Dear Alumni and Friends,
You’ll find many timely stories in this year’s edition of The Record. We interviewed Irving Picard (’66), the trustee appointed to liquidate
the estate of Bernard Madoff, engineer of the largest Ponzi scheme ever conducted. We profiled Professor Tamar Frankel, whose
prescient 2006 book Trust and Honesty: America’s Business Culture at a Crossroad suggested that the growing fraud and abuse of trust in
this country could have a widespread impact on America’s economy and prosperity. We also asked Con Hurley, director of the Morin
Center for Banking and Financial Law, and a frequent commentator on the financial crisis that has gripped U.S. and world markets, to
share his observations on the economy with The Record. We talked with Michael Flaherty (’94) about his campaign to become mayor
of Boston, and with alumni who are assisting veterans returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Gary Locke (’75), the son of
immigrant shopkeepers, also spoke with us about his remarkable journey to become our country’s first Asian-American governor and
U.S. secretary of commerce.
Clearly, the past year has been a tumultuous one. The recession has affected almost everyone, and alumni donations have been adversely
affected at a time when our students need financial support more than ever. I encourage all of you to support the School in any way you
can. If you can hire a BU Law student or graduate, I urge you to do so. If you can make a donation to the annual fund, whether you’re a
regular contributor like Mike Schell (’76), whom we profile in these pages, or someone who has never given before, now is the time to help
out. Your contribution will make a difference in the lives of our students, who are facing unprecedented challenges as they prepare to enter
the legal profession.
BU Law continues to be recognized as a top-tier school in legal circles, both nationally and internationally. U.S. News & World Report
ranked our health law program #4, our tax law program #6, our intellectual property law program #11 and the law school overall #20
out of 184 accredited law schools nationwide. Our faculty is widely and consistently acclaimed for its teaching and scholarship, giving
the School added prestige and helping to attract highly qualified applicants. In fact, applications to BU Law were up 29 percent this year
(nationally, applications to law school were up 6.5 percent). We received more than 7,600 applications for 265 slots, allowing us to be
even more selective in the admissions process.
If you’d like to meet some of our students online, get in touch with old friends or network
with other alumni, you can join the BU Law Connection. We’ve created this site to help
you connect more easily with members of the BU Law community. You can also submit
a class note through the Connection and let your fellow alumni know what you are
doing. To take advantage of all the Connection has to offer, just go to our Web site,
www.bu.edu/law, click on BU Law Connection and follow the prompts to register.
It’s quick and easy.
As always, we appreciate your feedback. Tell us what you’re thinking and give us your
suggestions for stories. You may contact the Alumni Office by phone at 617.353.3118 or by
e-mail at lawalum@bu.edu. Thank you for your continued support; we look forward to
hearing from you.

The Veterans’ Veteran:
Kirk Bauer (’78)
Executive Director,
Disabled Sports USA
www.dsusa.org
Kirk Bauer knows first-hand that sports
can help people rebuild lives. After losing a
leg to a grenade injury during the Vietnam
War at age 21, he found a steep downhill
path to recovery when fellow veterans
introduced him to a skiing program run
by Disabled Sports USA (DS/USA).
Bauer reinvented himself as a competitive
ski racer and one of the first fully certified
disabled ski instructors in the country.
Today he is a nationally recognized
advocate for disabled sports, and serves as
vice chair of the President’s Council on
Physical Fitness and Sports. Since 1982
he has spearheaded the growth of DS/
USA into the country’s largest sports and
recreation organization for physically disabled
people, with 100 chapters nationwide.
“I saw the issue of disabled rights as parallel
to civil rights,” said Bauer in a recent
telephone conversation. His training at BU
Law played a key role in his effectiveness
as an advocate and strategist. “I felt that
with a legal education, I could help people
with disabilities move forward,” he said.
In the winter of 2002–03, as the U.S.
invasion of Iraq loomed, Bauer and
colleagues at DS/USA devised a strategy to
offer wounded returning soldiers the same
rehabilitation through sport that had helped
them find new hope in lives torn apart by
injury. Since then, the Wounded Warrior
Disabled Sports Project has served more than
2,500 seriously wounded veterans, providing
free individualized training in many winter
and summer sports, with transportation,
lodging and adaptive equipment.
“The results have even surprised me,” said
Bauer, citing a February 2009 survey by
HarrisInteractive, commissioned by DS/USA,
showing that program participants are twice
as likely to be employed than the general
population of adults with disabilities. “They
are really getting on with life,” he said, adding
that their courage and capacities remind us
that “people with disabilities are people first.”
The Guardsman’s
Neighbor:
Nathaniel Dalton (’91)
Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer,
Affiliated Managers Group
Co-founder and Executive
Board Member,
Guard Support of Massachusetts
www.guardsupport.org
What happens to the families, jobs and
businesses of National Guardsmen and
women when they leave for active service
Nate Dalton, a top executive for the asset
management company Affiliated Managers
Group, had not given the question much
thought until a conversation in 2007 with
his Swampscott neighbor, Michael Finer.
Finer explained to Dalton the challenges
he faced as he prepared to deploy to
Iraq for a year as a lieutenant colonel in
the Massachusetts National Guard.
As president of a financial planning group,
Finer was better placed than many National
Guard colleagues to weather the time
away from his business. But for many selfemployed
workers and small business owners,
deployment can have drastic economic
results, he told Dalton. “These are people
who put their lives on hold to serve us,”
Dalton said. He felt the private sector had a
responsibility to step up and serve them back.
In August 2007, with Finer and other
friends in the legal and business community,
Dalton launched Guard Support, a
nonprofit dedicated to boosting support
services for Massachusetts National
Guard soldiers and their families.
Guard Support aims to plug gaps in
government-provided support, by setting up
a range of services such as giving emergency
cash for child care, housing and utility bills;
setting up Internet connections between
overseas troops and families at home; and
supporting groups that organize moraleboosting
send-off and homecoming events.
A major focus is linking entrepreneurial
veterans with business planning, training
and access to capital to help them
launch or re-launch small businesses.
For Dalton, the most touching aspect of
this homegrown response to a national
emergency is “the level of gratitude from
people to whom we should be grateful.”

The Corporate Supporter:
Peter McCausland (’74)
Chairman and CEO, Airgas Inc.
Supporter of Operation Homefront
www.operationhomefront.net
and Operation Home and Healing
www.operationhomeandhealing.org
As a father whose son was deployed to Iraq
in 2002 during the run-up to Operation
Iraqi Freedom, Peter McCausland knows
that having loved ones in harm’s way “wreaks
havoc on families and individuals.” So when
a poll of more than 14,000 of his Airgas Inc.
employees showed company-wide support for
backing Operation Homefront, a nonprofit
that provides emergency help for military
families and wounded veterans, McCausland
welcomed the call to corporate action.
In 2008, Airgas pledged $300,000 to
Operation Homefront, to be paid over
three years. The company also aimed to hire
100 veterans of the conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan. In addition, Airgas offered a
“Welding 101” course to any veteran of Iraq
and Afghanistan service who was interested
in a career in welding. So far, Airgas has hired
25 veterans and trained about 10 welders,
numbers that McCausland is confident
will rise quickly as the programs become
established. Airgas associates in 830 locations
across the country work with local chapters
of Operation Homefront on service projects
that include planning fundraisers, providing
back-to-school supplies for schoolchildren
with parents on active service, and sending
care packages to servicemen and women.
After McCausland and his wife, Bonnie,
welcomed their son home from Iraq, Bonnie
decided to found Operation Home and
Healing (OHH), to be offered through the
long-established Council For Relationships.
Funded through the McCausland
Foundation, a private family foundation,
OHH aids veterans living in Pennsylvania
and southern New Jersey. It offers counseling
and therapeutic services to veterans of
Iraq and Afghanistan who suffer from the
emotional after-effects of combat, including
post-traumatic stress disorder. OHH also
provides counseling to family members of
service personnel involved in those conflicts.
“My whole family is involved in this. We
all see this as a pressing need that has gone
unaddressed for too long,” said McCausland.
The Accidental
Advocate:
Anna Schleelein (’08)
Staff Attorney at Shelter
Legal Services
Co-founder, Veterans’
Advocacy Network
Phone: 617.338.0572
Anna Schleelein was a first-year law student
when her boyfriend, now fiancé, retired from
the U.S. Marine Corps in 2005 on medical
grounds. His application for health care and
disability allowances from the Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) ended in what he
considered an inappropriately low appraisal
of his level of disability.
With Schleelein’s help, he decided to appeal
the decision. “We didn’t know where to
start,” said Schleelein, now a staff attorney
at Newton-based Shelter Legal Services.
But BU Law librarians helped with research
and bought books on veterans’ benefits for
the library, and Schleelein built a case that
resulted in the VA’s reassessing her fiancé’s
disabled status, with a corresponding rise in
benefits.
Their success encouraged Schleelein to see
fellow law students as “a great untapped
resource” for supporting veterans seeking
benefits. With guidance from Maura Kelly,
then director of the Pro Bono Program
at BU Law, and Susan Prosnitz of Suffolk
Law School’s Rappaport Center for Law
and Public Service, the Veterans Advocacy
Network phone line opened in June 2008,
in partnership with the Massachusetts Bar
Association (MBA). Students who are trained
in basic veterans’ benefits law now staff the
MBA’s phone lines on Mondays from 3
to 5 p.m., and refer veterans to sources of
legal assistance, including a network of 50
volunteer attorneys accredited by the VA.
“You really have to realize that this is
something we owe them,” said Schleelein.
What most strikes her about the service’s
clients, she said, is “the tenacity of these
veterans in the face of tremendous adversity.” •

