The IU Maurer School of Law welcomed 196 additional JD students and 57 graduate What does this mean for us as alumni? It means that more than 250 freshly coined lawyers have joined our profession. It means that these new lawyers need all the help and support they can get as they begin their careers. And it means that they -- and the students coming along behind them -- need to be as prepared as they can be as they enter a very competitive job market. In this issue of ergo, you'll read about alumni who are generously supporting Indiana Law by donating one of their most precious commodities -- their time and advice. Whether speaking to our Office of Career Development's Career Choices series, mentoring young lawyers in their firm, or just sitting down over coffee to give casual advice, these individuals represent only a fraction of the 800 alumni who volunteer for the law school year after year. And we need your help! Whether still in school or recently graduated, our students benefit enormously from the practical and moral support of all of us. I hope that reading our alumni volunteers' stories will inspire you to get involved. The rewards -- not only to the students, but also to you -- will be enormous.

Every year, U.S. law schools turn out more than 40,000 lawyers, far more than current demand. Fortunately, the employment picture for Maurer School of Law graduates is a little brighter, thanks to a diligent and committed network of alumni who guide and support students throughout their time in Bloomington and beyond. "Alumni help current and former students in so many ways," said MichaelKeller, Assistant Dean, Office of Career and Professional Development (OCPD). "Whether speaking to students as part of our Career Choices series, reviewing resumes, or inviting students to shadow them for a day, their contributions can't be underestimated." Alumni support is particularly important once students have evaluated and narrowed their career choices. Toward that end, Indiana Law offers a unique and customized approach that helps students make the right decisions. "All 1Ls take an innovative course on the legal profession," Keller explained. "This class is very different from the legal ethics courses at other law schools. In our legal profession course, students learn about life as a lawyer and begin to shape their career goals early." They also complete the Effective Lawyer Profile, a data-driven self-assessment tool that identifies personal and professional strengths. OCPD's career counselors help students interpret the profile. "Because our students have already given a lot of thought to their interests and abilities before they begin their career search, their interactions with alumni are targeted and efficient," Keller said. "Our office -- and our students -- recognize that alumni are very busy, and the process is 4 + ergo + spring 2011 "Alumni help current and former students in so many ways. We welcome any and all who are willing to help." � Michael Keller, Assistant Dean, Office of Career and Professional Development The OCPD staff recognizes that every student -- not just the ones at the top of the class -- needs to find the right job. "Alumni can be especially helpful with this group of students," said CarolineDowd-Higgins, Director of OCPD. "Not everyone wants to be hired by the large law firms. Alumni play an important role in helping students find their best fit." JamesParker, JD'12, agrees. "OCPD has been instrumental in connecting me with our fiercely loyal nationwide alumni network to advance my career prospects. As a direct result of their programs and efforts on my behalf, I've been able to interview and receive offers with firms or judges in Portland, Ore., San Francisco, and Chicago. Their efforts are all the more impressive considering I was below the top 25% of the class when I got my offers." KristenCameron, JD'11, credits OCPD with helping her chart her career path. "The most important lesson I have learned from OCPD is to network, network, network, and when you think you're done networking, to network some more," she said. "Putting that lesson to use has resulted in three great summer jobs, a handful of devoted mentors and a network that wants nothing more than for me to succeed as a newly minted attorney." ----- In the pages that follow, six alumni who are mentoring students and recent grads tell their stories. They represent more than 800 alumni who have volunteered their time and talent during the past two years. "We welcome any and all alumni who are willing to help," Keller said.

