Perpetual Motion
“I OFTEN FIND MYSELF RUSHING through the vestibule of the law school from work to a class or from anexternship. Although most law students usually walk calmly, quietly, and composed through the class-room door once they arrive at class, it is a bit chaotic before. When I am standing at the guard’s desk, Ihave noticed other law students rushing to and from, and as a result, I happened to catch this photo.
I joke with my classmates that it feels like we will always be rushing or that we are in a perpetualintellectual whirlwind (especially when you take summer classes). Once law school is over, life reallydoes not slow down and might speed up even more. One thing that I have noticed is that UM Lawgives us confidence to explore and conquer new projects or endeavors as law students. As a result,many of us graduate and enter the legal world with refined passions or specialities that make usunique commodities. Thus, I suppose there is no time to slow down but capturing this student ‘in-motion’ makes me think that maybe there is just enough time to stop and appreciate all that the lawschool has taught us.”
Daria Grayer is a second-year evening student, bioethicist at Washington Hospital Center’sCenter for Ethics, and an award-winning photographer.
Dear Graduates and Friends,I have known for many years that Maryland is a great law
school. As a law professor at Temple University, I respectedso many of UM Law’s faculty and greatly admired the School’scommitment to public service and its groundbreakingClinical Law Program. During the Dean Search process, themore I learned about the Law School, the more impressed Ibecame. But not until I became a member of the communitymyself did I fully appreciate how remarkable MarylandLaw truly is.
It’s a community that includes the gifted teachers andscholars and committed staff who work here. Outstandingstudents who study inside these walls. Dedicated graduateswho devote countless hours of their time and offer wisecounsel. And generous supporters who provide vital resourcesto sustain our work.
Most meaningfully, this institution’s definition of com-munity doesn’t end at the doors of the Law School, or exclude individuals that have never set foot in ourbuilding. Our community includes our neighbors in Baltimore who are given a voice and find justicethanks to the efforts of our legal clinics. It extends to disaster-stricken regions where our graduates helprebuild shattered lives. It reaches Capitol Hill, as our faculty’s scholarly expertise shapes the debate oncutting-edge issues at the intersection of technology and privacy. I invite you to read about all theseaspects of our community, and many more, in the pages that follow.
I also to thank so many of you for all you have done to welcome me to your community. I have appreciatedlearning more about you and your thoughts about the Law School’s future. This issue of the magazineprovides an opportunity for you to learn more about me. Another opportunity for us to meet will beOctober 3, as the School of Law hosts my first formal event as Dean. I hope you will be able to attend andlook forward to meeting as many of you as possible.
My door is always open, and I will be relying on your insight and support as we continue to expand thereach and impact of the Maryland Law community.
Best wishes,

Wit and Wisdom “No one has done a decent job of coveringthe four years that Thurgood Marshall practiced in
Baltimore. It was a very active period, but it wasdifficult to get at. He did major civil rights cases, but
he also tried to keep his private practice.”
—Larry Gibson in the Washington Post, announcing the opening of the newexhibit “Thurgood Marshall’s Early Career in Maryland: 1933-1937” in the
Marshall Law Library.
“In the last couple of yearspeople are starting to be awarethat if they have these units intheir car, people can keep track
of you. I think it’s a growingpublic awareness. The problem is
that most people feel like, ‘I’mnot doing anything wrong, so
who cares?’ But I think that’s thewrong way of looking at it.”
—Renée Hutchins in a New York Times article aboutFourth Amendment protections for the use of GPS data.
“The AIG bailout is a wealthtransfer scheme in the guise of a public invest-
ment in a supposedly going concern. In plainEnglish,AIG is winding up its derivative business.Since it was on the losing side of derivatives bets,
wind up means payment to winners.”
—Robert Rhee in a National Law Journal op-ed about the AIG bailout.
“The longer anaccused remains
unrepresented and unableto challenge the
government’s case, themore likely delay
jeopardizes a fair trial.The prosecutor’s decisive
advantage often results inunjust convictions and
coerced pleas.”
—Douglas Colbert, writing in The NationalLaw Journal about equal justice for poor peo-
ple accused of committing a crime.
“It’s amazing what we willdo and say when we are shielded
from social shaming. You thinkwhen you’re doing it online, people
are images and things that weattack. It’s depersonalized. Thisgeneration has been schooled in
the misogyny of bravado. It’sbecome a point of pride that Ican talk that way, too. I can be
vicious. Young women are jumpingon this, thinking it’s empowering.
It’s anything but.”
—Danielle Citron, in the Philadelphia Inquirer,speaking about online bullying.
“It’s been nearly two decades since anyonewho has not served as a federal appellate judge –for at least a little while—has been confirmed to sit onthe Supreme Court.What this means is that justices onthe Court have come to be representative of a verynarrow slice of the profession. Federal appellate judges,former federal prosecutors and high-powered federalappellate practitioners stand a very good chance ofgetting nominated. State court judges, full-time lawprofessors, former criminal defense attorneys, even civilpractice trial lawyers—not so much.”
—Sherrilyn Ifill in a CNN commentary about the need for professional diversityon the Supreme Court. “I have applauded the Governor for his
vision in continuing to invest in the future ofbiotechnology in our state. There are numerouslegal and ethical considerations in this type ofresearch. But the world’s most prominent scientists,researchers, and policy makers in the fieldrecognize that Maryland has developed an approachto stem-cell research that serves as a model for therest of the world.”
—Karen Rothenberg, Chair of the Maryland Stem Cell Commission, in theWashington Post after Governor Martin O’Malley reconfirmed his commitmentto funding stem cell research.
“During the Bush years,it was all too common for
administration political
appointees to suppress or
reshape scientific findings. They
infamously tried to suppress a
report by EPA scientists on the
scope of global warming, for
example. But ending such
heavy-handed manipulation by
political appointees is the low-
hanging fruit of the effort to
restore science to its rightful
role in policymaking. It
absolutely needs to be picked,
but there’s much more to
harvest.”
—Rena Steinzor in a Baltimore Sun op-ed about therelationship between science and policy.
“Did China and Indiasuddenly have gigantic needsfor new oil products in a singleday? No. Everybody agreessupply-demand could not drivethe price up $25, which was arecord increase in the price ofoil. The price of oil went fromsomewhere in the 60s to $147in less than a year. And we werebeing told during that run-up,it’s supply-demand, supply-demand, supply-demand.”
—Michael Greenberger on 60 Minutes, discussing therole of speculation in driving up oil prices, including aone-day jump of $25.

IN 2002, DAVID PASSON, A DISABLED VIETNAM
veteran living on a fixed income, found himself in adesperate situation. Confronting a mound of medicalbills, he sold some stocks to pay down his debt. Butin fending off one set of creditors, he unsuspectinglystumbled into a different quagmire.
Six years later, Passon received a $30,000 billfrom the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), whichhad taxed the earnings of the stocks he had sold.Fortunately, Passon immediately notified his socialworker, who referred him to UMLaw’s Low IncomeTaxpayer Clinic.
Enter law student Jonathan Elefant, J.D. candidate2010. Researching the matter, he determined that thestocks Passon sold had not appreciated enough towarrant the taxes imposed by the IRS. Over the courseof nearly three months, Elefant assisted Passon inpreparing a new tax return, essentially wiping hisfinancial slate clean.
“I’m so very grateful. Jonathan was marvelous,”says Passon, who, prior to going to the clinic, facednot only an insurmountable debt but the IRS’sthreat to garnish his Social Security wages.
The resolution didn’t come easily. “Once the IRSassesses a tax liability, you have to unravel the wholeprocess. We simultaneously negotiate with the IRS toget them to stop collecting against the client whileworking to determine whether the tax liability isvalid,” explains visiting law school assistant professorPamela Chaney, who oversees the clinic.
Under Chaney’s guidance, student attorneysprovide free tax preparation to low- and moderate-income working families in Baltimore City andrepresent low-income Maryland residents who havedisputes with the IRS. This academic year, theclinic prepared an estimated 175 tax returns andassisted 64 clients in resolving tax issues. Students areexpected to average 28 hours of clinic work perweek, but Elefant took on an additional caseload.
“I stayed late, I worked Sundays,” he says.“Being low-income doesn’t entitle people to any lessrespect or any less dignity than we would give ourfriends and families. The fact that they’re here showsus they’re not trying to run away from the issues;they’re trying to resolve them.”

SettingThingsStraight withUncle Sam
Clinical Law Program Fills Vital NeedsEACH YEAR, THE STUDENT ATTORNEYS who take part in UMLaw’s 26 student law
clinics provide free legal services to hundreds of community residents in need, while
honing their own legal skills. Brenda Bratton Blom, professor and director of the
School of Law’s Clinical Law Program, estimates the clinics provide an average of
110,000 hours of service annually—involving 25 faculty and 250 students. “The
number of people who need these services grows every year. When you have to
choose between lunch and a lawyer, it’s an easy decision,” Blom says. Accomplish-
ments of Clinic faculty and students in 2008-09 included:
Students in the Reparations, Reconciliation and Restorative Justice seminar
spearheaded passage of a new state law that requires insurance companies wishing
to do business in Maryland to disclose any policies they or their predecessor firms
provided to slave owners until 1865;
The Civil Rights of Persons With Disabilities Clinic was instrumental in the
case of Shane Feldman, et al., v. Pro Football Inc., et al.,which determined that under
the Americans With Disabilities Act, closed captioning of scoreboard announcements
during Washington Redskins games at FedEx Field was not optional but required;
The Environmental Law Clinic recorded a number of victories. Students re-
searched and drafted the newly enacted Environmental Standing Bill that gives indi-
viduals and associations the ability to challenge state environmental permits,
licenses, and Critical Areas variances and other state environmental decisions in
state court.
The Waterkeeper Alliance, represented by the Clinic, reached an agreement with
the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) resolving the Waterkeepers’
legal challenge to MDE’s general stormwater permit for construction sites. As a re-
sult of this agreement, MDE has committed to making significant changes to the way
it requires developers to prevent polluted runoff caused when rain washes sedi-
ment and other pollutants from these exposed areas.
The Drug Policy and Public Health Strategies Clinic worked with the U.S.
Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division in negotiations with Baltimore to remedy
the City’s zoning code’s discrimination against licensed residential substance abuse
treatment facilities
Working in the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, Jonathan Elefant ’10 helped a clientresolve a $30,000 bill from the IRS.
FROM THE OUTSET, THE NEW COURSE Lawyers andLegal Systems and Their Social Context, was an unusualventure. Funded in part by a grant from the Fetzer Instituteof Kalamazoo, Michigan, the course asked School of Lawstudents to critically examine common assumptionsabout the legal system, including its fundamental moraland ethical premises.
“We decided it would make sense to present some-thing to the public. We wanted to show the kinds of legaland ethical issues lawyers face,” says professor MichaelMillemann, who co-taught the class with Robert Bowie’77, founder of Bowie & Jensen, LLC, and a part-timeplaywright. Live theater—an art form defined by themaxim “show, don’t tell”—proved uniquely well suited tothis process, so the duo set out to have their student cre-ate an original drama.
Millemann, Bowie, and their students decided to focuson the case of Walter Arvinger, whose case made nationalnews in 2004 when he was released after 36 years behindbars for a murder it is now widely accepted he did notcommit. Millemann and students from the School of Lawwere instrumental in bringing attention to the case andsecuring his release. The play that resulted is actually aplay-within-a-play, showing both the events leading tothe false conviction, and the moral and ethical issuesstudents grappled with three decades later as they triedto prove Arvinger’s innocence.
The professors initially had expected to cast the showusing local actors. “What really surprised me was how
completely the students took control of the effort,” saysBowie. “They wanted to act in the roles they created, whichwas incredible; it really was an added benefit to the class.”
The students were not without resources. Professionaltheatrical leadership was provided by Elliott Rauh, man-aging director of Baltimore’s Single Carrot Theatre, whoserved as director. of the production. His cast of fourmen and four women “entered into the heart of the law,”says Bowie, “by engaging in a process that exposed themto the humanity of law that is usually only learned afterthe boot camp experience of law school is completed.”
The process of researching, writing, discussing, andrehearsing the play—which included classroom visits byArvinger himself, and from former Governor RobertEhrlich, who commuted Arvinger’s sentence—brought areal immediacy to the idea that lawyers’ actions have far-reaching consequences. “I really had to think about whatthe lawyers did, and that made a big impression uponme,” says graduating student Octavia Shulman, who playedArvinger’s mother, and the “class clown” in the studentscenes. “Everyone was so excited by this. It was so uncon-ventional teaching the law in such a creative way. Whenthe Governor came to school that conversation reallyscared me to death. What I do or don’t do as a lawyer canhugely impact someone’s life. It made me feel I reallyhave to know my stuff.”
For director Elliot Rauh, the whole effort really cametogether when the play was performed in April before astanding room only house of friends, classmates, faculty,and family members of the cast. “There is a momentwhen the students transform to prisoners in a jail, callingout at Kaplan [Arvinger’s attorney]. It was this reallywonderful theatrical moment. Basically in four weeks ofrehearsal we bonded and had this opportunity to createsomething together, and it really worked.”

THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION of HumanRights (UDHR) remains an important,guiding model for governments and peoplearound the world, but 60 years after itsadoption by the United Nations, constantpolitical will and effort is still required to seethe document’s high-minded promises turninto real protections.
That message was among those aired at theSchool of Law’s three-day symposium fromOct. 23- 25 marking the 60th anniversary ofthe declaration’s signing. Speakers addressedthe challenges posed to the ideals contained inthe document by worldwide poverty, hunger,poor health, and persecution. The litany ofhuman rights abuses by autocratic regimesfrom Chile to Russia and China are beingreplaced or joined by abuses cloaked in thebanner of counterterrorism, according toseveral of the more than three dozen speakersand moderators.
Former President of Ireland and U.N.High Commissioner for Human Rights MaryRobinson delivered the keynote. “Sixty yearson, there is a woeful global failure to secureaccess to justice and basic rights like food,health, and safety for a majority of humans.The law doesn’t work for about 4 billionpeople in our world,” said Robinson.

Redefining theRole of ClinicalEducation
TO COMMEMORATE the 35th
anniversary of its founding, the
School of Law’s pioneering Clini-
cal Law Program spotlighted its
mission of integrating theory
with practice by hosting the
national conference “Curriculum
Reform: Linking Theory and
Practice” on March 6.
Faculty and deans from lead-
ing clinical law institutions
gathered for discussions about
integrating best practices into
the curriculum and the redevel-
opment of law school curricula.
“Clinical legal educators are
poised to play an important role
in the next developments in the
legal academy,” said Brenda
Bratton Blom, Director of the
Clinical Law Program. “This is
not a time to just plow ahead as
if circumstances were the same
as they were last week or last
year. This is a time to take a
deep breath, and evaluate not
just how we are preparing stu-
dents to be lawyers, but how we
are maximizing our impact in
the services that we deliver.”
In his keynote address,
Professor Michael Millemann
detailed the different ways the
Clinical Law Program at the
School of Law has grown and
changed over 35 years. But the
overarching concern, he said,
is to continue to teach and
mentor students, even as
alumni. “We all are special
trustees of the students’ ideal-
ism,” he said. “We recruit stu-
dents because they are
idealistic. When they get here,
we should nurture that ideal-
ism. When they graduate, we
have to continue to support it.”

IN THE LATE 1960S AND ’70S, POLICY MAKERS endorsed a “reformist approach” toward
addiction that emphasized the need to provide treatment therapeutically instead of criminally.
However, exploding drug use in the ’70s alarmed policy makers and led to the initiation of the
“War on Drugs” and a zero-tolerance approach to addiction treatment.
Last November 7, the Law & Health Care Program co-hosted the conference “Obstacles
to the Development and Use of Pharmacotherapies for Addiction.” In delivering this year’s
Stuart Rome Lecture, Professor Richard Bonnie, an expert in the fields of mental health and
drug law, asserted that the pendulum is swinging back to therapeutic treatment because “it
has become increasingly clear that the War on Drugs has caused a great deal of damage at
great cost, with little evidence that it has made any impact.”
At the conference, lawyers, health care providers, judges, and regulators discussed the
obstacles that exist at each stage of medication development and uptake, including challenges
for pharmaceutical companies; obstacles relating to clinical trials and the FDA approval process;
patient reluctance to use and provider reluctance to screen for, and prescribe, medications to
treat addiction; and gaps in insurance coverage for these medications.

of the symposium. “Congress does not have an infra-structure in place to deal with this.” (l-r) New York

Leading the Way in AlternativeDispute Resolution
FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR, Maryland leaders
participated in the Maryland Public Policy Conflict Resolution
Fellows Program. Building upon the success of the inaugural
program in 2007, the Fellows engaged in three days of ex-
ploration of interest-based negotiation, collaborative gover-
nance, and consensus building skills. The second class of
Fellows represented a wide variety of Maryland leaders in-
cluding representatives from the legislature, faith-based
community, judiciary, executive, and non-profit sectors who
came together to learn from each other and national leaders
in the field of public policy dispute resolution.
The Fellows were invited by the program sponsors, the
Honorable Robert M. Bell, Chief Judge of the Maryland Court
of Appeals; David J. Ramsay, President of the University of
Maryland, Baltimore; and Dean Karen H. Rothenberg.
“As a problem-solving institution, the Judiciary has an
interest in advancing collaborative leadership in Maryland,”
said the Hon. Benjamin Clyburn, a 2008 Fellow. “I thoroughly
enjoyed participating in the Fellows program and used the
opportunity to sharpen my own negotiation and collabora-
tion skills with a wonderful group of people.”

Lynne Battaglia ’74 describes it as a “conundrum” that dictatescareer choices for female lawyers: When law firms base evaluationson billable hours rather than on quality of work, women can
sometimes be at a disadvantage, says the Maryland Court of Appeals Judge.Wendy Butler Curtis ’98, a special counsel in litigation at Orrick’s
Washington office, wonders why women, who “were disproportionatelyahead in the class” at law school, later comprise just 20 percent ofpartners in law firms.
Both issues were discussed at a roundtable that Battaglia and Curtisattended in December at the Law School. The discussion was an out-growth of a career satisfaction study, undertaken by professors JanaSinger and PaulaMonopoli and sup-ported by the LawSchool’s Office of In-stitutional Advance-ment and CareerDevelopment Office.The professors surveyed UMLaw graduates going back to the Classof 1977. The ultimate aim for their work: to chart a plan of action forimproving women’s experiences in the legal profession.
Singer and Monopoli queried more than 600 alumni in their Fall2008 survey. “We were interested in alums in general, but we wantedto know if the experiences of women in the workplace were different,and if they were making different choices in their careers,” saysMonopoli, founding director of the Women, Leadership & Equality(WLE) program, which oversaw the project. The questions aimedto reveal differences in career choices, and overall satisfaction withlife and work.
The most gratifying finding, Monopoli says, “is that our graduates—both men and women—are generally happy.” But the survey showedthat there are still great disparities in career advancement among menand women, and also in their priorities. The women surveyed, for
example, were significantly more likelythan men to identify flexibility in theworkplace, and work-family balance,as important to their career satisfaction.
One outcome of the study, saysSinger, may be better guidance foremployers when it comes to retention.
This is an important issue for law firms, which incur high costs re-placing employees who leave. Toward that end, the professors sharedpreliminary findings in a workshop last April for area law firms thatare committed to better retaining and advancing female lawyers.“We [aimed] to offer suggestions about what will make lawyerswant to stay,” Singer says, such as offering opportunities for flexibleschedules, without stigmatizing that choice. Compensation is alsoan important issue, says Monopoli. “Men measure success by theamount of compensation they receive. Women are less likely to saycompensation is most important to them, but they did say they wereconcerned with being appropriately compensated. There’s a feelingout there that women don’t feel they are getting what they deserve.That to me is an important finding”—for employers, she says.
Wendy Curtis says the research “is a call to action. It captures therealities that we all experience, but it’s nice to see it in writing. Thatway, we can go back to our own workplaces and institute change.”
Monopoli and Singer will present their final report this fall.

For Bill Ferguson, a second-year law student committed to improvingpublic education, the inauguration of Barack Obama last winterseemed the perfect setting for proposing marriage to his girlfriend,
Lea Smith. After all, the two had met when they were both teaching inBaltimore as part of the Teach for America program. They’d deepenedtheir commitment to the community—and to each other—by volunteeringfor the Obama campaign, spending election day on a flatbed truck inPhiladelphia, assisting and entertaining voters.
So when Ferguson heard about an essay contest sponsored bythe Presidential Inaugural Committee, which offered “Tickets toHistory” for 10 supporters who could explain what the inauguration ofBarack Obama meant to them, he jumped at the chance to enter. “Iwrote about why we work in education, how the inauguration symbol-ized such an important shift in the United States,” Ferguson says. Healso promised to pop the question at the inauguration.
That did the trick. Three days before the big event, Ferguson learnedthat he and Smith were invited to attend the inauguration, and many ofthe surrounding VIP events. The couple’s magical moment came justafter Obama finished his inaugural address, when Ferguson droppedto one knee and made his proposal. Through tears, Smith said yes.
As spring slipped in to summer, and the couple’s August 15 weddingdate fast approached, Ferguson balanced his wedding preparationplans with his law school studies and his work as a graduate intern forBaltimore City Schools CEO Andres Alonso. In that role, which he’sheld for two years, Ferguson has worked directly with Alonso in reorgan-izing the central office as funding is decentralized.
“What we’re doing is high level policy reform,” Ferguson explains.“During my first year, the focus was on ‘fair student funding’—shiftingmoney from the central office to the schools, so that they can makedecisions about how to spend it.” In year two, he says, efforts broadenedto include restructuring—including layoffs—of the central office.
Fiancee Smith has worked just down the hall, as special assistant toAlonso’s chief of staff Tisha Edwards ’01. Ferguson says he’s been inspiredin his work because both Alonso and Edwards are lawyers. “I think Iconnect with them,” he says. “There’s a way that law school teachesyou to think, to approach things from every angle, to attack a policyfrom each stakeholder’s viewpoint.”
For Ferguson, who was also selected this spring to the prestigiousMaryland Law Review, the work with CEO Alonso wasn’t the onlything that kept him busy. Just days after returning from the Inaugura-tion, he and Smith learned of a proposed state budget cut to cityschools. “We decided to do something about trying to restore thebudget for our kids in Baltimore City and we saw our opportunityto deliver our own message of hope and our ability to contribute,”he says. The couple launched “Maryland Ed Equity,” and ultimatelyhand carried 75 letters, signed by TFA teachers, to Annapolis to presentto the Governor.
“Without my experiences with TFA, the law school, the electionof President Obama, proposing to Lea, and our experiences at the in-auguration, we would never have had the courage or insight to start‘Maryland Ed Equity,’” says Ferguson. “My take away message from allof these wonderful events is that you can’t just wait for change tohappen, you have to make change happen.”

