Beck ’67 is the2003 honoree at the annual Law Day reception,heldMarch 19 at City Hall. At the gala reception,members of the law school community joinmembers of the judiciary in recognizing JudgeBeck’s many contributions,both civic andprofessional.Commenting on the Law Day honoree,DeanRobert J. Reinstein says,“She has contributed toTemple Law School in many ways—as a student,faculty member and a member of our Board ofVisitors. Her outstanding career as a judge andadvocate for the public interest has made her a rolemodel worthy of emulation by generations of lawstudents.”Judge Beck has served on the state SuperiorCourt bench for over two decades. A 1949 cumlaudegraduate of Brown University,Beck workedfor a year as a researcher for Time magazine andanother year as a reporter for the Berkshire EagleinPittsfield,Massachusetts. The next decade was spentas a stay-at-home wife and mother to four youngchildren. In 1962,after a year of graduate work inpsychology at Bryn Mawr College,Beck startedTemple Law as a part-time evening student. Sheaccelerated her studies and graduated in 1967 withthe top grade point average in the evening division.Her legal career began in Philadelphia,where shewas an associate first with Goodis,Greenfield,Nanin and Mann,and later with Duane Morris. In1972 Beck began teaching part-time in Temple’sclinical program,and by 1974 had become a full-time faculty member. In 1976,she joined theUniversity of Pennsylvania Law School faculty,spending five years as vice dean and professor.Judge Beck’s career path changed direction in1981 when she was appointed to the Superior Courtby Governor Thornburgh. She was elected statewideto a ten-year term in 1983 and retained in 1993. In1987 Governor Casey appointed Beck as chair of theGovernor’s Judicial Reform Commission,whichrecommended major structural reform inPennsylvania’s judicial system. Her work on judicialreform was acknowledged when she received theJudicial Award from the Pennsylvania BarAssociation in 1990.Judge Phyllis W.

Beck Chair in Law at Temple University BeasleySchool of Law. The chair was the third endowedchair at the law school,and the first named for awoman.

Fortunately,aftermuch debate,the ship was permitted tocontinue on to New York City.The tiny Sevareid boys were thefirst twins born of American parents inFrance after the outbreak of war. “Wehad our 15 minutes of Andy Warholfame,”Sevareid jokes. “We were in thenewsreels and newspaper stories. Butthat was the end of it.”Sevareid grew up in Alexandria,Virginia,attended Harvard College,then enrolled in Georgetown LawSchool. His career choice wasinfluenced by his lawyer mother andhis great-grandfather,a congressman,who opened a lawoffice in Deadwood,South Dakota,in 1882. After graduation,Sevareid worked in a Washington,D.C. firm which handled communication matters beforethe FCC. Then he got a chance to teach law in Kenya,as an overseas fellow for the Ford Foundation-fundedInternational Legal Center.“They called me up in July,1968,and said theyneeded somebody to go to Kenya in six weeks—for twoyears,”Sevareid says. “The lure of being able to go toAfrica and teach law to civil servants for a couple ofyears was just hard to resist.”Sevareid and his wife Alice left for Kenya,wheretheir first child was to be born. “It was wonderful,”hesays. “We created the materials,we wrote handbooks. I was editor of the East African Law Journal.That’swhere I became interested in African customary law.”After completing a third year in Kenya,Sevareidreturned to the States and to Yale Law School,where he earned an LL.M. in 1972,as an International LegalCenter fellow. Recruited by then Acting Dean JoeMarshall,Sevareid joined the Temple law faculty onJuly 1,shortly before the disastrous law library fire.Sevareid remembers teaching “Federal Courts,”hisfirst Temple class. “It was a difficult subject and we hadover a hundred in the class,”he says. “It was 9 o’clockin the morning,the windows were open and the soundsystem didn’t work. And they were jackhammering theremains of the library right next door,and I had toshout. So everything since has been easier.”The Sevareids have two sons. Jeremy is a computerprogrammer for stockbrokers in New York City,andMax is a medical research assistant at the University ofWashington. Retirement plans include writing,sailing,visits to a family log cabin,and—of course—travels tomany distant and fascinating places.—Janet Blom SheaJanet Goldwater,Publications DirectorGene Gilroy,Art DirectorPhotography on location at Temple Law School by Kelly & MassaSend letters and comments to:Janet Goldwater,Temple Esq.

