TempleREALWORLD.REALLAW.TEMPLEUNIVERSITYBEASLEYSCHOOLOFLAWLAW SCHOOLANDALUMNINEWS • SUMMER2002“Always interesting andentertaining.”Professor Nancy J. Knauer was named one ofonly three Temple University Great Teachers.Presented annually since 1988,the Great Teacheraward is the University’s highest honor. Consistently praised by students andcolleagues,Knauer teaches popular courses onproperty,trusts and estates,taxation,estateplanning,tax policy,and sexual orientation andthe law. These challenging subjects includetechnical areas of law with which most studentshave little familiarity. Using a mix of lively classdiscussions,skillful presentations,real lifeexamples and illustrations,and large doses ofhumor,Knauer keeps students interested incourses that might otherwise be dry. “Nancy is an extraordinarily gifted lawyer andteacher,”says Associate Dean Mark Rahdert,chairof the law school committee that nominatedKnauer for the award. “The student acclaim isuniversal and runs the full gamut of her courses,from writing seminars to technical trusts andestates. This recognition is richly-deserved.”Knauer has twice received the George P.William Memorial Award,the law school’s highestteaching honor,in 1994 and 1998. In February,she and Professor Eleanor Myers received theCPR Institute’s inaugural prize for ProblemSolving in the Law School Curriculum for theircourse on integrated transactional practice (seearticle on page two.)Knauer,who has taught at the law school since1991,is legendary for her thoroughness and grasp of diverse material,as well as her ability to entertain. Student evaluations often includestatements like “10 out of 10 if not better,”“11out of 10”or “A++.”One student’s comments sumup the attitude of the vast majority of students inher popular class in property:“Always interestingand entertaining.”A student in Knauer’s tax classcomments that she “breathes life into tax,”whileanother admits the class is “one of the best in thelaw school,and I don’t even like tax!”In addition to classroom teaching,Knauerregularly volunteers to mentor studentsexperiencing academic difficulties,and worksclosely with students in extracurricular settings.As faculty adviser to the Temple Political & CivilRights Law Review,she helps the student editorsdevelop annual symposia discussing emergingcivil rights issues. And as adviser to Temple Law Students for Lesbian and Gay Rights,Knauer helped develop a Queer Theory discussiongroup as well as a series of faculty colloquia high-lighting concerns of gays and lesbians in the classroom. Knauer joined Temple Law School as anassistant professor in 1991,after working atBallard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll for sevenyears. She is now a full professor. A resident of the West Mount Airy section of Philadelphia,Knauer earned her undergraduate and law degreesat the University of Pennsylvania. Temple is first school to win prestigious Gumpert Award twiceOnce again,Temple’strial advocacy programhas won nationalrecognition. TheAmerican College ofTrial Lawyers hasawarded TempleUniversity BeasleySchool of Law the 2002Emil Gumpert Award forexcellence in teachingtrial advocacy. Theaward includes a$50,000 donation to the law school.“The trial advocacyprogram has brought agreat deal of honor andrecognition to the lawschool,and trulyexemplifies our ‘real world—real law’philosophy,”says Dean Robert J. Reinstein.Temple is the first school to have won twice in theaward’s 25-year history. When Dean Robert Reinsteinaccepted the first award in 1989,he noted that alongwith the celebration of institutional vitality,there wasthe opportunity to recommit to ideals and values and to use the forward momentum to evaluate the future ofthe program. In the eleven years that followed,the law school hasenhanced its trial advocacy program with the followingofferings:•A two-semester program which integrates trialadvocacy,evidence and professional responsibility.Temple’s curriculum for this integrated program hasbecome a model for teaching evidentiary rules andethical precepts through simulation of the courtroomexperience (see article on page three.)•Two advanced trial advocacy tracks—criminal andcivil—in which students are challenged by thecomplexities of specialized practice,confronted with “real world”experts,and called upon to usetechnology in simulated courtrooms. •An LL.M. degree in trial advocacy,the first and only masters of law degree program in the countrydedicated to the academic advancement of and skill training for practicing trial lawyers. •An interscholastic national trial team program which gives selected students the chance to try“cases”regionally and nationally before panels ofaccomplished trial lawyers and judges and creates anunparalleled standard for excellence in advocacy. Professor Edward Ohlbaum,Director of TrialAdvocacy and Clinical Legal Education,as well as co-coach of the trial team,has long been the linchpin of trial advocacy at Temple. He describes the success of the