legal education in the future tense

The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law is pioneering a new model for 21st century legal education, one that reinvents the modern law school as not just an institution that trains lawyers, but as a multifaceted legal studies center that engages in developing solutions to the world’s global challenges and that seeks to educate a broad crosssection of contemporary society.

Welcome to what I hope will be the first of a regular series of reports we will create informing you about the ongoing life of the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and featuring news on graduates who are making a real difference in their communities and throughoutthe nation.

This is an exciting moment for the College of Law. As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of our first graduating class, we recognize those who built the school to its current level of excellence and national prominence. At the same time, in these pages we also highlight the astonishing array of new programs, initiatives, and student opportunities that are currently transforming the College of Law into an innovative national leader in legal education.

When I first arrived as Dean in the fall of 2008, ASU’s visionary President Michael Crow gave the law school a daunting task. He asked us to work “to turn an already great law school into the top echelon of American legal education not by chasing the handful of law schools that represent the old ‘gold standard’ but rather by defining what 21st century legal education ought to be.”

Our response to President Crow’s challenge is Legal Education in the Future Tense, the idea that we should always be looking to the future of legal education and how it should evolve, without becoming mired in old models. This is a truly exciting re-imagining of the modern law school, turning it into a multifaceted legal studies center that educates a broad cross section of contemporary society, is actively engaged in helping address global, national, and local public policy challenges, and better bridges the gap from law school to law practice in this rapidly evolving legal environment.

The College of Law is firing on all cylinders right now. Whether measured by the quality of the student body (fast approaching the top 30 schools in the country measured by student quality), the extraordinarily talented new faculty members we have hired (nine in the last year and a half alone), the array of new centers, programs, clinics, fellowships, and educational opportunities, our ever increasing pro bono and public service commitments, or our increased alumni and community outreach, this law school is in all ways more energized, more active, and more engaged than ever before. I encourage you to come back to visit and see the changes.

And yet none of this would be possible without the continued support of all of you. You are the ones who built the framework, who give of your time and money to help the law students of tomorrow, who judge our moot court competitions, who give career advice to our students, who help place graduates in externships and jobs, and who represent the College of Law to the broader community every day in everything you do. We who treasure both the first 40 years of the College of Law and the next 40 share a bond through time and an understanding that this law school can vitally contribute to justice and the rule of law in contemporary society.

• Program on the Role of Non-State Actors in Global Governance• Program on the Empirical Study of Human Rights• Program on Nuclear Non-Proliferation• Program on Transnational Law and the Future of Law and Borders

Law is an integral part of solving nearly any global problem that we can conceive. This think tank brings together fellows from around the world to develop legal, regulatory, and policy solutions to global problems. The project is headed by Joel Garreau, former longtime editor and reporter at The Washington Post, who is now the Lincoln Professor of Law, Culture and Values at the College of Law.

the prevail project: wise governance for challenging futures

The oldest, largest, and by far the most comprehensive law and science center in the country is at the forefront of national efforts to design law and policy that will keep pace with scientific and technological change. The Center’s innovative partnership with the Washington, D.C.-based New America Foundation focuses on the strategic impact of rapidly emerging technologies on the universe of U.S. political and policy thought.

the center for law, science & innovation

This newly launched center focuses not just on formal international law, but on all the settings in which law and norms cross territorial borders. Further, the Center aims to become a hub for empirical research on how international and transnational law actually operates on the ground.

expanding the boundaries of legal education

The College of Law now offers post-graduate fellowships to allow recent graduates to volunteer with public interest organizations or governmental entities.

graduate, executive, and global legal educationLegal education is not only for lawyers. Our Master of Legal Studies and Executive Legal Education programs allow professionals in a wide variety of fields to learn about law and propel their careers forward. Foreign students can also earn an LL.M. degree either in person or online.

undergraduate legal educationThe College of Law has launched what is perhaps the only comprehensive undergraduate law degree program based in a law school.

the washington, d.c., campusStudents from any law school in the country can now spend a semester at the College of Law’s new Washington, D.C., campus, taking classes and working in supervised externships in the public sector.

the professional development training programAt most law schools, future lawyers learn substantive law and practice-based skills, but spend little time learning how to develop a career. The College of Law has added a required first-year professional development training course and transformed our Career Services Office into a Career Strategy and Professional Development Mentoring Center.

the legal advocacy and dispute resolution programInstead of focusing only on trial advocacy skills, the College’s new program provides a broad range of advocacy training, and our award-winning Lodestar Dispute Resolution Program is a major national force in research and teaching on litigation alternatives.

