Message from the Dean


2 the john marshall law school annual report of the dean

Standing on the corner of State and Jackson and looking up at the new John Marshall, I’m amazed at the transformation from just a few short years ago. From the student commons and state-of-

the-art courtrooms to the new Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic, we are building a first-class facility that our students, faculty—and you, our alumni—can truly be proud of. But what strikes me the most is the remarkable transformation that is going on inside John Marshall.

True to our founding principles of opportunity and access, we are helping students do things that they could not do before. Among those things are making a difference in their communities and in the world in a way that reflects their talents and abilities.

In the process, we are also transforming the law school by improving our ability to help students meet the challenges that neither they nor we have seen before. In short, we are preparing our students not just to succeed in the modern world of law, but also to succeed in their careers and in life.

It starts with our curriculum. With the help of our dedicated staff and talented faculty, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Ralph Ruebner is developing new and innovative programs that will have a direct and transformational impact on the lives of our students. These approaches help our students build the strategic, analytical, and transactional knowledge and skills they need to be practice-ready from day one.

Anthony Niedwiecki, the new Associate Dean for Skills, Experiential Learning, and Assessment, has guided our legal writing program to the #2 ranking in the nation. He now leads our efforts to provide more learning programs based on the practical experience that employers value most. Through the efforts of our new Director of the Center for Intellectual Property Law, Professor Doris Long, we have improved our program’s ranking to #12 in the country.

Our Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic, led by Brian Clauss (JD ’90) and Tom White, has become a

national model for providing pro bono services to our nation’s veterans.

Under the leadership of Clinical Professor Allison Bethel, with guidance from F. Willis Caruso and Michael Seng, our Fair Housing Legal Clinic remains the only American law school clinic giving students the opportunity to advocate for the rights of victims of housing and lending discrimination.

Technology in and out of the classroom is changing at a rapid pace. Guided by the strategic vision of Chief Information Officer June Hsiao Liebert, we are incorporating advanced law practice and academic technology into our classrooms and courtrooms.

We are the first Illinois law school to offer a massive open online course (MOOC), and by January 1, 2014, we will also be one of the first law schools in the country to offer 15 credit hours of online education toward the JD.

Finding meaningful employment for our graduates is my number-one priority. In her new duties as Associate Dean for Professionalism and Career Strategy, retired Illinois Appellate Court Justice Peg Frossard is helping our students compete for and get scarce jobs. She is supervising the Career Services Office to increase our outreach to employers and train our students for the job search ahead.

All this transformation comes with a cost. We rely heavily on tuition income, but that is not sufficient to do all that we need to do. More than ever we need your support. There are many deserving students who could use your help.

I write a check to the law school every year at this time. I ask you to do the same, to carry on the deep and meaningful tradition of transforming lives here at The John Marshall Law School.

Veterans Clinic moves into new space John Marshall’s Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic now meets clients in its new home in the renovated 19 W. Jackson building in the heart of Chicago’s legal market. The nationally recognized clinic is headed by veterans legal expert Brian Clauss and is staffed by volunteer lawyers and our students to provide legal assistance and support for veterans. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on September 26, 2013.

Sandra Day O’Connor visits John MarshallRetired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor took Dean Corkery up on his invitation and made an impromptu visit to the law school in

April 2013. Justice O’Connor admired the new State Street entrance and visited with students in the Student Commons.

15 JD course credit hours go online in 2014In January, our pioneering distance education program will distinguish us as one of the first law schools in the U.S. to offer 15 credit hours of online instruction toward a JD, including Video Game Law, Intellectual Property Law, and Military Law. We currently offer 30 online classes in JD, MS, and LLM programs; the most of any law school in the country.

Legal Writing ranked 2nd in the nationAnthony Niedwiecki, who was recently named Associate Dean for Skills, Experiential Learning, and Assessment, led our Legal Writing program from #6 to #2 in the nation in the most recent U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools rankings.

First law school in Illinois with a MOOCThis summer, John Marshall became the first Illinois law school to offer a massive open online course (MOOC). The course, “Military Service and the Law,” is free and open to all, regardless of location or enrollment status.

Intellectual Property Law Program jumps to 12th in the nation Our Intellectual Property Law Program, directed by Professor Doris Estelle Long, is ranked #12 in the nation in the 2014 U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools specialty rankings. The IP center is one of the oldest and most extensive programs in the country.