The Man Who Would Be Mayor:
Michael Flaherty’s (’94) Bid to Lead the City of Boston
Running against an incumbent is
always difficult. Challenging Boston’s
longest-serving mayor is an even more
formidable task. But Boston City
Councilor-at-Large Michael Flaherty
(’94) decided to take the challenge and
try to derail Mayor Thomas Menino’s
bid for a record fifth term in office.
Flaherty, whose father, Michael
Flaherty Sr., was a 12-term state
representative for South Boston, inhaled
local politics as a child, holding signs
for his dad, passing out campaign
pamphlets, attending political events
and fielding telephone calls from
constituents. But it was his experience
as an assistant district attorney, with
its street-level view of the fallout from
underperforming schools, substandard
housing and inadequate social services,
that became a major driver behind
his decision to run for public office.
Flaherty served from 1996 to 1998 as
an assistant district attorney for the
Suffolk County District Attorney’s
office, trying cases in East Boston,
Charlestown and Roxbury district courts.
As a prosecutor, Flaherty recalled, “You
see a lot, some of it very taxing, very
disturbing.” On assignment to Roxbury
District Court, with its many repeat
offenders, he assessed the system and
concluded: “When it comes to public
safety, especially youth violent crime,
we’re not going to be able to arrest and
prosecute our way out of the problem.”
So he decided to approach this problem
from a different angle. He left the DA’s
office to join J. Albert Johnson (later
Johnson, Hassett & Hanley). In 1999,
Flaherty won a seat on the Boston City
Council and has been continuously reelected
since then, serving as council
president from 2002 to 2006. He has
been the top vote-getter in the last three

municipal elections, demonstrating
broad popularity beyond his Irish
roots to appeal to constituencies as
diverse as the Vietnamese and Russian
communities. Through his “Kitchen
Table Conversations Tour,” Flaherty
has met with Boston residents to
hear their ideas to improve the city.
make the city government’s budgeting,
record-keeping and planning accessible
to the public; and a data tracking
and analysis system called CitiStats,
already in use within several U.S.
cities, including Somerville.
Another important campaign theme
is keeping families in Boston, with
“
When it comes to public safety, especially
youth violent crime, we’re not going to be
able to arrest and prosecute our way out of
the problem.
”
working people, and the role of unions
in securing those conditions. He also
stayed active in his old neighborhood,
coaching Little League and youth
hockey and serving as director of the
South Boston Citizens Association.
Flaherty credited Professor Robert Volk,
director of BU Law’s Legal Research
and Writing Program, with teaching
him to research and write like a lawyer
in that first year, as well as keeping an
eye on his extracurricular activities.
“Professor Volk was always looking
on, making sure I was doing what I
was supposed to be doing,” he said.
He reached out to the city’s expanding
gay and lesbian population, becoming
the first citywide elected official to
endorse same-sex marriage in 2001.
He later helped push through the
council an ordinance known as the
transgender protection law, which bans
discrimination against people based on
their gender identity or expression.
Flaherty also draws upon his personal
experiences to inspire his political
views. His pitch for mayor sounds
themes that have preoccupied him
since his ADA days: turning around
the public schools, reducing youth
violent crime, decentralizing policing
to give more power to district
police captains, and streamlining
government spending by making
decisions based on real-time data.
One of his major priorities is to bring
greater transparency and accountability
to government operations, which he
says will help the city identify areas
of wasteful spending. He advocates
using such tools as the Internet to
such proposals as increasing affordable,
family-sized housing and expanding
neighborhood crime watches.
“I’m a city kid. I was born and raised in
the city,” said Flaherty, 40, who grew
up in Boston and still lives in his old
neighborhood with his wife, Laurene,
and their four children, three of whom
attend the Murphy School in Dorchester.
Flaherty’s own education took him
from Boston College High School
to Boston College and then to BU
Law. The first year of law school was
tough, he said, not least because he
continued to work as a driver for
Airborne Express Company, a job
he’d had since leaving high school.
While learning torts, contracts and
other 1L subjects, he was working as a
courier, delivering freight to warehouses
citywide, and loading and unloading
airplanes at Logan Airport. As a member
of Teamsters Local Union 25, he
gained a first-hand understanding of
the importance of “good wages, good
benefits and good safety conditions” for
In his ambitious campaign, Flaherty
said he refrains from ugly politics. He
conceded that Tom Menino was good
for the city when he first took office in
1993, but also said he believes that a new
generation needs a new kind of politics
— with a new politician to lead the way.
Flaherty’s hope is that his approach
to politics and governing, coupled
with his longtime love for the city,
will persuade Boston voters that it’s
time for a change — and that he is
the best candidate for the job.
So far, his hard work has paid off —
Flaherty took second place in the
September primary, and will face off
against Menino in November. In The
Boston Globe, Flaherty told his followers
on primary night, “If everyone in this
room stands with me, rolls up their
sleeves, and helps me throw a shoulder
into this effort, we will change Boston.” •

America’s Future Trust-Brokers:
BU Law Looks at the Economy
Professor Tamar Frankel on the Financial Crisis
and the New Course It Has Inspired
Trust.
It’s a concept that’s on shaky ground
in the financial world these days. But
according to BU Law Professor Tamar
Frankel, it remains the cornerstone
of our entire economic system.
Frankel has devoted much of her storied
legal career to the concept of trust,
teaching and writing extensively on
corporations, mutual fund regulation
and fiduciary law, serving at the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and visiting at the Brookings
Institution. Earlier this year, she testified
before Congress about Bernard Madoff’s
$65 billion Ponzi scheme, and offered
recommendations on how to reform
our beleaguered regulatory system.
Reform is essential, Frankel told
Congress, because no investment
system can flourish in the absence
of trust between investors and
financial institutions. She expanded
on these thoughts in a recent
interview with The Record.
“Over the last 30 years, there has been
a shift away from a reliance on law
and morality toward self-protection
as a way to regulate the system,” she
said. “The assumption is that people
should protect themselves in financial
matters by educating themselves.”
But this simply won’t work, argued
Frankel, noting that the investors who
lost their shirts in the Madoff scandal
included many of the most sophisticated
individuals and institutions.
“We live in a specialized society, so some
services cannot be adequately supervised
by the recipient,” she said. “I cannot
supervise the work of my surgeon when
he performs heart surgery, nor can a
person supervise the work of his lawyer,
or the services of their financial advisers.
In order for the system to work, we have
to entrust our money to our financial
advisers, just as we have to give our
surgeon authority over our body.”
Fall 2009 | The Record | 9

Frankel attributes the erosion of trust
to a fundamental shift in business
culture that began with the deregulation
frenzy of the 1980s, which was
based on the faulty assumption that
markets can regulate themselves.
“There was a growing hostility toward
the law and a growing admiration
for innovation, regardless of what
that innovation was aimed at,” said
Frankel. “So the business world became
increasingly focused on innovating
loopholes — actions that would be
considered immoral in another climate,
but do not violate the precise letter
of the law. In our current financial
culture, morality is considered stupid:
‘If you have an opportunity to grab
and you don’t, you’re a fool.’”
Over time, even the regulators got
drawn into this culture, adopting an
“everybody’s doing it” attitude, which led
them to overlook minor irregularities.
As a result, understandings of what
constituted actionable dishonesty
became elastic and, as we are now
painfully aware, that elasticity ultimately
stretched beyond the breaking point.
“We have created a culture based on
the belief that ‘Whatever is good for
private persons who hold power over
others is good for the country,’” said
Frankel. “Yet power over others, whether
by the government or by the private
sector, must be balanced. That culture of
‘freedom for power-holders’ is still here.
You don’t create a culture in one day, and
you don’t change a culture in one day.”
Frankel states that private powerholders
are very important to balance
government power. And so is the reverse.
Her prescription for change is to create
a regulatory system that will enable
regulators to know more about the
markets, and then act before the system
is threatened. According to Frankel, the
SEC should shift its resources to teams
of specialized financial examiners who
have the expertise required to catch
dishonest behavior before it becomes
pervasive. The activity of these examiners
should be most intense during times of
rapid growth, when innovative abuses
are more likely to occur, rather than
reacting after major institutions crash.
Frankel recalled that during her year
and a half at the SEC she was struck
by how little the agency knew about
developments in the financial markets,
where the innovations were coming
from and where they were heading.
“The way to change the current
culture is to closely follow what the
market is doing, and find out what the
real problems are,” she explained.
Now in her 80s, Frankel shows no signs
of slowing down. Over the years she
has published more than 60 articles
and book chapters, including two
books in the past two years: a teaching
book on Fiduciary Law and a case law
companion to her prophetic 2006 book,
Trust and Honesty: America’s Business
Culture at a Crossroad. She is currently
at work on a case-based teaching book
on securitization with co-author Mark
Fagan, a short book on con artists and
their victims, a book on the theory of
fiduciary duties for Oxford University
Press, and an article on fiduciary duties
of financial brokers. She is regularly
quoted in the national media.
But Frankel’s proudest accomplishment
of late has been the creation of a
multidisciplinary course that exposes
BU Law students to real ethical
dilemmas in the business world. The
class is designed to show how fraud
and dishonesty evolve, even among
those who don’t necessarily set out to
become con artists. Students study the
unfolding of the Enron and WorldCom
scandals; the fall of accounting giant
E.F. Hutton; and the life of the man
whose name has become synonymous
with large-scale fraud, Charles Ponzi.
Ponzi is a particularly powerful teaching
case because, as Frankel’s students
discover, the legendary swindler actually
started out with a legitimate strategy to
profit legally from unstable exchange
rates between countries. It wasn’t
until his get-rich-quick plan failed
that he developed his now-infamous
pyramid scheme. Frankel uses the case
study to demonstrate that there is no
bright line between a Ponzi scheme
and a legitimate business model.
“American corporations pay dividends
on one hand, while borrowing money
or refinancing to pay those dividends.
It’s a model that is very close to a Ponzi
scheme,” she said. “It’s a slippery slope.
It’s not black and white. Through
our discussions and role plays, the
students begin to understand that.”
Frankel said that student responses to
the course have been overwhelmingly
positive, especially about the realworld
applications it offers. Said
Frankel, “Students wrote that they
valued the course highly because
they learned the relationship between
the law and the outside world in
which they will practice.” •

