BOLD AMBITIONS The CaMpaign For penn Law

Something momentous is happening here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we invite you to be part of it. At Penn Law, we are educating lawyers who will be decision-makers in resolving the major issues of our time. Legal education in this complex world requires an extraordinary assemblage of thinkers and doers. At Penn Law, we have them: eminent faculty, impassioned students, illustrious and dedicated alumni. This gives us the power to pursue the boldest of ambitions. Now, with this campaign, we take up that challenge, determined to shape the future in every way we can. Paul S. Levy Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;72 Chair, Board of Overseers Chair, Bold Ambitions: The Campaign for Penn Law

A CALL TO THE BOLD

Law is not unto itself. It is interrelated, intertwined, integrated with the whole of society. Just pick up the newspaper, tune in the news, and that fact becomes clear. The social concerns and institutions that occupy our public life — terrorism, international trade, civil liberties, intellectual property rights, health care reform, corporate governance, affirmative action — all have legal issues at their core. As a result, lawyers find themselves at the very center of decision-making that affects virtually every aspect of our lives. All around us, we see the old model of common law pushed forward by fast-spinning change, altering the way we work and the work we do. Certainly Penn Law and its graduates are experiencing this first-hand.

BOLD AMBITIONS

: The CaMpaign For penn Law

Today, Penn Law graduates work not only as attorneys, but also as policy-makers, deal-makers, corporate executives and entrepreneurs. They head multinational companies and health care institutions, advise government officials and forge market-changing mergers. They manifest a fact of 21st century life: legal analysis is increasingly the framework by which society navigates its most fundamental problems. And lawyers, properly educated, are uniquely geared to chart our course. As we prepare our students to lead in so many arenas, so, too, must the Law School advance the research that will support new ways of thinking. We must create the experiences for our students that show them the satisfactions of service in a way no classroom lecture alone can do. This is why we are launching BOLD AMBITIONS : The Campaign for Penn Law — to expand the breadth of education and the direction we offer for challenging new times. Our campaign will raise $175 million in new resources for Penn Law. Bold, yes — but then, bold ambitions make new worlds. Join us as we redefine legal education. And, in doing so, take great satisfaction in being on that cutting edge, knowing that you are helping our profession — and our society — move forward ... BOLDLY.

Penn Law has always had its share of bold ambitions that have shaped legal education nationwide. In recent years, we’ve accelerated the pace of change.

HERE IS WHAT BOLD AMBITIONS

In a distinction that sets us apart among law schools, we have worked with Penn’s other schools and academic departments to create a rich, integrated program for the study of law. Take the “Deals” course, where Penn Law and Wharton students team up to explore the mechanics and economic logic of structuring deals. In another instance of learning that integrates disciplinary perspectives, Penn Law students collaborate with medical and social work students, under the guidance of faculty from those fields, on dependency cases in Family Court.

At the foundation of that education, some things do not change. So important are the fundamentals at Penn Law that we have only tenured and tenure-track professors teaching first-year students. This is when and where students form the habits of rigorous thinking and analysis that will last them throughout their lives. At Penn Law, we look ahead with confidence and courage as we bring unmatched excellence to the work we do. We are on a bold path — and we wouldn’t be Penn Law if we did it any other way. We are excited — and determined to continue preparing leaders who can offer wise counsel for our interdependent and entwined new world.

Penn Law is the right place at the right time to educate decisionmakers who can see from multiple perspectives. We are physically adjacent, and intellectually connected, to as fine an array of law-related professional schools as you will find in the country.

We also pursue our goals within a university that is making it easy to realize BOLD AMBITIONS. While peer institutions must cross rivers and towns to find the space for expansion, Penn has acted boldly indeed. Its recent purchase of 24 acres will allow Penn to grow east to the Schuylkill River in a 30-year plan for development.

GETTING TO THE GOAL Bold as it is, Bold Ambitions is basic to our future. The foundation for our bold ambition lies in endowment — supporting faculty leadership, student aid and cross-disciplinary institutes.

Today, Tashanna shares the conviction that “there’s always a way to succeed” with the undergraduates she mentors in her recruiting for Penn Law. Why did she choose Penn Law? “You’re among great people, whether students or faculty. Not

A COLLABORATIVE CULTURE In the right place, we foster the right culture, a personalized community that makes students comfortable enough to challenge themselves and take intellectual risks.

To date, we have simply done more with less, but this strategy alone will no longer support our leadership position.

Students come here because Penn Law “feels like a different place,” a place where collegiality is a community value. Penn creates advocates, not adversaries. The Penn Law culture puts aside corrosive competition in favor of mutual respect and caring interest — to educate leaders who are for more than themselves.

Our students understand not only what lawyers can do in our society, but also how to work together with other people to get things done. Comfortable with collaboration, our faculty and students also readily reach across school boundaries to take part in, and inspire, interdisciplinary programs.

