THE TIMES DEMANDED IT.To prepare students for work andservice in a global environment, BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law transformed what we are capable of achieving.

The generosity of donors, who invested $180 MILLION, surpassedour goal and set in motion a remarkable success story—one that isdeepening Penn Law’s influence on the legal academy and making atangible difference for our entire community.

We are strengthening opportunities for students to combine disciplines,learn experientially, and prepare for careers. Our faculty has grown insize, stature, and scope, and leads an expanded, more diverse combinationof curriculum, clinics, and programs. Penn Law’s partnerships flourishwithin the University and around the world. Our campus is modern,integrated, and reflective of our collaborative culture.

Golkin architectsKennedy & Violich worked with Penn Law to select materials for this tribute to law libraries everywhere.

We knew we had to bebold.

We have been bold. We are bold. And now we can look to a bold future.

The story of this campaign foretells the story of law in the 21st century and beyond.

AN UNMISTAKABLE SHIFT in what it means to be a lawyer places new demands on the profession—and opens new opportunities. A successful lawyer must now be capable of crossing intellectual, cultural,and geographic boundaries. This new paradigm reflects what is required to be a leader and a problem-solverin a more complex, integrated, multidimensional, and synergistic world.

BOLD AMBITIONS responded to this change and anticipated its implications. Our most comprehensivefundraising effort ever, the Campaign developed and expanded Penn Law’s core strengths in this new environment.

Penn Law has always offered a superb legal education. BOLD AMBITIONS has provided the resources to build on this foundation, leverage the unique opportunities before us, and evolve.

The attributes that have always made the Law School distinctive directed our focus and guided this journey:tight-knit community and colleagueship, outstanding research and scholarship, the most interdisciplinaryfaculty, an emphasis on cross-disciplinary and experiential learning, and above all, a supportive communityof successful and generous alumni.

Cross-DisciplinaryParadigm

For students who want a jd/mba joint degree, a new three-yearprogram offers a time-effective option with fresh opportunitiesto integrate both sides of their education. In their final semester,students design capstone projects that tackle real-world problems.

“It’s our equivalent of a graduation concert,” saysEdward Rock L’83, Saul A. Fox DistinguishedProfessor of Business Law. “After three years ofthe pedagogically finest JD/MBA curriculum, students show us what they can do.” Projects aimhigh. The first group tackled subjects as diverse asEuropean investment opportunities arising from

the sovereign debt crisis, social venture investing, potentialGoogle antitrust issues, and a business plan that has since becomea start-up called CommonBond, which provides lower-cost loansto students in top-tier MBA programs.

Nearly half of Penn Law faculty members hold a joint appointment at another Penn school. Dorothy Roberts becamePenn Law’s first Penn Integrates Knowledge (PIK) professor—and the 14th at the University—when she was named the George A. Weiss University Professor of Law and Sociology andthe Raymond Pace and Sadie Tanner MossellAlexander ED’18, GR’21, L’27 Professorof Civil Rights.

THE LAW PROPELS INNOVATION’S LEADING EDGE.

The IP LawMeet was uncharted territory for Lauren Saltiel L’14 andChristina Wong L’14, just weeks intotheir 2L year. Facing off against 3Lteams from law schools across thecountry, they won the national cham-pionship. While proving their mettlehandling a complex cross-license agreement, they affirmed Penn Law’scross-disciplinary expertise in intellec-tual property law.

“I was so proud of how Laurenand Christina used not only legal analytical skills but also business savvy,interpersonal skills, and general problem-solving to succeed. That multifacetedapproach is at the heart of successfultransactional lawyering,” says professorand coach Cynthia Dahl, inaugural Director of the Detkin IntellectualProperty and Technology Legal Clinic,funded by a gift from Peter DetkinEE’82, L’85.

The Detkin Clinic expands students’opportunities to develop and apply theskills that show how lawyers can helpcompanies commercialize innovation.Interacting with Penn’s Center forTechnology Transfer and with classesfrom Wharton and the Schools of Engineering and Medicine, the Clinic is creating a unique platform for excellence. “I love the intellectual firein these Penn Law students,” says Dahl,“and I am thrilled that they are so excited about this area of the law.”

BOLD AMBITIONS recognized the need for even greater cross-disciplinary excellence. Today’s problems can only be analyzed and solved by thinking broadly. To meet this challenge, we have dramatically expanded the opportunities to graduate with a joint degree and inspired more students to study and think across disciplines.

