'Look out!'When I say that to University of Baltimore law

students, I mean it literally. Among the best

features of our new, state-of-the-art law center

are its glass walls and the panoramic views of

Baltimore visible from virtually everywhere in the

school. I constantly urge students to look outside

the building to gain perspective about our law

school’s place in the community around us.

The brilliant architect behind the John and

Frances Angelos Law Center may not have intended

to do so, but he designed a building that makes

an important statement about the kind of legal

education we strive to provide. Virtually every

aspect of our school relates to the wider world.

The students we recruit and enroll typically bring

real-world experience to UB, including the evening

students who maintain demanding, full-time day

jobs while attending law school. Our curriculum

is conceived around the notion that law must be

understood in the context of broader features of

society; in fact, first-year students are required to

take a course in a series entitled “Law in Context.”

But perhaps the most important way our law

school relates to the outside world is the way we

take advantage of the vibrant legal community

around us to teach practical, hands-on legal skills.

UB students represent actual clients under the

guidance of experienced professors in one of our

nine legal clinics, including a new veterans advo-

cacy clinic. Students receive credit for rigorously

supervised “externships” in private and public law

offices and judicial chambers throughout Baltimore

welcomeFROM THE DEAN Ronald Weich

and the Maryland-D.C. region. They are taught, men-

tored and coached on moot court and trial advocacy

teams by a network of UB alumni and other practic-

ing lawyers, judges and legislators.

Meanwhile, our outstanding full-time faculty mem-

bers are using the new building’s sophisticated tech-

nology to bring the real world into their classrooms.

For instance, when I taught a Legislation class earlier

this year, I didn’t just talk about the Senate; I live-

streamed Senate floor debates onto the video screen

at the front of the room, then had students close

their books and laptops and engage in legislative

debate themselves. That’s one way we train the next

generation of Maryland leaders at UB.

As the cover story of this issue of Baltimore

Law describes, UB recently doubled down on its

long-standing commitment to skills-based learning

by guaranteeing that all students who graduate from

our school in the years ahead will have engaged in

a series of practical legal experiences during their

course of study. That guarantee will help ensure that

our students remain a step ahead of their competi-

tors in this tough job market.

Other law schools, the ones with the musty

libraries and droopy gargoyles, are just beginning to

discover “experiential education.” But at UB, practi-

cal learning is in our DNA. It is who we are and what

we are known for.

I’m two years into my tenure as dean of the UB

School of Law and I’ve never been more proud. I’m

proud of our faculty and staff for their commitment

to excellence in all that they do. I’m proud of our ex-

traordinary partnership with the Maryland bench and

bar, and of our growing network of successful alumni

in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere. And

above all I’m proud of our students for their hard

work and determination.

So “look out,” world—UB is on the move.

n June 9, the UB School of

Law hosted a debate among

the three Democratic candi-

dates for attorney general of

Maryland. Dean Ronald Weich served as

moderator, and three local journalists—

Roberto Alejandro of The AFRO, Jeff Barker

of The Baltimore Sun and Marc Steiner

of The Marc Steiner Show on WEAA-FM—

posed the questions to the candidates,

all of whom are members of the Maryland

General Assembly.

The candidates—Del. Aisha Braveboy,

Del. Jon Cardin and Sen. Brian Frosh—did

not know the questions in advance and

had 90 seconds each to reply. Present in

the packed moot courtroom were two for-

mer Maryland attorneys general: Stephen

Sachs, who served from 1979 to 1987, and

Joseph Curran Jr., LL.B. ’59, who served

from 1987 to 2000.

Frosh won the June 24 primary. Here is

a debate excerpt:

Roberto Alejandro: Please speak of

your experience as legislators and as

attorneys and how it would inform your

work as attorney general.

Aisha Braveboy: As a legislator, I

co-sponsored bills to protect homeowners

against foreclosure, but as an attorney I’m

the only candidate running for this office

that has stepped up to the plate and rep-

resented families on a pro bono basis who

wanted to stay in their homes. … I practice

what I preach, I practice what I legislate.

Brian Frosh: I take on tough problems in

the General Assembly and I get them done,

I get them solved. I lived through the Senate

reform of the foreclosure laws. We had the

fastest foreclosure process in the United

States—that’s good for banks, not good for

homeowners. We fixed that. … I show up ev-

ery day and I work hard. And that’s in sharp

contrast to Jon Cardin, who missed more

than 75 percent of the votes in the House

Ways and Means Committee this year.

Jon Cardin: Sen. Frosh … it’s disin-

genuous and intellectually dishonest to

suggest that I missed 75 percent of the

work and you know that. … All the mark-

ups, all the amendments that we vote on,

all the debate happens in subcommittee. I

have a 100 percent attendance and voting

record in subcommittee. … But since we’re

speaking about missed votes, I want to

know why, Sen. Frosh, you abstained

when your committee voted to require

criminal background checks for employ-

ees at day-care centers. I want to know

why you abstained when your committee

voted to increase the maximum penalty

for a person convicted of rape in the sec-

ond degree [of a child under 13]. Why do

you duck these votes?

Frosh: Look, I’ve long had reservations

about mandatory minimum sentences. ...

The attorney general of the United States

is opposed to mandatory minimum

sentences. Republicans, on my committee

and throughout the nation, are opposed to

mandatory minimum sentences.

O

rofessor Richard W. Bourne, who taught law at the

University of Baltimore for 34 years, died July 12 at the

Pylesville farm he shared with his wife. He was 71 and

had been ill with pancreatic cancer.

Bourne, known to his colleagues as Dick, taught civil proce-

dure, conflicts of law, remedies, professional responsibility and

the litigation process.

