After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1999, Diaz joined the United States Marine Corps and led the first unit to enter the Afghan city of Kabul following the attacks of September 11. He was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for leading the rescue of an Army two-star General and 14 of his staff members. When Diaz applied to law schools, he attended a scheduled visit at Seton Hall Law. “I attended one of Professor Franzese’s classes and that got me. I fell in love with the place,” he said. In recognition of his strong academic performance and his distinguished military career, Diaz was awarded the Bob and Margot Meyer God Bless America Scholarship, made possible by the generosity of The MCJ Amelior Foundation in honor of Robert O. Meyer ’77 and his wife, Margot. Diaz participates actively in the Seton Hall Law community. He is involved in the Interscholastic Moot Court Board and the Entertainment And Sports Law Journal and serves as the Student Bar Association’s Social Chair this year. He is also Professor Franzese’s research assistant. Last semester he completed an internship with the Honorable Judge Esther Salas, USDJ. Diaz was a summer associate at McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter LLP in Morristown this summer. “I have grown interested in bankruptcy law and corporate debt restructuring, which give you both transactional and litigation experience. I feel Seton Hall Law and my experi- ence at McElroy Deutsch have truly prepared me for the upcoming challenges of a clerkship and practice.” About the Cover 49Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Peter W.

1Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu The most ambitious fundraising campaign in Seton Hall Law School’s history has soared past its $25 million goal.In the pages that follow, we encourage you, our alumni and supporters, to explore some of the significant recent accomplish- ments made possible through your generous support of this campaign, which will allow Seton Hall Law to continue to rise to new heights in the years ahead. I am honored to report that thanks to more than 4,000 individual and organizational donors, Seton Hall Law Rising has raised more than $26 million toward its campaign goals. All of us at Seton Hall Law School are humbled that so many of you have entrusted us to steward your financial gifts for the betterment of this institution. The overwhelming success of Seton Hall Law Rising is a statement from our alumni and the business community that Seton Hall Law is, indeed, extraordinary. The Campaign’s success extends the Law School’s ability to fulfill its mission by increasing student access to legal education; supporting faculty members whose research benefits business, government and society at large; developing academic programs that provide forums to discuss and address complex legal, ethical, political and social issues; enhancing direct legal services for New Jersey’s most needy citizens while also providing hands-on skills training to our students; and growing networking and continuing education opportunities to benefit our alumni throughout their careers. The new student scholarships, increased faculty and academic program support, improved facilities and growing tradition of our robust annual fund will have a tremen- dous impact – with potential to improve our global community for years to come. None of this would have been possible without the clear and ambitious vision provided by the faculty and the Board of Visitors in the Law School’s Strategic Plan, which informed the Campaign’s priorities. Another vital ingredient to this recipe for success was the tremendous leadership provided by our volunteers. Campaign Co-Chairs Patrick C. Dunican Jr. ’91 and Joseph P. LaSala ’72, both highly successful leaders in the New Jersey legal and business communities, gave credibility to the notion of raising an unprecedented amount of money for Seton Hall Law School. They also had the courage to stay the course when the economic recession hit hard. I am exceedingly grateful for their guidance as well as the hard work and support of all of our volunteers, without whom the Campaign would have remained just a dream. While the Campaign has wrapped up, our plans for the future are just beginning. Our commitment will continue to be on reaching new heights in the years ahead. Future goals will be focused on the academic vision for the Law School developed by the faculty and administration in consultation with the Law School’s Board of Visitors, Alumni Council and other advisory boards. I look forward to your continued involvement in our community. Together, we will write the next chapter in Seton Hall Law’s ascent. Sincerely, Patrick E. Hobbs, Dean Letter from the Dean
2 Seton Hall Law Magazine The Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign is an unqualified success. The Law School is stronger than it was six years ago. There are more resources for student aid, teaching and scholarship. Thoughtfully renovated spaces have dramatically improved the learning environment and created a stronger sense of community. Innovative academic programs are fostering dialogue with busi- ness, influencing public policy and changing people’s lives. Students have programs and places to enrich their experience in and out of the classroom, and they–as well as others at Seton Hall Law–are reaching out to the local community, the state, the nation and the world as never before. The Campaign helped make all of that and more possible. The Seton Hall Law Rising vision became a reality thanks to the commitment of hundreds of volunteers led by our Campaign Leadership Team, thousands of donors and a devoted staff led by our superb dean. We are very proud to be part of this community. Thank you for your continued dedication to Seton Hall Law. Joseph P. LaSala ’72 Patrick C. Dunican Jr. ’91 Co-Chairs, Seton Hall Law Rising Thankyoufor being part of something $25 $20 $15 $10 $5 $0 $26.3 M $5.1 M The total private dollars raised during the six years immediately preceding the Campaign was $5.1 million.

3Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu We have reached the Campaign goal and grown in national prominence, which has strengthened our Law School. As a graduate, I find the accomplishments of Seton Hall Law astonishing. I submit to all of you that it is the right time to include the last ingredient: you. I will attempt to convince you during my year as your Alumni Council president to come back home. Come back to Newark and invest in our future. Seton Hall Law students are the lawyers of tomorrow. They extend our legacy and lineage. The opportunities to contribute to the Seton Hall Law commu- nity are endless, and they draw upon your greatest gifts as a legal professional. Serve as a mentor. Be a guest speaker: talk about your career path or about your area of legal expertise. Coach a moot court team. Or just swing by and join us at a networking event. That one short moment in time could make all the difference to our talented students. Each of us was chosen to attend Seton Hall Law because of the unique traits that make us who we are. Your finest qualities made this law school the great institution that it is today. Seton Hall Law dominates the New Jersey bench and bar and has an ever- growing competitive edge in New York City and throughout the East Coast, with a growing presence in every state in the nation. From personal experience, I know how challenging it can be to juggle yet another obligation along with work and our family lives. However, the time you spend with students today offers excellent professional returns, and you won’t need to sacrifice your law practice or your family. I ask of you all to pledge your time. Not an exorbitant amount – just a moment. You’d be surprised how even a small amount of time can lead us to new heights as a law school. I look forward to welcoming you home this coming year.

4 Seton Hall Law Magazine LawSchool Briefs The Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy Seton Hall Law School has had a vibrant, nationally recognized health law program for nearly two decades. In 2007, with new partnerships, grants and input from some of the best practitioners in the field, the Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy took shape formally. Since that time, the health law program has reached new heights. Key to the Center’s success has been financial and intellectual input from legal and health care professionals working in hospitals, life sci- ences companies, government agencies, hospitals and other health care organizations. Today, the Center hosts a variety of educational programs to help law students prepare for a health law career. Following are some of the contributions that have helped shape Seton Hall Law’s remarkable Center in 2010-11. The $5 million Harvey Washington Wiley Chaired Professorship in Corporate Governance & Business Ethics, endowed by Bristol- Myers Squibb, was formally announced in 2007. Since then, the Chaired Professor- ship has paved the way for visiting professors representing a breadth of areas falling under the expansive umbrella of “corporate governance.” From “The Speculation Economy” to the “Changing Dynamics of the Pharmaceutical Post-Market Arena” and the “Human Rights Responsibilities of Pharmaceutical Companies,” Seton Hall has opened its doors and the minds of its students and the greater Law School ExpansionEnhancement & in the Campaign Years Professor Steven L. Willborn Vice Provost and Professor Kathleen M. Boozang of the Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy presented at the lecture event, “Managing Financial Conflicts in Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Research,” held on April 13, 2011.
5Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu community to timely issues affecting the corporate world. Most recently, in Fall 2010, the Center welcomed Steven L. Willborn, former Dean and Judge Harry S. Spencer Professor of Law, University of Nebraska College of Law, who presented, “Whistling at Work: Why Employers Undervalue Whistleblower Protections.” Since 2003, Johnson & Johnson’s support for the Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy has been extensive and multifaceted – with participation by its health law and compliance attorneys as adjunct profes- sors, guest lecturers, compliance program instructors and roundtable discussion members. In 2010-11, Johnson & Johnson provided unrestricted contributions to support the work of the Center. These contributions, in conjunc- tion with the development of self-supporting continuing education initiatives, have made possible the expansion of the Center’s programs for working professionals, including the European Healthcare Compliance Programme, an advanced pharmaceutical compliance training program, and the online Graduate Certificate in Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Law & Compliance. Ernst & Young provided support to Seton Hall Law’s growing European healthcare compliance efforts. With the inaugural Programme taking place in Paris in June 2010 and subsequent sessions, also in Paris, in February, June and November 2011, the Center has taken its Healthcare Compliance Certification Program to a new level, preparing pharmaceutical and medical device professionals for a truly global workplace. This academic year The Center for Health & Pharma- ceutical Law & Policy also initiated a partnership with Rutgers Center for State Health Policy and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, through which Professor John V. Jacobi, Dorothea Dix Professor of Health Law & Policy, and Kate Greenwood, Research Fellow & Lecturer in Law, conducted research related to New Jersey Law Reform in Response to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Center is also partnering with Rutgers Center for State Health Policy on a project for the New Jersey Depart- ment of Banking and Insurance examining policy issues related to the imple- mentation of the Affordable Care Act. Taking the lead on this project are Professor Jacobi and Tara Ragone, Research Fellow & Lecturer in Law. In particular, the project will produce briefs on federal and state methodologies calculating medical loss in health insurance and requirements for entities respon- sible for eligibility determinations and tax credits for government programs. Ted Acosta, Principal, Ernst & Young LLP and former Senior Counsel, Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, presents at the Compliance Programme held at Sciences Po in Paris.

6 Seton Hall Law Magazine Gibbons Institute In 2007, Gibbons P.C. generously endowed $1 million to support the Law School’s Gibbons Institute of Law, Science & Technology, a center of excellence that explores the political and legal implications of the advances in technology that are transforming how we live and how we work. Among the Gibbons Institute’s many achievements is a new program in the thriving area of Cybersecurity Law. In 2010, Seton Hall Law School was awarded a grant, in conjunction with Rutgers School of Law-Newark, to implement the Cybersecurity Law Project. This multifac- eted program included two new courses, Cybersecurity Law and Cybersecurity Crimes and Practice; a full-day conference with continuing legal education (CLE) credits provided; a portal website; and summer intern- ships in cybersecurity units at New Jersey’s county prosecutors’ offices. The program prepares students for the challenges that await them in a variety of legal areas and also provides free-of-charge training for assistant prosecutors who were invited to audit the courses and attend the conference. In the past year the Gibbons Institute expanded its CLE programs for attorneys throughout the region with roundtables, lectures and symposia. Among the most popular programs was, “The District of New Jersey’s Local Patent Rules: A Year in Review, and Where We Go From Here,” a panel discussion featuring the Honorable Garrett E. Brown, Jr., Chief Judge, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey; and the Honorable Tonianne J. Bongiovanni ’98, Federal Magis- trate, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In 2008, Chief Judge Brown appointed a special Local Patent Rules Committee to review and evaluate the need to create separate local rules governing patent cases in the district, one of the most active patent venues in the country. The committee, comprising district judges, magistrate judges and attorneys, recommended that a standard protocol for patent cases would be useful to the court and the parties and submitted local patent rules. The new rules took effect on January 1, 2009. Chief Judge Brown, Magistrate Judge Bongiovanni and a distinguished panel of practitioners shared their experiences with the district’s new rules, and considered amendments and practical tips for dealing with patent litigation in New Jersey. The event attracted more than 100 guests. On June 8, Seton Hall Law, Rutgers Law-Newark and the Bergen County Pros- ecutor’s Office hosted a day-long conference, Cybersecurity Law and Policy: Changing Paradigms and New Challenges. Shown above are, from left, Erik Lillquist,Vice Dean; David W. Opderbeck ’91, Professor of Law and Director of the Gibbons Institute of Law, Science & Technology; John L.

7Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Center for Social Justice The Center for Social Justice (CSJ) success fully expanded its mission to provide legal services and advocacy on be- half of the underserved both locally and internationally. An expanded Pro Bono Service Program now enables Seton Hall Law to team with 45 organizations in the surrounding Newark com- munity. The program gives more than 100 students annually the opportunity to gain legal skills in such areas as criminal justice, mental health, community development and tax preparation services. Students in the Immigrants’ Rights/International Human Rights Clinic published a groundbreaking report on the abuses of day laborers in New Jersey. This report inspired Assemblywoman Annette Quijano to propose legislation adopting many of the report’s recommenda- tions. CSJ students also litigated on behalf of victims of predatory lending and unlawful foreclosure practices and secured important victories for indigent families. On an international level, CSJ initiated a new Rule of Law Program in Guatemala that will teach students about human rights issues and involve them in ongoing litigation and advocacy in support of access to justice. Legal Practice Curriculum The Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign has enabled the Law School to strengthen its Legal Practice Curriculum, a primary objective of the Seton Hall Law Strategic Plan. Thanks to the Campaign, a course in Persuasion and Advocacy is now required, while electives such as e-Discovery, Transactional Law and Trial Skills, taught by practicing attorneys and seasoned judges, simulate both case work and the courtroom experience. Expanded opportunities to compete in both intra- and interscholastic events throughout the country–moot court, mock trial, dispute resolution and appellate advocacy – teach students to work in teams as legal professionals and hone their analytical skills. Moot Court Board Seton Hall Law School’s Interscholastic Moot Court Board finished the year with 25 awards. The 2010- 2011 season saw a first-place finish at BMI’s National Entertainment Law Competition, a second-place finish at the Gabrielli National Family Law Competition, and a regional championship at the ABA’s National Appellate Advocacy Moot Court Competition. The Board was also honored with five Best Brief awards and five Oral Advocate awards. The awards ranked Seton Hall’s Inter- scholastic Moot Court Board as seventh in the nation by the Appellate Advocacy Institute. Dispute Resolution Society The Dispute Resolution Society is making its presence known on a national scale: after dominating the Regional Finals, Nima Ashtyani ’12 and Nick Stratton ’12 were named National Semi-Finalists at the American Bar Association’s Representation in Mediation Competition. This is the second year in a row that Seton Hall Law has reached the Final Four. Ashtyani, President of the Dispute Resolution Society, remarked, “Since receiving the James B. Boskey Memorial Foundation grant, Seton Hall Law has quickly become a force to be reckoned with. And because so much of our law school curriculum is devoted to skills training, we seem to enter these competitions with a natural advantage.” Professor Lori Nessel, Director of the Seton Hall Law Center for Social Justice Nima Ashtyani ’12, left, and Nick Stratton ’12, right, with Professor David M. White, went to the National Competiton for the ABA Representation in Mediation Competition in Colorado this year.
8 Seton Hall Law Magazine Mock Trial Program Anthony P. DiTommaso, Jr. ’97 and his family demonstrated their support of the Legal Practice Cur- riculum with a generous contribution to endow the Seton Hall Law Mock Trial Program, now in its third year. DiTommaso is particularly impressed by the Mock Trial Program because it reflects the remarkable growth of Seton Hall Law under Dean Hobbs’ leadership. He commented, “I encourage my fellow alumni to join me in recognizing Dean Hobbs’ outstanding leadership, which has transformed our law school. This is a wonderful opportunity to thank Dean Hobbs for the last 12 years of a job very well done.” The Mock Trial Board is driven by dedicated students and just as important, by a devoted, enthusiastic teacher. “Coach Jen,” as she is known to her students, came to Seton Hall Law after years with the Bronx District Attorney’s Office. Skills Program Director Professor Maya Grosz describes Coach Jen as “a dynamic and inspirational teacher and mentor” and notes that the students who participate annually on the Mock Trial Board benefit greatly from her guidance. The students agree. As Katie Myers ’11, Mock Trial Board Co-Chair, explained, “Coach Jen sat down with the whole team and really taught us all the evidentiary rules, how to argue them in court and how to apply them. She also used her prosecutorial experience to help us understand what will or won’t resonate with a jury. All that training paid off. After my first semester on the team, I was knowledgeable and confident in my abilities.” Seton Hall Law Launches Investor Advocacy Project Seton Hall Law has launched the Investor Advocacy Project, offering free legal representation for investors in New Jersey with limited income or small dollar claims who have a dispute with an investment professional and are unable to obtain legal counsel. This program is made possible by a grant from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Investor Education Foundation, the largest foundation in the United States dedicated to investor education. The Seton Hall Law Investor Advocacy Project is the first FINRA Foundation-funded resource in New Jersey. The Investor Advocacy Project curriculum, launched this semester, combines knowledge of securities law with skills-based training. The program is led by Professor Maya Grosz, who directs the Law School’s Legal Practice Curriculum. Adjunct Professor David M. White, who supervises student prosecution of investor claims and also directs the Dispute Resolution competi- tion team, said, “Seton Hall prepares its graduates for making an immediate, positive impact within our legal community. The Investor Advocacy Project will hone various essential lawyering skills including case manage- ment, client counseling and conflict resolution.” LawSchool Briefs Celebrating the launch of the Seton Hall Law Investor Advocacy Project, are, from left: Professor David M.

9Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Advancing Diversity in the Law Seton Hall Law School is committed to a sustained, interconnected and ever-growing effort to recruit and support students with diverse backgrounds and those with socioeconomic and educational disadvantages – from all cultures. For over 30 years, the Law School has built bridges to diverse communities, establishing a pipeline from those communities into the legal profes- sion. The Campaign has supported these efforts. “Pipeline” programs – the Summer Institute for Pre-Legal Studies and Legal Education Opportunities (LEO) Program – have enabled Seton Hall Law to support a host of students at the college and graduate levels. These students might not otherwise have ever had the opportunity to attend law school. Graduates of these programs have gone on to become state and federal judges, partners and associates at major law firms, high ranking governmental officials and advisors, and major forces within business and industry. In 2006, Seton Hall Law supported the launch of the New Jersey Legal Education Empowerment Program (NJ LEEP), which exposes middle school and high school inner-city youth to careers in the law and focuses on preparation for college through programs held both during the school year and in the summer. The rigorous curriculum runs six days and 14 hours each week through the school year, combining academic tutoring, law-based courses and SAT preparation in its “College Bound” program. In June, the very first cohort of NJ LEEP’s “College Bound” students came of age: all NJ LEEP high school seniors are attending college, with the majority attending Top 100 schools including Bryn Mawr College, Mount Holyoke College, Stevens Institute of Technology and Drew University. In 2008, Dean Hobbs created the Dean’s Diversity Council, an advisory body of faculty, alumni, students and administrators who provide strategic oversight in support of Seton Hall Law and its many diversity initiatives. The Council created a Strategic Vision for Diversity, which highlights the Law School’s long-standing com- mitment to diversity and identifies specific objectives, along with strategies and goals enhance our efforts. Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., pictured with Professor Solangel Maldonado, was a guest speaker at the Third National People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference, Our Country, Our World In a ‘Post-Racial’ Era, hosted by Seton Hall Law in September, 2010. The conference was the largest gathering of diverse law faculty in the United States – more than 500 faculty, practi- tioners and students from across the country, Canada and the United Kingdom joined together to examine and support the role of faculty of color in the teaching of law. Professor Maldonado, who chairs the Dean’s Diversity Council, brought this prestigious conference to fruition with a dedicated team of colleagues nationwide as well as Seton Hall Law faculty, alumni, administrators and students.

10 Seton Hall Law Magazine Scholarships Fellowships& T hanks to the generosity of many alumni and friends, Seton Hall Law has introduced new scholarships and fellowships that are changing the lives of students by increasing access for those who might not otherwise attend law school, attracting stellar applicants and assisting students who are committed to public interest and public service. CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG LAWYERS
11Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu A Scholarship Success Story For some students, Seton Hall Law’s supportive envi- ronment, combined with its commitment to diversity and its scholarship options for students in need, make it the perfect choice. One such student is Tamara Coley ’10, who is now an associate specializing in pharmaceutical patent litigation at Kenyon & Kenyon in New York City. A native of Orange, Tamara has impressive credentials – an under- graduate degree in biology from Haverford College, a Masters in Public Health from Columbia University, and a J.D. from Seton Hall Law – that tell only half the story. Having lost her parents as a young girl, Tamara was raised by her grandparents. With the assistance of teacher-mentors and others, Tamara learned to navigate the educational system and, in particular, to win scholar- ships and seek out environments that would enable her to challenge herself and gain the best education possible. “Both my Kaplen Scholarship and the Legal Education Opportunity (LEO) Program are a big part of why I came to Seton Hall, but an equally big part of it was the sense of community I found here,” Coley said. “My initial attraction to Seton Hall Law was its esteemed Health Law concentration. What ultimately brought me here was so much more. Experience has shown me that I thrive in intimate and nurturing academic environ- ments. Professor Christina Bennett and the Academic Success Program gave me just that. LEO helped me gain entrance to Seton Hall Law and the Academic Success Program gave me the tools I needed to perform my best academically while there. “Clearly there is no single component of my law school experience that I can point to as the reason things ‘clicked’ for me. Instead, I believe it was the whole package that helped me to succeed,” she explained. “The Kaplen Schol- arship and my graduate assistant position are actually what allowed me to quit my job and pursue law school on a full-time basis. What was equally important to me in regard to my graduate assistant position, were the rela- tionships I forged while working there. The women in the Health Law Department were not only my bosses, but became my friends and some of my biggest cheer- leaders. It is experiences like these that made Seton Hall not just my law school, but my home.” Paying It Forward – Scholarships Scholarships and fellowships enhance the lives of the recipients, but they also celebrate the lives and tell the stories of those for whom they are named. Thanks to the success of the Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign, the Law School has created 40 new scholarships and fellowships since 2005. Through these scholarships, the Law School community collectively remembers and pays homage to very special people. Included here are some of the most recently announced awards. Professor Gerard Carey Endowed Scholarship The Professor Gerard Carey Scholarship was created through many generous individual gifts in honor of the late Professor Gerard Carey, who taught at Seton Hall Law from 1954 to 1991. Most recently, the scholarship endowment was given a boost when the law firm of Graham Curtin directed a generous gift to support it. The scholarship is awarded to a student from New York or New Jersey who possesses both merit and need, and demonstrates the strong character and values exem- plified by Professor Carey. Both my Kaplen Scholarship and the Legal Education Opportunity Program are a big part of why I came to Seton Hall, but an equally big part of it was the sense of community I found here. ‘‘ ’’ Pictured, from left, are Michael Carey ’87; Christopher Carey ’82; Thomas Zuppa ’12, 2011-12 SBA President; Catherine Carey ’13, Christopher Carey’s daughter; and Dean Hobbs. — Tamara Coley ’11
12 Seton Hall Law Magazine The Harold A. Ackerman Judicial Fellowship In December 2009, the New Jersey legal community mourned the loss of the Honorable Harold A. Ackerman, U.S. District Judge for the District of New Jersey. The Fellowship, established in his memory, was recently cre- ated through the support of friends, family and former law clerks of the esteemed judge. This fitting tribute to Judge Ackerman’s legacy will be awarded annually to a Seton Hall Law student who has accepted a full-time Federal Judicial Internship with a United States District Judge in the summer following his or her first or second year of law school. It is the hope of those who established the Fellowship not only to decrease the financial burden on the student recipient, but also to welcome him or her into the Ackerman extended family and provide a network of support and mentorship. Professor William E. Garland Memorial Scholarship This scholarship was created in memory of the late Profes- sor William E. Garland ’69 (pictured), who taught at Seton Hall Law from 1976 through 2009. It benefits students in the Legal Educa- tion Opportunities Program (LEO) in recognition of Professor Garland’s cherished participation in the LEO program. Two scholarships are awarded annually, to a rising second-year and to a rising third-year student who have demonstrated academic success and a commitment to public service. Several scholarships to pay for books will also be awarded to LEO students. The Cino Family Scholarship in Honor of Jude M. Hartnett The Scholarship was created by Richard J. Cino ’90 and his wife Mary A. Hartnett ’90 along with his brother and sister-in-law, Vincent A. and Julia M. Cino. It will be awarded annually in honor of Mary’s father, Jude M. Hartnett ’80, to a student who grew up, and attended high school, in Jersey City or Newark or other urban area in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. Other eligible candidates will be those who have served in any branch of the U.S. military, with preference given to those who have served in the U.S. Marine Corps. The Karol Corbin Walker LEO Alumni Scholarship Endowment This Endowed Scholarship was created in 2011 thanks to the generosity of Karol Corbin Walker ’86 (pictured), a founding member of the Law School’s Board of Visitors, 2003 recipient of the Law School’s Distinguished Graduate Award, and 2009 recipient of the Saint Thomas More Medal at the Law School’s 25th Annual Red Mass. This Scholarship will provide financial relief to a student who is a member of the Legal Education Opportunities Program (LEO), which supports students who have been disadvantaged by a lack of a quality early educational experience. The Karol Corbin Walker LEO Alumni Scholarship will assist student recipients who might not otherwise be able to afford law school with an opportunity to realize their full potential.

13Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Seton Hall Law School celebrated its second Verizon Foundation grant in 2011 in support of its Verizon Public Interest Fellowship Program at a breakfast and domestic violence legal training program held on June 1. The comprehensive program gives law students an opportunity to work with underserved victims of domestic violence at legal service agencies in a seven- county area of New Jersey. The Verizon Public Interest Fellowship Program’s unique approach ensures students working as Summer Fellows participate in an intensive family law/domestic violence pre-fellowship training module before their summer placements. The generous grant from the Verizon Foundation provided funding for five Verizon Summer Fellows and one Postgraduate Fellow (see page 46). In Summer 2011, Fellows gained specialized hands-on training on how to provide appro- priate and safe advice and counsel, legal representation, and document preparation under close supervision by family law attorneys. Verizon Public Interest Fellowship Program Shown from left are Douglas W. Schoenberger,Vice President-Public Policy,Verizon New Jersey; and members of the Seton Hall Law School community, including Claudette St. Romain,Associate Dean; 2011 Verizon Fellows Rotem Peretz ’13, Esther Meza ’13, Kathleen Dillon ’12, Desiree Sedehi ’12 and Troy Torres ’13; and Visiting Assistant Clinical Professor Jessica Miles.
14 Seton Hall Law Magazine In April 2011, Seton Hall Law School celebrated the Fifth Annual Samuel J. Heyman Public Service Lec- ture with keynote speaker Armando O. Bonilla ’92, Senior Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General, from Washington, D.C. For the past five years, the Samuel J. Heyman Public Interest Fellowship Program has pro- vided students with both incentive and compensation to explore a career in the federal government. At the annual lecture, Bonilla inspired students by discussing his many job responsibilities, highlighting advice he has provided on a wide range of legal, legislative and policy issues relating to criminal justice including white-collar crime, financial and corporate fraud, public corruption and heath care fraud. The Program has supported 17 students and eight alumni during the Campaign. Fifth Annual Samuel J. Heyman The annual lecture provides an opportunity for the Law School to recognize and celebrate the achievements and careers of those who have dedicated themselves and part of their careers to public service.

15Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Serving the “Cause of Justice” The Seton Hall Class of 2011, 314 graduates in all, celebrated its Commence- ment at the Prudential Center, at which members of the University, Law School Faculty, and Boards of Regents and Visitors joined in. United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey Paul J. Fishman served as Commencement Speaker and received an honorary degree from Seton Hall Law. Touting a love of learning he shared with his late father, who served as a professor at City College in New York for 62 years, Mr. Fishman gave a moving tribute to his father as he expressed his thanks. It was the perfect send-off on a day when families and friends looked at the new graduates with the same affection Mr. Fishman showed toward his father. While he talked of the extraordinary pride his father would have for the honor he received, it was equally clear that Mr. Fishman shared those feelings for the graduating class before him: “This morning when you walk through the doors of The Rock, you are all students at Seton Hall Law School. In an hour or two when you leave through those same doors, you will leave as something else, you will be lawyers,” Mr. Fishman said. He told them that accomplishment should mean more than “simply surviving the rigors of law school or winning a plum job at a prestigious firm.” It gives each graduate a special gift – and a special responsibility. And that responsibility has nothing to do with whether they actually pursue the practice of law: “You have an obligation to use your legal training and expertise to serve the cause of justice and the principles upon which our nation is built.” That gives graduates of Seton Hall Law School an important role in society: “People will look to you for understanding and for guidance, not just for advice on particular matters, but for your views. And they want your views as a whole because you speak a language that they don’t, because you studied things that they haven’t – so your voice and your opinion will carry extra weight.” Fishman recognized the dedication it took the graduates to reach this point: “I look out over the crowd and feel a chill of pride and excitement for those of you who have spent three or four years here, as these faculty members behind me mentored, watched, and helped you learn what you need to know. For them, the sense of accomplishment, and hope for the achievement and expectation of skill and promise, is extraordinary. “This law school has given you tools and the expertise, the learning and the friendships, the skills and the doctrine to help your clients, to make remarks, to serve your country and to change the world. Everyone in this room is proud of you. Everyone in this room sees your promise. Everyone in this room is counting on you. You are lawyers.” Bisola Taiwo and Dean Hobbs celebrate outside the Prudential Center following Commencement. SEton Hall Law2011 Commencement Paul J. Fishman Paul J.

16 Seton Hall Law Magazine Endowed Chairsand Research Fellowships T he field of law is ever-changing – and much of that change is led by faculty. Our professors prepare students for legal practice – and they produce the scholarship and research that generate new perspectives and set the stage for innovation and improvements in policy and legislation. The generous support of several indi- viduals and organizations has enabled Seton Hall Law to recruit rising stars and retain nationally recognized faculty through Endowed Chairs and Research Fellowships. The Law School’s reputa- tion continues to rise thanks to the growing prominence of Seton Hall Law faculty. Included here are some of the most recently announced Chairs and Fellowships. Achieving International Prominence
17Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Faculty News Maury Cartine Endowed Faculty Research Fellowship As a “proud graduate of Seton Hall University and Seton Hall Law,” Maury Cartine is actively involved at the University, is serving on the Law School Class of ’76 Reunion Committee, and has been a member of the Law School’s Board of Visitors since its inception. He supported the Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign by endowing a faculty research fellowship. The inau- gural recipient of the Maury Cartine Endowed Faculty Research Fellowship is Professor Marina Lao. “I am very honored to receive this Fellowship and I’m very grateful to Mr. Cartine for his long-standing dedication and generosity to the Law School,” she says. The Fellowship supports Professor Lao’s research into the antitrust concerns raised by the recently rejected Google Book settlement. Professor Lao explained why research support is so important: “To be good teachers we have stay on top of current legal issues so we can teach not only the theory of law, but also how it is currently applied in practice.” Professor Michael J. Ambrosio Endowed Faculty Chair “My dream was to live a life full of meaning. I wanted to make a difference. As a teacher and as a lawyer, I have been able to live that sort of life, and I want to express my gratefulness. One of the great blessings in my life has been being a part of this university. It has given me the opportunity to pursue the truth and that’s a wonderful opportunity to have. My wife and I, through this gift, would like to make that opportunity available to others.” — Professor Michael J. Ambrosio Professor Andrea J. Catania Endowed Faculty Chair “Andrea Catania was a beloved teacher, mentor, colleague and friend. Her energy was infec- tious and her love of teaching was unparalleled. I am honored to be named the first Andrea J. Catania Faculty Chair holder, and I am grateful to the friends and family who have made this endowment possible.” — Professor Charles A. Sullivan Schering-Plough Professorship in Health Care Regulation and Enforcement “With the resources of the Schering-Plough Professorship, I have been focusing my scholarship on the new chal- lenges raised by health data. I’ve been working closely with interested students and am devising what I believe will be the first law school seminar devoted to health data, privacy and innovation. Seton Hall has a stellar health law group, and I want to help lead our participation in the ‘health data revolution.’ The Schering-Plough Professorship is helping to make that possible.” — Professor Frank Pasquale Professor Frank Pasquale Professor Andrea J. Catania Professor Michael J. Ambrosio “If we want to continue our phenomenal success at Seton Hall Law, we must have the resources to recruit and retain the nationally recognized scholars who keep us at the forefront of legal issues in this country and around the world. That’s why I helped fund the Catania Chair.” — Diane C. Nardone ’88
18 Seton Hall Law Magazine Notable Faculty Initiatives Professor Margaret Lewis Brings a Focus on China and the Law When Professor Margaret Lewis was 10 years old, her family hosted a teacher from Shanghai who came to the United States to teach Chinese at their local high school. This brush with Chinese culture sparked a lifelong interest in China that has shaped and guided her academic and professional career. Professor Lewis joined the Seton Hall Law faculty in 2009 and teaches a unique class, Law in Contemporary China. This past February, she organized an event at Seton Hall Law that presented Human Rights Watch’s latest report on China, “Promises Unfulfilled: An Assessment of China’s National Human Rights Action Plan.” Last fall, the Law School was the only New Jersey location selected for the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations’ China Town Hall, a national day of programming on China. Professor Lewis’s research focuses on the intersection of Chinese legal studies with criminal procedure, criminal law and international law. She recently won the Jerome A. Cohen Prize for International Law and East Asia from New York University’s Journal of International Law and Politics for her article, “Controlling Abuse to Maintain Control: The Exclusionary Rule in China.” She also has a forthcoming article on reforms to the death penalty in China, which will appear in the Columbia Journal of Asian Law. Professor Brian Sheppard Prepares a Report for the Honduran Truth Commission With five months left in his term and a new presidential election underway, in 2009 President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras was said to explore polling the Honduran citizenry to seek an extended term in office – though a Constitutional provision limits presidential terms to four years and strips the president of his power if he attempts to stay in office. The Honduran Supreme Court subsequently ordered Zelaya’s arrest. As a result, today only 11 countries recognize the current Honduran government. Honduras, now eager to gain legitimacy in the eyes of the world, formed a Truth and Reconcili- ation Commission. Professor Margaret Lewis Professor Brian Sheppard, left, with project research assistants, Cristal Reyes ’12 and Santos Flores ’13, who prepared an assessment of the Honduran constitution and its role in the ouster of President Manuel Zelaya in 2009.
19Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Professor Brian Sheppard learned of the Commission’s call for a team to assess the validity of the sudden leadership change and the pertinent provisions of Honduran consti- tution. He gathered a team of constitutional law experts and submitted the winning proposal to the Commission. Assisted by Seton Hall Law students, Professor Sheppard and his colleagues delivered the final report to the Commission this summer. Professor Sheppard said, “The report is both retrospective and prospective. We need to understand what happened in the context of constitutional application. We also are charged with making recommendations that would improve the con- stitution so these sorts of lapses and misunderstandings cannot happen again.” The Last Resort Exoneration Project The Last Resort Exoneration Project at Seton Hall Law celebrated its official launch in February 2011. Described by the New Jersey Law Journal as “New Jersey’s Answer to the Innocence Project,” the initiative, founded and led by Lesley Risinger ’03 and Professor Michael Risinger, focuses primarily on non-DNA exonerations of the factually innocent convicted in New Jersey. This newest Seton Hall Law initiative was met at the launch with acclaim by speakers Barry C. Scheck, Co-Founder of The Innocence Project at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, and Raymond A. Brown, famed criminal defense attorney and host of New Jersey Network’s Due Process. Pictured at the launch reception, from left, are Barry Scheck, Project Director Lesley Risinger, Raymond Brown and Professor Michael Risinger. Professor Jonathan Hafetz Habeas Corpus After 9/11: Confronting America’s New Global Detention System (New York University Press) In his new book, Professor Hafetz examines the rise of the U.S.-run global detention system that emerged after 9/11 and the efforts to challenge this system through habeas corpus. In the age of terrorism, some argue that habeas corpus is impractical and unwise. Hafetz argues that it remains a bulwark of liberty and the single most important check against arbitrary and unlawful detention, torture and the abuse of executive power. The book provides a thorough account of why habeas corpus matters so much and what should be done to preserve the Great Writ. Professor Paula Franzese A Short Happy Guide to Property Law (West Publications) This efficient and painless guide to Property Law was designed to take often difficult subject matter and make it accessible and easy to remember. Distilling her famed teaching methods, Professor Paula Franzese sets forth understandable tech- niques for mastering estates in land and future interests, concurrent estates, landlord-tenant law, servitudes, land transactions, recording system, zoning and eminent domain. The book will undoubtedly hold a cherished place in the minds of law students nationwide. Faculty Books Faculty News
20 Seton Hall Law Magazine Enhancing the Student Environment C hange is constant. To continue to meet the needs of today’s law students and the legal pro- fession, Seton Hall is committed to providing a vibrant learning environment that fosters collaboration among students, alumni and faculty. Thanks to the support of many alumni and friends during the Campaign, the Law School facility is more technologically advanced and offers more comfortable, vibrant surroundings – conducive to learning and living – than ever before. CapitalImprovements
21Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu The Larson Auditorium “Faculty and students appreciate the technological and furnishing upgrades made to the Larson Auditorium this past summer thanks to the generosity of Peter and Lee Larson. This space is one of the hubs of the Law School – where we teach classes and host lectures, con- ferences and symposia for the legal community, including CLE events for alumni. It is also where we celebrate educational milestones for our students, from Orienta- tion to Bar swearing-in ceremonies. The improvements to the Larson Auditorium have resulted in a much more comfortable, laptop-friendly setting replete with modern technology.” — Erik Lillquist, Vice Dean Baumeister Cafeteria “In the book of Genesis, Abra- ham duly honors the traditions of hospitality legendary in every ancient society. He greets three strangers at his tent and gener- ously offers them food and a place to rest. They turn out to be divine messengers. In the sixth century, St. Benedict, a lawyer by training, instructed his monks, ‘Treat every guest as if he were Christ.’ Abraham and Benedict teach us that joining together for a meal is a cornerstone of community. And that is how I experience the Matthew Baumeister Cafeteria: an oasis of conversation and camaraderie that has allowed me to get to know the members of the Seton Hall Law community. As we break between classes, we talk about the events of the day. We argue, we laugh and sometimes, we reflect, in this warm, welcoming environment.” — Father Nicholas S. Gengaro, Chaplain, Seton Hall Law The Honorable John J. Gibbons Moot Court Room “When I first entered the Eugene Gressman Appellate Moot Court Competition last year, I was impressed by the formality and realism of the competition. Most especially, my rounds in the John J. Gibbons Moot Court Room made me feel like I was actually in a courthouse arguing before an appellate panel. This year, I found I had an edge in competing for the Interscholastic Moot Court Board because I had been practicing in the Gibbons Moot Court Room and was comfortable in a real courthouse setting. It’s an invaluable resource for Seton Hall students, helping them to become more confident in their trial advocacy skills.” — Lilianne Daniel ’11 From left to right: Peter N. Larson ’74, Maryle A. Larson and Vice Dean Erik Lillquist. There have been so many great improvements to the Law School facility since I began here three years ago. I’ve given many tours to prospective students, and it’s wonderful to see them come into the building and be amazed by how beautiful it is. ‘‘ — Christine McCarthy ’11 ’’
22 Seton Hall Law Magazine The DeCotiis Boardroom “We have a ‘family debt’ to Seton Hall Law and we appreciate our family’s strong connection to the Law School. In fact, Al’s daughter, Leigh, is now in her third year. We all feel it is extremely important to give back to the school that gave us so much. We are honored to support the renovation of the fifth floor meeting space to accommodate larger groups for important events and to improve the technology in what will become the DeCotiis Boardroom.” — Joseph M. DeCotiis ’94 TV Monitors “Whether entering the law school, navigating the hall- ways on the way to class or having a meal at the cafeteria, a casual glance at a TV monitor is all that’s necessary to know what’s going on at the Law School each week. I appreciate the Class of 2007, whose support made these monitors possible.” — Christopher Gelpi ’12 Christopher Gelpi ’12 served as President of the Black Law Students Association in 2010-11.