The success of Bold Ambitions will make one more thing certain: that Penn Law educates students who have not only great minds but also a larger social vision — people on whom the advancement of our civilization

department, and his grandfather had been dean of The Wharton School. “From an early age,” Mike says, “I came to appreciate the personal rewards of building an institution.” But Mike took his own road to the deanship, one that led through Harvard College and Yale Law. He honed his deep belief in public service and his ethical fortitude in the Office of Legal Counsel, which advises the White House and the Cabinet. So he brought a wide view of the world when he came back to Penn Law. Fifteen years on the faculty complemented that breadth

An education at Penn Law means classes with giants. Our alumni remember teachers like Robert Gorman, nationally recognized authority in copyright and labor law, and A.

When Mike was reappointed to the deanship in 2006, President Amy Gutmann spoke of the “outstanding success” of “his leadership” and unanimous support. “We are confident that Michael Fitts is the ideal leader to continue to take Penn Law to new heights,” she said. “He has the strong support of the School’s faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as his fellow

Today Penn Law is brimming with faculty talent that sets the School apart. Scholars and teachers like: • REGINA AUSTIN L’73, nationally recognized critical race and torts scholar. • GEOFFREY HAZARD, pre-eminent professional responsibility scholar and director emeritus of the American Law Institute. • PAUL ROBINSON, a world figure in criminal law and author of a dozen books. • EDWARD ROCK L’83, powerful thinker in corporate law and co-director of the Institute for Law and Economics.

Deans and colleagues across the University.” At this point in his tenure, Mike knows exactly what he wants to preserve about the Law School: “a rigorous but intimate environment, where our faculty delivers as fine a legal education as you will find anywhere in the country.” He also knows what he wants to change: the size of the endowment.

Witness the work of younger faculty like: • NATHANIEL PERSILY, a major figure in election law who has served as the redistricting czar for New York, Georgia and Maryland. • CATHERINE STRUVE, a prodigious civil procedure and Indian law scholar, recently appointed by Chief Justice Roberts as Reporter to the Advisory Committee on Appellate Rules. • POLK WAGNER, an intellectual property scholar who has challenged the received wisdom on intellectual property rights and stimulated national debate.

“A school is defined by its people,” says Mike, “but resources are critical in supporting both faculty and students. Imagine what we could accomplish with an endowment commensurate with the quality of our people and programs!”

founding Vice President of GSK Ventures. He established a system for smaller biotech start-ups to further develop products halted in R&D at big pharmaceutical companies. These larger companies then received an upside as a result of their equity interests in the smaller companies. All parties stand to benefit from this structure. Osagie then went on to co-found Phoenix IP Ventures, an IP Merchant Bank based in Philadelphia. His firm is engaged in private equity and venture capital transactions within the life sciences space. All his work requires the same skill set, he notes, namely, developing the concept, articulating it and actualizing it. “Legal education is a powerful basis to enable one to effectuate this process,” Osagie says. “A Penn legal education is particularly relevant due to its emphasis on and opportunity for students to take a multidisciplinary approach to the study of law.” The satisfaction of all this? The intellectual stimulation — and knowing that these ventures have brought medicines to patients in need. Osagie is also a member of the adjunct faculty at the Law School, teaching a course on Intellectual Property and National Economic Value Creation.

And we have wonderful students, who are genuinely happy to be here.” • CARY COGLIANESE, coming to Penn Law with renown in administrative and environmental law after 12 years on the faculty at Harvard: “Penn Law provides an exceptional environment for combining legal analysis and social science methods in a way that can help improve both law and society.” • SARAH PAOLETTI, heading up our new Transnational Legal Clinic: “The immigration and international human rights community is highly enthusiastic about Penn Law stepping into the arena of transnational legal practice, human rights and immigration, and the Clinic’s anticipated contribution to these important areas of advocacy.

So the Best and the Brightest Keep Coming: Endowment $65 Million The best come to Penn Law. The numbers show that. Penn Law receives almost 5,700 applications annually for roughly 240 seats in our first year J.D. class. They come to Penn Law for the faculty, the academic program, the resources of the rest of the University, for the collegial way we go about legal education. They come because they know they will leave Penn Law with the skills and knowledge to move freely into positions where they can have impact. They are recruited to the very best courts, firms, and government positions. They clerk more than ever before. Penn Law ranks second in the country in the percentage of graduates hired by the top 50 law firms.

We can do something about that. As of now, 80 percent of Penn Law students need support either through scholarships or loans. Yet Penn offers the least financial aid of the top 10 law schools.

But the reality is students often leave with soaring debt. To finance the cost of their legal education, students may graduate owing some $120,000 to $140,000. To pay it off, they often find their options narrowed, because of the need to “do well” before they can “do good.” This heavy burden also means that many of the most prized applicants will increasingly be forced to choose another law school — one where financial aid is better. Only 4-5 percent of Penn Law graduates leave the institution for careers in government and public service. They simply can’t afford, in many cases, to choose the career they might prefer.

Cross-Disciplinary Institutes: Endowment $4 Million

A Place Conducive to the Work: $15 Million

WHO CAN SEE over, through, around and above the multiple parts of today’s global and societal issues? Lawyers are uniquely called on to be at the heart of that decision-making network. At Penn Law, we have developed our curriculum to educate people in the role of integrator — and now will push forward that movement with new cross-disciplinary institutes.

