Dean Rennard Strickland
As a dean, there are weeks?even months?when I
feel more like a panhandler than a legal educator. A
very substantial part of my first two and a half years at
Oregon were spent looking friends and alums in the
eye trying to get into their pockets. And as our new
building proudly demonstrates, a substantial number
opened up their hearts as well as their wallets, purses
and stock portfolios. Our alums and friends did what a
lot of folks thought impossible?raising the money to
finish paying for the new Knight Law Center.
There were months on end when I felt people were
running in the other direction when they saw me
coming. During this time, I was constantly reminded of
a story told by Ethel Krepps, one of the first Kiowa
Indian lawyers. Ethel reports one Indian?s response to
the fundraising of the white missionaries.
   ?We are truly grateful for all that
this represents?or the continued vote
of confidence in what a first quality
law school means to the state and to
the profession.?
DEAN?S MESSAGE
Once after a church service the missionaries asked
for a collection as they always did. One old Kiowa man
stood up and pulled some change from his pocket and
looked at it long and hard. He seemed reluctant to give
up his last bit of money. Old Mookeen stood there and
squared his shoulders and spoke to one of the mission-
aries in broken English, ?Whatza matter this Jesus?he
all time broke??
I am sure many of you feel this way when you get
our newsletter, a brochure about an upcoming event
and notes from your class agent or the alumni associa-
tion. I hope you also know that your positive response
creates ?the margin of excellence? that makes the
University of Oregon one of the great state law schools.
Our strong programs in law and entrepreneurship,
international environmental law, legal research and
writing, and ADR would not be possible without
private support.
The purpose of this column is to say ?thank you? to
all of you who gave to the building campaign, to the
annual giving campaign, to the alumni association, to
our special scholarship efforts and to a dozen or so
other student programs, support drives and even the
bake and Indian taco sales. Gifts to the law school this
last year ranged from the multi-million dollar bequest
of Dean Emeritus Orlando John Hollis to a transforma-
tional ADR program underwriting to substantial
additions to named scholarships to a basketball from a
first year law student with a whole lot of support in
between. We are deeply grateful to all of our donors.
We have alumni donors we are working with to
help finish their million
dollars of gifting and
others we are helping
provide tax opportuni-
ties to support them-
selves and their families
while creating a nest egg
for the law school. We
also have substantial
donors who cannot
afford large sums who
contribute twenty-five or
fifty or a hundred
dollars. We are truly
grateful for all that this
represents?for the continued vote of confidence in what
a first quality law school means to the state and to the
profession.
An equally important part of this thanksgiving
message is to show our appreciation to those who help
us out in ways that go beyond dollars. There are
important and diverse ways our alums and friends
donate to the law school. These extend far beyond
dollars and cents. Time and reputation are, in many
ways, the greatest contributions you make to the
University of Oregon School of Law. These include: the
high level of professionalism that you demonstrate in
your daily practice, the mentoring you do with high
school and college students who are considering law
school, help with our annual fund, or serving as class
agent, speaking to a student roundtable, attending one
of our Twenty-First Century Law School Forums. These
donations also make a difference?a very real difference.
Remembering your days as a student, you should
be able to recall important interaction you had with the
bench and bar. Each year our supporters judge a
number of moot court, advocacy, trial practice and
other competitors.
Others serve as mentors in both formal and
informal programs. Recently, the Alumni Association?s
Portland Program has been cited as a model. Further-
more, we have graduates who work with students on
professionalism and mock interviews as well as actual

The Many Gifts of Alumni and Friends
FALL 2000                      3
Many Gifts
   University of Oregon School of Law graduate
Gary Galton, ?70, feels so strongly about the importance
of including alternatives to litigation in legal education
that he donated seed money to establish a new program
at his alma mater.
   Galton, a labor lawyer from Lake Oswego, along
with his wife, Anne Marie, donated money to the UO
School of Law to establish the new Appropriate Dispute
Resolution (ADR) Program.
Started this summer, the new program will expand
upon previous ADR offerings at the law school and
educate students about various ways in which disputes
can be resolved, including negotiation, mediation,
arbitration and litigation.
   ?I often prevailed in court for my clients, but I
began to question, what were they really ?winning??
When I considered the expense, lost opportunities, time
spent and damaged relationships, it was clear there had
to be a better way,? says Galton, who also operates a
mediation practice in Palm Desert, California.
   The UO law school has been incorporating
courses in Appropriate Dispute Resolution into its
curriculum for many years and at one time operated a
federally funded mediation clinic.
The Galton gift will provide more comprehensive
and consistent ADR offerings that will be integrated
into the traditional law school curriculum. Interested
faculty will receive financial support and consultation
Gift from Galton to Support ADR
with ADR experts to incorporate ADR issues effectively
into their courses.
 The program will cover process options, strategies
and skills in a broad array of legal areas including
business, torts, family, labor, real estate, intellectual
property, public planning and policy, and community
and international relations.
   ?I am very grateful to the Galtons, our faculty
and administrators, for helping us establish the ADR
program,? says Lisa Kloppenberg, an associate profes-
sor of law who directs the ADR program. ?This will
enable us to train students to be creative problem
solvers who will be able to generate many options to
resolve disputes early and effectively.?
    ADR is a rapidly growing area of legal practice.
The UO law school recently helped train mediators for
the Environmental Mediation Pilot program involving
the U.S. District Court for Oregon, the Western Justice
Foundation and the U.S. Institute for Environmental
Conflict Resolution.
The law school?s task force for the 21st century also
received a significant amount of input from legal
practitioners and the community at large about the
need for alternatives to litigation in legal education.
   ?ADR is one of the most important developments
in the legal world today,? says Michael Hogan, chief
judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of
Oregon. ?It is wonderful to see the UO law school
increase its teaching and research in this area to im-
prove the problem-solving skills of lawyers.?
   The Galton family has a history of giving to the
UO law school. Gary Galton?s father, Herb Galton, is a
1938 graduate of the law school who established a UO
scholarship that Gary later supplemented.
Gary Galton also serves on the law school Board of
Visitors and volunteered his time as a guest lecturer at
the school.
   ?This is a particularly meaningful gift because the
Galtons have given to the law school in many ways,
including their time, ideas and long-term support,?
says Rennard Strickland, UO law school dean.
   Associate Profesor Lisa Kloppenberg  has been
named director of the program.
   The first ADR Conference will be held Nov. 10
and 11 in conjunction with Alumni Weekend to kick off
the new program. CLE credits will be available. Judge
Dorothy Nelson of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will
be featured as keynote speaker. The event will be part
of a legal conference highlighting current ADR issues.

law school job interviews. We regularly call upon our
friends to help in admissions by talking with applicants
who are choosing between law schools. Currently, we
have a group who are working on the Twenty-First
Century Task Force preparing an analysis of how we
can make our programs worthy of Oregon?s history,
tradition and new facility.
In short, you support and honor this law school by
being a true and trustworthy member of the profession,
of the family of law. This makes us thankful that we are,
for so many of you, your other mother. And you, in
turn, are as Judge Matthew Deady noted in 1884, on the
opening day of our law school, ?the keepers of the
conscience of the country.? It is for that, above all, that
we say ?thank you.?