24 Seton Hall Law Magazine Thanks to a stronger Fund for Seton Hall Law, the Law School has been able to increase offerings for alumni to strengthen their professional network and provide important professional development opportunities. Continuing Legal Education In 2010, Seton Hall Law enhanced its already strong continuing legal education (CLE) offerings with the introduction of the Alumni CLE Program, which provides 12 credits of CLE courses annually, taught by our faculty free of charge to alumni. With lectures, conferences and symposia offered by Seton Hall Law student journals; the Gibbons Institute of Law, Science Technology; and the Center for Health Pharma- ceutical Law Policy, Seton Hall Law provided more than 70 credits of CLE credits last year. Networking Alumni networking opportunities have increased expo- nentially in recent years. In 2006, Seton Hall Law hosted two reunion classes whose members rejoiced with old friends from law school. By 2010, six reunion classes gathered to celebrate their milestones. In 2011, graduates from eight classes will reconnect with classmates at their reunions, which provide great networking opportunities. Additionally, Seton Hall Law has hosted regional networking receptions throughout New Jersey and in other areas where we have significant alumni populations, including Manhattan, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, Phoenix and Washington, D.C.On February 3, 2011, Professor Angela Carmella (pictured) and Professor Kathleen M. Boozang presented at the Hudson County Alumni CLE program. This program was followed by a networking reception in Hoboken to give alumni a chance to reconnect and discuss career opportunities. A vitally important part of Seton Hall Law Rising is the growth of the Fund for Seton Hall Law, which doubled during the Campaign. A continued robust Fund for Seton Hall Law is fundamental to sustaining progress in all areas of excellence.
25Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu The emphasis on increased alumni programming and networking will continue beyond the Campaign as we prepare to launch an online alumni community to help alumni reconnect with one another and stay connected with Seton Hall Law. Career Development In 2009-10, Seton Hall Law’s Offices of Alumni Development and Career Services joined forces to launch a mentoring program for third-year students who had yet to secure post-graduate employment. This program doubled in size in 2010-11, with many more alumni expressing an interest in helping to guide students along their career paths. The inter-office collaboration continued last spring, when staff visited with alumni and friends at many small, mid-sized and large firms to discuss hiring needs and opportunities for employment for our students and alumni. Seton Hall Law graduates gather after the Morris County Alumni CLE program held on March 31, 2011 in East Hanover. Pictured, from left: Jacqueline C. Pirone ’04, John Cascarano ’07, Robert Spitzer ’06 and Jenee Cicciarelli ’08. Seton Hall Law invites alumni to serve as panelists and planners for the many career development and networking events held at the Law School for the benefit of students and alumni. On October 22, 2011, Seton Hall Law hosted a day-long career conference sponsored by the American Society of Law, Medicine Ethics.

Seton Hall Law Career Conference ‘‘ ’’ I give to the Fund for Seton Hall Law because I am grateful for the education I received, which enabled me to land top-notch clerkships and a position at one of New Jersey’s premier firms. It is important to me that every dollar goes directly to the Law School and positively impacts current students. The Fund supports such important programs as clinics, moot court, journals and various clubs, and enables the Law School to assemble attractive financial packages to recruit outstanding students. As the Law School and its reputation continue to soar, I know that the value of my degree does as well. — Mara Zazzali-Hogan ’98
26 Seton Hall Law Magazine Seton Hall Law paid tribute to Patrick C. Dunican Jr., ’91, at the Annual Alumni Dinner Dance on April 29, 2011, honoring him as the Law School’s 2011 Distinguished Graduate. In his remarks, Dean Hobbs lauded Dunican for his extraordinary achievements and unwavering commitment to the Law School’s success, noting, “Patrick Dunican is a modern lawyer. Patrick Dunican is an old-fashioned lawyer.” As a modern lawyer, Dunican shines as Chairman and Managing Director of Gibbons P.C. in Newark. Law360 named him one of the nation’s most innovative managing partners in 2010. NJBIZ has listed him among the 100 most powerful people in New Jersey business, and Ernst Young has recognized him as an “Entrepreneur of the Year.” During his tenure as Managing Director of Gibbons, the firm has significantly increased revenue and profits, expanded to five Mid-Atlantic offices, joined the Am Law 200 for the first time and appeared as one of only 20 firms on The National Law Journal’s inaugural “Midsize Hot List.” Dunican also launched an unprecedented strategic branding campaign for the firm. Today, Gibbons is one of only 38 brands to be featured prominently in Steve Adubato’s book, You Are the Brand. “Patrick’s always been a visionary,” says David De Lorenzi, Chair of the Gibbons Intellectual Property Department. “His leadership in the creation and endowment of the Gibbons Institute of Law, Science Technology at Seton Hall Law, for example, led to a win/win for Seton Hall, for the Gibbons firm and for the broader legal and business communities. That’s what Patrick does – he sees symmetries and opportunities, forges them together with diplomacy, intellect and foresight, and makes things happen.” But Dunican is also an old-fashioned lawyer. A man of integrity, Dunican cares deeply for his colleagues, clients, and community. “Every decision he makes is based on one simple question: Is it the right thing to do? That strong moral ethic is the core of his success today,” says June M. Inderwies, the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of Gibbons. “Patrick has made Gibbons one of the brightest stars in the community through programs such as the Gibbons Fellowship, which supports two full-time public service attorneys,” says Michael Griffinger, one of Dunican’s partners at Gibbons. “His work underscores the firm’s commitment to, and his own leadership in, the community.” Dean Hobbs observed,“Patrick is a true role model for our students. He exemplifies the modern lawyer who understands and excels at the business side of our profession, but he never forgets the lawyer’s duty to client and community and the core values of justice and fairness that underlie that responsibility. We are extremely grateful for all he does to assist Seton Hall Law to achieve the same level of excellence that he sets for himself.” Dunican honed his leadership skills as Editor-in-Chief of the Seton Hall Law Review and graduated cum laude. Following a clerkship with the Honorable Clarkson S. Fisher in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, he joined the firm now known as Gibbons P.C., where, in 1999, he became one of the youngest attorneys ever elected partner. In 2002, Seton Hall Law recognized his early career achievements with its Distinguished Young Alumni Award. He was elected his firm’s Managing Director in 2004, at age 36. Dunican has always found time to give back to Seton Hall Law. He has been a member of the Red Mass committee and Alumni Council, as well as an Adjunct Professor. He is currently Vice Chair of the Board of Visitors and Co-chair of its Strategic Planning Committee. He also served as Co-chair of the Seton Hall Rising Campaign, which raised more than $26 million for the university. Why does Dunican give so much to Seton Hall Law? “One of the reasons Gibbons is such a special place is that almost 20 percent of our lawyers are from Seton Hall Law,” he explains. “There are so many ways to help people, and one of the ways that makes me happiest is to help enhance the value of a Seton Hall Law degree. I am not trying to save the world – just the world around me.” 2011 Distinguished Graduate

