TEMPLE UNIVERSITY JAMES E. BEASLEY SCHOOL OF LAW • LAW SCHOOL AND ALUMNI NEWS • SPRING 2013dean unveils center for social justiceA passion for justice inspires Stephen and Sandra Sheller to join forces with Temple Law.FEBRUARY 2013Dean JoAnne A.Epps’ dream for a law schoolcenter where “law meets life”became a reality when sheannounced the establishment ofthe Stephen and Sandra ShellerCenter for Social Justice at TempleUniversity Beasley School of Law.The founding of the Center ismade possible by a $1.5 milliongift from the Sheller FamilyFoundation. “The law school is alwaysseeking creative solutions toaddress the ways in which ourcountry falls short of the promiseof ‘justice for all’,” says DeanEpps. “Laws work best when theywork for everyone. The Steven andSandra Sheller Center for SocialJustice will be the place where, ina very real way, law meets life.”Like most projects designed tohave profound and lasting impact,this one was years in the making.Epps first became acquainted with Steve and Sandy Shellerwhen the Shellers’ daughter, Lauren, was a first-year lawstudent at Temple. Steve, the founding partner of Sheller,P.C., a leading plaintiff’s personal injury, class action andwhistleblower/qui tamlaw firm based in Philadelphia, had along history of involvement in politically charged and sociallyconscious litigation. Sandy had left a successful career inadvertising to work as an art therapist and social activist.While Lauren eventually transferred to Penn, meeting Steveand Sandy and learning of their passion for social changeplanted the seeds of a dream project. In March 2011, Epps invited Steve Sheller, a veteran mass torts attorney, to come to the law school to deliver theEdward Ross Memorial Lecture in Litigation. Sheller chose the title “Saints and Evil-Doers” for his remarks, in which he detailed a successful career of high profile cases thattouched a staggeringly wide range of public interest issues. In more than four decades of tireless litigating, Shellerpursued causes that ranged from civil rights, to voterprotection, to employment discrimination, to consumer fraud and protection. His talk struck a chord for Epps and her colleagues, andfor the overflow crowd of students and faculty who attended.From the start, discussions with the Shellers fueled Epps’ idea ofwhat a center could accomplish.“Interestingly, in my email directory I established a box called the ShellerSocial Justice Center,” remembersEpps. “And that was a long timebefore they had any idea what I was thinking.” Epps nurtured the vision in thesubsequent year, and continued totalk to the Shellers. “I approachedStephen Sheller first, and though he has accomplished amazing thingsin his career he said, ‘No. I’m notinterested in having things named for me; that’s not why I do what Ido.’” By February 2012, Epps haddecided that Temple Law was going to have a social justice centerone way or another, and beganfundraising in earnest. A celebrity-studded auction that includedsupporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. washosted by Mass Torts Made Perfect,and raised more than $150,000. There was no turning back.The dean’s vision was beginning to resonate for theShellers, who together direct philanthropic giving through theSheller Family Foundation in support of organizations that“enhance the lives of the underprivileged, promote highereducation advancement, promote the arts for social change,and work to eliminate corruption and ethical misconduct.”Steve had a long history of working with leaders at Temple,including Peter Liacouras and Cecil B. Moore, and Sandyserved on the Salvation Army board of trustees with Epps.They had grown to admire both the dean and the lawschool’s historic commitment to public interest programs and to the neighborhood that surrounds the campus. “We just kept talking about what a center would look like.It felt like a perfect way to honor Steve’s legacy and Sandy’scommitment to social justice.” The couple grew increasinglyconvinced that the core values of the Sheller FamilyFoundation—whose tagline is “Changing Lives”—wasperfectly aligned with Epps’ vision for a place where students,faculty and partner organizations could join forces on “causedriven” projects. In December 2012, the Shellers agreed.continued on page twoDEAN JOANNE EPPS (STANDING) WITH THE BENEFACTORSOF THE CENTER FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE, STEPHEN ANDSANDRA SHELLER. MEET THE SHELLERSThe couple behind the Center for SocialJustice are committed to ‘changing lives.’