FROM YOUR FIRST CONVERSATION withPhoebe Haddon, it’s quickly apparent whyshe is universally described as a great listenerby colleagues, friends, and family alike. Hersmile is broad and luminous, her laughteruninhibited and contagious. She leans slightlyforward across the tabletop, maintains asteady contact with her warm, dark eyes, andnods, gently encouraging you to go on. Andan interview intended to provide the Univer-sity of Maryland School of Law’s new Deanwith an opportunity to hold forth about her-self – at length and without interruption –quickly becomes a conversation in which shelistens almost as much as she speaks.
“To listen well is as powerful a means ofcommunication and influence as to talkwell,” said John Marshall. Dean Haddon’srecord of leadership and the broad respectshe enjoys throughout the legal professionbear out the words of the U.S. SupremeCourt’s first Chief Justice.
Revealingly, the people she’s most inter-ested in hearing from are those who disagreewith her.
“I’m always going to listen to what yousay. I’m not afraid to engage the thoughts of
others. They may be helpful in fixing what I’mdoing wrong,” Dean Haddon says, reflectingtwo other aspects of her personality repeatedlyidentified by those who know her best: self-confidence and respect for the views of others.
Over the last three decades, she has em-ployed these strengths to improve institutionsranging from the American Bar Association’sCouncil of Legal Education and Admission tothe Bar, to the Redevelopment Authority ofthe City of Philadelphia, to the American LawInstitute-ABA Committee on ContinuingProfessional Education.
“Dean Haddon has been recognized as anational leader for years,” says former deanof the University of North Carolina Schoolof Law Judith Wegner, who co-authoredthe Carnegie Foundation for the Advance-ment of Teaching’s 2007 landmark report,Educating Lawyers: Preparation for the Profes-sion of Law. “Maryland Law’s uniquestrengths provide a perfect opportunity forPhoebe to employ her experience and visionfor improving legal education in a way thatwill position the School even more promi-nently within the legal profession and thelegal academy.”

ProgressThe School of Law’s new dean, a
national leader in legal education,
is known for engaging the
thoughts of others, then acting
decisively to move things forward.
Colleagues cite Dean Haddon’s facility forbringing together an organization’s diverse,sometimes antagonistic constituencies, andgetting them talking. She listens, finds thecommon ground, and builds a coalition ofsupporters. Then she leads them in developingand implementing an approach that results inthe achievement of a shared goal.
“Phoebe has a personal and professionalphilosophy that you can get more thingsaccomplished with cooperation instead ofcompetition,” says I. Herman Stern ProfessorEmeritus of Law Frank McClellan, who hasbeen Haddon’s colleague on the TempleLaw faculty since 1981, and her husbandsince 1985.
“It’s an interesting approach for a lawyer toget people out of the adversarial approach andinto a cooperative one where you’re lookingfor similarities in what you believe, not differ-ences. She doesn’t see competition as thedominant model, and she’s not looking to winif it means someone else has to lose.”
But Dean Haddon’s emphasis on collabora-tion shouldn’t be confused with a lack ofmettle, say those who know her well. Herscholarly expertise includes such famouslycontentious areas as torts litigation, and thejury. And when emphasizing a strongly-heldbelief, she’ll remove her brown plastic-rimmedglasses and fix you with a look that leaves nodoubt: Dean Haddon is a leader.
“Phoebe has a philosophy that participa-tion and collaboration are key to the delibera-tive process. But what she’s really good at ismaking things happen after the deliberationsare over,” says Joanne Epps, Dean of TempleUniversity’s Beasley School of Law and afaculty colleague of Haddon’s for more than20 years. “Some people have great ideas, butcan’t go from the idea to its execution. Phoebeis committed not only to arriving at a greatidea but also ensuring that it is acted upon.”
A strategic thinker who is deeply engagedin developments in higher education and thelegal profession, Dean Haddon is in the begin-ning stages of organizing a strategic plan forthe School of Law. Characteristically, thisplanning process has begun by listening. Shehas conducted a retreat with her deans, hasbegun to meet with members of the Board ofVisitors, and – after hosting a breakfast for allLaw School faculty and staff on the morningof her first day at Maryland – is now in theprocess of holding one-on-one interviews withevery member of the faculty and law schooladministrators. And while Dean Haddon’splan for the Law School ultimately will reflectthe shared views of a wide range of con-stituents, it will no doubt be shaped by herown vision for the future of legal education.
When the Carnegie Report was publishedin 2007, its challenge to law schools to focusmore on developing students’ ethical skillsand commitment to justice was highly influen-tial and groundbreaking. Dean Haddon hadissued a similar call almost 15 years earlier.
In “Education for a Public Calling in theTwenty-First Century,” 69Washington LawReview 573 (1994) she wrote that law schools“have an opportunity to define good lawyering… as a public calling which emphasizes aprofessional obligation to promote equalityin the legal system … to clarify the valuesimportant to the practice of law in contem-plation of a more pro-active public role.”
Today, she believes more firmly than everthat lawyers’ moral obligations to advancejustice extend far beyond their responsibilitiesas client advocates and officers of the court.
“That doesn’t describe what I believe tobe the richness of lawyers’ societal obliga-tions, which can be very broadly and richlydefined, and clearly includes something morethan simply following the rules of the court,”she says.
In her article 15 years ago, Haddon citedMaryland Law as one of the few institutionsthat was addressing those issues. Today, DeanHaddon says the School is positioned to bea leader in reshaping not only legal educa-tion, but perhaps the legal profession itself.Location, prominence in clinical education,engagement in public service, and an out-standing faculty—committed to excellencein teaching and dedicated to scholarship thatsearches for solutions to real world problems—all play a part.
“Our location provides a tremendousopportunity to be part of not only a metro-politan statewide conversation, but of a na-tional and global conversation,” she says.“We can help define what justice is, andsolve problems in ways that recognize thecomplexity of today’s society. And we canbe leaders in thinking creatively about theroles of teachers and scholars, of students,and the legal profession in today’s world.”
A fourth-generation lawyer and educator,Dean Haddon says it was clear from child-hood that she would either study law orbecome an educator, but in her family, shesays, “I was the first one who did both.”Her father Wallace James Haddon, a dentist,moved the family in 1955 from Hampton,VA, to Passaic, NJ, after identifying it as acity where an African American could estab-lish a substantial professional practice.Haddon’s mother began her career as a math-ematician at the National Advisory Committeefor Aeronautics (NASA’s precursor), thenbecame a junior high school math teacherand high school guidance counselor whenthe family moved to New Jersey.
Throughout Haddon’s middle class child-hood, belief in the importance of educationwas a core value of her family. So, too, were acommitment to excellence and the determi-
nation to overcome any obstacles that mightdeter that pursuit. Dean Haddon points inparticular to her grandmother, Phoebe Bassette,as someone from whom she inherited morethan her name. Once, Bassette – notoriouslylate and frequently trying to juggle 20 thingsat once – was pulled over for speeding downthe street in her hometown of Hampton. Itwas the 1940s, and undaunted by either hisbadge or his race, she told the white policeofficer of this small southern town, “I’m sorry,but I have some place to go. If you need to talkto someone, my husband’s office is right downthe street,” and kept on going.
“I do that sometimes, too. I get so involvedin what I’m doing that the fact that theremight be some barriers or things that are inthe way don’t even occur to me as stoppingprogress,” says Haddon.
While in high school, Haddon took amonth-long trip to France with a studentgroup, engendering a lifelong love of travelthat has taken her to every continent except
Antarctica and Australia. At Smith College,she earned a degree in government, withminors in economics and African Americanstudies. The experience was so important toher, that she remained deeply involved inthe life of the College, serving on the Boardof Trustees for a decade, including a term asVice Chair.
After moving to Pittsburgh in the early1970s, Haddon applied to several nearby lawschools. One school offered her admission,as well as scholarship support through anaffirmative action program that stipulated its