Orlando John Hollis, the man
who served the School of Law as
dean, professor, mentor and legal
leader for 70 years, died March 1,
2000, at the age of 95. His death left
behind a vacuum, felt by those who
knew him over the decades, and a
legacy that will have an impact for
decades to come.
?He was always weighty in his
thought and speech,? noted Gene
Scoles, who followed Hollis as dean
in 1968. ?He was a person who
prodded everyone around him to be
intellectually honest. He made the
School of Law noted for its rigor
and quality.?
Hollis was born August 20,
1904, in Eugene. In 1928 he gradu-
ated from the University of Oregon
School of Law and joined the law
school faculty the following year. In
1945 he became dean of the Law
School, where he served until
stepping down in 1967.
During those 38 years, Hollis
earned the reputation as a tough but
revered and beloved professor and
dean, not unlike the character
created by actor John Houseman in
?The Paper Chase,? Scoles said.
?He had a fa?ade of formality
and rigidity, but on a person-to-
person basis he was charming and a
great help to his students,? Scoles
added. ?He was an interesting
person to follow.?
Another former dean, current
UO President Dave Frohnmayer,
also remembered Dean Hollis with
fondness and respect.
?In his long time here,?
Frohnmayer said, ?Orlando Hollis
brought an insistence on excellence,
inculcated a deeper sense of the
law?s vital role in society, and set an
example of leadership and friend-
ship that will be a hard act to
follow. His legacy, indeed, is as one
of the giants of the University of
Oregon School of Law.?
His primary legacy remains the
Former Dean Hollis leaves Rich Legacy
Dean Orlando Hollis
?He was a person
who prodded
everyone around
him to be
intellectually
honest.?
hundreds upon hundreds of UO
law graduates who have entered the
legal profession, serving not only
their own professional needs, but
also the needs of the public in a
variety of legal and community
services.
A second legacy is the large
part of his estate that he earmarked
for the law school. While the exact
amount remains unknown, it will
make a significant impact on the
school, reports Matt Roberts,
assistant dean for external relations.
?We are told,? Roberts adds,
?that the Hollis estate, once out of
probate, will be dedicated to the
creation of a named Chair for the
Law School and creation of a Law
School scholarship endowment for
third year law students.?
Public service also was a
priority to Hollis, as he served on
the Eugene Water and Electric
Board for nearly a decade, begin-
ning in 1931, and was secretary of
the local Selective Service board
from 1940 until 1946.
Active in the Eugene Chamber
of Commerce, he was Chamber
president twice, in 1948 and 1949.
He served on the Chamber?s
aviation committee and champi-
oned aviation interests, including
construction of the new Eugene
airport that was completed in 1990.
In 1980, the Eugene Chamber
honored him with its First Citizen
award. In 1997 a road to the airport
was named in his honor.
After leaving the school he
practiced law with a Eugene firm
for several years.
He also served as chair of the
Governor?s Commission on Judicial
Reform from 1971 to 1975. From
1974 to 1976, he served on the
Oregon State Bar Board of Gover-
nors.
His wife, Marian, died in 1998.
The School of Law?s Roundtable
Lunches, now in its eighth year, again
proved highly successful and popular
with law students last year.
The programs are informal
discussions between small numbers
of students and a featured guest.
Speakers for 1999?2000 were:
Mary Ann Bearden ?78, Don
Bowerman, Don Costello, Carol
Emory, Nadine Faith ?89, Jimmy Go
?81, Helen Hempel ?91, Paul Loving

Rennard Strickland, dean and Knight Professor at the University of
Oregon School of Law, received the St. Thomas More Award for lifetime
contributions to the legal profession. The award is given annually by St.
Mary?s School of Law in San Antonio, Texas, for ?a national achievement by
an outstanding citizen to legal education, the legal profession or to govern-
ment.? Strickland is the 40th recipient.
Previous recipients include the late Leon Jawarski, Watergate special
prosecutor; the late Archibald Cox, who served as U.S. solicitor general,
Watergate special prosecutor and Harvard law professor; Sister Helen
Prejean, anti-death penalty activist and author of Dead Man Walking;
Gabrielle Kirk McDonald, chief judge at the International War Crimes
Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia; Erwin Griswold, former dean of the
Harvard Law School and solicitor general of the United States; and retired
Gen. Alexander Haig, former U.S. Secretary of State.
The only Oregonian to receive the award previously was Eugene Scoles,
professor and dean emeritus of the UO School of Law.
In addition, Strickland was chosen in May to serve as a delegate to the
first-ever International Conference on Legal Education. Strickland was
chosen as one of 50 delegates from 30 countries, 15 of whom are from the
United States.
The conference took place May 24-27 in Florence, Italy, and was the first
international conference of legal educators with the goal of studying and
comparing the educational process for teaching law. Strickland, who
attended the conference as a representative of the Law School Admission
Council, spoke about ?Creating Opportunity: Admissions in U.S. Legal
Education.? The conference is sponsored by the Association of American
Law Schools as part of its centennial year celebration.
?This was an exciting opportunity to represent the U.S. and the Univer-
sity of Oregon at a gathering that brought together great legal minds for the
purpose of discussing international cooperation in legal education,? says
Strickland.
Strickland is a leading authority on Native American law and the first
person in legal education to have served as both president of the Association
of American Law Schools and chair of the Law School Admission Council.
He became dean of the UO School of  Law in 1997. He has been actively
involved in the resolution of a number of significant Indian cases and issues
including fishing rights, tribal constitutions, gaming, cross-deputization of
tribal law enforcement officers and tribal court actions.
Strickland Honored by More Award,
named as Delegate to Conference
Former Oregon Chief Justice
Kenneth O?Connell, who joined the
faculty of the UO School of Law in
1935, died February 18, after a long
illness. He was 90.
O?Connell, a highly regarded
jurist and legal scholar who during
his career directed the substantial
revamping of Oregon law, was born
December 18, 1906, in Bayfield,
Wisconsin. He graduated with degrees
from the University of Wisconsin Law
School in 1933 and 1934.
In 1958, he was appointed by
Oregon Governor Robert Holmes to a
vacancy on the Oregon State Supreme
Court and afterwards was elected to
three full six-year terms, serving the
last as chief justice, until retiring in
1977. During the 1950s and 1960s,
O?Connell earned distinction for his
service to the commissions that
revised the state constitution and
produced the Oregon Revised Stat-
utes.
He also received numerous
awards during his career, including
the UO?s Distinguished Service Award
in 1967, the law school?s Meritorious
Service Award in 1985, and a distin-
guished service award in support of
civil liberties from the American Civil
Liberties Union of Oregon.
He is survived by his wife, Esther,
two sons, two stepsons and a step-
daughter.

