TempleREALWORLD.REALLAW.TEMPLEUNIVERSITYBEASLEYSCHOOLOFLAWLAW SCHOOLANDALUMNINEWS • FALL2002This summer eight Chinese scholarsgathered in Philadelphia to take an in-depthlook at the legal issues surrounding China’smembership in the World Trade Organization.In a unique program organized by TempleUniversity Beasley School of Law, the “WTOscholars” were guided in their inquiry byfaculty from Temple and other law schools, and given the opportunity to focus on researchrelated to the complex changes in law andpolicy that China has to undergo to meet itsobligations as a member of the WTO.The group consisted of five law professors,one top-ranking trade official, one judge fromChina’s Supreme People’s Court, and a privateattorney. During their month-long stay, theywere provided with office space at the lawschool, and time to think. Participants met with high-ranking U.S.trade officials in Washington, D.C., visited thePhiladelphia Stock Exchange, and participatedin a lively series of brown-bag luncheonseminars led by faculty from Temple and otheruniversities. In one session, Dean Robert J.Reinstein lectured on the institution of judicialreview of legislation. Professor Jeffrey Dunoff,Director of the LL.M. in Transnational Lawand Co-Director of the Institute for Law andPolicy, spoke to the group about cutting-edgeissues in WTO law, and Professor Amelia Boss,the Institute’s other co-director, spoke aboutelectronic commerce issues. Professor LauraLittle, former Supreme Court clerk, presentedan insider’s guide to the Supreme Court, andProfessor Richard Greenstein gave a talk onlegal reasoning.“This was a group of extremely capablescholars with a very high level of intellectualcuriosity,” says Assistant Dean AdelaideFerguson. “We gave them access to Americanscholars and professionals who could satisfythat curiosity.”During their month at Temple, each of theChinese visitors prepared a scholarly paper onWTO law. Near the end of their stay, theypresented these papers to a group of leadingWTO experts from Temple and other lawschools, think tanks, government officials,practitioners, and former trade negotiators forthe U.S. and other governments. The papersaddressed a variety of issues, including theinterplay of WTO law and domestic law; therole of regionalism in a multilateral system;and interpretation of the TRIPS agreement andits effects on developing countries. The paperswill be published in an upcoming issue ofTemple’s International and Comparative LawJournal.Participants at the roundtable gathering werethe following:•John Audley,Senior Associate of theCarnegie Endowment for InternationalPeace, where he serves as the Director of the Trade, Environment, andDevelopment Project. •Claude Barfield,Resident Scholar andDirector of Science and TechnologyPolicy Studies and Coordinator of TradePolicy Studies at the American EnterpriseInstitute for Public Policy Research.Total AIG grants for rule of law program now $4.5 millionTemple University’sBeasley School of Law has received a $2.5million endowment grant from the StarrFoundation, AIG’scharitable givingorganization, in supportof the law school’sinnovative LL.M.program in China.

Admissions officers across the countryreport a sharp increase in the number of applicants.Experts cite the recent economic downturn, as well asdisillusionment with big business, as factors inapplicants’choice to study the law.Temple was no exception to the trend, with 32%more applicants than last year, higher than the nationalaverage increase of 17%. The all-time high pool of4,311 applicants was ultimately narrowed down to yieldthis year’s entering class of 348, approximately the samesize as last year’s class.The decision-making process is never easy, but thisyear Temple’s admissions committee accepted only 31%of those applying. Looking at LSAT scores andundergraduate grade point averages as indicators,Temple’s large applicant pool was also very wellqualified. The median LSAT score of the entering classhas increased over the last five years from a 153 (55thpercentile) to a 159 (78th percentile). Moreover, in 199825% of the entering students had LSAT sores of 157 orhigher; in 2002, 75% of the entering students had LSATscores of 157 or higher. These increases in LSATs werenot made to the detriment of undergraduate grade pointaverages; the median GPA of the entering class has alsoincreased substantially over the last five years, from 3.18to 3.39.The interest in legal education continues to grow. Arecord number of people have signed up to take theLSATs in October 2002—an increase of at least 25%over 2001.TEMPLE’S ENTERING CLASS OF 2002•348 students-265 day, 83 evening•33% direct from undergraduate school•average age: 26•15% with graduate degrees•male/female ratio of 55:45, after two years of a female majority•median LSAT, 159; median GPA, 3.39•69% Pennsylvania residents•18% minority enrollment•top feeder schools, in order: Penn State, Penn and Templecontinued on next pageLiacouras Walk connects the law school’s threebuildings: Klein Hall, Shusterman Hall andBarrack Hall.TERRYWILDa partner in the corporate department of Fox,Rothschild, O’Brien & Frankel, has been listedin the 2001-02 edition of Corporate Counsel’sBest Lawyers in America,in the category ofhealth care law, for the 11th straight year.

