18 experts from 12 countries have enriched our campus as Bok Visiting International Professors. • 110 foreign-trained attorneys from 47 countries are currently enrolled in the LLM, LLCM, and SJD graduate programs. STRONGER IN SERVICE • Students pursuing public interest careers benefit from 100% more funds available for loan forgiveness and public interest fellowships. • Nearly 50 Toll Public Interest Scholars graduated during the Campaign. • More students are doing more public service: the class of 2012 provided 30,000 hours; nearly 90% exceeded the pro bono requirement. MORE SUCCESSFUL IN PRACTICE • Penn Law ranked #1 in placement rates of 2011 graduates in AmLaw 250 firms, according to National Law Journal’s 2012 survey. • Nearly 300 graduates and alumni clerked nationwide over the last four years, including 2 clerkships for the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. • Of 1,065 graduates between 2008 and 2011, 98.9% successfully found employment. MORE COLLABORATIVE • 40,000 square feet of new space support community interaction and collaboration and the most global, career-focused education. • BOLD AMBITIONS completed a decade-long $55 million transformation of the entire Penn Law campus, with every space refurbished or renovated. MORE ACCESSIBLE • More than 100% growth in financial aid has broken down barriers. • 71 new named scholarship funds substantially increase our community’s investment in access.
Cross-Disciplinary Paradigm BOLD AMBITIONS recognized the need for even greater crossdisciplinary excellence. Today’s problems can only be analyzed and solved by thinking broadly. To meet this challenge, we have dramatically expanded the opportunities to graduate with a joint degree and inspired more students to study and think across disciplines.
For students who want a jd/mba joint degree, a new three-year program offers a time-effective option with fresh opportunities to integrate both sides of their education. In their final semester, students design capstone projects that tackle real-world problems. “It’s our equivalent of a graduation concert,” says Edward Rock L’83, Saul A. Fox Distinguished Professor of Business Law. “After three years of the pedagogically finest JD/MBA curriculum, students show us what they can do.” Projects aim high. The first group tackled subjects as diverse as European investment opportunities arising from the sovereign debt crisis, social venture investing, potential Google antitrust issues, and a business plan that has since become a start-up called CommonBond, which provides lower-cost loans to students in top-tier MBA programs.
Nearly half of Penn Law faculty members hold a joint appointment at another Penn school. Dorothy Roberts became Penn Law’s first Penn Integrates Knowledge (PIK) professor— and the 14th at the University—when she was named the George A. Weiss University Professor of Law and Sociology and the Raymond Pace and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander ED’18, GR’21, L’27 Professor of Civil Rights. 4
THE LAW PROPELS INNOVATION’S LEADING EDGE.
The IP LawMeet was uncharted territory for Lauren Saltiel L’14 and Christina Wong L’14, just weeks into their 2L year. Facing off against 3L teams from law schools across the country, they won the national championship. While proving their mettle handling a complex cross-license agreement, they affirmed Penn Law’s cross-disciplinary expertise in intellectual property law. “I was so proud of how Lauren and Christina used not only legal analytical skills but also business savvy, interpersonal skills, and general problemsolving to succeed. That multifaceted approach is at the heart of successful transactional lawyering,” says professor and coach Cynthia Dahl, inaugural Director of the Detkin Intellectual Property and Technology Legal Clinic, funded by a gift from Peter Detkin EE’82, L’85. The Detkin Clinic expands students’ opportunities to develop and apply the skills that show how lawyers can help companies commercialize innovation. Interacting with Penn’s Center for Technology Transfer and with classes from Wharton and the Schools of Engineering and Medicine, the Clinic is creating a unique platform for excellence. “I love the intellectual fire in these Penn Law students,” says Dahl, “and I am thrilled that they are so excited about this area of the law.”
