College of Law is getting to and be-ing heard by pro-spective students, not just in Idaho, but nationwide. I have been and continue to travel the state to meet alumni and prac-ticing attorneys. If I have not already, I hope to see you in my future travels this year.

This issue also features a story about our 104-year legacy of producing outstanding alumni. “It’s a Fam-ily Thing” features just a small sampling of some of our alumni community who have family ties to the College of Law. We know there are many more examples of multi-generational law families and I hope you will share your story on the College of Law Facebook page. We also have had several of our alumni honored during both the University and College of Law commencement ceremonies. You can learn more about these distinguished alumni on page 16.

And, the good news about your College of Law continues: the College of Law was recently ranked by the National Jurist magazine as one of the most innovative law schools in the country for our third year program in Boise. We commenced our third-year of offering students the option to finish their

Dean’s Message Legacies of Service, Family, Excellence and Giving at the College of Law

Don Burnett served the College of Law well during his 11 year tenure as dean. For those of you who haven’t heard the news, Dean

Burnett transitioned to Interim President Burnett, the interim president of the University of Idaho. Don assumed the role of interim president in June 2013, and continues a truly remarkable legacy of service to the University and the State of Idaho for which we are quite grateful. Our feature story in this issue provides a chronology of his legal career and highlights his reflections about his career path. The College of Law accomplished much under Don’s leadership and we owe him a deep debt of gratitude for his exemplary service to our institu-tion.

When Don Burnett transitioned to the University presidency, I was honored to be selected to serve as the interim dean for the College of Law. I have been a member of the law faculty since 2006 and served as the associate dean for Faculty Affairs dur-ing the last academic year. I am enjoying my time as dean and I am happy to report we are off to a great start to the academic year. The year started on a very positive note with a 9.4 percent increase in en-rollment from the previous academic year at a time when law school applications and enrollments are generally down nationwide. Less than five percent of law schools nationwide posted enrollment gains this year and the College of Law is proud to be one of them. What pleases me the most about these gains is that they signal that the message about the quality and value of a legal education at the

last year in Boise. We recently earned approval from the State Board of Education to offer a second year of study option in Boise as well, expanding our operations in the Treasure Valley and further enhancing our ability to fulfill our state-wide mis-sion as the only public law school in the state. At the same time it gives our students vastly improved opportunities over the one-campus model of years past. We now are seeking funding approval by the governor and legislature and we are hopeful that we will get the support needed to open the second-year program soon.

Your College of Law faculty continues to achieve and innovate in ways that hopefully make you proud to be part of our community. Professor Angelique EagleWoman was recently named one of the “Top 50 under 50” minority law professors by Lawyers of Color magazine. Professor Eagle-Woman, along with Professors Jack Miller and Rich Seamon all published textbooks in their respective areas of expertise over this past summer. College of Law professors also have been busy establishing, or continuing, quality educational programming for college students as well, with Professor AnneMarie Bridy and Associate Dean for Boise Programs Lee Dillion establishing an Intellectual Property compo-nent to the College’s Small Business Clinic in Boise. This is just a small sampling of the many achieve-ments by College of Law faculty whose com-mitment to excellence is unparalleled and much appreciated by me.

This annual publication always highlights the names of our alumni and friends who support the College of Law with their financial contributions. In this age of fewer and fewer public dollars being allocated toward public higher educa-tion, private support is essential to our survival. I extend my personal and heartfelt thanks to all of our supporters.

The University is in the final stretches of a seven- year capital campaign – Inspiring Futures: Invest in the University of Idaho. We need all of our alumni and friends to show their support by making a gift to the campaign. No matter what your level of giving, what matters the most is that you give and that you know that your gift supports an institution with a long Idaho history and proven success of graduating outstanding lawyers and leaders.

As I wait at a small table tucked behind the exhibitor booths at the Idaho State Bar 2013 Annual Meeting in July, I begin to hear signs that the person I am here to interview has arrived.

“Hello, Mr. President, it’s nice to see you!”

