Dear Friends:
Fall is a welcome time in Chapel Hill. Faculty and
students return fresh from worthwhile summers, and
we greet a new class of eager, yet anxious first-years. It’s
wonderful to feel the energy level rise in Van HeckeWettach Hall.
The fall is also a busy time for alumni activity. Indeed,
this October, a record 700 alumni returned to Chapel
Hill for our annual Law Alumni Weekend. The highlight
was the bestowal of four alumni awards. I’d like to offer
warm congratulations to the Distinguished Alumni
Jack Boger
Award recipients: N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper,
long-time Parker Poe partner Jim Preston and ACLU
attorney Reggie Shuford, and to the Outstanding Recent Graduate, Harriet Twiggs Small,
an associate at Smith Moore. We were delighted to see so many of you, and hope that many
more of you will join us next year.
Carolina Law aspires to become the finest, truly public law school in the nation and
seeks to fulfill its four-fold mission to (1) prepare outstanding lawyers and leaders for the
bar, the bench, all public and private law settings and public service; (2) to make nationally
and internationally significant legal and policy contributions through an ambitious agenda
of research and scholarship; (3) to instill lifelong ethical values, dedication to the cause of
justice and a lasting commitment to pro bono and public service; and (4) to serve the legal
profession, the people and institutions of North Carolina, the nation and the world.
When I became dean in 2006, I identified a series of priorities to carry out this mission:
enlarging the faculty; strengthening the administrative staff; increasing scholarship assistance for
students; planning for a new building; and creating a budget that would support these goals.
Since 2006, through the generosity of the University, the North Carolina General Assembly,
and our alumni and friends, we have hired 14 new faculty, found new leadership for the Career
Services Office and hired four professional counselors, expanded our academic support efforts
to improve student success and bar performance, increased our scholarship support by more
than $1 million, and completed conceptual plans for a new, greatly enlarged, state-of-the-art
law school building at Carolina North, UNC’s expansion campus. We have done this while
keeping our tuition low to maintain our commitment to broad access and public service.
Much work lies ahead as we seek to realize our highest aspirations. We will continue to
search for outstanding faculty since wonderful scholars and teachers will continue to be
the bedrock of our academic program. This year alone we hope to hire in tax, corporate
law, media law, clinical programs, and civil rights. We are responding to the changes in
the modern practice of law through a multi-year effort to reform our curriculum. We
are poised to move forward with building planning and construction, as soon as the fiscal
climate of the state improves enough for the General Assembly to commit new funds.
Our students need employment help during this challenging economic time, and we will
continue to seek ways to assist them, including soliciting your best advice and support.
We’ve always been grateful for your wise counsel, your friendship, and your financial
contributions, and we’ll need them now more than ever. Thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely,
UNC School of Law Office

THIRD-YEAR LAW STUDENT ERIKA DEAN
grew up listening to National Public
Radio (NPR), and this past summer she
was an intern with NPR’s legal affairs
correspondent, Nina Totenberg. Dean spent
the first part of her summer break working
in the fast-paced setting of a daily news
agency, shuttling between the Supreme
Erika Dean
Court and NPR offices in Washington, D.C.
“[Totenberg] does an amazing amount of research before
getting on the air,” says Dean.
Dean knows first-hand how much preparation goes into a news
story because she spent most of her internship researching, lining
up phone calls and reviewing Supreme Court opinions to distill the
information that listeners want to know.
“I’ve gotten good at reading decisions from a media
perspective,” says Dean, who explains that there is a difference
between what law students and lawyers would look for versus
what is informative to the wider listening public. “I had to pick out
things that make the public remember a particular case or dissent
– something that captures the essence of the ruling.”
Beischers Extend Challenge
to Match Gifts to the
Banking Center
IN MARCH 2007, George ’66 and Susan Beischer pledged to match
up to $1 million to support the Center for Banking and Finance,
matching funds raised between July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2010.
In light of the challenging economic times, the Beischers agreed
during the spring of 2009 to extend the challenge period to June 30,
2011. If the challenge is fully met, the $2 million in endowment gifts
will yield $100,000 in annual income to support the activities of the
center. “We are so thankful to those who have already expressed
their support,” says Lissa Broome, Wachovia Professor of Banking
Law and director of the center. “The Beischer Challenge will provide
us with the opportunity to become a stronger part of the national
banking and finance community.”

March, during her third year of school. The
distinguished students program was established
by the College Education Committee to honor law
students of demonstrated talent and interest in
bankruptcy law. Students are chosen according
to their performance in the classroom as well as
involvement in outside activities pertaining to
bankruptcy.
The college selects one distinguished student
from half the circuits each year. This year, students
were selected from the First, Second, Third,
Fourth, Ninth and Eleventh Circuits. Gardner was
nominated by Elizabeth Gibson, Burton Craige
Professor of Law, and Melissa Jacoby, George R.
Ward Professor of Law.
“In addition to excelling in her course work,
Sabrina is a well-rounded member of the community
who finds time to participate in a range of projects,”
said Jacoby, who also cited Gardner’s volunteer work

Students Work with N.C. Home
Foreclosure Prevention Project
SIX UNC SCHOOL OF LAW STUDENTS volunteered for the
N.C. State Home Foreclosure Prevention project, which
was recognized this summer by Gov. Beverly Perdue and
the N.C. Office of the Commissioner of Banks (NCCOB) for
helping more than 1,000 North Carolina homeowners avoid
foreclosure since the program’s inception.
The General Assembly enacted the emergency program
in 2008 to reduce foreclosures on subprime loans and
directed NCCOB to develop and implement it. “The program
requires mortgage companies to file notices with the state
in advance of foreclosure on subprime loans and authorizes
the Deputy Commissioner of Banks Mark Pearce to delay a
foreclosure filing by 30 days if the commissioner believes a
foreclosure can be prevented.
“I remind my students that they are learning about banking
and finance law at an historic time,” says Lissa Broome,
Wachovia Professor of Banking Law and director of the
UNC Center for Banking and Finance, which hosted representatives
from NCCOB to discuss the Foreclosure Project at the school in
October 2008. Broome notes that professor Adam Feibelman was
instrumental in organizing the lecture on campus. “When Adam
heard that they were looking for law students to conduct a ‘Red-Flag
Review’ of loan documents, he knew this was an opportunity for our
students to learn about banking law while helping the people of
North Carolina.”
Sylvia Novinsky, assistant dean for public service programs,
says she expects more students to volunteer for this project in the
2009–2010 academic year.

from universities across the United States and Canada to examine
the consequences of globalization on families and to consider the
effectiveness of government responses to the difficulties posed
by globalization. “The globalization of the economy has placed
unrelenting pressures on contemporary families by demanding
longer hours in the workplace, straining interpersonal relationships