“He had an old-fashioned notion of how lawyers should behave,

and I think his hallmark was teaching professional responsibility,”

Professor John Lynch recalled in an obituary of Professor Bourne

that appeared in The Baltimore Sun.

UB School of Law Professor Emerita Lynn Mclain described

Bourne as enthusiastic about his subjects and students.

“He thrived on introducing students to the intricacies of legal

analysis by challenging them to think in new ways,” Mclain said

in the obituary.

Born and raised in Danville, Va.,

Bourne earned a bachelor’s degree

from Harvard University and, in 1968,

a J.D. from the University of Virginia

School of Law. Bourne then spent five

years as a trial attorney with the Civil

Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.

In 1973, Bourne returned to Harvard, where he earned a mas-

ter’s degree in law. He then taught at the University of Richmond

School of Law for four years before joining the University of

Baltimore School of Law faculty in 1979.

Bourne is survived by his wife, Anne Crook, a lawyer, as well as by

two children, three stepchildren, two grandsons and two brothers.

A memorial service was held at the law school on Aug. 20.

Attorney General Debate Sizzles

Fall 2014 | 5 |

urt L. Schmoke, the University

of Baltimore’s new president,

believes in the power of the

law to improve society.

A Harvard Law School-trained attorney

and a former Rhodes Scholar, Schmoke

sees a strong link between legal educa-

tion and public service, saying the law

aims to ensure that all people receive

quality of life for many people.”

Schmoke—who comes to UB after

more than a decade at Howard Univer-

sity, where he served as dean of the law

school and, most recently, interim pro-

vost and general counsel—offers a vote

of confidence in legal education at a time

when law school applications are drop-

ping nationwide in response to systemic

changes in the legal profession.

“There will always be opportunities

for lawyers—government service, issues

like cyber law, health care, intellectual

property and so on,” he said. “There

is a huge generation of baby boomers

getting ready to retire, and they will have

legal needs. Even the traditional areas

of the law, like trusts and estates—that’s

forever.”

Looking ahead, Schmoke sees even

more possibilities: “Whole new situ-

ations, like the opening of sea lanes

around the North Pole, create opportuni-

ties for young law graduates.”

Closer to home, Schmoke is bullish on

Dean Ronald Weich and the UB School

of Law’s commitment to experiential

learning.

“The school has a really outstanding

dean in Ron Weich;―I’ve known him previ-

ously as a very good public-law practi-

tioner,” Schmoke said. “He and other

leaders in the school are striking a new

balance between classroom and clinical

experiences that is very exciting.”

Continued Schmoke: “Law school

taught me to study issues thoroughly,

to listen. That is happening at UB today.

We’re producing graduates who are

ready to practice and who do well in the

profession.”

To keep up with changes in legal ed-

ucation and practice, Schmoke said the

law school might benefit from alternative

timelines for students to earn their de-

grees—a slower pace for some, a faster

pace for others.

“You could structure a course of study

that would have you finished with law

school in 24 months”—two years of

12-month sessions versus three years of

nine-month sessions, he said.

But Schmoke is not offering specific

recommendations at this point. “There

are a lot of ideas out there,” he said.

There are also a lot of competing inter-

ests to consider when practicing the law

to benefit society, Schmoke emphasized.

“The lawyer’s code of professional

conduct says you must be a zealous ad-

vocate for your client, but in politics and

public service you can’t conduct yourself

that way,” he said. “You have competing

interests, many points of view. You have

to make a decision for the greater good.”

The Hon. Catherine Curran O’Malley, J.D. ’91, delivered the School of Law’s 2014 commencement address on May 19. Here are excerpts:

[...] Just two days ago we celebrated the 60th anniversary

of Brown v. Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court’s deci-

sion that prohibited Southern states from segregating schools

by race.

This case, while addressing educational inequalities that

resulted from segregation, also sparked a series of citizen ac-

tions—sit-ins and protests—that ultimately led to the passage

of the civil rights legislation throughout our country in the

1960s.

That case, as we know, was argued by … Baltimore lawyer

Thurgood Marshall. After the Brown decision, he was ultimately

appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Lawyer Marshall had been, for many years before

the Brown decision, fighting against laws and policies that

discriminated against African-Americans.

As a younger man he was rejected from the University of

Maryland law school due to its racial acceptance policies.

legalbriefs

In 1933 he decided to challenge that policy in the Maryland

court system.

Mr. Marshall represented Donald Gaines Murray, who had

also been rejected from the law school solely due to his race.

On behalf of his client, Marshall argued that this policy vio-

lated the “separate but equal” principle. The white law schools

were far superior to the black law schools and everyone knew it.

The Baltimore City court found in favor of Murray. The univer-

sity filed an appeal, but the Court of Appeals also agreed with

Mr. Murray.

So this is a powerful example of what one lawyer can do, not

only to change the life of one client, but to change the lives of

so many in our nation.

I see the District Court, where I work, as the “face of the

court,” where the majority of smaller cases are tried.

You might do well to remember that although many of your

cases might be more mundane, smaller in scope, they are just

as real as landmark legal cases, just as important to the client

involved, who will always remember that day and that trial. […]

Your law degree will open up so many opportunities for you.

And not only opportunities for you personally, but also for your

community. […]

By receiving your law degree, you have made a choice to

improve your world not just for yourself but for your family and

community.

Don’t let unexpected setbacks change your vision and

dreams. Make them into memorable chances to change and

challenge yourself.

Sometimes failing at a goal may actually be an opportunity

for something else unexpected. Always stay optimistic.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit heard four cases in the University of Baltimore School of Law’s moot courtroom on Feb. 4. Afterward, students and faculty took part in a question-and-answer session with the three judges. Pictured from left are Judge Jimmy V. Reyna and Chief Judge Randall R. Rader.