program:“It is neither boast nor brag to reportthat Temple trains trial lawyers. In our trial advocacyprogram students are taught how to ask questions and make speeches,and how to practice those skillsnourished by the veryheart of trialadvocacy—the case theory. “At Temple,trialadvocacy is not asideline; it’s adiscipline.”For threeconsecutive yearsstarting in 1999,Temple’s trialadvocacy programwas ranked by USNews and WorldReport’s national poll as the top ranked trialadvocacy programamong law schools.This year Templeshares the honor with Stetson Law School.Trial team sets the standardThe trial team,which Ohlbaum calls “the center-piece of the program,”has won the most nationalcompetitions of any law school since 1985. “Althoughonly fourteen students are eligible to compete each year in interscholastic competition,the team sets thestandard of excellence in technique and professionalismthat has become the benchmark for performance,”says Ohlbaum. “It sets the standards for which our students shoot,it provides the bar which our teachers demand that ourstudents reach. It provides the measure by which weself-evaluate,and it makes us at Temple all walk a littletaller and try a little harder to maintain the number oneranking we have worked hard to earn.”In 2000-2001,Temple won the ATLA nationalchampionship for the second time in four years. In the National Trial Competition,the “Super Bowl oftournaments,”the school has been to the final four eighttimes in the last eleven years,finishing first in 1999,1998 and 1995,and second in 1993 and 1992.Trial advocacy is taught throughout the J.D. curriculumAdvocacy skills training begins during the firstsemester of the first year with legal writing and researchcourses. Students are taught the fundamentals of legalanalysis through repeated exercises in library researchand the preparation of office memoranda and anappellate brief which must be defended in oral argumentbefore a moot court. During the second year,students are eligible to takeother courses in the advocacy curriculum:the integratedprogram in trial advocacy or the basic introduction totrial advocacy. Armed with these prerequisites,students are eligibleto enter the clinical program where they select fromcontinued on page threeProfessor Edward D.

Broad Street, Room 313Philadelphia, PA 19122 Telefax: (215) 204-1185Change of Address: (215) 204-1187Professor Joey Passon—who first cameto Temple as an undergraduate in 1958—will become professor emeritus on July 1. The soft-spoken Passon did not want toend his 36 years as a Temple Law teacherwith a formal ceremony. Instead,students,friends and colleagues surprised him withan informal gathering after his last class.Passon is noted for his skill and devotion as a teacher and for his service to the Law School. Over the years,he headed many committees,including thecentennial and tenure committees. In 1983,he becamedirector of the law school’s innovative program to train graduate teaching fellows. That same year Passon initiated ongoing legal education seminars andfaculty workshops.During the 1970s,Passon served as assistant dean ofacademic affairs,associate dean for student affairs anddirector of the Temple summer session abroad in Ghana—the last session before the country fell into hostile hands.Along the way,Passon has received several University-wide awards. They include the 1997 Stauffer Award foroutstanding faculty service and the 1991 Lindback Awardfor distinguished teaching.“I love teaching and I love being with the students,”Passon says. “But for me,the most significant part washelping to build a law school that really represented whatthis country looks like in terms of diversity.”Passon,who currently lives in Florida with his wifeToni,now devotes his time to family,books and golf.—Janet Blom SheaProfessor Emeritus Joseph W. Marshall ’54“I first knew Professor Passon as a student,andthen later as a colleague. There was probably nevera new young law school faculty member who wascalled upon to teach a greater variety of coursesthan Joe. It was unbelievable. He worked so hard atall of it and he did so well.”Professor Emeritus Donald R. Price ’66“He’s one of the sweetest guys who ever walkedthe face of the earth—a very generous,humaneguy. We formed our bond in law school when westarted together in 1962. I always felt the studentsenjoyed him and he was certainly a great facultycolleague.