Reinstein, DeanCIVILRIGHTSATTORNEYcontinued from page oneDuring the last thirty years,PeterSevareid has challenged law studentswith such innovative courses as“Comparative Law:Dispute Settlement.”This popular interdisciplinary coursewas jointly taught by Sevareid,PeterRigby of Temple’s anthropologydepartment and Bob Kidder,of thesociology department.“I wanted to show students that thereis a bigger world than that between theJersey Shore and Elkins Park,”Sevareidsays. “Sixty to seventy percent of legalthings are not done by the legalprofession. They’re not done in formalcourts. There is a whole world of dispute settlement out there.”In 1991,Sevareid was the recipient of the LindbackAward for Distinguished Teaching. In support of theaward,Professor Warren Ballard wrote,“Year after year,he has inspired his students to intensive,independent,critical study,gaining the warm respect and appreciationof those he has taught.”Those appreciative students include many fromforeign countries. Sevareid was the founding directorand champion of the LL.M. program for foreignstudents. This program now has successful alumni in 66countries,including more than 60 in Thailand alone. Heestablished Temple’s summer session in Ghana and hastaught law there and at Temple programs in Rome,Athens,Tel Aviv,China and Japan.In 1979,Sevareid spent six months in a Liberianvillage studying dispute settlement. “I lived in a hut andI had my kerosene lamps and I listened to cases. It was avillage of about 800 people and they had 11 differentcourts for settling disputes,”he says.Other research was conducted in Kenya,SouthAfrica,Thailand and China. Author of many scholarlyarticles and papers,Sevareid served on the board of theRiver Blindness Foundation and of the Association forVoluntary Surgical Contraception. Closer to home,hewas a member of the board of review of the TempleUniversity Press and of the University art committee.Sevareid’s world travels began almost at birth. Heand his twin,Michael,were born in Paris in 1940. “The Germans were marching toward Paris,”he says.“My father got us out. We went in wicker baskets withour mother by ambulance to Genoa and we got on anItalian boat.”“Peter Sevareid—what a wonderful colleague.For a number of years,his office was just downthe hall from mine. If I had a problem,I knewthat his door would be open for me. I valued hiscalm,insightful approach to finding the solution. “I have known Peter for 30 years. I was trulyfortunate in being able to recruit him for ourfaculty when he was completing an LL.M.program at Yale. By then,he was already wellknown for his work in Kenya and his interest ininternational law.“Shortly after his arrival at Temple,heestablished,almost single-handedly,one of thefirst graduate programs in our region devoted tolawyers and judges from foreign countries,so thatthey could study the American legal system. Iknow that many of these grateful students fromall over the world continue to stay in touch withPeter.“Peter Sevareid is truly the world traveler. Iwas never surprised to receive a postcard from,say,some remote place in Mongolia.“My wish is for Peter and his charming wifeAlice to enjoy many peaceful and happy yearssailing the waters of the Chesapeake Bay.”— Professor Emeritus Joseph W. Marshall ’54“Over the years,Peter has generously sharedhis insights and experiences with colleagues andstudents,enriching faculty lives and enhancingthe law school experience of numerous students.Peter brought his international experience and hisvision of law as a shared human endeavor to theLaw School’s LL.M. program for internationallawyers,helping to strengthen it and to give it anoutstanding reputation in many parts of the world.Peter’s efforts and vision are no small part of thereason for this reputation.”— Professor Emeritus Gerald F.