“Don! How are you?”

I peer through the groups of Idaho lawyers to see Donald “Don” Burnett making his way through the room, enthusi-astically greeting those around him with handshakes and smiles. It is clear that his is a familiar face among this group.

Eventually he rounds the corner to where I sit, also greeting me with a warm smile. Sneaking a quick sip from his orange juice, he releases a slight sigh as he settles into the seat adjacent to mine, relishing his brief break before he begins to field my questions.

“So, how’s it going?” I ask.

“Well, the metaphor drinking from the fire hose is pretty accurate,” he grins.

Burnett is just weeks into his new role as interim president of the University of Idaho. Selected for the position by the

University of Idaho Board of Regents, Burnett began work in his new post in June, following the departure of M. Duane Nellis.

“One of the striking things about work as the president is the sheer volume and velocity of the issues that come through that office,” he said. “Fortunately, I have a good provost and team of deans and vice presidents to support me.”

While his presidential duties may bring new challenges, the position seems the perfect capstone to Burnett’s long and distinguished career as practicing attorney, appellate judge, Army JAG officer, state bar president, law professor and dean of two law schools — most recently at the University of Idaho College of Law.

For Burnett, the appointment to the Office of the President holds an even deeper significance.

“It is a great and humbling honor to be called to service for the whole university,” he said. “It is also an opportunity to repay what I consider to be a family debt to the University of Idaho.”

Vandal BeginningsEarly in his career, Burnett attended a football game during a visit to the University of Idaho campus to give a guest lecture to law students. When the fight song played, some-thing unexpected happened.

“I was taken aback by the fact that I felt this great sense of calm and well-being when I heard the band play the Vandal fight song,” he recalled. When he later mentioned the experience to his mother, she said: ‘There’s an answer for that: When you were a baby and had trouble sleeping, your father and I would walk the halls singing: Came a tribe from the north brave and bold…,’” Burnett explained. “I guess a biologist would say I was imprinted as a Vandal.”

Burnett’s parents both came to the University of Idaho from the mining town of Wallace, Idaho, during the years of the Great Depression. In fact, a photo of Burnett’s mother, Doris ’37, hangs on the wall of the Administration Building. It’s

there not because she was a VIP, Burnett said, but because she was a student employee at the University of Idaho Library — where she felt lucky to earn 35 cents an hour. Bur-nett’s father, Donald Sr. ’38, hunted game to help feed his fraternity, and he interrupted his studies for a year to work in the mines at Wallace in order to pay tuition.

Times were tough, but Doris and Don Sr. were determined to become first in their respective families to get a college education.

“I remember my parents telling me that during those years, nobody among the students at UI had much money, but no one felt poor,” he said. “They were all in it together. There was a great sense of purpose. For them, the University of Idaho was the gateway to the world.”

Burnett says that, his parents’ memories of their beloved university planted in him a profound sense of gratitude and appreciation for the university.

“Everything they later became, they said they owed to the University of Idaho,” Burnett said. “Whatever my brother, Howard, and I later became, we owe to our parents, and therefore we also owe to the University of Idaho. I now have a chance to repay that debt.”

A Calling to LawBurnett was born in 1946 and raised in Pocatello, Idaho. His fondness for his hometown is evident as he reflects on his early years.

“Growing up in Pocatello was very important to both my brother and me,” he said. “We had a strong set of com-munity leaders who made a profound impact on me during my formative years.”

Burnett points to one Pocatello leader in particular for in-spiring his career path. Ben Davis was a successful business lawyer whose pro bono work for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes gave him special privileges to hunt on reservation land. One day, Davis invited then 14-year-old Burnett to join him for a duck hunt.

“As we walked toward a duck blind, we came across an elderly native woman who was washing clothes in the stream. She looked up startled, saw us with our shotguns over our shoulders, and shouted, ‘No shoot!’ and hurried off,” Burnett recalled. “Mr. Davis evidently had seen this before. He turned to me and asked: ‘Donnie, what do you think just happened? What do you think this part of the country was like when she first saw a white person with a gun?”

