welcome FROM THE DEAN Ronald Weich

Let’s face it — Baltimore has a reputation. This city is known for many wonderful things: the Inner Harbor, the Orioles and Ravens, worldclass arts institutions, historic neighborhoods, authentic dive bars and some of the most exciting universities in the country, including ours. But it is also known for crime, drugs and mean streets. Recently the rougher aspects of Baltimore’s reputation have predominated. The death of Freddie Gray in police custody, and the unrest that followed, reinforced the impression of Baltimore as the violent city of Homicide and The Wire. For a week in late April, Americans were treated to 24/7 images of a burning drug store, frustrated young people and a curfew enforced by the National Guard. “Baltimore is burning,” CNN intoned. Those of us who were here know the coverage was overblown. On one tense night — Monday April 27 — anger turned to violence in some neighborhoods. Yet in the days that followed, conﬂagration was replaced by peaceful demonstrations and constructive dialogue. Certainly Baltimore faces challenges, including persistent pockets of poverty, a diminished economic base and pervasive distrust of law enforcement in communities of color. So do too many other U.S. cities. But for that week in April, it was Baltimore’s turn to symbolize the problems of urban America on cable TV and talk radio. What does all this have to do with our law school? Everything. We are proud of who we are:

| 2 | Baltimore Law

the University of Baltimore. We are not just in the city. We are of the city. Our school is located in the heart of this great old town. It is an integral part of the city’s past and present and will help shape its future. Our graduates preside in courtrooms, boardrooms and conference rooms across the city. The president of our university is a former three-term mayor of Baltimore. Local lawyers and judges teach UB students the value of expanding access to justice. Our clinics provide legal services to vulnerable populations throughout the city. In other words, our law school has an opportunity and a responsibility to make Baltimore a better place. This issue of Baltimore Law explores some of the many ways our law school is woven into the fabric of the city. You’ll read about UB alumni working to expand economic vitality and social justice through their work in the city’s law firms, government offices and nonprofit organizations. You’ll learn about law school graduates making the city beautiful through efforts as varied as art projects and real estate investing. Freddie Gray’s tragic death and the events that followed have only intensified the importance of our law school’s role. When Attorney General Loretta Lynch came to Baltimore to meet with community leaders, she came to UB. Our professors have been at the forefront of public commentary about legal and social issues in the city. And our alumni, including the two impressive women on our cover, are on both sides of the criminal justice system in Baltimore. We are positioned to help shape changes in law and policy that emerge from this period of ferment. I am not a native Baltimorean. But in the three years since I became dean of the UB School of Law I’ve come to love Baltimore. I’m fascinated by its rich legal history, its dynamic municipal politics and its vibrant cultural life. I appreciate more than ever the central role our school plays in this extraordinary city.

baltimorebriefs Quoting Archimedes and Jerry Garcia, A.G. Frosh tells grads to ‘move the world’

aryland Attorney General

Brian Frosh, the UB School of Law’s commencement speaker, urged the new graduates to use their legal education as a lever to lift society. “Thousands of years ago, the scholar Archimedes said, ‘Give me a place to stand and I will move the world,’” Frosh told the 275-strong Class of 2015. “He was talking about leverage, and at the University of Baltimore School of Law you have crafted a powerful lever — and you will carry it with you for the rest of your lives,” Frosh continued. “The laws on which our nation and state are built are your fulcrum. And, without a doubt, we know the world needs to be moved. In fact, the evidence is right outside the window. “Less than a mile from here, our neighbors, our friends, our families struggle to build productive lives as they navigate poverty, discrimination,

unemployment, health challenges and environmental threats. In block after block of Baltimore, in neighborhoods like Sandtown-Winchester, the ills of urban America choke our communities in a painful grip. Poisoning from lead paint, drug use, crime conspire to shorten lives, dampen opportunity and crush futures.” Frosh ended with a quote from Jerry Garcia, the late lead guitarist of the

Grateful Dead. (“If you don’t know the Grateful Dead, you’d better Google it,” Frosh advised the packed house at The Lyric. “It’s something you need to know.”) “Jerry Garcia said: ‘Somebody’s got to do something. It’s just incredibly pathetic that it’s got to be us.’ “It does have to be us,” Frosh concluded. “You now have a place to stand. Move the world.”