“Studying at Penn Law and Wharton gave me an inquisitive mind and better criticalthinking and communication skills. The real difference shows up later in life. You could say Penn Law really prepared me for my last job—the one most important to my career.” Paul Haaga Jr. L’74, WG’74 As Board Chair during the Campaign, Haaga advocated for investing in cross-disciplinary growth. BOLD AMBITIONS added joint-degree opportunities and created endowed positions for new faculty, including Penn Law’s first Penn Integrates Knowledge Professorship.
Global Engagement BOLD AMBITIONS fast-tracked our distinctively interdisciplinary global initiatives. We’ve brought the world to Penn Law and engaged our students globally in compelling new ways.
The Campaign has made global engagement a two-way thoroughfare. The mead international fellowships, made possible by a gift from Scott Mead L’82, catapult students around the world during their summers to work on projects that address the legal and business sides of global human rights. As part of the International Summer Human Rights Fellows cohort, Mead Fellows explore key development issues like building microfinance systems or investing in public-works infrastructures. Traveling from the world to campus, the bok visiting international professors teach and lecture on cutting-edge issues, and connect students to the legal framework of future global practice. Penn Law has hosted 18 Bok VIPs from 12 countries since 2010. All are renowned experts in their fields, including former Chilean Judge Juan Guzmán Tapia, who taught a transitional justice course based on his experience leading the investigation of General Augusto Pinochet for human rights violations. “At Penn Law, international cuts across everything. Donor support helps expose students to the global dimension of law, from corporate and transactional practice to finance, health care, and human rights,” says Associate Dean for International Programs Amy Gadsden.

THE WORLD MAKES THE BEST CLASSROOM.
Experiential learning is a hallmark of Penn Law. Rekha Nair L’12 arrived already curious about international human rights issues. During her 2L year, her exposure to the Sheehan Asylum/Human Rights Project/ Transnational Legal Clinic focused and inspired her interest. As co-counsel representing an asylum-seeking family from the Republic of the Congo, Nair learned immigration law from the ground up. In Haiti, she led a student team researching and drafting a report on restavèk child labor practices for United Nations review. Nair credits the Clinic with crystallizing her professional goal: to champion justice across legal systems by working on immigration cases based in the United States, while also engaging in systemic human rights advocacy. “The Clinic was my most important Penn Law experience,” she says. “It taught me how to affect meaningful change both domestically and abroad.” A gift by Skadden, Arps in honor of Robert Sheehan L’69 made possible the Clinic’s expanded work. “Asylum and international rights work requires a greater investment in travel, administrative support, and specific resources like interpreters and expert witnesses,” says Clinic Director Sarah Paoletti. “But the return on investment is great. It’s eye-opening the first time students have primary responsibility for navigating the law and legal systems while moving a client's case forward. That experience can change the trajectory of a career.”
“I’ve benefitted from a broad array of unique international experiences. I am confident Penn Law has given me the strongest foundation—one I can draw on wherever my career takes me.” Megan Tweed L’13 Tweed came to Penn Law with an interest in domestic urban policy, but deferred admission to work in West Africa for two years. With a new focus on international law, Tweed worked at the WTO in Geneva as a Mead International Fellow. A 2L Global Research Seminar about comparative Internet law then allowed her to conduct research in Germany and Belgium. Finally, Tweed spent her 3L year earning a joint degree in global business law in Paris.
Public Service Ethos BOLD AMBITIONS advanced the practice of public interest law at Penn, in Philadelphia, and across the globe. Every Penn student is empowered to pursue a career in public service, and all students experience the benefits of learning to lawyer through service.
The langer, grogan & diver fellowship in social justice, funded by a gift from Howard Langer L’77, John Grogan L’93, and Edward Diver L’99, G’01, GR’04, was one of five public interest postgraduate fellowships created during the Campaign. It supports a Law School graduate student beginning a career by serving low-income, disenfranchised communities. Abel Rodriguez L’11, an early recipient, immediately knew he would choose immigration law, the reason he had left a position as a Penn Spanish instructor to return to school. “This was the ideal way to launch my career: working on the issue I care about most; finding a good local partner, Nueva Esperanza; and using client skills I learned at Penn Law.” The Fellowship has been a springboard to his “dream job.” In fact, Rodriguez has two: working as an immigration specialist with the Defender Association of Philadelphia and as an immigration attorney for clients with criminal records at the Nationalities Service Center.