“That turned into a longer discussion about what Mr. Davis called the rule of force and the rule of law,” Burnett continued, “and why he had chosen the rule of law. I can still remember standing at the duck blind, with an Idaho sunset glowing in the distance and evening flights of ducks and geese crossing overhead, and I decided I was going to choose the rule of law, too.”

With a future in law in his sights, Burnett went on to earn his undergraduate degree magna cum laude at Harvard University and his J.D. from the University of Chicago. He returned to Idaho in 1971 to begin his career as a law clerk to the Chief Justice of the Idaho Supreme Court and as an assistant attorney general for the State of Idaho.

“I have a strong sense of personal gratitude for Pocatello and to the state of Idaho,” he said. “There was never any hesitation when I finished law school where I was going next.”

He entered private practice in Pocatello in 1972; became president of the Idaho State Bar in 1981; chaired the bar’s professional conduct standards committee; served as a judge of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribal Court; and was ex-ecutive director of the Idaho Judicial Council.

In 1981, after nearly a decade in private practice at Po-catello, Burnett felt the pull for a change.

“The part of practice that I found very rewarding was the problem solving, research and writing,” he said. “So work in the judiciary beckoned to me.”

As fate would have it, Burnett was appointed by Governor John V. Evans as one of the initial appellate judges, along

with Roger Swanstrom and Jesse Walters, to serve in the newly established Idaho Court of Appeals, which began operations in 1982.

“Roger and Jesse were tremendous colleagues. The three of us had a wonderful working relationship,” said Burnett, who retained his position in the court in 1986 after a statewide vote.

Burnett’s professional service also included time as a reserve officer in the Army Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps. A graduate on the “Commandant’s List” from the Command and General Staff College of the U.S. Army, Burnett held the position of reserve deputy commandant and academic director of The Judge Advocate General’s School. He received the U.S. Armed Forces Legion of Merit award for career achievements when he retired as a colonel in 2001.

Lured to Higher EducationWhile serving on the bench, Burnett earned a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. The experience gave him a taste of the thrills of working in higher education, and he wanted more.

Such an opportunity arose at the University of Louisville in 1990. Burnett was enticed by the fact that the chief bene-factor of Louisville’s law school was Louisville-native and former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, whose work and innovative ideas intrigued Burnett.

“He had great ideas for legal education,” Burnett ex-plained. “He was an exponent of pro bono service and interdisciplinary study. He also said the U.S. was distinc-tive as a laboratory for great ideas because the individual states could try out ideas of public policy without binding the entire nation, and that the universities and law schools would be the engines of these new ideas.”

“That was all very attractive to me,” he added.

Burnett spent a total of 12 years — 10 years as dean and two years as a professor — at the University of Louis-ville Brandeis School of Law which was named for Justice Brandeis during Burnett’s deanship. Under Burnett’s leader-

ship, the school became one of the first law schools in the nation to adopt a mandatory pro bono program.

“Service of some kind, to the community or to individuals who need help, is part of our professional obligation,” he said. “The pro bono program has as its fundamental as-sumption that helping people in need without compensa-tion to improve administration of justice is a responsibility of all lawyers, and it comes with the license to practice law.”

Coming HomeIn 2002, Burnett had the opportunity to return to his home state as dean of the University of Idaho College of Law.

During his tenure, Burnett worked to make the college one of the leading small state public law schools in the nation.

In his 11 years as dean, he collaborated with the faculty to add subject areas of curricular emphasis and interdisciplin-ary cooperation, to raise the level of institutional support for faculty scholarship, and to establish a pro bono require-ment.

He was also instrumental in the expansion of legal educa-tion to the state’s capital in Boise.

“I’ve always thought in Idaho that we should shape legal education so we are delivering our instruction and doing our research and outreach at the places where we can provide the greatest comparative advantage,” he said. “Moscow and Boise have unique strengths that comple-ment each other. We should not be confined under one roof, but should deliver legal education where distinctive benefits can be achieved.”