participants take one fewer course than otherstudents. She still bristles at the memory.
“Though well intended, this requirementwas based on some notion that AfricanAmericans would not do as well, or meet thesame standards, as other students. My back-ground gave every indication that I would doas well, or even better than those grossstereotypical predictions suggested,” she says.
“That kind of broad, overly inclusiveassumption does not sit well with me. Peoplehave to be judged as individuals. That doesn’tmean we don’t think about how various groupshave been discriminated against and try toaddress persistent structural barriers thatcontinue to impede some groups from attain-ing equality. But you can’t build your responseto discrimination without being mindfulof the subtle influence of stereotypes.”
Dean Haddon instead enrolled atDuquesne Law School, where she received afull scholarship and went on to become editor-in-chief of the Duquesne Law Review. Aftergraduating in 1977, she served as a law clerkfor The Hon. Joseph F. Weis, Jr., UnitedStates Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit,and practiced at Wilmer Cutler & Pickeringin Washington, DC, before joining the facultyat Temple law school in 1981.
At Temple, Haddon taught courses onconstitutional law, torts, products liability,and race and ethnicity. She established herselfas a national scholar on constitutional lawand tort law, co-authoring two casebooks inthose fields, and published numerous scholarlyarticles on equal protection, jury participa-tion, academic freedom, and diversity.
“Whether it’s writing about torts or conlaw, or teaching a seminar on the jury, there’salways been a kind of civil rights edge to whatI’ve been doing; my focus has always beenshaped by a belief in equality, particularlyrespect for the rights of others,” says DeanHaddon. “I don’t fit the model of scholarswho get interested in one particular substan-
tive area of study and use the classroom andlaw journals to express their views divorcedfrom the context of the lived experiences ofpeople – I am particularly concerned aboutapproaches that take account of peoplewho are marginalized in the system.”
Haddon’s scholarship is a continuationof her family’s tradition of social activism.Her father was an active leader in theNAACP. Her aunt, Rachel B. Noel, led publicschool desegregation efforts in Denver, cul-minating in the U.S. Supreme Court’s rulingin Keyes v. Denver School District No. 1,
which made Denver the first city outsidethe south to receive instructions from theSupreme Court to address segregation.
Striving to improve access to quality edu-cation, at law schools and beyond, becameher true academic passion. Haddon quicklyattained national prominence for her efforts,earning appointment as a member of theexecutive committee of The Association ofAmerican Law Schools, a trustee of theLaw School Admissions Council, and co-President of the Society of American LawTeachers. Today she is a member of theCouncil of the American Bar AssociationSection on Legal Education and Admissionto the Bar, the official accrediting body ofAmerican law schools, and serves on a numberof committees of those other organizations.
“A real strength for Phoebe is her lead-ership in groups like the ABA and others
outside the academy. It’s given her an oppor-tunity to look at the challenges of legaleducation and the profession not just as amember of one school, or even as an academic,but from a very broad perspective,” says PaulBekman, Chair of Maryland Law’s Board ofVisitors. “At a time when law schools arefacing a scarcity of resources, and the legalprofession is rethinking ways of serving clients,she is the right person at the right time to beDean of our Law School.”
Other law schools had pursued Haddonfor deanships in the past, but she alwaysdemurred. Her experiences had made heran expert in not only legal education, butin law schools themselves. Dean Haddoncould tell when the fit just wasn’t right, orif an institution wasn’t poised for futuregrowth. From her first visit to MarylandLaw, she knew she had found a new home.
Haddon envisions a Law School that en-hances its quality by making itself more acces-sible to students from a wide range of racial,educational, and economic backgrounds. Shewants to broaden the definition of faculty ex-cellence to include a diversity of talents, fromtheoretical scholars, to outstanding classroomteachers, to policymakers, to practitionersproviding experiential learning opportunitiesconsistent with the mission and rich traditionof the law school. In so doing, she wants toattract people who share her vision of a schoolboth accessible and elite in its stature amongexcellent law schools.
“There are individuals here – faculty, staff,and students alike – who have the qualifica-tions to go anywhere. But they’ve made acommitment to Maryland because they believein what we can accomplish together. I seethat as very different from many other insti-tutions,” Haddon says. “When I hear themtalk about their reasons for choosing to be atMaryland, it’s very energizing to me. It rein-forces my belief that I made the right choicein joining them.”
“MY FOCUS HAS ALWAYS been shaped by
a belief in equality, particularly respect for the
rights of others.”

TRAFFIC IS TERRIBLE. Late for a meeting,your mind is working overtime on how toadjust your presentation. Suddenly, there’s aclearing ahead. You hit the gas—and fly rightinto a speed trap. Blue lights flash in yourrearview mirror.
On the side of the road the police officertakes your license and registration, returns tohis car, and feeds them through an opticalscanner. While you sit fuming your name isbeing checked at a remote government com-puter center that keeps track of the websitesyou visit, the books you buy online, your longdistance phone bills, and hundreds of otherpieces of both public and private information.Something in your past suggests behavior thatauthorities deem suspicious: perhaps yourname was included on a suspicious activityreport for using binoculars and taking pictures“with no apparent esthetic value” in LosAngeles, as police policy there now dictates.As you wait, two more squad cars appear,their lights flashing, and the officer—nowsounding a little nervous—says, “Please stepslowly out of your car and spread your arms.”
It may sound like a futuristic dystopiannightmare, but the possibility of this kind ofscenario is closer to reality than many peopleimagine. Government run or sponsored dataclearing houses are now active in nearly everystate. Known as fusion centers, they are fundedby the federal government as part of thenational response to the 9-11 terrorist attacks.Originally envisioned as a means of sharinganti-terrorism intelligence among federal,state, and local law enforcement agencies,fusion centers are generally unknown to the

centers’ activities. The possible misuse of suchextensive new information collection andanalysis capabilities first drew attention inDecember 2007, when the American CivilLiberties Union published a white paper titled“What’s Wrong with Fusion Centers?” Thereport identified several areas of generalconcern, citing ambiguous lines of authority;participation by both private sector subcon-tractors and military personnel; the likelihoodof “data mining” in which centers go lookingfor suspicious individuals without probablecause; and the aura of excessive secrecy thatsurrounds the centers. It went on to suggest anumber of legal and political safeguards thatcould prevent misuse of the centers’ unprece-dented information gathering ability, drylyobserving that the best solution might be toabandon the concept entirely, and “return totraditional law enforcement techniques basedupon reasonable suspicion that have keptAmerica safe and free for over 230 years.”
Many observers—including report co-author and ACLU policy counsel MichaelGerman—believe there is no turning back.“The horse is out of the barn,” he said at theRoundtable. “Fusion centers are not goingaway. So what do they do? Are they beingused to collect information on lawful dis-sent? Are these places where informationon innocent activity is collected and shared?We are very concerned that because there areambiguous lines of authority there is nopolicing mechanism in place to prevent abuse.”
Throughout the day’s discussion partici-pants repeatedly expressed frustration at howlittle public information is available about fu-sion centers, even after six years. There was asense among the legal scholars and privacy ex-perts that they were steering without a com-pass into uncharted territory. Consequently,the Roundtable at times seemed not so muchpolicy debate as reconnaissance mission, witheveryone putting their heads together trying tounderstand what’s out there. It seemed a fittingventure for Danielle Citron, a self-described“cyber law geek” who has gained a national fol-lowing writing about automated systems likee-voting machines, cyber security, and cyberharassment in scholarly journals and the onlineforum Concurring Opinions [see essay on p.
XX]. The Roundtable, she says, was thenatural extension of her interests: “All of mywork is part of a broader story about howinformation about us can be used and mis-used.” She considers a moment and adds,“I’m a privacy person, obviously.”
Citron says her involvement in the cutting-edge field of cyber privacy rights “was prettyserendipitous,” evolving from her first lawarticle, published in 2006 in theUC DavisLaw Review, concerning the relatively newtechnology of Voice Over Internet Protocoland its likely effect on personal jurisdictiontheory. That investigation led her to contem-plate the legal ramifications of other novelelectronic technologies. The following yearthe Southern California Law Review publishedher article “Reservoirs of Danger: The Evolu-tion of Public and Private Law at the Dawn ofthe Information Age,” in which Citron drewan intriguing legal analogy between the collec-tion of personal information in large unregu-lated databases and the early industrial agecreations of large reservoirs of water to powermills. The water was harmless in repose butcould wreak havoc if the dams gave way—though it took many years and severaltragedies before the law evolved to protectthose downstream. By the same token, in thecyber world any one of us could be livingdownstream of a data dam without under-

public. Even legal scholars are unsure how theyfit within the country’s legal framework. Andno one seems to be quite sure what they do.
“There is this concept that computers cancreate a personal profile of individuals that willpredict if they are a potential security risk, butthe reliability of these models is unknown,”says Professor of Law Danielle Citron of themethods employed by fusion centers to siftthrough vast quantities of seemingly innocuous—but often private—data to try to identifypotential terrorists. “We are talking about itbut it is not yet in the public eye.” In order toadvance the discussion and further explorelegal issues surrounding government collectionand analysis of information about privatecitizens, Citron helped organize one of thenation’s first gatherings of legal scholars andprivacy experts focusing on fusion centers. TheTechnology and Privacy Roundtable, whichwas hosted by the School of Law during thespring 2009 semester, brought together twodozen experts from across the country for aday of discussion and debate.
From the start it became apparent that itis what is not known about fusion centers thatraises the greatest legal and privacy concerns.“People say, ‘Oh, you worry too much.’ I thinknow is the time to be considering these issues,”
said Roundtable co-leader Frank Pasquale, avisiting professor of law at Yale, and the LoftusProfessor of Law at Seton Hall University, atthe session opening.
But identifying the issues means knowingwhat, exactly, fusion centers are doing. Beyondbland generalities most centers refuse to say.And the task is made all the more difficult bythe fact that no two fusion centers are quitealike. The Department of Homeland Securityreports that as of February 2009 there were 58fusion centers around the country. To date, theDepartment has provided more than $380million to state and local governments to buildand equip the centers, but does not directlyoperate or control them. For the most part,fusion centers evolved locally on an ad hocbasis beginning around 2003. Each fusioncenter is run by a unique set of state andregional partners and, beyond having a generalmandate of information and intelligencesharing, they often have widely differingapproaches to what information they collect,and with whom and for what reasons theyshare it.
Fusion centers use powerful computers andsophisticated programming techniques toscan huge quantities of data, looking foranomalies that may indicate terrorist threats.But in addition to public records such ascourt appearances and tax records, the centerscan “fuse” private information such as phonebills and credit reports and even secret infor-mation provided by other government agen-cies. This is what happened when Baltimorepeace activists and antiwar demonstratorsfound themselves on federal terrorist watchlists after the Maryland State Police infiltratedtheir organizations and compiled extensivedossiers on the protestors in 2005 and 2006.The Baltimore Sun reported in 2008 that theundercover state police reports failed to iden-tify any criminal or even potentially criminalacts on the part of the protestors, yet nonethe-less entered their names on a database ofpotential terrorists or drug traffickers. “If youget put on a watch list that means airlines candeny your ability to fly. You can potentiallylose your employment if you are deemed asecurity risk, or perhaps be unable to get ajob, depending on who gets to see these lists,”notes Citron. “You’re talking about realconcrete harm.”
Both the theory and technologies thatundergird the fusion systems are new—and,say many experts, unproven—and little legalframework exists to regulate or direct the

don’t need to go look, they already have theinformation. From the patterns on Amazonthey know your reading habits. So it becomescrucial that they can’t use that information.”
But that may require entirely differentlegislation than the current regulatory struc-ture concerning individual privacy andelectronic data. Congress passed the PrivacyAct of 1974 after numerous hearings and anumber of reports on such topics as nationaldata banks, commercial credit bureaus, andthe effect of computers on personal privacy. Inmany ways it is a bill very much of its time,reflecting an era before the Internet, when onlythe government could have the kind of massiveconcentration of computers needed to keepand search enormous databases of privateinformation. When signed into law the billestablished a code of fair information practicesgoverning the collection, use, and dissemina-tion of personal information maintained insystems by federal agencies. Information aboutan individual could not be disclosed fromthese systems without that person’s writtenconsent, or by specific statutory exception; andindividuals were enabled to access and amendtheir records in the case of faulty information.
In theory, at least, the Privacy Act protectscitizens from an intrusive, all-seeing govern-ment sticking its proverbial nose in people’sprivate business. But what the Act does notdo—and the reason it offers little in the way ofprotection today—is in any way regulate orcontrol private interests from intrusivelycollecting, analyzing, and selling data aboutindividuals.
Since most fusion centers involve at leastsome participation from commercial data
brokers, there is, practically speaking, no limitand no quality control on the kinds of infor-mation that might be sifted in search ofunusual patterns that indicate a threat. Anindividual whose purchases, opinions, Internetuse, political donations, or general activities aredeemed potentially subversive—by whom orby what standards to be determined by fusioncenter operators and not shared publicly—could be flagged for questioning, monitoring,or observation. Since private databases areoften error-prone and not subject to consumercontrol or review, Citron’s “garbage in/garbageout” dictum means the system would generatea relatively high number of “false positives”—flagging innocent individuals for furtherscrutiny or surveillance based on faulty infor-mation. The ACLU report points out thateven if fusion centers obtain the unrealisticallyhigh accuracy rate of 99 percent, in the U.S.population of 300 million citizens with ahypothetical 1,000 terrorists at large, 990of the terrorists will be “caught”—as will 3million innocent Americans. “We have decidedwe want to live with more false positives thannegatives,” says Citron. “This approach relieson crude algorithms which mean that, for alarge number of people, you’re going to bepulled aside.”
If, as most Roundtable panelists agreed,“the horse is out of the barn” for fusioncenters, then the need for effective legal over-sight and vigilant public scrutiny is com-pelling. The Roman poet Juvenal once asked,“Who will guard the guardians?” Ultimately,the experts concluded, there will need tobe some kind of online presence “watchingthe watchers.”