By working closely with Indiana Law students, she hopes to make it easier for them to make the best choices. "Nobody helped me find a job or even think about the options when I was in law school," she said. "My grades were good, but I wasn't at the top of the class, and I entered the job market during a recession, so it was tough." DIANA MERCER, JD'88 family law and enjoyed 12 successful years as a litigator. But she began to realize that litigation isn't always the way to help families work through their problems. "Through no fault of their own, the civil and criminal court systems are just not set up to help people in these situations," she said. "The court system treats conflict resolution as a business deal -- but people didn't get married as a business deal, and they don't want to get divorced that way either." Mercer decided to become part of the solution. As part of what she calls her "millennium resolution," she left the firm in 2000 and founded Peace Talks, a Los Angeles-based firm that offers mediation services in family law. With the belief that "truce is better than friction," the company now has nine mediators who help clients resolve conflicts in a variety of areas, including divorce, estate planning, pre-marital planning, and parenting. "Students seem to enjoy networking with me as someone who's taken a non-traditional path," Mercer said. "Law students often try too hard to fit the mold of what they think an employer expects, without taking stock of the strengths they already have. I encourage them to explore their own interests and skills and try to guide them into a professional career that capitalizes on them." Mercer's engagement has been extensive, but she stresses that it doesn't have to be time-consuming. "Even if you just exchange a few e-mails with students who want to work in your city, or have a brief phone conversation with them, that's often all that's necessary. And the students appreciate it." She also enjoys visiting campus, whether it's for coaching a mediation 6 + ergo + spring 2011 CarlGreci, JD'93, has had a longtime interest in advising students and recent graduates. Greci sees his volunteer efforts as part of a larger social contract. "Helping students now is not only rewarding, but it's one small way I can give on behalf of those who helped me on my journey." A partner in Baker & Daniels' South Bend, Ind., office, Greci, who focuses his practice on commercial and business litigation, meets with CARL GRECI, JD'93 students to help them evaluate their career options and lend whatever assistance he can. "Sometimes students need encouragement. I try to help them focus on their strengths and remind them that they have been successful in the past and there is no reason to believe this will not continue. I also remind them of something that's easy to lose sight of: You just need one job offer," Greci said. Other times, students need assistance with networking and getting in touch with potential employers, especially in smaller markets. "Northern Indiana, where I primarily practice, has many small markets and smaller law firms that might be the perfect career fit for someone," Greci observed. "If I can help facilitate an interview or provide some local insight, it can help energize or re-energize someone's job search." As a past president of the St. Joseph County Bar Association, Greci sees firsthand the need for a vibrant and renewing legal community in small and medium markets. "These markets not only need a continued influx of good lawyers over the course of time as practitioners, but also as community leaders, serving on not-for-profit boards and holding local office," he explained. "In St. Joseph County, we have a local Bar Association of over 500 lawyers, and much of our leadership consists of newer and younger lawyers. This bodes well for our future, and I hope I can help attract law students to consider South Bend and other communities as great places to live and work." Greci also serves as a role model for younger lawyers in his firm, having served as a supervisor or firm coach for at least six different lawyers. In 2008, Greci received a firm mentoring award from Baker & Daniels, "I feel so privileged and grateful to have had mentoring and support throughout my career," he said. "And it's an equal privilege to help complete the cycle by giving back in whatever way I can. After all," he concluded, "if we fail to assist others, we make a mockery out of our own requests for help." 7 + www.law.indiana.edu Mercer eventually started a firm in New Haven, Conn., specializing in session with students or just meeting with them one-on-one. "I was one of those rare students who actually liked law school," Mercer said. "Advising students is a great way to stay connected and visit professors that I wouldn't see otherwise. Plus everyone at the Law School is so nice -- and you get treated like a rock star!" which he considers a great honor. For RafaelandMarisolSanchez, JD'02, there was never any question that they would become involved with the Law School. And they encourage other alumni to do the same. "I had a wonderful experience in law school and wanted to stay in touch with the dean and other members of the faculty and the OCPD staff." RAFAEL AND MARISOL SANCHEZ, JD'02 Rafael agrees. "It's a no-brainer," he added. "A large part of who we are is due to the IU Maurer School of Law. We're naturally loyal to our schools, and we feel a real obligation to volunteer." And they have. Both of them have participated with their firm's oncampus recruiting -- Rafael at Bingham McHale and Marisol at Bose McKinney & Evans -- and have taken advantage of the School's resume roundtables to get an advance look at potential lawyers for their firms. They also visit campus frequently to advise students on career choices, interview preparation, and networking. The couple's status as Latino lawyers in Indianapolis, a traditionally non-diverse city, has heightened their involvement with Indiana Law. "I feel an added obligation to reach out to any diverse student who's considering Indianapolis," Rafael said. "Latino graduates are attracted to the bigger markets, and I encourage them to consider settling in Indianapolis and helping build a more diverse community here." Marisol feels the same way. "It's one thing to say that diverse students can rise through the ranks at a law firm in Indianapolis. But the impact really comes from showing that it can happen through your own experiences." Marisol and Rafael are the first Latino lawyers in Indianapolis to join large firms as associates and eventually become partners. "The value of your law degree rises with your school's reputation," Rafael said. "As alumni, all of us need to make sure students get the the Law School." Marisol concluded that even the busiest lawyers can find time to help. "Our work schedules are full, we serve on many community boards, and we have three small children," she said. "Still there's always time to help students. It's a wonderful way to give back." R. BRUCE McLEAN, JD'71 mentoring they need to find good jobs that reflect well on them and on ROSE GALLAGHER, BA'96, JD'99 "I never really stopped being involved after graduation," Marisol said. A public finance lawyer, Gallagher wanted to move to Chicago to be closer to her family after a few years in Indianapolis. She joined Chapman and Cutler LLP in 2003, where she is now a partner and Chair of the firm's Employment Committee. A founding member of the School's Indiana Law Society of Chicago, she enjoys attending functions and networking with classmates and other Chicago area alumni. "I have always felt it was important to meet as many attorneys as possible and learn about their practice areas, even if you're not looking for a job," she said. "It's helpful to find out the strengths and interests of other alumni and to expand your professional and social network. You never know where these opportunities will lead. So I have the same advice for students: Get out there and talk to everyone you can." Gallagher generously spends time with students and newly graduated alumni. She stresses that networking and mentoring don't have to take up much time; an informational interview can be taken care of over a cup of coffee or a quick lunch. "Volunteering for the Law School is easy and very enjoyable," she concluded. "I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't get involved and make a new connection." When R.BruceMcLean, JD'71, arrived in Bloomington more than 40 years ago, the native New Yorker began a relationship with Indiana Law that continues to deepen and grow. "I'd never been to Indiana before I came to law school," he recalled, "and I knew nothing about the law -- there were no lawyers in our family, and I didn't even know any lawyers. But I enjoyed law school and was a very happy alumnus right from the start." So when former Assistant Dean of Development ArthurM.Lotz, JD'65, invited McLean to become involved in the 1980s, he did so without hesitation. "There was never any question I'd get involved," McLean said. "I went through law school on a scholarship, and I never forgot that someone else's generosity made it possible. Helping out now is one way I can repay my gratitude." A member of the Law School's Board of Visitors, McLean returns to campus often, most recently in April as a practitioner-in-residence, when he taught the School's first-year course in the legal profession and spent two days meeting with students in small groups as part of the Career McLean's career path offers students a great example of the possibilities of a legal education. "I took three labor law courses from Professor Jack Getman and ended up working as his student assistant," he said.