BU Law Looks at the Economy
Leading From the Outside:
Ivory Tower Offers Objective View of Economic Crisis, Says Hurley
Four years ago, Cornelius “Con”
Hurley arrived at BU with a vision.
As the new director of the Morin Center
for Banking and Financial Law, he
wanted to make the 30-year-old graduate
program into more than just an academic
training ground for lawyers. He also
wanted it to be a player on the national
scene — a thought leader in the world
of national and international finance.
“The graduate program was already
very successful,” said Hurley. “But there
was greater potential, and we made a
conscious decision that it would be
better for the Morin Center and for the
law school in general if we did more
things that addressed the practical world.
It’s fine to run a graduate program,
but making a real contribution to the
ongoing debate is where it’s at.”
His timing couldn’t have been better.
Two years into his tenure, the bottom
fell out of the world’s financial
markets; several of the nation’s largest
banks were poised to sink under the
weight of bad loans, threatening
to pull the rest of the nation’s
financial system down with them.
Suddenly banking law and regulation
was no longer the esoteric concern of an
elite club of experts, but of vital interest
to every American. It was, and still is,
the biggest economic plight facing the
United States since the Great Depression.
With two years of preparation under
Hurley’s leadership, the Morin Center
was ideally positioned to step into
the tumult. Hurley himself — a
plainspoken man with a flair for
cutting to the bones of an issue with
an air of insightful congeniality — has
become one of the go-to experts for
media outlets around the country.
Hurley said his position at the Morin
Center puts him in a unique position
to provide unbiased commentary,
because he has no client interests to
advocate for or political administrations
to satisfy — yet he has decades
of experience in the industry.
Hurley sits with more than a dozen
other lawyers on the American Bar
Association’s task force on financial
regulatory reform. It is this task force
that will weigh in on reform issues
on behalf of the legal profession and
the ABA. According to Hurley, “Not
having the ‘burden’ of client interests is
quite useful as we consider the shape of
the financial industry going forward.”
Hurley brings this same approach to
his service as an “independent director”
of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston. One of his colleagues on that
board, Arthur Connelly, chairman of
the American Bankers Association,
said, “We can count on Con to
move the discussion in a positive and
strategically helpful direction.”
Said Hurley, “The ‘Ivory Tower’
has become a pejorative term these
days, but the Ivory Tower is not
such a bad perch for assessing what
we’re going through right now.”
The Morin Center oversees the
publication of the Review of Banking and
Financial Law twice a year, co-sponsors
a series of three-day financial CLE
programs in partnership with the ABA,
and hosts a lecture series that has featured
some of the most powerful individuals
in the financial world, including the vice
chairman of Citigroup, the chairman
of the New York Stock Exchange, and
Congressman Barney Frank, chairman of
the House Financial Services Committee.
But without a doubt, the Morin Center’s
most popular and timely program is
“The Buck Starts Here,” a twice-amonth
luncheon forum for lawyers,
regulators and business leaders that uses
a fast-paced and innovative format to
stimulate insightful discussion of the
hottest financial topics of the moment.
The two-hour program begins with a
summary of the developments since
the last session, followed by a “drill
down” session on a particular hotbutton
issue. It concludes with a Q&A
session with panelists who include law
firm partners, regulatory officials and
business CEOs. Topics have ranged
from Ponzi schemes to hedge fund
regulation to the future of securitization.
“Each session is videotaped and posted
on the Morin Center’s Web site for the
whole world to see,” noted Hurley.
One recent program focused on
President Obama’s proposed Consumer
Financial Protection Agency, specifically
on a proposal to eliminate federal
pre-emption laws so states could
enact their own stricter regulations.
The topic elicited a lively debate as
to whether the plan would improve
regulation — or create utter chaos.
Fall 2009 | The Record | 11

“Eighty people signed up in August,
on the hottest day of the year with a
hurricane brewing off the coast,” said
Hurley. “That tells you something
about the need for this. This is our
effort to put the crisis in perspective.
We do it, not here in the Ivory
Tower, but at downtown law firms
where this will all play out.”
While Hurley’s plethora of outreach
programs hits its stride, the center’s
graduate program continues to thrive
with more than 70 students and two
dozen adjunct faculty — each one
of whom is an active practitioner in
his or her field of expertise. Hurley
said this adjunct arrangement is in
keeping with the school’s philosophy of
providing a practical legal education.
“That’s where the expertise is — in
the marketplace,” said Hurley, who
previously served as general counsel
for Shawmut Bank, as a partner in a
financial services consulting group,
and as assistant general counsel
to the Federal Reserve Board in
Washington, D.C., as it was crafting the
International Banking Act of 1978.
“The J.D. program is superb at
teaching the theory of law, but as you
become more focused the need for
practitioners increases. The graduate
program’s faculty consists of law
partners, leaders in key government
agencies, and senior corporate counsel.
With obvious pride, Hurley observes,
“They are in the real world dealing with
the issues as they come up and share
that experience with our students.”
The stakes couldn’t be higher,
according to Hurley.
“I think we are in the process of
fundamentally changing capitalism,”
he said. “How we play this out will say
a lot about ourselves. This goes beyond
beleaguered banks. We have thrown a
federal safety net under the entire system.
As we remove elements of that safety
net, it will determine what we become.”
Hurley is hopeful but not optimistic,
based on what he has seen so far.
“The Fed has said quite explicitly that 19
banks — those with assets of more than
$100 billion — will not fail,” he said. “I
think that the safety net just puts off the
day of reckoning. I don’t think we can
afford NOT to let some of them fail.”
“
The ‘Ivory Tower’ has become a pejorative
term these days, but the Ivory Tower is not
such a bad perch for assessing what we’re
going through right now.
”
The savings and loan crisis of the
1980s provides an excellent illustration,
according to Hurley. The government
propped up those dysfunctional
institutions for years based on the belief
that, with some help, they would be able
to work themselves out of trouble.”
“But they just got themselves
into deeper trouble,” he said.
The reason is that the bailout gave
the banks no incentive to change
the behavior that got them in
trouble in the first place — and
Hurley sees no indication that this
bailout will be any different.
“These 19 banks are hampering the
economic recovery,” he said. “They
have been reluctant to lend, they have
not changed their risk management
practices in any significant way, and
we know now that they are back to
their old compensation practices.”
“My concern is that three years down
the road, we will think that things
are better — but nothing will have
changed. We will be just as susceptible
to systemic collapse as we were a year
ago when AIG almost went under.”
As the crisis continues, Hurley
is constantly on the lookout for
ways to bolster the Morin Center’s
position as a thought leader.
“Boston University is a big place,
so in addition to reaching out to
external resources, we need to tap into
the wealth of University resources
we haven’t leveraged yet,” he said,
adding that finding the solution will
require a cross-disciplinary approach.
For example, the issue of outrageous
executive compensation packages is
one of organizational development
and governance — so he would like
to call upon James Post, an expert
on corporate governance at the BU
School of Management. He also
hopes to tap such people as Laurence
Kotlikoff in the Economics Department
and Zvi Bodie, also of the School
of Management, who are nationally
recognized figures in the areas of
retirement and investment management.
“If we only come at this problem with
lawyers, it will be like the old saying,
‘To a man with a hammer, every
problem looks like a nail,” said Hurley.
University President Robert Brown has
articulated a vision that encourages
multidisciplinary activities at all levels
of the University. Hurley and the
Morin Center are realizing that vision
and enhancing the law school and the
University experience in the process. •

BU Law Looks at the Economy
Picard’s Unenviable Task:
To Help Madoff’s Victims Recover Whatever They Can
Bernard Madoff’s 150-year sentence
may ensure he spends the rest of
his life in prison, but it does nothing
to heal the gaping financial wounds
suffered by more than 14,000 victims
of the largest Ponzi scheme in history.
That daunting task has fallen on the
shoulders of Irving H. Picard (’66),
the court-appointed trustee who is
overseeing the Madoff bankruptcy.
Picard is the man responsible for
recovering as much money as possible
for the victims, and devising a plan
to divide it up fairly among them.
One would think this Robin Hood role
would make Picard a hero among the
victims, but he is already the subject
of four lawsuits, including one class
action, filed by the very people he has
been hired to help. The problem is
that even if Picard is wildly successful
in his quest, there won’t be nearly
enough money to go around.
The painful fact is that the spectacular
“earnings” Madoff engineered on his
customers’ behalf never existed, and
most of the staggering $18 billion
they gave him to invest is long gone.
As Picard wrote in his first interim
report on June 30, Madoff “shrouded
himself in an unapproachable Wizard
of Oz–like aura,” creating an illusion
of fantastic returns when, in fact, not
a dime of his clients’ money was ever
invested. Instead, Madoff pocketed
his clients’ money to support his own
lavish lifestyle, while paying out enough
to early investors to keep the fraud
going and the money rolling in.
Not surprisingly, many of the
victims are apoplectic.
“The wrongdoer is now in jail, so
they have to vent their venom on

someone — and I’m it,” said Picard.
“You’ve got to have a thick skin; you’ve
got to be made of shoe leather.”
The central issue in the lawsuits is
Picard’s “money-in/money-out” policy
for dividing up the money he is able to
recover. Under this plan, anyone who
money comes out of the money that
should go to the net losers,” said Picard.
“To me, that’s not fair. My personal
view is that if we simply use the [latest]
statements, we would be continuing
the Ponzi scheme. We would be
continuing to let Bernie Madoff decide
who gets paid and who gets [burnt].”
art expert to appraise the hundreds of
thousands of dollars of art in Madoff’s
offices. Picard’s favorite piece — one
that embodies the whole case — was
a Claes Oldenburg sculpture of an
ordinary screw. Madoff kept the
four-foot-tall sculpture, titled “The
Soft Screw,” behind his desk.
“
This case is like an octopus, and the
tentacles keep growing longer.
”
is a “net loser” — that is, anyone who
invested more money than they withdrew
— is eligible to claim the amount
they lost. So a person who invested $2
million but only withdrew $500,000 is
eligible to claim a $1.5 million loss. But
anyone who is a “net winner” — those
who withdrew more money than they
invested — cannot claim anything.
As a result, several net winners have
sued Picard, arguing that victims should
be eligible to claim the amount shown
on their final investment statements.
The problem with that, said Picard,
is that the money reflected in those
statements — a total of $65 billion
— never existed. It was pure fiction.
“If you go with the [latest] statements,
people who already took out more than
they put in continue to get money. That
No matter which plan is ultimately used
to divide up the money, investors will
only receive a fraction of the money they
thought they had earned. It is Picard’s job
to make that fraction as large as possible.
It is a daunting task.
The number and variety of
responsibilities that fall on Picard’s
shoulders is enough to make anyone’s
legs buckle. To begin with, Picard was
immediately responsible for taking over
Madoff’s business and overseeing it
until its legitimate portions sold. This
required him to manage Madoff’s 140
employees, deal with their health benefits
and 401(k) plans, and gradually lay them
off so the business could be closed down.
To do this, he hired a team of
consultants, attorneys and even an
“So anyone talking to Madoff would
be looking at this screw,” said Picard.
“It’s kind of ironic, don’t you think”
In order to liquidate Madoff’s business
assets, Picard first had to find them.
This hasn’t been easy, given the fact that
Madoff was an extraordinarily wealthy
crook who was well aware that the feds
were going to catch up with him sooner
or later. So Picard also manages a team
of legal, financial and forensic experts
who have been combing the world’s
financial markets to find these assets.
“This case is like an octopus,
and the tentacles keep growing
longer,” said Picard.
Meanwhile, Picard has issued more
than 230 subpoenas and 90 letters of
warning in his effort to track down and
litigate the recovery of all of the investor
money that was paid out to preferred
investors to prop up the Ponzi scheme.
According to Picard’s June 30 progress
report, these efforts have “unearthed a
labyrinth of interrelated international