FALL 2002 • 5ESQ. SPOTLIGHTMinneapolis lawyer with a national civil litigation practicenamed to Board of VisitorsJoseph W. Anthony, co-founder and managing partner ofAnthony Ostlund & Baer, a 20-lawyer boutique civil litigationfirm, was welcomed onto theLaw School’s Board of Visitorsthis year.“Joe is one of the outstandingtrial lawyers in the country,”says Abe Reich ’74, formerchancellor of the PhiladelphiaBar Association and a partner atFox, Rothschild, O’Brien &Frankel. “He’s a wonderfullawyer—just a down-to-earthdecent guy who has achievedwonderful success in thepractice of law.”Anthony and Reich arelongtime friends who share a lot of history. Bothgrew up in Connecticut, the sons of immigrant andfirst-generation parents. Although they competedagainst each other on inner-city high schoolbasketball teams—Anthony in Bridgeport and Reichin New Haven—they didn’t really meet until theyenrolled at the University of Connecticut andbecame fraternity brothers. After graduation, Reich, his new wife Sherri ’74,and Anthony all enrolled at Temple Law School.Anthony planned to go to school at night and workduring the day, he says, “but Temple offered mesome scholarship money and some loans, whichallowed me to go during the day. It gave me theopportunity to be a lawyer. That’s why I’ve been astrong contributor and supporter of Temple.” When the friends graduated from Temple in1974, they headed in different directions. Reichjoined Fox, Rothschild, and Anthony decided tohead west.“Back then, the hot cities were Seattle andDenver,” he recalls. He’d read an article in Timemagazine about Minneapolis and decided to sendresumes there as well. “I drove there first and I ranout of money in Minneapolis,” he says. “I got a joboffer from a big firm and I figured, ‘Well, this is stillwest of where I was.’So that’s where I stayed.”Anthony was a partner with Larkin, Hoffman,Daly & Lindgren until 1985. By then the firm hadgrown from 11 lawyers to over 75, but the practicewas not as fulfilling as he’d hoped. “I just decidedthat I wanted to have my own firm focusing oncomplicated or complex business litigation,” hesays. “I left to start my own firm with a lawyer fromanother firm who had a similar interest.”Fruth & Anthony, which became AnthonyOstlund & Baer in 2001, specializes in businesslitigation, with an emphasis on financial fraud,securities, anti-trust and commercial real estatelitigation.“I do a lot of financial fraud litigation,” Anthonysays. “We represent a number of investment bankingfirms, large corporations, small corporations. If it’s acomplicated business transaction or a complicatedvaluation, we are usually involved.”In 1985, Anthony obtained the first trebledamage civil RICO award for a client, and not longafterwards, a $15 millionsettlement under RICO in amatter representing a Fortune500 company. A self-described “agingathlete”—tennis, golf, running,biking—Anthony enjoyedsuccessfully resolving a recentcase in which he representedMajor League Baseball in adispute with the MetropolitanSports Facilities Commission,the public agency that operatesthe Metrodome in Minneapolis.In another currently relevantcase, he won an $11 millionsettlement on behalf ofDepartment 56, Inc., a maker ofcollectibles and giftware, againstArthur Andersen, involving consulting done by theaccounting firm.For Anthony, the most exciting cases “are thosethat go to trial…. Time stands still but you areacutely aware of everything around you. And thenyou look at your watch and it’s 5 o’clock—the end ofthe day.”He likes to represent the underdog, but points outthat these days a small business “underdog” might be“a 100 million dollar business up against a fourbillion dollar business.” That was the case when heobtained $9 million in compensatory and $7 millionin punitive damages in John G. Kinnard andCompany, Incorporated v. Dain Rauscher,Incorporated, et al.,NASD Arbitration No. 98-00854, in a matter involving a raiding claim betweentwo members of NASD.Active both civically and politically, Anthonydoes a lot of professional writing and lecturing. Herepresents both the State of Minnesota and the state’sattorney general.In October, Anthony will be