Justice Department lawyers hear from residents about Baltimore police

he University of Baltimore School of Law was the site of a June 25 public meeting led by lawyers from the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice who are investigating Baltimore’s police department. The attorneys are examining whether Baltimore police have engaged in a pattern or practice of violating residents’ constitutional rights or in discriminatory policing. After introductory remarks by Dean Joseph Curtis Professor of Law F. MICHAEL HIGGINBOTHAM, Civil Rights Division chief Vanita Gupta and Tim Mygatt, special counsel to the Civil Rights Division leading the investigation, the Justice Department lawyers met with individuals and small groups of Baltimore residents to hear about their experiences with the Baltimore police. The meeting came on the heels of unrest in Baltimore following the death in police custody of 25-yearold Freddie Gray. However, Mygatt said the Justice Department probe was not prompted by Gray’s death, which he called a “piece of the investigation.” “We don’t open an investigation because of one incident,” Mygatt told the audience in the Angelos Law Center’s moot courtroom. “It’s not just a single incident, it’s not just a single event. It’s something we’re hearing from a whole variety of sources to make sure we have good cause Tim Mygatt, special counsel to the U.S. Departand reasonable cause to ment of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, addressed investigate.” Baltimore residents at the Angelos Law Center Mygatt said the investion June 25. Mygatt is leading the department’s investigation of the Baltimore police force. gation, which could take more than a year to complete, would entail interviews with police officers and citizens, as well as a review of thousands of documents and sophisticated data analysis. The meeting followed a May 5 appearance at the University of Baltimore by U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who met with law enforcement officials and student leaders. Earlier, on April 28, Civil Rights Division attorneys met with Baltimore-area faith leaders at the Angelos Law Center. Associate Dean VICKI SCHULTZ, J.D. ’89, who served as a deputy assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division from 2009–12, participated in the meeting.

Making Headlines

law student Caylin Young, the 2015–16 chair of the National Black Law Students Association, published an op-ed in The Baltimore Sun on May 2, days after riots rocked parts of Baltimore. Wrote Young: “As long as this racial caste system exists in America, we will continue to see what Malcolm X described as ‘reactions against police brutality.’ . . . Let me be clear, violence is unacceptable. However, I do not have to condone it to understand from whence it originates. As stated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., ‘A riot is the language of the unheard.’” Professor David Jaros was quoted at length in a May 6 article in The Atlantic, “Can the Baltimore Prosecutor Win Her Case? A law professor says Marilyn Mosby may have overcharged officers in Freddie Gray’s death, but that’s common with ordinary defendants.” Said Jaros: “I love how surprised people are by the fact that a prosecutor may have overcharged. This is something prosecutors do all the time, as a strategic choice, for various reasons, and it’s ironic that suddenly the [Fraternal Order of Police] is up in arms over this.” Dean Ronald Weich was quoted July 16 in a Washington Post story on the human toll of the government’s decades-long war on drugs and on the particular damage done by mandatoryminimum sentences. Weich, a special counsel to the U.S. Sentencing Commission in the late 1980s, told the Post that mandatoryminimum sentences were about math, not people: “These laws forced judges to look at their calculators instead of into the eyes of the defendants they were sentencing. They weren’t allowed to ask, ‘How did they get to this point in their lives?’ and ‘Who were they going to be in five or 20 years?’ ” Fall 2015 | 5 |

New café offers coffee and job skills for youth

Salwa Khan, Leon Palmer, Darious Woodland, Matthew Silver and Elijah Griggs at the Flying Fruit Café at the Angelos Law Center.

he smell of coffee and the buzz of excited voices emanate from the new café on the sixth floor of the John and Frances Angelos

Law Center. Young people in aprons make coffee, bake muffins and work the cash register with a professionalism that belies the fact that they’ve been doing this for only a few weeks. A partnership between the UB School of Law and UMBC’s Choice Program, the Flying Fruit Café offers not just coffee, muffins and other snacks. It also provides jobs and job-training and personal-development skills to young people, most of them from Baltimore City. Choice Jobs, which works with youngsters referred by the

Maryland Department of Juvenile Services who need support and supervision in the community, provides crucial work background. “We want to give young people an experience that is going to allow them to go out and get another job,” said stephen Marengo, a business development specialist with Choice. An expansion of the Choice Jobs sites at Camden Yards and the Inner Harbor, the law center café will expose the youngsters to people at the university they might otherwise not meet. “Those types of possibilities are truly exciting,” Marengo said. The youngsters, between 14 and 21, are supervised by AmeriCorps members, including salwa Khan, a 2015 University of Baltimore graduate. “It’s so much fun,” said Khan, who majored in criminal justice and wants to become a probation officer. “I’m excited to come work with the kids. They just light up the environment.” Cameron Morton, polite and self-possessed at 14, says he’s the only one of his friends who has a job. The Afya Public Charter School student, who often takes coffee orders and works the cash register, says he is saving up to buy an electric skateboard. “I’m going to take a little bit out of every check,” he said. Also behind the counter, naieel lett and Taylor Daniels say they don’t like coffee, even though they make a mean cup of joe. “The first time I had espresso it was nasty,” said Lett, 17. “I didn’t like it.” “I can’t drink it,” said Daniels, 16. “It’s just like poison.” But their colleague lee Palmer, 20, is open to novel experiences. “I just like to try out new things,” he said of the job and, perhaps, coffee. “It’s very awesome.”

