You are the primary source of pride for us. We brag about you to prospective and current students and anyone else who will

listen. The successes of Ohio State Moritz College alumni fuels our desire to do even better. Our most earnest aim now is to build a learning environment that is second to none.

By fall of 2003, students will enjoy one of the best law student-faculty ratios in the nation at less than 14 to 1. Three stellar new faculty members, introduced in this issue of the Law Record, began teaching this year. With these appointments, the college fi lls the remaining chaired professorships donated by the late Michael E. Moritz ’61. The fac-ulty now is searching nationally to fi ll the new J. Gilbert Reese Chair in Contracts, confi dent that the prestige of a chair will help to lure a star teacher and scholar. In addition, we will add four more faculty members, assisted by funds from the university’s “selective investment” in the college.

Douglas Whaley, a professor here since the 1970s, commented recently that he had never been proud-er to be a member of the Ohio State law faculty. I feel the same way and attribute it to a combination of amazing raw talent and a dogged commitment by the faculty to improve each aspect of the enterprise. Every week, the faculty holds internal workshops on teaching, emerging legal issues, or insights for law from other disciplines. Aspirations are high, and no one feels too smug to improve.

A number of alumni are helping to retain these bright and dedicated professors. In addition to the Moritz and Reese chairs, new designated professor-ships, which last fi ve years, will be used to retain mid-level star faculty. In our next issue, we will feature these professorships. Our alumni at Porter, Wright, Morris, and Arthur collectively donated a designated professorship, named to honor a law partner and retired Ohio State professor, Robert J. Nordstrom. This supplements the designated professorships named for William B. Saxbe ’48 and Robert J. Watkins ’53—the latter donated by alumni at Procter and Gamble.

A key to creating a learning environment sec-ond to none is engaging the students so that they earnestly seek to learn. This fall, the college adds a third journal, the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law. With more than a hundred students still work-ing on the existing journals, this additional group of students is at work editing leading scholars’ works. The fi rst issue will focus on events and legal issues

A Learning Environment Second to Nonearising in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.

We are grateful to alumni who have agreed to add to the learning environment by engaging students in discussion of professional issues. Saxbe, who was the U.S. Attorney General in the aftermath of the Watergate scandals and also served as U.S. Senator and Ambassador to India, spoke informally with students during Public Service Day in September. Another alumni group, this time all judges, will join students for Judges’ Day in November. Corporate Counsel Day in the spring will bring still other alumni to the school.

This issue focuses on a few ways that students are taking advantage of the learning opportunities. An astonishing number of stu-dents won national awards this year, with the most recent announced in this issue. More are interested in coming, and credentials are higher by typical measures in the class entering this fall.

We would like you to enjoy this atmosphere as well. Log on to our new web page, http://moritzlaw.edu, and look for archived broadcasts, select lectures, then conferences. If you wish to attend an event in person, you’ll fi nd the details of each activity in our calendar. And, as always, please feel free to send your ideas to me at rogers.23@osu.edu.

By the time she decided to attend law school here at Ohio State and accept a Michael E. Moritz Merit Scholarship this fall, Melissa

Palmisciano had already made three key choices in life.

“I decided at 16 that I would go to the Naval Academy after high school,” she recalls. “And then, that I would take the option of being commissioned in the Marine Corps rather than the Navy after graduation. And, fi nally, that I would marry my husband Matthew.”

The most recent choice, to attend law school far from her Marine pilot husband, is consistent with a philosophy of goal-oriented choosing that she sums up like this:

“You have to look at ideally where you want to be at a certain point and be willing to make sacri-fi ces to get there. Sometimes, you have to postpone other things you’d like, such as time right now with my husband, and fi nd a way to be happy with where you are now.”

One of nine recipients this year of the school’s most prestigious scholarship, she’s confi dent she’ll be happy studying law at Ohio State.

Like other Moritz Scholars, her choice came after a careful look not only at the generous fi nancial package accompanying the honor (full resident tuition and a $5,000 stipend) but also the caliber and approachability of the faculty, the helpfulness of the admissions staff, and the promise, through the scholarship, of being paired with a successful Ohio State law graduate as a personal mentor.

These factors, plus the draw of a big-fi rm city with a small-town feel, enticed this year’s top award-winners to pass up offers from schools including the University of Chicago, University of Michigan, Duke, Vanderbilt, Tulane, George Wash-ington University, Boston College, Notre Dame, and Georgetown, in favor of the Moritz College of Law.

For Palmisciano, whose military specialty is aviation intelligence and whose choices have been directed toward a career in intelligence work and international law, the Moritz Scholarship also offered the opportunity to return home to the Columbus area after eight years away at school and in military service, most recently with her husband in San Diego.

“With our military careers, Matthew and I have lived apart for much of our marriage,” she said.

Moritz Scholars Distinguished by ChoicesBy Pat Snyder

“Soon, he’ll be leaving for Japan for six to eight months with the Marines, and even when he’s in this country, we’ll see each other only every six to eight weeks. But in Columbus, I’ll be near friends and family.”

Still focused on long-term goals, she plans to join the Judge Advocate General Corps at graduation, then hopes to return as a professor to the Naval Academy, where she and her husband met as stu-dents, and eventually to work for the State Depart-ment or the CIA.

While some other Moritz Scholars have less spe-cifi c long-term goals, they are clear about what they want in a law school. Take Jason Hildenbrand of Munroe Falls, Ohio, a Case Western Reserve Univer-sity philosophy grad. He knows only that he wants to “actually practice law after school,” but his system for choosing a school and making the most of it is precise.

“When I make important choices, I look at my general goals and develop a system of criteria,” he says. “In choosing a law school, I knew that I wanted to avoid overall indebtedness, wanted to stay connected to my home community, and fi nd an atmosphere that was conducive to learning, with a variety of cultural opportunities.” In Ohio State, he found all that and a bonus. His sister Jessica is enrolled in the Ohio State undergraduate program as a sophomore.

He predicts that the choice-making will con-tinue in law school, and with the same systematic approach.

“Most important this year,” he says, “ is just to get acclimated to the law school process, then to focus on an interest area, and, fi nally, to integrate that with some sort of employment that fi ts.”

Like Hildenbrand, Patrick Korody took the deci-sion of choosing a law school seriously—especially so because it was the fi rst big decision he had to make without his father, who died the summer before Korody’s junior year at Amherst College.

“He wouldn’t tell me what to do, but he would strongly recommend,” he said. “I asked myself what he would have said and I knew it was: ‘Go where you think you’ll get the most comprehensive education.’”

Contributing to that wished-for comprehen-sive education has been the mentorship program the scholarship offers. Paired with trial lawyer and

“You have to look

at ideally where

you want to be at

a certain point

and be willing to

make sacrifices

to get there.”

Franklin County Republican Party Chair Michael F. Colley, Korody has found an informal advisor who shares his interest in politics and trial law. Once an intern in the Washington offi ce of U.S. Senator Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.), Korody looks forward to regular, informal get-togethers with his mentor and hopes to watch him at work in the courtroom, too.

Sensitive to the quality of instruction he’d likely encounter here, Korody paid particular attention during the admissions process to an hour-long faculty panel presentation when he visited the law school.

“They were all published experts in their fi eld,” he recalls. “But unlike some law schools, where the faculty seems so distant, they took a deep interest in the students and were approachable. They said, ‘Come talk with us.’”

Similar sentiments were shared by two other Moritz Scholars: Dianna Parker of Wadsworth, Ohio, and Andrew Campbell of Dayton. Parker was particularly impressed by the “quality and character of the students” when she visited the school last year and found the atmosphere more welcoming and supportive than some other schools where she had applied.

Campbell, who received an undergraduate degree in English from Ohio State in 1999, placed spe-cial signifi cance on the quality of the law school’s admissions staff.

“I believe that you can tell a lot about an organi-zation’s leadership when you encounter its members at the ground level,” he said. “It felt more like a community than any other school I visited.”

With the choice of a law school now behind them, even those with a clear vision of the future are aware that the tough decision-making goes on and on.

Mike Mooney, a married student who completed a two-year MBA program at Ohio State in 1999 while working as a lobbyist in Columbus, expects continuous decision-making in the area of personal/professional life balance.

“Life experience has taught me that professional life needs to be balanced with other elements,” he says, “family, friends, hobbies, community service. I think I have the organizational skills I need to balance a corporate law practice with these other things. But if I fi nd that’s not possible, then I’ll have to do some prioritizing, decide what’s most important.”

It’s a challenge that Melissa Palmisciano, back in town for law school, faces, too.

Seasoned by the Marines, she’s not nervous that she’ll be called on by some intimidating professor.

“Right now, I’m looking at what’s the right bal-ance between the work load and enjoying myself,” she says. “It’s something I have to look at, with fam-ily and friends here. Those quality of life issues will pose important choices.”

Each year, up to 10 new Moritz Scholars are chosen without regard to fi nancial need, based upon supe-rior academic records and other criteria including demonstrated leadership ability, intellectual curiosity, participation in public service activities, diversity of background, talent and experience, and future com-mitment to leadership, service, and the legal profes-sion. Other Moritz Scholars in this year’s entering class are Siobhan Boyd, Pataskala, Ohio; Kimberly Blackwell, Worthington, Ohio; and Christopher Haas, Marietta, Ohio.

Pat Snyder is an attorney and freelance writer from Columbus. She writes the regular humor column, “Balancing Act,” which appears in Suburban News publications.

The incoming fi rst-year class of students at the Michael E. Moritz College of Law at The Ohio State University is one of the strongest

in nearly at decade, according to Kathy Northern, Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs and Associate Professor of Law. At 245 strong, it is also one of the largest classes in recent years and has ranked higher on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) than previous entering classes.

scholarships. “Being a part of his effort and what he dreamed for the law school is a great honor.”

Melissa Palmisciano, a Pickerington native and also a Moritz Scholar, added, “Mr. Moritz’ generos-ity has allowed my dream of attending law school to fall into place.”

This year, 33 percent of the new students are from outside Ohio, down from last year when 37 percent were not permanent residents of the state. They come from 20 different states and fi ve foreign countries, including Ghana, Korea, People’s Republic of China, and Turkey. The students also represent 112 different undergraduate schools.

LSAT scores for the new students are higher than in previous years. The median score on the test was 160, up from last year’s 158. The median grade point average is nearly 3.7.

“The Moritz College has several innovations in place as we welcome this new class with high aca-demic credentials,” said Nancy H. Rogers, Dean and Michael E. Moritz Chair in Alternative Dispute Res-olution. A new law journal, the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law, began operating in the fall of 2002. Next summer, students may participate in classes and internships in Washington, D.C., in addition to the school’s longstanding summer abroad program at Oxford University. The addition of three new faculty members allows students to enjoy an even more attractive faculty-student ratio, and the college has continued to upgrade technological resources in the classrooms.

Strength in Numbers Diversity Marks First-Year Class at Moritz College

Of the 245 students, 51 percent are women and 19 percent are minorities, not including interna-tional students. Last year, there were 229 students, with 48 percent women and 17 percent minorities.

“Strength is said to come in numbers and said to come in diversity,” said Associate Dean Northern. “In every sense of the word, both of those phrases are true with regard to this class.”

She says the increase in students is a refl ection of the confi dence the late Michael E. Moritz ’61 had in the college and his belief that the school would grow stronger each year.

Moritz gave $30 million in 2001 to the law school. The gift, the largest in the history of The Ohio State University, created a scholarship fund, which offers full in-state tuition and a stipend for 30 Ohio State law students each year; fi nances lead-ership awards to three students each year; and estab-lished four endowed faculty chairs. The gift also established the Gregory H. Williams Dean’s Fund for Excellence, named for the college’s former dean.

“Mr. Moritz clearly took his dream for the law school to heart,” said Michael Mooney, a Cincin-nati native who is a recipient of one of the Moritz

Each year the more than 1,400 judges in federal and state courts must choose from among thousands of candidates across the country to

work as law clerks in their chambers.Judicial clerkships are competitive, and the selec-

tion process itself is judicious: judges look for the best and brightest candidates; law school graduates seek a unique opportunity to practice in the U.S. justice system.

Whether they be in federal, state, trial, or appel-late courts, judicial clerkships offer signifi cant benefi ts to new lawyers—prestige, distinctive public service experience, intense legal skills refi nement, and lasting professional and personal contacts.

But how judges choose their clerks and the type of responsibilities they assign can vary, and from what they say, many fi nd Moritz College of Law graduates to be the right fi t.

What Judges Look ForSelecting a law clerk is highly subjective, but gen-erally judges review a student’s grades, academic performance, and recommendations. Beyond that, they want clerks who can research, write, and com-municate well, especially someone who will speak up, even if the clerk disagrees with the judge on his or her opinion.

“I like to have my clerks write the fi rst draft of my opinion,” says William A. Fletcher, a judge for U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. “And I want them to tell me if they think I’m wrong.”

Alan E. Norris, senior status judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, says that, in addition to class rank and accomplishments, he looks for “intellectual fi re power.”

“The job is so demanding, the person has got to be quick,” he adds.

Donald L. Graham ’74, U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, says he has increasingly found solid candidates in individuals who’ve prac-ticed in law fi rms.

“I fi nd more law clerks with that type of experi-ence,” says Graham, who adds he receives up to 400 applications each year. “It helps me because they have analyzed issues and have writtenextensively.”

Graham also says he looks for individuals who do some kind of community outreach. “Lawyers

have an obligation to do something for the commu-nity, especially for those less fortunate.”

José A. Gonzalez, senior judge for the U.S. Dis-trict Court, Southern District of Florida, looks for individuals who have some unusual or distinctive experience, which he feels broadens their perspec-tive. For instance, a former clerk, Christopher A. Snyder ’00, worked in Spain for a year with home-less youth.

Once hired, law clerks are expected to hit the ground running. They perform any number of legal research and writing duties, including preparing bench memos, drafting and proofreading a judge’s orders and opinions, verifying citations, and assist-ing the judge with courtroom proceedings, to name a few. Clerks also say it’s given them greater confi -dence to know they can do the work.

“You can’t get any better [legal] experience than working with a judge,” Snyder says. “And it’s a step-ping stone to whatever type of career fi eld that you choose.”

The most important work of a law clerk is the drafting of opinions, says Ohio State Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer ’64. “In a state court where we are deciding a lot of cases involving inter-pretation of statutes or common law, the research aspect isn’t as time consuming as the drafting of opinion,” he notes.

Appellate vs. Trial CourtWhile trial and appellate courts require many of the same skills, they tend to attract different graduates for various reasons. In the appellate courts, clerks read briefs, review the record, research the law, and provide the analysis the judge needs for the opinion.

“An appellate clerkship is a lot like law school in the sense that you’re researching and writing about legal issues,” says Brian Ray ’01, who clerks for Norris and who has an interest in complex civil cases, par-ticularly employment issues. “A case will come up and it may be an area that you’re not familiar with and you have to quickly delve into the case law and gain an understanding as quickly as possible.”

Emily Stewart Haynes ’00, who just fi nished a two-year clerkship with Chief Justice Moyer, applied for the position at the Supreme Court of Ohio because of the judge’s well-known leadership in developing a national model for alternative dispute

Whether they be in federal, state, trial, or appellate courts, judicial clerkships offer significant benefits to new lawyers—prestige, distinctive public service experience, intense legal skills refinement, and lasting professional and personal contacts.

resolution (ADR). During her fi rst year Haynes also worked as a reporting coordinator for the Uniform Mediation Act, which Chief Justice Moyer co-chaired.

Haynes and her colleagues reviewed jurisdic-tional cases and talked with the Chief Justice about whether he should vote to bring the case in for oral argument. Once the case was scheduled, the clerks talked with him about questions they thought he should ask, “and just basically helped him decide which way the case should go,” she says.

If the Chief Justice is selected to write the opin-ion, he’ll have one of the clerks draft the document, a six-week to two-month process, says Haynes.

“The court has already voted which way they think it could go, but that could change because the record is not what the lawyer said it was. You have to look at the law because [the lawyers] don’t always brief all the aspects that the court thinks are important.”

Haynes’ colleague, Peter Casey ’01, a self-described “government-geek” who went to Wash-ington, D.C., out of college to work as a legislative assistant for a U.S. congressman, says his clerkship gives him a chance to see another side of govern-ment at work.

Casey adds that constitutional law wasn’t one of his strengths in law school, but he’s gained a better understanding of it during the fi rst year of his clerk-ship after having drafted a majority opinion and a dissent for a constitutional issue.

“With a constitutional law case you feel like you’re having an effect, and that’s nice,” Casey says.

RonNell Jones, a clerk for Fletcher in the 9th Cir-cuit, and a former journalist, agrees. “The learning curve is really steep here. You dive in and all of a sudden you’re making recommendations about how cases should come out.”

Moreover, she adds, the mentor relationship with a judge and the legal analysis is what attracted her to the appellate court. “I knew that clerking is viewed as an important step toward teaching and working as a legal scholar.”

At the trial level, judges say they also look for individuals who are well spoken and can work well under stress, particularly with the type of caseloads they carry.

“Working in a district court you get to see life in the raw,” says Gonzalez, whose court is in the busi-est district in the country. “Everyday you see some-thing new, all kinds of cases and situations. Because it is a trial court, you’re dealing with real life problems as opposed to the court of appeals, where you’re dealing with abstract questions of law.”

Snyder, who began his two-year clerkship in 2000 with Gonzalez, concurs. Criminal cases inter-est him the most because they deal with human

life and drama. “Being in the Southern District of Florida is the perfect place for that since it has the highest number of criminal jury trials,” he says.

“Since I’ve been here, we have done 21 trials, which is a huge amount, especially for a senior judge. To experience that and watch good—and, more important, awful—attorneys is such a learn-ing experience.”

Hiring periods vary as well. Generally, federal district courts hire for two-year periods, and appel-late and state and federal supreme courts for one year. Up until March 2002, the search for judicial clerks has typically begun in the law students’ sec-ond year of school, when most students apply for such positions. That timetable changed for most federal courts, however, when federal appellate judg-es overwhelmingly voted—and most district court judges agreed—to start hiring during the third year of law school. This new timetable allows judges to review a more extensive record of a student’s law school performance.

“It will help the process because students won’t be under such great pressure [in their second year] to make their decision,” says Fletcher. Moreover, he notes, “judges will have two years of law school work [to review] and have more knowledgeable faculty recommendations in hand.”

Beyond the ClerkshipsOhio State law graduates are taking their clerkship experiences in different directions.

Jones, a clerk for Fletcher, will begin a clerkship in 2003 with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. She is the fi rst female Ohio State graduate to have a U.S. Supreme Court clerkship. Ray and his wife will leave Columbus in January for Johannesburg, South Africa, where he’ll work in the South African Constitutional Court. Sny-der has begun a second clerkship, serving with the Honorable Lavenski R. Smith, U.S. Court of Appeals Judge for the 8th Circuit for the coming year. Haynes has returned to the Moritz College of Law as a staff attorney in the Alternative Dispute Resolution program.

Meanwhile, judges see the value of their impact in their chambers. Moyer says over the past 15 years he’s seen a trend toward law schools directing their best students toward state courts. But whether at the state or federal level, a judicial clerkship is a route well chosen.

“It’s a very valuable path for the brightest students and a place to see virtually every issue,” Moyer says.

“I know it’s deepened our pool of qualifi ed candi-dates, and that benefi ts the court.”

Three individuals have joined the teaching ranks at the Moritz College of Law with the beginning of classes on August 19. Two were

named to chairs established by the late Michael E. Moritz ’61 while a third began his teaching career at Ohio State as an assistant professor.

Martha Chamallas, a nationally prominent scholar in employment discrimination, torts, and feminist legal theory, joined the faculty as the Robert J. Lynn Chair in Law, and nationally known race and poverty professor john a. powell was appointed to the Gregory H. Williams Chair in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Edward Lee

joined the faculty as an assistant professor. He will teach in the areas of copyright, intellectual property, international intel-lectual property, cyberspace law, and civil procedure.

Professor Chamallas came from the University of Pittsburgh where she had been a professor of law since 1994. An expert in

Title VII law, she has written extensively on race and gender discrimination in employment, cover-ing such topics as pay equity, tokenism, part-time work, sexual harassment, and job segregation. Her scholarly work has been printed in law reviews at the University of Michigan, University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, and the University of Southern California, among others.

A graduate of Tufts University, she received a juris doctor degree from Louisiana State Uni-versity where she graduated fi rst in her class and was editor-in-chief of the LSU Law Review. She clerked for the Honorable Charles Clark, then of the United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, before she started her teaching career as a faculty member at the LSU Law Center in 1976. From 1981 to 1994 she taught at the University of Iowa College of Law. Most recently, she held the Williams Chair at the University of Richmond in the spring of 2002. She has also been a visiting

professor at Washington University in St. Louis and at The Ohio State University.

Professor powell, who does not capitalize his name, is the founder of the Institute of Race and

Poverty at the University of Min-nesota. At Ohio State, he will direct the new Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in the Americas. He is a graduate of the University of California/Berkeley Law School and a 1978-1980 Post-graduate Human Rights Fellow at the University of Minnesota. He joined the University of Minneso-

ta Law School faculty in 1993 where he taught civil rights law, property law, and jurisprudence and was adjunct professor at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute.

From 1987 to 1993, he served as national legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union where he was instrumental in developing edu-cational adequacy theory. He also has taught at Columbia University School of Law, Harvard Law School, University of Miami School of Law, Ameri-can University, and the University of San Francisco School of Law.

Prior to joining the Ohio State faculty, Professor Lee was an instructor at Stanford Law School and the fi rst Supervising Attorney for the school’s Cen-

ter for Internet and Society (CIS). He currently serves as a special advisor to CIS, which is dedicated to the pursuit of the public inter-est in areas involving the intersec-tion of law and new technology. Before teaching, he was an associ-ate at Mayer, Brown, and Platt in Washington, D.C., specializing in appellate and trial litigation

and also clerked for Judge John Noonan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. A Cleveland-area native, he was an editor and co-chair of the books and commentaries offi ce of the Harvard Law Review during law school.

Faculty Promotions AnnouncedNoted criminal law scholar Josh-

ua Dressler has been named the Frank R. Strong Chair in Law. In addition, several individuals at the Moritz College have been promoted. Sharon L. Davies, Katherine H. Fed-erle, and Alan C. Michaels have all been named full professors.

An Ohio State faculty member since 2001, Dressler is consistently recognized as one of two or three leading authorities on criminal law in the U.S. He is the managing editor (with Professor Doug Berman) of the new Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law, a faculty-run, student-assisted

semi-annual journal. The fi rst issue will be released in the fall of 2003. (See page 12 for more information.)

The Frank R. Strong Chair was established in 2001 by the late Michael E. Moritz ’61 in honor of the late Frank R. Strong, dean of the col-lege from 1952 to 1965.

Davies joined the Moritz Collegeof Law in 1995 as an assistant profes-sor of law, quickly becoming associate professor of law in 1999. She special-izes in criminal law, police practices in criminal procedure, evidence, and race and the criminal law.

Federle joined the faculty at the Moritz College in 1998 as associate

professor and the director of the Justice for Chil-dren Project, an educational research program in which law students, under faculty supervision, rep-resent children as clients in the juvenile justice sys-tem. She continues to direct the Justice for Children Project and teaches in the areas of children in the law, family law, and criminal law.

“We want to publish a journal that criminaljustice scholars and professionals will look forward to reading and which will reward them for the effort,” says Professor Douglas A. Berman, fellow managing editor.

Each issue will include a symposium with a guest faculty editor who has responsibility to solicit manuscripts on the symposium topic. “We expect to invite scholars from around the world to serve in the editor role,” notes Dressler. He and Professor Sharon Davies will serve as co-guest editors for the fi rst volume.

A group of students will also assist with pro-duction of the journal. Led this year by third-year student and Columbus native Cheryl Collins, the students this fall will be helping to put together the permanent structure for the journal, including writing a constitution, establishing a publishing contract and publication methods, and outfi tting an offi ce space. Starting in the spring and in subse-quent years, the student staff will be involved with the more traditional journal work of assisting in the editing and polishing of manuscripts for fi nal publication.

“We think the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law will be a serious and valuable addition to the fi eld,” stresses Dressler.

If you’d like to receive a copy of Volume 1, Num-ber 1, Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law next fall, please send a request via e-mail to the journal’s address at crimlaw@osu.edu or contact Ann Brace, the journal’s secretary, at (614) 292-6829.

Criminal Law Journal Takes Shape

Moritz College of law. Faculty-edited and student-assisted, the fi rst issue of the semi-annual Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law will be published in fall 2003.

“The fi rst edition will consider the effects of the September 11 attacks on the criminal justice system,” says Joshua Dressler, the Frank R. Strong Chair in Law and one of two co-managing editors of the journal. “We intend to publish articles that look at the issue from substantive criminal law and procedural perspectives, as well as perhaps from an international perspective.”

The journal will serve as a home for high-quality serious scholarship of value to scholars, the judi-ciary, legislative policy makers, and lawyers through the publication of solicited articles focusing on particular topics of signifi cance and interest in the criminal justice fi eld.

It will also publish unsolicited lucid, provoca-tive refl ections and commentaries on the criminal law—its failures and successes, its strengths and weaknesses, its tragedies and comedies—that are short on footnotes but long on insight, according to Dressler.

Brief reviews of recent important literature and reports in the criminal justice fi eld may also be included, as will be high-quality essays written by students at the Moritz College.

Two recent graduates of the Moritz College of Law have been recognized with awards in prestigious writing contests.

Stephen Anway, a 2002 graduate, won the law student division in the 2002 Boskey Dispute Reso-

lution Essay Competition for Law and Graduate Students with his essay “Mediation in Copyright Disputes: From Compromise Created Incen-tives to Incentive Created Compromises.” The contest is sponsored by the American Bar Association Section of Dispute Resolution and the Association for Confl ict Resolution.

He also received top honors with the same arti-cle in the Nathan Burkan Copyright Competition.

Anway also was named a fi nalist in the Ross Student Writing Contest, co-sponsored by the ABA Journal board of editors and the ABA Sec-tion of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. He was recognized for “The Restoration of States’ Civil Rights Authority: An Alternative Approach to Expressive Association After Boy Scouts of America v. Dale,” a student note published in the Ohio State Law Journal. That article was also the winner of the Donald S. Teller Award, given to the student writing that contributed most signifi cantly to the Ohio State Law Journal.

Alyssa Shenk, also a 2002 Moritz College grad-uate, was awarded an honorable mention in the law student division of the Boskey Competition for her

essay, “Mandatory Employment Arbitration Agreements: The Key to Avoiding a Charge of

Unconscionability.”The Boskey Dispute Reso-

lution Essay Competition is designed to promote greater interest in and understanding of the fi eld of dispute resolu-tion and collaborative deci-sion-making among students enrolled in ABA-accredited law schools as well as students enrolled in graduate programs

both in the United States and abroad. The Ross Student Writing Contest is one of the

most lucrative legal writing competitions in the United States. Each year, a panel of legal profes-sionals chooses a winner to receive $7,500 and a trip to the ABA Annual Meeting. The contest is supported by a trust established more than 60 years ago by the late Judge Erskine M. Ross of Los Angeles.

Anway’s recognition is the second Ross Award in as many years for Ohio State law graduates. In 2001, Moritz College graduate, Matthew Silversten ’01, was also a fi nalist for “What’s Next for Wayne Dick,” a student note also published in the Ohio State Law Journal.

Anway, a native of Fairlawn, Ohio, is a judi-cial clerk for the Honorable Thomas J. Moyer ’64, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio. Shenk resides in Columbus.

Bernard V. Fultz ’55Returning the FavorThe generosity of a teacher in the mid-1940s has resulted in big dividends for students at the Moritz College of Law. Since 1999, Bernard V. Fultz ’55 has carried on the tradition begun by his grade school teacher with the establishment of the Bernard V. Fultz Family Scholarship Fund.

“I think with some large scholarships, [students] don’t realize that there are real people attached to these [awards],” says the Pomery, Ohio, attorney. “But when there are one or two people directly involved, that money can make a lasting impact on an individual, just as it did for me.”

Financial reasons prohibited Fultz from enrolling in college following his high school graduation in 1946—until his grade school teacher, Linda Thornton, found out. Knowing the young man had the potential to succeed, Thornton helped him enroll at Rio Grande University in southern Ohio and loaned him the money for his first quarter.

“I was shocked,” he says. “Though at the same time I was very appreciative.”Appreciative to the point that he reimbursed his teacher for the full amount,

something he remembers from signed receipt for his final payment, which is dated May 18, 1951. He had the receipt laminated and he keeps it in is office desk drawer.

“It’s almost worn out, but it’s always been very significant to me,” he says.Now he’s giving future students the same opportunity.“During the early 50s, I think it was about $160 a quarter or so at Ohio State,” he

chuckles. “But expenses are so high now, I feel fortunate enough to help in the small way that I can.” —Michael Shriner

Sara Gerhart WielandSupporting Stellar Students“I’m not an Ohio State graduate,” admits Sara Gerhart Wieland, “but I believe in Ohio State.” Her late husband, Robert R. Wieland, was a dual graduate (B.A. ’58 and J.D. ’60) and a long-time supporter of his alma mater, particularly the Moritz College of Law.

As a result, Mrs. Wieland, of Dayton, and her son, Chris, of Chicago, created the Robert R. Wieland Scholarship Fund at the law school in memory of their late husband and father.

It’s a fitting tribute to the man she met on a blind date in February of 1966 and married nearly 10 months later.

”He was a stellar student and leader at Ohio State,” notes Mrs. Wieland, “a consummate lawyer throughout his career, and a highly respected community leader.” When he died suddenly in 1994, Mrs. Wieland and her son decided the scholarship was the best way to honor him.

“We could think of no better tribute to Bob than to establish a scholarship in his memory,” she adds. “It would offer monetary support to a deserving upper-level law student who is an outstanding individual, an honorable leader, and an excellent student.”

But Mrs. Wieland has done more than contribute. She continues to be involved—adding funds to the scholarship and getting to know the recipients.

“That’s really fun,” she says. Over lunch or dinner, she’ll listen to the dreams and aspirations of the students and encourage them in their studies.

It’s something Bob, her spouse and partner for nearly 28 years, probably would have done, too. —Liz Cutler Gates

J. Gilbert Reese has just answered the phone in his light-fi lled offi ce just off the square in downtown Newark, Ohio. On the other end is Jerry May, vice

president for development at The Ohio State Uni-versity, who has called to thank the attorney for his recent $1.5 million gift to the Moritz College of Law.

The gift will enable the law school to hire a nationally known faculty member to teach in the area of contract law. Reese also hopes the gift will help raise the reputation of the school.

“If a number of people put their time, their money, and their thinking into trying to attract the right kind of professors, we’d begin to get national recognition because of the outstanding people working for us,” he tells May in his typical straight-forward fashion.

It is characteristic of Reese, a 1952 graduate of the Moritz College and Newark native, to see a

Raising Reputation, Meeting NeedsBy Liz Cutler Gates

need then act to meet that need. It’s something he’s been doing since the mid 1950s when he talked his grandmother and several of his cousins into donat-ing farmland to be used for Little League baseball fi elds south of Newark.

“The Little Leagues had been playing on fi elds on North 21st Street in front of the drive-in the-atre,” he recalls. “The drive-in was going out of business, and it wasn’t going to be available to the Little Leagues any more.”

Using the newly formed Licking County Foun-dation, Reese obtained the land from his grand-mother and several other family members, and it was leased to the Mound City Little League to con-struct baseball diamonds. “It’s been in their name ever since,” says Reese. “It’s a beautiful park and well run.”

That was the fi rst in what would become a life-time of seeing a need and quietly meeting it, most often through the purchase of property for use by an organization. Nearly every corner of the Licking County community has been touched by the gen-erosity of Reese and his family, most often through one of two foundations he oversees.

The Evans FoundationAn early client was also a good friend of his father, the late Everett D. Reese. Thomas J. Evans was a Newark pharmacist and a shareholder and director of Newark’s Park City Bank. Prior to his 1967 death, Evans asked the younger Reese to help him establish the Thomas J. Evans Foundation and ultimately operate the foundation.

“He left about $2 million,” recalls the Newark attorney. “I developed a philosophy that I thought would please him,” he adds. Reese looks for what he calls “seed capital projects” that will help an organi-zation but won’t put a strain on the group’s operat-ing budget.

“It’s different,” he admits. “Most foundations take in grant applications and have committees which analyze them.”

“There are some things that the community needs that just aren’t ordinary.”

He also looks for the unusual: “There are some things that the community needs that just aren’t ordinary. They aren’t within the Red Cross. They aren’t in the United Way. They aren’t in the Boy Scouts.”

He cites the example of the bicycle and recre-ational trails that wind their way through the city of Newark and Licking County. For nearly fi ve years he says he worked to purchase the former railroad right-of-ways that were used for the fi rst trails.

“If I hadn’t had a feeling that this might be something unique, it would have been gone and all that land would have passed back to the farmers,” he recalls.

“Something unique” is an understatement. The bike trails date to the mid-1980s, total more than 32 miles, and nearly span the Central Ohio county east to west. When a three-mile section of trail is com-plete this year in Newark (it is being built with state transportation funds), one will be able to travel across the county from Johnstown, in the west, to Dresden, in the east, without getting on a road. In the city, where Reese and the Evans Foundation are responsible for 11.5 miles, the trails traverse along State Route 16 through the Newark Campus of The Ohio State University. A child (or anyone else, for that matter) can get on the trail and bicycle or walk to the YMCA, the Evans Ice Rink, or a department store on the north end of town without crossing a street, according to Terry Frame, director of the Newark Parks and Recreation Department.

“If it wasn’t for Mr. Reese, the trail along State Route 16 wouldn’t have been built,” adds Frame, who has been director of the department for nearly 15 years. “People have come from all over to ride that trail, and they say it is one of the prettiest in the state,” he adds.

Of the 26 miles of bike trails maintained by the Licking County Park District, more than 21 were developed at the initiative of Reese. His involve-ment has been vital to the program, says Russ Edgington, executive director of the district. “The important thing is having someone step up to the plate and secure the corridor,” he notes. “When the railroads abandon these right-of-ways, the corridor is often lost.”

The bike trails are just the tip of the iceberg. Reese has been involved with numerous projects around Newark and Licking County. They range from a building for Big Brothers/Big Sisters to the historic renovation of the Pennsylvania Railroad depot. An estimated $750,000 alone has been spent to purchase properties for downtown revitalization in Newark.

The Ohio State University, Newark CampusReese and Newark businessman Howard LeFevre stepped up to the plate when it came to offering higher education opportunities for the citizens of Licking County in the late 1950s.

“I don’t think people understood that if you lived in Columbus, you had three or four or fi ve dif-ferent schools you could choose from,” says Reese. “To get there, all you had to do was put a nickel in the slot and get on the trolley and you could go to school.”

That was not the case in Newark, the Licking county seat that boasted a population of 35,000 in the late 50s. “We’ve got to make opportunities avail-able, approximately equal, to children all over the state, and not just to children who live in large cities or come from well-to-do families,” he stresses.

Beginning in 1957, the Newark Campus of The Ohio State University began offering classes. Within 10 years, the present campus on the west side of the city was developed through a community fund drive and state appropriations. Central Ohio Tech-nical College (COTC), a two-year degree-granting institution, was chartered in 1971 to meet the needs for technology training in the region, and joined Ohio State on the shared campus on University Drive. Thousands have benefi ted from the campus, which is the largest of the four regional Ohio State campuses and regularly enrolls nearly 4,500 stu-dents a year at both Ohio State and COTC.

Reese, who is now a trustee emeritus at the cam-pus and serves on the Ohio Board of Regents, has been an integral part of it all. Gay Jackson, director of development for the Newark Campus, lists the projects that have been touched by Reese and his family: the initial campus development, the Newark Campus Development Fund (Reese still chairs the fund’s board), and the Martha Grace Reese Amphi-theatre (named for his mother). He was the honor-ary chair of the recent campaign to build a new facility on the Licking County campus. The new $15 million building, scheduled to open next Sep-tember, will be named in his honor—by action of the university Board of Trustees.

“He has been incredibly important to all of Lick-ing County,” says Jackson, who has served at the Newark campus for nearly fi ve years. “Any way you look to better the community, the Reeses are there doing it.”

Four new National Council members began fi ve-year terms at the September 27 meeting. They join a group of 75 alumni who return

to the college biannually to provide advice and counsel to Dean Rogers on a variety of substantive topics.

Ford Huffman’s connections to the college are long and deep. He is a second-generation law alum-nus. His father, Bruce C. Huffman ’50, named Ford after Jefferson B. Fordham, dean of the college from 1947 to 1952. In law school, Ford served as editor-in-chief of the Ohio State Law Journal and graduated in 1980. He clerked for the Honorable Max Rosenn of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit before entering private practice.

Ford is partner-in-charge of the Jones, Day, Rea-vis, and Pogue Columbus offi ce and coordinator of the litigation group. He practices in the area of general litigation and has extensive experience in insurance regulation and practice, product liability, and bankruptcy litigation.

Active in the community, he has served as a trustee for the Council for Ethics in Economics, Columbus Bar Foundation, Columbus Symphony Orchestra, and the Greater Columbus Convention Center and Visitors Bureau. He is also active in the Ohio Business Roundtable and Wexner Center for the Arts.

Reginald S. Jackson Jr. earned both B.A. and J.D. degrees from The Ohio State University. He entered private practice upon graduation from law school in 1971 and, in 1976, was appointed an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio where he tried complex business and criminal cases. In 1978, he was a founder of the Toledo fi rm now known as Connelly, Jackson, and Collier LLP.

A leader within the bar, Reg is a past president of both the Ohio State Bar Association and the Toledo Bar Association. He is also a member of the American Bar Association, currently serving in the House of Delegates. He has also served on the Supreme Court of Ohio Special Committee on Professionalism.

From 1976 to 1989, Reg was on the faculty of the University of Toledo College of Law, teaching trial practice. He has also been a lecturer at seminars hosted by the Ohio State and Toledo Bar Associa-tions as well as the Toledo Chapter of the Society of Certifi ed Public Accountants and the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers.

Joyce Link is a partner with Bricker and Eckler LLP with a litigation practice emphasizing general business and commercial litigation in the areas of contract, banking, insurance, shareholder disputes, real estate, higher education, and employment discrimination. In 1996, she was appointed by the Ohio Attorney General as special counsel to Central State University during its ultimately successful fi nancial recovery.

Joyce received a law degree in 1983 from The Ohio State University where she earned moot court oralist honors. She is a former Columbus assistant city attorney and a former assistant attorney general for the State of Ohio.

Active in the national, state, and local bar asso-ciations, she is vice president of the American Bar Association Life Insurance Law Committee and chair of the Columbus Bar Association Judiciary Committee. In 1999, she was the recipient of the Black Women of Courage Award.

Lou Ann Yardley Moritz and her husband, the late Michael E. Moritz ’61, have been longtime friends of Ohio State. Their 43-year partnership began when they met at the university in 1957. After Lou Ann earned her certifi cate in dental hygiene at Ohio State, the couple married in 1959, and Lou Ann worked as a dental hygienist while Mike fi nished law school. Within a year of Mike’s passing the bar exam, the couple began their fam-ily which came to include Ann, Jeffrey, and twins, Molly and Catherine.

Lou Ann and Mike have been active advocates on behalf of the university for many years. The couple’s generous history of giving to Ohio State includes the creation of the Moritz Family M.B.A. Scholarship at the Fisher College of Business and support for the Wexner Center for the Arts, the Department of Athletics, and WOSU Stations. In 2001, they made the largest single gift in Ohio State history: a $30 million gift to the College of Law that created four endowed chairs; the Michael E. Moritz Merit Scholars Program, providing full tuition and a stipend to 30 law students annually; and the Gregory H. Williams Dean’s Fund for Excellence, named for the former dean of the college. In recog-nition, the college was named the Michael E. Moritz College of Law. Today, Lou Ann serves on The Ohio State University Foundation Board and the Board of the Homeless Families Foundation. She resides in Dublin, Ohio, and Johns Island, South Carolina.