Fair Housing Clinic’s 20-year fight for justiceJohn Marshall’s Fair Housing Legal Clinic is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Over the past two decades, the Clinic —the only one of its type in the country—has represented more than 900 clients who were discriminated against in violation of federal, state, county, and city laws.

Student group hosts first Chicago symposium on fashion lawIn April 2013, a new student organization at the law school, the Fashion Law Society, put on a groundbreaking Fashion and Design Law Symposium. Fashion designers, IP specialists, and labor attorneys from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico met to discuss the legal issues at the forefront of the fashion world.

thinking Outside the boxProfessor Susan Brody challenges students to prepare for success

Professor Susan Brody has an overarching view of The John Marshall Law School’s relationship to its students: “How do we transform them? It’s not just the curriculum or the programs. It’s how we talk to them when they walk in the door in the admissions office—who greets them, who advises them, what they do

during their orientation. Then it’s the relationships that are developed by the faculty, and then later, mentoring them when they start looking for a job. It should be a seamless web, beginning to end, bigger than the individual parts.”

Brody earned her JD from IIT/Chicago-Kent College of Law, clerked for Judge Lloyd Van Deusen of the Illinois Appellate Court, Second District, and practiced at Beermann, Swerdlove, Woloshin, Barezky & Berkson, concentrating on divorce and appellate work. She joined the John Marshall faculty in 1982, and in addition to teaching, she served as Director of the Lawyering Skills Program from 1984 to 1995, and was Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and for Institutional Affairs, from 1995 through 1999.

Dean Leonard Schrager had a vision for a Lawyering Skills Program at John Marshall, and in 1984 he asked Brody to be its director. Brody developed the curriculum, a multi-semester sequence of courses to expose students to the kinds of writing they would face in a wide variety of practice settings. To professionalize the program, the law school hired several additional full-time, tenure-track faculty members to teach lawyering skills. Since that time, the program has continued to evolve, and is acknowledged as a national leader. This past year, it was ranked number two in the country by U.S. News & World Report.

While in recent years there has been much national media emphasis on practice-readiness, Brody notes that John Marshall has a long-standing tradition of preparing our graduates for practice. She also asserts that in conjunction with skills training, John Marshall prepares our graduates intellectually to tackle complex theoretical concepts and to solve problems creatively, skills especially important for practicing law in the 21st century.

What she’s seen over the course of her years at John Marshall is a seamless web that has indeed expanded and adapted. “If you had told me, when I started here, that we would transform ourselves so completely—our vision, the programs, and the way we prepare the students—so much that we would have a dean of assessment and skills, in addition to a director of legal writing, a director of moot court, a director of trial advocacy and externships, three journals, multiple specialties and advanced degrees, numerous clinics, and more—I would have said there was just no way.”

“The John Marshall Law School is a dynamic place that I’ve looked forward to going to every day of my professional life. It’s an institution that I’m proud of, where we give students an outstanding educational experience that enables them to be highly ethical, successful, and outstanding lawyers.”

‘‘ Our relationship with the students should be a seamless web, beginning to end, bigger than the individual parts.’’

The Association of American Law Schools honored Susan Brody in 2012 for her work in developing the Legal Writing Program at John Marshall. Brody is flanked by Associate Dean Anthony Niedwiecki and Professor Maureen Straub Kordesh, who followed Brody as Director of Lawyering Skills.

ending Housing DiscriminationAllison Bethel helps students work for justice neighborhood by neighborhood

For Allison Bethel, the Director of John Marshall’s Fair Housing Legal Clinic, a major transformation occurred during her first year in law school at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Her Torts professor was an unashamed bigot who made casual derogatory remarks about every gender and class except white Protestant

men. He made a mistake, however, when he crossed the line with an African-American classmate of hers. Bethel wasn’t as retiring or compliant as the black students from the South tended to be—she was from Chicago, and, pursuing the matter through BLSA, led a group of students who complained and got a result. “I’ve always been passionate,” she says. “I like to get involved in issues and I like to stand up for a cause.”

In her first job as a lawyer, she did personal injury plaintiff work in West Palm Beach, Florida, but she never quite felt at home in that specialty. After six years, she joined the firm of Becker & Poliakoff, where she represented corporations and homeowner associations.

