Mackiewicz was a nationally renowned intellectualproperty practitioner and trial lawyerwho passed away in February of this year.The firm is donating $50,000 toprovide a scholarship to a student,selected by Dean Robert J. Reinstein,who excels in intellectual property law. As the fundexpands with contributions from colleagues and friends,the scope of the fund will change,possibly to a mootcourt competition or writing contest. “John was an extraordinary person and an extra-ordinary lawyer,”says Dean Reinstein. “His dedicationto continually building upon his extensive wealth ofknowledge,both professionally and personally,is awonderful example for our students.”“John loved patent law,and he strove for legalexcellence. He was equally passionate about education.Thus,we think it is especially fitting to honor John byestablishing a memorial fund that rewards legalacademic excellence in the IP area,”said Dale Heist,chair of the firm’s management committee. “Temple,John’s alma mater,is the logical choice. It has thehighest rated trial advocacy program in the country,aswell as a large and growing IP curriculum.”BEASLEY SCHOLAR RECEIVESATLA SCHOLARSHIPLaura Carlin ’02,a member of the first group of BeasleyScholars,is the mostrecent recipient of the Alia HerreraMemorial ATLAAuxiliary Scholar-ship. One student isselected annuallyfrom law schoolsacross the country to receive thisprestigiousscholarship. Carlin was also a member of Temple’s four-person National Championship Trial Team thatwon this year’s national ATLA trial competition. The scholarship competition required Carlinto write an essay titled:“The Professional TrialLawyer:Why Is Civility Not a Sign ofWeakness But a Badge of Honor?”In her 500-word essay,Carlin drew on hertrial team experience:“We are taught to act withdeference for the Court and respect for the otherside. It is our badge of honor,a sign of ourstrength. … It is the strong,the civil,whowould rather lose than lie,who have thepatience to listen sincerely to others’views,whouse reason and grace to resolve dispute.”To receive the scholarship,Carlin was theguest of honor at a luncheon during the ATLAAnnual Convention in Montreal in July—at theexact time that she and the other members ofthe Temple team were being honored for theirnational championship performance. Professor Edward Ohlbaum,Director of TrialAdvocacy and Clinical Legal Education,elaborates on the coincidence:“Here’s the bestpart. The scholarship committee had no ideathat Laura was a member of the winning trialteam when it decided to give her the award.“I have read her essay and was moved by thequiet passion and indomitable confidence withwhich she writes,and,as her coaches as well asthe ATLA trial judges can attest,to the way shetries cases.”PUBLIC INTEREST SCHOLARNAMED TO BOARD OF NATIONAL PUBLIC INTERESTORGANIZATIONPublic InterestScholar MarloCohen ’03 has beennamed to the boardof directors of theNational Associationfor Public InterestLaw (NAPIL).“Marlo is doing anoutstanding jobserving on ourboard,”says NAPILExecutive DirectorDavid Stern. “It’squite an accomplishment for a law student tohold a leadership position with a national,nonprofit,social justice organization.”Cohen entered Beasley Law School in 2000as one of four students selected for theinaugural year of the Public Interest ScholarProgram.

The always popularprogram in Rome,Italy this year drew an all-time high of 85 students,and 32 traveled to Athens,Greece. The popularity of law school summerprograms abroad can be attributed to severalfactors. Assistant Dean Adelaide Fergusonsays,“Law students at Temple are naturallyreceptive to being prepared for globalized legalpractice. Many of them chose to come to Templebecause of our strength in international law.”Many law students have previous experience with study abroad from their undergraduate years.Ferguson notes that evening students,who have nottraditionally had the flexibility in their schedules to leave Philadelphia,arenow joining the day studentsheading to programs abroad for asummer,or in the case of theprogram in Japan,a full semester.Professors Louis Natali and AliceAbreu co-directed the program inRome,with a faculty that includedTemple Professors Jane Baron,Susan DeJarnatt,and Laura Little,who co-taught a course with herhusband Rich Barrett.

