Adjusting and Advancing During COVD-19 The 2020-2021 academic year likely will be recorded as the strangest in the history of the College of Law. Masks, hand sanitizer and social distancing are everywhere. We haven’t traveled at all for recruiting students, student job interviews, or alumni visits or receptions. Many of our faculty and students have engaged in our core educational mission from outside the law school walls and the city of Tallahassee. Zoom fatigue, a concept unknown to us one year earlier, overtook us with a vengeance as the reality of our canceled spring break set in. And our work and study life is broken regularly with dashes to the Civic Center for COVID tests and vaccinations. Despite this strangeness, there is much good to report. Our professors have become experts in the use of Zoom screens and breakout rooms, virtual office hours, and enhanced assessment tools to enable students to participate actively and meaningfully in their legal education. Widespread alumni support of our student emergency fund has enabled us to support our struggling students with the financial means to adjust to lost employment, unexpected child care needs, and the enhanced technology requirements associated with active remote learning. As always, we are most grateful for your support, especially during a time when many of you have struggled, too. Our students have adjusted well to their remote environments, and many are excelling in this new space. Our Moot Court team won five national championships this year, and the Trial Team has also won a national championship and is nationally ranked for the first time. Our Black Law Students Association (BLSA) won their 2021 regional mock trial competition in January. With many courses occurring remotely this year, we have attracted faculty and guest lecturers from across the country and the world, which has truly enriched the educational experience for everyone. Our institutional accomplishments and recognitions also continue to grow, despite a challenging environment. Our class of 2020 employment numbers are as strong as the class of 2019, despite a much softer job market last spring and summer. And our bar passage rate of 84.4% for the delayed July Florida Bar Exam is higher than it has been in many years. According to statistics released by the ABA earlier this year, FSU is the 18th best law school in terms of the percentage of graduates

who passed a bar examination in the primary jurisdiction on the first attempt. preLaw magazine ranked us the top law school in the nation for government careers, the seventh best for criminal law careers, among the top seven law schools for both public policy and human rights law, and the eighth best value law school. According to the World University Rankings (2020), which heavily weights faculty scholarship, FSU Law is the 17th best U.S. law school, and ranks among the top 50 best universities for law in the world. Alumni engagement continues to be strong, with the introduction of practice area receptions and the planning and formation of identity-based alumni groups (see page 6 for information about the formation of the Black Alumni Network). BLSA and our Student Bar Association have each planned very rich remote programming for the entire community, and several of our alums have joined the lectures and panel discussions. At the end of the spring semester, we celebrated the end of the year and graduation! Graduation was the first sign of a planned return to normalcy as the vaccine rollout has reached our entire university population. We plan to be fully back in person for classes this fall. We look forward to a return of lunch-hour student events and the energy that comes with having students on the law campus all day. Our 1Ls have never seen the green filled with students and faculty enjoying social events and professional networking, and we look forward to seeing them experience more of the larger community connectedness that makes FSU Law so excellent. Although we are most eager for this return to normalcy, our forced adjustments have provided unexpected advantages that we hope to retain. It’s been far too long since I have seen you, and I look forward to that as soon as possible. But I do hope our new formats of engagement will provide an opportunity to enhance the richness of our core educational mission and our connectedness with the entire FSU Law community. See you soon!

A Tradition of Excellence: Black Alumni of FSU Law

By Christi N. Morgan

The College of Law is proud to count many successful Black lawyers and judges among its nearly 10,000 alumni. Graduates include judges, civil rights movement leaders, presidents of the National Bar Association, partners at top firms, high-ranking government attorneys, powerful lobbyists and innovative community leaders. These alumni are contributing to a tradition of excellence that shows future generations what is possible. This article features just some of FSU Law’s successful Black alumni and provides information on a new organization that aims to support all Black graduates, students and professors. Benjamin L.

COVER STORY

JoLinda L. Herring I n Ja nu a r y 2 021, JoLinda Herring (’96) w a s elec ted Br y a nt Miller Olive’s (BMO) managing shareholder, becoming the first Black female to take the helm of the firm. “This is an awesome honor,” said Herring. “I am very proud of the work that the firm has done in the area of diversity and the work we are continuing to do. Also, it allows other young women to know that they can reach similar heights. As Vice President Kamala Harris says, ‘I am the first, but I do not expect to be the last.’” As BMO’s managing shareholder, Herring will lead the firm and help chart its strategic direction. She has been preparing for this job for a long time. Herring began clerking at the firm as a law student and joined BMO as an attorney in 1996, after graduating and passing the bar exam. During her time as co-chair of BMO’s Public Finance Group—the largest practice group at the firm—Herring had many opportunities to lead and work with firm attorneys located across Florida and in Washington, D.C. and Atlanta. “I did not have a goal to become managing shareholder,” said Herring. “However, I have been a leader all of my life and my goal is to excel at all that I do. Because of my prior experience working in a family business, I was always interested in the business aspect of the firm.” In addition to the day-to-day responsibilities of managing the national firm, Herring aims to grow BMO’s clientele. “My goal is to increase awareness of the services and value that BMO can offer to existing clients and prospective clients in new markets who may not otherwise know who we are and what we can do for them.”

Carlos E. Moore This summer, Carlos Moore (’02) will take the helm of the National Bar Association (NBA), the largest national network of predominantly Black attorneys. “It is the fulfillment of a dream first birthed in 2000 as a first-year law student,” Moore said about becoming NBA president. “It’s historic in that I’m the first Mississippian and first Cochran Firm lawyer to be elected to the presidency. I’m excited about serving my people and standing for justice as the voice for the nation’s 66,000 Black lawyers, judges and law students.” Moore is the third FSU Law alumnus to be elected president of the NBA in the past decade. Daryl Parks (’95) served as president in 2011-2012 and Ben Crump was president in 2015-2016. In addition, Moore’s NBA general counsel is slated to be alumnus Sean Pittman (’94). Moore’s presidential goals include fighting against voter suppression and police brutality, while fighting for criminal justice reform, economic justice, empowerment, civil rights, voting rights and social justice. In addition to currently serving as president-elect of the NBA, Moore is managing partner of The Cochran Firm – Mississippi Delta, located in Grenada, Mississippi, and serves as the first Black municipal judge pro tem in both Grenada and Clarksdale, Mississippi. He primarily represents individuals in civil rights, personal injury and criminal defense cases. “The best part of my job is advocating for the little guy and giving a voice to the voiceless while leveling the playing field. I think of myself as the great equalizer.” Moore has earned numerous awards for his work, including being named one of the top 100 African American most influential leaders in the nation in the November 2020 issue of African Leadership Magazine. Also in November 2020, Moore published a co-authored book, “The Five Brothers: Our Journeys to Successful Careers in Law & Medicine.” The book chronicles the obstacles the 2021

African-American authors—three attorneys, a judge and a physician—overcame to achieve their educational and professional goals. “People needed to know the story behind the glory,” Moore said about why the book is important. “We are not overnight successes and overcame obstacles, beating the odds to become first-generation professionals. If we did it, so can others.”

Federal Judge Mary Stenson Scriven The Honorable Mary Stenson Scriven (’87) has served on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida since 2008. Prior to that, she was a United States magistrate judge for the Middle District of Florida for more than 10 years. Scriven was the first Black woman to serve on the federal

bench in Florida. “Serving in the federal judiciary allows me to participate in the preservation of the highest tenets and ideals of our system of justice,” said Scriven. “Those who know me know that I love every aspect of the law—from the most mundane discovery dispute to the most hotly contested, sophisticated business challenge involving complicated areas of law, to matters of life and liberty that arise in the criminal context. Working with highly competent litigators to ensure that justice is served and that every party has a fair ‘day in court’ is what motivates me.” COVID-19 has greatly impacted Scriven’s work. She

currently chairs the court’s COVID-19 Committee for the Middle District of Florida and has become very proficient in Zoom and Teams. “We have held countless remote civil evidentiary and non-evidentiary hearings and criminal sentencings via Zoom as permitted under the CARES Act. Our court staff has worked tirelessly and sacrificially to ensure that litigants’ rights were preserved under these unprecedented circumstances.” In January 2021, Scriven even hosted the first full Zoom jury trial in a Florida federal court. “The jurors never stepped foot in the courthouse, and we managed to select the jury, hold the trial and achieve a verdict in four days.” Scriven also currently serves in numerous judicial leadership roles—she is the administrative judge for the Tampa Division and a member of the Executive Committee of the court, and chairs the Eleventh Circuit Pattern Jury Instructions Committee. In 2018, Scriven was elected by her peers in the Eleventh Circuit to serve on the Federal Judges Association Board of Directors and was recently appointed to the Executive Board. In 2012, Scriven was honored for her leadership and excellence by the National Bar Association with the prestigious Gertrude E. Rush Award. A Georgia native who attend Duke University for undergrad, Scriven chose FSU Law over the University of Florida for smaller class sizes, faculty accessibility and a reputation for strong moot court and legal writing programs. “My FSU education has served me well throughout my career,” said Scriven. “I have found FSU’s alumni network to be second to none in our legal community. From my first job to the one I hold now, I have found comrades from FSU ready to embrace me and assist me in my work and professional endeavors.”

Since the law school graduated its first class in 1969, more than 25 Black alumni have ascended to the bench. The Honorable Zebedee Wright (’71) was FSU Law’s first Black male graduate and became a judge in 1982. The law school’s first Black female graduate, the Honorable Catherine Brunson (’75), also served on the bench from 1994-2018. The Honorable Emerson Thompson (’73) retired from the Fifth District Court of Appeal in 2008; the Honorable Nikki Clark (’77) retired from the First District Court of Appeal in 2015; the Honorable Jessica Costello (’09) was appointed to the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in 2019; and the Honorable Anthony Miller was appointed to the Second Judicial Circuit in 2020.