“We recognized the need for a thoughtful

R
ecent debates over the future of financial markets
has demanded innovative thinking about regulation,
including words of caution offered by UNC School
of Law faculty members Saule Omarova and Adam Feibelman
in a recent article titled “Risks, Rules, and Institutions: A Process
for Reforming Financial Regulation.” Their work appears in the
University of Memphis Law Review, volume 39, this fall.
“We recognized the need for a thoughtful approach to
developing a proposal for regulatory reform,” explains Omarova,
assistant professor of law. “To be truly effective in preventing or
minimizing future meltdowns, regulatory reform needs to be based
on a firm and up-to-date understanding of where we stand in
today’s financial markets.”
The majority of proposals for reform contain good ideas, says
Omarova, but she and Feibelman are concerned that many of
those recommendations seem to focus primarily on the issues of
regulatory structure or respond to specific instances of market
failure commonly associated with the recent financial crisis.
Adam Feibelman
Saule Omarova
“Instead of rushing in to reshuffle regulatory agencies or enact
new rules for specific types of financial products or institutions, we
should put together a process whereby the entire financial services
industry is being mapped out in terms of how that industry is
structured and how it operates, especially as it emerges from the
current crisis,” says Omarova.
She suggests that it’s important to first determine who the
players are in the current economy, examine their business lines
and risk profiles, and then determine what needs to be done.
Omarova acknowledges that an extensive review process could
be both politically unpopular and time-consuming, but she
believes it would yield a more efficient and adaptive regulatory
system in the long run.
“Such a comprehensive review will allow us to reassess the
current methods of regulating and minimizing specific risks posed
by segments of today’s complex financial markets,” says Omarova.
“Only after addressing these regulatory issues should we consider
changes in the institutional structure of financial regulation – such
as how many regulatory agencies should be involved and what
their respective functions should be.”
The article received advanced mention in the July 5 edition of
a regular column in the Atlantic magazine authored by Richard
A. Posner, a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for
the Seventh Circuit in Chicago and a leading scholar in law and
economics. Posner lauded Omarova and Feibelman’s work, noting
that “the article discusses a number of proposals for financial
regulatory reform, but its main significance is its careful attention
to the process of effective regulatory reform. The authors properly
emphasize the importance of careful, step-by-step program design,
based on a solid body of knowledge. The Administration could
with profit heed their suggestions.”

P
ublic service is a common
theme in the career advice
that Michael Gerhardt offers
to students. Gerhardt is the Samuel
Ashe Distinguished Professor in
Constitutional Law and director of the
Center for Law and Government, and
he often reminds students that part
of their duty as lawyers is service to
community. Indeed, he has often been
of service to the nation himself. Most
recently, Gerhardt spent the summer
Michael Gerhardt
serving as special counsel to Sen.
Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and the Senate
Judiciary Committee on the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to
the U.S. Supreme Court. On Aug. 7, she was confirmed as an associate
justice by a 68-31 vote.
“I want to be a good role model to my students,” says Gerhardt,
who assisted Sen. Leahy and his staff and the chief counsels of all
Democratic senators on the Judiciary Committee with research and
preparation for the hearings. What type of public service students seek
is up to them, says Gerhardt. “There are many ways for lawyers to
serve the public, whether they are in private practice or not.”
Gerhardt, who teaches classes on constitutional law, the legislative
process, and Congress and the presidency, says his experience enriches his
understanding of the process of confirming a Supreme Court justice.
This is his fourth contribution to the appointment of a Supreme
Court Justice. In 1994, Gerhardt assisted President Bill Clinton’s
White House Counsel’s office in preparing for the confirmation
proceedings for Justice Stephen Breyer. In 2005, he advised several
senators on President George W. Bush’s nomination of John Roberts
as Chief Justice. In 2006, he testified before the Senate Judiciary
Committee on the Supreme Court nomination of Justice Samuel
Alito Jr.
“It was an extraordinary honor and privilege to serve in this
capacity,” says Gerhardt, noting that he was not the only professor
of law who had been asked to participate. Professor Orin Kerr of
George Washington University served in the same capacity for Senate
Judiciary Committee member Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).
Gerhardt is co-author of a constitutional reader and has written

Gasaway Examines Libraries
and the Copyright Act of 1909
DONN YOUNG
A
century ago, the U.S.
Congress passed the
Copyright Act of 1909,
attempting among other things to
find a balance between the interests
of publishers and libraries.That
tension continues today, especially
as the digital revolution adds a
new layer of complication to the
issue of duplicating published
materials, says Laura N. Gasaway,
associate dean for academic affairs
Laura N. Gasaway
and professor of law.
Gasaway presented her analysis of the issue this past April at the
Conference on the 100th Anniversary of the 1909 Copyright Act
at Santa Clara University School of Law. Her article on the same
topic is scheduled for publication in a special edition of the Santa
Clara Law Review early next year.
“Although the 1909 act was replaced by the current Copyright
Act of 1976, the 1909 act addressed many issues that led the U.S.
into the modern era,” says Gasaway, whose research has focused on
copyright issues. “Many copyright scholars believe that the 1909
act had the balance between creators and users more
properly assigned, and that the later act moved too
far toward the author and publisher side of the
equation. This is a great time to look back and see
what issues were important at the turn of the 20th
century and compare them to the issues that are
important for the 21st century.”
Gasaway notes that disputes between librarians
and publishers go back to the latter part of the
19th century. Libraries are a significant market for
publishers – but publishers have historically worried
that libraries and free access to materials may also

back and see what issues
were important at the turn of
the 20th century and compare

undercut their broader markets. In 1909, the primary sources of
tension were the use of copyrighted music and the importing of
books printed overseas – but Gasaway says that the concerns raised
in the early 20th century were harbingers of what was to come
over photocopying and other forms of reproduction.
“Many of the arguments made in the conferences and hearings
leading up to the Copyright Act of 1909 were the same arguments
made in 1976 about libraries and reproduction,” she says. “The
arguments certainly continue today about digital copying both by
individual users and by libraries.”
And, she says, the disputes are not likely to end soon. Gasaway
served as co-chair of the Section 108 study group, a national group
of experts convened by the U.S. Copyright Office and the Library
of Congress that has developed recommendations to balance the
interests of creators with those of librarians and archives.
“Just as users and libraries are now able to reproduce
copyrighted works in new ways using digital technology, that same
technology allows copyright holders to control and detect copying
in ways that they never could in the past,” observes Gasaway,
adding that the study section’s report, available at www.section108.