funds, institutions and entities of
almost unparalleled complexity and
breadth. … The relationships between
the involved entities are tangled and
frequently involve many nations, various
funds and complicated corporate
structures and jurisdictional issues.”
These recovery efforts fall into two main
categories: “preferential transfer” claims
and “fraudulent transfer” claims. The
preferential transfer claims are based on
the contention that much of the money
withdrawn in the 90 days before federal
authorities seized Madoff’s business was
based on insider tips that the axe was
about to fall. The numbers tell the story.
“We’re looking at something like
$6 billion that went out the door
in the 90 days before Madoff’s
company was seized,” said Picard.
For example, in July Picard filed a
$44.8 million suit against Madoff’s
wife, Ruth, claiming that in the last two
years alone she withdrew a staggering
$23.7 million from the company
to “support her lavish lifestyle.”
Of course, not all of the recent
withdrawals were shady. Some investors
were making routine withdrawals to
pay taxes, college tuition or medical
bills. So it is Picard’s responsibility to
determine which of these withdrawals
to go after and which to leave alone.
“We’re following the money,” he said.
“One of the things I always marvel
at when I do these cases is how much
paper these people maintain.”
Picard is also going after the so-called
“fraudulent transfers” — returns paid
to certain investors that were clearly out
of line with what any investor could
reasonably expect. These actions don’t
require Picard to prove the defendant
was a co-conspirator, only that they
“knew or should have known” that no
legitimate investment could produce the
kinds of returns they were receiving.
For example, while most investors were
receiving paper “earnings” of 10 to 12
percent, others were reaping profits that
were truly extraordinary. Picard filed a
$6.7 billion suit against Jeffry Picower
on May 12, claiming the former lawyer,
his hedge fund and his philanthropic
organization “claimed annual rates of
return that were more than 100 percent,
with some annual returns as high as 500
percent or even 950 percent per year.”
The complaint alleges that Picower
withdrew $12 billion from Madoff’s firm
in 2008, including $6 billion in the 90
days prior to seizure of the business.
“Picower and the other defendants
were among the primary beneficiaries
of this scheme, reaping billions of
dollars of other people’s money,”
Picard said in the complaint.
Picower has filed a motion to dismiss the
complaint, a move that indicates this is
likely to become protracted litigation.
So far, Picard has recovered $1.25
billion and has filed litigation (including
the Picower suit) to recover up to
$14 billion more. In addition, he is
in separate out-of-court settlement
negotiations with a number of other
individuals and institutions.
Another avenue of recovery available
to Picard would be to file suit against
those individuals and entities he
believes actively conspired with
Madoff to perpetuate the fraud.
These would be suits against feeder
funds that were knowingly funneling
clients into the Ponzi scheme in
return for preferred treatment.
As if all this weren’t enough, Picard also
managed a massive public information
operation geared toward ensuring
that everyone who was eligible to file
a claim did so by the July 2 deadline,
and he continues this operation to keep
claimants informed of his progress. In
addition to a steady stream of press
releases, Picard has held an in-person
informational meeting with creditors,
established 1,000 phone lines for those
who couldn’t attend the meeting,
posted a video of the meeting on the
Internet, established a toll-free hotline
that has fielded more than 6,000
calls, and set up a Web site (www.
madofftrustee.com) with up-to-theminute
information on his recovery.
He has also set up a hardship program
geared toward getting money
quickly to the people who were
hardest hit by the Madoff scam.
“There are parents caring for disabled
children, elderly people with serious
medical problems, people who are
potentially losing their homes,” said
Picard. “Some retired early because
they believed they had a lot of money,
then woke up one morning and found
out they had nothing. And this is
happening at a stage in their lives,
especially in this economy, when
they’re not going to find a job.”
“I know a lot of people don’t
think I stay up at night thinking
about them. But I do.”
Picard is 68 years old, so this is
likely to be the last case of his career
of such magnitude, one that could
very well define his legacy. What
is his ultimate goal in the case
“To recover as much money for the
victims as possible, of course,” he said.
“I would also like to be remembered
as a lawyer who was thoughtful, did
what he believed was right, did his
work to the best of his ability, and
had compassion for the victims.” •

Climbing Above the
Culture Clash
An Interview With
U.S. Secretary of Commerce
Gary Locke (’75)
Fall 2009 | The Record | 17

On Aug. 5, 2008, Gary Locke (’75)
could be found dashing through the
streets of Chengdu, China, carrying the
Olympic torch that, in just three days,
would launch the 2008 games in Beijing.
Locke is not an athlete. In fact, while
growing up in Seattle, his Chinese-
American parents didn’t allow him to
play sports so he’d have more time to
devote to his studies. Yet there he was,
decked out in a red and white Chinese
running uniform, sprinting through
the streets of his ancestral homeland as
part of a relay that began four months
earlier in Olympia, Greece, and traveled
85,000 miles across six continents.
What brought Locke this unusual honor
was his unlikely rise from humble roots
as the son of immigrant shopkeepers
to become the first Asian-American
governor in U.S. history. As governor
of Washington state, he presided over
an economy that is more dependent
on foreign trade than any other state
in the nation, courting high-level
Chinese contacts in his efforts to
promote the state’s manufacturing,
high-tech and service industries.
When he left office eight years later, he
built upon these contacts as a partner
in the international practice group at
Davis Wright and Tremaine in Seattle.
His diligent efforts were rewarded in
July 2006 when he was granted a rare
private meeting with Chinese Premier
Wen Jibao in Beijing, and again
that same year when he convinced
Chinese President Hu Jintao to begin
his U.S. tour in Washington state.
Locke’s stunning career trajectory
took another leap forward in March
when President Barack Obama
chose him to become the 36th U.S.
secretary of commerce, entrusting
him with a key role in guiding the
nation’s economic recovery.
The magnitude of Locke’s journey
was driven home to him soon after he
“
I loved BU Law. It was intellectually
stimulating and I had some great professors.
I always tell people that even if you never
practice law, a legal education sharpens
your analytical skills and critical thinking.
”
was elected governor, when his family
made a pilgrimage to their ancestral
village of Jilong in southern China.
“It was like stepping back into the
1800s,” said Locke. “We took the
hydrofoil from Hong Kong up the Pearl
River to our family village, and visited
the house my grandfather was born in.
My parents hadn’t been back since they
were married 50 years earlier. The house
is in a village of 150 people, which is less
than a half-mile from a city of 2 million
— and there are still no flush toilets.”
This was not the first time Locke
had experienced such a cultural
jolt. When he was 10 years old, his
father took him to Hong Kong to
visit his paternal grandmother.
“She was living in a compound that
was like a refugee camp on the hillside
of Hong Kong,” said Locke. The floors
of her six-by-six room were dirt, she
slept on a bench and had no plumbing.
“It was a complete culture shock, and
I was very homesick for the U.S.,”
he recalled. “It helped me appreciate
the incredible life I had there.”
But when Locke returned home, he
experienced another kind of culture
clash. His parents, like many immigrant
couples, wanted their children to
retain the values and traditions passed
down from their ancestors. But this
was 1950s America, and cultural
conformity was the order of the day.
“We were bombarded by television
shows like ‘Father Knows Best’ and ‘The
Donna Reed Show,’ where mothers
vacuumed the house in high heels
and pearls. I had a third-grade teacher
who would ask every student what
we had for breakfast, and if it wasn’t
a traditional American breakfast, we
got our hands slapped with a ruler.
[Our family] usually ate a kind of
rice porridge with fish and vegetables,
so I got my hands slapped a lot.”
As a result, Locke grew up believing he
had to choose between being Chinese
and being American. It was not until
the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s
that he learned to reconcile the two.
In spite of his adolescent struggles,
Locke ultimately fulfilled his parents’
dreams, attending Yale University on
scholarship and later graduating from
Boston University School of Law. He
chose law as a career path believing
he would probably work in Asian-
American legal services after graduation.
“I was in college during the Civil
Rights Movement and the Vietnam
War protests, and decided that the best
way to make change was by using the
law rather than burning buildings,”
he said. “I loved BU Law. It was
intellectually stimulating and I had
some great professors. I always tell
people that even if you never practice
law, a legal education sharpens your
analytical skills and critical thinking.”
Locke’s initial plans for his legal career
took an unexpected turn after his
second year of law school when he won
a Rule 9 internship, a Washington state
program that allows law students to
represent misdemeanor cases. A year
later, he landed a job in the Washington
District Attorney’s office prosecuting
major felonies, including capital murder
18 | Boston University School of Law | www.bu.edu/law

cases. His transition into politics was
a steady upward climb, from state
representative to county executive to
the governor’s mansion in 1997.
As governor, Locke quickly developed
a reputation as a “New Democrat”:
socially liberal but fiscally conservative.
Calling education “the great equalizer,”
he reduced class size and created a
scholarship program for workingclass
families that reached 15 percent
of every graduating class in the
state. He also increased funding for
public colleges, which increased
faculty salaries and enrollment.
When the recession hit following
the 9/11 attacks, Locke had to freeze
many of these programs; but he
emphasizes that he never resorted to
laying off teachers, increasing class
size or cutting scholarship funding.
“I’m very proud of what we were able to
do in tough economic times,” he said.
During that same period Locke
instituted a subsidy program for
working people who could not get
health insurance from their employers,
and created a state-run food stamp
program when the federal government
slashed the national program. He
also earmarked $40 million to build
housing for migrant farm workers.
“I saw the conditions farm workers
and their families lived under and
realized that they are feeding the
United States and the world,” he
said. “The conditions reminded me
of my grandmother in Hong Kong,
and it just didn’t seem right.”
too. But his most lasting legacy may
be his dedication to opening foreign
markets for the state’s technology,
agriculture and service industries.
These skills, coupled with his reputation
as a detail-oriented manager, are what
prompted President Obama to make him
a part of his economic recovery team.
As U.S. secretary of commerce,
Locke has several short-term goals
which, although administrative in
nature, will have a long-term impact:
conducting an accurate 2010 U.S.
Census; cutting the four-year wait
for patent approvals to one year; and
launching new weather satellites to
be operated by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration.
Among his top long-term goals is to
improve trade relations with China,
which he believes will have the
added benefit of giving the United
States more leverage in influencing
Chinese foreign policy and human
rights policies. To do this, he would
like to loosen several of the trade
restrictions that are currently in place.
Germany and Latin America. Many
of these restrictions simply deprive
the United States of sales and hurt job
creation in this country. We should
focus on strengthening restrictions on
those items that would have a clear
impact on national security and loosen
the restrictions on those products that
are readily sold in other countries.”
He added, “My position is that the
U.S. offers China highly valued
goods and services that can raise
the standard of living in China,
while creating jobs in America.
We can export technology for food
production, medical care, engineering
and education, as well as technologies
to reduce the carbon emissions that
contribute to global warming.”
Locke’s story is a decidedly American
one. It is tempting to wonder what
his grandfather would think — a
man who came to America briefly in
the late 1800s to work as a houseboy
a mile from the governor’s mansion
his grandson would one day inhabit.
Following his historic victory to become
governor of Washington in 1997,
“
I saw the conditions farm workers and
their families lived under and realized that
they are feeding the United States and the
world. The conditions reminded me of my
grandmother in Hong Kong, and it just didn’t
seem right.
”
During his eight years in office, Locke
developed a reputation as one of the
state’s most business-friendly governors.
Against the odds, he persuaded
Boeing, the state’s largest employer,
to manufacture its new 787 jetliner in
Washington, after the company had
put the project out to bid in other
states. And he prevented the Seattle
Seahawks from pulling up stakes,
“The Chinese recognize that the trade
imbalance is unhealthy; they want to
buy more U.S. products,” he said. “But
there are currently barriers to some of
what they want to buy. The National
Academy of Sciences has concluded that
some of these restrictions are counter
to U.S. interests because these items
can be easily bought from Canada,
Locke was fond of saying, “It took my
family 100 years to go one mile.”
But that one mile was just the
first step in a steady upward climb
that continues to this day. •