That was in 1989, just a year after the amendments to the Fair Housing Act were signed into law. “It was,” Bethel says, “a catalyst for stirring things up.” At first, the future civil rights crusader was defending these associations and communities rather than prosecuting them, but after several years with Becker & Poliakoff, she “wanted to get back to something I could be passionate about, with a cause.”

She took a job (and a substantial pay cut) with the Florida Attorney General’s office, and soon joined a new civil rights unit in the office. She spent two years as assistant director before becoming the director of the litigation initiative. “I felt that I was finally home,” Bethel says. “I had these litigation skills that I’d developed over the previous years, and now I had an issue that I could be passionate about.”

After 10 years in the Florida Attorney General’s office, Bethel left and came back to Chicago in 2008 to direct John Marshall’s fair housing clinic. “There’s no place like this Clinic in the country,” she says. “No one does cases or educational outreach like we do, and it’s tremendously gratifying to train the next generation of civil rights lawyers. I really admire the students for their passion to work in the public interest, and the camaraderie here is tremendous.”

Her transformative goal? “I see the need to show the students how you can pursue issues and still make a living. Some of them will work for state or government agencies, but the majority will work for firms or open their own firms; what are the things they need to be able to do so that they can take on public interest cases and not starve? That’s a key area where I want to help.”

‘‘ I’ve always been passionate. I like to get involved in issues and I like to stand up for a cause.’’

Fair Housing Clinic student interns Leodis McCary, Joi Lyons (above), and supervising attorney Cristina Headley recently won a preliminary injunction in a race/national origin discrimination case involving the sale of a condominium.

Clinical Professor J. Damian Ortiz (JD ’97, LLM ’04) received the 2013 Community Service Award from the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois for his outstanding efforts in protecting civil rights and fair housing laws. He has been a faculty member since 1998.

Clinical Professor F. Willis Caruso was honored in May 2013 with an award for Excellence in Public Interest Service presented by the U.S. District Court and the Chicago chapter of the Federal Bar Association. He was a cofounder of the Fair Housing Legal Clinic and its director from 1994 to 2008. Caruso now directs John Marshall’s Pro Bono Clinic and is Co-Executive Director of the Fair Housing Legal Support Center.


Associate Dean Anthony S. NiedwieckiAssociate Dean for Skills, Experiential Learning, and Assessment

BA, magna cum laude, Wayne State University

JD, magna cum laude, Tulane Law School

LLM, Temple University Beasley School of Law



practice-ready from Day OneAnthony Niedwiecki champions John Marshall’s experiential learning model

Anthony Niedwiecki came to John Marshall in 2010 as Director of the Lawyering Skills Program. He has had a transformative influence on the law school, helping to lift our legal writing program in the U.S. News & World Report rankings—currently second in the nation—and reworking the already-successful

Lawyering Skills Program in order to make it more responsive to the vagaries of the legal employment market. In June 2013, he was named Associate Dean for Skills, Experiential Learning, and Assessment.

Niedwiecki’s undergraduate degree was a double major in mathematics and education, and he taught high school math for several years. He received his JD from Tulane Law School and practiced labor and employment law for two firms in Texas, but “teaching has always been in my bones,” so he accepted a fellowship to attend a two-year LLM program at Temple University Beasley School of Law that prepares practitioners to become law professors.

He went into teaching law knowing that he would have to make some significant sacrifices. “By leaving a big law firm, my income dropped to a quarter of what it had been. A friend gave me a case of macaroni and cheese as a gag gift, but it was the only food I had at the end of my first month of teaching!” He completed the program and has taught at Temple, Arizona State University, and Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad Law Center. His ideals about community service led him into politics and he served as vice mayor of Oakland Park, Florida; he was elected mayor but resigned before taking office in order to come to John Marshall.

“During my first year at John Marshall,” he says, “I did a thorough data-driven assessment of the program. We learned some very useful things. For instance, a large proportion of our graduates get hired by relatively small firms. That means we have to teach our students a wider range of skills in order for them to hit the ground running. So now we’re casting a wider net in terms of areas that we weren’t necessarily teaching before.”

In fall 2013, John Marshall became the first law school in the Midwest to require three credit hours of practical experience for graduation. Niedwiecki was a proponent of this change, because, he says, “our students needed to pull everything together. We were teaching pieces here and there, but we needed to conclude Lawyering Skills with a real client experience, as an extension of LS and not something separate.”