Managing partners of law firms have a

large brief. Among other responsibil-

ities, they oversee hiring, coordinate

work among practice groups, monitor

financial performance and ensure com-

pliance with ethical standards.

Many UB alumni have been called

upon to guide their firms in the role

of managing partner. We asked three

how UB helped them prepare for their

leadership position.

BARRY LEVIN, J.D. ’84, the managing

partner and chief executive officer of

Saul Ewing LLP, emphasized the impor-

tance of UB's practical training.

“UB is known for not just theoretical

learning and case law, but also for a

practical component,” said Levin, who

started at the Baltimore office of the

East Coast firm in 2003 and became

the firm’s managing partner in 2014.

“There was also a strong work culture at

UB. It was pretty common for full-time

students to work part-time during law

school starting in their second year.”

Levin worked as a law clerk while

studying at UB. That experience allowed

him to apply his classroom learning to

careers

the real world, he said.

“Working as a law clerk while in

school made it very real,” Levin said

of his legal education, citing both

classroom and on-the-job learning. “The

combination of a strong foundation

in federal law, Maryland law and the

strong culture of working [while in law

school] really positions [UB] graduates

well to transition to the workforce.”

Levin said he knew as a student that

he wanted to practice business and

transactional law, so he loaded up on

corporate courses, along the way gar-

nering an award for highest academic

achievement in federal income taxation.

The foundation in business has

served him well as he ascended in the

profession. As managing partner, he

oversees a firm with 11 regional offices.

Said Levin: “Everything I learned at

UB has been useful to me in both coun-

seling corporate clients and managing

the business of Saul Ewing.”

HEIDI LEVINE, J.D. ’95, a co-managing

partner at the New York office of DLA

Piper, also stressed the importance

of the hands-on legal experience she

received at UB.

“I really felt prepared to be a lawyer

in the real world,” said Levine, who took

advantage of as many opportunities

as possible in law school, working on

the University of Baltimore Law Review

and securing a judicial externship the

summer after her first year. In 1994 she

landed a job as a summer associate at

Piper & Marbury’s Baltimore office.

Levine went on to clerk with Judge

Howard S. Chasanow of the Maryland

Court of Appeals before she was hired

full-time by Piper & Marbury.

After several years in Baltimore, she

moved in 2000 to the New York office

and made partner in 2003. (After a

series of mergers, DLA Piper was formed

in January 2005.)

Levine emphasized the importance of

building a resume and making yourself

known in law school.

Asked what she would tell today’s UB

School of Law students, Levine didn’t

hesitate.

“Take any opportunity that comes

your way,” she said. “Make a great im-

pression. Follow up. Do some free work.

Be more flexible. Don’t give up.”

CRAIG ROSWELL, J.D. ’91, became

managing partner at Niles, Barton &

Wilmer LLP in 2013. He joined the Balti-

more firm in 1993 and became a partner

in 1999. Before being named managing

partner, Roswell served as chairman of

the firm’s litigation department for six

years.

As a day student at UB, Roswell

still managed to work at the Maryland

Attorney General’s Office throughout his

law school years, handling savings and

loan cases.

Like Levin and Levine, Roswell said

the hands-on education he received

at UB was instrumental in helping him

achieve his goals.

In particular, Roswell said, he bene-

fited from trial advocacy skills training

and participation in moot court teams.

“The best way to get ready for your

trial is to write your closing argument

first,” Roswell said of his trial advocacy

work. “You know exactly what you want

to tell the jury, what evidence you need

and how you’re going to get it in.”

In fact, Roswell said it was his trial

advocacy experience at UB that helped

him decide to become a trial lawyer.

Roswell praised his fellow UB-trained

lawyers, saying that as a group they’re

known for their ability to understand

their clients and to communicate well

with them—a crucial skill.

“[Clients] want to know that you’ve

analyzed their issue and provided

options, and they want to be able to un-

derstand what you’re saying,” he said.

“UB students are good listeners.”

SUSAN WATSON practiced tax law for

36 years, including two stints in the

office of the chief counsel of the Internal

Revenue Service. Upon her retirement in

2012, Watson, who has served as an ad-

junct professor at UB, began coaching

the school’s Evans Constitutional Law

Moot Court team.

Once retired, Watson also had more

time for another passion, training for

and competing in triathlons, including

the full Ironman competition.

What’s that? Watson laughs. The full

Ironman involves a 2.4-mile swim, a

112-mile bicycle ride and a 26.2-mile

run. On the same day, back to back.

“It sounds like a lot, doesn’t it?” said

Watson, who completed an Ironwoman

competition in Lake Placid, N.Y., in 2013

and two-thirds of the Ironman World

Championship in Kona, Hawaii, this

year. “I try not to think of it all together

at once, especially in the midst of it.”

Watson, who began running at age

44 and started competing in triathlons

at 50, said attending law school and

taking part in marathon athletic events

Susan Watson, J.D. ’76

both require a high degree of persever-

ance and focus.

“You have to have determination,”

Watson said this summer, when she

was training for the Sept. 20 Maryland

Ironman competition in Cambridge.

“You can’t give up when things get

tough.”

The help of a coach is key to succeed-

ing in moot court and athletic competi-

tions alike, Watson said.

“You can give [students] the little

extra oomph to make them believe they

can do it,” she said of her role as a moot

court coach. “That’s what my tri coach

does for me as well.”

Watson—whose daughter, lawyer and

triathlete Elizabeth Cowan Mourges,

J.D. ’10, met her future husband, Bran-

don Mourges, J.D. ’09, at UB—is happy

to serve her alma mater and is proud

of her moot court students. Watson

especially enjoys seeing students’ con-

fidence bloom as they learn to maintain

their composure and strengthen their

arguments through repeated rehearsals.

Watson typically requires at least nine

run-throughs before a competition.