40 years of influenceIt is impossible to measure influence with any kind of objective yardstick. But it is easy to see, perhaps easiest by imagining its absence. What would Arizona or the wider world have looked like without the College of Law at Arizona State University?

If Joe Sims had continued to work at the Arizona Department of Transportation instead of heeding the College’s siren call, maybe we wouldn’t have SIRIUS XM radio to listen to.

If Michael Gallagher, a star high-school athlete from California, had returned home for law school, maybe the Arizona Cardinals would have ended up playing in San Antonio, Texas, rather than Phoenix.

If after Harvard and the U.S. Navy, Terry Goddard had gone somewhere else, maybe he would have become attorney general and be running for governor of another state.

Maybe Ed Pastor wouldn’t be in Congress, or Allison Binney wouldn’t be saving a timeless Native American tradition of weaving by cutting the red tape of federal bureaucracy through her role with the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. Perhaps Bill Atkin wouldn’t have opened one of the the first law offices in Moscow after the Iron Curtain fell.

It is impossible to know how fate’s dominoes would have toppled without Rebecca White Berch heading the Arizona Supreme Court, or Michael J. Ahearn forging a solar energy path through China, or Suzanne Barr helping form the country’s immigration policy.

When Dean Willard H. Pedrick founded the College of Law in 1967, he could not have predicted how its graduates would put their mark on the Valley, the state and beyond. He just knew they would.

40 years of influence

Just as, four decades later, Dean Paul Schiff Berman cannot foretell the outcome of his efforts to redefine the future of legal education in order to tackle the challenges facing our intercon-nected global community. But he can be certain new graduates will alter the world’s trajectory.

Pedrick’s influence began with the five founding faculty he hired: William C. Canby Jr., Edward W. Cleary, Richard Dahl, Richard Effland and Harold Havighurst. They immediately got involved in legal issues on campus and in the broader community, remembered Canby, who taught at the College until 1980 and is now a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Three years later, as the College of Law began to launch students from the initial class of 117 into the wide world, the influence rippled beyond Old Main.

Without the College of Law, surely the intellectual capital of the region would have been dimin-ished. Many of the state’s smartest people might have left. The promise of hundreds of bright and passionate women, Latinos and Native Americans would never have been tapped.

“The establishment of the ASU law school facilitated a lot of people going to law school who would not have been able to otherwise,” said Professor Michael Berch, who joined the College of Law faculty in 1969. “We kept our talent here, and we gained talent from out of state.”

“There were a lot of really smart women in the Phoenix area who were unable to leave their families, leave their spouses, for whom the ASU law school was a godsend,” said Professor and Dean Emeritus Alan Matheson, who joined the College in 1967.

Professor Jonathan Rose, a 42-year veteran of the College of Law, counting off a long list of judges, elected officials and tribal leaders, said that, “one of the most significant local impacts was the way the law school provided public leadership.”

New facilities and programs pushed the College’s influence further: Armstrong Hall in 1968, the Center for the Study of Law, Science, & Technology in 1984, the Indian Legal Program in 1988 and the Ross-Blakley Law Library in 1993.

The number of faculty has grown from the initial five to nearly 60, including 9 hired since Berman arrived in 2008. And in 2006, just after her retire-ment from the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor lent her name to the College.

Today, Berman is working to expand the College’s influence locally and globally, creating Legal Education in the Future Tense.

He is beginning by expanding the traditional idea of who law schools should serve.

“I don’t think legal education should be limited to lawyers,” Berman said.

Instead, he believes an understanding of legal institutions and the ability to articulate multiple points of view have value in a variety of career paths. So, the College of Law has launched a comprehensive undergraduate degree and is expanding its opportunities for professionals to learn how the law influences their careers.

Berman also has established a new think tank focusing on law and public policy – The Prevail Project: Wise Governance for Challenging Futures – which will contribute to the search for answers to vexing global questions.