‘‘ John marshall has the ability to weather the current storm and emerge as a better institution than we were going into it. this as a perfect opportunity to advance the school.’’

Professor Sonia Green directs John Marshall’s new Expert Learning program, a required first-semester, first-year course that teaches effective study and exam-taking strategies.

Last year, John Marshall’s in-house Writing Resource Center staff held 1,400 one-on-one appointments with students. The four full-time advisors, all with JDs, are directed by Lurene Contento (JD ’00), second from right above.

John Marshall’s Lawyering Skills faculty hold high office in influential legal writing organizations. Kim Chanbonpin is on the board of directors of the Legal Writing Institute, and serves with Dean Niedwiecki on the Association of Legal Writing Directors Task Force on ABA Issues.

transformed by LeadershipJames Tatooles looks back at his John Marshall experience after 50 years

James P. Tatooles earned his JD from John Marshall in 1963 and has been a solo practitioner for 50 years. He has an easy-going manner and a gift for storytelling, and he is old school. Just how old is old school? Try this: “It cost $500 a semester to attend John Marshall, and you could pay in installments.” Or this: “We didn’t have

the LSAT. I showed up the day before classes started. They said, ‘Start tomorrow.’ I said, ‘Don’t you want any transcripts?’ ‘No,’ they said, ‘we’ll get them later.’” And this: “In my third year, Dean Noble Lee heard about the LSAT and wanted to find out what it was like. So he asked my whole class, ‘Would you mind taking it? The law school will pay for it.’ We all took it. I don’t think I did that well.”

For Tatooles, the major transformative role at John Marshall was played by Dean Lee. “He established a class called Case Analysis that was required for graduation, and then he taught it himself,” Tatooles recalls. “He could be cantankerous. In my last term, in the last session of the Case Analysis class, he had me on my feet analyzing a domestic relations case and he just blew up. I was wrong, wrong, wrong. He ended class early and promised us he was going to put that same case on the final exam.

“Sure enough, there it was, and no matter how many times I reread it, I simply could not see the analysis any other way than I had done it in class. So that’s what I wrote.

“A couple of weeks later, before the grades were in, I was on the way to the library and who should join me in the elevator but Dean Lee. I was actually afraid. At first we rode in silence, but then without any preamble he announced that I had received the highest grade in Case Analysis. After I graduated he asked me to return and teach the course!”

“The John Marshall Law School has been terrific for me, and I can’t thank it enough. It gave me an opportunity.” Tatooles has shown his gratitude through gifts to the law school, including a carrel in the library and another carrel in the new home of the Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic.

Tatooles is a Chicago native who shifted his practice from the city to suburban Wheeling in the 1970s. Although he now represents the grandchildren of people who were his clients when he started out, he isn’t interested in retiring. “I’m optimistic—I renewed my lease for another three years,” he says. “I make my own appointments; it’s a real personal relationship with my clients. The phone keeps ringing and I keep working.”

‘‘ Dean Noble Lee ran the school with an iron fist. His goal was to turn out lawyers who could think on their feet and be ready for battle in the courtroom.’’

Joseph N. WagnerBS, Illinois State University

JD candidate, The John Marshall Law School

Sergeant, United States Marine Corps, 2002–2007



Duty Calls Marine veteran and student Joe Wagner serves his fellow veterans

Joe Wagner’s entire adult life has been about transformation. First he left civilian life and became a Marine, spending time overseas and learning Japanese. Next he made the transition from the military to college, and then enrolled in law school. Now he’s about to graduate and become a practicing attorney. The thread that remains

constant through this evolution is a deep-seated desire to help other people, particularly other veterans.

Wagner knew from the time that he was five years old that he wanted to be a Marine and enlisted as soon as he was of age. He trained to be an aviation support equipment mechanic and deployed to Iwakuni, Japan, twice; the first time for seven months and the second time for a full year. It was while he was attending Illinois State University that he discovered that he was very interested in “finding a specific issue and just digging down, figuring out the intricacies of the problem, and being able to arrive at a solution.” The role of a counselor or advisor “who would be able to give an educated and well-reasoned opinion or advice” appealed to him, and led him to law school.