Sean A. Pittman As managing partner and senior attorney at Pittman Law Group, Sean Pittman (’94) is not only a trusted lawyer, but also very involved in Florida’s political process. He represents clients before the Florida Cabinet, Florida Legislature, state agencies, and city and county commissions. Pittman counsels a wide variety of clients including public entities, small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, private citizens and associations. “We are a boutique law firm that provides expertise in the areas of government relations, civil litigation, government law, administrative law, education law and more,” said Pittman. “I also take pride in my involvement in the local and statewide community through advocacy, serving on boards and volunteering. I love the opportunity to make a difference. Our work is often driven by important issues that impact the lives of everyday people. Our work gives us the opportunity to make laws, change laws, problem solve and have systemic impact on an ever-changing society.” In the weeks leading up to and during legislative session, Pittman can often be found meeting with legislators, consulting with clients and briefing them on pending legislation, monitoring legislative proceedings, and reviewing bills, while still working on his many legal cases. He also co-hosts the television show “The Usual Suspects” and hosts a radio program and podcast, “The Sean Pittman Show,” where he analyzes complex issues and interviews local, state and national figures. While COVID-19 has changed the way Pittman and his colleagues work, it has not changed the hectic nature of their jobs during and outside of session. His firm’s ability to adapt to evolving situations like the one the world has experienced during COVID-19 has led to much success. “You have to be proactive and forward thinking,” said Pittman. “In the midst of COVID, we made a decision to pivot and diversify our services and hired two new attorneys

With FSU Law located in the capital of Florida, it is no surprise that many alumni cultivate careers in the public policy and government arenas. Pamela Burch Fort (’77) is president of The Commerce Group and specializes in legislative and political consulting. Joe Briggs (’07) serves as public policy counsel for the NFL Players Association in Washington, D.C. Shenika “Nik” Harris (’04) served as Florida’s first statewide LGBTQ Consumer Advocate at the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and is now director of strategic outreach and engagement for the Human Rights Campaign. Kenneth Lawson (’91) has led the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, VISIT FLORIDA, and the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and now serves as interim executive director of North Carolina Outward Bound School. G.C. Murray II (’12), who is special counsel and director of membership at the Florida Justice Institute, was honored in 2020 as the Young Floridian of the Year for his community service work.

with expertise in education law and civil litigation. We are also venturing into new programming for legal interns. I believe my firm’s willingness and ability to adapt and evolve has made us better as we move beyond COVID.” A South Florida native, Pittman also remains engaged in that community. Since 2005, he has been an active member of the prestigious Orange Bowl Committee, where he served as president in 2018-2019. “Prior to my selection for membership on the committee, there had only been two Tallahassee residents elected. Even more rare, I was the first person elected president not from or living in Miami,” said Pittman. “Being president of the Orange Bowl Committee was a labor of love. The opportunity to work closely for many years with conference commissioners, university presidents, athletic directors, faculty and student athletes on very important issues within collegiate sports has made me a believer that athletics and the academic enterprise can succeed together.”

Rosalyn “Sia” Baker-Barnes (’00) Rosalyn “Sia” BakerBarnes is a shareholder at Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, P.A. in West Palm Beach. She serves on the firm’s executive committee and specializes in plaintiff’s personal injury law, medical negligence and product liability cases. Among her most notable cases is her $20 million jury verdict against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, a wrongful death case spanning more than 10 years and reaching the U.S. Supreme Court. “My practice is high intensity, in and out of the courtroom, and I handle cases throughout the state of Florida,” said BakerBarnes. “Although it is very time consuming, my practice is also very rewarding, as I have the unique opportunity to improve the lives of my clients, most of whom have nowhere else to turn and are in desperate need of help.” Baker-Barnes has represented many young children who suffered brain injuries due to medical negligence. “These cases take years to prosecute, multiple weeks to try, and are extremely difficult. They are also very rewarding because achieving a successful result can make a real difference in the lives of these families. My clients have received specialized treatment and therapies to maximize their abilities. In some instances, because of that specialized treatment, I have had clients who were told they would never walk or talk, do just that.” Recently, Baker-Barnes represented the mother of a 19-year-old autistic student who ultimately died due to a lack of school supervision that had been promised by the Palm Beach County School Board. The young man’s father was represented by fellow FSU Law alumna Salesia Smith-Gordon (’92). The case settlement of $2 million was well above the state sovereign immunity caps. Additionally, the settlement required new training for employees in the Palm Beach school district, named after their client, that could very well save additional lives. 6

Other Black alumni who have garnered success in traditional legal practice include Kareem Spratling (’06), a shareholder at Bryant Miller Olive who leads the firm’s public finance team and serves on its board of directors; Earnest DeLoach (’99), who is vice president – legal at Balfour Beatty U.S. Southeast Division and also co-leads the company’s national diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives; and Markenzy LaPointe (’99), who is a partner at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in Miami, where he co-leads the firm’s product liability practice.

Although she has an extremely demanding practice and is a wife and mother of three children, Baker-Barnes is fully engaged in the legal profession. She was the first AfricanAmerican female president of the Palm Beach County Bar Association, chaired the Florida Justice Association’s Young Lawyer’s Section and served for four years on The Florida Bar’s Leadership Academy Committee. She now serves on The Florida Bar Board of Governors. Baker-Barnes has also been active in efforts to combat racial injustices. Last year, she was involved in her firm’s creation of a television public service announcement and social media content denouncing hatred and systemic racism. She also worked with her AKA sorority and local chapter of The Links, Incorporated to increase voter turnout during the 2020 elections. In March 2021, Baker-Barnes received the Florida Anti-Defamation League’s Jurisprudence Award in recognition of her legal career and efforts against racism and discrimination. In April 2021, Baker-Barnes was honored by the Palm County Bar Association with the Judge Edward Rodgers Diversity Award.