“There is no challenge we face in the world today that doesn’t have a legal or regulatory component in its solution,” Berman said. “The law school will help forge solutions to global problems.”

A new Center for Law and Global Affairs, expanded programs in the renamed Center for Law, Science & Innovation and in the Indian Legal Program, the new Diane Halle Center for Family Justice and the NextCare Urgent Care Family Violence Legal Clinic, and the Post-Conviction DNA Clinic, among others, will further augment the College of Law’s influence.

Influence: the capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force on or produce effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc., of others.

Hard to measure, but easy to see.

If you’re listening to Classic Vinyl or Siriusly Sinatra on an empty stretch of highway far beyond the reach of any land-based radio station, be grateful Joe Sims worked with a guy who just wouldn’t shut up.

Back in 1967, Sims was working at the Arizona Department of Transportation, where his co-worker, Noel Dessaint, kept up a running monologue about the new venture planned at Arizona State University. “All he could do was talk about law school,” said Sims. Dessiant also joined the Class of 1970 and today is clerk of the Arizona Supreme Court.

The jurisprudence drumbeat convinced Sims, who already had a degree in finance from ASU. He took the Law School Admission Test in August and joined the first law school class that September. Sims graduated magna cum laude and, nudged by Professor Jon Rose, went to work at the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Today, Sims is the senior antitrust partner at Jones Day, and the practice he began in Washington after his time at the Antitrust Division is now one of the largest and most respected in the world. He was the lead counsel on some of the most significant transactions of recent years, and his clients include Apple, Chevron, Dell, General Motors, Procter & Gamble and Sirius XM.

“At the top of the list for deals needing the most experienced antitrust counseling – just ask Abbott Laboratories, Time Warner, CBS Inc., Chevron and many others,” states Lawdragon, where journalists and lawyers list attorneys. “Joe Sims is the foundation of Jones Day’s antitrust practice and is regularly considered among the best half-dozen antitrust lawyers in the country.”

Sims was key in getting antitrust clearance after a lengthy investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of XM Satellite Radio Holdings in connection with its $13-billion merger with SIRIUS Satellite Radio. That deal arguably saved satellite radio and earned Sims his second recognition as “Dealmaker of the Year” by The American Lawyer. He is the only attorney to ever be so recognized.

Sing on, Chairman of the Board.

Who’s to say?

Maybe Michael Gallagher goes back home to Los Angeles for law school and the Arizona Cardinals are playing in Pasadena instead of Glendale, the Phoenix Firebirds are the only choice for summer baseball and the World Series never comes to Arizona.

Gallagher is Exhibit A for influence.

Courted by Sparky, Gallagher attended ASU on a baseball scholarship, and played on the Sun Devil’s 1965 national championship team. After a year of professional baseball with the Kansas City Athletics organization, he joined the first College of Law class.

Like many law students, he worked. Unlike many, he was a scout for the New York Mets.

After graduation, the highly regarded Phoenix law firm Snell & Wilmer won out over the Mets.

And in 1978, he co-founded Gallagher & Kennedy, a full-service business law firm that now employs more than 100 attorneys. In four decades of litigation in Arizona, Gallagher has served high-profile clients in industries including health care, airlines, insurance, professional sports and public utilities.

But being a litigator was only one of his passions. As chairman of committees formed by both the governor and the mayor, he played a major role in bringing the Cardinals and the Arizona Diamondbacks to Phoenix.

He was also a founding member of the Maricopa County Sports Authority and the Phoenix Metropolitan Sports Authority. In October 2009, Gallagher was inducted into the Maricopa County Bar Association’s Hall of Fame, recognition for 40 years of professional achievement and community service.

Terry Goddard wanted to come home.

He’d been away from his native Tucson for nearly 10 years at school and then a tour in the U.S. Navy. Too far away for far too long.

“The College of Law was a quality institution near home,” Goddard said. And it had the added attraction of proximity to the state capitol.

“Even then, I was interested in politics,” said Goddard, whose father, Sam, was the state’s governor in the 1960s.

While in law school, Goddard was chosen for an internship with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, an office that voters would give him to run three decades later.

Since 2003, Goddard has used his significant state power to fight cybercrime, identity theft, predatory lenders, consumer fraud, illegal drugs, and deceptive advertisers.