Conley Explores
Legal Implications
of Patenting Genes
DONN YOUNG
T
he concept of patenting
genes is both a
contemporary scientific
concern and a complicated legal
reality, says John M. Conley,
William Rand Kenan Jr. Professor
of Law.
Conley has published on the
issue since 2003, when he and
biologist Robert Makowski, now
a lawyer, first raised the question
of whether isolated or purified
John M. Conley
genes are sufficiently different
from the naturally occurring variety to be patentable. He
currently has an article in press with the Chicago-Kent Law Review
titled “Gene Patents and the Product of Nature Doctrine,” and
he is working on these issues at the UNC Center for Genomics
and Society.
Conley, who has taught patent law for 25 years, educated
himself in biology as he studied the growing field of
biotechnology in order to understand the question of when and
how genes could be patented. Of the 30,000 genes in the human
genome, more than 4,000 are already patented, he says.
At this point, Conley says the biggest concerns he has heard
are those raised by medical practitioners who worry about the
barrier that patents might create to necessary medical testing.
For example, the breast cancer gene BRCA1 is under patent by
Myriad, a spin-off from the University of Utah. When clinicians
and patients want to test for the gene, the process involves
obtaining a license from Myriad, which may add expense to
health care, says Conley. Likewise, anyone who wants to do
research on this gene or any other patented gene has to obtain
a license. Other patented genes include those involved in tumor
suppression and the production of red blood cells.
The American Medical Association and several other major
medical and patient organizations recently filed briefs in support
of the ACLU’s Women’s Legal Project, in support of its lawsuit
challenging the patents on two human genes associated with
breast and ovarian cancer.
Conley became interested in the issue of gene patenting when
the Supreme Court decided Diamond v. Chakrabarty in 1980. The
court’s five-to-four decision supported the patenting of bacteria,
which had been altered with inserted genetic material because
the end product, the altered bacteria, could not have been
produced in nature.
“I started noticing that patents on genes were proliferating. No
one seemed to be asking the fundamental questions, ‘Why are
genes patentable?’ and ‘Why are they not products of nature?’”
recalls Conley. “Yet when I taught this stuff to students and talked
about it to faculty members who are not patent lawyers, they all
said, ‘That’s crazy, you can’t patent a gene’ – but you can.”
The answer to when and how genes can be patented is
complex and subtle, argues Conley. Generally speaking, genes are
patented in “isolation,” or outside of the body, or in a “purified”
form, which means that some portions of the gene have been
removed. The effect of such patents is no one else can use, make
or sell that gene when it is removed from its natural environment.
As the public and policymakers become more aware of
the field, Conley says he is starting to see limitations on the
circumstances of patenting.
“I don’t see now and I don’t foresee a frontal assault on
the patentability of genes. However, I see enough nibbling
around the edges in various ways I think there are going to be
some limits evolving on the patentability of particular biotech
inventions,” says Conley. “I think courts will look at particular
patent claims – perhaps on genes, perhaps on proteins, perhaps
on cell lines, perhaps on certain diagnostic and testing practices
– and they will say from time to time, this is too close to a
phenomenon of nature or a law of nature.”

Orth Examines Shakespeare’s
Legal Drama “Measure for Measure”
MODERN AUDIENCES AND
WRITERS are not alone in their
fascination with legal drama.
Long before “Law & Order,”
kings and commoners alike
were entertained by the legal
fictions of William Shakespeare.
Professor John Orth gave a
presentation on Shakespeare’s
“Measure for Measure” at the
University of Adelaide’s 125th
anniversary celebration in
John Orth
Australia in 2008, and has an
article based on the presentation scheduled for publication in
the Adelaide Law Review.
“What Shakespeare does is dramatize the question ‘How
can I, a failing and presumably sinning human being, judge
somebody else?’ The defense that we in the legal profession
typically use is that it’s not us as individuals, it’s the law,”
observes Orth.
In addition to his J.D., Orth has a Ph.D. in British history with a
focus on fictional representations of historic events. Orth reread
“Measure for Measure” and other legal dramas while serving on
a doctoral committee.
“The thing that leapt off the page to me when I reread
‘Measure for Measure’ was the opening of the trial in the last
act when the duke says, ‘I’ll be impartial; be you judge / Of your
own cause,’” says Orth, noting that allowing a person to judge
himself in his own legal proceedings is a classic violation of due
process.
Orth was intrigued by the themes of measurement throughout
the play. He uses the same allusion in his article “The Golden
Metwand: The Measure of Justice in Shakespeare’s ‘Measure
for Measure,’” referring to a concept from Sir Edward Coke that
describes the law as a way of marking boundaries.
He notes that Shakespeare’s comedies and dramas were
often first performed for lawyers. “Measure for Measure,” which
debuted in the court of King James I, is technically a comedy,
but as with many legal dramas it has a dark side.
“What Shakespeare does is dramatize the question ‘How can I, a failing and
presumably sinning human being, judge somebody else?’ The defense that we
in the legal profession typically use is that it’s not us as individuals, it’s the law.”
“Everyone gets married in the end, but it could equally well
have ended up with executions,” says Orth, acknowledging that
Shakespeare can be critical of the practice of law. “Nobody
writes about the law without criticism or humor.”
The dark side of “Measure for Measure” may be the reason
it is not as popular with audiences as other comedies such as
“The Merchant of Venice” – but Orth is in good company as
a translator of the play into a new forum. Composer Richard
Wagner, writer Bertold Brecht and poet and playwright Alexander
Pushkin all were drawn to the material as well.

Weisburd Addresses the Risks
of Unenforced International Law
AS PART OF EFFORTS TO
IMPLEMENT INTERNATIONAL
LAW, the International Court of
Justice (ICJ) and the International
Criminal Court (ICC) are often
called upon to make decisions
about countries and individuals,
but they lack the power to
enforce their decisions or even
compel parties to appear before
the courts. Mark Weisburd,
Martha M. Brandis Professor of
Mark Weisburd
Law at UNC School of Law, argues
that the costs of continuing to act as if these courts have more
power than they actually do might be detrimentally high.
Weisburd participated in a panel discussion at the conference
“Looking Deeper: What Darfur Tells Us about Genocide,
International Criminal Law and the Future of a Country,” hosted by
Duke University in March, and he is also publishing an analysis of
inconsistencies in decisions made by the ICJ in an upcoming issue
of the University of Pennsylvania Journal of International Law.
Lessons from the Indictment
of Omar al-Bashir
In early March 2009, the ICC issued an international arrest warrant
for Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir on the charges of crimes
against humanity and war crimes. Sudan, a country to the south of
Egypt that borders the Red Sea, has been embroiled in a decadeslong civil war with rebel factions in its southern regions as well as
conflicts with its western neighbor, Chad. President al-Bashir was
indicted on the basis of the rapes, tortures and/or deaths of more
than 300,000 civilians during conflict in Darfur, the western part
of the country, and the displacement of millions of refugees. This
indictment, the first issued by the ICC against a current head of
state, and the implications for Sudan formed the substance of the
discussion in which Weisburd participated at Duke.
“I was skeptical that the president of Sudan would stand trial,
or that the issuance of the warrant would do any good in terms
of resolving the Darfur conflict,” he says, adding that the first
reaction of President al-Bashir was to order 13 relief organizations
that were aiding refugees out of the country. “The whole situation
pointed to a fundamental problem with the basic notion of an