28 Seton Hall Law Magazine I n this issue of Seton Hall Law we pay tribute to those who made the Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign a resounding success. Among those who have played a vital part in that success are a group of individuals who gathered together for the first time in the fall of 2004. Known officially as the Board of Visitors, this group of 50 alumni and friends has contributed greatly to the vision for the Law School and its implementation. During the last seven years, the Board has provided advice to the dean, faculty and senior administration on matters of policy, planning, academic programming, admissions and financial aid, career services, alumni relations and development. The Board of Visitors has been and remains actively engaged in the future of the Law School. Board members have shared their unique leadership talents to expand opportunities for students. New academic programs, such as the revamped and much-vaunted Legal Practice Curriculum, have resulted from collaborative efforts of the Board and faculty. The Board of Visitors has also helped develop the resources required to continue Seton Hall’s rise as one we paytribute In this issue Pictured, left: Mitch F. Baumeister ’72, Board of Visitors Chair 2008 to 2011; Peter N. Larson ’74, Current Chair; Bill McGuire ’58, founding Chair, 2004 to 2008; and Dean Hobbs.
29Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu of the nation’s top law schools. Early in the Board’s tenure, a committee was formed, led by Peter Larson ’74 and then-Associate Dean Kathleen M. Boozang, to work with members of the faculty, administration and community in a strategic planning process that resulted in a five-year strategic plan. This plan recognized the Law School’s existing strengths and future opportunities, as well as its greatest challenges. Implementing the plan required increased philanthropic support and, thus, discussions about launching a campaign began. The Board of Visitors has had an immense impact on the Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign. Many Board members stepped up, taking on leadership roles as Campaign Leadership Co-Chairs and Team Members. The entire Board participated actively in the Campaign, contributing and helping to secure 40 percent of the $25 million Campaign goal. The Board of Visitors’ commitment to excellence con- tinues beyond the Campaign. New Board committees have been formed in recent months to focus on commu- nications, alumni relations and development to further connect the community with the legal profession at large. The Seton Hall Law community has benefited greatly from the efforts of the ambassadors who make up the Board of Visitors. This tremendous collaboration will help ensure that Seton Hall Law keeps rising in the years ahead. “The creation of the Board of Visitors marked a maturation of Seton Hall Law and deep- ened the School’s relationship with bench and bar. Especially in an era of far-reaching changes in legal education, the Board offers us a unique opportunity to meld academic concerns with the changing needs of the legal profession.” — Professor Charles A.

After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1999, Diaz joined the United States Marine Corps and led the first unit to enter the Afghan city of Kabul following the attacks of September 11. He was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for leading the rescue of an Army two-star General and 14 of his staff members. When Diaz applied to law schools, he attended a scheduled visit at Seton Hall Law. “I attended one of Professor Franzese’s classes and that got me. I fell in love with the place,” he said. In recognition of his strong academic performance and his distinguished military career, Diaz was awarded the Bob and Margot Meyer God Bless America Scholarship, made possible by the generosity of The MCJ Amelior Foundation in honor of Robert O. Meyer ’77 and his wife, Margot. Diaz participates actively in the Seton Hall Law community. He is involved in the Interscholastic Moot Court Board and the Entertainment And Sports Law Journal and serves as the Student Bar Association’s Social Chair this year. He is also Professor Franzese’s research assistant. Last semester he completed an internship with the Honorable Judge Esther Salas, USDJ. Diaz was a summer associate at McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter LLP in Morristown this summer. “I have grown interested in bankruptcy law and corporate debt restructuring, which give you both transactional and litigation experience. I feel Seton Hall Law and my experi- ence at McElroy Deutsch have truly prepared me for the upcoming challenges of a clerkship and practice.” About the Cover 49Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Peter W.

  • 3. 1Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu The most ambitious fundraising campaign in Seton Hall Law School’s history has soared past its $25 million goal.In the pages that follow, we encourage you, our alumni and supporters, to explore some of the significant recent accomplish- ments made possible through your generous support of this campaign, which will allow Seton Hall Law to continue to rise to new heights in the years ahead. I am honored to report that thanks to more than 4,000 individual and organizational donors, Seton Hall Law Rising has raised more than $26 million toward its campaign goals. All of us at Seton Hall Law School are humbled that so many of you have entrusted us to steward your financial gifts for the betterment of this institution. The overwhelming success of Seton Hall Law Rising is a statement from our alumni and the business community that Seton Hall Law is, indeed, extraordinary. The Campaign’s success extends the Law School’s ability to fulfill its mission by increasing student access to legal education; supporting faculty members whose research benefits business, government and society at large; developing academic programs that provide forums to discuss and address complex legal, ethical, political and social issues; enhancing direct legal services for New Jersey’s most needy citizens while also providing hands-on skills training to our students; and growing networking and continuing education opportunities to benefit our alumni throughout their careers. The new student scholarships, increased faculty and academic program support, improved facilities and growing tradition of our robust annual fund will have a tremen- dous impact – with potential to improve our global community for years to come. None of this would have been possible without the clear and ambitious vision provided by the faculty and the Board of Visitors in the Law School’s Strategic Plan, which informed the Campaign’s priorities. Another vital ingredient to this recipe for success was the tremendous leadership provided by our volunteers. Campaign Co-Chairs Patrick C. Dunican Jr. ’91 and Joseph P. LaSala ’72, both highly successful leaders in the New Jersey legal and business communities, gave credibility to the notion of raising an unprecedented amount of money for Seton Hall Law School. They also had the courage to stay the course when the economic recession hit hard. I am exceedingly grateful for their guidance as well as the hard work and support of all of our volunteers, without whom the Campaign would have remained just a dream. While the Campaign has wrapped up, our plans for the future are just beginning. Our commitment will continue to be on reaching new heights in the years ahead. Future goals will be focused on the academic vision for the Law School developed by the faculty and administration in consultation with the Law School’s Board of Visitors, Alumni Council and other advisory boards. I look forward to your continued involvement in our community. Together, we will write the next chapter in Seton Hall Law’s ascent. Sincerely, Patrick E. Hobbs, Dean Letter from the Dean
  • 4. 2 Seton Hall Law Magazine The Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign is an unqualified success. The Law School is stronger than it was six years ago. There are more resources for student aid, teaching and scholarship. Thoughtfully renovated spaces have dramatically improved the learning environment and created a stronger sense of community. Innovative academic programs are fostering dialogue with busi- ness, influencing public policy and changing people’s lives. Students have programs and places to enrich their experience in and out of the classroom, and they–as well as others at Seton Hall Law–are reaching out to the local community, the state, the nation and the world as never before. The Campaign helped make all of that and more possible. The Seton Hall Law Rising vision became a reality thanks to the commitment of hundreds of volunteers led by our Campaign Leadership Team, thousands of donors and a devoted staff led by our superb dean. We are very proud to be part of this community. Thank you for your continued dedication to Seton Hall Law. Joseph P. LaSala ’72 Patrick C. Dunican Jr. ’91 Co-Chairs, Seton Hall Law Rising Thankyoufor being part of something $25 $20 $15 $10 $5 $0 $26.3 M $5.1 M The total private dollars raised during the six years immediately preceding the Campaign was $5.1 million. The total private dollars raised during the six years of the Campaign exceeded $26.3 million. Million extraordinary
  • 5. 3Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu We have reached the Campaign goal and grown in national prominence, which has strengthened our Law School. As a graduate, I find the accomplishments of Seton Hall Law astonishing. I submit to all of you that it is the right time to include the last ingredient: you. I will attempt to convince you during my year as your Alumni Council president to come back home. Come back to Newark and invest in our future. Seton Hall Law students are the lawyers of tomorrow. They extend our legacy and lineage. The opportunities to contribute to the Seton Hall Law commu- nity are endless, and they draw upon your greatest gifts as a legal professional. Serve as a mentor. Be a guest speaker: talk about your career path or about your area of legal expertise. Coach a moot court team. Or just swing by and join us at a networking event. That one short moment in time could make all the difference to our talented students. Each of us was chosen to attend Seton Hall Law because of the unique traits that make us who we are. Your finest qualities made this law school the great institution that it is today. Seton Hall Law dominates the New Jersey bench and bar and has an ever- growing competitive edge in New York City and throughout the East Coast, with a growing presence in every state in the nation. From personal experience, I know how challenging it can be to juggle yet another obligation along with work and our family lives. However, the time you spend with students today offers excellent professional returns, and you won’t need to sacrifice your law practice or your family. I ask of you all to pledge your time. Not an exorbitant amount – just a moment. You’d be surprised how even a small amount of time can lead us to new heights as a law school. I look forward to welcoming you home this coming year.

  • 6. 4 Seton Hall Law Magazine LawSchool Briefs The Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy Seton Hall Law School has had a vibrant, nationally recognized health law program for nearly two decades. In 2007, with new partnerships, grants and input from some of the best practitioners in the field, the Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy took shape formally. Since that time, the health law program has reached new heights. Key to the Center’s success has been financial and intellectual input from legal and health care professionals working in hospitals, life sci- ences companies, government agencies, hospitals and other health care organizations. Today, the Center hosts a variety of educational programs to help law students prepare for a health law career. Following are some of the contributions that have helped shape Seton Hall Law’s remarkable Center in 2010-11. The $5 million Harvey Washington Wiley Chaired Professorship in Corporate Governance & Business Ethics, endowed by Bristol- Myers Squibb, was formally announced in 2007. Since then, the Chaired Professor- ship has paved the way for visiting professors representing a breadth of areas falling under the expansive umbrella of “corporate governance.” From “The Speculation Economy” to the “Changing Dynamics of the Pharmaceutical Post-Market Arena” and the “Human Rights Responsibilities of Pharmaceutical Companies,” Seton Hall has opened its doors and the minds of its students and the greater Law School ExpansionEnhancement & in the Campaign Years Professor Steven L.

Spencer Professor of Law, University of Nebraska College of Law, who presented, “Whistling at Work: Why Employers Undervalue Whistleblower Protections.” Since 2003, Johnson & Johnson’s support for the Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy has been extensive and multifaceted – with participation by its health law and compliance attorneys as adjunct profes- sors, guest lecturers, compliance program instructors and roundtable discussion members. In 2010-11, Johnson & Johnson provided unrestricted contributions to support the work of the Center. These contributions, in conjunc- tion with the development of self-supporting continuing education initiatives, have made possible the expansion of the Center’s programs for working professionals, including the European Healthcare Compliance Programme, an advanced pharmaceutical compliance training program, and the online Graduate Certificate in Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Law & Compliance. Ernst & Young provided support to Seton Hall Law’s growing European healthcare compliance efforts. With the inaugural Programme taking place in Paris in June 2010 and subsequent sessions, also in Paris, in February, June and November 2011, the Center has taken its Healthcare Compliance Certification Program to a new level, preparing pharmaceutical and medical device professionals for a truly global workplace. This academic year The Center for Health & Pharma- ceutical Law & Policy also initiated a partnership with Rutgers Center for State Health Policy and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, through which Professor John V. Jacobi, Dorothea Dix Professor of Health Law & Policy, and Kate Greenwood, Research Fellow & Lecturer in Law, conducted research related to New Jersey Law Reform in Response to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Center is also partnering with Rutgers Center for State Health Policy on a project for the New Jersey Depart- ment of Banking and Insurance examining policy issues related to the imple- mentation of the Affordable Care Act. Taking the lead on this project are Professor Jacobi and Tara Ragone, Research Fellow & Lecturer in Law. In particular, the project will produce briefs on federal and state methodologies calculating medical loss in health insurance and requirements for entities respon- sible for eligibility determinations and tax credits for government programs.