Page 7: Being Bold: The Transformative Impact of BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law

“Studying at Penn Law and Wharton gave me an inquisitive mind and better critical-thinking and communication skills. The realdifference shows up later in life. You couldsay Penn Law really prepared me for my lastjob—the one most important to my career.”

Paul Haaga Jr. L’74, WG’74As Board Chair during the Campaign, Haaga advocated for investing in cross-disciplinary growth. BOLD AMBITIONS added joint-degree opportunities and created endowed positions for new faculty, including Penn Law’s first Penn Integrates Knowledge Professorship.

Global Engagement

The Campaign has made global engagement a two-way thoroughfare. The mead international fellowships, made possible by a gift from Scott Mead L’82, catapult studentsaround the world during their summers to work on projects

that address the legal and business sides of globalhuman rights. As part of the International SummerHuman Rights Fellows cohort, Mead Fellows explore key development issues like building microfinance systems or investing in public-worksinfrastructures. Traveling from the world to campus,the bok visiting international professors teach

and lecture on cutting-edge issues, and connect students to thelegal framework of future global practice. Penn Law has hosted18 Bok VIPs from 12 countries since 2010. All are renowned experts in their fields, including former Chilean Judge JuanGuzmán Tapia, who taught a transitional justice course based onhis experience leading the investigation of General Augusto Pinochetfor human rights violations. “At Penn Law, international cutsacross everything. Donor support helps expose students to theglobal dimension of law, from corporate and transactional practiceto finance, health care, and human rights,” says Associate Deanfor International Programs Amy Gadsden.

THE WORLD MAKES THE BESTCLASSROOM.

Experiential learning is a hallmark of Penn Law. Rekha Nair L’12 arrived already curious about interna-tional human rights issues. During her2L year, her exposure to the SheehanAsylum/Human Rights Project/Transnational Legal Clinic focused and inspired her interest.

As co-counsel representing an asylum-seeking family from the Republic of the Congo, Nair learnedimmigration law from the ground up.In Haiti, she led a student team researching and drafting a report on restavèk child labor practices for United Nations review.

Nair credits the Clinic with crystallizing her professional goal: tochampion justice across legal systemsby working on immigration casesbased in the United States, while alsoengaging in systemic human rights advocacy. “The Clinic was my mostimportant Penn Law experience,” shesays. “It taught me how to affectmeaningful change both domesticallyand abroad.”

A gift by Skadden, Arps in honorof Robert Sheehan L’69 made possiblethe Clinic’s expanded work. “Asylumand international rights work requiresa greater investment in travel, adminis-trative support, and specific resourceslike interpreters and expert witnesses,”says Clinic Director Sarah Paoletti.“But the return on investment is great.It’s eye-opening the first time studentshave primary responsibility for navigatingthe law and legal systems while movinga client's case forward. That experiencecan change the trajectory of a career.”

BOLD AMBITIONS fast-tracked our distinctively interdisciplinary global initiatives. We’ve brought the world to Penn Law and engaged our students globally in compelling new ways.

Page 9: Being Bold: The Transformative Impact of BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law

“I’ve benefitted from a broad array of uniqueinternational experiences. I am confidentPenn Law has given me the strongest foundation—one I can draw on wherever my career takes me.”

Megan Tweed L’13Tweed came to Penn Law with an interest in domestic urban policy, but deferred admission to work in West Africa for two years. With a new focuson international law, Tweed worked at the WTO in Geneva as a Mead International Fellow. A 2L Global Research Seminar about comparative Internet law then allowed her to conduct research in Germany and Belgium.Finally, Tweed spent her 3L year earning a joint degree in global businesslaw in Paris.

Public ServiceEthos

The langer, grogan & diver fellowship in social justice,funded by a gift from Howard Langer L’77, John Grogan L’93,and Edward Diver L’99, G’01, GR’04, was one of five public interest postgraduate fellowships created during the Campaign.

It supports a Law School graduate student beginning a career by serving low-income, disenfranchised communities. Abel Rodriguez L’11,an early recipient, immediately knew he wouldchoose immigration law, the reason he had left aposition as a Penn Spanish instructor to return to school. “This was the ideal way to launch my

career: working on the issue I care about most; finding a goodlocal partner, Nueva Esperanza; and using client skills I learnedat Penn Law.” The Fellowship has been a springboard to his“dream job.” In fact, Rodriguez has two: working as an immigrationspecialist with the Defender Association of Philadelphia and asan immigration attorney for clients with criminal records at theNationalities Service Center.

