MESSAGE FROM DEAN’S CIRCLE CHAIR
ANNUAL FUND
On behalf of the Committee, I wish to thank all of our Dean’s Circle members for their generosity towards the Law School and welcome new Dean’s Circle members who contributed
during the fiscal year of June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009.
The University of Miami School of Law thrives on the commitment and dedication of its
Dean’s Circle members. When you give through the Dean’s Circle, you not only invest in the
growth and prominence of the Law School, you also support our ability to maintain student
scholarships and establish important programs that benefit the students and our community.
You enable us to educate quality lawyers and contribute to an active and qualified judiciary.
And you help us to propel our School of Law into the ranks of some of the finest legal institutions in America!
Annual membership is $100 each year out for those who have graduated within the past four
years, $500 for those who graduated in the past five to ten years, and also for members of
the judiciary; otherwise annual membership starts with a contribution of $1,000 for everyone
else. Your Dean’s Circle membership not only benefits the School of Law, but you too enjoy
benefits! Your contribution is tax deductible, and you can use a credit card for your contribution (annually or monthly) to earn miles or points. More importantly, you are invited as
guests to a variety of lunches, receptions, discounted CLE’s and other fun events exclusively
for Dean’s Circle and President’s Circle members.
BARBARA PEREZ, JD ’93
On behalf of the members of the Dean’s Circle, I invite those of you who have not previously
joined to participate in the enhancement of the University of Miami School of Law’s future.
Please make a gift and join us today.

DEAN’S CIRCLE RECEPTION AND BOOK READING
The Dean’s Circle Reception was held in May
2009 at Book and Books in Coral Gables, and
featured a book reading by alumnus Paul
Levine. The event was hosted by the 20082009 Dean’s Circle Committee and Stuart Z.
Grossman, JD ’73.
Stuart Z. Grossman, JD ’73, who helped underwrite the event, and Paul Levine, JD ’73,
who read his book, “Illegal” during the reception.
Paul Levine is the author of 13 novels, including the critically acclaimed Illegal, a tale of
human trafficking on the Mexican border.
Levine also wrote four novels featuring squabbling Miami trial lawyers Steve Solomon and
Victoria Lord. As a screenwriter, he wrote 21
episodes of the CBS military series “JAG” and
co-created and co-executive produced “First
Monday,” a drama set at the Supreme Court,
starring James Garner and Joe Mantegna.
Levine graduated from the School of Law in
1973, cum laude, and served on the team that
won the national moot court championship.
Before becoming a full-time writer, he practiced
law in Miami for 17 years.

DEAN’S CIRCLE
On behalf of the Law Alumni Association Board of Directors, I want to thank
you for your generous support of this
year's Annual Fund for the School of
Law and to ask that you continue to
support us with your charitable contributions and solicit at least one more
colleague, associate, neighbor, former
classmate or friend to join the Annual
Fund. The list of donors by class is
included in this annual report.
We are very grateful to all our alumni
and friends who supported the school
JEFF CAZEAU, JD ’02
during tough economic times. Our
donors are aware of the heavy burden
placed upon our law students to fund
their legal education. Our loyal alumni play a key role in assisting our students by providing scholarship support, mentoring and
placement opportunities.
Last year we graduated 372 outstanding new lawyers; 72%
remained in Florida while 28% accepted positions in other parts
of the country with a number of them moving to New York and
the greater Washington, D.C. area to pursue their legal careers.
Nearly 14% of our graduates chose to pursue a career in the public
sector, which consists of government and public interest work.
Many more have expressed an interest to work in the public sector,
but doing so means structuring at adequate budget which allows
them to meet their financial needs while striving to meet their career goals. Consequently, the majority of our graduates accept jobs
in private practice (68%), with the remainder in business (10%),
as judicial law clerks (6%), in the military JAG Corps (1%) and in
academia (1%).
The Law Alumni Association, through our Annual Fund, seeks to
support these students by helping the school provide them with
scholarships, fellowships and externships. Your generosity allowed
us to experience an increase in giving to the Annual Fund for this
last fiscal year. During the 2008-2009 the School of Law awarded
over $8,000,000 to currently enrolled students.
I challenge you to continue, and whenever possible, increase your
support as we welcome a new dean, Patricia D. White, to our campus this fall. I hope you will all have an opportunity to meet her
and learn from her the great things that are in store for our Alma
Mater under her leadership.
It is only through your participation and support that we can work
toward our goal of making the UM School of Law one of the top in
the country. We can only achieve this by increasing the number of
donors to our Annual Fund this coming year. As my predecessors
have remarked, every gift counts – a $25.00 donation is welcome
and it does make a difference. Your continuing support is an
expression of your confidence in the legal education provided by our
school.
Thank you for your generosity, and if you work for a matching gift
company, please let us know. I look forward to speaking to all of
you at upcoming Alumni events throughout the year.