“You should know that we met in 1978 when I picked her up hitchhiking in a snowstorm,”says Stephen A. Sheller, one half of theextraordinary couple who head the ShellerFamily Foundation. “We’ve been married 31years now.” It has been 31 years filled withhigh-powered careers, extended family, and acommitment to community and social changethat has only grown over the years. Stephen Sheller is the founding partner ofSheller, P.C., a leading plaintiff’s personalinjury, class action and whistleblower/qui tamlaw firm based in Philadelphia. Originallyfocusing his practice on representing clientslike the Black Panthers, unions, anddisenfranchised voters, he has since devotedmost of his time to a variety of consumerprotection issues.The woman Steve found in the snowstorm,who eventually became his wife, is SandraSheller, a licensed art therapist and communitymental health activist. At the time, Sandy wasworking as an art director at an advertisingagency, where she represented leading resortsincluding Calloway Gardens, The Breakers,and The Greenbriar. She was good at her joband she went on to win an Addy Award—theequivalent of a Golden Globe—for a billboardcampaign she did for Calloway Gardens. Sandy became disillusioned with theadvertising world when her agency sent a manto accept the award in her place. Later, whenshe learned that a much less experienced manwas earning $10,000 a year more than shewas, she decided that she’d had enough. Shequit, and she sued. By that time, she was married to Stephen,who jokes, “She had a really good lawyer.” Hecontinues: “She was probably the first personin Pennsylvania to claim unemployment for sexdiscrimination.” Steve won Sandy’s case, andshe was awarded back pay. Steve entered law school as an activist andgraduated as an activist-attorney. He traces his interest in social justice and the law to anexperience he had as an undergraduate atPenn. Steve had come to Penn from ErasmusHigh in Brooklyn. His father had convincedhim to give up musical ambitions to be aveterinarian, but a “C” in Organic Chemistryleft Steve looking for a new vocation. continued on page two36926 Temple_ESQ_Sept06/f 2/26/13 10:37 AM Page 12 • TEMPLE ESQ. SPRING 2013Today, the Stephen and Sandra Sheller Center for SocialJustice is taking shape. The dean outlines a three-prongedapproach to carrying out the Center’s work. Students andlawyers at the Center will partner with the communityorganizations directly engaged in gaining access to publicresources for those who need them. When the solutioncalls for changes to policy, the Center will work toencourage those changes through white papers, education,legislative proposals and lobbying. And when litigation isrequired, the Center will pursue that option. While Temple has always offered students a wide rangeof on- and off-campus clinical courses, the programslaunched at the new center “will be unlike a lot of otherexperiential opportunities in that they won’t be subjectmatter static,” says Epps. “The Center won’t just doenvironmental law, it won’t just do family law, it won’t justhelp people with disabilities. It will do all of those thingsbecause it will be cause-driven.”The Center opens this spring in a spacious second-flooroffice in the modern Howard Gittis Student Center on mainCENTER FOR SOCIAL JUSTICEcontinued from page oneHis path to law school began when the well-knownprofessor of criminology Marvin Wolfgang draftedstudents—including Steve—to conduct a study ofrecidivism rates of ex-convicts who had clergy sponsorswhen they left prison, as opposed to entering the standardprobation and parole system. The results were dramaticand had far-reaching impact: not one of the clergy-sponsored men was reincarcerated. One of the individuals who monitored the recidivismproject was then-dean of Penn Law, Jefferson Fordham.“Dean Fordham decided that I should go to law schoolapparently,” recalls Steve. “I didn’t apply anywhere else, I just applied to Penn Law. I saw how the faculty fromPenn Law—at that time—were very much involved in the community.” Steve ended up staying to practice law in Philadelphia,where he knew he would have ample opportunity to makea difference. “I was very friendly with Dr. John Honnold,who was a Quaker,” says Steve. “He was involved in having confession of judgment declared unconstitutional,which is now coming back in vogue in present day law . . . and he actually helped me co-counsel that [case]and we took it up through the courts and we had itdeclared unconstitutional.” He went on to challenge laws requiring students to voteat their parents’ homes. “I wanted to get students the rightto vote on campus so we took that to court. We litigatedthat successfully,” says Steve.Steve began to get involved in the labor movement,which at the time worked closely with civil rightsorganizations. It was through that work that he first came to know Temple, when he represented the university’sunion of maids and janitors. “I spent a lot of time onTemple’s campus because the CORE office was right upthe street at the 2200 block [of N. Broad St.]