international criminal court, which is that it might not be politically
wise to follow where the evidence leads in every instance. The
reason is that if you proceed at the international level, there is
no way, practically speaking, of taking the indicted person into
custody. It means that person will still have all the mechanisms of
government available to do all the mischief he wants to do.”
Prior to the allegations against him, President al-Bashir had
been somewhat successful in controlling the factions involved
in the civil war in southern Sudan. After the indictment, signs of
conflict resumed as President al-Bashir took a temporary hands-off
approach, although peace talks have since resumed.
Philosophically, Weisburd agrees that holding alleged war
criminals accountable is necessary, but he stresses that
international courts must create a system in which indicted
individuals know they will have to stand trial. In theory, the
108 countries that support the ICC are responsible for bringing
President al-Bashir to trial, but how or when that will happen is
still unclear.
Towards Greater
Consistency at the ICJ
The ICJ is an international court which is typically used to interpret
the wording of treaties and make decisions about conflicts between
countries, such as boundary disputes. This works well when both
parties are willing to abide by the court’s decision, but, as with the
ICC, the court lacks the power to enforce decisions upon unwilling
parties, says Weisburd.
“Knowing this, if one party proceeds, it’s often because there is
a political point to be made,” Weisburd observes. He also points
out that the court is inconsistent in the manner in which it makes
decisions.
Weisburd became interested in the consistency – or lack thereof –
of techniques used by the court to make decisions following a series
of cases that involved the United States. In those cases, the United
States was alleged to have violated a treaty that provides citizens
of the countries that signed the treaty with access to a consular
representative of their own country in the event that they are
arrested in the U.S. or another cosignatory.
Weisburd explains that many state and local law enforcement
agencies fail to inform arrested foreign nationals of their right to
consult their consuls, despite the treaty’s requirement that arrestees
be given such information. In turn, a number of foreign nationals have
been tried, convicted and sentenced to death in the United States,
leading in turn to the cases before the ICJ brought by the countries
whose nationals have found themselves in this situation.
Interpreting the Language
of the Treaties
The United States denied that the treaty provided such a remedy,
and stressed that no other treaty party provided relief of this kind in
such cases. The ICJ nonetheless held that the treaty required that
the hearings be held. Not only did it not explain why it rejected the
argument of the United States on the remedy issue, it did not even
acknowledge in its opinion that the argument was made.
“One of the roles of the ICJ is to interpret the language
of treaties. According to black letter rules of
international law, the way in which parties to a
treaty have understood it is important, so this was a
legitimate argument for the United States to make,”
says Weisburd. In fact, the court has relied on this
rule of treaty interpretation in other cases. The
choice to leave out any reference of this aspect of
the proceedings led Weisburd to question the overall
consistency of the court’s decision-making process.
“Aside from the problems these treaty cases
illustrate, the basic point of my article, which is a
review of the techniques used to make decisions in a
series of cases, is that if you look at what the court’s
own statute says is to be the source of the rules it
applies, and you compare its actual performance
to that, there are some surprising and — in my view
— alarming divergences,” says Weisburd. His article
will be of interest to many audiences who watch the

Weisburd explains that the United States never denied that these
failures to inform arrestees of their rights violated the treaty. The
crucial issue in these cases was the remedy. The countries suing
the United States argued that their nationals at least had the right
to a hearing on the effect on them of the treaty violation, even if
the convicted persons had waived this argument according to the
procedural rules of the American states where they were convicted.

social and economic changes that
contributed to the development of more punitive sentencing
laws over the past three decades, as well as the impact of mass

“The rate of incarceration has increased 500 percent in 30 years,

percent,” says associate professor Joseph E. Kennedy. “This growth in
imprisonment is anything but normal historically. The U.S. has never
incarcerated so many people. And while it’s an anomaly, we’ve been
living with this so long that it has begun to feel normal.”
Kennedy, who worked in the San Francisco, Calif., public
defender’s office from 1991 to 1994, argues that the burden of
incarceration falls most heavily on African-American communities
and contributes to the strain upon families and businesses in those
communities. African-American adults are eight times more likely
than adults of other races to be incarcerated.
Kennedy said that the national response to the Jena Six case in
Jena, La., was a catalyst for him to write about the issue. In the
Jena Six case, six African-American male teenagers were charged
in Dec. 2006 with the beating of a white schoolmate who had
hung nooses on a tree on school grounds.
“When I saw that 10,000 people marched on Jena in Sept. 2007
in response to the way in which the case was handled, it struck
me that something might be changing in the public’s attitude,”
says Kennedy. “The legal process in this case obviously reminded
people of the heyday of the civil rights movement – and it refocused
national attention on criminal justice as a civil rights issue.”
Incarceration not only removes people from their communities,
it also means that a significant number of African-American men
lose the right to vote, are less likely to marry, and will later have
trouble finding even low-skilled jobs.
“One of the main points of the article is that mass incarceration
disintegrates vulnerable, poor, urban communities, and in so doing
rolls back some of the gains of the civil rights movement,” says
Kennedy. “The only justification for incarcerating so many men for
so long is if you assume there has been a complete moral breakdown
in these communities. Instead, what the research suggests is that the
last three decades have been a time of enormous economic strain
for the inner city. What we’ve seen is an emergence of concentrated
jobless poverty in these areas, which is even worse than the working
poverty that had previously existed. Inner-city, African-American
communities went from places where most people worked, albeit at
very low wages, to places where work was infrequent, unreliable and
sometimes non-existent.”
Kennedy argues in his article that, instead of continuing with a
categorical approach to sentencing, judges should be empowered
to create sentences that suit the context of each situation.

HISTORY
HARVARD LAW SCHOOL SPECIAL COLLECTIONS.
James Harmon Chadbourn
A
mong the most admired scholars
UNC School of Law has
produced over the past century
is James Harmon Chadbourn, a native
of Spartanburg, S.C., and a significant
contributor to the legal body of work on
evidence, civil procedure and federal courts.
“His accomplishments, as a student
and as a professor here, as well as later
in his life, mark him as one of the most
distinguished scholars in Carolina Law’s
history,” says Jack Boger, dean and Wade
Edwards Distinguished Professor of Law. “It
also cannot be overlooked that, as a young
man and young scholar,
he conducted important
research that challenged
the status quo of racial
violence prior to the civil
rights movement.”
Chadbourn graduated
from the law school in
1931 as editor-in-chief
of the North Carolina
Law Review. Following
his graduation, he spent
six years on the UNC
law faculty before
moving to the faculties
of the University of
Pennsylvania, UCLA
and, eventually, Harvard
Law School, where
he remained until his
retirement in 1974.
Chadbourn succeeded
John Henry Wigmore,
professor and dean of
Northwestern Law
School from 1901 to 1929, as perhaps the
preeminent scholar of evidence, eventually
revising eight volumes of Wigmore’s tenvolume Treatise on Evidence. The project
took Chadbourn 17 years to complete.
In 1982, Judge Jack B. Weinstein of the
United States District Court for the
Eastern District of New York compared
Chadbourn’s project “to completely
rebuilding the Brooklyn Bridge while
traffic flowed over it: the revision left the
original structure clearly recognizable,
despite extensive modern improvements
that would, with regular upkeep, maintain
AN AWARD IN CHADBOURN’S NAME
the work as a living structure into the
indefinite future.”
Chadbourn was also an authority on civil
procedure and federal courts. His casebook
on federal courts – co-authored with Charles
T. McCormick, who was dean at Carolina
Law from 1927-1931 before moving to
the University of Texas where he became
a celebrated dean and scholar – became a
principal text in the field for many decades.
“Yet Chadbourn was also a brave and
unsparing analyst of his native South,” says
Boger. Only a few years after his graduation, he
published Lynching and the Law (1933), a careful
but forthright examination of “a new wave
of lynchings … [that had] made the nation
acutely aware [of] the perennial problem of
mob killings.” His book was recently reprinted
(The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd., 2009). In the
introduction, modern scholar Paul Finkelman
acknowledges Chadbourn’s extensive body of
legal work while citing Lynching and the Law
as “his most lasting contribution to American
culture.”