BU Law Welcomes New Faculty
At the core of any law school is its faculty. BU Law professors are nationally acclaimed for their
teaching skills as well as their scholarship, and they are frequently consulted for advice by
both the public and private sectors. We are proud to welcome the following two members to our
faculty: Stacey L. Dogan and Abigail R. Moncrieff.
Stacey L. Dogan
Professor of Law
Professor Dogan, who joins the BU faculty from Northeastern
University School of Law, is a leading scholar in intellectual
property law. She has written many articles on the application
of trademark and copyright law to the online environment,
with a particular emphasis on the role of intermediaries, such
as Napster and Google. Her most recent article, co-authored
with Mark Lemley of Stanford, considers the role of antitrust
law in regulated industries, and contends that antitrust courts
have an important role to play in curbing “regulatory games.”
Professor Dogan has presented her research at numerous
national and international conferences, and her writings have
appeared in publications including the Stanford Law Review,
Emory Law Journal, Iowa Law Review, and Texas Law Review.
In the fall of 2008, she became the co-editor-in-chief of the
Journal of the Copyright Society, a peer-reviewed copyright
journal. She is also the incoming chair of the intellectual
property section of the Association of American Law Schools.
She is an active participant in educational programs with the
local bar, leading seminars and discussions for the Boston Bar
Association, Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education and
the Massachusetts Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. She also
has participated in executive training sessions through the
Northeastern University high-technology M.B.A. program.
Before Professor Dogan went into teaching,
she practiced for several years with the
Washington, D.C., law firm of Covington
& Burling, where she specialized in
trademark, copyright and antitrust law.
She also served as a law clerk to Judge
Judith Rogers of the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Abigail R. Moncrieff
Associate Professor of Law
Peter Paul Development Professor
Abigail Moncrieff joins the BU Law faculty from Harvard
Law School’s Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy,
Biotechnology and Bioethics, where she was an academic
fellow. While at the Petrie-Flom Center, Professor Moncrieff
argued for federalization of medical malpractice policy
in an article published in the Columbia Law Review.
Moncrieff’s academic interests include healthcare law,
healthcare law & economics, structural constitutional law,
and legislation. In 2002, Professor Moncrieff was awarded a
Fulbright scholarship to study comparative healthcare policy
in Switzerland (one of the only countries in Europe that still
relies on private insurance to finance healthcare delivery).
She received her J.D. from the University of Chicago,
and clerked on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for
Judge Sidney R. Thomas. At BU Law, Professor Moncrieff
teaches the first-year legislation course as well as a seminar
on healthcare law & the Constitution. In her writing,
she continues to tackle structural governmental barriers
to efficient healthcare delivery in the United States.
BU recently awarded Prof. Moncrieff the Peter Paul Development
Professorship. The award was established in 2006 by a gift from
BU alum and trustee Peter Paul to recognize
the “very best young faculty” who
are within the first two years of
their appointments to Boston
University. The competition
is University-wide; recipients
are supported for three
years in their research
and scholarly pursuits.

Professors Brodley and Baram Announce Retirements
We are grateful to Professors Michael Baram and Joseph Brodley for their many contributions to
the School and wish them a healthy and happy retirement.
Professor Joseph Brodley, after a long and distinguished
career as an antitrust scholar, retired at the end of the Spring
2009 semester. Boston University Law School hosted a
symposium honoring Professor Brodley’s contributions
to antitrust law on September 18, and the Boston
University Law Review will publish the contributions.
Professor Brodley, The Honorable Frank R. Kenison Distinguished
Scholar in Law, joined BU Law in 1979 and taught courses
in antitrust law and economic regulation. He is recognized
internationally for his experience in antitrust issues. In addition
to lecturing in the United States and Europe, he has served
as a consultant to many organizations including the Federal
Trade Commission and the Ford Motor Company, and
testified before numerous congressional committees. In 2001,
Professor Brodley served as visiting scholar at the Federal Trade
Commission and earlier as a visiting fellow at Oxford and
Cambridge universities. Professor Brodley served as a member
of the Board of Advisors of the American Antitrust Institute
in Washington. In addition, he served as interim dean of BU
Law and as associate dean for research for many years.
Professor Brodley’s most recent articles are “Predatory Pricing:
Strategic Theory and Legal Policy” and “Predatory Pricing:
Response to Critique and Further Elaboration,” both published
in the Georgetown Law Journal and “Patent Settlement
Agreements: Preliminary Views” (with Dean Maureen
O’Rourke) in Antitrust Magazine. His work was also published
in such journals as Harvard Law Review, Yale Law Journal,
Stanford Law Review and Boston University Law Review.
Professor Michael Baram came to BU Law in 1981 and
has taught environmental law, occupational health law,
biotechnology law, corporate risk management and products
liability. He also held faculty appointments at the School
of Public Health and the Bioinformatics Department.
“I am officially retired from BU but will be quite active,” Professor
Baram said. He’ll be working with some international colleagues to
finish a book on regulating risks of genetically modified agriculture,
continuing as a pro bono legal volunteer at the Boston office of the
Conservation Law Foundation, and developing environmental and
safety regulations for energy projects with a team of experts from
Norway. “I’m writing on social control of hazardous technologies,”
he added. “It has been my main concern since my days as a
professor at MIT many years ago.” More importantly, he said he’ll
not only be using the time to enjoy his grandchildren and relax,
but to also reflect. “I’m trying to discern what real wisdom I have

Professor Fran Miller is Honored
for 40 Years of Dedication to the School
The majority of alumni who have
passed through BU Law’s doors
over the past 40 years have benefited
from Professor Frances Miller’s devotion
to the School and her enthusiasm
for teaching. She reshaped the way
health law was taught, shifting our
focus from medical malpractice to a
more complex exploration of health
care organization, finance and delivery.
She was also instrumental in building
the University’s health law program,
a collaborative effort of the Schools
of Law and Public Health. She holds
appointments at each of those Schools
as well as the School of Management.
Over the past 40 years, most students
have learned health law or trusts and
estates or both from her. She is widely
acclaimed for her substantive expertise,
sense of humor and gift for teaching.
In recognition of her outstanding
ability, Boston University awarded her
its highest honor, the Metcalf Cup and
Prize for teaching excellence, in 1989.
Fran, as she is known to most alumni,
will retire from Boston University in
December. A large number of her
former students joined to honor her at
an October 23, 2009, dinner during
Reunion Week festivities. Many who
attended spoke of her zest for knowledge,
which has led her to become one of the
foremost experts on American health
care law and policy, and a specialist
on comparative health systems.
In 1993, she served as a consultant
to the White House Task Force on
Health Care Reform. She was awarded
two Fulbright scholarships to research
the effects of competition on British
health systems, as well as a Kellogg
Foundation National Fellowship to
study the delivery of healthcare in
Europe, Africa, South America, the
Middle East and China. Also known for
her expertise in trusts and estates, she
was a major contributor to and starred
in two PBS television series on estate
and financial planning in the 1980s.
Over the course of her career, Fran has
been a dedicated scholar, writing a book
and publishing more than 85 articles and
book chapters. She has also served as the
faculty editor of the American Journal of
Law and Medicine at the School and as
a trustee of the Joslin Diabetes Center
and of Mount Holyoke College.
The enduring relationships Fran
formed with students and alumni, as
well as the countless contributions
she has made to BU Law, the School
of Management, and the School of
Public Health, have earned her the
community’s deep gratitude and respect.
As to the next chapter of her life (Fran
doesn’t use the word retirement), she is
looking forward to teaching in Hawaii
this spring, writing short stories and
spending time with her family. She even
plans to teach a trusts and estates class at
BU Law next fall, giving our community
a little more time to say goodbye. •

School Mourns Passing of Margaret der Hagopian
Boston University School of Law
mourns the passing of Margaret
“Margo” Der Hagopian, who passed
away in Winchester on July 22, 2009.
She is survived by her brother Robert
Hagopian and her nephew, Andrew
Hagopian, and his family. She was 82.
Her memorial at Marsh Chapel
and in the BU Law School was well
attended by many who loved her.
“We just want to thank everyone for the
wonderful tribute that BU School of Law
had for Margo,” said Andrew Hagopian.
“It was wonderful to hear of how she
has touched everyone. Margo would be
very honored to know the impact she has
had on not only the students and faculty
but also the history of the school.”
After joining the staff of BU Law 62
years ago in 1947, Margo became the
heart and soul of the School through
her dedication to excellence and her
unwavering kindness to all students,
faculty and staff who were fortunate
enough to know her. Even after her
retirement in 2006, Margo continued
to serve the School as its historian,
and she never lost touch with those
members of the BU Law community
about whom she deeply cared.
“Margo was a rare and delightful
person,” said Dean Maureen O’Rourke.
“She nurtured and supported our law
students and alumni for more than
half a century. Long after she earned
a relaxing retirement, she chose to
remain a vibrant contributor to the
School. Few people have been as
dedicated to the School and as loved by
faculty, staff, students and alumni.”
The daughter of Armenian immigrants,
Margo was a lifelong resident of
Newburyport. She earned an associate’s
degree in commercial science from
Boston University’s College of Practical
Arts and Letters in 1947. That same
year, she began working in the law
school as a secretary to the faculty. She
was hardworking and personable, and
she was quickly promoted several times,
eventually becoming assistant to the
dean. In her long relationship with the
law school, Margo worked under nine
deans. Her meticulous documentation
of the School’s history has preserved
the chronicle of BU Law for future
generations. Almost every corridor of the
law school contains framed photos of
distinguished alumni, thanks to Margo’s
tireless efforts to preserve their stories.
“Margo was a presence not only in
the alumni community, but also
throughout the entire law school. She
was strongly involved in organizing
alumni events, and she often attended
the board of trustees and the board
of visitors meetings,” said Professor
Stanley Fisher, who met Margo when
he joined the BU Law faculty in 1968.
Fall 2009 | The Record | 23