While at Illinois State, Wagner worked as a veteran counselor, assisting fellow student veterans with the veteran education benefits process. With its nationally recognized Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic (VLSC), The John Marshall Law School was a natural choice for pursuing his continuing interest in aiding fellow veterans.

“The VLSC is the main reason why I came to John Marshall,” Wagner says. “It’s very helpful being a veteran myself and working in the Clinic. Sometimes, when a veteran calls, they may be hesitant, but as soon as I mention that I’ve served, the whole dynamic of the conversation shifts. That makes it easier to ask the hard questions involving benefits claims.

“Working in the VLSC is important because of what our nation’s veterans have done for our country. I’ve worked with the intricacies of the veteran benefits system from two different sides, as a veteran who’s applied for benefits himself and then as an advocate, helping other veterans to get through that same process. I’m able to apply my personal experience to better understand the issues, to communicate with the veterans more effectively, and to help them get the benefits that they deserve.

“The John Marshall Law School has prepared me to be a well-versed legal professional through the practical legal skills fostered while working in the Veterans Legal Support Center & Clinic, as well as the extensive legal research and writing training required of every graduate.

“After I graduate, whether I’m employed as in-house counsel for a corporation or working with national security law at a federal agency, I’ll always want to do pro bono work for veterans.”

‘‘ I’m able to apply my personal experience to better understand the issues, to communicate with the veterans more effectively, and to help them get the benefits that they deserve.’’

It’s a tradition for the president of the U.S. to offer personal Christmas greetings to military service members. In 2012, Chief Petty Officer David Weiss, a student on leave from John Marshall, was one of just two Coast Guard members selected to speak with President Barack Obama on Christmas Day.

Retired JAG officer and West Point instructor Thomas D. White Jr., in suit above, is the Clinical Director of the VLSC and one of the reasons John Marshall is Chicago’s Veteran-Friendly Law School.

The three John Marshall students who founded the VLSC are having distinguished careers. From left, Captain Michael E. Barnicle (JD ’08) is a trial attorney for the U.S. Army Legal Services Agency, Captain Nicholas Henry (JD ’08) is an instructor at Naval Justice School in Rhode Island, and Captain Ryan Coward (JD ’07) is assigned as a capital defense attorney in the case of United States v. Major Nidal Hasan.

Transforming Lives. Making a Difference.

True to our founding principles of opportunity and access, The John Marshall Law School continues to transform legal education through innovative programs and ideas. Today we are a leader in transforming the lives of our students and the people of our community through clinics and faculty involvement, and making a difference in the city of Chicago.

legacy will continue. To successfully meet the ambitious goals we’ve set will require generosity from our alumni and friends.

Academic Success

Your support allows us to continuously improve our academic programs. Our students need and deserve access to enhanced programs, challenging and relevant courses, and the widest possible range of practical experiences.

John Marshall is investing in our talented faculty and additional support of bar passage. And we’re just getting started!

Scholarship Support

Your support allows us to increase financial aid and scholarship assistance for students. More assistance means more students will be able to focus on their studies full time and have the flexibility to participate in honors programs or pro bono efforts, and then graduate with smaller debt burdens as they begin their careers. Scholarships are the number one reason a student chooses a law school, and we need to attract the best young talent.

First-Rate Facilities

It is easy to see the power of the transformation at State St. and Jackson Blvd. Your support allows us to continuously improve the state-of-the-art facilities inside our beautiful new campus center. To give our students every edge in a very competitive market, they must have access to first-class resources such as technology-ready courtrooms and classrooms.

Mentoring our students. Hiring our graduates.

The support we need is not solely financial, however. In addition to your monetary generosity, you can also help The John Marshall Law School greatly by mentoring our students and hiring our graduates. Becoming directly involved in the career of a student or new lawyer offers rich rewards to everyone involved.

Please consider a gift to Chicago’s practice-ready law school today. Give now and help us transform the future for our students and our community.

Expanding Clinical Experiences Clinics give our students the real-world experience that is so highly valued by employers. We now offer seven different clinical opportunities, with more being planned, and in every instance our students work one-on-one with members of our community here in Chicago. With your assistance, we can add innovative and relevant clinics and renovate additional sections of the 19 W. Jackson building to give the clinics a professional environment for client consultations.