O
Chadbourn was born on Dec. 2, 1905,
in Spartanburg, S.C. He attended The
Citadel in Charleston, S.C., and earned
a bachelor of arts degree in 1926. After
college, he worked for two years as a
high school teacher and then principal
before attending law school at UNC. He
graduated from the school with honors,
and though he briefly entered private
practice, he quickly turned his eye

Environment and
Education Are Focus for
Alumnus Lewis ’69
WILLIAM H. “BILL” LEWIS
’69 has spent most of his career
in the public and private sector
grappling with regulating air
pollution under the federal
Clean Air Act. Among his roles
have been regulator, government
advisor, educator and, for 25
years, air practice leader. He
has devoted significant time to
non-profit activities with an
underlying education mission.
William H. Lewis
Despite media portrayals of
the industry as disregarding or disputing the need for clean air
regulation, Lewis says that in his experience, most companies have
a strong environmental ethic and try to meet the requirements of
existing regulation – and many go beyond the letter of the law.
Developing an
Environmental Law Career
Lewis didn’t begin his career in environmental law; after leaving
Chapel Hill, he initially joined a Los Angeles law firm and
specialized in corporate and securities law. While at the firm,
he had the opportunity to take a leave of absence to serve in a
gubernatorial campaign, which he parlayed into a state leadership
role as executive officer of the California Air Resources Board. In
this position, Lewis notes, “It was baptism by fire, learning federal
and state regulations.” But Lewis was a quick learner and was
able to tackle one of his major concerns for the state: California’s
pervasive smog.
Later, Lewis moved to the federal level to direct the National
Commission on Air Quality, which Congress had established to
evaluate and make recommendations on the Clean Air Act. The
commission made its recommendations in 1981, and then Lewis
moved to private practice. For 20 years, he was the partner in
charge of the air practice at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, where
he is now senior counsel.
“Environmental regulation will continue to be an important
practice area,” says Lewis. “I believe Congress will pass legislation
to address climate change that will require a significant reduction
in greenhouse emissions.”
In the Community
One of Lewis’ significant service projects developed because of his
interests in community involvement and American history, particularly
the Founding Fathers of the United States. When Lewis and his wife
purchased a farm halfway between the historic homes of Thomas
Jefferson and James Madison, he became involved at Madison’s
historic home, Montpelier, in Orange,Va. At the time, Montpelier
was recognized as a failing historic site. By 1998, Lewis and others
had formed the Montpelier Foundation.The foundation assumed the
management of the property, and Lewis negotiated a 75-year lease
with the site owner, the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Lewis’ principal interest was in the importance of the site as
a monument to Madison and its role in providing educational
opportunities about James and Dolley Madison and the U.S.
Constitution. While serving as chairman of the foundation board –
from the year it was formed through 2006 – he and his colleagues
oversaw a $25 million restoration; the building of a new visitor
center and gateway to the property; and the creation of a Center
for the Constitution where teachers, judges, legislators and other
leaders attend seminars on Madison and the Constitution.
In addition to his volunteer work with Montpelier, Lewis has
served as a board member and president of a Washington, D.C.,
nonprofit for children with learning and emotional disabilities,
and as a founding director of a D.C. organization established to
renovate and operate community programs in the country’s first
full-service African-American YMCA.

When Bill Lewis moved halfway between the
historic homes of Thomas Jefferson and James
Madison, he helped revitalize Madison’s
historic home, Montpelier, in Orange, Va.

Alumna Martin ’98 Advocates
for Domestic Violence Victims
VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE have a pressing need
for information about their legal
rights, says UNC School of Law
alumna Elizabeth Martin ’98. In
her effort to meet that need, she
and her team developed www.
WomensLaw.org, which won a
Elizabeth Martin
2009 Webby Award, the leading
international award recognizing excellence on the Internet.
Martin, a native of North Carolina, found her way into domestic
violence advocacy when she worked at a shelter in Washington state
after completing her undergraduate degree.
“I went through a vigorous training program to learn about the
number of people who were going through domestic violence,”
she recalls, “and I realized that women were taking heroic steps to
get out of these relationships, often for their children’s sake. It was
frustrating to me that the legal system, which was supposed to help
them, often did not.”
WomensLaw.org, an online legal resource for domestic violence victims, won
a 2009 Webby Award, the leading international award recognizing excellence
on the Internet.
“I went through a vigorous training program to learn about the number
of people who were going through domestic violence, and I realized that
women were taking heroic steps to get out of these relationships, often for
their children’s sake.”
Shelters try to provide information about legal rights and legal
aid, but they are also trying to help victims cope with every
aspect of their crisis, says Martin. She decided to return to North
Carolina to get her law degree and find a better way to inform
domestic violence victims of their rights. While completing her
law degree at Carolina, she also worked with the North Carolina
Coalition Against Domestic Violence, which is now a partner in the
WomensLaw.org Web site.
After law school, she worked in a private firm before moving to
New York City, where she and a team of designers and advocates
created the first WomensLaw.org Web site.
“At that time, the Internet was really hitting big and we knew
it was a low-cost way to get information out,” says Martin. The
current site is a redesign. It contains information about every state’s
domestic violence laws, and the state sections of the site are each
vetted by volunteers from the individual states. Topics range from
safety to filing restraining orders and child custody laws.
Martin says the site gets 67,000 unique users every month,
the majority of whom find the site through Google. She says
traffic has increased about 30 percent since the financial crisis hit
in September, acknowledging that tight economic times both
increase domestic violence and make it more difficult for victims to
venture out on their own.
The Web site has particular appeal in rural communities,
Martin says.
“About 35 percent of our users are from rural areas, compared
to the U.S. Census numbers indicating that 21 percent of the
population is rural. When we have talked to coalitions in more rural
states, they have been very excited about helping us because of
the difficulty accessing resources. For example, in Alaska, there are
communities accessible only by airplane, and some that don’t have
telephones – but every community center in Alaska has an Internet
connection,” says Martin.
Martin and her team are branching out into social networking
and investing in person-to-person domestic violence advocacy in
New York City and North Carolina.