PLACES MATTER. Environments can either enhance learning or hinder it.

Cross-disciplinary institutes stir new thinking and produce effective, problem-solving leaders for a highly integrated world. We know how well such institutes can work from the success of our Institute for Law and Economics (ILE), which brings together scholars, students, attorneys, judges, government officials, and leaders in the private sector. This is a jewel among corporate law and corporate government think tanks. Through BOLD AMBITIONS, we look to establish new crossdisciplinary institutes for Law and Health Sciences, Law and the Constitution, and Law and the Global Community. Each will access Penn’s full complement of faculty experts, distinguished alumni and scholars, and experts from around the world.

“Today, and when you look to cross-disciplinary work, students are not just being lectured to, but working hand-in-hand and listening to one another. The ideas come from not just the faculty, but from other students — because these are truly going to be their colleagues, their collaborators, their clients, their advisors in the future,” says Gary. Penn Law has invested heavily in facilities in the last decade, but more projects await, including major renovations to the lower floor of Silverman and Pepper Halls and to “The Goat” and adjacent areas. The environment to be created will be open, with crossroad spaces for students, faculty and staff to mingle easily and often. Already, the new sense of place is taking shape. The four large firstyear classrooms have been renovated, changing the way students see and hear each other and their professors. Each renovated classroom seats 110 people, who now look into the middle, all part of a group, rather than looking ahead to a faculty member behind a lectern.

What role did Penn Law play in his career? “Penn’s broadband view of a lawyer’s role in civil society gave a lot of us the courage — and commitment — to pursue careers that could lead a trial lawyer to be a counselor to a President, and then to help run enterprises of enormous dimension and impact. One of my great fortunes in life was to have attended the School.”

This unrestricted support is irreplaceable because it allows us to direct funds where they are most needed. Law Annual Giving has enabled us to strengthen academic programs, provide a measure of support for our students’ heavy financial burden — and do the exceptional. In that exceptional category, we were able, after Katrina, to accept, tuition-free, 12 Tulane Law School students who were displaced by the hurricane. Law Annual Giving will grow at 5 percent per year, adding $20 million to the campaign by 2010. This bold ambition is firmly rooted in the success shown in recent giving to Penn Law. In 2006, alumni and friends contributed over $3 million in unrestricted annual giving.

The Gittis Center for Clinical Legal Studies The Gittis Center gives students practical experience in every major lawyering role through faculty-supervised casework. From mediation and civil practice to criminal defense, students can explore areas of specialization and hone their skills across areas of practice. The Clinic has attracted a 50 percent increase in student enrollment in the past five years — telling us we need to be ready to serve even greater numbers. BOLD AMBITIONS will give us the support to expand this remarkable program.

emerged victorious, too. As founder and co-president of the National Women’s Law Center, she has used litigation and legislation initiatives to fight gender inequalities on every front: employment, education, family, economic security, health and reproductive rights. Her education at Penn Law prepared her well. “From Con Law to Tax Law, from spirited moot courts to challenging seminars, I credit the Law School and its extraordinary faculty for giving me the training and, even more important, the

The Institute for Law and Economics Formed in 1980, this Institute stands as a gold standard in crossdisciplinary scholarship and teaching, integrating business and legal perspectives through a collaboration of the Law School, The Wharton School, and the department of economics in Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences. The Institute’s potential is limitless — as long as we can fuel its brilliance with more resources. More funding will advance ILE’s scholarship and its public role, convening roundtables, conferences and research that shape public policy.

Biddle Law Library What could be more fundamental to the quality of Penn Law? We can never afford to shortchange our library. Every student and faculty member depends on the quality and currency of this vital resource. As we must constantly add print and electronic resources, costs rise quickly. Generous donors have recently allowed Biddle Law Library to develop an outstanding collection of international legal material, and added funding will support a wide range of other specific subject interests.

inspiration I needed to succeed,” Marcia recalls. After decades of legal combat, Marcia finds no foe too intimidating — not even, perhaps especially, in a challenging political climate. With many of the Center’s hard-won gains being challenged today, she remains resilient and committed. “Even in tough times, we can find ways to maneuver and put our agenda forward,” she says. And she remembers to think of what Martin Luther King said: “The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”

strongly supported Penn Law’s growth and expansion to its current eminence. Some gifts have a magnitude that attracts deserved attention: the $12 million gift of Robert Toll L’66 and Jane Toll to support student scholarships for those intending to pursue public service work and to support loan forgiveness to our graduates working in the public service arena; the $6.2 million gift of Paul Levy L’72 and Karen Levy to support the Levy Scholars Program; and the Howard Gittis W’55, L’58 endowment of $5 million. But every gift of every size is essential. All penetrate into the life of the Law School, keeping it vibrantly alive and vigorously moving forward. Every gift influences the work we can do and how well we can do it. The future of Penn Law very much depends on our alumni and friends. What a time to be part of something momentous. To take opportunity at its offering, and commit to being part of an important institutional moment. We’re not saying that our WORK TOGETHER will transform the whole course of civilization. Just our own piece of it.