Professor Robert Volk (’78) recalled
Margo’s dedication. “I first met Margo
when I was a student at BU Law,
working in the law library. From time
to time, I would be sent to the Dean’s
Office to make deliveries and run errands
for Margo. She seemed to run the law
school. When I joined the law school
in 1980, first with the Morin Center,
and then as director of the Writing
Program, I learned that Margo really did
run the law school! Her hard work and
dedication to the law school cannot be
overstated, and we will all miss her.”
Margo was witness to great
transformations at BU Law. She
made the move from the School’s
former location on Beacon Hill at
11 Ashburton Place to its current
site at 765 Commonwealth Avenue.
At the start of her career, BU Law
graduated around 90 people each year.
Today, the School graduates nearly
500 J.D. and LL.M. students.
“We’ve become quite a different law
school in the years Margo has been here.
And Margo reminds us that we were
just a little downtown law school,” said
Professor David Seipp, who worked
with Margo in her efforts to preserve
and document BU Law’s history.
Through all the changes, her dedication
to the School’s community never
faltered. It was the connections she
made over the years that she valued
most about her experience at BU Law.
“For her, it wasn’t just, ‘Oh, I met
you; hello, goodbye,’” said Irene
Moustakas, director of Personnel
Services at BU Law and a close friend
of Margo’s since Margo hired her in
1951. “It meant a great deal to her
to have that contact with students.
She liked it, and they appreciated it.
They appreciated that someone cared
about them enough to stay in touch.
She went out of her way to be nice to
them and ask about their families.”
BU Law and Boston University honored
Margo many times for her unwavering
support. She was the first recipient
of the Student Bar Association award
honoring outstanding service and
contribution to the student body in
“
Margo was a rare and delightful person,”
said Dean Maureen O’Rourke. “She nurtured
and supported our law students and alumni
for more than half a century.
”
1987. Later that year, she received the
John S. Perkins Distinguished Service
Award. This award is presented annually
by the Boston University Faculty
Council for those who have “served the
University with great distinction and
have made important contributions
toward the goals of the University.”
In 1988, Margo received the Silver
Shingle Award, the highest honor given
by the law school, for Distinguished
Service to the School of Law. She
received the Gerard H. Cohen
Award in 1995. At the reception
for the latter honor, a description of
Margo’s accomplishments stated, “By
1983, she had total responsibility for
the operational budget, personnel
and payroll, faculty appointments,
accreditation reports and countless other
administrative duties. She was literally a
one-woman administration.” Professor
Seipp noted, “We’ve essentially been
replacing Margo with whole staffs.”
At the 125th anniversary of Boston
University School of Law in 1997, the
Annual Alumni Gala was held in honor
of Margo for her 50 years of service to
the School. Margo told BU Today, “I
can’t imagine anyone having a better
time anywhere than I’ve had here….
I’ve enjoyed my years here so much
that they haven’t seemed like work.”
Robert Kent (’49) said in his speech
honoring Margo during this event, “It is
often said that no one is indispensable.
Maybe so, but this woman came close.”
“The larger part of Margo’s effect has
not come from her ability to administer,
advise and direct the life of the School,”
said then-Dean Ronald A. Cass in a
letter announcing the event. “It has
been a simple and rare quality: she
loves people so readily and fully that we
cannot help falling in love with her.”
This seemed especially true for the law
students at the School whom Margo
cared for long past their graduations.
“I first met Margo 53 years ago when
I was a first-year law student,” said
Morton Aronson (’59). “She had great
empathy and understanding of the trials
and tribulations of law students. Margo
always went the extra mile to be helpful.”
In many cases, her service to the students
is what alumni remember best about
their experience at BU Law. “She stayed
in touch with graduates throughout
the country — and the world, for that
matter. To the students, although she
never admitted or acknowledged it, she
really functioned as the School’s ‘go
to’ person. She was the one a student
would turn to in the event of a problem
or question,” said Paul Sugarman
(’54). “Margo is synonymous with the
Boston University School of Law.”
It was clear that Margo loved the
law school, and the School of Law
was fortunate to have been her
second home for so many years.
“Margo Hagopian is one of a
kind,” said Sugarman. “There is
no mold, and I doubt that there
will ever be another Margo.” •

Q&A with Professors Linda McClain
and Katharine Silbaugh
Professors Offer Course on Gender, Law & Public Policy This Fall
Over the past few decades, the
conversation about gender and the
law has expanded beyond feminist
legal theory to include a much broader
discussion of social and political equality
across a wide spectrum of situations.
Ending gender discrimination and
securing women’s rights has become a
priority for some policymakers, including
President Obama, who appointed a new
White House Council on Women and
Girls. An August 17, 2009, article in
The New York Times Magazine titled
“The Women’s Crusade” asserted that
the oppression of women and girls
worldwide has become the human rights
cause of our time. Family definition,
same-sex marriage, lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender (LGBT) rights, black
masculinity issues, reproductive rights,
freedom from domestic violence, and
work-life balance are just a few of the
topics encompassed within the broad
category of gender today. This past
spring, Professors Linda McClain and
Katharine Silbaugh pioneered the new
BU Law colloquium “Research on
Gender, Law & Public Policy.” The
course allowed second- and third-year
students at BU Law — along with BU
professors and political science graduate
students — the opportunity to meet
with experts in the field to discuss their
works in progress. Using gender as a lens
through which to view many different
topics in law and policy, Silbaugh and
McClain capitalized on the wealth of
experts at BU and in the region.
In structuring the course, McClain
and Silbaugh chose to expose students
to a range of different methodologies
and perspectives, enlisting experts in
law, history, political science, social
policy and literature who are exploring
issues of gender, law and public policy.
Students were asked to examine
scholarly work, think critically about
it and become familiar with some
of the varied approaches scholars
may take when examining a topic.
McClain and Silbaugh answer
questions about the Gender, Law
& Public Policy course, which
McClain will teach this fall.
Pnina Lahav. And there was student interest
in bringing in high-level scholars who have
developed expertise across different areas that
touch on gender.
Linda McClain: I think that a lot of pressing
issues of law and policy involve gender in
some way. By that, I don’t mean simply
questions of women’s basic equality, but also
issues about things like family definition,
the rights of gay men and lesbians and of
transgendered persons, just to name a few.
Q: What did you hope to accomplish
with this course
LM: [We hoped to give] students a chance
to see how very significant law and policy
issues involve gender questions, and also to
give them the chance to meet and interact
with leading scholars who make gender a
focus of their scholarly work — not just law
professors, but also people in some other
disciplines as well.
Q: What was your primary
motivation for developing an upperlevel
course on law and gender
Kate Silbaugh: We wanted to capitalize
on expertise that Linda and I share, as well
as [BU Law professors] Kristin Collins and
Fall 2009 | The Record | 25

KS: The students were happy with it, and
I thought it was a great success. We had a
great line-up of speakers, and the students
worked incredibly hard. They gained
an understanding of a scholar’s process,
something traditional courses can’t deliver.
This is what we had hoped to accomplish.
Q: Who participated in last
semester’s course
LM: We had 15 students, including one
graduate student in political science. It was
mostly female students, but we had two male
students. Any professors who wanted to
attend were also welcome; we probably had
anywhere from two to five professors come to
each session.
Q: What was the format of the
colloquium
KS: We met with students the week before
the speaker would come, and we would
talk about the paper that was going to be
presented. Students were encouraged to think
about the author’s decision-making: both
decisions about focus, coverage and scope,
as well as how the particular paper fit into
the larger research agenda. During class,
students could engage the speaker about those
decisions.
LM: We would put the work in context, if
necessary — for example, we would explain
its connection to certain gender and law
debates or issues. We would give students a
chance to discuss the points they raised in
their weekly reaction papers. If we saw certain
common themes in the reaction papers, we
would invite the students to discuss them.
Q: How does this seminar add to
someone’s understanding of the law
LM: Examining the underlying assumptions
being made helps people better understand
the law and policy arguments. For example,
one of our speakers, Professor Elizabeth
Emens of Columbia University, was looking
at how people use arguments about nature,
either as a reason why we can’t really change
things or as a reason why we have to change
things. She explored disability, sexual
orientation, gender, race and aging. And I
think once students read that paper, it gave
them some new tools for thinking about how
people have certain assumptions about what
the proper role of law is.
Q: Who are some of the outside
speakers who have served as experts
for this colloquium, and how were
they selected
LM: We tried in the first instance to go with
some local people. We have a large number
of law schools in the Boston area, and we
also have some wonderful people here at
the University. We had the dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences, Gina Sapiro,
[who presented her paper “The Gender
Basis of American Social Policy.”] Other
speakers included Harvard Law School
Professor Jeannie Suk, who analyzed how
gender, privacy and the home feature in the
Supreme Court’s Fourth Amendment cases,
and Northeastern Professor Martha Davis,
who presented her paper “Welfare, Work
and Education.” We also took advantage of
opportunities where a well-known scholar
was coming to the law school for another
reason and was willing to participate in
our colloquium. We will do that again this
semester when Professors Anita Allen [of
the University of Pennsylvania] and Kim
Scheppele [of Princeton] visit BU. Last
semester, we had Professor Reva Siegel, a
leading legal historian at Yale, present recent
work on how opponents of abortion have
adopted pro-choice rhetoric about women’s
rights to argue that abortion harms women.
[She also presented] a work in progress on
recovering the history of the early abortion
rights movement.
KS: We were trying to make sure that we
invited speakers with a range of different
expertise, so we looked for history, political
science, social policy and literature, for
example. We also wanted a variety of topic
coverage, so there were some scholars who
spoke about the lives of low-income women,
some about reproductive rights, some about
marriage, some about disability, some about
transgendered issues. … [Wellesley Professor]
Diana Williams talked about interracial
marriage during the Reconstruction period in
New Orleans and the laws addressing it.
Q: What is your background in the
subject area
KS: I have taught a Women & Law class and
a Women, Work & Families class for many
years. I have a longstanding interest in the
way law perceives women’s roles, and the way
cultural understandings of women’s roles are
reflected in the law.
I have written at length about the way
law captures and fails to capture the value
generated by women’s domestic labor. I also
have written about the ways urban planning,
26 Fall | 2009 Boston | University The Record School | 26 of Law | www.bu.edu/law