Close to 300 runners raised
more than $6000 in the first annual
Tom Foster Fun Run on April 22.
Dedicated to the life of Foster, a
third-year law student who died on
December 21, 1999, the race helped
endow a scholarship in Foster?s
honor.
Foster, 28 when he died, was
executive director of the Journal of
Environmental Law and Litigation,
worked for the dean of the School of
Law and was an active participant
in patent moot court.
But more than anything,
according to friends and family, he
enjoyed life. Running daily was a
part of that enjoyment.
?He loved life. He never
wanted to have any regrets about
anything,? friend and running
partner Matt Mattson told an
Oregon Daily Emerald reporter
shortly after Foster died. ?He
wanted to live every day to the
fullest. Running went along with
his love for life; he loved the feeling
he?d get after a long run.?
The five-kilometer race was
held on the pathways that run along
the north side of the Willamette
River near Autzen Stadium.
Fun Run Dedicated to Tom Foster
Runners cross the finish line in a run raising money for a scholarship in the name of their
classmate who exemplified the spirit of life.
Those wishing to contribute to
the Tom Foster Scholarship should

law, (541) 346-3800.
Roberts to Manage External Relations
Matt Roberts, most recently
director of the University of
Oregon?s Annual Giving Program,
has been named the law school?s
new assistant dean for external
relations. In the position, Roberts
will be responsible for managing
the school?s comprehensive
fundraising and alumni relations
programs, board relations, alumni
events and program development.
?While replacing Jane (former
Director of Development Jane Gary)
will be impossible,?says Dean
Rennard Strickland, ?we are
confident that Matt brings experi-
ence and dedication to this job that
will enable him to build on the
foundation Jane created. We
conducted a
national
search and
believe we
found the
best appli-
cant.?
?I?m
excited by
the chal-
lenge and
opportunity here at the School of
Law,? Roberts says. ?Building
closer ties with alumni, increasing
our fundraising and finding
creative ways to improve the
school, head my priorities.?
Prior to Roberts? work at
Annual Giving, he served the
university as assistant to the
provost for development.
His background in develop-
ment began in 1993 after he left a
career in television market research
in Los Angeles and moved to
Eugene, serving as director of
marketing and development for
both the Eugene Ballet Company
and the Oregon Festival of Ameri-
can Music.
Roberts has a B.A. in Commu-
nications Studies from the Univer-
sity of California, Santa Barbara,
and did work in the Telecommuni-
cations M.A. program at San Diego
State University.

Editor?s note: We take this opportuntiy
to look at the careers of four retirees
from the law school.
MARY LAWRENCE
Associate Professor and
Director of the Legal Research and
Writing Program at the University
of Oregon, Mary Lawrence, retired
in May 2000 after an illustrious 22-
year career teaching in and admin-
istering the program.
Lawrence was born in Scotland
and attended the University of St.
Andrews from 1949?51. She later
attended Michigan State University
where she received her B.A. (En-
glish) in 1960 and M.A. (English) in
1962. After receiving her M.A. she
began her teaching career as a
writing specialist. She taught
English and English as a Second
Language at Ohio University, the
University of Pittsburgh, and St.
Mary?s College (Indiana) during
1963?1967. She was the Coordinator
of Writing Classes for the English
Language Institute at the University
of Michigan from 1967?74 when she
left to attend the UO Law School,
receiving her J.D. in 1977. Her book,
?Writing as a Thinking Process?
(University of Michigan Press, 2d
Ed 1996) is a highly regarded text
for English as a Second Language.
LRW was her second teaching
career.
Lawrence was appointed
Director of the Program in 1978. In
founding the current program she
created one of the first programs in
the nation that employed full-time
instructors who were law gradu-
ates. This is now the model nation-
wide. She received the Award for
Distinguished Service to the
Profession from the American Law
Schools Association (AALS) Section
on Legal Writing, Reasoning &
Research in 1996. At the Legal
Writing Institute at the University
of Seattle, on July 20, 2000, she was
the first recipient of the Rombauer
Award from the Association of
Legal Writing Directors. The
meeting included more than 300
LRW professionals and the award
was, in Mary?s words, ?the best
thing that ever happened to me
professionally.?
She likewise had an enormous
effect on some of the teachers who
worked in her program, as well as
the thousands of students who
studied under her guidance.
Although she has retired from
the Directorship of the LRW
Program she continues to work in
the field. Along with Paul Benecke,
an instructor in the LRW Program,
she has a contract with Lexis
Publishing for an on-line electronic
text book focusing on legal analysis
and titled ?How to Read and
Analyze the Law.? It is due to be
available on-line in early 2001.
Lawrence has also co-authored
an article with Brendon Baxter for
the fall 2000 issue of the ABA
periodical, Experience. She continues
to work on projects for the law
school.
She is currently looking into
what Oregon?s judiciary and law
firms want law clerks and associates
to be able to do concerning legal
research and writing upon gradua-
tion.
She will be working with
upper-level law students on their
portfolios, and preparing material
for pre-law students who are non-
native speakers.
To honor Mary Lawrence,
her law school colleagues and
friends among the Bar and the
LRW community have created
an endowed scholarship fund
that will result in an annual
award to a law student who
has demonstrated excellence in
LRW.
Those interested in contrib-
uting to this fund should make
checks payable to:
UO Foundation/Law
School, and can be sent to
Connie Tapp, School of Law,
1221 University of Oregon,
Eugene 97403. Note that it is for
the Mary Lawrence Scholar-
ship.