standing the risk. “The reservoir metaphorsuggests we underestimate the dangers in-herent in damming up and collecting data,”Citron says, reflecting her article’s centralpremise that new economic eras bring aboutnew concepts of personal harm.
If large uncontrolled databases pose risks—as recurring stories of identity theft and widescale security breaches would seem to indi-cate—then the danger becomes even moreacute, says Citron, when the scope of infor-mation collected is hidden behind veils ofnational security. “What we are seeing withfusion centers is mission creep. They startedout as anti-terrorism tools, but now we areseeing their mission changed to the protectionof all infrastructure from all risk. The dangeris that they are combining unproved theoriesof data mining with use of private databasesthat may or may not be accurate. If thedata used is incorrect then the results are goingto reflect that. It’s the old story of garbage in,garbage out.”
But the centers are not without theirdefenders. According to Sean Kates ’07, a lawand policy analyst in the Law School’s Centerfor Health and Homeland Security, firstresponders such as police, fire fighters, andother emergency personnel are especiallylikely to see benefits in the centers. “Whatfalls apart first in a large scale emergency iscommunications,” he says. “First responders
look upon fusion centers as a positive becausethey provide a reliable central source of goodinformation. “I have had police officers verifyto me that fusion centers have been helpful tothem in looking across county lines, and acrossdiffering criminal records systems, to aid ininvestigations. From that perspective it’s agood concept,” says Kates.
Robert Riegle, who directs the state andlocal program office of the Office of Intelli-gence and Analysis, pointed to two recentsuccess stories involving law enforcement, intestimony last April before a subcommittee ofthe Committee on Homeland Security. Inone, a DHS operational specialist coordinatedwith federal officials on an Amber Alert for a3-year-old girl being taken out of the countryby a suspect wanted for rape and murder.Using information and contacts gatheredthrough a California fusion center, he was ableto track the youngster to a flight bound for theNetherlands; she was ultimately recoveredunharmed. In the second case, the Denverfire and police departments worked with aColorado fusion center to track and apprehenda suspect wanted for seven different fire-bombings of SUVs.
Skeptics note, however, that a good conceptdoes not always translate into good practice.In order to truly understand the dangers posedby fusion centers that operate with virtually nopublic awareness or oversight, we must firstinvent new ways of describing our rights, saysProfessor of Law and Government MarkGraber. “The great danger is that very often wethink of constitutional rights purely in tradi-tional paradigms that don’t reflect currentreality. For example, we think that freedom ofspeech means an individual can stand on thecorner and denounce the government withoutfear of interference. But today free speechoften involves someone on the Internet. Howdo we ensure free speech is not inhibited inthis environment?” Fusion centers, he says,pose a special challenge in this new world. “Inthe old days the concept of privacy meant thatthere was information that the governmentcouldn’t learn about you without going tocourt to obtain a warrant. And then they hadto go look. In the past if a government officialasked me, ‘What have you been reading?’ Iwould say, ‘None of your business.’ Now they

Meltdownof aAnatomy

Figuring out what led to today’s economic mess
could hold the best clues for moving forward—and
averting the world’s next financial crisis.
SOME CALL IT A BLACK HOLE. OTHERS USE THE MORE SINISTER METAPHOR of “a darkmarket.” Robert Rhee, an associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Lawwho teaches corporate finance and corporate ethics says flatly “so much of the financialuniverse out there is unknown territory.”
His law school colleague, Prof. Michael Greenberger, the former federal regulator andnow oft-quoted explainer of the economic meltdown for NPR and 60 Minutes, speaksof “a shadow market.” This is a market, he says, that is understood by few, includingtop Wall Street insiders. Many of them, he says, had such little appreciation for the detailsof their risky practices that they not only caused unprecedented losses in the national andworld economies, but wiped out tens of millions—in some cases hundreds of millions—ofdollars from their own personal wealth.
“It’s crystal clear,” says Greenberger, “that except for some of the people doing thetrading, at the highest levels the CEOs, the top officers absolutely did not understand whatwas happening.”
JD 200927JD 2009 26
financial firms [that] presented challenges to our government’s stabilityof our financial system.” In response, the Obama administrationintroduced a proposal to reform the regulation of financial marketswith five key objectives: to promote robust supervision and regulationof financial firms; establish comprehensive supervision and regulationof financial markets; protect consumers and investors from financialabuse; improve tools for managing financial crises; and raise inter-national regulatory standards and improve international cooperation.
Since President Obama’s plan was proposed in June, many expertswho have analyzed the crisis point to regulation as the solution, financialindustry expert Christine Edwards ’83 cautions that simply creatingmore regulations won’t help.
“As a country we tend to legislate for the last problem and notfor the next,” says Edwards, whose practice as a partner in theChicago firm of Winston and Strawn focuses on regulatory policyissues in the securities and banking industries. “Trying to look forwardto determine what is the next meltdown ready to happen is muchmore difficult.”
The question of too much or too little regulation, she notes, or thetype of legislation needed right now is less pressing than asking whetheror not the right regulatory structure is in place to clearly inform andmonitor key financial industry players and consumers. She points to acurrent “patchwork quilt” of regulations that duplicates efforts betweenfederal, state, and local agencies.
Perhaps the gaudiest patch on that quilt—and one that most finan-cial experts now point to as an immediate cause of the current economicchaos—was the passage in December 2000 of The Commodity FuturesModernization Act. A bill introduced by former Republican Sen. PhilGramm, then chair of the Senate Banking Committee, it was embracedby both sides of the aisle, passed by wide margins and was signed intolaw just before Christmas by President Bill Clinton.
In effect it deregulated the trading of derivatives and default swapsby telling the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and theCommodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that they hadno authority at all over them.
“Nobody’s complaining that stock trading put us in this meltdown,or that regulated futures trading put us here,” says Greenberger, whoserved on the CFTC from 1997 to 1999. “It’s this dark-marketderivative product, these private, bilateral transactions. Over the
counter derivatives are today an $800 trillion notional value market.We [the CFTC] thought when it was $27 trillion it ought to beregulated. We lost that battle.”
Derivatives are not new. Rhee says that derivatives have a Jekyll-Hydeduality. They can be used to hedge (mitigate) risk, but they can also beused to magnify risk-taking. As opposed to an investment in acommodity itself, a derivative is a bet on the future price of someother asset or index, such as stock or interest rates. The plainest instru-ments are futures and options. While investing in the standard com-modity future remains regulated, newer non-traditional forms such ascredit default swaps are private transactions that are legally traded“off the books” and subject to no official scrutiny.
That the risk-hedging derivative suddenly became an economybusting risk of its own derives from its use as a hedge against thefailure of investments in sub-prime mortgage securities. Accordingto Greenberger there is more investment money today tied up inderivatives than in stocks and bonds. Given that the supposed fail-safe factor of sub-prime mortgages—housing prices will never fall—actually failed, and given that no one was monitoring the dominoeffect of thousands of sub-prime mortgage foreclosures on otheraspects of the economy, the risks taken seem now in hindsight tobe so obviously reckless.
“There has to be a relationship between risk and return,” notes Rhee,a former New York and London investment banker with a WhartonMBA. “But proper risk taking is where Wall Street fell down.”
Rhee, who served as vice president in the investment banking armof Swiss Re in New York, as well as an investment banker with UBSWarburg and Deutchebanc Alex. Brown, an investment banker at UBSWarburg in London and a real estate investment banker at DeutchebancAlex Brown in Baltimore, believes unwise risk taking was a productof a subtle change in the way Wall Street firms have organized them-selves in the last several decades.
“A while ago,” he says, “Wall Street was made up of private companiesthat had their own capital. And it used to be you were using the firm'scapital so it was preserved in a way that made sense. People had a greaterinterest in their stock in the company. The thought was ‘I can’t blow upmy own firm because a large part of my wealth is tied up in it.’”
But, he notes, many of those firms began going public or weremerged with larger commercial banks with large balance sheets.
Exactly what was happening?As policy makers in Washington sift through the debris of
derailed derivatives and default swaps for answers to that question,Maryland School of Law faculty such as Greenberger and Rheesee a common cause for the meltdown.
“The biggest legal aspect to what’s happening now is thelack of regulation and the ineffectiveness of regulations,” says
Rhee. “Aside from that, the larger causal mechanisms of thiscrisis remain outside of the law.”
Of course, most mechanisms require lubrication forthem to work. In this case, according to a Maryland Lawgraduate who is now a prominent consultant to the finan-cial industry in regulatory and governance services, thegears of this crisis were greased by bad judgment at thehighest levels of government.
“The rampage in derivatives was an outgrowth ofthe Fed’s ‘easy money’ policies,” says Ellyn Brown’80, a current member of the board of directors of
NYSE-Euronext, Inc., the publicly traded entity thatowns and operates the New York Stock Exchange and the pan-Euro-pean stock exchange.
She speaks of “the federal legislative and executive branches’ ill-thought-out and mostly-uncoordinated promotion of home ownershipas an absolute good,” as further fuel to the meltdown. That, and whatshe sees as Congressional resistance to adequate oversight of Fannie Maeand Freddie Mac.
Brown, the Securities Commissioner for the State of Maryland from1987 to 1992, cites economist Robert Samuelson who “gives perhapsthe most organic explanation of the genesis of today’s crisis: ‘Takingfinancial stability for granted, money managers, bankers, traders,government officials and ordinary investors did things that destroyedfinancial stability.”
Once the derivatives market took off, adds Brown, “extending tothe over-the-counter market so that small town pension funds foundthemselves—perhaps unknowingly—in the market, derivatives thenbecame a major part of the problem and contributed enormously tothe market’s plunge.”
President Barack Obama said that the financial crisis has been aresult of “gaps and weaknesses in the supervision and regulation of
“There has to be arelationship betweenrisk and return. Butproper risk taking
is where Wall Streetfell down.”