inducted into theAmerican College of Trial Lawyers. He was namedfor the third year running as a “Super Lawyer” andas one of the top Minnesota business litigators byMinnesota Law & Politicsmagazine—designationshe takes with a modest Midwestern grain of salt.A stickler for courtesy and civility, Anthony likesto share—sometimes with juries—advice given byhis father, who died when Anthony was 14. “Try todo the right thing and treat people respectfully,honestly and decently. That sounds pretty plainvanilla—but that’s it,” he says. Anthony commuted to Temple for a semester in1998 to teach a Monday night course in AdvancedTrial Advocacy, an arrangement that allowed him tovisit his daughter Brooke, then a student at theUniversity of Pennsylvania. Brooke is now a lawstudent at Northwestern and her younger sisterLindsay is a junior at the University of Colorado inBoulder.His tenure as a member of the Board of Visitorswill be a chance to “hopefully give something back,”Anthony says, adding, “I’m happy about that.

SPOTLIGHTFormer trial team champ leaves practice of law for “The Practice”A lawyer representing an insurance companymust defend his actions when he violatesattorney/client privilege by telling the parents of aten-year-old boy that the boy has an aneurysmwhich must be operated on immediately. This could be the basis of a lively law schoolethics discussion. In fact, it was the plotline of anaward-winning episode of “The Practice,” co-writtenby Lukas Reiter ’95 and David E. Kelley. And it gotthem some attention. At a gala reception in Los Angeles in June 2002,Reiter and Kelley were awarded the prestigiousHumanitas Prize. Established in 1974, the prizerecognizes television and motion picture writerswhose work honestly explores the complexities of the human experience and sheds light on thepositive values of life. Reiter and Kelley’s episodeof “The Practice” was cited for its assertion that“when life is at stake the moral law trumps the civillaw.” In the first tie ever in Humanitas history, “The Practice” shared the win for the 60-minutetelevision category with Aaron Sorkin’s “The West Wing.” Only seven years out of law school, Reiter’sascent to the awards platform in Los Angeles hasbeen a rapid one. In his first job out of school at theQueens County DA’s Office in New York, he wasrecruited to work in the Homicide InvestigationBureau. After two and a half years inQueens, Reiter decided to leave the“practice” of law to pursue a careerin the entertainment industry. Hecalled friend and former law schoolclassmate, Alex Wellen ’95, who was also living in New York City,practicing intellectual property law at Pennie & Edmonds. Both had been stand-outs in lawschool. Reiter was a national trialteam champion in 1995, and wasnamed National Advocate. Wellenwas president of the Student BarAssociation. They had workedtogether on the law review, withWellen as an editor and Reiter assenior staff. Together, Reiter and Wellen made the leap anddecided to develop a television show about Internetcrime. The two founded Eleven Eleven Productions,Inc. to launch a news magazine show titled“CyberCrime.” The concept quickly sold and the twowere hooked. They moved themselves and the business to SanFrancisco for proximity to the industry. The cableshow, broadcast on Tech TV and now executive-produced by Wellen, is in its third season andrecently won a local Emmy Award. Encouraged by the success of “CyberCrime,”Reiter decided to try his hand at writing scripts forprime-time television. Soon after, he joined “ThePractice” as a staff writer and will begin his thirdseason with the critically-acclaimed program as a co-producer this fall. Reiter credits Temple Law, and particularlyProfessor Edward Ohlbaum, with contributing to his current success. “My training at Temple wasinvaluable to me,” Reiter says. “It gave me more thanjust experience in the courtroom setting; it reinforcedthe importance of teamwork, dedication andintegrity.”“I can’t say enough good things about EddieOhlbaum,” Reiter continues. “He’s the best there is. I counted on his guidance and friendship then, and Istill do now.”Gary Tocci has joined Reed Smith Shaw & McClay.