Retirements
Continued from Page 7
Two retirees, Maxine Lee and Marilyn Cooper, outside the Knight Law Center.
DONALD BRODIE
Professor Donald Brodie, the
first faculty member at Oregon to
develop and teach courses in
alternative dispute resolution, has
retired.
Brodie joined the UO Law
Faculty in 1967. His scholarship and
teaching centered on administrative
law, labor law, the legal profession
and law firm management.
Brodie has been a national
leader in applying computer
technology to classroom teaching.
Since the late 1970s he experimented
with many software programs and
hardware configurations to bring
the latest developments in com-
puter-assisted instruction to the
attention of his students and
colleagues. He taught seminars in
computers and the law, and in high-
technology and the law.
Born in 1936, he received his
B.A. from the University of Wash-
ington in 1958, and his law degree
(LL.B.) from NYU in 1961. He
served as staff counsel to the U.S.
Senate Committee on Commerce,
1965?1967. His books include
?Individual Employment Disputes;
Definite And Indefinite Terms
Contracts,? 1991; ?School Contract
Language? (with co-author), 1983;
and ?School Grievance Arbitration?
(with co-author), 1982. In addition
to his many scholarly articles, Don
has published several pieces,
including oral histories, about the
history of the law school. ?Don has
this wonderful curiosity about how
things work,? says friend and
colleague, Law Librarian Professor
Dennis Hyatt. ?I know his fascina-
tion with computers is a carry-over
from his long-held interest with cars
and engines, cameras and photogra-
phy, and the history of technology. I
enjoy observing his restless mind at
work. For example, in looking at the
ways computer programs pattern
and link information, he wonders
what information gets lost in the
process. In looking at photography,
he wonders what isn?t shown in the
picture. In general, Don?s creative
thinking is sparked by his question-
ing what we lose, perhaps uninten-
tionally, by what we gain. He is a
wonderful colleague and friend.?
When a second legal quarterly,
the Journal of Environmental Law
and Litigation was started in 1985,
she was assigned to oversee its
publication.
She received the Classified Staff
Employee Recognition Award in
1989.
MAXINE LEE
From Fenton Hall to what is
now Grayson Hall to the William
W. Knight Law Center, Maxine Lee
has, by all accounts, gone beyond
the call of duty in her work for the
School of Law.
Starting as a temporary
employee in 1968, she was quickly
moved to a regular appointment,
where she served as a clerk typist,
secretary, file clerk, receptionist,
and all around indispensable
employee. When a three-foot
snowfall paralyzed the community
in 1969, Lee made it to work and
kept things running.
Following the move from
Fenton, she was asked to allocate
half of her time to manage and
conduct the entire operation of the
Oregon Law Review.
In this work she utilized her
computer skills to organize the
editorial work, manuscript produc-
tion and transmission to the
printers, as well as overseeing the
subscription service and distribu-
tion.
MARILYN COOPER
Marilyn Cooper, who began her
career at the law school as an office
clerk in the law school?s admissions
office in 1976, retired earlier this
year as a vital Computer Support
Analyst.
From 1978 until 1982, she
served as faculty secretary. With the
advent of the first word processing
equipment, she became the technol-
ogy support trainer and coordinator
for these early computers.
For her outstanding service, she
received the Classified Employee
Recognition Award in 1993.
FALL 2000                      9
In his book ?The Lexus and the
Olive Tree,? author Thomas Fried-
man writes about the disappearing
national boundaries as capital,
technology and information create a
system that replaces the Cold War
of the 20th century with the global-
ization of the 21st. Law, vital as it is
to all areas of life and commerce,
finds itself in the middle of this
process. Thus the importance of the
?Lviv Connection,? between law
faculties in the Ukraine and those at
the University of Oregon.
GENESIS OF THE OREGON?LVIV
UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP
PROPOSAL
In Fall 1997, Professor John
Bonine learned of the University
Partnership program of the United
States Information Agency. He
proposed to the UO Law School and
to Professor Kravchenko in Lviv
that the UO  submit a grant pro-
posal to USIA/BECA. Professor
Kravchenko also proposed that a
new law school in Lviv, Ukraine, be
brought into the proposal as well as
the Law School of the Lviv Acad-
emy of Commerce. The effort
proposed support for international
law, environmental law, and
business law.
In summer 1998 the Law School
learned that it had been successful
and that, in fact, it received one of
the highest funding levels for a
University Partnership, $270,000 for
three years.
HISTORY OF OREGON?UKRAINE
LAW SCHOOL CONTACTS
Members of the University of
Oregon Law Faculty and law
faculties in Ukraine have had
contacts going back to at least 1994.
UO Law alumnus Michael
Goldstein (a lawyer in Eugene) was
chosen by the U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID)
in 1993 to manage its Rule of Law
grant making project in Ukraine.
He chose Professor Jim Mooney of
the UO Law School to manage a
program of faculty exchanges with
law schools in Ukraine. Under the
UO law faculty exchange, Profes-
sors Mooney, Garrett Epps, Jon
Jacobson, and Margie Paris each
went to different law schools in
Ukraine, giving lectures, in 1994.
Also in 1994, during his
sabbatical, Professor Bonine
traveled through Ukraine. He spent
a few days in Kiev, where the
people he met included Professor
Svitlana Kravchenko of Lviv
National University. Bonine
returned in 1995 to Ukraine, to
participate in the first Conference of
Environmental Lawyers of Central/
Eastern Europe and the former
Soviet Union, organized by Profes-
sor Kravchenko and the young
lawyers in the public-interest
environmental law firm that she
had started, Ecopravo-Lviv.
Meanwhile, Professor
Kravchenko?s environmental law
firm had received funding from the
American Bar Association and
USAID?s Rule of Law projects. She
and her staff put into actual
practice the ideas of  legal reform
that she and others were teaching in
the classroom. Ecopravo started
using the judicial system of Ukraine
to defend citizen?s rights and
created training seminars through-
out the country for citizens, pros-
ecutors, judges, lawyers, and others.
THE PARTNERSHIP?S FOUR
ELEMENTS
? Faculty Exchanges
The first visitor chosen for the
exchange program was Docent
(Associate Professor) Iryna Voytyuk
of the Lviv Academy of Commerce.
She spent  a month in Oregon in
Fall 1998, returning to Lviv with
particular plans to create a Business
Law Clinic.
The second visitor was Profes-
sor Gilbert Carrasco, visiting
professor of constitutional law in
Oregon, who spent two weeks in
Lviv in Spring 1999.
Professor Bonine also made two
one-week visits to Lviv in Fall 1999
to do team-teaching at Lviv Na-
tional University and LAC.