Derivatives …Ripped from the Headlines
WHEN PROFESSOR MICHAEL GREENBERGER first offered his
course on “Futures, Options, and Derivatives” two years ago,
just 20 students applied for 25 spaces and the course was only
offered in the spring. Flash forward to 2009: 101 students en-
rolled and the class was offered both semesters.
That number includes Max Romanik, who said the class was
especially gratifying because the subject matter is ripped from
headlines. “It’s a great experience when the professor can walk
in with a statute that came off the presses that day. You don’t
have to study bizarre hypotheticals. The real world is happening
all around you right now,” he noted.
The ongoing global financial crisis has clearly spurred an in-
crease in student demand for law courses on derivatives, the
complex instruments that crippled credit markets and wreaked
havoc on bank balance sheets. Students are “hungry to decipher
how derivatives contributed to the crisis and excited about the
prospect of being involved in the regulatory overhaul that could
lead to a new phase in the history of global finance,” according
to a May 7 news article by Reuters, which profiled Greenberger’s
course at the School of Law.
Echoing the sentiment of many of her classmates, Meaghan
McCann told Reuters, “I wanted to understand how it happened
and what it will mean for our future ... and what we can do to
make sure it doesn't happen again.”
“Now it’s shareholder’s capital you’re using,” says Rhee. “The capitalyou can invest is whatever the executive committee or management willallow you to use in terms of your own trading activities. The risk-to-return relationship got skewed heavily. It encouraged excessive risktaking. That explains AIG [American International Group] It was as ifpeople were saying, ‘What we’re doing now is just printing money. Themore policies we write the more we sell this type of stuff. My year endbonus will be X million.’ Under those circumstance, people inside thatgroup were probably getting caught up in this.”
It was, he says, a classic house of cards and the incentives wereperverse; even substantially employee-owned firms like Bears Stearnswere not immune to the new psychology of risk-taking.
“We were in a bubble. The bubble psychology is that you don’t thinkyou're the person without the seat when the music stops. It’s alwaysgoing to be someone else. I can’t imagine that these bank executiveswere immune from that type of psychology.
“Don’t forget some of these bank executives had hundreds of millionsinvested in their own firms, so if it blew up, it blew up their entire networth. It leads me to think they knowingly engaged in excessiverisk taking without knowing how excessive their risk taking reallywas. They did not think the risks would be magnified down every chainof every transaction.”
How could supposedly savvy financiers so delude themselves?Greenberger says it was shockingly simple.
The sub-prime mortgage loans that were bundled together andsold as securities and collateralized debt obligations were, like mostloans, classified as senior, mezzanine and junior debt. As such theyreceived credit ratings from organizations such as Moody’s andStandard and Poor’s.
“They get Triple A ratings for the most secure senior debt,” saysGreenberger, “but that’s senior debt of sub-prime mortgages, given topeople who can’t afford to pay back. But many of the ‘brilliant minds’are believing they’ve got Triple A and Double A paper and they believethese are conservative, solid investments and they sell them as that.
People who buy them think they are conservative, solid investments,not understanding it was a Triple A rating of junk.”
The frosting on this devil’s food cake was the credit default swaps.Those who granted the sub-prime mortgages, and those who bought
them, took out what was essentially an insurance policy—so that if themortgage holder defaulted, the insurance paid back their investment.Though these policies were issued by insurance companies, they werenot called insurance because then they would fall under state and federalinsurance regulations. Labeled credit default swaps, they helped movethe delusion from the mortgagers to the insurers.
“They thought, ‘We’re getting premiums for this insurance for whichwe will never have to pay anything because there are no risks,’” saysGreenberger. “It wasn’t just AIG. Everyone was issuing insurance, callingit swaps and not setting aside reserves and it blew a multi-trillion hole inthe economy. They never thought housing prices would go down. Whenhousing prices went down the insurance got triggered. But unlike regu-lated insurance, they never had to set aside reserves to pay those policies.And you're talking about a minimum of $25 billion in insurance.”
The insurance became the ultimate factor in self-delusion, says Rhee.“I think the insurance fed into the psychology and affected executiveopinions as to how much risk they’d exposed themselves to.”
He says a former colleague on Wall Street who specializes in bondinsurance, told him recently, ‘We didn’t know X would lead to Ywould lead to Z would lead to a would lead to B. We knew X was aproblem. Or Y was a problem. But we didn’t connect all the dots.’”
Wall Street traders understood the individual problems, says Rhee,“but there was no one sitting at the top saying ‘Okay, I see the trail oftransactions and if something happens the trail of transactions will fallin a domino pattern like this.’”
In the meantime, a unified strategy for resolving the problem hasremained elusive. Many want to concentrate on and punish villains.Banks decry talk of new, day-to-day regulatory monitoring and insistWall Street be trusted to voluntarily clean up its mess. Reformers wanttough new legislation enacting more restrictive regulations. Greenberger
is concerned that President Barack Obama’s economic advisors are tooclose to Wall Street and are taking half-steps toward re-regulation.
“They want a private clearing house,” he notes. “I say that’s notenough. You have to have public exchange trading for these derivatives soyou have transparency. Not only to The Fed but to the public as a whole.It gives you an added set of regulatory tools that are being overlooked.”
One proposal would create a systemic risk regulator—someonewhose job would be literally to oversee these myriad off-the-bookstrades and find potential danger points or dominoes about to fall.
“The concept is totally appropriate given the level of sophisticationof institutional products,” says Edwards. “What happened in the systemthat caused meltdown was the piling on of risk from several differentsegments of the market simultaneously that were not looked at as acumulative matter. They acted as accelerants rather than as what theywere designed to do.”
Brown agrees that the general idea of regulating for systemic riskseems unavoidable “now that we’ve actually come face-to-face with therealities of our interlocked financial system.” However, she says, “Weneed to think not only about counterparty risk and all of the relation-ships that made Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and Merrill Lynchso vulnerable, but also to the nature of global systemic risk, acrossinstitutions and markets worldwide.”
The entire issue of risk regulation, she says “is perilous territory—thedanger being that over-regulation will impede the innovation necessaryto grow our economy. By definition, she says, innovation of any sortrequires risk.
“It is one thing for government regulators to be concerned about,and move to regulate outrageous leverage ratios,” says Brown. “It isquite another thing to ask a regulator to assess the risk inherent in anew financial product or service. Having been a regulator myself Iknow very well that regulation is a defensive art form. Regulatorsaren’t out there in the market thinking up new products and services.The regulators’ mission is to prevent problems. Thus, the regulators’inclination is to say ‘no’ rather than risk being wrong by embracinganything new and different.”

THE INTERNET IS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD. While it can facilitatethe empowerment of people who often face discrimination, it canalso be exploited to disenfranchise them. Anonymous mobs employcollaborative technologies to terrorize and silence women, peopleof color, and other minorities, effectively denying them the right toparticipate in online life as equals.
Consider the case of Bonnie Jouhari, a civil rights advocate andmother of a biracial girl, who was targeted by a white supremacistwebsite. The site posted her child’s picture and Ms. Jouhari’s homeaddress and showed an animated picture of Ms. Jouhari’s workplaceexploding in flames next to the threat that “race traitors” are “hungfrom the neck from the nearest tree or lamp post.” After Ms. Jouhariand her daughter began receiving harassing phone calls at home andwork, she left her job and moved. Today, neither she nor her daughtermaintains a driver’s license, voter registration card, or bank accountbecause they fear creating a public record of their whereabouts.
Another example: Kathy Sierra, a programmer and game developer,who maintained a popular blog on software development called “Creat-ing Passionate Users.” In 2007, anonymous individuals attacked Ms.Sierra on her blog and two other websites. Posters threatened rape andstrangulation. They revealed her home address and Social Securitynumber. Doctored photographs featured her with a noose beside herneck; another depicted her screaming while being suffocated by lingerie.After the attack, Ms. Sierra canceled speaking engagements and fearedleaving her yard. In April 2009, she explained that her “blog [once] was intheTechnorati Top 100. I have not blogged there—or anywhere—since.”
Many view these attacks as isolated instances of cyber bullying. Butanonymous mobsaccomplish some-thing far more sys-tematic than that.Rather than attackinga random mix of in-dividuals, cybermobs disproportionately target women. The non-profit organizationWorking to Halt Online Abuse explains that, from 2000 to 2007, 72.5percent of the individuals reporting cyber harassment identified them-selves as women and 22 percent identified themselves as men. Halfof those individuals had no relationship with their attackers. Similarly,the National Center for Victims of Crimes’ Stalking Resource Centerreports that approximately 60 percent of online harassment cases involvemale attackers and female targets. Cyber mobs often target lesbianand/or non-white women with particular virulence. They also focus onmen of color, religious minorities, and gay men.
When online mobs attack individuals because of their race, gender, orother protected characteristic, they damage individuals, their groups, andsociety in unique ways. To be sure, traditional criminal and tort law canreach some of their injuries. Criminal law punishes online harassmentand threats. For instance, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)punishes anyone using a telecommunications device without disclosinghis identity and with the intent to “abuse, threaten, or harass any personwho receives the communication.” Tort law would provide redress for acyber harasser’s actions. Individuals can bring defamation suits if onlinelies ruin their reputations. They can seek money damages for emotionaldistress that a defendant intentionally or recklessly causes. They can bringprivacy claims against defendants who publicly disclosed private factsthat would be “highly offensive to the reasonable person.”
These traditional remedies are important—but they have a limitedrole. Defamation law, for instance, remedies a plaintiff ’s reputational harmcaused by online lies, but does not address the stigma and economicinjuries that individuals experience. Nor does it redress the harm thattargeted groups and society suffer in the wake of bias-motivated conduct.
Civil rights laws are designed to respond to such harm. Antidis-crimination laws guarantee the right to be free of unequal treatmenton the basis of race, gender, or other protected characteristics. Civilrights remedies would combat a cyber mob’s interference with indi-viduals’ right to work and participate in discourse online as equals.
Existing civil rights laws provide tools to combat anonymous onlinemobs. The Civil Rights Act of 1968, for instance, punishes “force orthreat[s] of force” designed to intimidate or interfere with a person’sprivate employment due to that person’s race, religion, or national
origin. Courts have sustained convictionsof defendants who made death threatsover employees’ e-mail and voicemail.
Current law should be amended tocriminalize online threats made becauseof a victim’s gender or sexual orientation.Congress could amend VAWA pursuant
to its power to regulate an instrumentality of interstate commerce—theInternet—to punish anonymous cyber mobs that threaten individualsbecause of their gender or sexual orientation. The Department of Justicewould presumably support such a development as it currently encouragesfederal prosecutors to seek hate crime penalty enhancements fordefendants who subject victims to cyber harassment because of theirrace, color, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.
Civil rights laws also sanction private lawsuits against cyber mobsfor their discriminatory actions. Courts have allowed plaintiffs tobring claims under section 1981 of Title racial minorities from “making
a living” in their chosen field. And targeted individuals can sue attackersunder Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for preventing themfrom making a living because of their sex.
Many will, of course, oppose a cyber civil rights agenda on thegrounds that it would interfere with our commitment to free speech.A cyber civil rights agenda, however, comports with First Amendmentdoctrine and free speech values. The First Amendment does not prohibitstates from using criminal and civil law to forbid threats. Threats ofviolence made via new technologies are not immunized from penaltyon free speech grounds.
Not only does a cyber civil rights agenda comport with FirstAmendment doctrine, it is consistent with prominent free speechtheories that emphasize the importance of autonomy, cultural innova-tion, and the promotion of truth. Restraining cyber gender harassmentis essential to defending the expressive autonomy of its victims.Although harassers express themselves through their assaults, theiractions directly implicate their targets’ self-determination and abilityto participate in political and social discourse. Self-expressionshould receive little protection if its sole purpose is to extinguishthe self-expression of another.
Some may insist upon protecting cyber gender harassment fromregulation to promote truth. Cyber gender harassment, however, haslittle to do with an exploration of truths. Rape and death threatstell us nothing about the victims—no truths are contested there.This is equally true of denial-of-service attacks and Social Securitynumbers. Even where online harassers make factual assertions, theanonymity of online communications prevents the marketplace ofideas from performing its curative function.
In short, cyber mobs inflict serious injuries that law must address.Combating their cyber assaults requires a comprehensive approach,one that includes traditional criminal prosecutions, tort remedies,and civil rights actions. Together, traditional remedies and antidis-crimination laws have great potential to deter, punish, and remedythe abuse of online mobs. We can harness law’s coercive power toreverse the backward-looking trend without sacrificing our com-mitment to free speech.Professor Danielle Citron’s scholarly interests include information privacy
law, cyberspace law, and administrative law, with an emphasis on legalissues surrounding the government’s reliance on information technologies.Before teaching, Professor Citron worked as a litigation associate atWillkie, Farr & Gallagher. She served as a law clerk for two years for theHonorable Mary Johnson Lowe of the U.S. District Court for the SouthernDistrict of New York.