Students Gain Practical Skills
while Delivering Legal Services
Reaching Out to
Eastern Carolina
BY MADELINE VANN
PHOTOS BY DONN YOUNG
W
hen alumni Greg Boyd ’04 and his wife
Laura Boyd ’02 were planning their annual
gift to UNC School of Law, they came
across a small project in need of funding: a
group of law students who were planning
to spend Spring Break 2009 working with
Legal Aid of North Carolina to draft wills and advance directives
for low-income individuals in eastern North Carolina. But
the students were short on funds for gas, food and shelter – all
necessary for them to conduct the pro bono service project.
The project struck a personal chord for Greg, a native of
Chocowinity in eastern North Carolina.
“It’s literally one of those places with one stop light and a dirt
road,” says Greg, who left his hometown after high school to attend
East Carolina University in nearby Pitt County. He later earned his
medical degree at the UNC School of Medicine, followed by his J.D.
at the School of Law. “All my family on both sides still lives there, and
I spent the first 17 or 18 years of my life there. Some of my family are
the kind of people who would benefit from this project, and I had the
impression that the project needed funding to happen.”
The Boyds were two of about 30 alumni and friends of Carolina Law
who supported a group of 20 students and their three advisors in their
collaboration with Legal Aid of North Carolina.“We found that people
really wanted to support this project,” says Paul Gardner, associate dean
for advancement at UNC School of Law. “And the students who
participated were excellent fundraisers in their own right.”
Among those alumni and friends who gave to the project were
families of the participating students and law school staff as well.
Carolyn Brafford, an administrative office coordinator in the office of
advancement for the law school, directed her monthly contribution
to help send the students on their way. Brafford, a 22-year employee
of UNC, had previously supported the renovation of Memorial Hall,
but when that commitment ended she said she wanted to support a
project that would provide immediate aid to someone in need.
“When I looked through everything, I just wanted to give to
something that I knew would help others,” says Brafford. She
knew that the students were doing a lot of work to raise funds
themselves, and she wanted to help – knowing that donations large
and small would help the students’ effort to get the project off the
ground.
“You can donate money to scholarships and professorships, and
that’s a good thing, but I enjoy immediate outcomes – and that’s
what I was able to see with this gift,” says Brafford, who reports
being impressed and pleased with the outcome of the trip.
“I think this project is a good example of the way alumni and
friends can help the school in a variety of ways,” says Gardner,
whose staff helped the students obtain the funds that helped make
the project possible. Gardner notes that in addition to providing
financial support, alumni in eastern North Carolina met with the
students, helped them find housing, gave them an introduction
to private rural legal practices and hosted breakfast with a federal
judge and dinner in New Bern. “They were also giving in ways
outside of monetary contributions – giving their time and advice
in ways that were fruitful to the students in terms of practical
experience,” says Gardner.
“We had the opportunity to work directly with those in
need,” says third-year student Seema Kakad, who notes that the
experience tested the students’ legal skills. “It also gave us a chance

to help people who really needed us, and there’s an honor in being
able to serve the public that way. Then we had the opportunity to
engage with lawyers and community advocates who work fulltime in underserved areas. The whole experience gave us a better
understanding of the role that law and policy – and state and
national decisions – have at the community level.”
The project was developed from collaborative discussions among
Legal Aid, the UNC Pro Bono Program and the UNC Center
for Civil Rights. Each of the groups had the same goal to help
the people of North Carolina, and the law school’s groups had
additional goals.
The Pro Bono Program develops projects that help instill public
service values and provide students with practical skills training.
Sylvia Novinsky, assistant dean for public service programs, notes
that she also wanted to encourage students to explore professional
opportunities in eastern North Carolina. “I started my own legal
career with Legal Aid in a rural area on the eastern shore of
Virginia, and I wanted to introduce our students to the challenges
and rewards of working in underserved areas.”
Among the Center for Civil Rights’ goals is the commitment to
helping minority landowners preserve, protect and maximize the
value of their assets. Mark Dorosin, senior attorney for the UNC
Center for Civil Rights, found that the project was in line with
the center’s goals, and offered the center an additional way to work
directly with students.
Dorosin and Novinsky knew they could develop a program that
would meet the goals of each partner and that they would need to
identify the appropriate community needs and find funding.
Gardner was among the first people Novinsky asked to help.
He notes that within a few months of hearing about the project,

office, in New Bern, N.C. to coordinate the Spring Break project.
he and his colleagues were able to draw upon their knowledge of
alumni and friends in the area who could provide students with
additional opportunities while working on the project.
The students were invited to Sumrell, Sugg, Carmichael, Hicks
& Hart, P.A., for lunch and a discussion about practicing law in
a small town firm. They also spent a day with the Hon. Louise
Flanagan, chief judge for the U.S. District Court – Eastern District
of N.C. Flanagan invited them into her courtroom to hear a case
about a Mocksville, N.C., town official who was prosecuted for
violating the Clean Water Act.
While at the court building, the students had the opportunity
to talk with two attorneys appearing in Flanagan’s courtroom that
day – assistant U.S. attorney J. Gaston B. Williams, who prosecuted
the Clean Water Act violator, and defense attorney James “Jimbo”

in a drug case. Perry’s son Madison was also there as a student
participating in the project.
“These students learned a lot through their work with Legal Aid,”
says Novinsky. “And the opportunities they had at the law firm and
the courtroom helped provide a very well-rounded experience.”
“We love that our students are helping people in North Carolina
and learning practical skills at the same time,” says Gardner. “And
it’s wonderful to get our alumni involved this way.”
The enthusiasm of the students and the coordinating faculty and
staff created a momentum for the development team. “There’s a
story behind each donor’s interest,” says Gardner. “And when we
understood the scope of the project, it became easier to identify
alumni and friends who could help this project succeed.”
Gardner notes that one of the largest donations came from Baker
Hostetler in honor of a partner’s 65th birthday.
“Baker Hostetler honors partners by making a contribution in
the partner’s name at his or her alma mater, and they made a gift in
honor of Dan Gunsett, a 1974 graduate of our school,” says Gardner.
“We called Dan to ask how he wanted the funds used, and he
liked the idea of targeting it toward a project that would provide a
valuable service for eastern North Carolinians and, at the same time,
give our students a chance to do some practical legal work.”
Other donors and supporters include Kristopher Barrios, Clint
and Shawnna Bolick, James and June Downs, Margaret Emerson,
Mike Flanagan ’66, Gray and Rebecca Faulkner, Janith Gebhard,
Paul Glover, Ed Holub, Don and Marjorie Hopkins, Bob ’59 and

Barbara Perry ’50, John and Claire Pickett, Frank Sheffield Jr.,
Matthew and Victoria Thompson, Ann Wall, David Ward, Gwen