FRIENDSHIPS, PROGRAMS STRENGTHENED

The exchange between Eugene and Lviv is more than an
interaction between institutions - it also is an opportunity for
people to meet people, and in the process to experience new
friendships and the beginnings of lasting relationships.
Following are edited excerpts from e-mail messages sent
to UO law faculty from Professor Dom Vetri and Associate
Dean Jane Gordon during their visit to Lviv last spring.
From Dom Vetri:
? Dear people, I arrived Tuesday evening at 2:30 p.m. local
time after leaving Monday at 6 a.m. A long grueling flight.
After some hassles about medical insurance at customs, I got
through and was greeted by four people and their children
with a big bouquet of flowers. I felt like a celebrity. Two of the
greeters were Jane Gordon and her mother, Natalie.
? I was feeling good despite being up for 24 hours,
probably all the good cheer of my greeters, and we all went for
a walk through the old town, had a pleasant Ukrainian dinner
with some dark Ukrainian beer, and then went for desserts at a
cafe. It is shirtsleeve weather and very pleasant. The partner-
ship people are very friendly and helpful, trying in every way
to make our stays productive and personally enjoyable.
? Later I met with Prof. Helena?s fourth year class of about
10 students and we had a most engaging discussion. This class
is on inter country trade disputes and I focused on product
liability problems. . . I treated the class like I would an Oregon
class and gave them a hypothetical and asked them to talk
about it. I will set it forth at the end so that you have a good
idea of what we did together. You will enjoy the student
comments on the class.
From Jane Gordon:
? I heartily agree that we have learned a tremendous
amount about each other?s universities, countries, customs,
histories and the hopes, dreams and troubles of our countries
and universities. We?ve talked about teaching and students
and administration and this cannot happen without the
willingness of everyone to take the time to do it!
? . . . this also raises some interesting questions for the
partnership: what can we do to truly involve more people at
both universities?  How can we be sure to continue these
relationships  in a meaningful way ? that is not only these
precious new friendships, but also actual professional ex-
changes and growth?
The exchange program deep-
ened in Fall 1999 with the full-
semester visit to Oregon by Assis-
tant (Assistant Professor) Oksana
Oleksiv. It then broadened still more
with the semester-long visits by two
Ukrainians to Oregon in Spring
2000, Professor Svitlana
Kravchenko, Docent (Associate
Professor) Taras Levitsky, and a 2-
1/2-month visit by Docent (Associ-
ate Professor) Irina Zaverukha.
This Spring the exchange
program also deepened, with
Professor Kravchenko and Docent
Levitsky participating as team-
teachers or teachers in classes in
Oregon. Spring 2000 also included a
two-week visit by incoming Oregon
Professor Barbara Aldave, the new
Director of Oregon?s Law and
Entrepreneurship Program, and her
husband Rafael Aldave, and
another colleague from Barbara?s
former law school in Texas, Sue
Bentch.
This was followed by visits to
Lviv by Professor Dom Vetri and
Associate Dean Jane Gordon, in
May, 2000.
In Fall 2000, Docent Andriy
Shkolyk and Aspirant Andriy
Andrusevych will make visits to
Oregon, one for at least a month
and the other for the full semester.
Other visits are still in the planning
stage.
? Clinical Legal Education
In addition to the exchange
visits, the University Partnership
has seen a great deal of activity in
two other areas: clinical legal
education and the Internet.
Docent Iryna Voytyuk made
good on her promise to start a
Business Law Clinic, which opened
its doors in Fall 1999. Assistant Irina
Tustanovska at Lviv National
University has reinvigorated the
Environmental Law Clinic there,
while Assistant Zoryana Kozak has
started a Labor Law Clinic. Com-
puters are provided for the use of

FALL 2000                      11
these clinics and students trained
on e-mail. Exchange visitors consult
on organization and tasks for the
clinics.
? Internet, E-mail, and Dis-
tance Education
The Oregon-Lviv University
Partnership has been particularly
active in its efforts to build an
electronic partnership. The grant
has been used to provide desktop
computers in Lviv National
University?s Departments of
International Law, Civil Law,
Constitutional Law, and Environ-
mental Law, and in the Business
Law Clinic of Lviv Academy of
Commerce. The grant has also been
used to purchase some laptop
computers, and several modems to
allow Partners in Lviv with home
computers to access e-mail and the
Internet from home.
An active electronic discussion
list has been created and nurtured,
and now has a strong life of its own.
Faculty members in both Lviv and
Eugene exchange messages daily. A
similar list has been created for
clinic students, although the level of
participation there is markedly
lower. Participants in the Partner-
ship have also benefited from the
generous donation of online
research accounts by Lexis and
Westlaw.
There are hopes that eventually
the electronic links between the
schools can mature into actual
?distance education? classes.
? English and Ukrainian
Language Instruction
The University of Oregon?s
American English Institute has been
involved as an additional partner
from the beginning, with each
visitor to Oregon receiving inten-
sive classes or tutorials in legal
English, English writing and other
relevant classes.
In Lviv, the Partnership has
Partnership Continued from Page 10
Continued on Page 11
established both a basic and an
advanced class in English for
participants. As the program
evolves, the Partnership now plans
to provide basic instruction in the
Ukrainian language as well, for
Oregon visitors to Lviv.
? Books and Publishing
A final aspect of the Partner-
ship is intended to be book
authorship and publishing. This
part of the Partnership has not
started as quickly as originally
hoped. The Partnership has funds
for the publication of up to six
books, using new teaching meth-
ods and approaches. The books are
to be published both in print
format and on the Internet, for the
use of other law teachers through-
out Ukraine.
THE PARTNERSHIP?S
FUTURE
As the University Partnership
enters its final year of U.S. govern-
ment funding, all participants
seem to agree that the relationship
has been extremely positive.
Friendships and collegial relation-
ships are being forged through
personal contact, remote e-mail, and
team-teaching among faculty
members at all three participating
universities.
Exchange visits have included a
full complement of social activities
to extend the partnering beyond
business hours. Teachers sit in on
faculty meetings at their partner
schools, give special presentations,
and observe each other?s classes.
As the word spreads of the
benefits of the Partnership, more
and more faculty members are
expressing interest in the program.
It will be important for the partici-
pants to start thinking of a next
phase for the burgeoning Partner-
ship between the law teachers at the
University of Oregon, Lviv National
University, and Lviv Academy of
Commerce. Additional funding
must be sought, until the Partner-
ship can become truly self-sustain-
ing. The future seems bright,
however, simply because of the
enthusiasm and commitment of
those who take part in the Oregon-
Lviv University Partnership.
Associate Dean Jane Gordon, her mother, Natalie, and Professor Dom Vetri receive tour of the
historical city of Lviv.
12              OREGON LAWYE R
Change, even for the better, it has been noted, is not
accomplished without a great deal of struggle. The
change experienced today in all areas of society touches
nearly every aspect of our lives from the way we com-
municate to the way we are entertained, from how
business is transacted to the way international borders
are becoming irrelevant.
It is then, no surprise that education, and in particu-
lar legal education, would be equally affected by this
change - and even more importantly, that legal educators
should look at ways to address how the change should
affect legal education in the next half century.
For these reasons the School of Law established its
Twenty-first Century Law School Task Force, co-chaired
by Board of Visitors Vice-chair Nicholas Rockefeller and
Distinguished Professor and Dean Emeritus Eugene
Scoles. The Task Force, named by Dean Rennard
Strickland, also includes the president of the Law School
Alumni Association, the president of the Student Bar
Association, members of the judiciary, the faculty and the
public, with the dean and the university president as ex-
officio members.
Prominent in the areas being investigated by the
Task Force is the shift in the legal profession from a focus
on litigation as the primary means of resolving disputes
to the use of negotiation and mediation, with lawyers
serving as facilitators and problem solvers. ?We?ve
discovered,? Scoles says, ?that in many of these cases
that are litigated, nobody wins, especially in situations
where relationships need to be maintained following the
dispute. Mediation is an effort to resolve problems
without destroying relationships.?
While the move toward mediation would not scrap
the traditional law curriculum, it would mean a shifting
toward resolution by agreement rather than by adversity.
Agreeing that this approach should be explored is
Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Ellen
Rosenblum, Class of ?75, also a member of the Task Force.
?In my view,? she says, ? appropriate alternatives to
traditional litigation should be explored in every course
in law school?not just a special course in mediation.
This should also be true for issues of ethics and profes-
sionalism. It makes more sense in context than on its own
somewhere.
?This business of mediation,? she adds,  ?is not
really so new; negotiation has always been the lifeblood
of legal practice. Negotiations have just become more
formalized and, to some extent, taken out of the hands of
the lawyers by trained mediators, many of whom are
lawyers , but many are not. The results of professional
mediation have demonstrated that what most litigants
Task Force Looks to the Future
MEDIATION, COST, TECHNOLOGY EXPLORED
want is not necessarily their ?day in court,? but rather,
time going over the pros and cons of their case with an
impartial and helpful facilitator?someone to listen to
them and empathize and help guide them to a just result.
?Law schools,? Rosenblum says, ?would be doing a
big service if they helped law students to understand
early on the value of this approach and how they can
best use mediators?at what stage of the proceedings to
both manage their litigation effectively and economically,
and to satisfy the psychological needs of their clients. I
do not think that law schools should be ringing the death
knell for traditional litigation.?
Another important area of investigation the Task
Force is reviewing is the increasing cost of legal educa-
tion, and the resulting increased debt load with which
new lawyers enter practice.
?The most important impact of this for law school
graduates,? says Carol Pratt, of Davis Wright Tremaine
and a Task Force member, ?is that the debt constricts the
choices, forces the graduates to seek out high paying jobs
in large law firms.