which is reflected in land use regulation,
reflects particular ideas about women in
homes as they interact with workplaces. I’ve
written about work-family policy generally.
I also just published a book with a colleague
from another law school called The Essentials
of Family Law.
LM: I went into law teaching with a strong
interest in doing work in gender and law
and feminist legal theory. When I started at
Hofstra University, I designed the feminist
legal theory class. Toward the end of my time
at Hofstra, I designed a gender colloquium
with a colleague [Joanna Grossman], who
is the co-editor of my new book, Gender
Equality. So I had done it one time before I
came to BU.
I have always had an interest in gender as a
category of analysis. When I went into law
teaching, one of my big goals was to be able
to do more with that interest, to write and
teach in that area.
Q: How does the Gender, Law &
Public Policy colloquium differ from
other gender-related courses at BU
Law
LM: Rather than have a whole course devoted
to a study, say, of feminist legal theory, you’re
really looking at gender as a very big category.
And you are looking at an array of speakers,
not all of whom may approach the topic from
a feminist theory perspective. For example,
this fall one of our speakers from Suffolk
[Frank Rudy Cooper] has done a lot of work
on black masculinity. And so he’s going to be
looking at the recent arrest of Professor Gates
through the lens of black masculinity theory.
It’s not a systematic course, where a student
would go in and come out knowing seven
different schools of feminist thought and
15 current debates among feminists. It’s
more like, if we try to focus on gender and
how questions of gender are at the heart of
a lot of law and policy debates, what can we
learn And it changes semester to semester.
This semester we’re going to have a session
on rights of women in Islam and Judaism to
public prayer. We didn’t really discuss women
and religion last time.
And I think that students also like the
opportunity to be able to engage with each
other in a relatively small class where they
are challenged to express their reaction to a
piece and to try to assess the strengths and
weaknesses of it. In other words, it’s not
passive learning. •
Editor’s note: BU Law Professors Kristin Collins,
Pnina Lahav, Linda McClain and Katharine
Silbaugh each specialize in aspects of gender
and the law, along with many other academic
interests. McClain will teach this course again
in the fall with a new lineup of scholars that
includes Collins and Lahav.
Professor McClain’s latest book, Gender
Equality: Dimensions of Women’s Equal
Citizenship (Cambridge University Press
2009), looks at the discrepancy between
nations’ formal commitments to gender
equality and the experiential reality of
women’s lives. McClain co-edited the
book with a former colleague at Hofstra
University, Professor Joanna Grossman.
The book brings together 21 experts from different disciplines
to look at gender equality through the lens of citizenship,
covering topics ranging from “Stem Cells, Disability and
Abortion: A Feminist Approach to Equal Citizenship” to
“Gender and Human Rights: Between Morals and Politics.”
The collection of articles covers constitutional citizenship,
political citizenship, social citizenship, sexual and reproductive
citizenship and global citizenship — all in exploration of the
gap between the ideal of gender equality and the current reality,
and what it would take for the ideal to be realized.
On October 23, 2009, McClain moderated a panel at the
daylong symposium at BU Law, “Courting Change: Legal
Perspectives on Contemporary LGBT Issues,” which examined
legal issues surrounding LGBT rights.
On October 27, 2009, BU Law hosted a panel on the book,
moderated by Professor Pnina Lahav, and a reception. Panelists
included BU College of Arts and Sciences Dean Gina Sapiro,
BU Women’s Studies Director Diane Balser and Harvard
Kennedy School of Government Professor Jane Mansbridge.

Public Interest Project
Celebrating 25 years at BU Law
Suffering Kaudwane natives,
disabled war veterans and distraught
homeowners are just a few examples
of the clientele assisted by BU Law
students. These students are spending
their entire summers providing pro bono
legal services to clients traditionally
underrepresented by the law.
But without funding from the law
school, summers spent working
at nonprofits would be financially
impossible for many students. Since
1984, the law school’s Public Interest
Project (PIP) has raised funds in order
to allocate grants to BU Law students
pursuing unpaid public sector work.
Now the largest student-run organization
on campus, PIP is celebrating its 25th
anniversary. Over the years, PIP has
grown into more than just a fundraising
organization; it creates opportunities
that bond students with underprivileged
communities throughout the world.
Resources for students working
with nonprofit, public-interest and
government organizations are even
more crucial during an uncertain
economy. Now more than ever,
nonprofits providing legal services
are facing shrinking budgets and
corresponding layoffs. PIP grant
recipients are invaluable to these firms.
BU Law alumna Anna Schleelein (’08)
[see story on Schleelein, page 6] is
grateful for the number of PIP grant
recipients able to assist with her work
at Boston’s Shelter Legal Services (SLS).
Due to limited resources, SLS, which
provides services to homeless or lowincome
women and veterans through
onsite clinics throughout Boston, relies
on law student volunteers to staff its
clinics. “We currently have 17 BU Law
students who are volunteering with our
organization, which is more than any of
the other Boston-area law schools,” said
Schleelein. “Without their assistance,
we would not be able to serve nearly
as many clients as we have this year.”
In 2008, PIP provided grants to more
than 60 students, nearly one-third of
the law school’s 1L class. All students
are eligible for a maximum of $4,000,
equal to working 40 hours per week
for 10 weeks. Recipients report
weekly work hours, and are paid each
week via grants processed through
Boston University’s payroll system.
Though sending a weekly timesheet
to Boston from Africa was a bit of a
hassle for Andrew Novak (’09), he
describes his Botswana experience as
amazing. “I spent most of my time
working on indigenous rights issues
and Zimbabwean refugee issues,” said
Novak, who worked for a grassroots
NGO, the Ditshwanelo Botswana
Centre for Human Rights in Gaborone.
Life-affirming experiences are in no
shortage among past PIP grant recipients.
Margaret Barusch (’09) said her 2007
and 2008 PIP grants jump-started her
career. Her PIP grants allowed her to
spend her summers working for the
Committee for Public Counsel Services,
a 15-member body appointed by the
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
The Committee oversees the provision
28 | Boston University School of Law | www.bu.edu/law

Public Interest Project Auction 2009
of legal representation to indigent
persons in criminal and civil court
cases and administrative proceedings
in which there is a right to counsel.
“When I entered law school, I knew I
wanted to become a public defender,”
said Barusch. “At the Committee for
Public Counsel Services, I was able to
spend time in court representing clients,
visiting clients in local jails, researching
criminal law issues and writing memos
and motions. Because of my PIP grant,
I was able to work with dozens of
fascinating clients, and at the same time
get experience that will help me get
my dream job as a public defender.”
While many students only apply
for grants for their 1L summers,
grant recipients often stay involved
with PIP’s board, helping to raise
financial support for the next wave
of 1Ls. Almost immediately after the
spring semester comes to a close, new
board members start working on the
upcoming year’s fundraising initiatives.
“I think the organization has a lot to
offer,” said Adrienne Bossi (’10), a
PIP student director. “I like the idea
that each year, a new board helps PIP
evolve a little more. We’re constantly
growing with each new board’s
unique background and creativity.”
With ideas such as book sales, finalsweek
moustache contests, and “Men
of BU” calendars, PIP students are
constantly inventing new opportunities
for fundraising. “We do the ‘Beantown
Shootout’ basketball game against
Boston College every fall, raise money
from our spring and fall phone-a-thons,
and host events like a private showing
of the most recent James Bond movie
at the Fenway cinema,” said Bossi.
The organization’s main source of
income, however, is its annual auction
gala, which draws generous donations
from students, faculty, alumni and
the Boston community for both its
live and silent auctions. While there
are high-value items like Cape Cod
getaways and signed movie scripts up
for bid, the law school’s tight sense of
community and camaraderie is reflected
in the most-coveted faculty-themed
donations, such as the dean’s parking
spot and dinners with professors. Hefty
financial donations from Goodwin
Procter, Lexis Nexis, Westlaw and Barbri
also help to augment the PIP fund.
Over the years, PIP has become more
than a fundraising organization.
For BU Law students and alumni,
the organization’s efforts have led to
priceless experiences. “From a personal
perspective, working with my clients
was the best part of the summer,”
said Barusch. “From a professional
perspective, the opportunity to sit in
on a variety of lawyers’ meetings with
clients and witnesses was the best part.”
In the future, PIP directors hope the
organization will not only be a great
“
Without [PIP’s] assistance, we would not
be able to serve nearly as many clients as
we have this year.
” —Anna Schleelein (’08)
professional resource, but also a valuable
networking opportunity. “We tried
this year to be more of a social group
than just a funding organization,” said
Bossi. “I hope that has taken root.” •