‘Mr. Civil righTs’: On Sept. 19, 2014, the law school hosted a screening of Mr. Civil Rights: Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP, a documentary ﬁlm by MiCK CaoUeTTe about the early career of the Baltimore-born Supreme Court justice. University of Baltimore President KUrT l. sChMoKe delivered comments before the ﬁlm, which was followed by a panel discussion.

students

n BLSA SUCCESSES: Two UB law

students were named to top positions in the National Black Law Students Association at the group’s 47th annual convention, held in Portland, Ore., in March. 3L Caylin Young is the 2015–16 national chair and 3L Sheena Williams is the 2015–16 national director of community service. UB’s chapter of BLSA was the runner-up for best chapter in the nation, behind Harvard Law School’s, and for the third year in a row it was named the most outstanding student organization at the UB School of Law (it was tied this year with the Entertainment, Arts & Sports Law Association). n ‘SERIAL’ PANEL: On Feb. 12, the

Student Bar Association presented “Serial: The Presumption of Guilt,” a panel discussion led by then-SBA President Michael Sellitto about the events detailed in the hugely popular Serial podcast, which examined the 1999 murder of Baltimore County high school student Hae Min Lee and the two trials and ultimate conviction of Adnan Syed, her former boyfriend. The panelists included Justin Brown, attorney for Syed, and Rabia Chaudry, the lawyer and Syed family friend who brought the case to the attention of Serial host and producer Sarah Koenig. The Maryland Court of Special Appeals ruled in February that Syed could appeal his conviction on the grounds that his original attorney provided ineffective counsel. Syed maintains the lawyer did not call a witness who could have provided an alibi for him. n REGENTS STUDENT REP: Law student Sydney Comitz was nominated by Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan to serve as the student representative to the University System of Maryland Board of Regents. In May 2015, Comitz graduated from UB’s Merrick School of Business with a B.S. in business administration and completed her first year of legal

SHANNONHOUSE HONOR SOCIETY:

Student Aiste Palskyte, pictured above with Dean Ronald Weich, was among 20 students inducted into the Royal Graham Shannonhouse III Honor Society in February 2015. The honor society was established in 2014 to recognize students who have distinguished themselves academically after the completion of 32 credits. The minimum grade point average requirement for induction is 3.15. Palskyte, who was a 2L, was among three inductees honored as distinguished scholars for having a GPA of 3.7 or higher.

studies at the UB School of Law. A former president of UB’s Student Government Association, Comitz began her one-year term on the board on July 1. n NEWSMAKERS: Kellye Beathea,

J.D. ’15, contributed a column to The Daily Record on May 15, “Providing legal services for veterans,” in which she discussed her experiences as a student-attorney in The Bob Parsons Veterans Advocacy Clinic and the contributions of law school clinics nationwide. Wrote Beathea: “What distinguishes these clinics from other veterans’ service organizations is the amount of time students dedicate to conducting research and advocating for their clients. Taking on the most complex cases, students are able to examine every issue and provide comprehensive advice to veterans.” The work of Alexandra Rickart, a fellow at UB’s Center for International and Comparative Law, was featured in an April 7 Daily Record story, “Law students partner with Swiss organization to track war criminals.” Rickart and four other CICL students worked with TRIAL,

or Tracking Impunity Always, a nongovernmental organization that researches and publishes reports about alleged or convicted war criminals. Rickart, now a 3L spending the fall semester studying in London, researched the case of Serbian police officer Sladjan Cukaric, who was prosecuted for his role in a 1999 attack on Albanian civilians in Kosovo. n AFRO-PARAGUAYAN RIGHTS:

LL.M. LOTUS student Silvia Diaz de Moore traveled to her home country of Paraguay this summer to watch as legislation recognizing the historic and cultural contributions of AfroParaguayans, which Diaz de Moore wrote and lobbied for, was signed into law. September 23 will be declared AfroParaguayan Day, a significant achievement, according to Diaz de Moore, who said many Afro-Paraguayans have struggled to gain recognition for their heritage. Diaz de Moore, who earned a law degree in Paraguay, worked for more than nine years in that nation’s Attorney General’s Office. Fall 2015 | 7 |

Warnken Sums Up Still teaching after four decades, he hands over moot court reins

fter 40 years, multiple regional and national successes and too many briefs to count, Professor Byron l. WarnKen, J.D. ’77, is handing over the leadership of the School of Law’s storied moot court program. Professor John Bessler is the new faculty adviser. (But be advised: Warnken will never stop teaching at UB.) Countless students have gone through the rigorous moot court program under Warnken and can testify that it helped them arrive where they are today. But it can be a grueling experience. Why do students go through it? Simple, said Warnken: commitment. The commitment to the program plus the experience itself provide lessons that can be gained nowhere else in law school, he said. “Students will argue in class, they’ll take a position on something, but they probably haven’t dealt with a sophisticated legal problem in law school, and they haven’t worked as a team on a brief or spent serious time on oral argument,”

Warnken said. “The moot experience is about learning how to manipulate a court — but it’s also about listening to what the court is telling you. In that setting, in front of these judges, you learn to feel the room.” To join UB’s moot court teams — there are 19 in the 2015–16 academic year — students take part in the Byron L. Warnken Annual Moot Court Competition, in which they write appellate briefs and give oral presentations. Typically, 40 to 50 students are accepted each semester. Moot court helps students hone a set of courtroom skills and deepen their knowledge of the record and the law, Warnken said. In particular, it helps them learn how to deal with judges. “You don’t want to be in front of these judges, talking, and suddenly find yourself saying: ‘Oh, that’s a good question! I never thought of that!’” he said. To reduce the potential for such a scenario, Warnken put his teams through their paces. Lots of paces. Nine moot sessions per case.