?When you come out of the UO with a debt load of
$60,000 to $100,000, it doesn?t match well with choosing
public interest law, government work or something for a
nonprofit.?
Another trend Pratt has observed since her gradua-
tion two years ago is what she calls a kind of ?Wild West?
culture?the influence of the youth dominated ?Silicon
Valley? type of firms that can pay high salaries and tend
to want people who are ?hip on tech.? No three piece
suits here, she says, it?s a ?polo shirt and khakis culture.?
?This too,? she says, ?influences the choices students
make in law school.?
?I feel sad,? she says, ?that careers as public interest
lawyers have been and are being ruled out by young
people saddled with debt. I also am concerned that young
lawyers may feel trapped in certain jobs that are not ideal
for them by this debt. I see this as the ?dirty little, not so
secret, secret? of legal education ? and probably other
graduate education as well.?
Both Rosenblum and Pratt have thoughts on possible
solutions, though no consensus has yet been reached by
the Task Force.
?I would like to see more debt forgiveness possibili-
ties created by the school and others,? Rosenblum says,
?so that lawyers can go into fields of law that are desper-
ate for their assistance, and yet, do not pay well enough
to allow them to provide for families and make their
monthly loan payments.?
?The debt load is also a matter of state finances,?
Pratt points out. ?In-state tuition is pretty high at the UO
in comparison to other law schools. It?s time to put this on
the plate of the legislators.?
Pratt also suggests doing a better job of connecting
third-year law students with career opportunities earlier
by making paid practical experience a part of the curricu-
lum.
Increased internationalism and the globalization of
practice is another key area the Task Force is looking into.
?Today,? Scoles explains, ?clients are engaged in a mobile,
international society that we as legal educators need to be
attuned to. There is a reduction in the importance of
borders, in fact, a total disregard of borders in many
transactions.?
At the same time, Scoles points out, this presents a
need to recognize differences in legal approaches to
common business and personal matters through a study
of comparative law, an increase in the number of multi-
lingual lawyers, and a generally increased understand-
ing of the different perspectives that parties to an
international transaction bring to the table.
Other topics being looked at include: Advancing
Professionalism; Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Justice and
Diversity; Technology; The Lack of New Lawyers
Training and Mentoring; and The Need for Continuing
Legal Education.
The key aspect of the Task Force study has been a
series of twelve forums held up and down the west
coast from Los Angeles to Seattle and over the State of
Oregon. These forums assure that concerns of a wide
range of members of the legal profession and the
community at large are considered in the findings of the
Task Force.
The forums were held in diverse locations where
substantial numbers of Oregon Law School graduates
practice. Representative alumni in each area were
invited to attend and offer their views. The discussions
were detailed, serious and enthusiastic. The views of
constituents in other areas have been solicited by
interview and correspondence.
?We?re trying to identify concerns, approaches,
allocations, and technologies that the Law School needs
to address in program planning for the future,? Scoles
says. ?And the need for mutual effort among the
profession, the public and the educators is paramount.?
The Task Force is aiming for completion of its initial
findings by the spring of 2001.
The Task Force welcomes further comments from
any interested persons. Please contact Connie Tapp at
(541) 346-3800 or email ctapp@law.uoregon.edu or fax to

The Eugene Register-Guard
David Schuman traded his position as constitu-
tional scholar and associate dean at the University of
Oregon law school to serve as deputy to Attorney
General Hardy Myers when he took office in 1997.
Although he had planned to stay only two years,
Schuman remained in the position for nearly four years.
As the Department of Justice?s top appointed attorney,
Schuman oversees all the legal matters dealt with by
what is, in effect, the
state of Oregon?s law