  • 8. 6 Seton Hall Law Magazine Gibbons Institute In 2007, Gibbons P.C. generously endowed $1 million to support the Law School’s Gibbons Institute of Law, Science & Technology, a center of excellence that explores the political and legal implications of the advances in technology that are transforming how we live and how we work. Among the Gibbons Institute’s many achievements is a new program in the thriving area of Cybersecurity Law. In 2010, Seton Hall Law School was awarded a grant, in conjunction with Rutgers School of Law-Newark, to implement the Cybersecurity Law Project. This multifac- eted program included two new courses, Cybersecurity Law and Cybersecurity Crimes and Practice; a full-day conference with continuing legal education (CLE) credits provided; a portal website; and summer intern- ships in cybersecurity units at New Jersey’s county prosecutors’ offices. The program prepares students for the challenges that await them in a variety of legal areas and also provides free-of-charge training for assistant prosecutors who were invited to audit the courses and attend the conference. In the past year the Gibbons Institute expanded its CLE programs for attorneys throughout the region with roundtables, lectures and symposia. Among the most popular programs was, “The District of New Jersey’s Local Patent Rules: A Year in Review, and Where We Go From Here,” a panel discussion featuring the Honorable Garrett E. Brown, Jr., Chief Judge, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey; and the Honorable Tonianne J. Bongiovanni ’98, Federal Magis- trate, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In 2008, Chief Judge Brown appointed a special Local Patent Rules Committee to review and evaluate the need to create separate local rules governing patent cases in the district, one of the most active patent venues in the country. The committee, comprising district judges, magistrate judges and attorneys, recommended that a standard protocol for patent cases would be useful to the court and the parties and submitted local patent rules. The new rules took effect on January 1, 2009. Chief Judge Brown, Magistrate Judge Bongiovanni and a distinguished panel of practitioners shared their experiences with the district’s new rules, and considered amendments and practical tips for dealing with patent litigation in New Jersey. The event attracted more than 100 guests. On June 8, Seton Hall Law, Rutgers Law-Newark and the Bergen County Pros- ecutor’s Office hosted a day-long conference, Cybersecurity Law and Policy: Changing Paradigms and New Challenges.

  • 9. 7Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Center for Social Justice The Center for Social Justice (CSJ) success fully expanded its mission to provide legal services and advocacy on be- half of the underserved both locally and internationally. An expanded Pro Bono Service Program now enables Seton Hall Law to team with 45 organizations in the surrounding Newark com- munity. The program gives more than 100 students annually the opportunity to gain legal skills in such areas as criminal justice, mental health, community development and tax preparation services. Students in the Immigrants’ Rights/International Human Rights Clinic published a groundbreaking report on the abuses of day laborers in New Jersey. This report inspired Assemblywoman Annette Quijano to propose legislation adopting many of the report’s recommenda- tions. CSJ students also litigated on behalf of victims of predatory lending and unlawful foreclosure practices and secured important victories for indigent families. On an international level, CSJ initiated a new Rule of Law Program in Guatemala that will teach students about human rights issues and involve them in ongoing litigation and advocacy in support of access to justice. Legal Practice Curriculum The Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign has enabled the Law School to strengthen its Legal Practice Curriculum, a primary objective of the Seton Hall Law Strategic Plan. Thanks to the Campaign, a course in Persuasion and Advocacy is now required, while electives such as e-Discovery, Transactional Law and Trial Skills, taught by practicing attorneys and seasoned judges, simulate both case work and the courtroom experience. Expanded opportunities to compete in both intra- and interscholastic events throughout the country–moot court, mock trial, dispute resolution and appellate advocacy – teach students to work in teams as legal professionals and hone their analytical skills. Moot Court Board Seton Hall Law School’s Interscholastic Moot Court Board finished the year with 25 awards. The 2010- 2011 season saw a first-place finish at BMI’s National Entertainment Law Competition, a second-place finish at the Gabrielli National Family Law Competition, and a regional championship at the ABA’s National Appellate Advocacy Moot Court Competition. The Board was also honored with five Best Brief awards and five Oral Advocate awards. The awards ranked Seton Hall’s Inter- scholastic Moot Court Board as seventh in the nation by the Appellate Advocacy Institute. Dispute Resolution Society The Dispute Resolution Society is making its presence known on a national scale: after dominating the Regional Finals, Nima Ashtyani ’12 and Nick Stratton ’12 were named National Semi-Finalists at the American Bar Association’s Representation in Mediation Competition. This is the second year in a row that Seton Hall Law has reached the Final Four. Ashtyani, President of the Dispute Resolution Society, remarked, “Since receiving the James B. Boskey Memorial Foundation grant, Seton Hall Law has quickly become a force to be reckoned with. And because so much of our law school curriculum is devoted to skills training, we seem to enter these competitions with a natural advantage.” Professor Lori Nessel, Director of the Seton Hall Law Center for Social Justice Nima Ashtyani ’12, left, and Nick Stratton ’12, right, with Professor David M.

  • 10. 8 Seton Hall Law Magazine Mock Trial Program Anthony P. DiTommaso, Jr. ’97 and his family demonstrated their support of the Legal Practice Cur- riculum with a generous contribution to endow the Seton Hall Law Mock Trial Program, now in its third year. DiTommaso is particularly impressed by the Mock Trial Program because it reflects the remarkable growth of Seton Hall Law under Dean Hobbs’ leadership. He commented, “I encourage my fellow alumni to join me in recognizing Dean Hobbs’ outstanding leadership, which has transformed our law school. This is a wonderful opportunity to thank Dean Hobbs for the last 12 years of a job very well done.” The Mock Trial Board is driven by dedicated students and just as important, by a devoted, enthusiastic teacher. “Coach Jen,” as she is known to her students, came to Seton Hall Law after years with the Bronx District Attorney’s Office. Skills Program Director Professor Maya Grosz describes Coach Jen as “a dynamic and inspirational teacher and mentor” and notes that the students who participate annually on the Mock Trial Board benefit greatly from her guidance. The students agree. As Katie Myers ’11, Mock Trial Board Co-Chair, explained, “Coach Jen sat down with the whole team and really taught us all the evidentiary rules, how to argue them in court and how to apply them. She also used her prosecutorial experience to help us understand what will or won’t resonate with a jury. All that training paid off. After my first semester on the team, I was knowledgeable and confident in my abilities.” Seton Hall Law Launches Investor Advocacy Project Seton Hall Law has launched the Investor Advocacy Project, offering free legal representation for investors in New Jersey with limited income or small dollar claims who have a dispute with an investment professional and are unable to obtain legal counsel. This program is made possible by a grant from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Investor Education Foundation, the largest foundation in the United States dedicated to investor education. The Seton Hall Law Investor Advocacy Project is the first FINRA Foundation-funded resource in New Jersey. The Investor Advocacy Project curriculum, launched this semester, combines knowledge of securities law with skills-based training. The program is led by Professor Maya Grosz, who directs the Law School’s Legal Practice Curriculum. Adjunct Professor David M. White, who supervises student prosecution of investor claims and also directs the Dispute Resolution competi- tion team, said, “Seton Hall prepares its graduates for making an immediate, positive impact within our legal community. The Investor Advocacy Project will hone various essential lawyering skills including case manage- ment, client counseling and conflict resolution.” LawSchool Briefs Celebrating the launch of the Seton Hall Law Investor Advocacy Project, are, from left: Professor David M.

  • 11. 9Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Advancing Diversity in the Law Seton Hall Law School is committed to a sustained, interconnected and ever-growing effort to recruit and support students with diverse backgrounds and those with socioeconomic and educational disadvantages – from all cultures. For over 30 years, the Law School has built bridges to diverse communities, establishing a pipeline from those communities into the legal profes- sion. The Campaign has supported these efforts. “Pipeline” programs – the Summer Institute for Pre-Legal Studies and Legal Education Opportunities (LEO) Program – have enabled Seton Hall Law to support a host of students at the college and graduate levels. These students might not otherwise have ever had the opportunity to attend law school. Graduates of these programs have gone on to become state and federal judges, partners and associates at major law firms, high ranking governmental officials and advisors, and major forces within business and industry. In 2006, Seton Hall Law supported the launch of the New Jersey Legal Education Empowerment Program (NJ LEEP), which exposes middle school and high school inner-city youth to careers in the law and focuses on preparation for college through programs held both during the school year and in the summer. The rigorous curriculum runs six days and 14 hours each week through the school year, combining academic tutoring, law-based courses and SAT preparation in its “College Bound” program. In June, the very first cohort of NJ LEEP’s “College Bound” students came of age: all NJ LEEP high school seniors are attending college, with the majority attending Top 100 schools including Bryn Mawr College, Mount Holyoke College, Stevens Institute of Technology and Drew University. In 2008, Dean Hobbs created the Dean’s Diversity Council, an advisory body of faculty, alumni, students and administrators who provide strategic oversight in support of Seton Hall Law and its many diversity initiatives. The Council created a Strategic Vision for Diversity, which highlights the Law School’s long-standing com- mitment to diversity and identifies specific objectives, along with strategies and goals enhance our efforts. Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., pictured with Professor Solangel Maldonado, was a guest speaker at the Third National People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference, Our Country, Our World In a ‘Post-Racial’ Era, hosted by Seton Hall Law in September, 2010. The conference was the largest gathering of diverse law faculty in the United States – more than 500 faculty, practi- tioners and students from across the country, Canada and the United Kingdom joined together to examine and support the role of faculty of color in the teaching of law. Professor Maldonado, who chairs the Dean’s Diversity Council, brought this prestigious conference to fruition with a dedicated team of colleagues nationwide as well as Seton Hall Law faculty, alumni, administrators and students.

  • 12. 10 Seton Hall Law Magazine Scholarships Fellowships& T hanks to the generosity of many alumni and friends, Seton Hall Law has introduced new scholarships and fellowships that are changing the lives of students by increasing access for those who might not otherwise attend law school, attracting stellar applicants and assisting students who are committed to public interest and public service. CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG LAWYERS
  • 13. 11Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu A Scholarship Success Story For some students, Seton Hall Law’s supportive envi- ronment, combined with its commitment to diversity and its scholarship options for students in need, make it the perfect choice. One such student is Tamara Coley ’10, who is now an associate specializing in pharmaceutical patent litigation at Kenyon & Kenyon in New York City. A native of Orange, Tamara has impressive credentials – an under- graduate degree in biology from Haverford College, a Masters in Public Health from Columbia University, and a J.D. from Seton Hall Law – that tell only half the story. Having lost her parents as a young girl, Tamara was raised by her grandparents. With the assistance of teacher-mentors and others, Tamara learned to navigate the educational system and, in particular, to win scholar- ships and seek out environments that would enable her to challenge herself and gain the best education possible. “Both my Kaplen Scholarship and the Legal Education Opportunity (LEO) Program are a big part of why I came to Seton Hall, but an equally big part of it was the sense of community I found here,” Coley said. “My initial attraction to Seton Hall Law was its esteemed Health Law concentration. What ultimately brought me here was so much more. Experience has shown me that I thrive in intimate and nurturing academic environ- ments. Professor Christina Bennett and the Academic Success Program gave me just that. LEO helped me gain entrance to Seton Hall Law and the Academic Success Program gave me the tools I needed to perform my best academically while there. “Clearly there is no single component of my law school experience that I can point to as the reason things ‘clicked’ for me. Instead, I believe it was the whole package that helped me to succeed,” she explained. “The Kaplen Schol- arship and my graduate assistant position are actually what allowed me to quit my job and pursue law school on a full-time basis. What was equally important to me in regard to my graduate assistant position, were the rela- tionships I forged while working there. The women in the Health Law Department were not only my bosses, but became my friends and some of my biggest cheer- leaders. It is experiences like these that made Seton Hall not just my law school, but my home.” Paying It Forward – Scholarships Scholarships and fellowships enhance the lives of the recipients, but they also celebrate the lives and tell the stories of those for whom they are named. Thanks to the success of the Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign, the Law School has created 40 new scholarships and fellowships since 2005. Through these scholarships, the Law School community collectively remembers and pays homage to very special people. Included here are some of the most recently announced awards. Professor Gerard Carey Endowed Scholarship The Professor Gerard Carey Scholarship was created through many generous individual gifts in honor of the late Professor Gerard Carey, who taught at Seton Hall Law from 1954 to 1991. Most recently, the scholarship endowment was given a boost when the law firm of Graham Curtin directed a generous gift to support it. The scholarship is awarded to a student from New York or New Jersey who possesses both merit and need, and demonstrates the strong character and values exem- plified by Professor Carey. Both my Kaplen Scholarship and the Legal Education Opportunity Program are a big part of why I came to Seton Hall, but an equally big part of it was the sense of community I found here. ‘‘ ’’ Pictured, from left, are Michael Carey ’87; Christopher Carey ’82; Thomas Zuppa ’12, 2011-12 SBA President; Catherine Carey ’13, Christopher Carey’s daughter; and Dean Hobbs. — Tamara Coley ’11
  • 14. 12 Seton Hall Law Magazine The Harold A. Ackerman Judicial Fellowship In December 2009, the New Jersey legal community mourned the loss of the Honorable Harold A. Ackerman, U.S. District Judge for the District of New Jersey. The Fellowship, established in his memory, was recently cre- ated through the support of friends, family and former law clerks of the esteemed judge. This fitting tribute to Judge Ackerman’s legacy will be awarded annually to a Seton Hall Law student who has accepted a full-time Federal Judicial Internship with a United States District Judge in the summer following his or her first or second year of law school. It is the hope of those who established the Fellowship not only to decrease the financial burden on the student recipient, but also to welcome him or her into the Ackerman extended family and provide a network of support and mentorship. Professor William E. Garland Memorial Scholarship This scholarship was created in memory of the late Profes- sor William E. Garland ’69 (pictured), who taught at Seton Hall Law from 1976 through 2009. It benefits students in the Legal Educa- tion Opportunities Program (LEO) in recognition of Professor Garland’s cherished participation in the LEO program. Two scholarships are awarded annually, to a rising second-year and to a rising third-year student who have demonstrated academic success and a commitment to public service. Several scholarships to pay for books will also be awarded to LEO students. The Cino Family Scholarship in Honor of Jude M. Hartnett The Scholarship was created by Richard J. Cino ’90 and his wife Mary A. Hartnett ’90 along with his brother and sister-in-law, Vincent A. and Julia M. Cino. It will be awarded annually in honor of Mary’s father, Jude M. Hartnett ’80, to a student who grew up, and attended high school, in Jersey City or Newark or other urban area in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. Other eligible candidates will be those who have served in any branch of the U.S. military, with preference given to those who have served in the U.S. Marine Corps. The Karol Corbin Walker LEO Alumni Scholarship Endowment This Endowed Scholarship was created in 2011 thanks to the generosity of Karol Corbin Walker ’86 (pictured), a founding member of the Law School’s Board of Visitors, 2003 recipient of the Law School’s Distinguished Graduate Award, and 2009 recipient of the Saint Thomas More Medal at the Law School’s 25th Annual Red Mass. This Scholarship will provide financial relief to a student who is a member of the Legal Education Opportunities Program (LEO), which supports students who have been disadvantaged by a lack of a quality early educational experience. The Karol Corbin Walker LEO Alumni Scholarship will assist student recipients who might not otherwise be able to afford law school with an opportunity to realize their full potential.

Bonilla ’92, Senior Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General, from Washington, D.C. For the past five years, the Samuel J. Heyman Public Interest Fellowship Program has pro- vided students with both incentive and compensation to explore a career in the federal government. At the annual lecture, Bonilla inspired students by discussing his many job responsibilities, highlighting advice he has provided on a wide range of legal, legislative and policy issues relating to criminal justice including white-collar crime, financial and corporate fraud, public corruption and heath care fraud. The Program has supported 17 students and eight alumni during the Campaign. Fifth Annual Samuel J.

  • 17. 15Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu Serving the “Cause of Justice” The Seton Hall Class of 2011, 314 graduates in all, celebrated its Commence- ment at the Prudential Center, at which members of the University, Law School Faculty, and Boards of Regents and Visitors joined in. United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey Paul J. Fishman served as Commencement Speaker and received an honorary degree from Seton Hall Law. Touting a love of learning he shared with his late father, who served as a professor at City College in New York for 62 years, Mr. Fishman gave a moving tribute to his father as he expressed his thanks. It was the perfect send-off on a day when families and friends looked at the new graduates with the same affection Mr. Fishman showed toward his father. While he talked of the extraordinary pride his father would have for the honor he received, it was equally clear that Mr. Fishman shared those feelings for the graduating class before him: “This morning when you walk through the doors of The Rock, you are all students at Seton Hall Law School. In an hour or two when you leave through those same doors, you will leave as something else, you will be lawyers,” Mr. Fishman said. He told them that accomplishment should mean more than “simply surviving the rigors of law school or winning a plum job at a prestigious firm.” It gives each graduate a special gift – and a special responsibility. And that responsibility has nothing to do with whether they actually pursue the practice of law: “You have an obligation to use your legal training and expertise to serve the cause of justice and the principles upon which our nation is built.” That gives graduates of Seton Hall Law School an important role in society: “People will look to you for understanding and for guidance, not just for advice on particular matters, but for your views. And they want your views as a whole because you speak a language that they don’t, because you studied things that they haven’t – so your voice and your opinion will carry extra weight.” Fishman recognized the dedication it took the graduates to reach this point: “I look out over the crowd and feel a chill of pride and excitement for those of you who have spent three or four years here, as these faculty members behind me mentored, watched, and helped you learn what you need to know. For them, the sense of accomplishment, and hope for the achievement and expectation of skill and promise, is extraordinary. “This law school has given you tools and the expertise, the learning and the friendships, the skills and the doctrine to help your clients, to make remarks, to serve your country and to change the world. Everyone in this room is proud of you. Everyone in this room sees your promise. Everyone in this room is counting on you. You are lawyers.” Bisola Taiwo and Dean Hobbs celebrate outside the Prudential Center following Commencement. SEton Hall Law2011 Commencement Paul J. Fishman Paul J.

He supported the Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign by endowing a faculty research fellowship. The inau- gural recipient of the Maury Cartine Endowed Faculty Research Fellowship is Professor Marina Lao. “I am very honored to receive this Fellowship and I’m very grateful to Mr. Cartine for his long-standing dedication and generosity to the Law School,” she says. The Fellowship supports Professor Lao’s research into the antitrust concerns raised by the recently rejected Google Book settlement. Professor Lao explained why research support is so important: “To be good teachers we have stay on top of current legal issues so we can teach not only the theory of law, but also how it is currently applied in practice.” Professor Michael J. Ambrosio Endowed Faculty Chair “My dream was to live a life full of meaning. I wanted to make a difference. As a teacher and as a lawyer, I have been able to live that sort of life, and I want to express my gratefulness. One of the great blessings in my life has been being a part of this university. It has given me the opportunity to pursue the truth and that’s a wonderful opportunity to have. My wife and I, through this gift, would like to make that opportunity available to others.” — Professor Michael J. Ambrosio Professor Andrea J. Catania Endowed Faculty Chair “Andrea Catania was a beloved teacher, mentor, colleague and friend. Her energy was infec- tious and her love of teaching was unparalleled. I am honored to be named the first Andrea J. Catania Faculty Chair holder, and I am grateful to the friends and family who have made this endowment possible.” — Professor Charles A. Sullivan Schering-Plough Professorship in Health Care Regulation and Enforcement “With the resources of the Schering-Plough Professorship, I have been focusing my scholarship on the new chal- lenges raised by health data. I’ve been working closely with interested students and am devising what I believe will be the first law school seminar devoted to health data, privacy and innovation. Seton Hall has a stellar health law group, and I want to help lead our participation in the ‘health data revolution.’ The Schering-Plough Professorship is helping to make that possible.” — Professor Frank Pasquale Professor Frank Pasquale Professor Andrea J.

  • 20. 18 Seton Hall Law Magazine Notable Faculty Initiatives Professor Margaret Lewis Brings a Focus on China and the Law When Professor Margaret Lewis was 10 years old, her family hosted a teacher from Shanghai who came to the United States to teach Chinese at their local high school. This brush with Chinese culture sparked a lifelong interest in China that has shaped and guided her academic and professional career. Professor Lewis joined the Seton Hall Law faculty in 2009 and teaches a unique class, Law in Contemporary China. This past February, she organized an event at Seton Hall Law that presented Human Rights Watch’s latest report on China, “Promises Unfulfilled: An Assessment of China’s National Human Rights Action Plan.” Last fall, the Law School was the only New Jersey location selected for the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations’ China Town Hall, a national day of programming on China. Professor Lewis’s research focuses on the intersection of Chinese legal studies with criminal procedure, criminal law and international law. She recently won the Jerome A. Cohen Prize for International Law and East Asia from New York University’s Journal of International Law and Politics for her article, “Controlling Abuse to Maintain Control: The Exclusionary Rule in China.” She also has a forthcoming article on reforms to the death penalty in China, which will appear in the Columbia Journal of Asian Law. Professor Brian Sheppard Prepares a Report for the Honduran Truth Commission With five months left in his term and a new presidential election underway, in 2009 President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras was said to explore polling the Honduran citizenry to seek an extended term in office – though a Constitutional provision limits presidential terms to four years and strips the president of his power if he attempts to stay in office. The Honduran Supreme Court subsequently ordered Zelaya’s arrest. As a result, today only 11 countries recognize the current Honduran government. Honduras, now eager to gain legitimacy in the eyes of the world, formed a Truth and Reconcili- ation Commission.

He gathered a team of constitutional law experts and submitted the winning proposal to the Commission. Assisted by Seton Hall Law students, Professor Sheppard and his colleagues delivered the final report to the Commission this summer. Professor Sheppard said, “The report is both retrospective and prospective. We need to understand what happened in the context of constitutional application. We also are charged with making recommendations that would improve the con- stitution so these sorts of lapses and misunderstandings cannot happen again.” The Last Resort Exoneration Project The Last Resort Exoneration Project at Seton Hall Law celebrated its official launch in February 2011. Described by the New Jersey Law Journal as “New Jersey’s Answer to the Innocence Project,” the initiative, founded and led by Lesley Risinger ’03 and Professor Michael Risinger, focuses primarily on non-DNA exonerations of the factually innocent convicted in New Jersey. This newest Seton Hall Law initiative was met at the launch with acclaim by speakers Barry C. Scheck, Co-Founder of The Innocence Project at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, and Raymond A. Brown, famed criminal defense attorney and host of New Jersey Network’s Due Process. Pictured at the launch reception, from left, are Barry Scheck, Project Director Lesley Risinger, Raymond Brown and Professor Michael Risinger. Professor Jonathan Hafetz Habeas Corpus After 9/11: Confronting America’s New Global Detention System (New York University Press) In his new book, Professor Hafetz examines the rise of the U.S.-run global detention system that emerged after 9/11 and the efforts to challenge this system through habeas corpus. In the age of terrorism, some argue that habeas corpus is impractical and unwise. Hafetz argues that it remains a bulwark of liberty and the single most important check against arbitrary and unlawful detention, torture and the abuse of executive power. The book provides a thorough account of why habeas corpus matters so much and what should be done to preserve the Great Writ. Professor Paula Franzese A Short Happy Guide to Property Law (West Publications) This efficient and painless guide to Property Law was designed to take often difficult subject matter and make it accessible and easy to remember. Distilling her famed teaching methods, Professor Paula Franzese sets forth understandable tech- niques for mastering estates in land and future interests, concurrent estates, landlord-tenant law, servitudes, land transactions, recording system, zoning and eminent domain. The book will undoubtedly hold a cherished place in the minds of law students nationwide. Faculty Books Faculty News
  • 22. 20 Seton Hall Law Magazine Enhancing the Student Environment C hange is constant. To continue to meet the needs of today’s law students and the legal pro- fession, Seton Hall is committed to providing a vibrant learning environment that fosters collaboration among students, alumni and faculty. Thanks to the support of many alumni and friends during the Campaign, the Law School facility is more technologically advanced and offers more comfortable, vibrant surroundings – conducive to learning and living – than ever before.

  • 23. 21Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu The Larson Auditorium “Faculty and students appreciate the technological and furnishing upgrades made to the Larson Auditorium this past summer thanks to the generosity of Peter and Lee Larson. This space is one of the hubs of the Law School – where we teach classes and host lectures, con- ferences and symposia for the legal community, including CLE events for alumni. It is also where we celebrate educational milestones for our students, from Orienta- tion to Bar swearing-in ceremonies. The improvements to the Larson Auditorium have resulted in a much more comfortable, laptop-friendly setting replete with modern technology.” — Erik Lillquist, Vice Dean Baumeister Cafeteria “In the book of Genesis, Abra- ham duly honors the traditions of hospitality legendary in every ancient society. He greets three strangers at his tent and gener- ously offers them food and a place to rest. They turn out to be divine messengers. In the sixth century, St. Benedict, a lawyer by training, instructed his monks, ‘Treat every guest as if he were Christ.’ Abraham and Benedict teach us that joining together for a meal is a cornerstone of community. And that is how I experience the Matthew Baumeister Cafeteria: an oasis of conversation and camaraderie that has allowed me to get to know the members of the Seton Hall Law community. As we break between classes, we talk about the events of the day. We argue, we laugh and sometimes, we reflect, in this warm, welcoming environment.” — Father Nicholas S. Gengaro, Chaplain, Seton Hall Law The Honorable John J. Gibbons Moot Court Room “When I first entered the Eugene Gressman Appellate Moot Court Competition last year, I was impressed by the formality and realism of the competition. Most especially, my rounds in the John J. Gibbons Moot Court Room made me feel like I was actually in a courthouse arguing before an appellate panel. This year, I found I had an edge in competing for the Interscholastic Moot Court Board because I had been practicing in the Gibbons Moot Court Room and was comfortable in a real courthouse setting. It’s an invaluable resource for Seton Hall students, helping them to become more confident in their trial advocacy skills.” — Lilianne Daniel ’11 From left to right: Peter N. Larson ’74, Maryle A. Larson and Vice Dean Erik Lillquist. There have been so many great improvements to the Law School facility since I began here three years ago. I’ve given many tours to prospective students, and it’s wonderful to see them come into the building and be amazed by how beautiful it is. ‘‘ — Christine McCarthy ’11 ’’

We are honored to support the renovation of the fifth floor meeting space to accommodate larger groups for important events and to improve the technology in what will become the DeCotiis Boardroom.” — Joseph M. DeCotiis ’94 TV Monitors “Whether entering the law school, navigating the hall- ways on the way to class or having a meal at the cafeteria, a casual glance at a TV monitor is all that’s necessary to know what’s going on at the Law School each week.

  • 26. 24 Seton Hall Law Magazine Thanks to a stronger Fund for Seton Hall Law, the Law School has been able to increase offerings for alumni to strengthen their professional network and provide important professional development opportunities. Continuing Legal Education In 2010, Seton Hall Law enhanced its already strong continuing legal education (CLE) offerings with the introduction of the Alumni CLE Program, which provides 12 credits of CLE courses annually, taught by our faculty free of charge to alumni. With lectures, conferences and symposia offered by Seton Hall Law student journals; the Gibbons Institute of Law, Science Technology; and the Center for Health Pharma- ceutical Law Policy, Seton Hall Law provided more than 70 credits of CLE credits last year. Networking Alumni networking opportunities have increased expo- nentially in recent years. In 2006, Seton Hall Law hosted two reunion classes whose members rejoiced with old friends from law school. By 2010, six reunion classes gathered to celebrate their milestones. In 2011, graduates from eight classes will reconnect with classmates at their reunions, which provide great networking opportunities. Additionally, Seton Hall Law has hosted regional networking receptions throughout New Jersey and in other areas where we have significant alumni populations, including Manhattan, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, Phoenix and Washington, D.C.On February 3, 2011, Professor Angela Carmella (pictured) and Professor Kathleen M. Boozang presented at the Hudson County Alumni CLE program. This program was followed by a networking reception in Hoboken to give alumni a chance to reconnect and discuss career opportunities. A vitally important part of Seton Hall Law Rising is the growth of the Fund for Seton Hall Law, which doubled during the Campaign. A continued robust Fund for Seton Hall Law is fundamental to sustaining progress in all areas of excellence.
  • 27. 25Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu The emphasis on increased alumni programming and networking will continue beyond the Campaign as we prepare to launch an online alumni community to help alumni reconnect with one another and stay connected with Seton Hall Law. Career Development In 2009-10, Seton Hall Law’s Offices of Alumni Development and Career Services joined forces to launch a mentoring program for third-year students who had yet to secure post-graduate employment. This program doubled in size in 2010-11, with many more alumni expressing an interest in helping to guide students along their career paths. The inter-office collaboration continued last spring, when staff visited with alumni and friends at many small, mid-sized and large firms to discuss hiring needs and opportunities for employment for our students and alumni. Seton Hall Law graduates gather after the Morris County Alumni CLE program held on March 31, 2011 in East Hanover. Pictured, from left: Jacqueline C.

Seton Hall Law invites alumni to serve as panelists and planners for the many career development and networking events held at the Law School for the benefit of students and alumni.

It is important to me that every dollar goes directly to the Law School and positively impacts current students. The Fund supports such important programs as clinics, moot court, journals and various clubs, and enables the Law School to assemble attractive financial packages to recruit outstanding students. As the Law School and its reputation continue to soar, I know that the value of my degree does as well. — Mara Zazzali-Hogan ’98
  • 28. 26 Seton Hall Law Magazine Seton Hall Law paid tribute to Patrick C. Dunican Jr., ’91, at the Annual Alumni Dinner Dance on April 29, 2011, honoring him as the Law School’s 2011 Distinguished Graduate. In his remarks, Dean Hobbs lauded Dunican for his extraordinary achievements and unwavering commitment to the Law School’s success, noting, “Patrick Dunican is a modern lawyer. Patrick Dunican is an old-fashioned lawyer.” As a modern lawyer, Dunican shines as Chairman and Managing Director of Gibbons P.C. in Newark. Law360 named him one of the nation’s most innovative managing partners in 2010. NJBIZ has listed him among the 100 most powerful people in New Jersey business, and Ernst Young has recognized him as an “Entrepreneur of the Year.” During his tenure as Managing Director of Gibbons, the firm has significantly increased revenue and profits, expanded to five Mid-Atlantic offices, joined the Am Law 200 for the first time and appeared as one of only 20 firms on The National Law Journal’s inaugural “Midsize Hot List.” Dunican also launched an unprecedented strategic branding campaign for the firm. Today, Gibbons is one of only 38 brands to be featured prominently in Steve Adubato’s book, You Are the Brand. “Patrick’s always been a visionary,” says David De Lorenzi, Chair of the Gibbons Intellectual Property Department. “His leadership in the creation and endowment of the Gibbons Institute of Law, Science Technology at Seton Hall Law, for example, led to a win/win for Seton Hall, for the Gibbons firm and for the broader legal and business communities. That’s what Patrick does – he sees symmetries and opportunities, forges them together with diplomacy, intellect and foresight, and makes things happen.” But Dunican is also an old-fashioned lawyer. A man of integrity, Dunican cares deeply for his colleagues, clients, and community. “Every decision he makes is based on one simple question: Is it the right thing to do? That strong moral ethic is the core of his success today,” says June M. Inderwies, the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of Gibbons. “Patrick has made Gibbons one of the brightest stars in the community through programs such as the Gibbons Fellowship, which supports two full-time public service attorneys,” says Michael Griffinger, one of Dunican’s partners at Gibbons. “His work underscores the firm’s commitment to, and his own leadership in, the community.” Dean Hobbs observed,“Patrick is a true role model for our students. He exemplifies the modern lawyer who understands and excels at the business side of our profession, but he never forgets the lawyer’s duty to client and community and the core values of justice and fairness that underlie that responsibility. We are extremely grateful for all he does to assist Seton Hall Law to achieve the same level of excellence that he sets for himself.” Dunican honed his leadership skills as Editor-in-Chief of the Seton Hall Law Review and graduated cum laude. Following a clerkship with the Honorable Clarkson S. Fisher in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, he joined the firm now known as Gibbons P.C., where, in 1999, he became one of the youngest attorneys ever elected partner. In 2002, Seton Hall Law recognized his early career achievements with its Distinguished Young Alumni Award. He was elected his firm’s Managing Director in 2004, at age 36. Dunican has always found time to give back to Seton Hall Law. He has been a member of the Red Mass committee and Alumni Council, as well as an Adjunct Professor. He is currently Vice Chair of the Board of Visitors and Co-chair of its Strategic Planning Committee. He also served as Co-chair of the Seton Hall Rising Campaign, which raised more than $26 million for the university. Why does Dunican give so much to Seton Hall Law? “One of the reasons Gibbons is such a special place is that almost 20 percent of our lawyers are from Seton Hall Law,” he explains. “There are so many ways to help people, and one of the ways that makes me happiest is to help enhance the value of a Seton Hall Law degree. I am not trying to save the world – just the world around me.” 2011 Distinguished Graduate

  • 30. 28 Seton Hall Law Magazine I n this issue of Seton Hall Law we pay tribute to those who made the Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign a resounding success. Among those who have played a vital part in that success are a group of individuals who gathered together for the first time in the fall of 2004. Known officially as the Board of Visitors, this group of 50 alumni and friends has contributed greatly to the vision for the Law School and its implementation. During the last seven years, the Board has provided advice to the dean, faculty and senior administration on matters of policy, planning, academic programming, admissions and financial aid, career services, alumni relations and development. The Board of Visitors has been and remains actively engaged in the future of the Law School. Board members have shared their unique leadership talents to expand opportunities for students. New academic programs, such as the revamped and much-vaunted Legal Practice Curriculum, have resulted from collaborative efforts of the Board and faculty. The Board of Visitors has also helped develop the resources required to continue Seton Hall’s rise as one we paytribute In this issue Pictured, left: Mitch F.

  • 31. 29Fall 2011 | law.shu.edu of the nation’s top law schools. Early in the Board’s tenure, a committee was formed, led by Peter Larson ’74 and then-Associate Dean Kathleen M. Boozang, to work with members of the faculty, administration and community in a strategic planning process that resulted in a five-year strategic plan. This plan recognized the Law School’s existing strengths and future opportunities, as well as its greatest challenges. Implementing the plan required increased philanthropic support and, thus, discussions about launching a campaign began. The Board of Visitors has had an immense impact on the Seton Hall Law Rising Campaign. Many Board members stepped up, taking on leadership roles as Campaign Leadership Co-Chairs and Team Members. The entire Board participated actively in the Campaign, contributing and helping to secure 40 percent of the $25 million Campaign goal. The Board of Visitors’ commitment to excellence con- tinues beyond the Campaign. New Board committees have been formed in recent months to focus on commu- nications, alumni relations and development to further connect the community with the legal profession at large. The Seton Hall Law community has benefited greatly from the efforts of the ambassadors who make up the Board of Visitors. This tremendous collaboration will help ensure that Seton Hall Law keeps rising in the years ahead. “The creation of the Board of Visitors marked a maturation of Seton Hall Law and deep- ened the School’s relationship with bench and bar. Especially in an era of far-reaching changes in legal education, the Board offers us a unique opportunity to meld academic concerns with the changing needs of the legal profession.” — Professor Charles A.