As students’ confidence and understanding grow, so does their ability to respond effectively to a judge who asks a tough, left-field question, Warnken said: “You have to be able to say in answer: ‘That would be a good question, your honor, if this were another case. But it’s not the case before you today.” From an underprepared lawyer, such a statement would be arrogant, not to mention foolish, Warnken said. But when UB moot court students have had the temerity to say such a thing, they’ve known what they were talking about — and the judges heard them out. That’s because UB’s teams read hundreds of pages of case record and practice relentlessly for oral arguments. “Putting together any appeal for trial, there is no shortcut for preparation,” Warnken said. Alumnus aDaM rUTher, J.D. ’08, an associate at Rosenberg Martin Greenberg and a former assistant state’s attorney for Baltimore City, said the impact of moot court under Warnken “can’t be overstated.”

The region iii competition of the 2015 national Moot Court Competition will be held at the University of Baltimore school of law on nov. 14 and 15. it will be the law school’s 14th year as the regional host. Pictured are last year’s UB moot court members.

“Because of Byron’s work, [moot court] is a real educational opportunity,” Ruther said, adding that Warnken’s criminal law class inspired him to become a trial lawyer. (Another inspiration was Ruther’s father, Neil J. Ruther, J.D. ’76, a lawyer in Baltimore and a UB law classmate of Warnken’s.) Warnken may have driven his charges to practice, practice, practice — but he did not steer them as they prepared their cases. National moot court rules prohibit team advisers from stage-managing arguments or strategies. Warnken described his role as coach, teacher and mentor. “I’m on your side, but I’m not going

to interfere with the work,” is how he summed up his approach. “Let them argue and use that as a teaching tool.” Warnken did, however, remind students that judges are human — and that they can be impressed. He recalled a competition in pre-Internet days, when a just-announced Supreme Court decision proved integral to the case at hand. While the court had published its decision, none of the student competitors had read it. But a UB team member’s girlfriend was in Washington and was quickly sent to pick up a copy. “She provided us with the opinion and the team member drove it back to

the competition where UB was arguing,” Warnken recalled. “It was favorable to our side, so you can imagine the reaction when the student said, ‘Your honor, I have a copy of the Supreme Court’s decision with me.’ Very satisfying.” It’s also satisfying to know his charges have gone on to fulfilling legal careers. Adam Ruther, for one, is doing what he loves — working as a trial attorney in Baltimore City — and gives Warnken and UB’s moot court program a great deal of credit. Said Ruther in a telephone interview: “I’m in my office looking out over the Baltimore skyline, and it’s because of moot court and Byron. My career starts there.” Fall 2015 | 11 |

giving Their all UB law alumni make a difference in Baltimore

altimore is more than the city the nation saw through the media’s lens this spring, when disturbances broke out after Freddie Gray’s death. UB law alumni who live and work here have a deep appreciation for this dynamic town, which is not known as Charm City for nothing.

And they are devoted to helping shape its future. This commitment to Baltimore is central to the UB School of Law’s

mission and is a hallmark of how UB law alumni engage with their city. Our alums contribute to the vitality of Baltimore in many ways: by taking pro-bono cases; by mentoring students and by raising money for students’ access to college; by helping just-released inmates learn to navigate the outside world; by investing in homes in city neighborhoods; by unleashing the power of artistic expression. What they all have in common is a core belief that the city will flourish when all its citizens have a chance to succeed.

‘‘

CollegeBound has a long success record of people going through the program and becoming doctors, lawyers, politicians. it’s exactly the kind of organization that’s needed in Baltimore post-Freddie gray.” —David Shuster Here are the stories of nine UB law alums who give back to Baltimore through their jobs and volunteer work. We’re proud of them and we’re proud to be Baltimore’s law school.

anDi PUPKin, J.D. ’87, is the executive director of Art With a Heart, a Baltimore-based group that enhances the lives of people in need through visual art. On a mid-July morning, several young people sit outside in the shade decorating furniture at Art With a Heart’s HeARTwares retail outlet in Hampden. A young man paints Dr. Seuss’s Thing One and Thing Two on a tabletop. Nearby, a teenage girl covers a chair seat in glimmering shades. Staff members and volunteers stop and talk to the artists, while inside more teenagers and young 20somethings paint in an airy room lined with artwork for sale. During the unrest, Pupkin opened HeARTwares as a “safe space” for young Baltimoreans. “People came in and out all day,” she said. Pupkin, a Baltimore native, remembers the riots here in 1968. She also recalls

seeing white people protesting the integration of the Milford Mills Swim Club that year. She was only 6, but it was a turning point in her life. “That defining day in front of the swim club was the day I decided to change the world,” Pupkin said. By the time she was in high school, Pupkin had chosen law as the way to make a difference. Fast forward two decades to 2001. After working as a lawyer for 14 years, Pupkin felt she hadn’t lived up to her vow to herself. She decided to marry her legal knowledge and love of art with her goal of helping Baltimore. It was a jump into the unknown, but Pupkin went to her law office, incorporated Art With a Heart and began making cold calls. Her first clients were two group homes for emotionally troubled adolescent boys, the House of Ruth Maryland and an Alzheimer’s facility. The legwork paid off. The group, which started on a $6,000 shoestring, last year reported an annual budget of $1 million. From four classes a week, Art With a Heart now offers 10,000 classes a year to

organizations throughout the Baltimore area. Today she’s making a difference as “a lawyer who runs an art organization,” said Pupkin, whose daughter, Jessica, began law school at UB in August. Art offers young people a respite from the harshness of life in Baltimore’s roughest neighborhoods, Pupkin says: “I think art can help because it lets people dream. It gives them space that they don’t otherwise have in their life.” And, she adds, it’s not just the art that helps: “It’s everything that happens around creating the art. The young people are cared for by people who want to elevate.”