and KLCC reporter
Naseem Rahka aired

Q: It?s an inter-
esting transition you made from legal scholar to deputy
attorney general. What kind of perspective does that
allow you to bring to your job?
A: In many ways I feel like I moved from the
grandstands to the playing field. As a professor and a
scholar, I was much more of a critic who occasionally
hoped that something I screamed out might somehow
get the attention of one of the players. As the deputy
attorney general, I?m a player and it?s much more
interesting in many ways and it?s much more exciting.
I think coming from an academic background gave
me a certain kind of theoretical framework that people
who go from law school into practice don?t have. So I
spent a lot of time thinking about how a constitution
should be interpreted. What a constitution is. What the
On the Record with Deputy AG Schuman
function of a constitution is in a polity. That sort of
thing. I call that a theoretical perspective as opposed to
a partisan perspective. That gives me a kind of mooring
when I approach a particular problem.
Q: How much of your job deals with constitutional
issues vs. more routine legal issues?
A: It?s probably 50/50, but that?s because in Oregon
the initiative and referendum are in the constitution. An
enormous amount of my time and the time of other
assistant attorneys general, not to mention the Supreme
Court, is spent dealing with, in one way or another, the
initiative process - everything from drafting ballot
titles, which is something the attorney general?s office
has to do by statute, to defending our draft of ballot
titles against challengers, to interpreting sometimes
ambiguous measures after they?ve been passed or
sometimes before they?ve been passed in the form of an
attorney general?s opinion, to defending them if they
do pass. That just takes up a huge amount of time.
So if you regard that as constitutional law, that
takes up a big chunk. If you?re referring to more
traditional constitutional things like free speech cases,
separation of powers cases, equal protection cases,
that?s a much smaller area, although it?s a much bigger
area of my particular practice than it is in the rest of the
department because I?m interested in it and I get to
choose what I do.
Q: Given the enormous workload created by
initiatives, such as you?ve just described, how would
you reinvent the initiative system?
A: I would reduce the workload in the ballot title
area by not having the attorney general and the su-
preme court involved in drafting, defending and
judging ballot titles for measures that never reach the
ballot. We had 166 proposed measures during this last
election cycle and 26 of them made the ballot.
And yet all 166 had to have attorney general-
drafted ballot titles. They had to stay open for a week to
allow people to comment on them and object. Many of
them were challenged in court. The whole process
occupied an enormous amount of time and it turned
out to be wheel-spinning because these didn?t make the
ballot in any event. So it seems to me that one simple
and fairly straightforward reform would be to reduce
the amount of work that both the attorney general?s
office and the supreme court do on measures that don?t
make the ballot.
Q: Without a ballot title when initiatives are being
circulated for signatures, wouldn?t this make more
difficult the job of explaining what the measure does?
A: For some measures, for short measures, signa-
ture-gatherers could simply have the text itself. But for
FALL 2000                      15
If someone has a fairly complex
measure, they?ll submit it in three or
four or five slightly different forms.
It?s like a menu, and they ultimately
get to choose their favorite one.
Meanwhile, we?re out there drafting
five or six ballot titles and everyone
knows that only one is going
anywhere, if that.
those initiatives that are complicated or long enough
that they would need a ballot title, you could have ballot
titles drafted by some sort of committee, a nonpolitical
group. For example, two people chosen by the propo-
nents, two people chosen by opponents and one person
chosen by the other four. They could draft a ballot title
that would be adequate, that would be sufficient for the
purpose of gathering signatures.
The real fight over ballot titles seems to be over
minutiae: Where does a comma go? Are you going to
use this word or that word because of the connotation.
That sort of thing can influence an election because
people see the ballot title and that?s usually all they see.
But in terms of whether you?re going to sign a petition or
not, I don?t think that kind of technical distinction makes
that big of a difference.
Q: A lot of initiative sponsors do what?s called ?title
shopping.? Could you explain this?
A: That?s one sort of abuse of the current system. If
someone has a fairly complex measure, they?ll submit it
in three or four or five slightly different forms. It?s like a
menu, and they ultimately get to choose their favorite
one. Meanwhile, we?re out there drafting five or six
ballot titles and everyone knows that only one is going
anywhere, if that.
Another abuse is that people will challenge ballot
titles in order to run out the legal process so that there?s
less time for the signature-gathering process. This
process can?t begin until the Supreme Court has certified
a ballot title. With their docket the way it is, especially
being clogged up by ballot-title challenges, sometimes
that reduces the amount of time people have to gather
signatures by months. So it?s a strategic thing people do
and it?s another abuse of the system.
Q: What about the wording of these measures,
which are often written by nonlawyers. When they pass

they are almost always challenged and often they?re
tossed because they?ve got legal or constitutional prob-
lems.
   A: One thing would be to encourage people who
are going to draft and submit constitutional amendments
or other initiatives to run them by Legislative Counsel
before they turn them in. They already can do that.
Legislative Counsel will look at proposed initiatives and
render informal advice, completely voluntary. No one
has to take this advice.
   Unfortunately people who tend to avail themselves
to the initiative process have such a deep-seated distrust
of government that they often fail to take advantage of
this. I don?t know if there would be some way to compel
them to do that by statute. That would probably be
politically difficult. Another thing that could be done,
and I?m not saying this would be a particularly good
idea, would be to change the constitution so that the
courts could pass judgment on the constitutionality of
proposed measures before they?re enacted. Currently
under the constitution the way it?s written, you can?t do
that because the case is not a real case; it?s hypothetical.
Q: One of the measures on the ballot was sponsored
by Bill Sizemore?s Oregon Taxpayers United to prevent
the Legislature from doing anything to the initiative
system. What do you think of this?
A: I think it?s probably unnecessary because the
Legislature is already so nervous about changing the
initiative system. They?re reluctant to do it in any event.
If you look back over the last few biennia, you can see
that there really have been no significant legislative
changes to the initiative process. Even with the change
that was going to be instituted by ballot-measure in the
last election?it would have raised the number of
signatures you need to get a constitutional amendment
on the ballot?was defeated by a huge margin. So I think
people who are in politics in the state of Oregon under-
stand that the initiative system is off limits to tinkering.
So I think the Sizemore initiative is unnecessary.

Editor?s note: The following article was
submitted by John Gilbertson, ?50 who
organized his 50th class reunion.
The Class of 1950 celebrated its
50th year class reunion on June 23,
socializing, renewing old ties, and
honoring the late Dean Orlando
Hollis and Judge Kenneth O?Connell.
Lois Ackerman, former law school
registrar and executive secretary to
the dean for nearly 50 years, was the
principal speaker.
The reunion dinner was held at
the Waverly Country Club in Port-
land, and was preceded by a cocktail
social hour hosted by class members
Morrie Galen, Carrol Bradley and
John Gilbertson.
During the program each
member of the class spoke of his or
her memories of the law school and
of achievements since graduation.
Special recognition and respect was
given to the deceased class members,
as well as an acknowledgement and
remembrance of Dean Hollis and
Judge O?Connell. Dovey Jo
Landerholm, the only graduating
woman of the class, spoke elo-
quently of her protective classmate
brothers.
The entering class in 1947
numbered 132, including three
women and a large number of
veterans. Of those, 35 graduated and
16 of those have died.
One week prior to Dean Hollis?
death on March 1, two members
representing the class met with Dean
Hollis and Mrs. Ackerman, present-
ing them each with an engraved gift.
Don Myrick was chosen to
organize and chair the 100th anniver-
sary, regardless of location.
Class Honors Mentors
Class of 1950 members, back row, left to right: Robert Ringo, Wally Martin, Jack Caldwell, Robert Myers,
Carrell Bradley, Kent Blackhurst, Lois Ackerman, John Gilbertson, James VanderStoep; seated, left to right:
Tom Brownhill, Morrie Galen, Don Myrick, Dovey Jo Landerholm, George Brustad and Edward Clark.
Editor?s note: The following article,
edited for space considerations, was
submitted by Class of ?49 member
Oglesby H. Young, who organized its
reunion in fall of 1999.
We started at Fenton Hall with
about 106 students in 1946, and
ended with 36. Each of us could
honestly say that we were gradu-
ated in the upper third of our class.
We were protective of one another
and have remained close through-
out those 50 years. We also genu-
inely liked each other and wanted
each member of the Class of ?49 to
succeed in our profession.
We have succeeded, having had
several judges?both state and
federal?two Presidents of the
Oregon State Bar and countless
chairs of important State Bar and
American Bar Association commit-
tees. We were principally taught by
three giants of the Oregon Law
School?Dean Orlando J. Hollis,
Chief Justice Kenneth J. O?Connell,
and Professor Charles G. Howard.
As a tribute to their efforts, all 36 of
us passed the bar examination.
Members of our class have
remained loyal to the Law School
and thankful for the opportunities it
has provided for us. We were
instrumental in forming the Univer-
sity of Oregon Law School Alumni
Association, and one of our class-
mates was an early president of the
group, which provides scholarships
for law students. Several of us have
served on the Board of Visitors.
Although most of us attended law
school on the GI Bill, we recognized
that many of those who followed us
would not have that advantage, so
we formed the Law School Develop-
ment Fund, which has been so
helpful in maintaining our Law
School?s high standards. Hail to the
Mighty Class of 1949.