Now, he is a candidate for governor.

Along the way, in more than 30 years as a lawyer, he has served four terms as mayor of Phoenix, expanding and modernizing the city’s law enforcement, and setting up nationally recognized programs in economic development, the arts and historic preservation. He was elected president of the National League of Cities in 1989 and named “Municipal Leader of the Year” by City and County Magazine. He also served seven years as Arizona Director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Goddard has a unique vantage point to see what the College of Law has done for the Phoenix metropolitan area.

“It’s kept talent in town.”

Does a tax incentive from a city to a developer violate the gift clause? May funds dedicated by taxpayers for a particular purpose be swept to balance the state budget? Does religious exercise constitute a defense to a criminal charge?

Someone other than Rebecca White Berch would have helped answer those questions had the College of Law not been so, well, handy.

“I was juggling classes and work at the same time,” said Berch, who got her undergraduate degree from ASU in 1976. “Had there not been a law school at Arizona State, it’s unlikely I would have gone into law.”

Berch, a prolific writer with a master’s degree in English, subscribes to Robert Kennedy’s “A Tiny Ripple of Hope” theory of good works: “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

Berch has been sending out ripples for years.

After seven years in private practice, the Arizona native spent the greater part of a decade as director of the Legal Writing Program at the College of Law. She authored law review articles, magazine articles on legal writing and two books. The textbook she co-authored, Introduction to Legal Method and Process, is used in law schools throughout the nation.

In 1991, Berch was named Arizona’s Solicitor General and oversaw appellate cases. She continued in the Arizona Attorney General’s Office as Solicitor and Chief Deputy until she was appointed as a judge on the Arizona Court of Appeals in 1998. She joined the Arizona Supreme Court in 2002 and became Chief Justice in July 2009.

The ripples are reaching further and further.

Ed Pastor was a teacher, but it was the College of Law that put him on the path to having a school named after him.

Pastor earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry from ASU in 1966 and spent three years teaching at North High School in Phoenix before serving as deputy director of theGuadalupe Organization Inc., a non profit, community-based organization.

He wanted to do more, but his responsibilities as a husband and father kept him near home.

“I was married and had a daughter,” Pastor said. “If the ASU law school had not been in Tempe, I probably would not have gone.”

While in law school, Pastor’s professors sharpened his desire for community service. “Law school made me a better reader, a better writer, but more than that, law school taught me how to look at all sides,” said Pastor, adding, “I learned how to right to the issue.”

He has put that skill to good use in more than 30 years of public service. Pastor was elected to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in 1976 and served three terms before resigning to run for the Congressional seat vacated by the late Mo Udall.

He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1991, becoming the first Latino to represent Arizona in Congress.

He currently serves on the powerful House Committee on Appropriations and sits on three subcommittees: Energy and Water Development, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies. He also serves on the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee and is one of eight chief deputy whips.

Today, there is an Ed Pastor Elementary School in Phoenix. And another one in San Luis, Arizona.

Bill Atkin didn’t go to law school with the intent to see theworld – but that’s how things turned out.

As a partner in the global law firm of Baker & McKenzie – the first law firm to employ 1,000 lawyers — Atkin did tours of duty in Caracas, Taipei and Moscow. He learned to speak Spanish and Russian. He taught at Moscow International University.

And since 1996, as associate general counsel for international law for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, he continues to jet around the globe, aiding the international mission of the Mormon Church.

It seems funny, then, that Atkin chose the College of Law because it was close to home.Atkin grew up in Prescott, just a couple of hours from the Tempe campus, and planned to return there to practice law. But after graduating magna cum laude in 1975, he had an opportunity to focus on international law, which meant heading east instead.

“You can always go from New York City to Prescott,” Professor Dale Furnish counseled Atkin. “But you’ll never be able to go from Prescott to New York City.” Following that advice, Atkin spent three years with the U.S. Department of Justice, where he had major responsibility in several antidumping actions and international tariff cases.

That was followed by nearly 20 years in multinational corporate legal work and U.S. customs matters for Baker & McKenzie, including serving as managing partner in Moscow, where he was also a founding member of the board of directors of the American Chamber of Commerce in Moscow and a Boy Scout leader. Seeing the world, Atkin said, proved he didn’t miss out by going to the law school closest to home.