aTe WolFson, J.D. ’12, the director of the Public Safety Compact at Baltimore’s Safe & Sound Campaign, credits her UB law education with teaching her the importance of helping others. “The overall philosophy of the school was about giving back,” said Wolfson, who worked as the volunteer coordinator for the Homeless Persons Representation Project while she was a student, training nearly 200 other students to do intake interviews. She is vocal about the hardships suffered by many in Baltimore. “The barriers that people face in this city are insane and often insurmountable,” Wolfson said. “Many people wind up in the criminal justice system because they’re desperate and they’ve given up.” Wolfson is out to change that through her work with Public Safety Compact, or PSC, an agreement between nonprofit groups — led by Safe & Sound — and the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. The goal is to improve the lives of participants through drug treatment and other therapies, while saving tax dollars by shortening prison sentences and lowering recidivism rates. Since 2010, nearly 300 PSC inmates have graduated from the program. PSC graduates’ recidivism rate is 9 percent after three years out, compared to the

state rate of 40.5 percent for those released in 2009, Safe & Sound data show. “I love waking up in the morning knowing that I get to help people every day,” Wolfson said.

Bony ThoMPson, J.D. ’13, an asso-

ciate at Venable who specializes in complex litigation, gives back by investing in the city — literally. She owns property in the Hanlon Park/Garwyn Oaks area of the city, where her parents still live in the house she grew up in and where she has her own house. “I’m excited about Baltimore,” Thompson said. “If you’re paying property taxes, you start caring about what goes on in your neighborhood. As people become more invested in the city, they have a stronger commitment to the community.” After earning an undergraduate degree in economics from Brown University in 2000, Thompson worked in New York for UBS Global Asset Management, providing wealth-management services to international clients. Returning to Baltimore in 2006, she started her own real-estate firm, which she ran until beginning law school in 2010. Thompson is also on the board of

Stocks in the Future, which teaches financial literacy to middle school students in Baltimore. “It teaches them how to invest, how to build a portfolio, how to read a prospectus,” Thompson said. “They earn dollars through attendance and by being on time.” At the end of the program, the students receive stocks in which their money has been invested. In addition, Thompson is active in the Baltimore chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, working on its economic development committee and taking part in workshops that teach prospective homebuyers how to purchase property in the city and how to find grants to help with down payments and closing costs. She also serves on the advisory board of the UB School of Law’s Fannie Angelos Program for Academic Excellence, which prepares students from Maryland’s historically black colleges and universities for law school and legal careers. Said Thompson: “When you receive, you give back.”

aviD J. shUsTer, J.D. ’94, managing principal at Kramon & Graham, says that at UB, “giving back was part of

the expectation.” Today, Shuster serves on the executive committee of the Lawyers’ Campaign for CollegeBound, which helps Baltimore City public school students apply to and attend college. In 2013, roughly 1,900 students were accepted to two- and fouryear colleges and universities with the help of CollegeBound. “It’s one of the most effective organizations in Baltimore that makes an immediate, tangible difference to high school students,” Shuster said. “It identifies students who can succeed in college but don’t have either the financial resources or home support to go to college.” CollegeBound — which UB President KUrT l. sChMoKe helped found in 1988, when he was the mayor of Baltimore — also pitches in when scholarships aren’t quite enough. “Typically there’s still a financial gap, so the program provides lastminute grants to fill the gaps,” Shuster said. “It has a long success record of people going through the program and becoming doctors, lawyers, politicians. It’s exactly the kind of organization that’s needed in Baltimore post-Freddie Gray.” Shuster pointed to a recent College-

‘‘

I decided to be a public defender. i saw that public defenders help people at the worst time of their lives and I wanted to be the one to help them. I was not able to save my brother. But I like to think that I help bring other people’s brothers back home.”

Bound success story: aMBer nolley, J.D. ’14, graduated from Carver Vocational-

Technical High School in 2007 and went on to Stevenson University before enrolling at the UB School of Law. “Amber just finished clerking for Judge Robert Kershaw on the Circuit Court for Baltimore City,” Shuster said.