A recipient of the Idaho State Bar’s Distinguished Lawyer Award, Outstanding Service Award, and Professionalism Award, Burnett has dedicated his life to improving legal education and the practice of law in Idaho. During his Idaho deanship, he chaired an Idaho Supreme Court’s task force on structure and resources for the state appellate courts in the next quarter-century; chaired the University of Idaho’s Ethical Guidance and Oversight Committee; served as

a coordinating dean of university-wide interdisciplinary programs; and served on the Advisory Council for Operation Education, a scholarship program for disabled veterans.

Early in his University of Idaho career, Burnett chaired the University’s Steering Committee on Diversity and Human Rights. He drew on this experience throughout his deanship to infuse diversity in the faculty and student body at the law school.

“The College of Law has become known as a leader within the university community in terms of commitment to diversity,” he said. “There is no such thing as excellence in higher education without diversity. Diversity, in all of its forms, ought to be a signature of higher education in general, but it certainly is a signature for the Idaho law school.”

Secret to SuccessWhen reviewing Burnett’s lengthy and impressive vitae, one can’t help but wonder, how can one person achieve so much in just one lifetime?

“I often hear new graduates given the well-intended advice: ‘Don’t work too hard!’, but the world belongs to people who work too hard,” Burnett said. “The key is not to have a formula for work-life balance, but to instead find a balance of the imbalances. When your clients are calling, you must answer the call. But it’s important to repay that accumulated debt and invest that time back into the fam-ily as time becomes available.”

Burnett credits his father for this innate drive to work hard and recalls a specific childhood moment when he tagged along with his father, a certified public accountant, on a professional visit to a small-business family.

“I didn’t understand the technical aspects of what was being discussed, but I understood these people really depended on my dad, and he owed them every iota of his attention and his capabilities,” he said. “That made a profound impact on me. After that, if he was busy helping a family and couldn’t play catch, I understood.”

This lesson stuck with Burnett as he, too, balanced a de-manding career with fatherhood. He and his wife of nearly 44 years, Karen, raised two sons. He also has one grand-child and another on the way. Burnett credits the support

of his family for helping to fuel his success, along with an unwavering faith that he has dedicated his life to doing exactly what he was intended to do.

“True happiness is to be dissolved into something that is complete and great . . . something that’s bigger than oneself,” said Burnett, paraphrasing novelist Willa Cather. “I think the law and the pursuit of justice represent something complete and great. True happiness is to be subsumed in them.”

Burnett will serve as interim president until a permanent replacement is hired. He hasn’t yet decided his next steps following his presidential service, but returning to the College of Law as a professor may be one option. Could retirement be another?

“I don’t know . . . I think I would flunk retirement,” he laughs.

In the meantime, Burnett will continue to give of his full self to repay the university that provided the foundation on which his parents’ built their family’s success. What would Burnett’s parents think if they could see him now?

“I think they would confirm that the University of Idaho was a place of opportunity for them, a gateway to the world, and that we should continue to work hard to build on its greatness,” Burnett said.

One thing is certain: They would be brimming with Vandal pride.

Romeo “Kade” Beorchia spends much of his free time in a study carrel at the Idaho Law Library in the UI Boise Center where the third-year law student says he spends eight to 12 hours a day preparing for his law degree.

“It can be taxing, but every day when I look out the window I am reminded why I am here and where I am headed,” says Beorchia regarding the view of several of the top Boise law firms visible from the fifth-floor view at UI Boise.

He credits the College of Law faculty, staff and alumni for helping provide stu-dent opportunities to network with successful, practicing attorneys — “experi-ence I know will prove invaluable when it comes time to start my career in law,” he said.

“When I first enrolled with the UI College of Law I had a narrow view of my future,” he said. “The rigors and demands of the UI law program have taught me that I am capable of much more than I thought. I learned to set higher goals for myself — I didn’t have to be afraid to dream big.”

Kade was admitted to a number of other law schools, but scholarship support is why he chose to become a Vandal.