PASSIONS INSPIRE THE MOST REWARDING CAREERS.
Shikha Bhattacharjee L’13 is determined to fight for social justice for marginalized communities in her native India. In Penn Law, she found the school to support her ambition. Among the first schools to mandate community service and establish a public interest center, Penn Law was the first of only two law schools ever to win the American Bar Association’s Pro Bono Publico Award. Bhattacharjee continues this tradition as a Toll Public Interest Scholar, a program transformed by a gift from Robert Toll L’66 and his wife, Jane. “Campaign resources have deepened our commitment to service, enabling us to keep pace with our students’ exceptional vision and initiative” says Arlene Finkelstein, Assistant Dean for Public Interest Programs and Executive Director of the Toll Public Interest Center. “We’ve added scholarships, postgraduate fellowships, guaranteed summer funding, and more resources for students who pursue public interest careers. We’ve also expanded our Center to support all students working on pro bono cases.” “Financial support and loan forgiveness enable my education,” adds Bhattacharjee, “and the mentorship I receive as a Toll Scholar enriches it. I have a team of advisors invested in my development.” After graduation, she plans to return to India, where she is already working with organizations on casteand gender-based discrimination issues. “India still has the space to work on what is possible, not what is. Penn Law connects me to that space of possibility.”
“The Toll Loan Repayment Assistance Program adds to everything Penn Law has done to connect me with a specialized publicservice career. I’m lucky enough to be working in an area that is so important: fair lending and foreclosure prevention. It’s reassuring to be able to focus on my work—systemic civil rights and individual client cases—without worrying about my finances.” Maureen St. Cyr L’11 Attorney, Community Legal Aid, Worcester, Mass. As a student, St. Cyr co-founded Penn Law’s Civil Rights Law Project and interned at the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, working on a significant lending discrimination case against a major national lender. After clerking for Vermont Superior Court, St. Cyr joined the Housing Unit of Community Legal Aid.
Market-Ready Professional BOLD AMBITIONS advanced professionalism as a key goal of every education. We have greatly expanded the first-year and upper-level curricula and added faculty and staff to support professional skills as a shared priority.
Penn Law teaches students a broad array of transferable skills. The first-year curriculum, expanded through the Campaign, covers legal writing comprehensively and introduces a range of real-world legal communications. Students become adept writers, analysts, and communicators by working through practice simulations. A broader upper-level curriculum offers additional opportunities to practice these skills, including work on law journals by the vast majority of students. Helen Eisner L’12, former senior editor of the Journal of Constitutional Law, recently extended Penn Law’s streak of 11 consecutive Burton Distinguished Legal Writing Awards. “New space and staff have a major impact on first-year legal skills training,” says Eleanor Barrett L’07, Associate Dean for Legal Writing and Communications. “Professional instructors with recent practice experience can give students detailed, individualized attention with a focus on readiness for practice.”

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES START HERE.
In 2012, Penn Law ranked first nationally in placing first-year associates in AmLaw 250 firms, with nearly 57 percent of the class landing these sought-after positions. Of 1,065 graduates between 2008 and 2011, 98.9 percent were successfully placed in jobs. “We saw the market shift and stayed ahead of the curve,” says Heather Frattone L’98, Associate Dean for Career Planning and Professionalism. “Employers need first-year lawyers who are practice-ready. We must train graduates to solve increasingly complex problems in increasingly sophisticated settings.” This success reflects Penn Law’s deep commitment to professionalism. The Campaign invested in more staffing and resources to help students develop professional identities; new skills-focused classes and clinics; and a more robust, integrated role for the Center on Professionalism. “Integration is key,” says Frattone. “We provide the best core analytical and doctrinal education, as well as unparalleled opportunities for our students to hone their legal practice skills on campus and in the world. We must continue aligning other skills— teamwork, communication, management—so every Penn Law graduate is ready to engage in a meaningful, fulfilling career.”
