MONSIGNOR

SHEERAN Leaves Seton Hall with a Tremendous Legacy

After leading Seton Hall University to unprecedented growth, financial stability, and academic achievement, Monsignor Robert Sheeran will step down in June 2010 after 15 years as president

He shared with the University ’s Board of Regents that it was a “deeply personal and spiritual decision.” He explained to The New York Times that his decision was reached after months of reflection and conversation with colleagues “As a priest, I try to listen to what God is saying,” he said “It doesn’t have to do with university or church life, but with where I am as a priest at this time in my life.”

Monsignor Sheeran first became involved with the Law School when he chaired the search committee that chose Dean Ronald Riccio in 1988. He said, “I admire the commitment to our Catholic tradition reflected in many ways, especially its dedication to social justice and the uncommon strength of its community Law School alumni are family, having developed close ties with faculty, and with one another, which endure for a lifetime ”

Next year, he said, he will step down with gratitude for the opportunity to have played a par t in the school’s most impressive period of growth and success He added congratulations to Dean Pat Hobbs “on his 10th anniversary as an outstanding leader ” Monsignor Sheeran’s presidency has been marked by wide-ranging changes in all aspects of University life, including a five-fold increase in the endowment and the strongest financial position the institution has enjoyed over its 153-year histor y None of his predecessors has had a longer tenure than his 15 years at the helm

His overarching focus has been to raise Seton Hall’s academic profile to greater national recognition and increased prominence within the state By all accounts, Monsignor Robert Sheeran has succeeded in that mission, and the Law School has played a significant role in that as, he said, “one of the University ’s outstanding engines of quality ” The Board of Regents has established a search committee, chaired by Joseph P. LaSala, a member of the University Board of Regents, as well as the Law School’s Board of Visitors The regents hope to name a successor in time for the new president to take the reins in July 2010.

Center for Health & Pharmace Law & Polic y Calls for Reformi Marketing of Drugs and Devic

In its first white paper, issued January 2009, the Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy has issued a call for broad reform to address conflic ts of interests in the marketing of drugs and devices to doctors Titled, “Drug and D evice Promotion: Char ting a Course for Polic y Reform, ” the white paper calls for : (1) mak ing transparent the payments by drug and device companies to doctors; (2) banning gifts, meals, and other benefits provided to doctors under the current marketing model; (3) granting the FDA the authority to require safety and efficacy studies for drugs and devices used off-label; and (4) phasing out industr y funding of continuing medical education (CME)

Th e w h i t e p a p e r fo c u s e s o n r e fo r m s t o r e d u ce p o t e n t i a l c o n f l i c t s, e n h a n ce transparenc y, and shore up public trust in both the medical profession and the drug

LUCAS TOWNSEND ’04 is Seton Hall Law ’ s First Supreme Cour t Clerk

Seton Hall Law is pleased to announce that Lucas Townsend ‘04 was appointed Clerk to Supreme Cour t Justice Samuel A Alito This is a tremendous accomplishment for Mr. Townsend, and a significant milestone in the history of Seton Hall Law

While a student at Seton Hall, Mr Townsend served as Executive Editor of the SETON HALL LAW REVIEW and was a research assistant to Professor Timothy Glynn Upon graduation, he was inducted into the Order of the Coif From 2004 to 2006, Mr Townsend served as a law clerk to the Honorable Harold A. Ackerman on the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and from 2006 to 2007 as a law clerk to the Honorable Maryanne Trump Barry on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals

In 2007, Mr Townsend was hired by the United States Department of Justice through its Honors Program, and then worked for the Office of Intelligence, a component of the Department of Justice’s National Security Division He was also a recipient of a Samuel Heyman Fellowship, which is awarded to Seton Hall Law students who pursue federal public service

Justice Alito taught as an adjunct professor at Seton Hall for several years when he served on the Third Circuit prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court in 2006. He was the Seton Hall Law Commencement speaker in 2007

Seton Hall Law is grateful for the support of Judge Ackerman, Judge Trump Barry, and Mr Heyman and all they do to help our students fulfill their career aspirations. The Seton Hall Law community also extends its congratulations to Lucas Townsend for this momentous achievement

THE DEAN’S DIVERSIT Y COUNCIL CELEBRATING THE DIVERSIT Y THAT ENRICHES A COMMUNIT Y

between industry and medicine that is critical to biomedical research and public health advances.

The Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy fosters dialogue to develop concrete solutions to the ethical, legal, and social questions in the health and pharmaceutical arenas

The white paper may be found at http://law.shu.edu/center/whitepaper.pdf

n recognition of the importance diversity plays in building strong ommunities, Dean Patrick E. Hobbs has created the Dean’s Advisor y Council on Diversity Comprised of aculty, administrators, alumni, and tudent leaders, the Council promotes a diverse and inclusive academic and legal community, offers guidance to student organiations, and suppor ts the law chool’s efforts to recruit students rom diverse backgrounds

Diversity in all its forms is an essential part of who we are as a community,” noted Professor Solangel Maldonado, Chair of the Diversity Council

As part of building greater appreciation for the diversity that makes up Seton Hall Law, the Council assisted in the launch of a number of initiatives over the past year, including a Diversity Day Career Panel and a New York City theater outing. The year ’s highlight was, “Diversity in the Legal Profession, Diversity in Leadership,” an event held with the New Jersey Legal Education Empowerment Program (NJ LEEP) featuring Theodore V. Wells, Jr., Partner at Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison LLP and Co-Chair of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund Board of Directors; and Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark. A program supported by Seton Hall Law, NJ LEEP assists urban youth with developing the academic and other skills required for success

As a result of the Council’s efforts, Seton Hall Law was selected to host the Third National People of Color Legal Scholarship Conference in 2010.

FACULTY HIGHLIGHTS

Professors Denis F. McLaughlin and John B. Wefing Presented with Distinguished Service Awards

Both steadfast supporters of Seton Hall Law, the University, and the legal community, Professors Denis F. McLaughlin and John B. Wefing recently were presented with several awards in recognition of their service and contributions

In May, Seton Hall University bestowed upon Professor McLaughlin the McQuaid Medal for Distinguished Service to the University The award is presented each year to a member of the faculty, administration, or staff who has “served beyond measure with selfless dedication and high distinction.” The medal is named in honor of Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid, the first president of Seton Hall University. Professor Wefing received the McQuaid Medal in 1988.

Also in May, Dean Patrick E. Hobbs presented Professor McLaughlin and Professor Wefing with the first Law School Service Awards for their ongoing support of the Law School as evidenced by their participation in Law School events and assistance to administrators in their day-to-day operations and long-range planning processes.

Last September, Professor Wefing also received the Saint Thomas More Medal at the annual Red Mass in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the law and service to the community and Catholic Church

William E. Garland, one of Seton Hall Law’s most beloved professors, passed away in January 2009. He graduated from Seton Hall Law School in 1969 and returned as an adjunct professor in 1970. He became a full professor in 1976, and served as associate dean from 1983 to 1984. Over the years, Professor Garland taught many classes, but was most noted for teaching property and bankruptcy courses. He was also instrumental in the formation and multi-decade success of Seton Hall Law’s Legal Education Opportunities (LEO) program to provide gifted law school aspirants from economically and educationally challenged backgrounds with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to succeed in the study of law. Professor Garland often referred to his participation in the LEO program as one of the highlights of his legal career.

Eileen Denner, Head of Reader Services, respected librarian, and valuable assistant to hundreds of Seton Hall Law students and scores of faculty, passed away in January 2009. She played a key role in assisting with transitioning the Peter W. Rodino Law Library from a book-based culture to an electronic world. Her connections to Seton Hall also were long and deep She earned both her B.A. and J.D. from Seton Hall, and served the library in varying capacities for 25 years.

RACHEL D. GODSIL

Leads

HUD

Advisory Team

Economic growth depends on the strength and success of our metropolitan areas, and a properly aligned Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is essential for building the partnerships that can make that happen, notes the report, “Retooling HUD for a Catalytic Federal Government: A Report to Secretary Shaun Donovan.” Spearheaded by Professor Rachel D Godsil and Paul Brophy, Visiting Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, the report details 10 specific ways HUD can become a more effective engine of innovation in urban areas. Professor Godsil’s work on the report followed her service as convener of the Urban and Metropolitan Policy Committee for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign

“ The concept that the federal government can be a partner in urban grown and revitalization certainly is not a new one,” said Professor Godsil “What is new is that we stand at a point in time when this is most likely to be realized if we enable HUD to become a more successful partner with state and local governments and the private sector.”