“Joey always cared aboutTemple—Temple through and through.”Professor Emeritus Gerald F.Tietz ’70“Thirty-five years ago,Joeytaught me that tort law protectsthe dignitary interests of people.When I joined the faculty fifteenyears later,I experienced hisgenerous support of new facultymembers. Joey was a true friendand generous colleague,adedicated and respectful teacher,whose calmingpresence and patient consideration set a standardworthy of emulation.”Professor Carl E. Singley ’72“Joe was one of the first teachers I met when I came to Temple Law School in 1968. He workedvery closely with the new group of African-American law students who started law schooltogether. Those of us who were first-year lawstudents—and certainly the minority students—loved Joe Passon. He worked countless hours with us,spent a lot of office time on developingstudy habits and learning the material. A lot of us who started then probably would not have gotten through law school without Joe Passon.Joey,probably more than any other person,epitomizes the notion of Temple as a wonderfulteaching institution.”On April 23,2002,the Temple Institute forInternational Law and Public Policy hosted JusticeRichard J. Goldstone,an internationally-respected juristof the Constitutional Court of South Africa.Justice Goldstone spoke about the role ofinternational criminal law in the prosecution of warcrimes. His speech was especially relevant not onlysince September 11th,but also due to the UnitedNations’announcement on April 11 that the treatycreating the world’s first permanent war crimes tribunalwill come into force this summer.A high-profile human rights advocate,JusticeGoldstone was the first chief prosecutor of theInternational Criminal Tribunals for the formerYugoslavia and Rwanda (1994-1996). Previously,Justice Goldstone played a critical role in two of themost important legal responses to human rights abusesof our time,chairing a Commission of Inquiry intopolitical violence in South Africa (the GoldstoneCommission) and actively guiding South Africa’stransition into the post-apartheid era. In addition to his position on South Africa’s Constitutional Court,Goldstone currently chairs the IndependentInternational Commission on Kosovo and serves as Chancellor of the University of Witwatersrand.“Justice Goldstone is anoutstanding individual and lawyer,”says Jeffrey Dunoff,co-director ofthe Temple Institute for InternationalLaw and Public Policy. “We arethrilled to welcome him and to offer our students the opportunity to hear his perspectives,especially during such a critical time in the development ofinternational law.”The Temple Institute for International Law and PublicPolicy was created by law school faculty working in theareas of international and comparative law,and is run byProfessors Amelia H. Boss and Jeffrey L. Dunoff. Thepurpose of the new institute is to provide a focus for thelaw school’s existing strengths in the international lawarea,enhance the wide range of international andcomparative law activities already at the law school,andstrengthen the international legal training the law schoolprovides its students. One way it does so is by hosting aseries of distinguished speakers and scholars-in-residence. Other visitors hosted by the institute in the 2001-2002academic year were Justice Cao Jianming,SupremePeople’s Court of China; Professor Hillary Charlesworth,Australia National University; Professor Diego Corapi,University of Rome; and Justice Itsuo Sonobe,SupremeCourt of Japan.Professor Richard K. Greenstein, LL.M. ’82“Besides his unfailing warmth and generosity,two things stand out in my mind about Joey. One is his utter devotion to the Law School’sgraduate teaching fellowship program. Year afteryear Joey spent countless hours on the phone,talking with the chairs of faculty selectioncommittees in law schools around the country,arranging “matches”between schools and theteaching fellows. Generations of graduates of ourprogram literally owe their careers in the legalacademy to Joey’s tireless efforts. The secondthing is that Joey is exceptionally thoughtful onthe subject of legal education.”Professor Sharon S. Harzenski ’74“Joey is a much-loved friend and colleague.One story about him that I’d like to shareconcerns our travels together in Ghana during thesummer session abroad there. Joey brought withhim his wife and his daughter and I was travelingwith my son. We would all pile into a Volkswagenand visit nearby towns,markets,historical sites,beaches. Whenever and wherever we stopped andunloaded from that little car,people wouldmistake us for a single family:A man travelingwith his wives and his children. This family sagais one of my favorite memories.”Professor Laura E. Little ’85“One of the things that makes Temple LawSchool special is that people on the faculty trulycare about the institution. Joey symbolizes thatethic in a very deep way.”Comments from Joey Passon’s ColleaguesJustice Richard Goldstone (right),with ProfessorJeffrey Dunoff (left) and Jeffrey Reiff ’79 (center),was one of five visiting scholars hosted by the TempleInstitute for International Law and Public Policy. TEMPLEESQ. SUMMER 2002 • 3PROSECUTION OF WAR CRIMES IS NEW RESEARCH AREA FORPROFESSOR LAURA E. LITTLEAward-winning Professor Laura E. Little ’85 has been writing,researching and speaking on the process of judging and decision-making sincejoining Temple Law’s faculty in 1990.Those interests have now gone international.Last summer Little and her husband,Richard P.Barrett ’85,co-taught a course in InternationalCriminal Law at the Law School’s summer session in Rome,Italy.Barrett,an assistant U.S. attorney for theEastern District of Pennsylvania,is a transnationaland domestic prosecutor,prosecuting criminals inother countries under United States domestic law.