TUarT KaPloW, J.D. ’84, also works with Baltimore City students, through Building STEPS, a nonprofit that exposes young people to science-based careers. Kaplow, a solo practitioner whose firm specializes in real estate law, is proud of Building STEPS. “Eighty-four percent of [participants] earn a college degree,” Kaplow said. “Almost all of them were the first person in their family to earn one.” Today, more than 100 students are taking part in the program and 350 graduates attend colleges around the

country, Kaplow added. Recently Kaplow had a chance to help a former Building STEPS student close on a house in Baltimore. “She had been a single mother in high school,” he said. “Now she has a master’s degree and works for the federal government. Nothing made me happier than helping her close on that house.”

hrisToPher r. rahl, J.D. ’96, a

member of Gordon Feinblatt’s financial services practice, also helps young people pursue their education. “I heard UB President Kurt Schmoke give a speech saying that education was the most important thing that can help a community,” said Rahl, who served as a mentor at Saint Ignatius Loyola Academy, an independent Baltimore middle school for boys with academic promise but difficult home lives, and

with Operation HOPE, which teaches financial literacy to young people. And, for nearly two decades, Rahl has taken from six to 10 pro-bono cases a year through the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service, on whose board he serves. For his longtime commitment, Rahl received the Distinguished Pro Bono Volunteer Award from the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland at this year’s Maryland State Bar Association annual meeting. Said Rahl: “Every single client was someone who was really stuck.”

helps Baltimoreans through her job as the division chief of the Post Conviction Defenders Division (formerly the Collateral Review Division) at the Maryland Office of the Public Defender. Feldman works primarily with lifers, mostly men who were sentenced to

prison before 1980. “After someone is convicted of a crime and sentenced, they have a right to a review of the entire trial through Maryland’s Post Conviction Act,” Feldman said. “With 20,000 inmates in Maryland, we have a huge caseload. One of the biggest issues we see is ineffective assistance of counsel.” Hundreds of elderly men languish in Maryland prisons, Feldman said. In the last two years her office has freed more than 100 people convicted in the 1960s and ’70s. Roughly 70 percent were from Baltimore City. Feldman didn’t set out to become a public defender. In her first year of law school, her 22-year-old brother, Leonard “Lenny” Kling Jr., was shot and killed during a robbery in Baltimore City. Two young men, 17 and 20, were arrested and convicted of murder. Not surprisingly, Feldman set her sights on becoming a prosecutor. But her legal career took a different direction. “I decided to be a public defender,” Feldman said. “I saw that public defenders help people at the worst time of their lives and I wanted to be the one to help them. I was not able to save my brother. But I like to think that I help bring other people’s brothers back home.” A 2014 op-ed that Feldman co-wrote for The Washington Post emphasizes that prisoners — people — change: “That a person committed a serious crime as a teenager or young adult does not tell Stuart Kaplow, J.D. ’84

us what he or she will be like at age 50 or 60. Admittedly, some people who are dangerous when they are 17 are still dangerous when they are 70. But this is the exception, not the rule.” Feldman says she is as much a social worker as a lawyer. “I just don’t go to court,” she said. “I ensure my client has a release plan, drug rehabilitation, anything to make sure that when they come home they succeed.” Dean Julius Isaacson Professor of Law sTeven grossMan played a key role in changing her mind about what kind of legal work she would pursue, Feldman said. “He really challenged the way I thought about prosecution, the justice system and plea bargaining,” she said. “That’s when I found out I was defenseoriented.”

yshala MiDDleTon, J.D. ’10, a prosecutor for the Baltimore State’s Attorney Office, says she is frequently asked by schoolchildren why she isn’t a defense attorney. “I tell them it’s just as important to be a prosecutor,” she said. “There are some people who should go to prison for the rest of their lives because of the heinous acts they commit.” But, she says, not everyone should be incarcerated. Some people who run into trouble with the law simply need help, whether for drug addiction or for mentalhealth problems. Christopher R. Rahl, J.D. ’96

“You don’t throw the book at them,” Middleton said. “You have to be fair.” Outside of work, Middleton volunteers at My Sister’s Place Women’s Center and Our Daily Bread, both shelters run by Catholic Charities. She also serves on the board of the Samaritan Community in Bolton Hill. “It’s a program that helps people in crisis,” whether they’re facing eviction or are in need of food or transportation, she said. “If you need help [we] will help you, and you don’t need to be from Bolton Hill.” Also, as part of a spring service project by the MSBA’s Leadership Academy, Middleton took part in a pro-bono business “boot camp” in the Waverly area of the city. “The goal was to educate smallbusiness owners or people thinking about starting a small business,” Middleton said. “After the riots we added insurance as a topic, since so many small businesses were damaged and didn’t have sufficient coverage. Our project was really key.”

UDge MarK sCUrTi, J.D. ’91 states his career goal simply: “I went to law school because I wanted to help people.” “I was attracted to law because of my sense of helplessness as an activist trying to make change,” said Scurti, who attended UB as a night student while working in hotel sales and marketing. As a student he helped create OUTLaw, the LGBT student organization. Scurti, who is involved in numerous extracurricular projects, was honored in 2005 by the Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service for his 10-year commitment to pro-bono representation and again in 2011, when he won the group’s Volunteer of the Year award. On the bench since 2013, Scurti can no longer do pro-bono legal work. Today he serves on the court’s Access to Justice Commission. “That’s been personally for me one of the most significant ways of giving back,” he said. “It’s crucial that people have access to the system.” Fall 2015 | 17 |

AWARD-WINNING TRIO

Shows Range of Student Body

By Hope Keller

seasoned professional, a recent immigrant, a former captain in the Marines. Among the 275 graduates in the Class of 2015, MereDiTh CiPriano, JerMaine ryan haUghTon and DaviD shaFer stood out. They also illustrated the diversity of the

UB School of Lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student body.