ANDRE DREYFUSS, Class
of 2011, began his undergraduate career at Cornell
University and then transferred to the University of
Virginia where he received
his B.S. in Economics with
a minor in Philosophy.
During college, Dreyfuss,
who is a dual citizen of the United States and Brazil,
participated in an independent research project as part
of a study abroad program in Fiji. He lived with a Fijian
family for two months while he studied the Qoli Qoli Bill
as it passed through Congress and how Fijian villages
receive compensation for the use of their natural resources
from incoming Western tourism developers. A military
coup forced him and the other students to flee the country shortly before the program ended. In 2005, Dreyfuss
interned at Franklin Templeton Investments in London,
where he assisted the head of the legal department.
Before coming to law school, he worked as an operations
analyst for Credit Suisse in New York. He is interested in
corporate, international and maritime law.

Burton Young Externship (Summer 2009)
EUSEBIO PERALTA-MARTINEZ, a graduate student in the Law School’s Comparative Law
LL.M. Program, earned a Licenciado en Derecho (Juris Doctor equivalent) at the National
Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where he was the assistant editor of The Official Bulletin of the Law School.
Before coming to the Law School, Peralta, who is admitted to the Mexican Bar, practiced
law for 15 years as an intellectual property attorney and litigant in his home country of
Mexico and as an advisor in the corporate field in the United States. Starting out as a federal examining attorney at the Secretary of Commerce and Industrial Promotion in Mexico
City, Mexico, Peralta went on to work at the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property as a
national department chief, general counselor, and examining attorney. He also worked as
an IP litigation legal director at Malacara and Associates, S.C., in Guadalajara, Mexico; as
a corporate advisor at Craft and Sitton, PLLC in Nashville, Tennessee; as an IP litigation
legal director at ILF Abogados, S.C. in Guadalajara, Mexico; and as a corporate counselor
at Mcintosh and Peralta, LLC, in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Burton Young Externship allowed Peralta to work with the Family Court Division for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit
in Miami, where he assisted in case management for family court judges. “Working with judges on decisions that affect
families is a clear shift away from the corporate environment I have experienced,” says Peralta. “Through my studies, I
developed a special interest in the emerging area of collaborative law. This externship has given me a fresh perspective on
how the various fields of law are interconnected, and I believe it will benefit me as I move forward with my career in the
U.S.”

PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM
Through the cooperative efforts of the Dade County Bar Association Young Lawyers Section, several Miami law
firms, the University of Miami School of Law, and other law schools throughout the state of Florida, the Professional Opportunities Program (“POP”) was developed to help black law students make a successful transition
from law school to positions with Florida employers. In 2009, thirteen students were provided summer employment opportunities through the program.
The donations of those who contributed this year are vital to POP’s continuing growth.

have been the recipients of this
prestigious scholarship program,
enabling talented and deserving
students to gain the distinctive,
lifelong benefit of a University of
Miami School of Law education.
The Reid Scholarships are awarded to outstanding members of the
entering class who possess exemplary academic records, demonstrate leadership
qualities, and exhibit the potential for making substantial contributions to the
legal profession and society.
“The Harvey T. Reid Scholarship Program is widely known and has become
a solid tradition at UM Law,” said Therese Lambert, Director of Student Recruiting. “Those selected exemplify outstanding accomplishments with strong
promise of representing the school and the profession at the highest levels.
Reid Scholars throughout the years have met that promise by not only becoming great lawyers, but also giving back in significant ways – whether through
the School or otherwise – so that the scholars who follow are inspired by their
stories.”
Harvey Reid was a graduate of the
Nova Scotia College of Arts, where
he received the Canadian Governor
General’s Medal in recognition of
the highest scholastic achievement
in his sophomore, junior and senior
years. As a Rhodes Scholar, he
went on to study law at Trinity
College, Oxford. He later joined
West Publishing Company, where
he rapidly rose from the position
of Legal Editor to the Editor-inChief, President, and then Chairman and Director of the company.
Reid married his wife, Agnes, in 1966, and
moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Reid first became interested in
the Law School through his longstanding friendship with Fred Lewis, a former
dean of the School of Law. He received UM’s honorary doctor of laws in 1973
and in 1977 was awarded the “Chief’s Award” by the Association of Independent
Colleges and Universities of Florida. Harvey Reid passed away in 1985, and
Agnes passed away in February, 2009.
Samuel J. Dubbin, JD ’81, is a former Reid Scholar. Currently a principal in
the law firm of Dubbin & Kravetz, LLP, Dubbin has fond memories of Harvey
Reid.
“It has been 31 years, but it really doesn’t seem that long ago that I met Harvey
Reid,” recalled Dubbin. “He was the figurative patriarch for choosing the recipients of the scholarship. He was both impressive and refreshing, and the fact
that he had chosen Miami to support with scholarships was very influential in
my decision to attend the Law School.”
“Harvey Reid lived by the principle that every man and woman deserved an
opportunity to succeed through their personal values and achievements,” added
Dubbin. “I am proud of the outstanding quality and diversity of law students
and lawyers who attended UM Law through the Reids’ generosity and commitment.”