“I have been fortunate to receive the Langrois Scholarship, the Albert R. Menard Jr. Scholarship, the Frank A. Shrontz College of Law Scholarship and the Thomsen Stephens Law Firm Student Scholarship,” he said. “Your gift makes it possible for me to focus on my passion for studying law. I’ve made the Dean’s List each semester, and I’m proud to be ranked in the top ten percent of my class.”

Law school is expensive for the father of three. “Every day I am motivated by my wife, our three children, and my desire to provide them a stable life. The best way for me to justify their many sacrifices is to study hard and prepare for a successful career. Your generous support of my tuition and books allows me to focus on my studies and my family. Thank you.”

It’s a Family ThingFor many families,

the college of Law is a tradition that runs deep.

the stellmon Legacy Tanner Stellmon ’06 holds the distinction of having his picture displayed twice among the hundreds of alumni photos that adorn a Menard Building hallway on the University of Idaho College of Law campus. One image depicts him as a four-year-old boy, standing next to his young-lawyer father; the other captures Tanner as a 24-year-old new law graduate, proudly becoming the fourth-generation of his family to earn a Juris Doctorate (J.D.) degree from the University of Idaho College of Law.

“The University of Idaho and the College of Law have been in the Stellmon bloodlines and running through our veins for a long time,” said Tanner’s father, John Stellmon ’84.

It is a tradition that began more than 85 years ago with Tanner’s great-grandfather, Elbert A. Stellmon ’28. Elbert began his legal career in his hometown of Nezperce, Idaho, at the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office, where he was the youngest prosecuting attorney in the nation at the time. He later opened a practice in Lewiston, Idaho, where he etched a name for both his family and his beloved university.

“My granddad was a proud Idahoan and Vandal,” John said. “He was so steeped in the University of Idaho legacy and its heritage and history. In a lot of ways, he was there from the beginning. To him, there was not another university out there.”

Elbert’s son, William Stellmon ’60, followed suit and joined his father’s law firm after he graduated from the University of Idaho College of Law.

“He was your classic, small-town lawyer, sometimes ac-cepting payment in the form of cookies, used tires and old cars,” Tanner said about his grandfather. “When I asked him once about accepting payment of that sort, he just said: ‘These people need the kind of help I can give them.’”

On par with tradition, John Stellmon ’84, William’s son, also earned his law degree at the University of Idaho. He prac-ticed alongside his father in Lewiston for seven years before launching a successful corporate career with Regence Blue Shield of Idaho, where he climbed to the position of president and CEO.

“I never felt pressure from my dad to do anything than what I felt what was right to do,” John said. “He encouraged me to stand on my own two feet, and he got out of the

way. He wanted me to find my own path. That’s the way he was taught, the way I was taught, and the way I tried to teach my children.”

“My path has always been mine to forge,” agreed Tanner, John’s son. “When I was finishing my undergraduate degree, my dad told me: ‘It occurs to me that you may feel some type of pull or pressure to be a lawyer, but don’t do it because you think someone expects you to.’

“A year later I ended up in law school. It may have been reverse psychology,” he joked.

Tanner recalls a conversation in which his grandfather light-heartedly “double-dog dared” him to break from tradition and become a dentist instead.

“Grandpa told me there would be more money in dentistry and more free time to fish, but I’ve always found the law interesting. It was a logical choice for me,” Tanner said.

While Tanner may have attended law school of his own ac-cord, his family undoubtedly inspired his career choice.

“I felt like the best way to contribute to my community was to better myself through my education and to pursue a career that would enable me to make a difference,” he said. “I saw my grandfather do that, my dad do that, and it was something I aspired to do.”

Tanner is now prosecuting attorney for Ada County and father to his two-year-old son, Gavin. Whether or not Gavin will become the fifth generation to attend the College of Law remains to be seen, but the Stellmon legal legacy will certainly live on — thanks to a scholarship Tanner’s grand-mother, Marlene, established in the college in honor of her late husband, William.