Fisher and Mahoney. Gardner notes that individuals who helped the
project in other ways include Arey Grady ’98, Scott Hart ’92 and
Jimmie Hicks ’91 at Sumrell, Sugg, Carmichael & Hicks; the Hon.
Louise Flanagan; James “Jimbo” Perry ’80 of Kinston; and the Hon.
Ken McCotter ’71.
One of Gardner’s long-term goals is to keep building
relationships with alumni that will facilitate these kinds of projects
in the future.
“I’m hoping that the more we get out and see people, the more
contacts we’ll have to help our staff and students coordinate these
kinds of projects,” he says. “A lot of it comes out of conversations

you have with people – they let us know what they’re interested
in supporting, and we can often link them to projects that our
students and faculty are already doing or considering.”
“The donors were an important part of making this happen,”
says Gardner, “but the students, faculty and staff were the ones who
had the energy and plans that made this successful.”
On the Ground
Ultimately, 20 legal students spent four days of their spring break
donating their time and skills to draft more than 30 documents for
low-income residents in a rural part of the state. They also assisted
with tax and housing cases already in progress.
“The students engaged in direct client representation under the
supervision of attorneys from the law school and Legal Aid,” says
Dorosin, of the UNC Center for Civil Rights. “The clients were
given access to critical legal resources, health care powers of attorney
and vital documents that will help them meet their goals related to
their end of life issues. From the center’s standpoint, we hope to help
these families preserve their land, which for many has been in their
families for generations and is often their most valuable asset.”
“We couldn’t have accomplished this project without the direction
of and partnership with Legal Aid,” says Novinksy, who noted that
Celia Pistolis ’82, assistant director of advocacy and compliance for
Legal Aid of N.C., was instrumental in developing the project.
“Celia recognized what an opportunity this was for our students,
and she and her team were diligent in finding locations and clients for
us to work with,” says Novinsky.
Dorosin notes that the cost of legal services, as well as alienation
from the legal system, often prevent many people of low wealth from
being able to adequately protect their assets. “Furthermore, providing
these types of voluntary pro bono services is part of the school’s
commitment to give back to the people of North Carolina,” he says.
“We knew we needed community organizations that could help
us reach out to let people know these services would be available,”
says Dorosin, who notes that the project required advance in-thefield coordination and promotion before the trip began.
Legal Aid has a strong network throughout North Carolina, with
offices in every county in the state, and their staff often facilitates
services in rural senior centers or other facilities, such as the
offices of a local health department or community development
corporations. Dorosin and Novinsky made multiple trips to eastern
North Carolina to meet with a group of attorneys and managers
at the Legal Aid office in Greenville, including Pistolis; Evan Lewis,
senior managing attorney in the Greenville/New Bern offices;
David Caddigan, managing attorney for the New Bern office; Leslie
Albritton, staff attorney for the Greenville office; and Stephanie
Allen, paralegal and elder law coordinator in the New Bern office.
They had frequent conference calls to find housing and coordinate
on other logistical plans.
After Legal Aid and UNC laid the groundwork for success,
the students, the Center for Civil Rights and the offices of
communications at Legal Aid and the school helped with outreach:
students and center staff developed flyers that were posted at the
community centers, communications specialists contacted radio
stations and newspapers, and phone calls were made to pastors,
volunteers and anyone else who could help spread the word in
these rural communities.
Conducting the Work
For four days over spring break, the students separated into
two groups working in a number of locations in eastern
North Carolina.
“For all of them, it was a real eye-opening experience to
get a sense of the socioeconomic range that exists in North
Carolina and to see an area just a few hours away that is a
low-density, rural community where people have to drive
a long way for many services. Some clients drove an hour
or two to participate in the program,” says Dorosin. “The
students discussed the challenges of providing legal services
in rural communities and how difficult it can be for a lowincome family to travel, even to access free legal assistance.”
Boyd acknowledges that distance is often a barrier in the
communities where he grew up.
“You have communities of about 100 people separated by
30 minutes of driving,” he says, noting that his earlier training
as a doctor opened his eyes to access issues in the area. Doctors,

W
hen patent lawyer Richard
“Rick” Jenkins was in the 7th
grade, he found a high school
valedictorian pin tucked away in one of his
father’s bureau drawers. “I asked him about it
and he told me that being the valedictorian
had not made too much of a difference
in his life,” recalls Jenkins.Yet his father’s
intelligence was well known in Concord,
N.C., where Rick Jenkins grew up with the
children of men and women who had been
in high school with his father. One of those
friendships, dating back to the second grade,
“Being able to go to college
and certainly being able to
go to a professional school
enriches every aspect of
your life.”
was with John Charles “Jack” Boger ’74,
now dean of the UNC School of Law.
The threads of Jenkins’ life – a youthful
awareness that his bright father had not been
able to benefit from a college education and
Rick’s desire to help others attend college
– recently came together in a bequest to
endow a scholarship to the UNC School
of Law. The gift will help provide a legal
education to talented students from Cabarrus
County who require financial assistance, and
the scholarship will be named in honor of
Jenkins’ late father, Willard E. Jenkins.
Graduating from Concord High School
in 1932, as the Great Depression was settling
across the country, Willard Jenkins had no
means to go to college. Instead, he served
in the Navy and later sold insurance in
Concord. Likewise, when Rick Jenkins
attended Concord High School he was
concerned that college was beyond his
reach. However, working summers in the
local mill paid off for Rick. He qualified for
a scholarship from the mill that, along with
his summer work, sent him to N.C. State
University in Raleigh. Afterward he worked
for two years as an engineer where he
discovered patent law and decided to study
at Carolina Law to become a patent lawyer.
Since graduating, he has built a career
around patent law. After training in Washington
D.C., Charlotte and Greensboro as a patent
lawyer, he founded the firm of Jenkins,
Wilson,Taylor & Hunt in Durham in 1984.
The firm has grown from one to fourteen
patent attorneys and agents, and is now one of
the largest patent firms in the Carolinas.
As the years went by, Jenkins felt an
increasing sense of obligation to give back
and help other young people facing financial
barriers to higher education. “Being able to
go to college and certainly being able to go
to a professional school enriches every aspect
of your life,” says Jenkins.
For the past 15 years, Jenkins has donated his
time to higher education, serving on boards
at Carolina Law, N.C. State, N.C. Central
University, Peace College and Duke University
Medical Center, and he has endowed scholarships at N.C. State and Peace College.
“I was able to go to college when my
father, who was a lot smarter than I am, was
not able to go, because someone helped me,”
said Jenkins, who retired from his firm this
year. “Carolina Law is very special to me
because it gave me the opportunity to build
a career in patent law, and I am very pleased
now to give back to UNC School of Law to
help others attend.”

James Harmon Chadbourn
continued from page 18
“Chadbourn’s research in lynching was
groundbreaking,” agrees Boger. “He is
one of the finest scholars to serve on the
Carolina Law faculty, not only because of
his seminal doctrinal studies of evidence,
civil procedure, and federal courts, but also
because of his brave and forthright study of
racial violence.”
hadbourn spent two years
studying the legal aspects of
lynching, conducting field work
around the American South. In Lynching
and the Law, Chadbourn examines case
histories and statistics to determine whether
the law was punishing the perpetrators of
lynching. Among his findings were that
less than one percent of the lynchings in
the U.S. since 1900 had been followed
by conviction of those carrying out the
lynching. The book also included practical
suggestions to lawmakers for remedial
legislation, including a “Proposed Model
Act” which sought to avoid the pitfalls in
many of the then-current statutes. Lynching
and the Law was used extensively in Senate
hearings on the subject, but law reform
was blocked at the time. Later, however, the
book was cited in the civil rights cases in
the 1950s and 1960s, when America was
turning toward change.
Chadbourn’s book cites specific incidents
of lynching and judicial punishment. He
provided data about the eight states that
did have convictions, noting extremely low
conviction rates between 0.7 and 7 percent
– with the exception of Minnesota, which
had a 33 percent conviction rate.
Chadbourn’s study of the socio-economic
and educational background of the mobs
indicated low literacy rates, low community
involvement and rural residency. He cited
findings by the Southern Commission
on the Study of Lynching that “many
of the lynchers were the type of person
who reads but little, is identified with
few or no organizations, who, in short, is
outside the reach of the modern agencies
affecting group morals and public opinion.”
While Chadbourn primarily supported
the Commission’s findings, he also noted
that this observation was not free of
inconsistencies – that in 1911 a South
Carolina legislator and his son were charged
with inciting a lynching mob.
C