“He taught the part of the course dealing withprocedures for prosecuting,”Little says. “I taughtthe part of the course dealing with the appropriatecourt to use for prosecuting war criminals.”Their coauthored article,“Yugoslav RapeConvictions and Acquittals:A Greater Role forConspiracy Law in International Tribunals,”is in progress.Little,who specializes in federal courts,civil procedure,remedies,conflict of laws andinternational criminal law,studies the process ofjudging and decision-making from a number ofdifferent angles.One angle is “the role of emotion inadjudication,”she says. “I’ve looked at loyalty andgratitude—at jealousy and envy—and also startedto study general theories of emotion both inphilosophy and psychology to evaluate how itaffects decision-making.”Her essay on generalemotion theories,entitled “Negotiating the Tangleof Law and Emotion,”appears in the Cornell LawReview. A recent presentation on adjudication and emotion before the International TherapeuticJurisprudence Symposium will soon appear in print as well.“Another angle I’ve used is the study oflanguage used in judicial opinions,”Little says. She will discuss legal language before thePennsylvania Superior Court in June as part of her ongoing presentations before federal courtsthroughout the country. Little’s article,“The ABA’s Role in PrescreeningFederal Judicial Candidates:Are we Ready to Give up on the Lawyers?”appeared as part of asymposium in William and Mary Bill of RightsJournalin December 2001. Recently,Little discussed President Bush’sdecision to create military tribunals for prosecutionof the September 11 terrorists at the Law School’s new Institute on International Law and Public Policy.Little’s activity in the legal world has notdistracted her from the classroom:in 2000 she was awarded the Lindback Award for distinguishedteaching and received the George P. Williams IIIMemorial Award for excellence as a teacherawarded by the 1993,1997 and 2001 graduatingclasses. In 1995 she received the Friel-ScanlonPrize for outstanding scholarship.She and Barrett are the parents of two children,Caitlin,11,and Graham,9.— Janet Blom SheaTRIALADVOCACY AWARD continued from page oneamong a diverse range of lawyering venues,includingeighteen which focus on litigation or trial-oriented areas.In the current academic year,the 25 clinical coursesprovide almost 375 student slots. Approximately 75percent of day division students take at least one clinicalcourse—many will take more. The use of technology enhances trial skills Temple Law School is moving from a “fully wired”approach to a new “anytime,anywhere”philosophywhich tailors wired and wireless networks to give thelaw school community maximum flexibility.During the academic year 2000-2001,the trialadvocacy program implemented perhaps the mostexciting use of the available technology. A pilot projectwith digital files and video streaming allows trialadvocacy students to view themselves live on computerin the privacy of a computer lab or home. In traditional video review of trial techniques,astudent is critiqued in class and then immediately leavesthe class with tape in hand to meet a different instructorwho works with the advocate based on a review of thetape. The law school’s new program makes use of thetechnology of converting analog video files to digitalfiles which are then uploaded onto the internet andaccessed,along with a simultaneous review,by studentsat home or at a later time.With many innovative plans in the works,the lawschool will use the $50,000 which accompanies the EmilGumpert Award to fulfill its ambition to furtherincorporate technology into legal education.NEW DIRECTOR FOR TEMPLE LAW IN JAPANProfessorLawrence Repetais the newdirector of theJ.D. and LL.M.programs atTemple Univer-sity Law Programin Japan. Repetais an expert ongovernmentinformationdisclosuresystems and iswell-known forhis participationin the ground-breaking SupremeCourt case,Repeta vs. Japan,which established the right of observers to take notesduring court proceedings in Japan. Prior to joining Temple,Repeta practiced law inSeattle and Tokyo and was an executive in the financialservices industry in Tokyo. From 1992 through 1996,heserved as the president of Frank Russell Japan. He is a1979 graduate of University of Washington School ofLaw and is a director of the Japan Civil Liberties Unionand Information Clearinghouse Japan,two non-profitorganizations that advocate the protection offundamental human rights and the public right to know.His research has been supported by grants from theJapan Foundation and the US-Japan FriendshipCommission and he has authored numerous articles onlegal and business issues in Japan. Temple Law’s program in Japan,established in 1994,remains the only ABA-approved semester