Cipriano, who worked full time as a policy analyst for Western Union while attending law school at night, received a law faculty award at commencement, as did Haughton, who was raised in poverty in Jamaica and decided at 10 to become a lawyer to help his family. Shafer, a former Marine captain who did tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, graduated as the valedictorian.

avid Shafer grew up on Kent Island and attended the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, N.Y. Immediately upon graduation, in 2005, he enlisted in the Marine Corps, realizing a dream he’d had since childhood. It was during deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan that the law came onto his radar, said Shafer, explaining that two military lawyers traveled with his units. Six years later, after he’d left the service, Shafer picked up U.S. News & World Report’s school rankings issue and had a crazy idea: He’d take the LSAT “just to see what would happen.” He did well and in early 2012 began looking at law schools — including UB. He was impressed to learn that ronalD WeiCh was in the running for the deanship. “I knew his background was nontraditional,” Shafer said, adding that he assumed Weich would get the job. He also could relate to Weich’s nonacademic background: “My career trajectory is not theoretical but toward the practical.” The inside glimpse, plus the offer of a scholarship, sold Shafer on UB, where he wound up serving as editor in chief of the Law Review and working as a student-attorney in the new Bob Parsons Veterans Advocacy Clinic. Shafer, who graduated summa cum laude, appreciates the hands-on education he received. “People are here to learn to be a practitioner,” he said. “Their main motivation is not to be better than someone else, but to learn how to be an effective attorney and how to practice.” Shafer said UB also helped him forge important relationships with alumni, including aManDa WeBsTer, J.D. ’13, an associate at Saul Ewing, and Barry levin, J.D. ’84, the firm’s managing partner. Shafer begins as an associate at Saul Ewing this fall. He also spoke admiringly of Professor Dionne Koller, who he said pushed her civil procedure students hard to succeed. Said the former Marine: “She is terrifying in every justifiable way.”

eredith Cipriano worked as a lobbyist on Capitol Hill before taking a job with Western Union, where she advised tech-company clients about the virtual payments industry. The realization that she would eventually hit a career ceiling at Western Union pushed her to enroll in law school, Cipriano said: “The better I did, I could see I’d need a J.D. When we would talk about policy or specific pieces of legislation, I realized I wasn’t understanding the full implications.” From 2011 to 2015 Cipriano worked full time while attending law school at night, racing out of her office in Washington at 4 p.m. to catch the MARC train to Baltimore. The Angelos Law Center’s proximity to Baltimore’s Penn Station made the commute “doable,” Cipriano said. “I’d get there with enough time to get a coffee.” She credits Professor Byron WarnKen, J.D. ’77, with teaching her how to succeed. “My first-year grades were OK but not great. And then I got an A+ in his [criminal law] class,” Cipriano said. “I did that because I listened to how he told us to study, how he told us to prepare for class. I took that lesson learned and applied it in every class.” Cipriano, who served as managing editor of the Law Review in 2013–14 and graduated summa cum laude, says she also received great support from Dean Weich. “Dean Weich was so encouraging,” she said, citing several one-on-one meetings with him. “The encouragement and the support I got is indicative of [that from] the entire administration and the entire faculty. If you work hard here, people at all levels will get behind you and try to put you where it is that you want to go.” Cipriano, who grew up in Charles Town, W. Va., has accepted a position at Morrison Foerster in Washington, where she will work in the financial services department.

ermaine Ryan Haughton knew he wanted to be a lawyer as a child in Clarendon, Jamaica, where he was raised by his maternal grandmother, Bevoly Mcleod. Walking home from school, Haughton said, he would look toward his family’s cinderblock house to see if smoke was coming from the outdoor stove. “If there was no smoke we might not be eating a meal that night,” he said. Haughton, who graduated magna cum laude this year, was determined to improve his family’s circumstances. “I want to make life better not just for me but for my family, but especially for my grandmother,” he said. "I consider her my hero. Even when we were hungry, she still made us laugh.” The idea of becoming a lawyer occurred to Haughton when he was 10. A teacher — “who I loved, by the way,” he said — was preparing to whack another student with a ruler when it struck Jermaine in the eye. “I was thinking to myself, ‘Maybe we should sue the school board for this,’” Haughton said. “It got me to thinking, maybe I want to be a lawyer.” After moving to Maryland to be with his father, Haughton finished high school in Bowie and went on to the University of Maryland, College Park, where he graduated with a major in philosophy and a minor in rhetoric. “I got annoying to my roommates and people in the halls,” he said. “I’d walk around thinking that I’m Socrates, presenting these hypothetical situations, seeing how they’d respond. I was always a curious kid.” Haughton’s grandmother seconds that. “He asks you a lot of questions and he needs answers,” McLeod said of the young Jermaine. “If the answer is not correct, he’s going to ask you that question again.” Haughton — who served as treasurer and then president of UB’s chapter of the Black Law Students Association and as a staff editor and associate editor of the Law Forum — will start this fall at Miles & Stockbridge, where he will focus on product liability issues.

