SENDUSYOURNEWS!Date ___________________________Class of ________ Degree _________On September 23,Professor JanTing was one of several “legalexperts”asked to appear on CNN with Connie Chung to discuss theallegation of racial profiling on ancommercial airplane earlier that week. Before joining the Temple LawSchool faculty in 1977,Ting wasassistant commissioner of theImmigration and NaturalizationService,and his expertise is now inhigh demand. A gifted speaker and anenthusiastic advocate for tighter restrictions onimmigration,Ting has never been one to shy fromthe public arena. In the heated atmospherefollowing the bombings of the World Trade Centerand the Pentagon,Ting has been drawn into thecenter of the media debate on a wide range ofissues stemming from the tragedy.There is a reason that Connie Chung and themedia love Professor Ting:he not only displays astrong command of the subject matter,he actuallyspeaks in full paragraphs,as witnessed in theverbatim transcript from CNN below. CHUNG:Do you think that this is a case ofracial profiling? Did the flight crew just jump toconclusions?TING:Well,I think there may be an element ofracial profiling in this case and also in a similarcase down in Florida. But I think the fact ofracial profiling doesn’t always mean that there is something wrong. I mean,again,withoutreference to the facts of these cases,which I’mnot intimately familiar with,racial profiling isnot always wrong. There are cases when it’s OK.For example …CHUNG:What are you saying,that it’sjustified,what happened?TING:For example,if you’retrying to prevent the Ku Klux Klanfrom bombing black churches andthe Klan is on a campaign ofbombing black churches,it makessense,I think,for law enforcementto be on the lookout for white guysdriving around at night in thevicinity of black churches. We wantlaw enforcement to do that. Weexpect them to do that. And it’s OK.The test for racial profiling and whether it’scommitted by the government in good faith is,first of all,is there a compelling governmentinterest that the government is trying to defend?And,secondly,is there any other way for thegovernment to do what it’s trying to do? Ifthere’s no other way,then I think thegovernment is justified in using racial profiling.I think we ought to distinguish betweenracial profiling by the government and racialprofiling by private individuals. I think it’s kindof a scary prospect to see private individualsdoing that sort of thing. The airlines are kind ofin a middle ground,because,when they’re upthere in the air,there isn’t any governmentaround that they can turn to.The CNN appearance with Chung was near theend of a whirlwind year of media appearances forTing. In a year that included appearances rangingfrom ABC’s Nightline (three times) to a speech atEllis Island to Leadership New Jersey,Ting spokeon issues as divergent as detention without chargesof U.S. citizen enemy combatants and the sixthCircuit decision in Detroit Free Press v. Ashcroft. LAVENDER LAW RECEPTIONDean Robert J.

LAW SCHOOLANDALUMNINEWS • WINTER 2002-03VISIT OUR WEBSITE: http://www.temple.edu/lawschool/WRITE TO US: lawalum@astro.ocis.temple.eduArthur G. Raynes ’59 was the guest of honor at arecent reception in the newly dedicated Arthur G.Raynes Lecture Hall. The new lecture hall is locatedon the first floor of Morris & Sylvia Barrack Hall—originally College Hall—where the first Temple classes were held more than a century ago.“Raynes Lecture Hall is an extraordinary lecturehall,combining both beauty and state-of-the-artutility,”Dean Robert Reinstein told family andfriends at the reception. “It is a fitting tribute to Arthur Raynes,who,as headof the Law School’s Centennial Campaign,helped usmeet and then far surpass our original goal of$10,000,000. Arthur’s service to Temple Universityand to the James E. Beasley School of Law islegendary.”“I’m very proud of the Law School and I was happy to bepart of this Centennial Campaign,”Raynes says. “Our goalwas to raise $10 million to refurbish College Hall where it allstarted 100 years ago. There had never been any comparablefundraising goals in the history of the school. Now,eightyears later,it’s hard to believe how our alumni and friendshave responded.“We thank Jim Beasley,Lenny Barrack,and MurrayShusterman,whose leadership gifts spearheaded our drive,sothat today we have passed the $50 million mark. There aremany people who helped make this happen,but none morethan Dean Reinstein who had the vision and the insight tosee this dream come true. Diane and I and our entire familyare proud to have a lecture hall named in my honor.”The design of the hall,by Neil Schlosser,architect,SRKof Philadelphia,resembles a theatre in the round,with ahorseshoe-shaped arrangement of tiered seating for 78students. This allows the teacher to stand at the podium or towalk into the center of the classroom in order to speakdirectly to students.Schlosser says the hall is“equipped with the latestelectronic educationaltechnology,including roboticcameras,projectors,soundsystems and computer connections.”The softness of the deepgreen carpet,the upholstered seating,and the sound-absorbingfabric wall panels at the rear of the room,as well as thenewly-installed floating concrete floor and double glazedwindows,isolate unwanted exterior sound and mitigateinterior acoustic noise.The chairs are not only upholstered,but also adjustable asto height and slant. “The chairs are nice—much morecomfortable,”says Jennie Phillips,a first-year student,whowaited with other students to talk with Associate Dean andProfessor JoAnne A. Epps after a class in criminal law.“It’s spectacular,”says Professor Epps. “This is liketeaching in your living room. No one is beyond arm’s reach,so you can have a conversation as opposed to a cold formalquestion and answer session.”Raynes is founding partner of Raynes,McCarty,Binder,Ross & Mundy,and a former chancellor of the PhiladelphiaBar Association. He is a distinguished trial lawyer,with anational and international reputation for his work on behalf ofhis clients.—Janet Blom SheaArthur G. and Diane RaynesThe Arthur G.