Watson, who as a student served

as editor-in-chief of the University of

Baltimore Law Review, emphasized the

importance of the public-speaking,

advocacy and reasoning skills students

learn through moot court participation.

“It’s wonderful to sharpen that skill in

law school so they can go to court and

stand in front of a judge with that confi-

dence,” she said.

Confidence, like athletic endurance,

can be learned with practice, Watson

emphasized. And encouragement helps.

The coach and competitor sums up

her approach: “You can do this!”

and you’re sharpening

your test-taking skills.”

And then, he said,

“The two days go by and

it’s all over.”

Whew.

In September, Bor

began clerking for Judge

Christopher Panos, J.D.

’89, at the Circuit Court for

Baltimore City. The clerkship is his sec-

ond at the court; the summer after his

1L year Bor clerked for Judge Audrey J.S.

Carrion, J.D. ’84, through UB’s Experi-

ence in Legal Organizations, or EXPLOR,

program.

“EXPLOR is really invaluable,” Bor

said. “No other law school that I’m

aware of guarantees a placement with

an alumni [member].”

EXPLOR places students who have

finished their first year of law school

with Maryland legal employers, who

provide students not just the chance to

do substantive research and writing but

also with mentoring and the opportunity

to participate in client meetings and

negotiations.

Park, C.A. “Dutch” Ruppersberger III was

employed as a life guard in Ocean City.

His career plans were hazy.

“I didn’t know what I wanted to do,”

Ruppersberger said. “Somebody said

try law school.”

So Ruppersberger applied to the

University of Baltimore School of Law.

A week before classes started he found

Dutch Ruppersberger, J.D. ’70, LL.D. ’99

Bor, who during the spring semester

of his second year worked as an extern

at the American Civil Liberties Union of

Maryland, said his experiences clerking

for Judge Carrion and working with the

ACLU were formative.

“They gave me a chance to apply the

theoretical concepts I learned in the class-

room to the professional field,” Bor said.

Bor also held an externship at the Civ-

il Rights Division of the U.S. Department

of Justice after his 2L year.

“I spent the summer working on one

issue that was probably the most diffi-

cult project I’ve had to do in or outside

of law school,” Bor said, declining to

describe the endeavor. “It involved

answering very difficult legal questions,

but I thought the preparation I had

[from UB] for doing research and writing

legal memos was very strong and really

prepared me for that.”

Throughout law school, Bor, who

earned an undergraduate degree from

Oberlin College, combined his legal

studies and employment with another

full-time job: music. A tenor saxophon-

ist, he is a member of the jazz band

Bosley, which headlined this year’s

Artscape festival and has a packed fall

schedule at venues in Baltimore and

Washington, D.C.

“[The law] is very similar to music, in

that you’re learning an entirely new lan-

guage and you’re learning how to use

it in a creative way to achieve a specific

goal,” Bor said.

Asked what he planned to do after

his yearlong clerkship, Bor said he was

keeping his options open: “I’m just

going to play it by ear.”

out he’d been accepted.

“All of a sudden I was taking 15 cred-

its a semester at night,” Ruppersberger

said.

Like most of his classmates, he held a

job during the day throughout the three

years of law school.

The experience “matured” him,

Ruppersberger said, explaining that UB

taught him the value of time manage-

ment and discipline.

He recalled that most of his teachers

were lawyers and judges.

“The teaching was very practical,”

Ruppersberger said.

Ruppersberger’s day jobs were also

part of his education. For a year he

worked for the Baltimore City public

school system in a position he de-

scribed as “truant officer and psychol-

ogist all wrapped up in one.” He also

was employed as a claims adjuster for

a year and clerked for the Hon. Kenneth

Proctor, a judge on the Baltimore County

Circuit Court and the administrative

judge for the 3rd Circuit.

“All those different jobs just tied in

[with my legal studies],” Ruppersberger

said. “It was a really great education.”

Upon passing the bar, Ruppersberg-

er was hired as an assistant state’s

attorney in Baltimore County. He was

quickly promoted to chief of the office’s

investigative division, where he prose-

cuted cases involving organized crime,

political corruption and drug trafficking.

“[UB] was a really good practical

experience that helped me transition

right away into trial law,” said Ruppers-

berger, who was a prosecutor for almost

a decade before he ran for Baltimore

County executive, a position he held for

two terms.

He remains upbeat about legal edu-

cation.

“Anybody who goes to law school is

going to benefit,” said Ruppersberger,

a Democrat who represents Maryland’s

2nd congressional district. “[Law

school] teaches you how to think. It also

gives you confidence and teaches you

how to work through problems, how to

research.”

Not least, a legal education also

teaches students to distinguish right

from wrong. “The law really gives you an

ethical standard,” he said.

Concluded Ruppersberger: “In law

there’s an endgame. You’ve got to do

the best you can. UB taught me that.”

EXPERIENCE RESULTS UB weaves real-world legal practice into the curriculum

The emphasis on practicality comes from the top at UB. A law school must prepare the students intellectually but also make sure that they’re able to meet with clients and understand the humanity of a client.

‘‘ ‘‘The day after I was sworn in at the

Court of Appeals as a new lawyer, I was in

Dundalk District Court prosecuting cases

as an assistant state’s attorney. Three and

a half years at the University of Baltimore

School of Law prepared me for that moment.

Practical classes in criminal law, criminal

procedure and evidence, coupled with

hands-on experience in moot court, laid

the groundwork for my career as a trial

attorney. There are some things you cannot

learn from just reading. The University of

Baltimore School of Law is about doing.