“The University of Idaho law school experience played an influential role in their lives and in dad’s career,” John said of his parents. “Mom thought that dad would really enjoy having his name attached to the facilitation of a young law student being helped financially to realize their career dreams.”

anne dwelle and Karin JonesAs an eight-year-old girl perched at the kitchen table while her mother prepared her favorite chicken dinner, Karin Jones ’03 got her first glimpse at the legal world.

“I remember helping my mom study for her torts and contracts classes as she cooked,” Karin said. “We would use flashcards with hypothetical situations to quiz each other. The puzzle solving was a lot of fun for me. It was like a game.”

At the time, Karin’s mother, Anne Dwelle ’88, was in her first year in the University of Idaho College of Law after more than 10 years as a stay-at-home mom of two. Watching her mother juggle parenting with the demands of full-time law school — and subsequently begin a successful law practice in Moscow, Idaho — left a lasting impression on Karin.

“Seeing her succeed at law school and then in her legal career made me feel like it was something I could do, too,” Karin said. “I think it’s inspiring to see your mom succeed in any professional career.”

After completing her undergraduate degree in 2000 at Whit-man College, Karin returned to her hometown of Moscow, Idaho, to begin her own law school journey, but not without a few reservations.

“In some ways, I hesitated to go to law school because I wanted to forge my own path and do my own things,” she explained. “I wasn’t sure I was doing it for the right reasons, or if I was just falling into that path because I was familiar with it.”

Fortunately, Karin said, the University of Idaho and the legal field were both a good fit. Today, she is an associ-ate attorney at a law firm in Seattle, Wash.

For Anne, having her daughter return home to become a second-generation University of Idaho law graduate was a rewarding experience that required a delicate balance between providing Karin support and encouraging her independence.

“I was delighted that she chose the University of Idaho because I knew she was going to get the same caliber of education that I received,” Anne said. “But I tried to stay clear so she could chart her course and do it her own way. She was way smarter than I was, so I had no doubt that she could do it.”

A few years ago, Anne and Karin once again found themselves gathered around a table discussing the law, but this time as attorneys collaborating on an adoption case for a lifelong family friend.

“I just never thought I’d see my name side by side with my daughter’s at the bottom of pleadings,” Anne said. “It gave me an incredible charge. That case was won-derful on so many levels.”

trudy and taylor fouserTaylor Fouser’s legal career began to take root as early as elementary school.

“When he was in the third grade, he wrote his first contract that set the limits of when and where I could hug him,” chuckled Taylor’s mother, Trudy Fouser. “He amended it in the sixth grade so that I couldn’t hug him in the state of Idaho.”

It was no surprise when Taylor proclaimed in junior high that he was going to practice law some day. Now, in his third year of law school, he is well on his way to achieving his goal of becoming a litigation lawyer.

Next spring, Taylor will become the fourth member of his family to earn a degree from the University of Idaho College of Law, following in the steps of his mother, Trudy Fouser ’81, his father, Scott Fouser ’82, and his stepfather, Jack Gjording ’66.

Taylor points to his mother, Trudy, a prominent Idaho trial lawyer at Gjording Fouser in Boise, for helping to shape his career path.

“I can remember being six years old at the dinner table and my brother, sister, and I would pretend we were jurors while my mom would try to persuade us in her client’s favor... with us, she always won,” Taylor said. “As I grew older, I never stopped being her pretend juror and would watch her during trial whenever possible. It just happened to be what really interests me.”

Trudy said her influence in Taylor’s decision to practice law was unintentional.

“We joke that he must have been the only one of our children that we forgot to warn because it can be a very challenging profession,” she said. “But he really seems to thrive doing it.”

For Trudy and Taylor, who both earned their undergraduate degrees outside of Idaho, returning to their home state to attend law school was a strategic choice.

“I had lived some place else and knew I wanted to come back to start my career,” Trudy said. “If you want to practice in Idaho, I think you gain a huge competitive ad-vantage if you go to the University of Idaho. You come out immediately with a great professional network.”