His mother diedsoon after he was born,and he was raisedby his stepmother and grandmother. Hisfather,an agricultural officer for theBritish Colonial Agricultural Department,traveled from village to village,teachingmodern agricultural methods to farmers,but managed to visit his young son everymonth or so.For his high school education,Gyandoh was sent to Cape Coast toattend Mfantsipim,a boarding schoolfashioned after England’s Eton—thesame school attended later by his friend Kofi Annan,secretary general of the United Nations.Gyandoh was a good student who dreamed ofbecoming a lawyer. Determined to go to college,he wona Colonial Government scholarship to study law at theUniversity of Southampton in England and to be trainedas a barrister-at-law.Ghana,then known as the Gold Coast,had beenruled by Britain for more than 100 years. In 1957,thecountry gained independence,and Gyandoh rememberscelebrating with friends and officials at the posh SavoyHotel in London.Gyandoh returned to Accra,Ghana,in 1960,as abarrister-at-law of the Middle Temple,London. Aftertwo years as a junior partner in a firm of solicitors,hejoined the faculty of law at the University of Ghana in Legon.“In 1963,”he recalls,“I was awarded a study leave topursue advanced legal studies at Yale Law School. I gotthe LL.M. degree in 1964 and I was persuaded to stayon and work towards the J.S.D. degree. But,two yearslater,I was urgently called to Ghana to help with nationbuilding.”After Ghana became a republic in 1960,constitu-tional government was disrupted by major coups in1966,1972 and 1981. Gyandoh,who taughtconstitutional law,was becoming politically active inwhat he calls an “academic way.”He became theprincipal author of Ghana’s Third RepublicanConstitution—a unique document based on theAmerican system of separation of powers—and was,he says,“a fairly close adviser to the president of theThird Republic.”Gyandoh was named dean of the faculty of law at theUniversity of Ghana in 1979. The same year,the ThirdRepublican Constitution was adopted—only to be“It has been my privilege to know and learnfrom Sam Gyandoh since our days together atYale in 1964 and 1965. Thereafter,while wewere deans of Temple and Ghana,we helpedestablish in 1975 Temple’s summer session andexchange program at the University of Ghana.“Sam Gyandoh has been described as theThomas Jefferson of Ghana,having been theprincipal strategist and author of Ghana’sdemocratic constitution of 1979.“That contribution and his steadfastcommitment to human dignity in the face of threats against his person,by a militarydictatorship that was trampling on theConstitution and justice,endeared him toGhanaians as no other legal scholar has everbeen embraced by common folk yearning fordemocracy and respect.“For two decades before his constitution-making,Professor Gyandoh’s legal and scholarlycontributions had earned him worldwiderecognition. … It was Temple’s good fortunethat Sam Gyandoh,because of his unwillingnessto barter his people’s freedom for his ownpersonal safety by refusing to embrace themilitary dictatorship,accepted our invitation in 1982 to join our faculty where he had lecturedtwice in the previous decade. His classicaleducation,profound wisdom,searing legal mind,and his contagious love of life often expressed ina deep baritone voice,are an unforgettablecombination we’ll not soon encounter again.Sam Gyandoh inspired generations of studentsand his peers in the U.S.,the U.K.,Netherlands,Greece,Japan,Israel,Nigeria,and Ghana.”—Chancellor Peter J. Liacouras(Note:Peter J. Liacouras,universitychancellor and former Temple Universitypresident,and Sam Gyandoh met at Yale LawSchool in 1964. Both were students of thelegendary Myers McDougal,and both becamelaw school deans—Liacouras at Temple andGyandoh at the University of Ghana.) Professor Samuel O. Gyandoh Jr.,shown here in 1988,taught courses ininternational human rights andcomparative law.Professor Emeritus Samuel O. Gyandoh Jr. taught at Law School since 1982overthrown two years later in a violent coup led by Flight LieutenantJerry Rawlings.“In 1982,I had to leave Ghanabecause my life was in danger,”Gyandoh says. “I was in continentalEurope for about two months,got toLondon,and got in touch with PeterLiacouras,who suggested I couldcome spend some time at Temple.”Since he couldn’t go home,Gyandoh chose to come to Temple,beginning his teaching career as avisiting professor and visiting fellow.He was reunited with his wife Louisaand their three young children the following year,andthe entire family became citizens in 1991.In 1992,Ghana adopted a Fourth RepublicanConstitution,which was modeled on the one authoredby Gyandoh. By 1995,it was possible to return toGhana. Gyandoh,who had an emotional reunion withhis 90-year-old father,says,“It was quite a traumaticthing for me. I hadn’t seen many of my friends andrelations in all those years.”A few of Gyandoh’s accomplishments includeserving as editor in chief of Third World Legal Studies,a scholarly journal of the International Third WorldLegal Studies Association,and as a member of theadvisory council of the National Security Archives. Hehas also been honored as a fellow of the NetherlandsInstitute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities andSocial Sciences,and as Friedrich-Ebert Foundationscholar-in-residence at Max Plant Institutes in Hamburg,Munich and Heidelberg in Germany.Author of several books and many monographs andarticles,Gyandoh hopes to continue his research andwriting,both in Ghana and here in the U.S.All three of the Gyandoh children attended TempleUniversity.

Theymarried the year Bonnie graduated from TempleLaw,while Richard was completing his last year at the University of Osteopathic Medicine andHealth Sciences.Nearly two decades later,their professional pathscame together once again,when Richard decided togo to law school. “I became frustrated with thecrossover of law into medicine,”he says. “I feltunable to adequately address a number of the legaland ethical issues involving the practice of medicineand patient care. Bonnie suggested that going to lawschool would help.”Richard MosesLike Bonnie,Richard chose Temple Law School,attending at night while continuing to practicemedicine.

Becoming anadjunct professor of law was a natural transition,”says Richard.“Teaching is academically challenging. Templestudents are extremely intelligent and interested.”Soon,Richard wanted more time to pursue hislegal interests. In 1999,he merged his practice withthat of three other gastroenterologists into Phila-delphia Gastroenterology Consultants,Ltd. andcontinues to practice in Huntington Valley,Pennsylvania.