Scott Shellenberger, J.D. ’84

State’s attorney for Baltimore County

Fall 2014 | 13 |

When I was at the

University of Baltimore School of

Law, I had a professor who spent

an enormous amount of time with

me teaching me how to write. That

one-on-one time was one of the

most valuable parts of my legal

education. As an appellate attorney

who spends the vast majority

of my day writing briefs, I am

eternally grateful for these skills.

I have never forgotten what I learned at UB—that the practice of law is, at its essence, about helping real peo-ple with real problems. Although the issues of local government are not getting any less complex, the skills I learned at UB help me to analyze and resolve them every day.

At the University of Baltimore School of Law, students learn both the theory of law and the practice of lawyering.

While they pursue a rigorous study of doctrine and analysis with some of the finest legal scholars in the nation, UB students also deepen their understanding of the law―and often find their career path―by working in the field under the supervision of seasoned attorneys and judges, many of them UB alumni.

Through these experiential learning opportunities, students gain not just crucial practical knowledge but, also, access to a network of mentors and professional contacts. It’s no surprise that UB ranked among the top 50 law schools in the country last year for the percentage of students employed at graduation.

he adjective

“experiential” is the

word of the moment in

legal education, but the

concept it describes—

hands-on, practical

learning—has been

fundamental to the

University of Baltimore

School of Law since it

was founded in 1925.

In addition to grounding students in

the theory of law, providing real-life legal

experience is “a bedrock” component of

a UB School of Law education, Associate

Dean Victoria Schultz, J.D. ’89, told The

Daily Record in August.

UB’s nearly century-old commitment

to real-world lawyering was recently

reinforced and formalized in the law

school’s new, five-year strategic plan.

Starting with the incoming class of 2015,

law students are guaranteed six credits

of experiential learning, with three of the

credits to come from an externship or

a clinic experience involving work with

actual clients.

The requirement was approved

before the American Bar Association’s

governing body voted in August

to approve a six-credit minimum

experiential requirement for all

accredited U.S. law schools.

Amy Sloan, associate dean for

academic affairs, emphasized that UB’s

experiential focus was about much more

than just the six credits.

“Practical skills are woven throughout

the curriculum, beginning with the first-

year Introduction to Lawyering Skills

course and continuing in the upper level

with clinics, externships, simulations

and workshop courses,” she said,

adding that the law school’s Curriculum

Committee would work with faculty

throughout the 2014-15 academic year

to determine how best to offer hands-on

opportunities for students.

“We are providing students with a

wide range of experiential opportunities

so they can apply what they learn in the

classroom to the practice of law,”

Sloan said.

Among the established experiential

options are UB’s nine legal clinics,

including the new Bob Parsons Veterans

Advocacy Clinic. In August, 78 student-

attorneys enrolled in the clinics were

sworn in by Court of Appeals Judge

Shirley Watts to represent clients under

Rule 16 of Maryland Rules Governing

Admission to the Bar.

Clinic students, working under the

supervision of law faculty, represent a

wide variety of clients and causes. In

the Bronfein Family Law Clinic, students

help low-income clients seeking

assistance with child custody, support,

divorce, adoption and civil remedies for

domestic violence. Last year, Family Law

Clinic students testified in Annapolis in

support of House and Senate legislation

to ease the burden on domestic violence

victims seeking protective orders. Gov.

Martin O’Malley signed the bill into law

in April 2014.

In the Immigrant Rights Clinic last

year, a student secured asylum for a

transgendered woman from Honduras

who had been the victim of violence her

entire life, while another clinic student

tI did three “experiential”

learning classes. The first, a class of 12 students, traveled to different attorneys each week to discuss their practice in different areas of the law. Next, I spent the summer of ’75 in the Harford County State’s Attorney’s Office as a law clerk working on juvenile cases. The following summer I was a student-attorney for the office in District Court, which made me know how much I liked trial work and specifically prosecution. The experience led to a job offer, and the job led to my position as state’s attorney.

Joseph Cassilly, J.D. ’77 State’s attorney for Harford County

By the time I

graduated from the

University of Baltimore

School of Law, I had

completed a clerkship with

a trial court judge and

was working with the firm

where I ultimately began

as an attorney. While still

a student, I was able to

obtain hands-on experience

in the practice of law. The

relationships I formed and

experiences I gained during

my time in law school were

invaluable in starting my

career and remain so today.

UB Law provided me the skills and opportunities to develop and grow my legal abilities even before I was sworn in as a member of the Maryland bar. A UB grad is prepared to face the real-world challenges of the practice of law.

obtained asylum for a teenager who had

fled her abusive guardian in El Salvador.

UB’s five academic centers also

provide opportunities for students to do

hands-on work.

This year, three student fellows in the

Center for International and Comparative

Law plan to bring a test case before the

U.S. International Trade Commission

that would, if successful, establish a

new mechanism to help ensure that

corporations abide by international

human rights standards, specifically by

maintaining supply chains free of abuses

such as forced or child labor.

In the Center for Medicine and Law,

UB School of Law students take part in a

mock medical malpractice trial alongside

Johns Hopkins medical students and

physicians. Through a combination of

lectures and exercises, law students are

introduced to the complexity of medical

records and learn the fundamentals of

malpractice litigation.

Said Professor Gregory Dolin, director

of the center: “The point of this entire

semester-long exercise is to get students

from the theory to the actual trial-like

situation, which is why we have a jury, so

that students understand that they have

to explain their case—which they’ve been

living and breathing for a semester—

to people who are smart but not

knowledgeable about law and medicine.”

Yet another way in which UB students

acquire practical experience is through

externships, in which they receive

academic credit for substantive legal

work performed in law firms, judges’

chambers, government agencies and

public-interest organizations throughout

the Baltimore-Washington region. Every

externship entails classroom work in

which students analyze their experiences

with professors and with classmates

engaged in similar fields. Last year,

the law school hired its first director of

externships, Millicent Newhouse, who is

charged with expanding and diversifying

high-quality externship opportunities for

UB students.