Growing up in the shadow of a lawyer family has taught Taylor a lot about the legal profession, including one impor-tant lesson that will surely guide him as he embarks on his own career.

“I’ve learned that you don’t try to be someone you’re not, especially as you go through trials,” he said. “Find out who you are, find your own style, believe in what you’re doing, and do it in an ethical manner. It has seemed to work well for all of them, and I’m sure it will work well for me.”

Judge Candy W. Dale ’82, Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge for the District of Idaho, presented the commencement address to the graduating class of 2013. Judge Dale spoke about the ways in which our lives are sometimes defined by numbers — weight, height, GPA, and LSAT score. She encouraged the graduates to let their lives instead be “paint by number” and not let just one number define their lives.

Referencing the book, “The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life” by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander, Judge Dale suggested that graduates think about their lives as “being a contribution.”

“When you think about what your contribution will be, I hope you will reflect on your education at the University of Idaho College of Law.” She complemented the graduat-ing class for completing and exceeding the pro bono hour graduation requirement. She ended her address by noting the legacy of Don Burnett and his 11 years as dean of the College of Law.

President M. Duane Nellis made opening and closing remarks and conferred the de-grees. Provost Douglas Baker presented the candidates for degree. Additional remarks were made by Student Bar Association President Sarah Simmers and Dean Don Bur-nett. Participating in the commencement were University of Idaho Alumni Hall of Fame award recipient John Rosholt ’64 and Faculty Award for Legal Merit honoree Dennis Wheeler ’67.

News & NotesLaw Alumnus Argues Before the U.S. Supreme Court

Mark Walters ’00 and Dario Machleidt from the Seattle law office of From-

mer Lawrence & Haug, made a pre-sentation at the College of Law on April 22, 2013, on the U.S. Supreme Court case, Bowman v. Monsanto Co., 133 S. Ct. 1761, 185 L. Ed. 2d 931, 106 U.S.P.Q.2d. 1593 (2013). Walters and Machleidt represented the plaintiff, Mr. Bowman, pro bono. The case involved Monsanto’s patents for its genetically modified, Roundup Ready seeds. They represented an Indiana famer who bought Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soybean seed. The seed contained a gene that was inserted by Monsanto that made the plants resistance to Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide and made the plants easier to grow while killing the weeds. Monsanto sued Bowman for patent infringement.

The question before the court was whether Monsanto’s first sale of the patented Roundup Ready seed “exhausts” its pat-ent claim and prevents Monsanto from seeking royalties on subsequent, self-replicating seeds that contain the claimed gene. The Supreme Court held that the patent exhaus-tion does not permit a farmer to reproduce patented seeds through planting and harvesting without the patent holder’s permission.

The Navajo Nation Supreme Court and the Idaho Court of Appeals held back-to-back oral arguments in the College of Law courtroom in Moscow during the week of March 12, 2013. The Navajo Court heard oral argument in Neptune Leasing, Inc. v. Mountain States Petroleum Corporation and Nacogdoches Oil and Gas, Inc., a case presenting issues of tribal jurisdiction and breach of commercial contract. The Justices also conducted a panel discussion on “The Operations and Principles Guiding the Navajo Nation Supreme Court.” The Navajo Court has jurisdiction over the largest tribal land base and population in the United States. Members of the Navajo Court also joined Idaho Chief Justice Roger Burdick, United States Magistrate Ronald Bush, and members of other Idaho and tribal courts in a day-long forum designed to illuminate issues of jurisdiction and legal process among the federal, state and tribal courts in Idaho..

The Navajo Court’s visit was made possible through the sponsorship of: the law firm of Stoel Rives, LLP, University of Idaho Office of the President, University of Idaho Native American Tribal Liaison, University of Idaho Human Rights, Access and Inclusion, University of Idaho American Indian Studies Program, University of Idaho Native American Student Center, University of Idaho College of Law, and the University of Idaho College of Law student organizations: Native American Law Student Association (NALSA); the Environmental Law Society; the Women’s Law Caucus; and the Student Bar Association.