FALL 2001 • 5ESQ. SPOTLIGHTSome Temple classmates had their doubts when JoeMaternowski told them he washeaded west to Minneapolis aftergraduation,to pursue a career inenvironmental law. “All they could envision wereMinnesota Viking football games,sub-zero weather,and deepsnow,”says Maternowski. “Butthere is more than just deep snowin Minneapolis. It’s a wonderfulcommunity and a great place toraise a family.”Maternowski grew up inGrand Rapids,Michigan. Duringhigh school,he worked on thesuccessful congressionalcampaign of Richard VanderVeen. After theelection,Maternowski spent part of his senior yearas a clerk with VanderVeen in Washington,thenheaded to Yale University to major in history.After graduating in 1978,Maternowski returnedto Michigan to work on another political campaign,spent time in Boston with a political consultingfirm,and then returned to Washington to work forRalph Nader’s Public Citizen and for CongressmanMatthew McHugh.In 1981,Maternowski decided,“I wanted to goto law school to put my interests in public policy touse in other ways.”He headed for Philadelphia andTemple Law School. During his second year at Temple,when hebegan looking for a summer job,he interviewedwith a lot of firms in the Philadelphia area. Then,with a friend,he decided to go out toMinneapolis and interview for jobs there. “We hada tremendous reception from the firms in the TwinCities. I hit it off extremely well with the lawyers inthe Attorney General’s Office who liked my publicpolicy background.”The competition was tough,but Maternowskilanded a summer job with the environmentalprotection division of the Attorney General’s Office,and was later offered a full-time job. “It was mydream job,”he says. “We were enforcingenvironmental laws and dealing with pollutionissues and cleanups.”When Maternowski left the public sector to joinLindquist and Vennum he learned about the otherside of environmental enforcement. He saw how“private clients and local government units andother people were impacted by the laws I’d beenworking to enforce for seven years. . . . It reallyopened my eyes,”he says.Soon a partner asked him to handle a case inwhich Rollie’s Sales,a rural small business,wasbeing sued by the Minnesota Pollution ControlAgency,Maternowski’s former state agency client.“Rollie’s Sales was movingunderground oil tanks fromschools,highway departmentsand gas stations. They wererecycling waste petroleumfrom the tanks and using itagain to heat buildings,”Maternowski recalls.The cited violations wereminor,but the MPCA pursuedthe case vigorously,seekingfines from the owner and hisson of $25,000 a day. Despiteattempts to negotiate,the casedragged on for four years. In the end,the court ruledin favor of Rollie Walsh andhis son,fining them $3,400for the few violations that the State had proven.But by now they owed some $120,000 in legalfees. Maternowski went back into court and askedfor legal fees,under the rarely used MinnesotaEqual Access to Justice Act. He obtained aprecedent-setting $65,000 attorney’s fee awardfrom the state,the highest ever awarded under the act.“Personally,I’m pro-environment,”Maternowski says. “But I also believe thegovernment can go too far. When it does,government is a threat.”Over the years he has advised clients onenvironmental and regulatory compliance in suchareas as air,water,groundwater,solid andhazardous waste management and enforcement. Hehas been involved in environmental litigation andmanaged Superfund matters for corporate clients inthe Twin Cities and across the country.In 1991,he joined Moss & Barnett,where he isnow a shareholder. Maternowski says he is“engaged mostly in transactional law practice,working in real estate commercial transactions,butstill working 100 percent of my time onenvironmental law,which is my chief interest.”During law school,Maternowski was one of thefounders of the Environmental Law and TechnologyJournal,a student-run academic journal firstpublished in 1984. He still writes articles onenvironmental matters,including a newsletter forhis law firm. He is a frequent lecturer on the samesubject and is involved in local politics. Maternowski and his wife Stephanie Warne areparents of Max,12,and Maria,10. “I had a lot of lucky breaks along the way,but alot of it is what you do yourself and where you putyourself,”Maternowski says. “I said,‘I’m going togo out to Minneapolis and get a job’—and I gotlucky—I did.”—Janet Blom SheaCLASSNOTES1955 Harvey Bernard Rubensteinhas been elected president of theboard of directors of theDelaware Bar Foundation.Rubenstein is a past president ofthe Delaware State BarAssociation,a recipient of the1995 ABA Sole Practitioners ofthe Year Award,and is presentlya member of the ABA house of delegates.1958 Edward Blumsteinhasreceived the Volunteer of theYear Award from the Academyof Family Mediators,and is anadjunct lecturer in Temple’scustody mediation clinic.1961Royersford attorney HyMyersonwas recently honoredby the Valley Forge chapter ofthe National Sojourners,afraternal organization of militaryofficers,for his litigation onbehalf of Vietnam veteransaffected by Agent Orange. 1963Herbert A.