"I started my legal career at Ice Miller in Indianapolis," she explained, "and it was fun to stay connected during those early years. I maintained my relationships with DeanFromm and DeanRobel, and was asked to join the School's Law Alumni Board, which was very rewarding." Choices program. and I joined the NLRB after graduation. It was a wonderful experience -- I argued 15 cases before the Court of Appeals in just two years." One of McLean's cases was against Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, then a small Dallas firm of about 20 lawyers. Impressed by his skill in the courtroom, Akin Gump invited the young attorney to join them in 1973. A specialist in commercial and energy-related matters, McLean has spent the past four decades litigating complex business cases. Meanwhile, Akin Gump has grown into an international powerhouse, with more than 800 lawyers in 14 cities around the globe. And as chairman of the firm since 1993, McLean has been instrumental in its growth and success. For all his accomplishments, however, McLean says that his service to Indiana Law is one of his most fulfilling activities. "There's nothing more rewarding than meeting with students and helping them chart their future," he said. "If I can give back to just one student a small portion of what I got from the Law School experience, then my efforts will have been worth it." steady stream of work or income." He added that in recent years, Medicare and Medicaid are becoming increasingly aggressive about recovering damage awards from plaintiffs. Clancy has earned respect in the profession for his integrity and ability to represent clients zealously while maintaining civility with opposing counsel in an increasingly competitive -- and less collegial -- arena. He was elected president of the Illinois State Bar Association and has served on a number of peer-selected committees, including the Illinois Supreme Court Committee on Civil Instructions and the Board of Directors of the Illinois Trial Lawyer Association. Unlike her husband, Green decided to go to law school late in her senior year at IU. "Like a lot of people in the early '70s, I had vague notions about staying in Bloomington, maybe studying comparative lit, but my father had other ideas," she recalled with a laugh. "Even after graduation, my plan was to take a backpacking trip around the world." Green's plans were foiled when her parents announced a trip of their own. "My father decided to take a year's sabbatical from his medical practice and travel around the world on freighters. They needed me to move back to Chicago and take care of their house. A classmate, LarryDowns, JD'74, personal lives converged, the professional paths they chose couldn't have been more different. Growing up as the oldest of seven in Michigan City, Ind., Clancy developed an interest in politics and law at an early age. "I put together a presentation on the 1960 presidential election when I was in grade school. I admired John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and knew that they were both lawyers. My uncle was an antitrust lawyer in Chicago, and I respected him and his career. So I knew early on that I was going to be a lawyer." Clancy originally planned to specialize in telecommunications law. "In the early '70s, cable TV was in its infancy, and there were lots of opportunities with the Federal Communications Commission," he recalled. "I even earned 15 credit hours in IU's graduate program in radio and television." His plans changed when he was offered a position with a plaintiff's personal injury lawyer in Chicago. "I `clerked' [his quotes] for the firm while studying for the Illinois bar and ended up working there for 12 years." The rest of Clancy's time in practice has been as a solo practitioner or in a small firm, which he explained is the usual setting for personal injury lawyers. "When clients meet with you for the first time, they want to know that you'll TOM CLANCY, JD'73 AND DANA IONE GREEN, JD'74 ALUMNI PROFILE TomClancy, JD'73, and DanaIoneGreen, JD'74, met while in law school, married shortly after graduation, and settled in Chicago.