Mastering Advanced Technology To be competitive, our students need access to the latest in law practice and classroom technology. Our pioneering distance education program is improving access to a legal education through advanced technology and content delivery. We are updating our classrooms and courtrooms to improve our students’ learning experiences and outcomes. with your assistance, we can stay at the forefront of innovation by providing the additional training and resources required to keep our in-house technology the best in its class.

Leading in Lawyering SkillsWe give our students the skills, knowledge, and experience to be practice-ready from day one. The cornerstone is our dynamic and comprehensive Lawyering Skills Program. with your assistance, we can continue to hire outstanding instructors so that our student/faculty ratio stays among the lowest, and students will still have, for instance, individual sessions with writing advisors, and small class sizes.

Increasing Trial Advocacy & ADR TrainingHere at John Marshall, we’re proud of our long-standing reputation for graduating capable, courtroom-ready trial attorneys. Students taking courses in trial advocacy and ADR benefit from an adjunct faculty of more than 70 respected and experienced public defenders, prosecutors, and judges who offer real-world courtroom expertise in our classrooms. with your assistance, we can stay abreast of the rapidly changing and technologically challenging world of trial practice and enhance our students’ success.

Guiding Professionalism & Career Strategy With the contraction in the legal hiring market, Associate Dean for Professionalism and Career Strategy Margaret O’Mara Frossard has the challenging task of helping our students to gain meaningful employment. Under her guidance, the Career Services Office is developing a series of workshops and professional development programs. with your assistance, we will have the resources necessary to help our students compete for and get scarce jobs.

Innovating in Intellectual Property LawFor more than 70 years, The John Marshall Law School has been a pioneer in IP legal education, and we remain at the forefront—offering innovative courses in the classroom and online, presenting international conferences, and publishing widely on influential topics. with your assistance, our nationally ranked program will continue to lead the way in Ip by preparing our students with the knowledge, skills, and experience to succeed from day one.

“ As The John Marshall Law School continues its tradition of providing students with opportunities to serve others, I can think of no better way to assist them in accomplishing this mission than through helping fund one of its many student scholarships.”Ricardo Meza (JD ’90) is the Executive Inspector General for the Agencies of the Illinois Governor. Previously he was Midwest Regional Counsel for MALDEF and an Assistant U.S. Attorney. He helped establish the William E. Rodriguez Memorial Scholarship, in memory of the first student of Hispanic heritage to graduate from John Marshall (1912).

The alumni and friends listed here and on the following pages have helped make this past fiscal year particularly successful for The John Marshall Law School. With the outpouring of financial support, we were able to establish several student scholarships, fund special programs, and sustain operating support. The law school is indebted to our donors for their belief in this institution.

Gifts shown in this report were received between September 1, 2012 and August 31, 2013.

“ I was admitted through the conditional program— John Marshall was willing to take a chance on me and give me the opportunity to prove myself. I owe my success, both professionally and personally, to this law school. I’m grateful that someone believed in me, and it seems only natural to carry that forward with a gift. Do it now—if you wait for the perfect time to give back, it may never happen.”A founding partner of Spiros Law, with offices in Kankakee, Danville, and Champaign, James D. Spiros (JD ’94) is a litigator specializing in personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases. He recently established the Spiros Family Perseverance Scholarship, the first scholarship at John Marshall dedicated to assisting students who complete the SCALES (conditional) program and enroll in the JD program.



“ George always felt loyal and dedicated to John Marshall—it was the first and only place he taught—and I certainly hope his students feel the same way.”Sue Hartin Trubow was the wife of Professor Emeritus George B. Trubow, who taught at John Marshall from 1961–65 and from 1976–2000 and founded the Center for Information Technology and Privacy Law. He died in January 2013.

“ Professor Trubow was demanding—his high standards were responsible for many of us having the success we enjoy today. His students can honor his memory by giving a portion of the fruits of that success back to the George Trubow Memorial Scholarship.”Kenneth A. Michaels Jr. (JD ’83) is a founding principal of the Chicago-based firm Bauch & Michaels, LLC. He worked with George Trubow for several years after graduation, serving as Research Director of the Center for Information Technology & Privacy Law and then as the Center’s first Fellow.