PHILANTHROPY
CARLOS DE LA CRUZ
Carlos de la Cruz Mentschikoff Chair in Law
and Economics
Thanks to the generosity of Carlos M. de la Cruz, Sr., JD ’79, the de la Cruz-Mentschikoff Endowed Chair in Law
and Economics was established at the Law School in Soia Mentschikoff’s memory – a former dean at the UM Law
School. The de la Cruz-Mentschikoff Endowed Chair will focus on matters of business associations, planning,
commercial and international transactions, securities, and antitrust.
A graduate of UM Law, de la Cruz also graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School (BS in
'62, MBA in '63). He is a lifetime member and past chairman of the University of Miami's Board of Trustees, and
two years ago was appointed by the board to chair the Visiting Committee of the University of Miami School of
Law. He is a businessman and chairs the board of CC1 Companies, which include the Coca-Cola bottling companies in Puerto Rico and Trinidad & Tobago. He has been very involved in community activities having chaired
the board of United Way of Miami-Dade County, and has been a member of the boards of Georgetown University,
Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, Florida International University Foundation, the Dade Foundation, the Business Assistance Center, and Miami
Partners for Progress. “This chair will renew and strengthen the Law School’s commitment to law and economics, and the path-breaking research
begun here years ago,” said former Acting Dean Paul R. Verkuil.
“
“
All of us remember certain teachers that modified the way we analyze and make decisions. Soia Mentschikoff
was such a person - at least for me,” said Mr. de la Cruz. “Hopefully the recipients of the de la Cruz - Mentschikoff Chair in Law and Economics will have the same effect on future generations of UM Law School students
who are studying the impact of the construction and interpretation of laws on economic activity.
The Robert B. Cole Endowed Lecture Series
Established at UM Law
“Education is far from book learning,” said Richard Cole. “My dad
always believed that it entails the exchange of ideas and thoughts of
learned people from various viewpoints and perspectives. It is hoped
that this series of lectures will provide such discourse and enhance the
law students experience at this great university.”
The Miami Law Review will partner with the Cole Lecture Series in
providing each renowned lecturer the opportunity to publish his/her
remarks in the Law Review. The presence of these predominate legal
scholars, jurists, and government officials will help make the Law
Review more competitive with many of the leading national journals.
“The partnership formed this year between the Cole Lecture Series
and the Miami Law Review will be invaluable to the future of our
organization,” said Mike Pieciak, JD ’09, who served as editor-in-chief
of the Miami Law Review last year. “The Lecture Series will allow the
Review to annually host preeminent legal scholars and subsequently
print their remarks. We are very grateful to the Cole family and look
forward to working with them to not only create a great event, but to
also honor the legacy of Robert Cole.”
In the past, the Cole Distinguished Jurist Lecture Series attracted
some of the most celebrated jurists in the nation. Among them were
United States Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, Chief
Justice William Rehnquist, Justice John Paul Stevens, Justice William
J. Brennan, Jr., Justice Harry a. Blackmun, Justice Antonin Scalia,
and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
“
The Cole family first created the Robert B. Cole Lecture Series in the late 1980’s,” recalled Professor and
Dean Emerita Mary Doyle. “Through their generosity we brought seven justices to the Law School in as
many years. Each Cole lecture was a wonderful occasion, a chance to bring together students, alums and
faculty in an intellectually exciting way, and to portray
our law school as the vibrant place it is. I am heartened to see the Cole family renew this opportunity for
the law school community.
“
For more than twenty years, the
late Robert Bates Cole, a distinguished and powerful Miami
attorney, served as counsel for the
University of Miami and helped
bring seven U.S. Supreme Court
justices to the University as part of
the Robert B. Cole Distinguished
Jurist Lectures. Upon his death in
1997, he left a portion of his estate
to the School of Law to create a
lecture series. Recently, his son,
Richard Cole, a managing partner
in the Miami office of Cole, Scott
RICHARD COLE
& Kissane, PA, decided to establish The Robert B. Cole Endowed
Lecture Series through his father’s
trust, which will enable the Law School to bring some of the most
exciting legal minds in the nation to campus. Cole and his firm will
provide the funding for the lecture series until the endowment starts to
produce sufficient income.
The newly endowed Cole Lecture Series is expected to provide a forum
for distinguished legal scholars to share their thinking on important
issues. These prominent speakers will help to spark lively discussion
among faculty, students, and members of the bench and bar.