She was the first woman lawyer hired by the company, which has grown into a 6,000-store pharmacy chain. Like many women in the legal profession at that time, Green was assigned to the employment law section, which then resided in the human resources department. She eventually became senior vice president of human resources and was named executive vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary in 2005, a position she describes as "a constant law school exercise: get as many facts as you can and use good judgment." Despite their differing careers, both Clancy and Green cited the same factors that lead to success as a lawyer: integrity, reputation, credibility, and trust. Clancy added that it helps to have a certain sense of detachment, too: "If you wake up one day and say, `I've been practicing probate law for ten years, and I don't even like it,' then you're missing out." Green says that their career choices aren't conducive to much discussion over dinner. "Tom's plaintiff; I'm defense," she observed. "I'm sorry to say it, but we don't have a lot of intellectual conversations about the law at home.

Cole has also been named Professor at IU's School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) in Bloomington and will continue to serve as a member of the university's Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis. At Indiana Law, he will teach climate law and policy in the fall of 2011. Currently the R. Bruce Townsend Professor of Law at the Indiana University School of Law -- Indianapolis, Cole describes his appointment in Bloomington as "a dream job in a great place. The opportunity to work with students and faculty in both schools, and to continue my contributions to the Workshop, is both humbling and exciting." Cole has been an affiliated faculty member of the Workshop for more than a decade, and has enjoyed the interdisciplinary nature of its work. Professor ElinorOstrom, the 2009 Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, has worked closely with Cole through the Workshop. The two scholars recently finished co-editing a book titled Property in Land and Other Resources, which will be published by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in December 2011. Ostrom applauds Cole's decision to join the Indiana Law and SPEA faculties. "I am delighted that Professor Dan Cole will be joining the Bloomington Maurer School of Law and SPEA starting in the fall of 2011," Ostrom said. "Dan is a great colleague whose interests cross many disciplines. It will be great for our students in the Law School, SPEA, Political Science, and Biology who are interested in how diverse property rights affect the use (or overuse) of resources. Given his interest in global climate change, he will be offering courses of very general interest across the Bloomington campus. We are very fortunate to have Dan joining us." "Dan Cole brings an added dimension to Indiana Law," said DeanRobel. "His expertise not only in environmental law, but also in its political and economic underpinnings, will build on the School's reputation in this field. And Dan's acclaim as an outstanding teacher will bring much to the student experience." A graduate of Occidental College with a master's degree from the University of Chicago, Cole attended the Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College, where he earned a JD cum laude. He has also earned JSM and JSD degrees from Stanford University. A prolific author, Cole had published four scholarly articles before he graduated from Lewis and Clark.

In 2004, National Jurist named it the "Best Law Library in the Country." "Colleen's career has been extraordinary and dedicated and leaves an incalculable legacy at our school," said DeanRobel. "Under her leadership, the Law Library has been transformed from a facility that struggled to meet the basic needs of its faculty and student body to a shining example of what a great research library should be. Colleen leaves one of the top law libraries in the nation, and perhaps the world -- a fact that is largely due to her vision and her wonderful ability to identify and recruit dedicated and accomplished librarians and staff." Pauwels cites the Library's staff as one of the main reasons for its growth and success. "I have always believed that first and foremost a library must provide the best possible service," she said. "I am most proud of the service offered by the Library's superb staff and their role in teaching and research."