Black Alumni Network In 2020, alumni Jasmyne Henderson (’15), Salesia SmithGordon (’92) and Kareem J. Spratling (’06) founded FSU Law’s Black Alumni Network (BAN) to help Black alumni coalesce resources, connect networks and share ideas in efforts to address the impact of systemic racism on legal education and the legal profession. The group’s mission is to empower and support the Black students, alumni, faculty and staff of the Florida State University College of Law in order to assist those

individuals and the College of Law as a whole in achieving their full potential. Led by Smith-Gordon, who was installed as BAN president in February 2021, the alumni will help with recruiting new students, fundraising and supporting current Black FSU Law community members, among other goals. BAN also is focused on efforts to remove the name from the law school’s main classroom building. “I believe we can do a lot to impact the lives of not just law students, but our alums,” said Henderson. “We have such a strong network, but I don’t think it’s ever been sufficiently leveraged in order to help young lawyers and even older attorneys get business or move their careers.” Henderson believes it would have been extremely beneficial for her to interact more with successful Black female attorneys when she was a law student, so she is hoping BAN will help current students see what is possible for them after graduation. Smith-Gordon and Henderson also want BAN to be a resource for the law school to help foster relationships with potential Black faculty members—to encourage them to join and remain members of the FSU Law community. They also want BAN members to be a resource and knowledge-base for fellow alumni as they navigate their careers. The Black Alumni Network is open to all graduates of FSU Law, not just the law school’s 550-plus Black alumni, and BAN leaders are encouraging everyone to get involved. “There is a mutual benefit for altruistic reasons,” said SmithGordon about why alumni should join BAN. “There is also

a benefit from a professional standpoint and from a financial standpoint. My objective is to not add a lot of time or effort to someone’s plate; we are tapped out. At some point you are going to need the assistance of others, whether it is ascending to the bench or election or appointment or needing letters written to connect with a partner at a law firm, and there is benefit in having the College of Law behind you. It is mutual because there are many programs of the College of Law for which we can lend our talents of time, even if it is for an hour. Iron sharpens iron and we aim for BAN to serve to enhance FSU College of Law and our profession.” Henderson added, “We are at a time where we are recognizing on a more universal scale some of the impediments to success that people of color have faced. I think that you either want to be a part of the solution or you don’t. This is one way that lawyers, specifically, can be a part of the solution in addressing those impediments for law students and lawyers and professors.” The following alumni are serving in BAN leadership roles, thereby lending their talents and time to be part of the solution: ■ Salesia Smith-Gordon (’92), president, racial justice consortium co-chair and Florida Bar Board of Governors advisor ■ Conti Smith (’07), president-elect ■ Alicia Dixon (’10), secretary ■ Kenneth D.

“I always thought I would be a plaintiff’s lawyer or a civil rights lawyer, but when I showed up for the first day of work, my supervisor Bill Bond (’77) told me I was going to be a real property lawyer,” Scott remarked. “I enjoy working with clients and helping see their projects and dreams come to fruition.” Through his work, Scott has been instrumental in helping clients like Quint Studer revitalize downtown Pensacola. He is general counsel to the Pensacola Blue Wahoos minor league baseball team and has represented some of the most transformative leaders in the community. He also serves as general counsel for Triumph Gulf Coast—the organization responsible for distributing $1.5 billion in economic aid resulting from the state’s lawsuit against BP. Now serving in his ninth year as managing shareholder, Scott jokes that the job is “like nailing Jell-O to a cat.” “You deal with a lot of very smart and talented people and I receive a great deal of joy watching young lawyers develop careers in Pensacola and a busy life at and succeed as part of a team,” said Scott. home as the parents of three. “If you grew up playing team sports or Scott is the president and managing serving in the military, you enjoy the shareholder at Clark Partington Hart satisfaction of working with a team to Larry Bond & Stackhouse.

and socialize on the weekends. “I inherited a fantastic culture. I did very little to build it,” said Scott, who is in the final year of his third term leading the firm. “The greatest responsibility I have is to do my best to maintain what was handed off to me and be in a position to pass that on to the next leader with the firm in as good—or better—a place than I found it.” Scott is looking forward to transitioning back to practicing law full time and the increased client contact and courtroom time/Zoom time that will inevitably follow. Like Scott, Amie began working at a Pensacola law firm the Monday after graduating from law school. She fell in love with employment law when she was assigned to a sexual harassment case as an associate at Bozeman Jenkins & Matthews and has been practicing in the area ever since. For the past 15 years, she has served as general counsel at LandrumHR, a national human capital firm offering permanent and interim staffing, PEO and workforce solutions to its business clients. “I believe in civil rights to my core, so if I can help employers pay their employees correctly, maintain safe work places, and maintain fairness and transparency, I can positively impact employees’ lives,” said Amie. “Our company currently has about 9,000 job-site employees and my job helps those employees live better because they are all being paid fairly, they’re all being treated fairly and they’re all being trained properly.” Amie relishes the teaching aspect of her job and speaks frequently to employers and industry groups around the nation about employment law. She

has spoken to more than 20,000 people about how to be compliant with the law, thereby helping employees who don’t even know she is advocating for them. The Athens, Georgia native has been fortunate to have the flexibility to work part time since the Remingtons’ first child was born in 1999. For two decades, Amie has divided her daily schedule between her career and her children. “My week involves taking the kids to school and doing family things until 7:30 a.m. and then working until 2:00 p.m. When I pick the kids up from school, I am able to f lip the switch and prioritize my family,” said Amie, who credits Scott with her being able to spend time with the kids in the afternoons. “I’ve been really lucky to be able to maintain that balance all these years. At LandrumHR, I get to do the professional legal tasks that I think are fascinating, like read the law, do a lot of writing, presentations and teaching. And then at the end of the day, I get to learn a little biology, find ‘x’ in algebra problems and listen to saxophone lessons.” In addition to their two boys at

home—tenth-grader Tom and eighth grader Harry—the Remingtons have a daughter, Virginia, who is a junior at Florida State University. Shortly after she began studying at Florida State, the Remingtons purchased a small farm in Red Bay, which is halfway between Pensacola and Tallahassee and allows them greater flexibility to visit Virginia and attend FSU events. “We love to spend time there when we can, gardening and chasing guinea hens,” said Scott, who enjoys growing and cooking a wide variety of vegetables. The farm is a place where they watch movies, read, ride their MULE in the woods, cook over a fire pit and “get off the grid.” At home, Pensacola has been a wonderful environment for the Remingtons to raise their children and cultivate their careers. Upon moving to Pensacola, Scott and Amie married at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, and have been actively engaged personally and professionally with the church.

Perhaps that is why she has experienced much success in a wide variety of roles throughout her career. Maguire believes a major reason for the steep slope of her career trajectory is that she had a southern mother and her father was a United States Coast Guard officer. “I was as a military brat. We moved every 18 months but had a deep sense of place provided by my mother,” recalled Maguire. “That set my ability to be flexible, stay grounded and look at opportunities.” Throughout her career, the FSU Law Class of 1986 graduate has worked as a teacher, as the leader of a state agency, on political campaigns, as an associate dean in higher education and as an attorney

Called to the Courtroom: B. Richard Young

By Beth N. Pannell

ichard Young reached a point in his life when he felt more comfortable sitting in the courtroom than anywhere else in the world. Born and raised in South Alabama, Young’s family moved to Pensacola when he was 11 years old. But Young, now the managing partner at Young, Bill, Boles, Palmer, Duke & Thompson, almost didn’t choose a life in the law. When he started law school, he came to a crossroads between teaching martial arts and becoming a lawyer. It was the encouraging words of a law professor that helped him get through three years

lawyer at the firm to get some automobile cases because that was where the courtroom work was. “Before I knew it, I had tried 25 auto cases to verdict and had a really good track record winning them.” Several years later, because he developed a good relationship with Geico as a client and because of his success rate for them, Young was invited to open Geico’s house counsel office in Miami, their first house counsel office in the state. He then opened their next house counsel office in Ft. Lauderdale and then one in Tampa. He ran those offices from 1988–1992. Young moved back home to Pensacola at the end of 1992 and ran a house counsel office for Geico there before deciding he wanted to practice a wider range of trial law than just auto accident cases. With essentially no clients, he decided to branch out on his own. And with two young sons to provide for, he of law school and put him on the trajec- threw himself into building a practice. tory of his current success. “I spent every day for a year trying to “I couldn’t have picked a better pro- drum up clients.” fession,” said Young, a 1984 graduate A turning point came in 1998 when of FSU Law. “I don’t think anything Young received a call from a claims would have suited me better than what manager who thought a bad faith case I’ve been doing.” they had was a little too difficult for his Since Young knew he wanted to be in-house attorney.

There’s no such thing as an easy bad faith case.” He is also proud of making a mark in the state of Florida on the law of bad faith. “It would be hard to crack a book and look at a case involving bad faith—you couldn’t look at five of them decided over the last 20 years without finding my firm name in one of them, or more.” Although he loved being in the courtroom, as of January 1, 2021, Young is no longer trying cases. It was hard to walk away, but as much as he loved it, there came a point where he said, “I just think it’s time.” Now, he’s moved into more of a consulting role for the trial lawyers in the firm to make use of his experience.

The argument that was there all the time, it just wasn’t obvious to everybody. So, I spend a good bit of time kicking theories around with them, working out strategies and discussing how to respond to certain things.” Now that Young is retired from the courtroom, he hopes to have time for some of his other interests. Young has always loved outdoor activities, including almost anything on the water. He lives on the beach in Pensacola and has property in Alabama, where he considers being out in the woods therapy. Young enjoys fishing, hunting and snow skiing. And as soon as the COVID-19 restrictions end, he intends to do a lot of traveling. Young is a Golden Chief, a big supporter of Seminole athletics and “bleeds garnet and gold for our football team,”

but in 2007 he asked himself, “If I as an alum of Florida State don’t support my law school and make it the best that it can be, then who will? If not me, then who?” To support his love of trial practice and because there was no Trial Team when he was a law student, Young created the Young Family Endowment to support the FSU Law Trial Team, as well as a merit scholarship. He recalled a time he spoke to the Trial Team and told them, “Everybody has their idea of what it means to be a lawyer and what they want to do. I don’t have any issues with any style of law they choose, but frankly, I can’t understand why anybody would want to be a lawyer and choose to be anything other than a trial lawyer.” Proud to be the first member of his family to graduate college and the only one to earn a doctorate, Young wanted to give back to the school so that students who want to be trial lawyers and want to engage in trial competitions, would have the opportunity to compete in those competitions across the country. If competing in a Trial Team competition can give a student just a little taste of Young’s passion for the courtroom and mastery of the art of cross examination and creating a closing argument, they too may find their calling.

Q&A with Exemplary Public Service Career Award Winner Nancy Daniels

Nancy Daniels

FSU Law presented alumna Nancy Daniels (’77) with the Exemplary Public Service Career Award in November 2020. The award recognizes a Florida State University College of Law graduate who has dedicated their career to public service and who has demonstrated exceptional character, integrity, humility and professionalism, as well as the highest regard for ethics. The following Q&A provides details about Daniels’ commitment to public service and what she has been doing since retiring as public defender for the Second Judicial Circuit of Florida in 2016.

What did receiving the 2020 Exemplary Public Service Career Award mean to you? Receiving the 2020 Exemplary Public Service award was deeply meaningful to me. I value public service, and I’m so happy that our law school honors it with this award. Plus, it is wonderful to be in the company of previous winners Kris Knab and Debbie Kearney. What did you like most about your public service work? I loved representing clients in court more than anything, but every aspect of my work has been satisfying. Over the years, I have been a law clerk, an assistant public defender, a teacher, an elected public defender and now a consultant doing legislative analysis for the Florida Public Defender Association. All have been rewarding. What have you been doing since retiring in 2016? After retiring, I went to work “parttime” for the Florida Public Defender Association. It has been more demand14

ing than I anticipated, but it is good work. I also serve on a number of boards and do various things at my church. I am always busy. Why do you think it’s important for students and alumni to consider public service work? I preach the value of public service because it is purposeful and satisfying for your soul, and it is conducive to work/life balance. You previously served on the committee that formed this award and selected recipients—why did you choose to volunteer to serve on the committee and why was that important to you? I was so impressed when the dean agreed to have our law school begin giving this award, and I found that she went about the selection process in a very rigorous manner. It gave me joy to read the nominations—there are so many inspirational, long-serving public servants who deserve the award.

What one thing do you wish people knew about public service work? I wish people knew that public service legal work is not a career for second-rate lawyers. There are many AV-rated government lawyers who are outstanding scholars and practitioners. What does being a public servant mean to you? Doing public service as a lawyer has made me proud. When people make lawyer jokes about lawyers being greedy and sneaky, I absolutely hate it and can point proudly to the many wonderful public defenders, state attorneys, court lawyers, legislative lawyers and others who have not done their work for the money.

The FSU Law community was profoundly saddened by the loss of Professor Emeritus David L. Markell, who passed away on March 22, 2021, after a heroic battle with cancer. Although Markell retired from teaching in 2020 after 18 years at FSU, he remained actively engaged with many in our community and will be terribly missed.

The Lasting Legacy of David Markell (1953–2021)

“Dave was beloved for his kindness, generosity, hard work, inspired teaching, scholarly productivity, and service to the law school and broader community,” said Dean Erin O’Connor. Markell grew up in Newark, Delaware. He graduated magna cum laude from Brandeis University and received his J.D. from the University of Virginia. Markell was an all-around athlete and played college and semipro baseball. After law school, Markell began his career with a prestigious judicial clerkship in his home state’s Supreme Court and brief stints at two D.C. law firms. He then moved from corporate law to a career with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Environmental Enforcement Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, and leadership roles at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Even after entering academia, he spent years engaged in 2021

environmental governance through his work with the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation in Montreal. Prior to joining the faculty at FSU, Markell taught at Albany Law School. Throughout his career he served as a visiting professor at Columbia Law School, University of Virginia School of Law, Lewis and Clark Law School, Melbourne Law School (Australia) and IDC Herzliya Radzyner Law School (Israel). “Dave Markell was an immensely talented individual, but his gifts paled in comparison with his herculean work ethic,” said his environmental law colleague Shi-Ling Hsu, FSU Law D’Alemberte professor. “Dave worked hard at everything, all the time. Instinctively modest, he led by example, but that example was extraordinary.” During his tenure at Florida State University, Markell served in numerous leadership positions, including as an associate dean in three capacities—for academic affairs, environmental programs and research. As a scholar, he was nationally recognized as one of the top in his field. During his career, Markell published six books and more than 50 articles and book chapters on topics including climate change, compliance and enforcement, and North American environmental law and policy. One of his books was cited as “the most outstanding work of legal scholarship in the field” of administrative law and earned an annual American Bar Association Section award for scholarship. There is no doubt that his presence on the faculty was a big reason that the environmental law program has been highly regarded 16

for so long. “Dave was so humble and unassuming that I’m not sure everyone took note of the scholarly impact of his research and writing,” said Professor Emeritus Donna Christie, who served on the environmental law faculty with Markell for many years. “He just quietly and thoughtfully produced articles that were regularly chosen as among the best of