abroardprogram for American J.D. students in Asia. Studentscan also earn credits toward two master of lawsprograms at the Tokyo campus.Professor Nancy J.Knauer and AssociateProfessor Eleanor W.Myers were awardedthe inaugural“Problem Solving in the Law SchoolCurriculum Award”by the CPR Institutefor DisputeResolution. The award isgiven in recognitionof the excellence of the innovativecurriculum Knauerand Myers havedeveloped for the lawschool’s IntegratedTransactionalProgram. Courses atColumbia andStanford law schoolswere awarded honorable mention.The CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution is analliance of 500 major corporations,law firms andoutstanding academics at the forefront of resolvingbusiness and public disputes through mediation andother forms of dispute resolution. Temple’s Integrated Transactional Program is a year-long course that combines the teaching of professionalresponsibility,trusts and estates,interviewing,counseling,negotiating,and drafting with actualpractice. While studying the theory of these courses,students are separated into teams and work with eachother to close a series of simulated transactions,facingnumerous legal problems and ethical challengesthroughout the exercises.In one case,students are asked by a mother to draft apre-nuptial agreement for her son,who does not wantthe contract. “The students must protect the interests oftheir client while being sensitive to the needs of the son,who will refuse to sign a hard-nosed agreement,”explains Knauer. “Drafting the contract under thesepressures gives the students a glimpse of what practicinglaw is really like.”Myers adds,“This course teachesstudents that it’s notthe law that is hard,it’s effectivelydealing with thevarious personalitiesand emotionsinvolved that ismost difficult.”In another case,students negotiate acomplex sale of abusiness over sixweeks,encounteringobjections fromemployees and otherroadblocks along the way.Criteria for theaward includeinnovation inteaching problemsolving; substantive and pedagogical strength; and theability to be adapted by other law schools. The coursewas also recognized for its emphasis on the ethicaldimension of legal practice.Development of the Integrated Transactional Programwas underwritten by the Department of Education andthe American College of Trusts and Estates Council,andcourse materials were published by the NationalInstitute of Trial Advocacy.

SUMMER 2002 • 5ESQ. SPOTLIGHTSkadden Arps partner took the ‘long road’ to law schoolWhat do driving a taxi,working as a roughneckon an oil rig and manning a security booth have to do with preparing for a career in the law?Everything,according to Anthony W. Clark ’79,who says that an unlikely combination ofexperiences helped him to find his way to achallenging career in corporatelitigation. Clark,now a partnerin the Wilmington,Delaware,office of Skadden,Arps,Slate,Meagher & Flom may havetaken the long road to thepractice of law,but he hasenjoyed every minute of it. Clark was raised in upstateNew York and earned hisundergraduate degree from theState University of New York atCortland in 1973. An Englishmajor,it was only natural that hedevote a few years to what hefacetiously calls his “JackKerouac time.”So aftergraduation,he went “on theroad,”spending his first summerafter graduation on Puget Sound,mostly watching the Watergate hearings ontelevision. But when the summer ended,and thetypical rains of the Northwest winter loomed,hepacked up again and headed for Florida,where hedrove a taxi and worked in a car wash. With the country in a deep recession,he headedto the Longhorn State,where the oil business wasbooming. His next stop was Kermit,Texas. “I got ajob as a roughneck,”says Clark. “I was low man onthe totem pole on an oil well drilling crew. It washard work,but a great experience.”Since college,Clark had considered going to lawschool. Still toying with the idea,he decided it wastime to leave the oil fields of West Texas and satisfyhis curiosity about a career in the law. With jobs atlaw firms scarce,he needed to find a creative way toget some firsthand experience in the field. So hevolunteered for VISTA,requesting a post in a legalservices office. Clark was placed in Camden,NewJersey Regional Legal Services,where he wasimmersed in the field of welfare rights. “I worked as a paralegal and helped start an office inGloucester City. Ramping up was not an optionthere—I immediately began to appear in front of administrative law judges as a welfare rightsadvocate. In 18 months,I was involved in more than 150 trials.”His experience with VISTA helped him to land a job with well-known housing attorney PeterO’Connor. “Working with Peter gave me anappreciation for being part of a first-classoperation,”says Clark. “I really liked the law,but I was still wavering about law school. Then anacquaintance asked me,very pointedly,what I wasgoing to do with my life,and I decided then that itwas about time I get my law degree.”Clark was admitted to Temple through theSp.A.C.E. program,the law school’s discretionaryadmissions process,and attended Temple on ascholarship. “It was such a thrill to be back in school.I loved every second of it.”At Temple,Clark workedin the law library,then landed the coveted job ofsecurity guard,which requiredthat he spend the wee hours in aglass booth in the coffee room. One night between hissecond and third year,whilemanning his booth,then-deanPeter Liacouras stopped toinquire whether Clark had founda clerkship yet. He had not,andDean Liacouras suggested thathe interview with an alumnus in Delaware who was sitting onthe state court bench. So Clarkheaded for Delaware tointerview with the HonorableJoseph Longobardi ’57 andwithin 24 hours was offered a clerkship with JudgesLongobardi and Robert O’Haraof the Delaware Superior Court.A clerkship “downstate”in the Delaware SupremeCourt with the Honorable John McNeilly followed,and it started to look like Clark had found a home inDelaware. In 1981,he was hired at Skadden,Arps,Slate,Meagher & Flom. Clark was named partner in 1988,and now heads the firm’s corporate restructuring andbankruptcy litigation groups in the Wilmingtonoffice. He also handles complex corporate,securitiesand general litigation matters. Twenty-one yearslater—still at the same firm,now the perennial headof the American LawyerTop 100 list—Clark sayshe’s thrilled to have the opportunity to work at a“major league”firm,where he has represented avariety of clients including Tyson Foods,McKessonHBOC,Viacom and Sony. Needless to say,Clarkseems to have settled into what he says is the perfectsituation:“I have a great job in a world-class lawfirm,but in a very livable community.”And,in the past year,it’s only been getting better.Last spring,Clark and his wife,Traci Friess,hadtheir first child,Ross McGiffert Clark. In the fall,Clark reconnected with Temple,joining the LawSchool’s Board of Visitors. He says that he’s gratefulto be involved with his alma materand is enjoyingthe opportunity to talk with students. “I won’t livelong enough to repay all that Temple Law School hasdone for me,”says Clark. “They accepted me,gaveme a scholarship and prepared me to succeed in acareer that I love.”He followed an unconventional road on his way to a career in the law,but Clark says,“All of thoseexperiences,especially my time at Temple,taught me to persevere and ultimately succeed in my career.I wouldn’t trade a minute of it.”—Melissa Cooper BLSA HOSTS ANNUAL RECEPTIONDean Robert J.

Liacouras.Three quarters of a century after the inaugural two-volume issue of Temple Law Quarterly,past and presentmembers of the review gathered to celebrate theiraccomplishments.When the Temple Law Quarterlywas first publishedin 1927,Dean Francis Chapman was skeptical that thestudent body—mostly evening students—would havethe time to publish a legal publication four times eachyear. In the 1920s law reviews were a rarity,rather thanthe de rigeurstudent activity they have become. Thosethat existed were edited by students at larger,establishedlaw schools; in the 1920s Temple Law had only slightlyover 200 students.The president of the university,Dr. Charles E. Beurywas,however,an enthusiastic supporter of thepublication. He wrote:“The magazine will be a mostwelcome addition to the Temple University publications,and should prove a powerful agency,not only instrengthening the ties between the Faculty and studentsof the School of Law,and between the School and itsmany faithful Alumni,but also in making known thesterling qualities of our institution to the public at large.”Renamed after 60 volumes,the Temple Law Reviewhas appeared reliably throughout those 75 years,despitethe enrollment at the law school dropping to fewer than70 students during World War II.Richard H. Walker keynote speaker atanniversary Former Temple Law Revieweditor Richard H. Walker’75 addressed the audience that brought together currentand past members and supporters of Temple Law Reviewas it celebrated its 75th anniversary.

Liacouras,Professor Carl E. Singley ’72 and the HonorableDolores Korman Sloviter. Judge Sloviter,the firstwoman jurist on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the ThirdCircuit,was a member of Temple Law School’s facultyfrom 1972 to 1979 and served as adviser to the lawreview for several years.Professor Liacouras,who retired as president ofTemple University in 2001 to become UniversityChancellor and Professor of Law,was dean of the lawschool from 1972 to 1982. When in 1970 Liacouraschaired a Philadelphia Bar Association committee thatexamined the existence of racial discrimination inadmission to the Pennsylvania bar,the report waspublished in its entirety in the winter 1971 issue of theTemple Law Quarterly.Professor Singley,in 1983,became the law school’syoungest dean at the age of 36. He served in thatposition from 1983 to 1987. A 1972 alumnus of TempleLaw School,Singley joined the faculty,first as aprofessor and later as an associate dean.