On Sunday, January 9, 2011, Professor WilliamHenderson, the Center's Director, was quoted extensively in an article in the New York Times' business section. Titled "Is Law School a Losing Game?," the article explores the high cost of law schools and the employment data that paint a misleadingly rosy picture. William Henderson "Enron-type accounting standards have become the norm," Henderson told the Times. "Every time I look at this data, I feel dirty." He called for selfpolicing of the data that schools release -- before the federal government steps in with its own regulatory scheme. "You're beginning your legal education at institutions that are engaging in the kind of disreputable practices that we would be incredibly disappointed to discover our graduates engaging in," he said. "What we have here is a powder keg, and if law schools don't solve this problem, there will be a day when the Federal Trade Commission, or some plaintiff's lawyer, shows up and says `This looks like illegal deception.'" Separately, the Center's findings on lawyer pay were featured in a cover story in the March 2011 ABA Journal. Titled "What Lawyers Earn," the article maps the movement of jobs and money in the legal profession during a period of dramatic changes. Using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data compiled by the Center, the article examines the geography of attorney salaries in legal markets, county by county, across the country. The article features an interactive table that enables the reader to find wage data for every county in the United States. In addition, the article defines the top 35 legal markets, along with 10 smaller markets that pay wages as high as their large-city counterparts.

National Jurist listed him in an article called At a February American Bar Foundation panel titled "The Future of Lawyering," the Center's CaroleSilver, Professor of Law, put lawyering trends in global terms. "Law schools need to rethink legal education to encourage lawyers to work together as a team, especially in the global marketplace," she said, noting Carole Silver Many students are interested in focusing on a particular area of law, such as intellectual property or securities regulation, and their time in Bloomington enhances their knowledge of these areas. The students say that graduate legal education from Indiana Law, when combined with their home country education and training, will offer them an advantage in their careers. This year, students from China, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, and many other countries are studying at Indiana Law. Recognizing the vast store of knowledge that these students could share with the Indiana Law community, including JD students from the U.S., Professor CaroleSilver organized a series of Country Talks: lunchtime presentations from international students about the legal profession in their home countries. "These presentations are designed to offer opportunities for international students to use what they know to educate the rest of the Law School community about the legal profession and legal education in their home country. At the same time, the Country Talks further the integration of the international and domestic student populations," she said. LesleyDavis, Assistant Dean for International Programs, helped organize the talks. "We have a tremendous internal resource in our international students, and we look forward to presenting additional Country Talks this fall," Davis said. She added that the talks offered an additional incentive for attendance: a buffet lunch with foods from the speaker's home country. that Indiana Law's first-year legal profession class requires students to work together throughout the semester. Silver added that international law students come to U.S. law schools with relationship-building as a key priority. "U.S. law schools need to focus on relationships," she said. "We need to teach lawyers how to do a better job of playing in the sandbox." In November 2010, Silver spoke to the Zeughauser Group Leadership Roundtable for Chairs and Managing Partners at their meeting in Newport Coast, California. Representatives from approximately 15 law firms attended and engaged in a lively discussion. She focused on creative staffing strategies that law firms might use to help reduce the cost of delivering legal services, including outsourcing certain work and developing new kinds of working relationships with lawyers and others not formally a part of the firm. Silver emphasized that these new strategies put a premium on lawyers having the interpersonal skills to work collaboratively with clients, lawyers and others both within and outside of the firm. In addition, she suggested that those law firms that aspire to be called upon to lead client matters -- rather than just be assigned slices of work -- will have to demonstrate that they have the expertise to orchestrate the entire network of providers involved.