“Penn Law does more than stamp the Penn imprimatur on you. They prepare you to lead, delegate, and deliver under pressure. Law firms of all stripes see Penn Law graduates as bright, assertive, and able to take on responsibility right away.” David Williams L’10 Attorney, Kline & Specter, Philadelphia, Penn. Williams, president of the class of 2010, was applying to work for the U.S. Department of Justice, where he had served an internship, when he was offered an interview and a position at Kline & Specter. His first month on the job, Williams was handed a pro bono case and has been litigating ever since.
Collaborative Campus BOLD AMBITIONS completed a decade-long transformation of our campus. One of the nation’s finest law school campuses is now fully integrated and spatially diverse, and, like today’s legal profession, both interconnected and dynamic.
Naming a professorship or space after a dean is a time-honored tradition but usually comes at retirement. Paul Haaga Jr. L’74, WG’74 and his wife, Heather, and Richard Schifter L’78 and his wife, Jennifer, were not about to wait that long to pay tribute to Dean Michael Fitts and his leadership in Penn Law’s most important period of growth. “Mike Fitts has been so active and influential, and so connected to our community. He develops his vision by listening,” says Haaga. During Golkin Hall’s construction, Haaga and Schifter found the perfect naming opportunity: the 350-seat auditorium, the first space large enough to accommodate an entire class. Here, world-renowned speakers deliver lectures, and as a central venue, the auditorium’s name will be in common use for decades to come. “We wanted people to say and repeat ‘michael a. fitts auditorium’ every day we’re in session.”

SPACE CONNECTS AND DEFINES OUR COMMUNITY.
Penn Law is like no other law campus. Just one square block, it uses an innovative mixed-use approach to space that both supports and shapes the Law School’s collaborative culture. The Campaign allowed Penn Law to update and adapt every building and space on campus, including the central courtyard, the second floor and lower level of Silverman Hall, and first-floor offices nestled around the Clock Lounge. The masterstroke is Golkin Hall, a modern, light-infused structure with green components, which adds 40,000 square feet of smartly designed, seamlessly integrated spaces. R. Polk Wagner chaired the Faculty Building Committee. “There are many things to like: seminar rooms and flexible office spaces; the airy, open feel of decks, terraces, and light cascading down wells,” he says. “Golkin’s collaborative zones are especially useful. By bridging routes students and faculty take, they create impromptu meeting spaces.” Every floor makes sense. The lower level anchors the building with student spaces, the Fitts Auditorium, and the Kline & Specter Courtroom. The ground floor bustles with foot traffic through the Haaga Goat Lounge. The second floor inspires a new approach to faculty collaboration, with bridges to second-floor faculty offices in Silverman and Gittis, where the connector is a sanctuary-like green roof. A third-floor terrace overlooks it all. Wagner adds, “We’ve forged a new aesthetic combining high-tech sensibilities with tradition.”
“One of the things I enjoyed most about Penn Law is the pride we take in developing a strong culture of collaboration and collegiality. Helping organize the class gift was a welcome task because I knew my classmates and I were contributing to a physical space that would help foster this culture for generations to come.” Pablo Rubinstein Ize L’12 Associate, White & Case, Los Angeles, Calif. As co-chair of his 3L class, Rubinstein Ize worked with his peers to choose a fitting class gift to present to Dean Fitts at graduation. To acknowledge Penn Law’s transformation during their time there, the class of 2012 decided to make a named gift of the East Garden on Sansom Street.
Increasing Access BOLD AMBITIONS has opened the doors to Penn Law wider than ever. We have dramatically strengthened our ability to offer the finest legal education to students who live up to our academic standards, regardless of means.