FALL-WINTER 2009
Lynching and the Law has, over the years,
been recognized by other legal scholars.
Shortly after its publication, E. M. Morgan
of Harvard University School of Law
observed in the North Carolina Law Review,
1933–1934, that Chadbourn didn’t resort
to sensationalism. “Nowhere does Professor
Chadbourn preach; nowhere does he
permit himself to become excited,” wrote
Morgan. “He suffers from neither illusion
nor delusion. He knows the difference
between fact and prediction. He realizes
the frailty of opinion. He sets forth his
data with a positively exasperating lack of
emotion.”
Despite the soundness of Chadbourn’s
research, the data was, in many respects,
ahead of its time. Numerous bills to ban
lynching had been presented to Congress
between 1918 and the 1930s, many before
Chadbourn’s research was available and
some which acknowledged his work. All
were ultimately defeated. Congressman
Leonidas Dyer of Missouri introduced an
Anti-Lynching Bill in 1918, and although
the bill was passed by the House in 1922
and received favorable reports in Senate
committee hearings, its Senate passage was
halted by a filibuster. More than 5,000
people, most of them African-American,
were lynched in the United States between
1882 and 1968 – and Congress never
enacted anti-lynching legislation. In 2005,
the U.S. Senate formally apologized for
this oversight.
“Chadbourn’s research was eventually
important in helping to stem the tide
of lawless racial violence,” says Boger,
“although regrettably, federal legislation
was not enacted until it was long overdue.
But the research Chadbourn undertook
and the vigor with which he pursued it
was one element in helping America wake
up and begin the struggle for civil rights.
We appropriately honor Chadbourn not
only for his splendid body of conventional
scholarship, but for his courageous
examination of the abhorrent practice of
lynching while still a young Carolina Law
faculty member, and the brave written
presentation of his findings to a thenunsympathetic or indifferent regional and
national audience.”
Contributors to this story include Katie Bowler,
Katherine Kershaw, Lindsey Guice Smith ’08,
and Nick Sexton.
Turnier Analyzes the So-Called
Dynasty Trust
continued from page 12
that a rate of return far in excess of that
promised by Bernie Madoff would be
needed to achieve the promise of dynastic
wealth for a family in which each child had
two children and so on.
“The problem is that there are a lot of
realities that intrude,” says Turnier. “It’s
difficult, if not impossible, to get the rate of
return required to produce dynastic wealth.
Moreover, whatever returns are produced
are reduced by expenses such as taxes,
management fees, expenses in operating
the trust, et cetera. Add in the cost of
inflation as well as the rising standard
of living between generations and we’re
down to an effective rate of return that, in
virtually all cases, makes it impossible for
a family’s wealth in a dynasty trust to keep
pace with an ever increasing number of
beneficiaries.
“The dynasty trust is really a marketing
gimmick. It’s a sensible tax saving device,
but it will not build a dynasty for you,”
observes Turnier. “Only if you anticipate
having very few descendants and
extraordinary returns would a dynasty trust
ever be able to live up to its billing. Even
if there weren’t an estate tax, it would be
improbable for a family to live solely on
inherited wealth forever.”

The Need to Regulate
the Derivatives Market
BY THOMAS LEE HAZEN
DONN YOUNG
Cary C. Boshamer Distinguished Professor of Law
N
otwithstanding the claims of many executives in the
industry, it is time to regulate the over-the-counter
derivatives markets. Unregulated credit default swaps
(CDSs) have been justified as useful devices for dealing with risk,
yet are not regulated like other tools in the market. The financial
meltdown in recent months demonstrates the need to regulate
these currently unregulated derivatives markets. While current
proposals for regulation focus principally on the CDS markets, the
other unregulated over-the-counter derivatives remain untouched.
Unregulated derivatives include over-the-counter foreign currency
(forex) contracts, interest rate swaps, equity swaps and other highly
complex derivatives that may equally warrant some sort of regulation.
Derivatives and insurance provide an opportunity for riskshifting as well as investment opportunities, often thought of as
speculation. Individuals and businesses who have exposure to risk
can either hedge against that risk with a derivatives contract or
seek insurance against losses that could occur if the contingencies
created by the risk materialize. In contrast to investing, hedging
and insurance, gambling is not a productive activity, nor one
providing a benefit to society aside from entertainment. Long
ago, all forms of gambling were outlawed, primarily for moral
reasons. Over time, gambling regulation was eased significantly and
forms of legalized gambling were recognized, accepting that when
properly regulated, gambling’s entertainment value can outweigh
the social costs and moral objections. Gambling, however, is only
permitted under strict regulation, and many gambling contracts
remain illegal. Speculation in derivatives is tantamount to gambling
and should be regulated.
Consider the example of two inveterate gamblers who wager
on whether it will rain the next day. This contract would be an
illegal wager in most states. Compare this gamble with a farmer
who is concerned about drought and wants to hedge against loss
of crops by entering into a derivatives contract based on corn. This
is legal as a forward or futures contract. Alternatively, the farmer
could make the hedge specifically against damage due to drought
and enter into a derivatives contract based on the weather. This
more closely resembles the illegal weather wager but would be a
48
FALL-WINTER 2009
legitimate and hence enforceable derivatives contract. The farmer
could alternatively seek crop or drought insurance. In all of the
above situations, the farmer is allocating to the counterparty the
risk of a drought. The wager is illegal, but the futures, forward
and derivatives contracts, as well as insurance, are legitimate
commercial transactions. The same can be said of sports wagers,
which are not permitted except to a limited extent through some
state-sanctioned casinos. While not a sports wager in the common
sense, consider, for example,
a hotel owner near Yankee

hotel owner be able to enter
into a commercial hedging
transaction? The similarity to gambling is no less when thinking
about CDSs or other derivatives where the counterparties have no
direct exposure to the underlying risks.
The dividing lines between the regulation of securities,
insurance, gambling, futures, swaps and other derivatives, have
been blurred. The overlapping nature of sophisticated financial
markets makes it difficult to identify the most natural regulator.
It follows that, instead, we should look for the most suitable
regulator in terms of expertise and understanding of the complex
financial and derivatives markets. One thing is clear: We need to
avoid continuation of a regulatory gap simply because market
participants can disguise insurance or gambling as a derivatives
contract. Policy makers should focus on substance – regulation that
is not dependant on the form of the contract, but is designed to
apply across risk-shifting markets.