CENTER FOR ETHICS AND PUBLIC SERVICE
Historic Black Church Project
Housed at the University of Miami School of Law, the
Historic Black Church Project is part of the Center for Ethics
and Public Service’s ongoing nine-year effort to help Miami’s
distressed West Grove community. The Project is spearheaded
by the Center’s Community Economic Development and Design
Clinic, a joint venture collaboration with the University’s School
of Architecture and Florida Legal Services. The purpose of the
Project is to provide multi-disciplinary resources in education,
law, and social services to under-served West Grove residents by
establishing congregation-based church partnerships through the
West Grove’s sixteen-church Ministerial Alliance.
The Project entails five interrelated initiatives. The first
initiative involves rights education seminars. Conducted by Law
School clinical faculty and students, the church-based education
seminars address a wide range of topics affecting West Grove residents, including children’s health, education, elder law, tenants’
rights, homeowner protection, and crime prevention. When possible, the seminars are presented in conjunction with University,
for-profit, nonprofit, and government partners.
The Project’s second initiative involves capacity building
workshops. Likewise conducted by Law School clinical faculty
and students, these church-based workshops focus on economic
development, financial literacy, and nonprofit governance for
individuals, groups, and organizations. Again, when possible,
the workshops are presented in conjunction with University,
for-profit, nonprofit, and government partners. Center Advisory
Board member Louis Chiavacci of Merrill Lynch helped launch
the financial literacy workshops in spring 2008.
The Project’s third initiative involves referrals for legal assistance. The Project offers legal assistance referrals in cooperation with the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. Bar Association and the
Law School’s Children and Youth Law Clinic, Bankruptcy Clinic,
and Health and Elder Law Clinic in the fields of foster care,
bankruptcy, health, and elder law. Staffed by Law School clinical
faculty and students, the Clinics provide direct service and law
reform representation to indigent clients in Miami-Dade County.
The Project also will offer legal assistance referrals in cooperation
with Florida Legal Services and volunteer lawyers from law firms
in Miami-Dade County.

Graham at the March 2009 ceremony honoring Judge Graham with the
Hoeveler award.
The Project’s fourth initiative involves the creation of an
oral history church archive. The Project works to develop an oral
history archive to be housed at each church through a studentfaculty partnership with Ransom Everglades High School. The
oral histories of interested members of each congregation and
ministry will be conducted by Ransom Everglades High School
students and undergraduate students from the College of Arts
and Sciences, and videotaped by graduate students from the
School of Law and elsewhere across the University. Students
from the College of Arts and Sciences and Ransom Everglades
will also participate in multi-media projects (drawing, painting,
and photography) documenting the churches and their congregations. Both church- and school-based receptions will be held at the
conclusion of each semester.
The Project’s fifth initiative involves the establishment
of a national consortium on campus-church-and-community collaboration. The Project will link colleges and universities to new
community-based campus-church collaborations through conferences and publications addressing faith-inspired civic engagement
and service-learning in higher education.

Helping Others Through Pro Bono Efforts
With an unprecedented level of service and advocacy, 2008-2009
marked the 10th Anniversary of the HOPE program, and just its
second year as the law school’s stand-alone Public Interest Resource
Center. As many are still discovering, HOPE is dedicated to instilling a
pro bono ethic by facilitating pro bono legal advocacy and public service
opportunities for law students and alumni, and working to provide access to justice to underserved populations locally, nationally and across
the globe. Among the new initiatives launched in the past year, HOPE
volunteers have advocated for the labor and employment rights of lowwage workers through the Workplace Justice Project and have worked
to help restore civil rights in collaboration with the ACLU, Public
Defender’s and State Attorney’s Office. In addition, UM Law students
have utilized HOPE to identify, create, and pursue initiatives in the
areas of financial literacy, juvenile justice, housing, and domestic violence advocacy, to name just a few.
The HOPE Fellows Program, our flagship initiative, has grown from
two local agency partners to include recent international placements
in countries such as Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Lebanon, England, and
China. In brief, HOPE Fellows work with domestic and international
public interest agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
to provide much-needed legal advocacy to children, immigrants, the
homeless, victims of hate crimes, discrimination, and abuse, and others who are in need. Students who express an interest in competing
for one of the coveted fellowships receive support from HOPE as they
design their ideal internship, where they are responsible for providing
a unique service to the agency and constituents. Upon their return
to campus, HOPE Fellows continue to earn their modest stipends by
implementing a project to engage and educate the UM Law community, while also assuming an active leadership role on the Public Interest
Leadership Board.
This year, seventeen Fellows are developing their legal advocacy skills
with such agencies as Florida Legal Services, LA County’s Immigration
Legal Assistant Project, the Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation,
Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc., the Department of Homeland
Security, the ACLU of Southern California, Bay Area Legal Services,
the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, and Sierra Leone’s Timap for
Justice.
Moreover, HOPE strives to expose students to the myriad of legal and
advocacy opportunities by presenting a public interest lecture series,
sponsored by the University of Miami’s Citizens Board, stand-alone
issue-oriented and a social justice film series that incorporate speakers’
panels comprised of members of the bar and bench, faculty, and community advocates, along with numerous hands-on initiatives to develop
lawyering and advocacy skills.
We salute the many alumni who have made pro bono an important
aspect of their professional lives and welcome your calls and emails to
let us know about the great pro bono and public service work you’re
performing. At the same time, we encourage all alumni to contact
HOPE to find out about the many ways you can engage with, and
inspire, current UM Law students. Please contact us at umhope@law.

The HOPE programs at UM Law are an excellent way
for students to gain an appreciation for the importance of pro-bono work in their legal careers while
also contributing in meaningful ways to the community. To this day, I have continued my involvement with
the HOPE Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program
as it allows me to give back to my community and to
connect with the new generations of students who
show their concern for, and dedication to, helping
those who are less fortunate in society

“
The public service and legal advocacy projects
directed by HOPE, and led by its Fellows, Scholars,
and Leaders, highlight the noble qualities of the
human spirit and of the legal profession. When
prospective students hear of HOPE’s outstanding
work, they get inspired - I literally see a fire in them
to become outstanding advocates, to get involved,
to become contributors, to make a difference. My
ability to play even a small part in encouraging
them is exciting and rewarding.
“

During HOPE’s 2008 Day of Service
“
HOPE’s strong and dynamic presence
in the legal community provides an
avenue for law students and attorneys
to make public service and pro bono
work a part of their professional lives.
Recognizing the importance of balancing one’s legal career with civic
engagement, HOPE offers an opportunity for every student and attorney
to contribute in a manner and degree
that fits with their life and career.

LEAVE A LASTING LEGACY
While contributions from generous donors like you are more important than ever in these uncertain economic times, you may
find it difficult to give or may be concerned about giving right now. What you may not realize is that you can continue to support the University of Miami School of Law, at a time when your support is needed most, and receive benefits in return through
planned giving. Planned giving can help you balance your charitable interests with your personal financial goals while realizing
significant tax and other benefits for you, your heirs and/or your estate. Through planned giving, you can make a gift you might
otherwise have thought impossible.
There are a number of planned giving vehicles you can use to make a gift to the University of Miami School of Law, depending on
your particular goals and circumstances. For example, did you know…
• that you can earn a fixed income
for life (at a rate currently higher
than you can get through most
conventional CDs and fully secured
by the University), receive a tax deduction and benefit the University
of Miami School of Law through a
charitable gift annuity?
• or that you can leave a bequest to
the University of Miami School of
Law in your will or trust, thereby
retaining control over your assets
during your lifetime but gaining
important tax and other benefits for
your estate upon your death?
• or that you can maximize your
charitable deduction (taking advantage of historically low interest
rates) and accomplish your goal of
wealth transfer to your heirs while
making a current gift to the University of Miami School of Law through
a charitable lead trust?
• or that you can name the University of Miami School of Law as a
beneficiary of your retirement plan
or IRA account thereby removing
highly taxed assets from your estate
and benefitting your heirs?
• or that you can name the University of Miami School of Law
as owner and beneficiary of a life
insurance policy and receive an immediate charitable tax deduction?
• or that you can donate your residence to the University of Miami
School of Law but remain there for
life (a retained life estate)?
Whatever your personal circumstances are, there is a planned giving vehicle that is right for you. For all who support the
University of Miami School of Law, in good times and in challenging times, planned giving is a powerful way to make a lasting
impact on the future of the School and to leave a personal legacy. Call today to see how you and the University of Miami School of
Law can benefit from a planned gift.