“Other attorneys may be smarter than I am, but no one has a better legal education.”

The skills Michael J. Ahearn learned at the College of Law not only prepared him to practice law, they prepared him for his role as the 21st century Sun King.

“The main thing I took away from law school was learning to think, learning problem solving and learning to deal with ambiguity,” said Ahearn. “Problem solving and dealing with ambiguity is the norm when it comes to starting up a business.”

The Arizona native has done a pretty good job at that.

Ahearn, who once practiced law with the Phoenix firm of Gallagher & Kennedy, assumed the job of chairman and CEO of Tempe-based First Solar, Inc., in August 2000, and guided the company to become the first alternative-energy enterprise to develop thin-film solar modules – a cheaper, more cost-competitive way of converting sunlight into electricity.

First Solar went public in 2006, and its annual revenues rose to $1.25 billion in 2008, more than double the previous year.

In September 2009, Robert J. Gillette succeeded Ahearn as CEO, but Ahearn remains with First Solar in the full-time position of executive chairman. In his new job, Ahearn works with regulators and policy-makers across the world to remove barriers to the development and application of solar energy.

“Solar energy is not a mainstream part of the electricity mix anywhere in the world,” Ahearn said. “Regulatory structures of markets need to be changed for it to become mainstream.”

Recently, Ahearn announced a tentative 10-year deal to build what would be the largest solar field in the world – blanketing 25 square miles of Inner Mongolia with panels that would produce 2 gigawatts, or 2 billion watts, enough energy to light 3 million homes.

Although she is a member of the Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo Indians of California, Allison Binney gave no thought to the complex specialty of Indian law on her first tour of the ASU campus. That is, until she bumped into then-Dean Alan Matheson, hours after she met him at a brief orientation for prospective students.

“He remembered my name, he asked how my day was going,” recalled Binney. “At other law schools I visited, they never remembered your name. At ASU, there is a strong sense of community.”

After graduation, Binney specialized in Indian law, working for two private law firms in Washington, D.C., before becoming Staff Director and Chief Counsel for the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs.

She is part of the team that secured $2.5 billion in funding for Indian tribal programs through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the largest single investment in Indian programs in history.

The money will be used to build critically needed schools, hospitals and law enforcement centers throughout Indian Country.

And when a U.S. Forest Service policy promised to restrict the ability of Native Americans to gather materials for traditional weaving, Binney was able to broker a solution, allowing for the Native practice to continue.

Binney said that Indian law has turned out to be a “jack-of-all-trades type of law.”

“As governments, tribes deal with every issue – education, business, health, environment. Everything.” She said her network of ASU alumni and faculty makes her more effective in dealing with federal agencies such as the Interior Department in addressing tribal issues. “Even now, I’m able to call on the professors with the Indian Legal Program and other alumni for their insights when drafting legislation,” she said.

The complexities of border security and immigration are a bit of an abstraction inside the Beltway, that circular freeway often used to define the borders of Washington, D.C.

Enter Suzanne Barr, a reality check.

When the Arizona native was appointed in 2009 as Chief of Staff to John T. Morton, Assistant Secretary of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, her voice brought a ground-level perspective to these international issues.

Barr, who grew up in Phoenix, went to undergraduate school at the University of Arizona(“I’m a Wildcat at heart”), but ASU was the clear choice for law school. “I’m amazed at how much the College of Law shaped my career,” Barr said. “If not for the people I connected with in law school, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

She completed an internship at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and worked there after graduation, before joining the staff of then-Gov. Janet Napolitano, who was named head of the Department of Homeland Security by President Barack Obama.

While in the governor’s office, Barr began to shape immigration policy on the state level, serving as Director of Legislative Affairs, Policy Advisor on Law Enforcement Issues, and overseeing all law enforcement state agencies, including Arizona’s Department of Homeland Security. She established several border security enforcement initiatives such as the Arizona Border Crimes Interdiction Team and the Auto Theft Task Force.

Now, she’s bringing her world to Washington, thousands of miles away, where policy-makers grapple with immigration and border issues on the national level.

“The contacts I developed with Arizona police chiefs and sheriffs are extremely useful in this position,” Barr said. “It would be very difficult to do this job without a knowledge of the border and the people there.”