There's just one problem with the law: It doesn't include a statute-oflimitations provision that spells out the deadline for taking legal action. Indiana courts have handed down conflicting rulings about whether actions under the law have been filed on time. As a result, money that could be spent on environmental cleanups instead goes to court fights over who's responsible. And property owners are reluctant to remediate and redevelop contaminated mended steps for improving the statute. Her conclusions went into the drafting of Senate Bill 346, which gives plaintiffs 10 years to sue from the time they start spending money on a cleanup. "Liz is one of our best and brightest joint law-SPEA students," said Barnes, a former SPEA dean who served as general counsel and deputy administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "She did a superb job investigating and analyzing a problem, developing options for addressing it, and then presenting her analysis to the Senate committee, which utilized her work and incorporated it in the pending legislation." Baldwin testified before the Indiana Senate Committee on Energy and Environmental Affairs, explaining the issues when it considered the legislation. The committee approved SB 346 unanimously, and the Senate passed it by a vote of 48-0. Governor Mitch Daniels signed the bill on May 10. Kyle and Barnes hope the model of having IU students provide informed and unbiased policy advice and information is an approach that's repeated more often in the future. "This illustrates Indiana University at its best in providing useful and sound policy assistance to the state," Barnes said. ( Courtesy of Indiana University Communications ) Liz Baldwin, JD/MPA'11, likes to use what she has learned in the classroom for real-world projects. She found an opportunity to do so recently, and the result could be a change in state law that saves money and streamlines the cleanup of polluted industrial and commercial properties. "I really love getting to do things in real life, and I think there are a lot of students who feel the same way," said Baldwin, who this spring is completing a joint law and public-affairs graduate program in the Maurer School of Law and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Her project dealt with Indiana's Environmental Legal Actions statute, a simple, pragmatic law adopted in the 1990s that encourages property owners properties, because they don't know if they can recover costs through the courts. "The current situation diverts an enormous amount of energy and resources," said John Kyle, JD'79, an attorney with Barnes & Thornburg in Indianapolis who handles environmental cases. "Instead of money being used to clean up the environment, it's used for litigating." Baldwin's work resulted from a request by Sen. Beverly Gard, R-Greenfield, who authored the environmental legislation. Looking for a way to fix the statuteof-limitations problem, Gard turned to A. James Barnes, a professor in the Maurer School of Law and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Barnes recommended Baldwin for the job.

Fuchs Professor Emeritus of Law, died unexpectedly on January 26 after a brief illness. An expert in constitutional law and the federal courts, Baude influenced thousands of Indiana Law students during his 40 years as a faculty member. His distinctive teaching style blended history, philosophy, popular culture, and current events to stretch the students to examine established institutions in light of new ideas. Although Baude retired in 2008, he continued to teach his legendary constitutional law course each spring, and was doing so at the time of his death. "He was just the consummate teacher," said DeanRobel, one of Baude's former students. "He helped law students understand that complexity wasn't their enemy. He was, quite frankly, the finest teacher I ever had." When Baude retired, the Law School honored him with a reception that included unveiling of his official portrait. With typical humility, he told a capacity audience in the Moot Court Room that it's difficult for teachers to measure their impact. "At least a lawyer gets to win a case," he said. "I look at my students, and I think I had a small part in what they've become. And that's special." In honor of his contributions to the school, the Class of 2011 chose Baude as the recipient of the school's Gavel Award for distinguished teaching. Baude is survived by his wife, Indiana Law ProfessorJuliaLamber, and four children. A memorial service will be held at the Law School on October 28.

A former clerk for United States Chief Justices Fred Vinson and Earl Warren, Oliver joined the Indiana Law faculty in 1954, where he taught in the field of tax law and policy for 41 years. "I have spoken with so many alumni who said that Professor Oliver had a huge influence on their law school experience," DeanRobel said. "As a result of his teaching, many of his students went on to distinguished careers as tax lawyers." BartonL.Kaufman, JD'65, offered a fitting tribute to this iconic professor. "In one's college's experiences, a student is fortunate if a professor can have a profound impact on the student," Kaufman said. "Professor Oliver impacted my life in a manner I could only have dreamed. He awakened in me an interest in taxation that has served me and my clients for a half a century. He was without peer when it came to teaching taxation. I am forever indebted to Bill Oliver." Kaufman honored Oliver in 2003 by endowing the William W. Oliver Professorship, currently held by ProfessorLeandraLederman. Oliver's wife, Mary, preceded him in death in 2007. He is survived by two children and four grandchildren.

All finalists will be third-year students this fall. The fictional case, United States v. Speer, dealt with the balance of constitutional rights versus law enforcement needs in states' efforts to regulate medical marijuana and control cross-border violence. Professor SethLahn, director of the competition, noted that both of these timely topics are currently under review by the U.S. Supreme Court. Lahn said that nearly 250 alumni and other attorneys and judges volunteered their time to judge the competition. "The competition simply would not have been possible without them," he said.