The 2013 Idaho Law Review Symposium featured an interdisciplinary panel of legal, scientific and business experts on the topic of hydraulic fracturing. Topics included the science and technology of hydraulic fracturing, the regulation of hydraulic fracturing environmental effects, the role of state and local governments, current legal hot topics such as the role of trespass and trade secrets, and the role of hydraulic fracturing in a clean energy future for the country. The symposium was held on April 29, 2013 at the Water Center in Boise. Professor Stephen Miller served as the faculty adviser. The 2014 Idaho Law Review Symposium will be held on April 4, 2014, and the topic will be Resilient Cities: Environment/Economy/Equity. The symposium will focus on cutting-edge, non-traditional approaches to implementing environmental and social projects that promote city resilience.

The Idaho Law Symposium is a College of Law tradition that brings together a select group of scholars and professionals for an informed interdis-ciplinary discussion centered on a topic of growing national importance. By exposing members of the academic, business, technological and legal com-munities to diverse viewpoints and multifaceted experiences, the goal is to provide a forum for open discourse which will provide participants with valu-able information applicable to their own business and legal situations.

Signature Events

Kenneth Feinberg, the nation’s leading authority on mediating disputes and administering compensation in mass injury cases, was the keynote speaker for the 2012 sherman J. bellwood Memorial Lecture on october 3-4, 2012. Feinberg has served as the chief architect of legal compensation for the nation’s most daunting, contemporary tragedies, including 9/11, Agent Orange, the shootings at Virginia Tech, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill and, most recently, to administer a resolution process for claims arising from the child abuse incidents at Penn State University. He has been listed repeatedly in “Profiles in Power” as one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America, and he was selected as the 2004 National Law Journal’s “Lawyer of the Year.”

The 2013 Bellwood Lecture on October 7-8 featured the national civil rights leader Morris Dees. His lecture was entitled “With Justice for all in a Changing America.” Dees is the co-founder and chief trial counsel for the Southern Poverty Law Center. He is known in Idaho for the work his center did to spearhead the legal initiatives to remove the Aryan Nation’s presence in northern Idaho. Dees founded the Intelligence Project, which monitors hate groups. He has also developed an educations program called “Teaching Tolerance,” designed to help teachers prepare a new generation to live in a diverse world.

An exhibit to honor the life and career of Sen. William E. Borah was unveiled at a reception held on March 5, 2013 at the idaho state Law Library at the College of Law boise campus. Lt. Gov. Brad Little ’71 made opening remarks to those in attendance. David Leroy ’71 and Marc Johnson from the Gallatin Group offered commentary on the life and times of Senator Borah. The exhibit will remain on display at the Idaho State Law Library in Boise. Creation of the legal-history focused exhibit was made possible by private donations, the University of Idaho College of Law, and by a generous grant from the U.S. District Court’s Community Outreach Grant Program.

Faculty Adopts Professionalism Requirement

Students entering the College of Law in the fall of 2014 will be required to complete a professionalism education program as part of the J.D. curriculum.

The plan, adopted by the faculty in spring 2013, provides for a multi-year series of educational programs that address cultural competencies; civility and appropriate professional behaviors before courts, tribunals, and in other profes-sional settings; law practice management; bias and thought processes; and other topics related to the development of a student’s professional conduct and identity. These learning opportunities will enhance our graduate’s readiness for future success in their career.

Legal Needs Assessment Study Completed by College of Law

A study by the College of Law and the Social Sci-ence Unit at the University of Idaho conducted an assessment of the legal needs facing Idahoans

in non-criminal matters. The study found that hundreds of thousands of Idahoans had unmet needs for civil legal services during the past year and found that Idahoans were most likely to need assistance in assessing public benefits and in debt collection matters. Households at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty levels were found twice as likely as the general population to have unmet legal needs. The results of the needs assessment will be used by the College of Law and other policy makers to help make decisions on how to meet the needs of the underserved populations in Idaho. For more information about the as-sessment, contact Maureen Laflin at [email protected].