Gov. Howard Dean
Delivers 2009
Commencement Speech
After nearly three decades of
political, professional and grassroots
involvement, former Vermont Governor
and Democratic National Committee
Chair Howard Dean is ready to pass the
torch. In his commencement address to
BU Law’s Class of 2009, he talked about
his years of experience being used as a
benchmark for change, and cited the
newly minted graduates as an example of
what the face of change looks like today.
“You are the first multicultural
generation that sees yourselves how you
really are, and so the very first thing
you do when you’re in your 20s is to
elect a multicultural president, which
is extraordinary,” said Dean. “We are
witnessing a change, a transfer of power
to a new generation of Americans.”
And Howard Dean knows change
when he sees it. As the longest-serving
governor in Vermont history, from
1991 to 2003, as well as a physician, he
was the momentum behind the state’s
Dr. Dynasaur Program, an initiative
that provides near-universal healthcare
coverage for pregnant women and
children. The program, the first of
its kind in the United States, thrust
Vermont into the spotlight as a national
leader in healthcare. In 2000 he signed
the nation’s first civil union legislation
into law.
During his campaign to be nominated as
the Democratic Party’s 2004 presidential
candidate, Dean used the Internet to
gain financial and voter backing. Despite
his failed run for the nomination, his
grassroots tactics served as a model for
future elections. Barack Obama followed
Dean’s lead, harnessing technology to
galvanize younger voters and to help
secure the presidential nomination in
2008.
Despite Dean’s pioneering history,
he is quick to attribute the success of
the recent election to the graduates in
the audience. “My generation could
put a million people on the streets of
Washington, D.C., but your generation
sends a million e-mails to Congress and
shuts down the congressional e-mail
system for three days. You are smarter
and more pragmatic, and you believe in
talking to each other,” said Dean. “That
is the hallmark of your generation — to
set aside the things we fight over and
focus on the things we agree on.”
One of the hallmarks of Dean’s career
emerged when he became chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
and set as a goal the idea to smash the
long-held belief that traditionally red
and blue states could not meet in the
middle. With his “50-State Strategy,”
Dean aimed to create a Democratic Party
presence in Republican strongholds.
Obama’s adaptation of this strategy in
the 2008 presidential race earned votes
in regions once considered Democratunfriendly.
While comparing the 2008 voter turnout
rate to “an earthquake for everybody in
my generation and for everybody in the
past two or three generations in politics,”
Dean was quick to caution that the work
is far from over.
“Politics is not all about running
for office,” said Dean. “It’s also
community organizing, belonging
to your community library, working
in your church or your synagogue or
your mosque to find ways to help less
fortunate people have a chance. It is
anything that organizes human beings.
We need you to be involved.”
Dean added, “This is an extraordinary
country, but democracy is like every
other invention of human beings: If
you don’t nurture it, it dies. You have
changed the culture of America to reflect
what America really is. Don’t blow it.” •

“
You’re kidding yourself
if you think that what you
paid in tuition is a fair
trade for what you got
back,” said Schell. “If you
want to have a school the
quality of BU Law — and
that’s important to me —
then you need alumni and
parents who are willing
to contribute, not just
financially but also with
their time.
”
Michael Schell (’76) talks about giving back
When Michael Schell graduated from
Columbia University in 1969 with a
degree in English, he concluded that
he was qualified to do one thing —
teach high school. The problem was he
couldn’t find a job.
He worked in construction, taught sixth
grade, and after four years decided it was
time to get some career training that was
a little more practical than his in-depth
knowledge of the Romantic poets. So
Schell enrolled at BU Law, graduated in
1976, and eventually became executive
vice president for the Alcoa Corporation,
in charge of the company’s international
business development.
It goes to show what a good law school
education can do for a person.
Schell is a firm believer that alumni have
a responsibility to give back to the school
that provided them with such a huge leg
up in life.
“You’re kidding yourself if you think that
what you paid in tuition is a fair trade
Fall 2009 | The Record | 31

for what you got back,” said Schell. “If
you want to have a school the quality
of BU Law — and that’s important to
me — then you need alumni and parents
who are willing to contribute, not just
financially but also with their time.”
Throughout Schell’s long and successful
career, he has continued to foster strong
ties to his law school alma mater. As one
of his many contributions, he serves as a
member of the Dean’s Advisory Board, an
activity he sees both as a way to give back
to the school and to enrich his own life.
“Being a lawyer is, among other things,
about developing networks around the
country,” he said, noting that the board is
made up of “highly successful, intelligent
and diverse” graduates of the school.
In addition to his board work, Schell
has volunteered his time to help secure
graduation speakers, meet with firstyear
students to talk about his career,
and even teach a class or two along the
way. He believes this type of personal
participation is an excellent way for
alumni to help the current generation of
students find their niche in such a wideranging
profession.
“As you get older, you realize that things
come to you by dint of hard work and
talent, but also because other people
have made sacrifices and contributions,”
he said. “All of the selfless contributions
from the alumni and board members are
what make it possible for BU to continue
as one of the top law schools nationally.
If I can be useful by re-contributing some
of the benefit that came my way, I believe
that it is a good thing to do.”
“The things that I have done through
BU have been interesting, enjoyable
and enriching,” he concluded. “I believe
that participating in your school is a
combination of obligation, interest and
old-fashioned fun.” •
Schell Cites BU Law as the Catalyst for His Career
Michael Schell’s career trajectory since graduating from BU
School of Law in 1976 has been a steady upward flight.
Based on an internship following his first year, Schell landed
a position in the corporate law department of Cadwalader,
Wickersham & Taft for two years, moved on to the mergers
and acquisitions department at Skadden Arps, and became a
partner in 1984.
“Coming out of BU, I found that I was well equipped wherever
I went and whatever challenges I had to deal with as a young
lawyer,” he said. “I had great teachers, particularly in my
first year. Every teacher I had that year made an enormous
intellectual impact on me. They showed me a new way to think
about things and approach problems that I still use to this day.”
After 19 years as a Wall Street lawyer, Schell decided to try his
hand at investment banking, serving as vice chairman of Global
Banking for Citigroup. Last year Alcoa, one of his long-term
clients at Skadden Arps, persuaded him to come aboard to run
the aluminum giant’s business development efforts.
“My job is to survey industries worldwide to identify business
opportunities for Alcoa,” said Schell. The scope of his search
is enormous, since aluminum is used in a wide range of items,
from commercial airplane wings and armored personnel
carriers for the military to automobile engines and litho plates
for printing newspapers and magazines — and of course, the
production of beverage cans.
With the recent economic downturn, much of Schell’s efforts
have focused on improving the efficiency and environmental
sustainability of aluminum production. He noted that it takes a
great deal of energy to extract aluminum from the ground and
refine it into a useable form.
“Because a large chunk of the industry is energy, we have
to face up to the whole carbon footprint issue,” he said. “A
large part of my business development efforts is looking for
green energy opportunities. The cleanest source of energy is
hydroelectric, and we have a number of smelters around the
world that run on hydro. The newest one is in Iceland. We are
also investing in substantial hydro operations in Greenland,
Brazil and Western China.”

Since its founding in 2006, he has handled more than $400 million
in transactions. Previously, he was associate general counsel of

from Shanghai International Studies University in 1981, and in 1982
received his post-graduate certificate from the United Nations Training
Course at Beijing Foreign Studies University. In 1993, he received
his J.D. from BU Law, where he was a recipient of the American
Jurisprudence Award and the topics editor of the Boston University
International Law Journal.
Alan R. Stern (’09)
For Distinguished Service to the School
Alan Stern entered BU Law in the fall of 2006 with a B.A. from
New York University, graduating on the Dean’s List and magna cum
laude. He gained experience at the Brooklyn Legal Aid Society, where
he assisted victims of domestic violence, as an aide to New York
State Assemblyman Thomas DiNapoli, and at the Brooklyn District
Attorney’s Office.
After his first year at BU Law, Stern was designated a G. Joseph Tauro
Scholar, a recognition given to the top 10 percent of his section. As a
tribute to his exemplary work and dedication, he earned membership
on the Review of Banking and Financial Law, and he was elected to
serve as an articles editor. In the summer of 2007, he was selected as
a judicial intern for the Honorable Michael Dolinger, U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York.
BU Law professors said that Stern stood out with his love of learning,
breadth of interests and valuable contributions to class discussions. His
academic achievement and his devotion to friends and service were all
the more remarkable given his struggle with illness. Stern temporarily
left school to deal with his illness, but he stayed in touch with the BU
Law community.
He passed away in 2008. Although the length of his life was too
short, the impact he had on the law school and larger communities is
powerful and lasting. BU Law is honored to have known him, if for
only a short while. •

ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING
FISCAL YEAR 2009

Dear Alumni and Friends,
Like most academic institutions across the country dealing with the impact of the severe recession, Boston University School
of Law faced an array of challenges in the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2009. As we began the 2009 fiscal year in the
summer of 2008, it was not conceivable that in only a few months the nation would be gripped by an economic crisis so dire
that it would bring most of our financial institutions to the very brink of collapse.
A year later, our financial markets appear to be recovering and beginning a slow climb out of recession. BU Law has also
weathered this financial storm without severe consequences. The fiscal planning that President Brown and Dean O’Rourke put
in place early last fall to counter the effects of the recession enabled our faculty, students and staff to continue our enterprise
without harsh cutbacks to academic program areas, student services and financial aid, and most importantly without layoffs.
However, even our very sound fiscal planning would not have been as effective without the financial support of our generous
alumni and friends.
In the 2009 fiscal year (July 1, 2008–June 30, 2009) the Law School received cash gifts totaling $1,870,726 from 2,279 alumni
and friends. We thank the many of you who maintained or even increased your giving in FY09, notwithstanding your real fear of
what the future would hold. Although every single gift in FY09, no matter how small, helped us avoid a more serious financial
picture, a few significant gifts are worthy of special mention.
Paul R. Sugarman (’54), a longtime supporter of BU Law, and his wife, Susan, made a wonderful pledge of $100,000 to
establish the Paul R. and Susan J. Sugarman Scholarship Fund. The income from this permanently endowed fund will provide
annual scholarship awards to one or more students enrolled at the School of Law. This is a welcome addition to our financial aid
offerings, especially as the debt burdens of our students remain a concern.
Also in FY09, the School of Law received $167,000 from the Marion Kauffman Foundation as part of a new three-year grant in
support of Professor Michael Meurer’s research and work in the area of innovation.
Loyal Law School alumni continue to remember us in their wills and estate plans, and we encourage all alumni to consider a
testamentary provision for the School as a way of demonstrating your ultimate support for your alma mater. The estates of
Joseph F. Holman (’50) and Mary G. Sullivan (’49) made gifts of $50,000 and $49,626, respectively. Their gifts will ultimately
support our building facilities and our unrestricted needs.
Notwithstanding the current economy and its impact on alumni giving, Dean O’Rourke and I have continued our conversations
with many of our most supportive alumni regarding the Law School’s strategic plan and how additional gift revenue will be
needed to make that plan a reality. We are determined to reach out to as many alumni as possible no matter where they reside
and practice geographically as we ramp up our fundraising efforts. Indeed, BU Law alumni are positioned in almost every major
industry and legal market across the nation and beyond. Although a significant number of alumni remain in New England, we
have growing numbers of alumni on the west coast and abroad.

Law Fund & Donor Roll

panel sessions followed by a Reunion Class BBQ, the annual Golden Circle Celebration for the 50th reunion class,
and the annual gala dinner and cocktail reception hosted by Dean O’Rourke at the Intercontinental Hotel in Boston.
In honor of their reunions, members of these classes contributed over $290,000 in gifts to the School.
2009 Law Firm Challenge – The BU Law Firm Challenge had another successful year with more than $508,888
donated by alumni at law firms across the country! The Law Firm Challenge is designed to give alumni at law