34              OREGON LAWYE R
founded a program to bring U.S.
and Mexican business lawyers
together to find ways to facilitate
and negotiate transnational busi-
ness transactions. She currently
holds the Sister Helen Prejean
Distinguished Professorship in
Legal and Social Justice at St.
Mary?s.
JUDY GIERS
Giers received her  B.A. cum
laude in 1982 from the  University
of Colorado, and her  J.D. cum
laude, in 1990 from Suffolk Univer-
sity. After law school, Giers clerked
for Judge William L. Richardson on
the Oregon Court of Appeals. She
was a partner at Harrang Long
Gary Rudnick in Eugene before
beginning her teaching career.
She did her first year of law
school in 1982 at the University of
Colorado at Boulder, then took five
years off. During that five years, she
lived in Japan and taught ballet and
jazz.
In 1992, she began her private
practice career as an associate at
Harrang Long, et al, a law firm in
Eugene, Oregon. Her practice
emphasized complex trial and
appellate matters in the state and
federal courts.
Giers is a member of the
Oregon State Bar and has been
admitted to practice in the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals and the
Federal District Courts for the
District of Oregon. Private practice
was great fun, very exciting and
always exhausting, she says.
She left the firm in May of 2000
to begin what she hopes will be a
less exhausting career teaching law
students the fundamental skills they
will need in the real world of law
practice.
ANDREA COLES BJERRE
Coles Bjerre is a magna cum
laude graduate of Barnard College
in 1984, and received her J.D. in
1987, from Brooklyn Law School.
She clerked for U. S. Bankruptcy
Judge Jerome Feller in New York,
following law school. After this
two-year clerkship, she joined the
Wall Street firm of Milbank, Tweed,
Hadley & McCloy, centering her
practice on corporate reorganization
and restructuring.
Her interests outside law
include Shakespeare, word games
and origami, which she occasionally
teaches at the UO Craft Center.
TONY WATERS
Waters, who is teaching
contracts and criminal law this year,
is a 1972 graduate of the University
of Keele in Staffordshire, England.
He received his L.L.M. in 1974, from
Yale University.
From 1974 until the present he
has taught at the University of
Maryland School of Law. Earlier in
his career, he taught at the Univer-
sity of Chicago Law School, as a
guest fellow and visiting scholar at
Yale, at State University of New
York at Buffalo, and at Lewis and
Clark College Northwestern School
of Law.
He also has taught at the
University of Colombo, Sri Lanka,
and at the University of Bristol,
England.
His teaching has centered on
Contracts, Consumer Law, Criminal
Law, Judicial Function, Legal
Journalism and the Rights of Non-
humans.
SCOTT OPTICAN
Optican will be a Visiting
Assistant Professor of Law for the
2000-01 academic year. He will
teach Criminal Law in the Fall
Semester and Criminal Investiga-
tion in the Spring Semester.
He is an American who has
been teaching for the last eight
years at the University of Auckland
Faculty of Law in Auckland, New
Zealand. He is a graduate of
Harvard Law School (1988) and
holds a Masters degree in Criminol-
ogy from the University of Cam-
bridge, (England 1983) and a B.A. in
Rhetoric from the University of
California, Berkeley (1982). Prior to
becoming an academic, Scott
worked as an intern in the Crime
Prevention and Criminal Justice
Branch at the United Nations
headquarters in Vienna, spent a
year as a prosecutor in the Manhat-
tan County District Attorney?s
Office, and clerked for Judge
Constance Baker Motley of the
Federal District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
Optican?s primary research
interests are in the field of criminal
procedure. Along with several New
Zealand colleagues, Scott is cur-
rently completing a one-volume

Center Adds Three New Advisory Board Members
The Law and Entrepreneurship Center has added three new members to
its advisory board. Alan Meyer, Professor of Entrepreneurial Management,
who has been at the University of Oregon Lundquist College of Business
since 1984; Shogan Naidoo, a ?99 JD/MBA graduate of the University of
Oregon School of Law and co-founder and CEO of Counterclaim.com; and
Jill Fetherstonhaugh, also a graduate of the UO School of Law, who recently
opened her own law practice, the Business Law Centre in Eugene. Advisory
Board members for the Center are appointed by President Frohnmayer and
are asked to serve a three-year term.
Student Association Plans Activities
The Law and Entrepreneurship Student Association (LESA), led this
year by Seth Millstein (2L), is making plans for several speakers to come to
the law school over the next few months. Due to a growing interest in
learning more about dot com companies, three local companies have been
scheduled for Fall semester.  Snowtraders.com, elixirmag.com, and
counterclaim.com have all been invited to speak during the lunch hour at
the law school. The ever popular ?Law of Beer? series will continue with the
Law of Beer III in November. Spring semester will bring the Law of Wine
symposium and a panel focusing on outdoor sports. The student group also
hopes to lure some Portland-based tech companies to Eugene for a visit. If
you are a business attorney or have experience starting up your own
business, we'd like to hear from you. You can contact us at 541-346-3994.
Intellectual Property Piracy Symposium
The Law and Entrepreneurship Center, in conjunction with two Port-
land law firms, Klarquist Sparkman LLP and Stoel Rives LLP, sponsored a
daylong symposium on Friday, October 13th at the Embassy Suites in
Portland. Speakers from Microsoft, Stoel Rives LLP, and the Oakland Center
for Technology and Law spoke to an audience of 80?90 people, which
included law students, attorneys and business people, about the issues and
controversies surrounding the theft of Intellectual Property. In a demonstra-
tion showing the rapid changes in the technology that makes pirating of
movies possible, a representative from Dreamworks showed a film clip from
a movie pirated two years ago, which took twenty hours for the pirate to
download, and then contrasted it with a film clip recently pirated that took
no longer than the movie itself to be downloaded. Other panels discussed
Music Piracy and International Internet piracy.  The keynote address was
delivered by Sean Hoar, assistant U.S. attorney from Eugene, who handled
the prosecution for the nation's first Internet piracy conviction under the No
Electronic Theft Act.