WHY I GIVE: I give back because UB provided me with a great foundation for practicing law and I want to support the next generation of future lawyers. I recently donated in honor of the retirement of Professor Arnold Rochvarg, who taught me the fundamentals of criminal law, administrative law and professional responsibility and provided invaluable career advice while I was in law school.”

WHY I GIVE: Looking back on 40 years of law practice and marriage, three children and nine grandchildren, I realize UB Law gave me the ability to craft a life I am pleased with and proud of. None of us get to wherever we are without the care and help of others. We have a duty to give back, to always be there for others — as mentors, consultants and, when you can, by providing financial support.” —Nathaniel Fick, J.D. ’75

in closing By Elizabeth Keyes

ose came to the United States from the Caribbean on a tourist visa 20-odd years ago. She met a man and had a little girl. The years went by. Rose’s visa expired. In time, Rose and her partner split up, leaving Rose to raise their daughter alone. The girl, now a teenager, is an excellent student who plays in the orchestra at her Baltimore high school. Rose, who never qualified for any kind of immigration status, occasionally thought about going back to the Caribbean but knew she couldn’t find work that would support her child. So she stayed in Baltimore, piecing together jobs as a nursing assistant, the best she could do without a work permit. Life got harder. Rose and her daughter had to leave their apartment. For a while they stayed with friends, but today they live in a shelter, where Rose tries to keep her daughter’s education on track. A devoutly religious woman with a bright smile, Rose also tries to maintain hope that things will work out for the best. Rose’s story is typical of the people at the center of complicated litigation now rolling through the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. After Congress for years failed to reform the nation’s cumbersome immigration

system, President Barack Obama in November 2014 announced an executive order that, among other things, granted three-year work permits to undocumented immigrants who have been here for more than five years and have children who are U.S. citizens or who hold green cards. The order would apply to more than 4 million undocumented immigrants. Obama’s order gave these immigrants “deferred action” status, which in practice meant they would be unlikely to be deported anytime soon. Deferred action has been a tool of prosecutorial discretion in immigration law since at least the 1970s, but Obama’s approach would reach far more people than any previous measure. The response was swift. Conservative lawmakers saw Obama’s action as a stark example of executive overreach and said the president does not have the authority to impose such a measure without the approval of Congress, which has the unique authority to define and allocate visas. At this writing, nearly a year after Obama’s announcement, the controversy continues to rage. The administration argues that, since Congress did not give the president the resources required to deport all 11 million

immigrants estimated to be in the country illegally, it would be helpful to allow some people to work lawfully. Deferred-action status lasts a maximum of three years and does not lead to permanent residence or citizenship, which means those immigrants allowed to stay and work could be deported eventually. But in the meantime, people like Rose could secure steadier jobs and decent housing to better support their American children. On the other side, 26 states, led by Texas, sued to enjoin the program, arguing, among other things, that it would impose costs on the states, which would have to issue driver’s licenses to immigrants granted deferredaction status (likely true). A district court decision blocked the immigration program and the Obama administration appealed to the Fifth Circuit, which has so far left the injunction in place while considering the merits of the appeal. The vast majority of immigration law scholars believe Obama’s immigration order is a permissible use of executive authority, consistent with precedent, and a broad coalition of states and municipalities have submitted amicus briefs supporting the Obama administration’s position. All sides agree the nation needs durable immigration reform, but with a presidential election coming up next year, and given the exceptionally complicated politics concerning the content of such reform, it is unclear when real change will happen. As a matter of constitutional and administrative law, Obama’s executive order and the ensuing court battle are intensely interesting. But for Rose and her American daughter, the issue is intensely personal. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

PAY IT FORWARD

The University of Baltimore School of Law announces two fundraising drives in honor of two long-time professors.

ARNOLD ROCHVARG Professor Emeritus Rochvarg retired this year after 36 years on the UB School of Law faculty. A gifted classroom teacher, Rochvarg — better known as Arnie — taught thousands of students and for a time served as associate dean. In lieu of a retirement celebration, Arnie asked Dean Weich to seek donations for student scholarships. There could be no more fitting tribute to this wonderful professor than a gift that helps maintain UB’s tradition of academic excellence — a tradition to which Arnie Rochvarg contributed so substantially.

BYRON WARNKEN Professor Warnken isn’t known as “Mr. UB” for nothing: After earning his juris doctor degree from the UB School of Law in 1977, Byron went on to teach generations of UB law students and to direct the moot court program for four decades. Byron’s dedication is best described by his daughter, Heather, who practices law in California: “My father loves his students. Not one conversation goes by without him wanting to talk about his current and former students, what they are doing, what is going on at the law school and how excited he is about it.” To mark Byron’s impressive career, we have launched a campaign to raise $1.5 million to name the moot courtroom in his honor. We’re already a third of the way there!

HOW TO GIVE

— To support either of these campaigns, please contact Jed Weeks, director of external relations, at 410.837.4358 or jweeks@ubalt.edu. Gifts can also be made online at www.ubalt.edu/support. Please be sure to select the “in honor of” box and name either Professor Rochvarg or Professor Warnken. You may also use the attached remittance envelope to give to the UB School of Law. Thank you for your generosity!