Finally, law students gain practical

experience by participating in one or more

of UB’s 21 moot court or trial practice

teams. Students also are encouraged to

take advantage of pro bono opportunities

facilitated by the law school.

Crucial to the entire experiential

enterprise is the law school’s committed,

13,000-strong alumni network. Alumni

serve in a variety of roles: as adjunct

professors, as moot court coaches, and

as supervisors in UB’s attorney and

judicial externship programs, including

UB’s pioneering EXPLOR (Experience in

Legal Organizations) program, which

guarantees students placements in law

offices during the summer after their first

year of law school.

Assistant Dean Jill Green, J.D. ’94, who

directs UB’s Law Career Development

Office, said EXPLOR builds on and

deepens the lessons students learned in

their first, often grueling year of school.

“A lot of students come out of their

first year saying: ‘Why did I do this?

Did I make the right choice in going

to law school?’” Green said. “After

their summer EXPLOR experience they

come out totally energized. They have

been able to see what they learned in

the classroom in action. It whets their

appetite to learn more.”

The wide range of experiential options

at the UB School of Law allows students

to observe how law is practiced in a

variety of contexts, which helps them to

discover the career paths that best suit

them. The experiential opportunities also

afford students a network of mentors and

professional contacts even before they

graduate.

Judge Audrey J.S. Carrion, J.D. ’84,

called her law school internship with

Judge Robert B. Watts in the Circuit

Court for Baltimore City “a life-changing

experience.” (The term for experiential

placements has switched in recent

years, with “externship” now replacing

“internship.”)

“Through him I met mentors that

later on in my life were helpful to me,”

said Carrion, who joined the Baltimore

City Circuit Court bench herself in 1999.

“A good internship can result in a life-

changing step toward your profession,

your career. It can mean good experience

with writing, or observing how lawyers

work at their craft. All of that you can’t

get from just sitting in school.”

Matthew Kraeuter, J.D. ’09, a former

associate at Saul Ewing who recently

accepted a position with Liff & Walsh

in Annapolis, said the professional

connections he made at UB were

invaluable.

“I knew I wanted to practice in Maryland,

so I really took the opportunity to meet the

professors and the judges and to parlay

that into a great internship and a great

clerkship after school,” Kraeuter said.

“Having those great local connections

really made a huge difference.”

Kraeuter’s new boss James “Jay”

Walsh, J.D. ’08, said UB excels at

preparing students to deal with real

clients in the real world.

Said Walsh: “The school makes a

conscious effort to make sure you’re

ready to practice when you get out.”

“A good internship can result in a life-changing step toward your profession, your career. It can mean good experience with writing, or observing how lawyers work at their craft. All of that you can’t get from just sitting in school.”

LEARNING FROM CLIENTSStudent volunteers gain crucial skills at expungement project

Fall 2014 | 17 |

criminal record can make it

difficult to find a job, to rent

an apartment or to receive

public benefits—some of the

very conditions that can lead a person

to commit crimes. Expungement—the

removal of all or part of a criminal history

from public record—is a tool to help end

the recidivism spiral.

An ABA report titled “Second Chances

in the Criminal Justice System” puts the

matter succinctly: “Lawyers who assist

convicted offenders may not only help

them, but they may simultaneously

decrease future crime rates and thereby

reduce the number of future victims

throughout the United States.”

The Expungement Project, a program

of the Homeless Persons Representation

Project, or HPRP, aims to educate

Marylanders about the process of

erasing criminal records and provides

legal services to those who want to

pursue expungement.

Nearly 1,300 expungement clinic

clients have had at least part of their

records cleared since the program’s

inception in 2008, said Katie Meyer

Scott, HPRP’s director of pro bono

programs.

Crucial to the project’s success is

the participation of UB School of Law

students, said Christina Askins, HPRP’s

legal clinic coordinator.

“Each year the numbers of students

seeking to volunteer has increased

significantly because of the enthusiasm

of the students who have come before

them,” Askins said.

UB students help with client intake on

“expungement days”—there are roughly

10 every year—at two sites in Baltimore

City and one in Montgomery County.

The student volunteers, who after

a training session commit to serve a

minimum of three days a year, help

clients complete a questionnaire to

determine their eligibility for free legal

services. Students then sit with clients to

review their criminal histories, asking the

clients to remember to the best of their

abilities any charges filed against them

and the disposition of those charges.

Once the paperwork is complete, the

student introduces the client to an

attorney who will handle the actual

expungement effort.

Bethany Neeb, a 2L who volunteered

with the Expungement Project over

the summer, said she learned crucial

“people skills” on the job.

aBy Claudia Diamond

| 18 | Baltimore Law

As an undergraduate in California, Michael Stone wanted to save the world—but he had no idea what to do. At UB, he learned how to help.

- Michael Stone, J.D. ’13

Fall 2014 | 19 |

“I can only imagine how difficult,

maybe embarrassing, it is [for clients]

to sit down with us,” she said of herself

and her UB colleagues. “The questions

we ask are very invasive because they

have to be for us to help [clients] as

best as we can.”

One lesson Neeb learned was

the importance of maintaining a

nonjudgmental demeanor. At any

sign of judgment or distaste by their

interviewer, she said, clients could

freeze up.

Said Neeb: “[These] people skills are

never learned in a classroom; they’re

only learned in the outside community.”

Other UB School of Law student

volunteers also spoke of the

understanding and skills they acquired

while working with expungement clinic

clients.

Kathryn Huff, a 3L, said many of the

people she interviewed were homeless

or had temporary living arrangements.

“They often spoke of their frustration

that their past criminal record stands

in the way of reentering society after

making wholesale changes to the way

they are living their lives now,” she

said.