Civil Rightsin the Cyber World
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS OF 2008 HAS PERMANENTLY changed WallStreet. Conventional wisdom says that Wall Street—the “bad guy” inthe simple narrative—enabled the crisis by providing the financialtechnology, primarily securitization and derivatives, that brought theglobal financial system to its knees. I don’t disagree, except to suggestthat there is nothing intrinsically wrong with these financial instru-ments. But I take a slightly different perspective on the relationshipbetween Wall Street and the crisis. With the caveat that in hindsightwe are all an Einstein or a Buffett, I posit that one of the root causesof the crisis (and there are many) is the way Wall Street organized itselfduring the 1990s and beyond.
During this period, Wall Street was consolidating at an aggressivepace. The consumption of firms was startling. Consider these venerablenames from the not so distant past: Alex. Brown, Bankers Trust, SGWarburg, Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette, Montgomery Securities,First Boston, JP Morgan, Salomon Brothers, Smith Barney, PaineWebber, just to name a few. Many of these firms were consumed bycommercial banks, which had enormous balance sheets but lackedthe intellectual capital and operational scale to break into the top-tierof investment banking. These banks included Deutche Bank, UBS,Credit Suisse, Swiss Bank, Barclays, Bank of America, Chase Manhattan,and the predecessors of Citigroup. These firms brought an enormousamount of new capital to the activity of investment banking.
Like most financial executives I accepted the idea that global financerequired intense concentration of capital and a global network ofintellectual capital and cross-selling capabilities within a single firmstructure. I was wrong. And so too were the titans of Wall Street whoengineered this mega-catastrophe. The consolidation combined stablecommercial banking with volatile investment banking. The invest-ment banking business now had far more capital. During this time aswell, vast pools of private capital, private equity and hedge funds, alsocame into prominence and were searching for returns. With the con-vergence of these factors, Wall Street was primed to take larger risks.
In hindsight as I try to make sense of what is happening now, mymoment of insight should have been a valuation study I performedfor a large financial institution. The question concerned the value of alarge fixed income trading operation. There were no comparable publiccompanies, and so no easy answer to the question. The work requiredan implied sum-of-the-parts analysis of bulge bracket (full service)investment banks. The study’s essential conclusion was that propri-etary trading operations, the type of activity that is at the epicenter of
this crisis, are and should be lowly valued. Even then, this made intuitivesense: Such activity requires large amounts of capital and are highlyrisky, thus necessarily resulting in low valuations.
When investment banks were independent, capital was preciousand judiciously applied. True, Wall Street is littered with firms thatself-destructed as a result of poor risk management. But notableaccidents and malfeasances aside, the risks of proprietary tradingwere contained by an appreciation of risks that could blow out one’scapital. This fear instilled discipline. In the past, Wall Street hadfocused on high value, high return activities—some of which such asmergers and acquisitions advisory require little capital.
The balance radically changed when Wall Street consolidated inthe 1990s. Firms were getting larger, fueled by an occasional shot ofanti-regulatory steroids. A landmark event was the conversion ofGoldman Sachs from a partnership to a public company. The logic is
apparent: bigger meant more capital; more capital required greaterreturns; greater returns are achieved only with greater risk. There areonly so many highly profitable, lower risk opportunities to goaround. Where would the returns come from? The banks had to takebigger risks, and this meant that the focus would turn to trading—that lowly valued, highly risky business, which was “juiced up” withhigh leverage to yield greater profits. Just as there was a global creditbubble that fueled the housing bubble, there was a glut of capital onWall Street, with commercial banks, investment banks and privatecapital all searching for returns. The resulting financial pressurestransformed Wall Street from a value-added, intermediation serviceprovider to an enormous hedge fund.
The organizational changes on Wall Street left it highly vulnerableto a seismic shift in market volatility, just the way a decade beforeLong-Term Capital Management was vulnerable to the abnormaldisturbance in the fixed income market triggered by the Russian debtdefault crisis. This time around, in the wake of the housing crash andcredit illiquidity, it is no surprise that the first casualties were theindependent investment banks that did not have the capital to with-stand a catastrophic shock: Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and LehmanBrothers. These firms did not have the balance sheets to survive afinancial shock, or at least to delay an ultimate demise. I would neverhave thought that in one fell swoop, these firms would go the way ofthe dinosaur. Nor could we have foreseen that Goldman Sachs andMorgan Stanley, the two surviving patricians of American investmentbanking, would be forced to convert to banking holding companies.
So what is thefuture of invest-ment banking?Any answer isspeculative. Weknow that finan-cial institutionscannot be allowed to take the type of risks they took. In hindsight, itwas a continuing game of Russian roulette and ultimately the oddscaught up. We do not know whether universal banks will voluntarilydivest their investment banking operations. My guess: probably not.Investment banking is an alluring activity, and there may still be anappeal of cross-selling financial products under a one-firm umbrella.In any event, it seems that the genie is out of the bottle. Investment
banking is no longer the prime domain of American firms, and thefinancial market is truly globalized. We can only better regulate therisk-taking activities.
My hope is that, from the ashes of the 1990s and the financialcrisis of 2008 Wall Street, will come a different business model.Market forces have brought down an industry of titanic scale, andWall Street is certainly far smaller now than it was just a year ago.There is no longer a glut of capital in search of returns (indeed we havethe opposite problem in that capital is seeking shelter from risk). Inlife as in fashion, what was once old is sometimes the “new” new. Apossible future of investment banking may be a return to the oldmodel of focusing on intermediation services, high profitabilityproducts, measured risk taking, and a renewed appreciation that
capital is the lifeblood of a firm and itcannot be so easily staked. In any event,the crisis does not mark the death of WallStreet, or capitalism for that matter, butonly its transformation into a new form.

Reflections on the
Financial Crisisand Investment Banking
When Roger Wolf lived in Tunisia in the 1960s, he playedbasketball on a team in the hillside village of Le Kef, travelingwith team members to nearby towns for games. A Peace
Corps volunteer working on a public housing construction project atthe time, Wolf recalls that the lessons on the basketball court were asvaluable as his work assignment. As he got to know his fellow team-mates and others in the community, he says, their differences—he wasa Jewish American, a recent Harvard graduate living in an Arab country—didn’t seem to matter. “They knew me as a person foremost, and wewere able to talk about issues in a way that wasn’t hostile.”
Whether Wolf arrived in Tunisia with an empathetic ear, or honedhis listening skills while he was there, may be a kind of chicken-and-egg puzzle, but his ability to hear—and understand—bothsides of an issue defines his approach to the law, and his popularityas a teacher.
Wolf, who retired from the School of Law last spring, served onthe faculty since 1982. In 2001, he founded the Center for DisputeResolution at the University of Maryland (C-DRUM), which hasserved not only the schools at the University, but courts and agenciesthroughout the state. He also ran the school’s mediation clinic.Last year, he was the first recipient of the Robert M. Bell award foroutstanding contribution to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)from the State Bar Association.
“Roger’s personal influence on advancing the acceptance of Alter-native Dispute Resolution within the legal community cannot beunderplayed,” says Rachel Wohl, executive director of the State’sMediation and Conflict Reso-lution Office. “He was a pivotalleader at several critical turningpoints in the development ofADR in Maryland,” she adds,noting that Wolf was one ofthe key drafters of Title 17 ofthe Maryland Rules, which advances the use of ADR in the courts.
She and others point out that it’s common today for most civiland family cases in Maryland to be referred to mediation at somepoint before they go to trial. They credit Wolf ’s tireless efforts, in nosmall part, for this seismic shift.
For Wolf, mediation and ADR has been a perfect fit. He hasbeen described by a fellow mediation trainer, Harry Fox, as some-one “who raises imperturbability to an art form.”
Says Wolf, “I like to think that I listen to people, and I can getpeople to listen to each other.” ADR, he says, is “not so much avoidingconflict as learning how to deal with it in a productive way.”
After the Peace Corps, Wolf attended law school at George Wash-ington University, and went to work for the Neighborhood LegalServices Program as a Reginald Heber Smith Fellow. Advocating fortenants’ and consumer rights in Lyndon Johnson’s Washington, he says,was gratifying. “We felt we were on the side of what was right.”
Wolf went on to head the Clinical Law program at CatholicUniversity, and took a hiatus from legal teaching to purchase afarm and operate a vineyard in Knoxville, MD, though he continuedwith private practice in Frederick. A few years after his return to
teaching, at the Universityof Maryland, he volunteeredto act as the reporter for thenascent Maryland State Barspecial committee on dis-pute resolution. The worklaunched his leadership effortsinto ADR.
Brian Tucker ’02 says his former teacher “embodies the best of thelegal profession, by combining intelligence, creativity, and compassion.”Says Tucker: “I see in Professor Wolf someone who is using the lawto do good things.”