He also engaged often with alumni and other attorneys and judges to spread the word about the achievements of FSU Law’s programs and students. “I so enjoyed getting to know Dave through Environmental Law Society ‘meet and greets’ and I think the law school should be so proud of the outreach he continually made to the local legal community to engage with the students,” said Susan L. Stephens (’93), FSU Law adjunct professor and attorney at Hopping Green & Sams, P.A. Equally admirable was Markell’s tireless commitment to help his current and former students. His high expectations, coupled with his patient and nurturing mentorship, gave countless FSU Law students the confidence and the courage to be the very best lawyers they could be. “Dave was one of the most popular teachers at the law school,” said Dean

Moot Court Team Wins Record Five Competitions—Most in the Nation! The Florida State University College of Law Moot Court Team won an impressive five national competitions during the 2020-2021 competition season—winning four in four consecutive weeks during the spring semester. This is the first time FSU has won five national championships in one year and no other school in the nation had as many first-place victories. After such a successful season, the team is ranked the nation’s top team for national championships and eighth best moot court program.

Amelia Rea Maguire Business Law Lecture Features DE&I in Law Firms The College of Law hosted the second annual “Amelia Rea Maguire Business Law Lecture: A Panel on the Economics of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” on Thursday, February 11, 2021. The virtual event, co-sponsored by the FSU College of Business, featured Tiffani G.

Reed, a shareholder at Stearns Weaver Miller who chairs the firm’s Diversity Committee. Carla Harris, CEO and managing director of The People Institute, moderated the panel and the event was sponsored by FSU Law alumna Amelia Rea Maguire (’87), who provided opening remarks. Harris began the discussion by framing the importance of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) in the legal field for two main reasons: clients are now requiring that outside firms reflect the diversity of the customers they serve, and the high cost of attrition, stating the loss of just one associate can cost a firm hundreds of thousands of dollars. The expert panelists discussed the need to give more attention to pipeline development—more people from traditionally underrepresented groups coming into the profession, the importance of creating system-wide processes to mitigate unconscious individual bias, and the critical role of leadership in driving the culture of DE&I, including the important layer of middle-management leadership. They also discussed reasons for the slow progress that has been made in DE&I over the last 20 years and the Diversity Lab’s Mansfield Rule as a framework for tackling DE&I.

Federal Judges Visit FSU Law Despite the pandemic, FSU Law hosted four outstanding federal judges during the 2020-2021 academic year. On Tuesday, October 13, 2020, we hosted the Honorable Mary Stenson Scriven (’87), of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, through our Jurist in Residence Program. Judge Scriven spoke with FSU Law students via Zoom about the value of judicial clerkships, what students can do to make themselves strong candidates for clerkships, the work performed by judicial clerks and the often life-long relationships that are formed between judges and clerks. Jud ge S c r iven was nominated by President George W. Bush on July 10, 2008, and took her seat on the bench on September 30, 2008. She had preJudge Mary Stenson viously served as a Scriven (’87) magistrate judge in the district for more than 10 years. When she became a magistrate judge in 1997, she became the first African American woman to serve on the federal court in Florida and the second to serve on the federal court in the Eleventh Circuit. Prior to that, Judge Scriven was a shareholder with Carlton, Fields, Ward, Emmanuel, Smith & Cutler, P.A. She previously served on the FSU Law Alumni Association Board of Directors. On October 20, 2020, we hosted Chief Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer, of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, as the second guest in our Jurist in Residence Program.

Pallmeyer discussed some of the important anniversaries of 2020, including her court’s 200th anniversary and the 100 years since the Spanish flu. She also Chief Judge Rebecca spoke about her role Pallmeyer in helping the court adapt to the numerous challenges brought on by COVID-19 and some of the positive changes we can imagine for the future after the pandemic. The meeting was moderated by Professor Mark Spottswood, Judge Pallmeyer’s former law clerk. Judge Pallmeyer was nominated to a seat on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by President Bill Clinton on July 31, 1997, and received her commission on October 22, 1998. She became the chief judge of the Northern District of Illinois on July 1, 2019, and is the first female to do so in the court’s 200-year existence. She previously served as a United States magistrate judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. O n Tu e s d a y , Febr ua r y 16, we welcomed the Honorable Robert J. Luck to the law school. Judge Luck currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for Judge Robert J. Luck the Eleventh Circuit and previously sat on the Florida Supreme Court. During his special visit to campus, Judge Luck gave a

socially distanced presentation about the “Law Clerk Experience.” He discussed in great detail how federal courts operate in comparison to state courts, providing information about the powers provided by Article 3. He also talked about the responsibilities of law clerks in federal courts, what students need to do to best prepare for obtaining a clerkship, and the characteristics he looks for when hiring law clerks. Judge Luck also visited Professor Glenda Thornton’s 1L Legal Writing & Research II class and met with faculty members comprising our Judicial Clerkship Committee. Judge Luck was nominated to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on October 15, 2019 by President Donald Trump. Prior to his appointment to the Florida Supreme Court in 2019, Judge Luck was a district judge on the Florida Third District Court of Appeal and a circuit judge for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. On March 31, the College of Law and the Student Federal Ba r A s s o c i at ion hosted the Honorable Jill Pryor, of the United States Court of Appeals for the Judge Jill Pryor Eleventh Circuit. During a v irt ua l presentation, Judge Pryor commented on what motivated her to become a judge and how her experience as a litigator shapes her judicial perspective. She also gave tips for effective oral arguments and discussed the characteristics she looks for in law clerks.