Huff recalled a woman charged years

earlier in connection with a domestic-

violence incident involving an abusive

partner.

“It brought home to me that

something from a really long time ago

could continuously haunt someone for

the rest of her life,” Huff said. “The fact

that I could do something that could

have a big impact on someone’s life

inspired me even more to be a public-

interest attorney.”

Lauren Vint, who expects to receive

her J.D. in 2015, said she learned the

value of being patient.

“It can be very hard for an individual

to recall what happened after his or her

arrest, so I also learned to wait patiently

while a client tries to recall [what

happened],” she said. “I never realized

until I did this work the importance of

just listening to a client.”

Even something as simple as where

she sat had a profound impact on her

interactions with clients, Vint said.

“Initially, I always sat across from

the client, which created a degree of

formality that caused some discomfort,”

she said. “Rather than opening up

to me and talking about their past, I

found that the clients were withholding

information or were trying to speak to

me like I was a judge.”

By moving her chair next to the

client’s, Vint said, she succeeded in

breaking down a barrier, which allowed

the client to open up to her.

“I loved my work with the clients at

HPRP,” Vint said. “I improved my own

interpersonal communication skills

while helping those in the community

where I will be practicing law.”

Law school experiences like these

can cement a lifelong commitment to

pro bono work or lead to a job in the

public sector.

Michael Stone, J.D. ’13, volunteered

at HPRP during law school and landed

a job with the Baltimore nonprofit upon

graduation.

This year he obtained a fellowship

from Equal Justice Works for a two-year

project at HPRP. In partnership with the

Lockheed Martin Corp. and the Hogan

Lovells law firm, Stone aims to bring

legal services to homeless or at-risk

veterans in rural Maryland.

As an undergraduate in California,

Stone said, he had a “cape-wearing,

I’m-going-to-save-the-world mentality.”

But he had no idea what to do.

In Baltimore, he discovered his

path.

“When I found HPRP it was a

population I clearly identified with,

poor people who have no access to

the resources they need to make their

lives better,” Stone said, pointing to

HPRP’s mission of linking clients with

resources. “I latched onto them.”

Kathleen McGinley, J.D. ’10, an

associate at Ober | Kaler, joined

HPRP’s board of directors in 2011

and volunteers as an attorney in the

expungement clinic.

“Learning how to effectively interact

with clients is just not a skill students

can learn from law books,” McGinley

said. “They may not yet be lawyers, but

the valuable insight they’re gaining

about how to effectively work with

clients means that they’re on their way

to being fantastic lawyers when they

finish law school and pass the bar.”

A criminal history can be a lifetime punishment. UB School of Law students are at the forefront of an innovative project that helps former offenders establish a life unshadowed by a record.

“WHY I GIVE: I feel it is important to give back to the University of Baltimore School of Law because I want aspiring law students to have the same opportunity I had to receive an excellent legal education. [UB] provided me with a pragmatic education which has served as an exceptional foundation for the practice of law. In hiring new attorneys for the firm, I have always been impressed with the attitude, caliber and quality of the graduates of the University of Baltimore School of Law and continue to be proud of my association with the school.

“WHY I GIVE: I give to the University of Baltimore because it is the gift that keeps on giving! By that I mean that there isn’t a day that has gone by since I first attended the University of Baltimore School of Law in 1989 that I have not reaped the rewards of the relationships I developed while I attended law school. In addition to donating to the law school, I also share my time and experience.

PHILLIP CLOSIUS and STEVEN SILVERMAN, J.D. ’91

Alumnus Steven Silverman, J.D. ’91, and Pro-fessor Phillip Closius have filed a class-ac-tion complaint on behalf of more than 750 former NFL players. The lawsuit, which has sparked considerable media interest, claims that players were illegally provided painkill-ers without prescriptions or proper supervi-sion in order to keep them on the field during important games. The NFL has denied the charges. Closius and Silverman appeared on NBC's TODAY show June 18 with former Chi-cago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon, who said he and other NFL players were misled by the league about the painkillers he said were used to keep them playing despite injuries.

DANIEL HATCHER

Professor Hatcher published an op-ed in The Baltimore Sun on Oct. 14, 2013. Titled “How Maryland robs its most vulnerable children,” the article focused on the Maryland Depart-ment of Human Resources’ practice of appro-priating foster children’s assets. In particular, Hatcher discussed the state’s hiring of a private company to obtain additional Social Security disability and survivor benefits from foster children for use as government revenue. The op-ed prompted a letter to the editor from the department’s secretary, Ted Dallas, who wrote that “every dime” taken from a foster child goes to help that child. Hatcher responded on Oct. 23 with a letter titled “Sorry, but DHR is robbing foster

children.” Wrote Hatcher: “Children see zero benefit when the agency takes their funds to reimburse costs for services the state is already federally required to provide—and for which children have no debt obligation.”

CASSANDRA HAVARD

Professor Havard contributed an op-ed to The Baltimore Sun on March 13, 2014. In “Bank-ing on those who don’t,” Havard discussed the need for affordable banking services for low-income consumers, who often don’t have a relationship with a bank and must rely on alternative—and expensive—providers such as check-cashing services. Havard wrote that a report by the U.S. Postal Service’s inspector general indicated the agency could make $9 billion a year by providing banking services that would be more affordable than those offered by the alternative market.

MICHAEL HIGGINBOTHAM

Professor Higginbotham published an op-ed in The New York Times’ online edition on April 27, 2014, after the Supreme Court upheld a Michigan constitutional amendment that banned affirmative action at that state’s pub-lic universities. In “Race-based Affirmative Action Is Still Needed,” Higginbotham wrote: “[R]ace-based preference is still vital in the United States given the country’s history of slavery and its continuing, pervasive racial discrimination. To think otherwise is selec-tive memory loss.”