. And theNAACP was involved and they were very supportive oflabor unions at the time.” He came to know former lawschool dean and university president Peter Liacouras, andworked closely with Temple Law graduate and civil rightsleader Cecil B. Moore. Steve began a long and fruitful career in mass tortslitigation. “I represent people in mass torts where they’vebeen basically victimized,” says Steve. “One of my majorareas right now is false claims acts.” In a career spanning more than four decades, Steve has represented a wide variety of clients who have been injured by defective drugs, including children harmed byantipsychotic drugs. He is also active in numerous classaction and individual cases against the nation’s largesttobacco companies, including Philip Morris, R.J. Reynoldsand Brown & Williamson, based on their marketing andsale of so-called “light” cigarettes; he helped to discoverthe “light” cigarette fraud and initiate the litigation strategy to remedy the deception. He has representedpharmaceutical whistleblowers and has recovered morethan $4.2 billion for the U.S. government, including $520 million from AstraZeneca, $2.3 billion from Pfizer,and $1.4 billion from Eli Lilly. Typically, compensation forlegal counsel in class action settlements is set by the court,based in part on the recovery of the class and in part onthe time and expenses spent by counsel. While Steve’s career has often earned him nationalattention, it was the 2000 Presidential election that gainedhim the most widespread acclaim. In November 2000, the Shellers received a call from Sandy’s mother in BocaRaton, Florida. She was in a frenzy because she wascertain she had voted—by accident—for PatrickBuchanan, an independent whose votes were thought todetract from a Gore victory in Florida. Steve reported hismother-in-law’s concern to then-Democratic Chair EdRendell. Rendell sent Steve to South Florida, where heended up as lead attorney in the Dade County “butterflyballot” litigation. Steve argued that the ballots wereunconstitutional, and successfully obtained a temporaryrestraining order preventing Katherine Harris from certifying the election results. campus, a block from Klein Hall. The inaugural projectswill be identified and, starting in 2014, students will earncredit for participating in Social Justice Center projects. Dean Epps and the Shellers express hopes that, tenyears from now, the Sheller Center for Social Justice will be not only a centerpiece to Temple Law but a beacon toother law schools. Steve Sheller says he looks to the newCenter to inspire and educate a new generation of leadersby pulling them into the world of meaningful studies, policy campaigns, and litigation, much in the way hisundergraduate and law professors did for him. The Shellers plan to work closely with the Center as members of the board. “The projects that we are most proud of are projects we initiate,” says Sandy. “We don’t just give money, we are very involved in thecreation, the implementation and the ongoing stewardshipof the project.”“I would hope that we would be a model for how aninstitution can contribute both to the education of theirstudents and make meaningful change in the community,”says Epps. “And I’d like us to be a role model for what an institution can do with generous support from peoplelike the Shellers.”While Steve also convinced a federal judge to order a recount, to this day he is convinced that if a properanalysis had been conducted, it would have been proventhat Gore won the election by several thousand votes. When Gore, who had been slow to get involved, finallystepped in, the case was transferred to a different legalteam in Tallahassee. “As time went on I felt that was theworst loss I ever suffered,” says Steve. “Because we endedup in the Iraq war and that wouldn’t have happened.”Meanwhile, following her break with the advertisingworld, Sandy found that her interests took her to graduateschool in art therapy at Drexel, where she saw anopportunity to blend her art background with an interest in mental health. She went on to work as a mental healthtreatment specialist at the Red Shield Family Residence, afamily homeless shelter that is part of the Salvation Army.She was asked to serve as an expert witness on trauma forSAMHSA, a government organization addressing mentalhealth and substance abuse issues, and to join a panellooking at homelessness. Sandy’s work introduced her to communities strugglingwith issues of poverty and powerlessness; Steve’s work hadalways been about confronting power and making change.In 2006, they decided to take it to the next level andformed the Sheller Family Foundation. A foundation wouldgive them a vehicle to not only support but also initiateMEET THE SHELLERScontinued from page oneprograms that could effect significant, structural social change. Sandy explains how she and Steve conceived of their jointly run foundation. “I was working right down thestreet [at the Salvation Army] with families experiencinghomelessness, and I could work really hard and do a lot of good work but on a one-to-one level there’s only somuch I could do in a week. I saw that if I stepped backand worked with the paraprofessional staff to impactchange, that was a greater level.” But there were systemic problems that seemedintractable. “I saw that a lot of these people had really losttheir voice. We talk a lot about freedoms that Americanshave, and a lot of times, if you’re combating such povertyand chaos and oppression, you can’t really partake ofthose freedoms. So the whole