Life-changing doors of opportunity opened during the Campaign as donors established 71 new scholarships funds. Each year, income from the new endowed funds enables the education of up to 128 students. Paul Levy L’72 and his wife, Karen, led the way by establishing the levy scholars program. These major scholarships have deepened recipients’ experiences by thoughtfully pairing them with alumni and faculty mentors whose expertise mirrors their specific interest from specialized fields to cross-disciplinary intersections with business, engineering, medicine, technology, and more. “I am deeply gratified to see Levy Scholars able to take advantage of so many compelling opportunities not available at other schools,” says Levy, who chaired BOLD AMBITIONS. “My hope is these Scholars will prove that cross-disciplinary study is essential to success today and that Penn Law is the best place to launch a career.”

THE LEGAL ACADEMY MUST EMPHASIZE OPPORTUNITY.
For as long as she can remember, Erica Holland L’15 had seen one major obstacle to her dream of becoming a lawyer: financial resources. Even her undergraduate degree was a first in her family, and scholarships were essential. With support from a nonprofit organization dedicated to college access, Holland applied to Penn as an undergraduate and found the financial aid she needed. Grades and expectations remained high and her horizons expanded. She traveled to South Africa on a Fulbright Fellowship and found opportunities to give back, volunteering with AmeriCorps and serving as a Philly Fellow. Accepted into Penn Law, Holland was named a recipient of the Carolyn CW’64 and Paul Shapiro C’64, L’67 Scholarship, one of 71 new scholarships established during the Campaign. “I want to tell Mr. and Mrs. Shapiro what a privilege it is to earn a JD from one of the best law schools,” says Holland. “I can set an example for my four nephews and two nieces. Neither of my parents completed high school, but I am becoming a lawyer.” Holland sees clearly the role of scholarships in Penn Law’s future. “They bring socioeconomic diversity to our class. You have a different perspective as a person who didn’t grow up with means. I intend to take that point of view into my legal career.”
“The fact that I am where I am today is improbable. I owe it all to educational opportunities, many made possible through scholarships, and to Puerto Rico, where I’ve been very blessed, both personally and in business. My wife and I want to pay forward our blessings with gratitude.” Mark Davis L’75 A member of the Board of Overseers and Campaign Executive Committee, Davis, with his wife, Yoly Villamil-Davis, established the Davis-Villamil Scholarship to support first-year students, preferably of Latin descent, and ideally from Puerto Rico. The couple also supported the Campaign with a named gift for the new Davis Student Union.
Penn Law is a community of leaders, thinkers, and doers. Responding to the call of BOLD AMBITIONS, our alumni and supporters have reshaped Penn Law’s future, and indeed the future of legal education. We are developing leaders for our profession and the world.

THE GENEROUS DONORS TO BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law have invested in a distinctive vision of legal education for the 21st century. They have also invested in Penn Law’s bold, capable leadership of a changing profession that touches every part of our lives and every corner of the world. Campaign gifts have enabled a broad range of academic programs and learning opportunities. They have established professorships, scholarships, clinics, and centers. Donors have invested in our culture and in spaces throughout this tight-knit campus. They have met urgent priorities, and cleared paths for new paradigms and ways of thinking. For our students and alumni, these are the building blocks of successful careers in every field of law— serving clients and the world, seeking the best solutions, supporting business and innovation, and advancing international governance and human rights. Even as it strengthens these individual futures, the Campaign has better secured our shared future by growing the Law School endowment by 154 percent, to more than $232 million. A sizeable portion came from unrestricted gifts—a vote of confidence in the institution’s leadership and strategic thinking. By bringing us so far, donors have put us on a trajectory few could have imagined at the beginning of this century. We must continue to pursue our aspiration: a legal education unsurpassed in the world.
Penn Law faculty and leaders, students and alumni have a relentless drive to improve—and bolder ambitions still.