ELIZABETH KEYES

Professor Keyes and the Immigrant Rights Clinic were the focus of an Aug. 1, 2014, Daily Record story that was picked up by The Associated Press and published in The Washington Post under the headline “Clinic on the front lines of immigration battle.” The story, about the clinic’s work with young Cen-tral American migrants, also was translated into Spanish and appeared in La Jornada, a Mexican newspaper. Said Keyes: “Why are we putting so many resources to bear to send these kids back to places where they could be harmed?”

HUGH MCCLEAN

On Aug. 14, 2014, The Daily Record published a story about the new Bob Parsons Veter-ans Advocacy Clinic, which seeks to help veterans access their disability benefits, among other goals. The story was picked up by The Associated Press and appeared in The Washington Post. “As veterans return from Iraq and Afghanistan, more veterans are filing claims than they’ve done in previous wars, so there’s a real need to have a clinic like this in the community,” said McClean, the clinic’s director.

in closing By John Bessler

ohn Adams, representing British

soldiers accused of murder after

the Boston Massacre, passion-

ately quoted from a book written

by a 26-year-old Italian philoso-

pher, Cesare Beccaria. Now little

remembered in America, Beccaria

was tremendously influential with

the Founding Fathers. This year

marks the 250th anniversary of the 1764

publication of his treatise Dei delitti e delle

pene, which was translated into English in

1767 as On Crimes and Punishments. The

book argued against torture and was the first

Enlightenment text to make a comprehensive

case against capital punishment.

“I am for the prisoners at the bar,” Adams

said in his courtroom statement, delivered

in 1770, “and shall apologize for it only in

the words of the Marquis Beccaria: ‘If by

supporting the rights of mankind, and of

invincible truth, I shall contribute to save

from the agonies of death one unfortunate

victim of tyranny, or ignorance, equally fatal,

his blessings and tears of transport shall be

sufficient consolation to me for the contempt

of all mankind.’” John Quincy Adams later

remarked on the “electrical effect” Beccaria’s

words—as spoken by his father—had on

jurors.

For more than 20 years, I have sought

the death penalty’s abolition. America’s

physicians consider it unethical to partic-

ipate in executions, but the American Bar

Association—the nation’s leading member-

ship organization for lawyers—has not yet

squarely condemned the practice. With the

latest series of botched executions in Ohio,

Oklahoma and Arizona, it seems only fitting

for the legal profession to reassess its own

willingness to involve itself in state-sanc-

tioned killing.

In the late 1700s, America’s founders

avidly read and were inspired by Beccaria’s

treatise. George Washington and Thomas

Jefferson bought copies, with Jefferson tran-

scribing more than two dozen extracts from

On Crimes and Punishments into his com-

monplace book. After penning the Declara-

tion of Independence, Jefferson drafted a bill

in Virginia in the 1770s to make punishments

more proportionate to crimes. He cited Bec-

caria’s treatise multiple times, with the bill

seeking to eliminate the death penalty for all

crimes except murder and treason.

The wide-ranging influence of Beccaria’s

book on American law can be gleaned from

a 1786 letter that William Bradford, then

Pennsylvania’s attorney general, sent to Luigi

Castiglioni, an Italian botanist who toured

America in the mid-1780s. In his letter,

Bradford—a close friend of James Madison

from their college days at Princeton—heaped

praise upon Beccaria’s treatise. “Long before

the recent Revolution,” Bradford wrote, “this

book was common among lettered persons

of Pennsylvania, who admired its principles

without daring to hope that they could be

adopted in legislation, since we copied the

laws of England, to whose laws we were

subject.”

During the founders’ time, the death pen-

alty—often described as cruel, even then—

was the mandatory, or usual, punishment

for murder and other crimes. In those days,

executions were thought to be necessary,

especially since state and federal prisons did

not exist to hold violent offenders indefi-

nitely. Indeed, America’s first penitentia-

ry—Philadelphia’s Walnut Street Prison—did

not open until after the U.S. Constitution’s

ratification.

In the last 15 years, the number of death

sentences and executions has declined dra-

matically, with life-without-parole sentences

becoming increasingly popular. Each of the

last four years saw fewer than 50 executions.

On May 2, 2013, Maryland—after a lengthy

fight—joined the growing chorus of states

choosing to abolish capital punishment. On

hand that day: Kirk Bloodsworth, a former

Maryland death-row inmate who was exoner-

ated through DNA evidence.

In tracing Beccaria’s influence on Amer-

ican law for my latest book, I recount how

men like Washington, Madison and Jefferson

were themselves not so gung-ho about

capital punishment. Jefferson wrote in the

1820s that “Beccaria and other writers on

crimes and punishments had satisfied the

reasonable world of the unrightfulness and

inefficacy of the punishment of crimes by

death.”

America’s penal system has already aban-

doned nonlethal corporal punishments such

as whipping and ear cropping. With the ready

availability of maximum-security prisons,

coupled with the now-widespread use of

life-without-parole sentences, Americans

need to consider whether America’s death

penalty should go the way of the pillory

and the whipping post. While approximate-

ly 50,000 U.S. inmates are now serving

life-without-parole sentences, the country

has fewer than 3,100 death-row inmates.

That makes executions—considered cruel by

Beccaria and his disciples, and now mainly in

use in the Deep South—a particularly unusu-

al punishment, too.

JOHN BESSLER is a professor

at the School of Law. He is the author of

six books, including Death in the Dark:

Midnight Executions in America and Cruel

and Unusual: The American Death Penalty

and the Founders’ Eighth Amendment. His

latest book is The Birth of American Law:

An Italian Philosopher and the American

Revolution, published by Carolina Academic

Press in August.