FSU BLSA Wins Mock Trial Competition

Florida State Ranked Nation’s 8th Best Value Law School

preLaw magazine has ranked Florida State University College of Law the eighth best value law school in the nation. The ranking, which was published in preLaw’s fall 2020 issue, weighs important student outcomes—bar passage and employment rates—against tuition, cost of living and indebtedness. According to preLaw, the rankings are “designed to recognize schools whose graduates have excellent chances of passing the bar and getting a legal job without taking on a ton of debt.” “We are thrilled to again be ranked among the nation’s top 10 best value law schools, especially because employment rate is the highest weighted factor in calculating the ranking,” said Dean Erin O’Connor. “Providing each student with an excellent legal education that will help them launch a successful career is extremely important to everyone at FSU Law.”

FSU Law Joins Consortium for Racial Justice Florida State University College of Law, in collaboration with Florida’s 11 other law schools, formed the Florida Law Schools’ Consortium for Racial Justice (FLSCRJ) during the summer of 2020. The consortium was initiated in light of longstanding and recent acts of racial injustice. It will leverage the strengths of every law school in the state to assist community organizations fighting for racial justice and policy reform. FLSCRJ will emphasize lawyers’ roles in advancing social justice and help law students develop the consciousness they need to speak out against inequalities. Each law school will designate at least one student fellow to work with FLSCRJ every year. The fellows will collaborate with groups in Florida that have long pursued anti-racism initiatives. The law schools’ current partners, including community foundations, non-profit groups, law firms, businesses, policy centers, art collectives, advocacy groups, educational entities and bar associations, are already well placed to be part of this collaboration. The consortium also welcomes other interested organizations. Law student fellows will assist FLSCRJ’s partners with legal research, policy reform, strategic advocacy, and ways to use language to resolve conflicts and improve society at large. Fellows will also undergo tailored training to model effective dialogue about race within each law school and across the state as a whole.

DEAN’S ANNUAL FUNDRAISING REPORT Dear Alumni and Friends: This was a year of both great challenge and great success for the law school. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the reputation of our outstanding students, faculty and alumni continues to blossom. We continue to attract some of the strongest students, as well as maintain some of the highest bar passage rates and best job placement rates in Florida and the region. Private fundraising makes a critical difference at the law school, helping us attract and support the best students and faculty.

TOTAL GIFTS AND PLEDGES Putting annual giving and larger gifts together, we raised a cash total of $1,147,583 and unrealized new pledges in the amount of $247,000, for a grand total of $1,394,583. ANNUAL GIVING FROM ALUMNI This past year, 21.46% of our alumni made cash gifts to the law school. Based on the latest American Bar Association data, this level of participation should keep us within the nation’s top law schools in terms of alumni giving rate. This level of alumni contributions enriches the life of the school and sends a powerful signal about the enthusiasm our alumni have for the school. GIVING FROM STUDENTS This past year, 85.10% of our students participated in the Student Give Back Campaign. Our student enthusiasm and generosity bode well for the future. They are blazing the trail for us all! LARGER GIFTS This past year, cash payments received totaled $200,500 towards $447,500 of Larger Gift commitments.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to our many successes. We shall continue to do our best to pay great dividends on the dollars you have invested in our school.

Sincerely,

Erin O’Hara O’Connor, Dean

ENDOWED GIFT OPPORTUNITIES ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS

ENDOWMENTS FOR EXCELLENCE

Our single greatest need from private giving is endowed scholarships. To continue to serve our mission of providing access to all, including those from families of modest means, we will need significantly more scholarships. Scholarships are awarded according to the intent of the donor and may be based on merit, need or other factors. The endowed scholarship would be named after you or your designee.

Endowments for excellence are used, at the discretion of the law school, for purposes such as student scholarships, faculty incentives, general discretionary dollars and funding for cocurricular activities including Law Review, Trial Team, and Moot Court. The endowment for excellence would be named after you or your designee.

Minimum gift needed to create an endowed scholarship: $25,000 (may be paid over time)

Private philanthropy has helped us take many of our existing programs to a new level of excellence. Our award-winning Moot Court and Trial Teams benefit from private contributions to supplement the dollars available to them for purposes such as traveling to regional and national competitions. Our Public Interest Law Center, which includes the Children’s Advocacy Clinic, the Gender and Family Justice Clinic, and the COVID-19 Veterans Legal Clinic, relies on private contributions to help pay for some of the expenses involved in training students to provide effective legal services to the under-represented. An important goal of the law school is to raise substantial endowments to support special programs and co-curricular organizations. Some programs simply would not exist at the law school but for the generous support of our alumni. Minimum gift needed to create an endowment to benefit a particular program: $25,000 (may be paid over time)

DONOR RECOGNITION We are delighted to recognize scholarships, professorships and other targeted gifts by naming them in honor of the donor or the donor’s designee.