Such a humane person. Reasonable, calm, patient beyond words.One of the most solid human beings I know.
Such were the heartfelt accolades expressed by UMLaw studentsfor longtime dean James Forsyth, upon his retirement last spring.
In his role as assistant dean for registration and enrollment,Forsyth often encountered students during times of crisis—perhapsthey were struggling to pay a tuition bill, or complete enough creditsfor graduation. In response, he was “flexible, kind, and open to creativeproblem solving, but not a pushover,” says Dawna Cobb, assistant deanfor student affairs.
Forsyth joined the School of Law’s administration as assistant tothe dean in 1969. At that time, most of the students were whitemales from Maryland, presided over by two deans and about 20 facultymembers. (One of Forsyth’s duties was making sure the school’s manualtypewriters were in order so students could type their papers andexams.) Today’s student body is much more diverse, both in terms ofrace and gender, as well as geographically, with more than 40 percentof students hailing from outside Maryland.
The shift has brought new expectations from students, says Forsyth.Previously, he says, “institutions could get away with marginal services.Students went to class and that was it.” Today, “the school expectsmore of itself. There are a number of extra-curricular and studentactivities. It’s more than just a place to go to school.”
Over the years, Forsyth was closely involved in these transformations.In the early 1970s, he was director of financial aid for the University ofMaryland’s professional schools, and later worked as an admissionsofficer for the School of Law. In 1984, he became responsible forregistration and student records, before moving on to head the Officeof Registration and Enrollment.
“As a student, you never realized all that he did to keep the LawSchool running,” says Kenneth Aneckstein ’96, a partner at DLAPiper in Baltimore who has taught estate planning and estates andtrusts as an adjunct faculty member for seven years. “As an adjunct,I came to understand how just and wise he is. He takes into accountthe needs and concerns of various constituencies while keeping theSchool’s best interests at heart.”
One thing that never changed, says Forsyth, whose mission involvedensuring that students took and passed the required courses, is lawstudents’ ability to frame an argument. “I sometimes admired it whenstudents came into my office and presented a lawyer-like case toconvince me of why I should let them do something,” he says. Thoughhe didn’t always bend the rules, he says, “I could appreciate the validityof an argument well made.”
Judging from the outpouring of student responses at Forsyth’s retire-ment (gathered into a booklet by Cobb), he’ll be sorely missed. “He’snever one to seek the spotlight or be the center of attention,” wrote onestudent, “but he’s had a huge impact on the lives of students here.”

Later, graduates attendedUMB’s Commencement Ceremony at the 1st MarinerArena, where the speaker was Maryland GovernorMartin O’Malley ’88.

At noon, the final round of the 39th annual Morris Brown
Myerowitz Moot Court Competition took place in the
Ceremonial Courtroom, with Dana Backlund earning the
nod for best oral argument from judges Diana Gribbon
Motz of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit,
Albert J. Matricciani, Jr. ’73 of the Court of Special Appeals
of Maryland, and Phyllis D. Thompson of the D.C. Court
of Appeals. In addition to finishing as a runner-up for
best argument, Joey Tsu-Yi Chen was awarded the prize
for best brief.
That evening, the Moot Court Board presented the
dinner-discussion “Appellate Advocacy: Legal Specialty
or Legal Necessity?”
JudgeMatricciani, Mike Leotta of the U.S. Department of
Justice, Kevin Arthur ’87, Jessica V. Carter ’92, and Peter
Nothstein ’05 offered their personal and professional
insights on the changing nature of appellate advocacy and
the need for the legal profession to address these changes.
2008 champion Brian Robinson presented this year’s award toDana Backlund.
Joey Tsu-Yi Chen was one of the finalists for best oral argumentand won the award for best brief.
In an overflowing Courtroom, former Myerowitz champions MarcDeSimone ’04 (left) and Megan Nichols ’05 (right) received seatsof honor in the jury box.
When disaster strikes, Juliet Choi ’03 does some of her bestwork. A senior director at the national headquarters of theAmerican Red Cross (Washington, D.C.), she helps to
manage and execute national disaster relief operations, supporting chapternetworks and thousands of volunteers, and serves as the principle-in-chargefor NGO strategic partnerships for the Red Cross. At one point last fall—as hurricanes Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike overlapped—she oversaw simul-taneous relief efforts in 14 states with more than 5,000 volunteers.
Just a few months earlier, the Midwest flood season was one of theworst in more than 15 years. And that same year saw more than 160tornadoes in the U.S., one of the largest numbers in a decade. Duringnational-scale disasters, Choi helps to administer the day-to-dayexchange of immense amountsof information among localchapters, government, and non-governmental agencies.
After earning her law degreein 2003, Choi set out to pursuethe practice of civil rights, notdisaster relief. After completing a clerkship with the Hon. Dennis M.Sweeney (Circuit Court, Howard County), she began a two-year civilrights fellowship at the Asian American Justice Center in Washington,where she focused on national origin discrimination. Then, a year intoher fellowship, while working to amend the Stafford Act to ensureprotection of limited English speakers in times of disaster, HurricaneKatrina hit.
“I started receiving random phone calls from Gulf Coast Asian com-munities,” says Choi. She made nearly a dozen trips to the Gulf Coast,attending community meetings, fact-finding, and doing legislative legalresearch. This turn was “completely unintentional and unplanned,” shesays, “but it made a lot of sense to get into Katrina advocacy.”
Working with immigrants from Southeast Asia—Vietnameseand Cambodians mainly—Choi saw at close range how devastat-ing language barriers can be. Many of the Asian hurricane survivorswere not aware of emergency support services, most had never heardof FEMA, and some were fearful of asking for assistance. “You seethe issue to the nth degree when all systems are overwhelmed anddysfunctional,” says Choi.
When her fellowship ended in 2006, she joined the Red Cross.She sees systems change advocacy—as a critical part of her career.Her work is complex, but her goal is simple: She wants to help buildrobust, flexible frameworks that provide equal access to all. “I wanteverybody to have access to the table.”

An Investmentin Law Pays
UnexpectedCelebrating the distinguishedcareer of Joe Hardiman ’62, one-time CEO of NASDAQ.
When times are most devastating,Juliet Choi ’03 steps in.
Joseph Hardiman ’62 didn’t intend to go into the investment business.But, following his own advice, he kept his mind open to possibili-ties—and went on to become president and CEO of the NASDAQstock market.
“I went to law school with the full intention of spending my careerin the law, as a practicing attorney,” says Hardiman, and his careerillustrates a tenet he says is as true today as it was 40 years ago. Lawdegrees, he says, “clearly do not confine one to the practice of law.”
After earning his JD at the School of Law, he began his careerconventionally enough, practicing law in Baltimore for five years. By1968, though, Hardiman began to widen his scope. He was recruitedby the Baltimore-based banking house Robert Garrett and Sons, Inc.,which was later sold to Alex. Brown and Sons. There, Hardimanquickly rose through the ranks, ultimately becoming Alex. Brown’smanaging director and chief operating officer.
The work prepared him well for what was to come: In 1987, hesigned on to lead the investment world’s foremost self-regulatory organ-ization, the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD)—mostfamiliar for its wholly owned subsidiary, NASDAQ.
Hardiman said at the time that he would stay at least five years, butno more than 10. “I had the strong feeling that the person at thehelm has to be there five years to make an impact … but if you staymore than 10 years, you’ve probably stayed too long,” he says. Duringhis nine and a half years at the helm of NASDAQ, it grew into theworld’s second largest private equity market, second only to the NewYork Stock Exchange. Daily volume of trading increased from 130million shares to more than 550 million shares.
Under his leadership, NASDAQ adapted corporate governancerequirements and increased listing standards for all NASDAQ NationalMarket companies, improving protection for investors and pavingthe way for parity of treatment under state blue sky laws. He’s alsocredited with introducing a marketing and customer driven ethic intoan organization that was traditionally more bureaucratic.
Throughout that time, and in particular since his retirement in1997, Hardiman has been an active philanthropist in Baltimore andbeyond. He serves on the Board of the University of MarylandBaltimore Foundation, Inc., where he is a representative to the invest-ment committee that manages the system-wide endowment. He wasalso chair of the Board of Visitors during the fundraising campaign thatgave the School of Law its much-admired building. And it was hisgenerosity that served as the catalyst to establish the new Karen H.Rothenberg Fund for Public Service. Last spring, Hardiman washonored with the University of Maryland School of Law Distin-guished Graduate Award.
In reflecting on his career over the last five decades, Hardiman says,“I’ve watched in awe as the economies of the world have grown closertogether, keeping pace with their clients.” Another marvel has been theimpact of technology. When he started, the floor-based exchanges sawtransactions of about 2 million shares per day, and they had to closeone day a week to keep up with the paperwork. Now markets are ableto handle transactions of billions of shares daily.
Those beginning their financial careers today “have challenges wedid not have, and that is sobering,” he concedes. But he stresses thevalue that the law’s Socratic method of teaching has to any number ofprofessions. “Today,” Hardiman says of those hitting the job market,“there is a wide range of possibilities.”

ON FEB. 6, TOP CHINESE PUBLIC interest lawyer Zhang Jingjing (center,
with Environmental Law Program Director Robert Percival, left) and Joel
Fedder ’58) delivered the Fedder Lecture, “Taking the Long Distance Bus
to the Court: A Practitioner’s Perspective of Environmental Litigation in
China.” Known as the “Erin Brokovich of China,” Jingjing is Director of
Litigation for the Center for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims. She helped
win the largest class-action environmental suit in Chinese history, when
more than 1,700 villages in Fujian Province were awarded compensation from
a factory that had dumped chlorine and chromium into the water supply. The
lecture was supported by the Fedder Environmental Fund, established in 2007
through the generosity of Mr. Fedder and his wife, Ellen.

>> ENDOWED AND NAMED FUNDS
Endowments are a way to combine a donor’s vision with the needs of the School of Law, and a strongendowment reduces the law school’s dependence on tuition revenues. Typically, a portion of incomegenerated by each endowment is spent every year, with any excess earnings reinvested to grow theendowment and compensate for inflation.

The School of law thanks our corporation, foundation, law firm and other organization partners.These organizations are committed to advancing the future o flaw in the states of Maryland andbeyond, and together, we continue to serve our communities and accomplish great things.
MORE THAN 200 GRADUATES GATHERED last fall forthe School of Law’s second Black Law Alumni Reunion,enjoying a weekend of fun, fellowship, and substantivediscussions about race, law, and society. A highlight ofthe weekend was the unveiling of “Thurgood Marshall’sEarly Career in Maryland: 1933-1937,” in the MarshallLaw Library. Drawing on three decades of research byProfessor Larry Gibson, the permanent exhibit revealslittle-known facts and stories about the formative yearsof Marshall’s early law practice, and was unveiled by hiswidow Cecilia Marshall in a rare public appearance.
A companion exhibit depicted the leadership effortsof Emerson Dorsey ’79 and Judge Andre Davis ’78, withstudent leaders of the Black Law Students Association, tohave the Law Library named in honor of JusticeMarshall.“Our first reunion five years ago was such a success,that we had to have another. At the same time, wesought to make this onemore substantive, more mean-ingful, andmore fun. I think we succeeded on all counts,”said Dorsey. “We discussed some very important issuesin the African American community today, raisedawareness about how the Law School faculty is address-ing these issues, and reconnected with friend andcolleagues from all over the country.”