A team of 100 housing, urban, and metropolitan development exper ts from across the nation participated in developing the report Professor Godsil and the other task force chairs met with Secretary Donovan and his staff last March to present the report’s recommendations. The report, issued by the Penn Institute for Urban Research and supported with a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, is available at www.upenn.edu/penniur

PROFESSOR JOHN B. WEFING

Authors THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RICHARD J. HUGHES: THE POLITICS OF CIVILIT Y

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RICHARD J HUGHES; THE POLITICS OF CIVILIT Y (Rivergate Books), by Professor John B. Wefing, explores the influential career of New Jersey ’s first Catholic governor and the only person in New Jersey history to serve both as Governor and Chief Justice of its Supreme Court. Professor Wefing was the first holder of the Hughes Chair at Seton Hall Law The biography, based on Professor Wefing’s extensive research and interviews with prominent politicians and leaders, illuminates the Governor ’s many accomplishments, including formation of the county college system and the establishment of stringent anti-pollution laws. Governor Hughes served a pivotal role during the Newark riots. In his service as Chief Justice, he led the Supreme Court through numerous difficult issues such as school funding, low- and moderate-income housing needs, and the right to die.

2009 DISTINGUISHED GRADUATE—

ROBERT L. BAECHTOLD

He is one of the nation’s top intellectual property attorneys: the go-to expert on Hatch-Waxman, the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, and a whole host of other IP-related statutory schemes and provisions. In over four decades of practice, he has assisted many pharmaceutical companies in defense of their patents

What is less known about Robert L Baechtold ’66, Partner and member of the Management Committee at Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto, is the pride he takes in two other accomplishments: helping to build a firm, now numbering more than 180 lawyers in three cities, that rewards its people based on per formance, not partner status; and, his 50-year-long marriage to his wife, Thelma. (Of course he takes no credit for his long and successful marriage. That, he says, “is my wife’s accomplishment. She puts up with me.”)

CHEMIST

TURNED IP LAWYER

Chemistry was Baechtold’s passion as a child, along with singing in a chorus an interest he still pursues today when offered the opportunity Similar to his father, who worked his way up as an accountant even though he never graduated high school, learning comes naturally to Mr Baechtold Growing up in North Bergen, he started high school at the age of 13 and graduated in three years. After earning his B.S. in Chemistry from Rutgers University, where he met his wife, Thelma, he obtained a position with American Cyanamid work ing on polymers. Soon he was tasked with invention development and partnered with an attorney to help draft the requisite patents. The experience ignited his interest in patent law and he made the decision then to attend law school When he went on to earn his law degree, he graduated at the top of his Seton Hall Law School class

40 CLINTON STREET

Recalling the days that lead up to his enrollment as a law student at 40 Clinton Street, Mr. Baechtold notes there was significant nationwide pressure on law schools to eliminate evening divisions and to prohibit students from working.

Despite the trend, Seton Hall Law retained its evening program. “If not for Seton Hall Law, I would not have been able to obtain my law degree,” says Mr. Baechtold. “I was married and we had a child; I needed to continue working and attend school in the evenings.”

While the 40 Clinton Street building “had a rickety elevator, was always hot in summer and cold in winter,” Baechtold fondly recalls, “we had a good deal especially as evening students ” Despite having other responsibilities, the evening students were able to develop a strong camaraderie Some of his fondest memories are of the Friday evening rap sessions held by Professor Robert Diab at Arnold’s, the local pub.

While in law school, he worked in the Patent Department at M&T Chemicals. Alerted that the law firm of Ward, Haselton, McElhannon, Orne, Brooks & Fitzpatrick was looking for a chemist who could write pharmaceutical patents, he applied and obtained the position He joined that firm in 1965, and became a partner just five years later He and five other partners left that firm in 1971 to establish Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto The firm founders’ goal was to “build a cohesive, collegial institution by sharing profits and not getting greedy,” relays Baechtold’s partner Nicholas Cannella. “ They wanted to develop a firm based on the principles of meritocracy, fairness, and never being satisfied with something that was just good enough.”

‘CANDLE POWER’

Mr Baechtold notes that his work as an IP lawyer allows him to utilize his technical skills in a much more expansive way than his early work as a researcher Being a lawyer, he notes, involves multiple skills as well as a talent for working with people and a passion for solving problems “He’s one of those lawyers who really loves the practice of law,” says Mr Cannella “He loves the mental challenge and the theater of the courtroom presentation He doesn’t mind sitting at his desk at 11 at night. Instead, he’s whistling away because he’s fine-tuning a case for the next day.”