“ John Marshall is known for accommodating both the traditional student coming from college and the nontraditional student, such as myself, who entered law school after working for several years. Without all the different facets of the experience here, I doubt I would have been successful in my career. A gift to The John Marshall Law School can truly make a difference in someone’s life.”Pamela Lung-Hiu Shu (JD ’80) is senior regional counsel for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Since 1998, she has been a member of John Marshall’s Board of Visitors. She recently established the Pam Shu Scholarship, created in loving memory of her parents, to benefit students needing assistance to complete their studies.

“ After a full-ride scholarship, I owe John Marshall my full support—to keep giving, beyond just paying back the value of the aid I received, and make it possible for other deserving students to have the same solid start on their careers.”After law school, Diane Jennings (JD ’82) clerked for Hon. John J. Sullivan of the Illinois Appellate Court, First District, and then joined Lord, Bissell & Brook, where she became a partner and focused on appellate work. In 2000, she became a founding partner of Anderson, Rasor & Partners, and she retired in 2010.

There are many ways to make a gift to The John Marshall Law School. The most common include:

Gifts of Cash

Simple and uncomplicated, these gifts can be put to work immediately and allow The John Marshall Law School maximum flexibility.

Gifts of Securities and Real Estate

Such gifts, especially if appreciated in value, are enormously advantageous to the law school. They may provide greater tax benefits than gifts of cash.

Life Income Arrangements

A charitable trust or gift annuity is a meaningful gift to The John Marshall Law School and provides the donor with immediate tax deductions and an income for life.

Bequests

Gifts will enable donors to make significant contributions that may not have been possible during their lifetimes.

Life Insurance

Creating a new policy or transferring an existing one enables a donor to convert a modest annual outlay into a substantial gift to the law school.

Annual Fund

We rely on the Annual Fund to close the gap between the actual cost of educating our students and the income from tuition, which does not cover all our costs. We must maintain the immediate benefits provided by the Annual Fund. The goals and objectives of the law school will be achieved only if the Annual Fund continues to grow. Every year you have a special opportunity to make a difference with your annual gift to The John Marshall Law School.

To Make a Gift

You may give online with a credit card at www.jmls.edu/give or please contact Lauren Prihoda, Director of Annual Giving, at 312.386.2871 or [email protected].

Message from Professor and Former Dean Robert Gilbert JohnstonDear Alumni and Friends,

I’ve decided to retire. I taught my first class at John Marshall in 1963, and over the years since then I feel as if I’ve gotten acquainted with each and every one of you. And you’ve all made me proud of my association with this very special place.

In fact, I’m fiercely proud of my association with The John Marshall Law School. This is a school of opportunity and diversity, and there are few schools that espouse these ideals as strongly as we do here. Those of you who are younger may not realize the many challenges we faced in maintaining our evening division. But without programs like the evening division, we wouldn’t be John Marshall.

I’ve supported the law school financially. And I’m particularly proud of the scholarship that bears my name, which benefits second-year and third-year evening students who work full time.

If you’re an alumnus and you don’t contribute to John Marshall, then I feel like I failed somewhere along the way. I wanted to facilitate the dreams of the students, and I wanted them to have some perspective. Having a sense of obligation and wanting to give back ultimately comes down to two

qualities that are also hallmarks of the best lawyers: compassion and respect. These are qualities you need to be successful in your profession and in your life.

I hope you will make a generous gift. It will help The John Marshall Law School increase scholarship offerings and continue to be a very special place.

Thank you for your contribution, and thank you for the opportunity to serve, as an adjunct professor, professor, administrator, and dean—

Gil Johnston

Thank You!


Are we missing your name?This Annual Report of the Dean includes those alumni and friends who have given gifts to The John Marshall Law School during the fiscal year September 1, 2012 through August 31, 2013. If you made a donation to the law school and your name does not appear in this report, or if your name is included at a giving level that does not seem correct, the following may explain why:

Your gift was made outside the fiscal year, either prior to September 1, 2012, or after August 31, 2013.

Your gift was actually in a higher amount than you recall making. Please review the next giving level to see if your name appears there.

Your name was inadvertently left off due to a clerical error. If this is the case, we apologize for the omission. Please call Maridonna Schaal, Development Services Director, at 312.360.2663 so that we may review your gift information with you.

If you did not make a gift during the 2012–2013 fiscal year, and would like to see your name in next year’s report, please contact Lauren Prihoda, Director of Annual Giving:
