National Survey Needs Your Input
Your personal perspective can make a difference
Keep
an eye on your Southwestern in-box - This spring, all Southwestern
students will be receiving an email invitation from Dean Garth to participate in the Law School
Survey of Student Engagement (LSSSE).
Co-sponsored
by the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) and the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the LSSSE survey is
designed to collect information about student behaviors and law school
environments throughout the country to help law faculty and administrators focus attention and
resources in ways that will enhance student learning and law school
effectiveness. It provides law schools with information they can use
almost immediately to improve various aspects of their performance and
help students get the most out of their law school experience.
According
to Dean Garth, who chairs the LSSSE Advisory Board, "I have been
pleased to work with LSSSE for several years, and I think it is a nice
tool generally to help law schools improve in a variety of ways. I
encourage all of our students to participate as I am optimistic that we
can use the survey results to understand and improve legal education
and student life at Southwestern."
The survey poses questions
regarding how students organize their time, what they feel they've
gained from their classes, their assessment of interactions with
faculty, staff and peers, and their involvement in campus activities.
Students complete the survey online through a secure website.
Your
input will provide valuable information to assist Southwestern in improving and enhancing your
law school experience and best ensure the success of all Southwestern
students. More information for students about the LSSSE is available
online.

Southwestern Takes Top Prize in Two Moot Court Competitions
Earlier
this month, Southwestern became the unofficial king of moot court in
the nation's capital, taking first place in the National
Telecommunications Competition and the Wechsler Moot Court Competition,
both of which were held in Washington D.C. More.
Essay Earns Student a Seat at the Grammys
Aaron
Power, a third-year day student, found himself rubbing elbows with the
likes of Paul Simon and Neil Young during Grammy Week, having been
chosen a finalist in the Grammy Foundation's Entertainment Law
Initiative essay contest. Power’s essay, "A Fair Use Defense of
Mashups," was one of four finalist papers. The selection scored him
$1,500, and the chance to attend not only the Grammy ceremony on
February 9, but a series of VIP events in the days leading up to the big
show, including a MusicCares fundraiser in which several songwriting
legends paid tribute to James Taylor. "I saw Bruce Springsteen play
three times in two days," Power gushed.
He recalled
learning about the contest last year from Professor Robert Lind, but
passed on it, feeling too busy to enter. This year, having already
written a 15,000-word essay for Southwestern Law Review, he
decided to pare it down to the required 3,000 words for the contest.
His paper argued that "mashups" - a relatively new pop music phenomenon
created entirely by using two pre-existing works - are legitimate,
since they are more in line with a parody than traditional sampling.
Power said that while many law students feel they don’t have time to
enter writing contests, it's worth the effort. "If you think about what
you write for a seminar paper, 3,000 words isn’t a lot," he said. "If
you’ve already got an idea, it can be done pretty quickly." And
regardless of whether you win or lose, "It's good writing experience,"
said Power.
Information about essay competitions may always be found online.
FACULTY
Southwestern Welcomes Two Visiting Scholars for the Spring Semester
Professor Carrie Menkel-Meadow,
A.B. Chettle, Jr. Professor of Dispute Resolution and Civil Procedure
and Director of the Georgetown-Hewlett Program in Conflict Resolution
and Legal Problem Solving at Georgetown University Law Center, will be
spending her sabbatical at Southwestern this spring as a visiting
scholar. This past September, Professor Menkel-Meadow participated as a
featured speaker at the Investiture of Dean Garth.
A pioneering
legal educator and scholar in the burgeoning field of alternative
dispute resolution, as well as civil procedure and legal ethics,
Professor Menkel-Meadow joined the faculty at Georgetown University Law
Center in 1996 after teaching at the University of California, Los
Angeles School of Law for 20 years. In 2005, she was named as the
inaugural A.B. Chettle, Jr. Professor in Dispute Resolution and Civil
Procedure, one of the most prestigious faculty honors at Georgetown.
She has also taught law at Stanford and Harvard universities, among
other law schools, and is the author of several books and over 100
articles on subjects ranging from dispute and conflict resolution,
negotiation, mediation, legal procedure, legal theory, legal ethics,
feminist theory, law and popular culture and legal education.
Southwestern
is also hosting Professor Fernando Basch this semester as a Fulbright
Scholar and this year’s winner of the Genaro Carrió Fellowship.
Professor Basch is a junior professor in both criminal law and legal
philosophy at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, where he works closely
with Dr. Edmundo Hendler, a leading comparative criminal law scholar.
He is also an advisor on Constitutional and Criminal Law issues at the
Argentine Congress, on the staff of two of Argentina’s leading
political reformers, Elisa Carrió and Adrian Perez. He is a 2001
graduate of the Universidad de Buenos Aires and is presently also
engaged in graduate studies at both the Universidad de Buenos Aires and
the Universidad de Palermo. In February 2005 he spent several weeks at
Yale Law School on its Linkage Exchange Program, and he is the author
of several articles on criminal law.
Professor Basch was
selected to come to Southwestern after a nationwide competition
organized by the Argentine Fulbright Commission, and was selected by a
panel made up of Professor Owen Fiss (Yale), Juan Mendez (Special
Advisor to the United Nations on the Prevention of Genocide) and Hector
Mairal (Universidad de Buenos Aires and partner at Marval, O’Farrell
& Mairal). He is the seventh Genaro Carrió Fellow to be selected to
spend a semester at Southwestern. Professor Basch will be participating
in classes in the Criminal Law and Constitutional Law areas and will
serve as a valuable comparative law resource for students and
faculty.

wonderful experience, and it will mean so much to those who live there."
The
local Ronald McDonald House is at 4560 Fountain Avenue in Los Angeles.
A personal tour of the house will be provided the night of the dinner.
For more information or to RSVP for head count purposes, contact Heidi

Q: What examples of your own experiences in the field do you share with your students?
A:
Far too many to enumerate, but a common example involves the fact that
clients have a far better sense of how well their attorneys are
performing on their behalf than most lawyers think they do.
Q: Of all the publications you have written, what has been your favorite to research and write, and why?
A: My Calculated Chaos
book, as it provided me the opportunity to discover the most important
thing about writing: to explore and learn about something I hadn't
fully understood before. Writing that does not better inform the writer
is both a drudgery and waste of time.
Q: What would you want your students to walk away from your classroom with, if it could only be one thing?
A:
A willingness to question - without fear of the consequences -
everything they have learned, regardless of how sacred such knowledge
may be regarded by themselves or others.
Q: What is one misconception about a law school professor you feel students have?
A: That we have the capacity to give them definitive answers to any legal question, and that we hide such answers from them.
Q: What has been the most memorable experience you have had as a professor?
A:
Having an entire seminar class stay for about an hour-and-a-half after
the class was to have ended to continue discussing a topic; having
students proposing the continuation of the seminar even after the
semester has ended.
Q: What is something you know now as a professor that you wish you knew as a law student?
A:
How the learning process depends upon a continuing improvement in the
quality of questions, and not in getting definitive answers. My
favorite quotation is from Milton Mayer: "The questions that can be
answered aren’t worth asking."
Q: What is your favorite memory of your law school experience?
A: How much my learning was facilitated by the thinking and questioning provided by my fellow students.
Q: What was your favorite course in law school and why?
A:
"Reasoning and the Law" seminars (two of them) offered by Prof. Malcolm
Sharp at the University of Chicago Law School. These seminars dealt
with topics tangential to the study of law (e.g., "epistemology," and
"utopian systems") using materials from philosophy, the sciences,
literature, psychology, jurisprudence, etc., that reinforced my
original purposes in going to law school (i.e., for intellectual
development, not simply for trade-school training).
Q: What have YOU learned from your students while teaching law?
A:
No matter how frustrated they become with the Socratic method, almost
all trust my purposes in using it. I have also learned, from them, that
trusting in uncertainty is important for both students and instructors.
Q: What is your favorite law-themed novel, movie or television show?
A:
I must include three movies (in no order of importance): "Judgment at
Nuremburg," "Inherit the Wind," and "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Q: If you were stranded on an island, what three books would you want to have with you?
A: An unabridged dictionary, a thesaurus, and an historical atlas.
Q: When you were a young child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A: A writer and director of radio dramatic programs (I once fashioned myself another Orson Wells).

"W.A.Y." - Who Are You & Why Are You here?
This Month - Jennifer Turner, 1st-Year SCALE Student
"I
always do everything as fast as I can," said Jennifer Turner, a
first-year SCALE student. Indeed, the Wilmington, Delaware native's
highly charged style has already enabled her to squeeze decades’ worth
of achievements and experiences into her young life. In between her
political science studies at the University of Delaware, Turner found
time to volunteer on various political campaigns, where she developed a
passion for politics. After graduating, she took a marketing job at
MBNA America Bank, a Fortune 500 company, but soon relocated to Orange
County after being chosen to help start a new bank branch there.
Following four years at the company (which she described as "corporate
boot camp"), politics came knocking in the form of a job offer from
Senator John Edwards to work on his presidential campaign in Iowa.
"We
had a great run because we were the underdogs," Turner recalled of the
campaign, in which Edwards surprised many by coming in third in the
Iowa caucuses. When Edwards joined presidential hopeful Senator John
Kerry’s ticket, Turner and her boyfriend started a political action
committee to help raise funds for the pair in Orange County - which is
not exactly known as a bastion of liberalism. But after a frenetic
four-month effort that involved house parties, door-to-door canvassing,
and tens of thousands of bumper stickers, Turner's committee managed to
raise $60,000 in small donations.
Though the campaign was
unsuccessful, it did provide Turner with a new direction for her life.
She decided to pursue law thanks to the inspiration of Edwards, who’d
made his name as a trial attorney, as well as Orange County Democratic
Party Chairman Frank Barbero, also a trial attorney. "They’re there to
fight for people who don’t have a voice," she said. "They go out of
their way to take cases for people who have been wronged. That’s what
made me decide to go to law school."
Turner was lured by the
accelerated pace of Southwestern's SCALE program, which, after just one
semester, she says has proven invaluable. "The professors are killer,"
she said. "They have really just exceeded all the expectations I had."
Recently selected for the law school's ITAP team, Turner is also
juggling her role as Secretary of the Democratic Party of Orange
County. After receiving her J.D., she hopes to practice personal injury
and medical malpractice law in Orange County, targeting prescription
drug companies whose products have caused injury to consumers.