idea is, on a higher level,advocate for those people who don’t have a voice, andmaybe even empower them to advocate for themselves.”Steve agrees. “We say ‘liberty and justice’ a lot, and Ithink we forget justice a little bit. Liberty seems to beoverstressed, between gun rights and the Supreme Court’sridiculous—in my view—version of free speech, meaningyou can spend as much money as you want if you’rewealthy and take advantage of poor people. And diminishtheir rights to be respected and their right to vote.”Today, the mission of the foundation is “to improvelives” by funding higher education and community andadvocacy groups. They say they are doing it for futuregenerations. Together, the Shellers have two daughters and four grandchildren, and Steve has two daughters froma previous marriage. Two are attorneys, one teacheselementary school and another is a university professor.“Right now they’re busy establishing themselves,” saysSteve proudly. Sandy adds, “We’re just hoping that theSheller Family Foundation will be a legacy for them to walkin at some future point.”Steve and Sandy Sheller insist that they do not think ofwhat they do as “giving back.” Their philanthropy is justpart of who they are. “I don’t call it giving back and I don’t call it pro bono,”says Steve. “There’s something about pro bonothat hasturned me a little against that word. ‘You gotta do pro bonowork, your law firm has to get their pro bonocredits.’ I findthat very disquieting. “You’ve got to believe in it, it’s got to be from within. Ilove what I do, I wouldn’t call it giving back, I’m getting . . .I’m getting rewarded.”STEPHEN SHELLER DELIVERED THE 2011 EDWARD J.

Apparently Israel hasn’t articulated clear conditions under which the blockade would end.As law professor Noura Erakathas written in a journal article: “Despite claimsof self-defense, Israel has not defined a definitive purpose for the blockade, theachievement of which would indicate its end.

Worried investors sell, driving down the price of a company’ssecurities. Soon the deflation attracts distressed-debt investors with a specializedunderstanding of how to profitably play the bankruptcy game.This leads to what Jonathan Lipsonof the Temple University law school calls a “shadow bankruptcy system,” a largely unregulated marketplace where private funds trade claims behind closed doors, building positions they hedgewith derivatives and other financial instruments. —Chicago Tribune, January 13, 2013ASSAULT WEAPON BANS NOT ENOUGH, ASSERTS DAVID KAIRYS“The Newtown elementary school massacre has finally sparked a discussionabout what to do about the 80 gun deaths in America each day, seven of whichare children [writes Temple Law Professor David Kairys]...To reduce gunviolence, we need a sweeping reform of the way guns are bought and sold. . . .“Gun crimes are usually discussed as if the transactions and guns involved are illegal, but the truth is that most guns that end up being used incrimes are obtained legally.

BEASLEY SCHOOL OF LAW1719 North Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19122Bullying—it’s more than horseplay, say experts Symposium explores bullying “from kindergarten to elder care.’FEBRUARY 23, 2013 Leading scholars and advocates gathered at Temple Law School to explore the hot-button topic of bullying in a symposium that brought more than 100 participants to Temple Law School. Once viewed as an inevitable part of public life, bullying has come under increasing scrutiny and is no longer dismissed as “horseplay” or harmless “teasing.” For lawyers and policy makers, this redefinition raises a host of questions. Judges and legislatures have redrawn boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable behavior, rethought questions of responsibility and liability, and recognized acategory of harm that has recalibrated our understanding of injury and causality.The one-day symposium, Bullying: Redefining Boundaries, Responsibility, and Harm, delved into the phenomenon of bullying as it exists across the life course, from kindergarten through elder care. Emily Bazelon, a senior editor at Slate, delivered the keynote speech. Bazelon has used Slate as a platform to write widely about bullying and related topics, and this year will release a book, Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy.The group of more than twenty high-profile speakers included Shannon Minter, Legal Director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights; David Yamada, Professor at Suffolk University Law School in Boston; Rue Landau ’98, Chair of the Philadelphia Human Relations Commission; Robin Maril, Human Rights Campaign legislative counsel; Aaron Tax, federal policy director at SAGE; and Shawn Gaylord, federal policy director at the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.The symposium was organized by Nancy J. Knauer, I. Herman Stern Professor of Law and Director of D.C. Programs, and sponsored by the Temple Political & Civil Rights Law Review, which will publish a special symposium issue later this year.