PASSIONS INSPIRE THE MOST REWARDING CAREERS.

Shikha Bhattacharjee L’13 is determined to fight for social justicefor marginalized communities in her native India. In Penn Law, she found the school to support her ambition.

Among the first schools to mandatecommunity service and establish apublic interest center, Penn Law wasthe first of only two law schools everto win the American Bar Association’s Pro Bono Publico Award. Bhattacharjeecontinues this tradition as a Toll PublicInterest Scholar, a program transformedby a gift from Robert Toll L’66 andhis wife, Jane.

“Campaign resources have deepenedour commitment to service, enablingus to keep pace with our students’ exceptional vision and initiative” saysArlene Finkelstein, Assistant Dean forPublic Interest Programs and ExecutiveDirector of the Toll Public InterestCenter. “We’ve added scholarships,postgraduate fellowships, guaranteedsummer funding, and more resourcesfor students who pursue public interestcareers. We’ve also expanded our Centerto support all students working on pro bono cases.”

“Financial support and loan forgiveness enable my education,” addsBhattacharjee, “and the mentorship I receive as a Toll Scholar enriches it. I have a team of advisors invested inmy development.”

After graduation, she plans toreturn to India, where she is alreadyworking with organizations on caste-and gender-based discrimination issues.“India still has the space to work onwhat is possible, not what is. Penn Lawconnects me to that space of possibility.”

BOLD AMBITIONS advanced the practice of public interest law atPenn, in Philadelphia, and across the globe. Every Penn student is empoweredto pursue a career in public service, and all students experience the benefits of learning to lawyer through service.

Page 11: Being Bold: The Transformative Impact of BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law

“The Toll Loan Repayment Assistance Program adds to everything Penn Law hasdone to connect me with a specialized public-service career. I’m lucky enough to be workingin an area that is so important: fair lendingand foreclosure prevention. It’s reassuring tobe able to focus on my work—systemic civilrights and individual client cases—withoutworrying about my finances.”

Maureen St. Cyr L’11 Attorney, Community Legal Aid, Worcester, Mass.As a student, St. Cyr co-founded Penn Law’s Civil Rights Law Project and interned at the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, working on a significant lending discrimination case against a major national lender.After clerking for Vermont Superior Court, St. Cyr joined the Housing Unitof Community Legal Aid.

Market-ReadyProfessional

Penn Law teaches students a broad array of transferable skills.The first-year curriculum, expanded through the Campaign, covers legal writing comprehensively and introduces a range ofreal-world legal communications. Students become adept writers,

analysts, and communicators by working throughpractice simulations. A broader upper-level curriculum offers additional opportunities topractice these skills, including work on law journalsby the vast majority of students. Helen Eisner L’12,former senior editor of the Journal of Constitutional Law,recently extended Penn Law’s streak of 11 consecutive

Burton Distinguished Legal Writing Awards. “New space andstaff have a major impact on first-year legal skills training,”says Eleanor Barrett L’07, Associate Dean for Legal Writing andCommunications. “Professional instructors with recent practiceexperience can give students detailed, individualized attentionwith a focus on readiness for practice.”

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGESSTART HERE.

In 2012, Penn Law ranked first nationally in placing first-year associatesin AmLaw 250 firms, with nearly 57 percent of the class landing thesesought-after positions. Of 1,065 graduates between 2008 and 2011,98.9 percent were successfully placedin jobs.

“We saw the market shift andstayed ahead of the curve,” saysHeather Frattone L’98, Associate Deanfor Career Planning and Professionalism.“Employers need first-year lawyerswho are practice-ready. We must traingraduates to solve increasingly complexproblems in increasingly sophisticatedsettings.”

This success reflects Penn Law’sdeep commitment to professionalism.The Campaign invested in morestaffing and resources to help studentsdevelop professional identities; newskills-focused classes and clinics; and a more robust, integrated role for theCenter on Professionalism.

“Integration is key,” says Frattone.“We provide the best core analyticaland doctrinal education, as well as unparalleled opportunities for our students to hone their legal practiceskills on campus and in the world. Wemust continue aligning other skills—teamwork, communication, manage-ment—so every Penn Law graduate is ready to engage in a meaningful, fulfilling career.”

BOLD AMBITIONS advanced professionalism as a key goal of every education. We have greatly expanded the first-year and upper-level curricula and added faculty and staff to support professional skills as a shared priority.

Page 13: Being Bold: The Transformative Impact of BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law

“Penn Law does more than stamp the Pennimprimatur on you. They prepare you tolead, delegate, and deliver under pressure.Law firms of all stripes see Penn Law graduates as bright, assertive, and able to take on responsibility right away.”

David Williams L’10Attorney, Kline & Specter, Philadelphia, Penn.Williams, president of the class of 2010, was applying to work for the U.S. Department of Justice, where he had served an internship, when he was offered an interview and a position at Kline & Specter. His first month onthe job, Williams was handed a pro bono case and has been litigating ever since.

Collaborative Campus

Naming a professorship or space after a dean is a time-honoredtradition but usually comes at retirement. Paul Haaga Jr. L’74,WG’74 and his wife, Heather, and Richard Schifter L’78 and hiswife, Jennifer, were not about to wait that long to pay tribute

to Dean Michael Fitts and his leadership in Penn Law’s most important period of growth. “Mike Fitts has been so active and influential, andso connected to our community. He develops hisvision by listening,” says Haaga. During GolkinHall’s construction, Haaga and Schifter found theperfect naming opportunity: the 350-seat auditorium,

the first space large enough to accommodate an entire class. Here, world-renowned speakers deliver lectures, and as a centralvenue, the auditorium’s name will be in common use for decadesto come. “We wanted people to say and repeat ‘michael a. fittsauditorium’ every day we’re in session.”

SPACE CONNECTS AND DEFINESOUR COMMUNITY.

Penn Law is like no other law campus.Just one square block, it uses an innovative mixed-use approach to space that both supports and shapesthe Law School’s collaborative culture.

The Campaign allowed Penn Lawto update and adapt every building andspace on campus, including the centralcourtyard, the second floor and lowerlevel of Silverman Hall, and first-flooroffices nestled around the Clock Lounge.The masterstroke is Golkin Hall, amodern, light-infused structure withgreen components, which adds 40,000square feet of smartly designed, seamlessly integrated spaces.

R. Polk Wagner chaired the Faculty Building Committee. “Thereare many things to like: seminar roomsand flexible office spaces; the airy,open feel of decks, terraces, and lightcascading down wells,” he says.“Golkin’s collaborative zones are especially useful. By bridging routesstudents and faculty take, they createimpromptu meeting spaces.”

Every floor makes sense. Thelower level anchors the building withstudent spaces, the Fitts Auditorium,and the Kline & Specter Courtroom.The ground floor bustles with foottraffic through the Haaga GoatLounge. The second floor inspires anew approach to faculty collaboration,with bridges to second-floor facultyoffices in Silverman and Gittis, wherethe connector is a sanctuary-like greenroof. A third-floor terrace overlooks it all. Wagner adds, “We’ve forged anew aesthetic combining high-techsensibilities with tradition.”

BOLD AMBITIONS completed a decade-long transformation of our campus. One of the nation’s finest law school campuses is now fully integrated and spatially diverse, and, like today’s legal profession, both interconnected and dynamic.

Page 15: Being Bold: The Transformative Impact of BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law

“One of the things I enjoyed most about Penn Law is the pride we take in developinga strong culture of collaboration and collegiality. Helping organize the class giftwas a welcome task because I knew my class-mates and I were contributing to a physicalspace that would help foster this culture forgenerations to come.”

Pablo Rubinstein Ize L’12Associate, White & Case, Los Angeles, Calif.As co-chair of his 3L class, Rubinstein Ize worked with his peers to choose a fitting class gift to present to Dean Fitts at graduation. To acknowledge Penn Law’s transformation during their time there, the class of 2012 decided to make a named gift of the East Garden on Sansom Street.

Increasing Access

Life-changing doors of opportunity opened during the Campaignas donors established 71 new scholarships funds. Each year, income from the new endowed funds enables the education of up to 128 students. Paul Levy L’72 and his wife, Karen, led the

way by establishing the levy scholars program.These major scholarships have deepened recipients’experiences by thoughtfully pairing them withalumni and faculty mentors whose expertise mirrorstheir specific interest from specialized fields tocross-disciplinary intersections with business, engineering, medicine, technology, and more.

“I am deeply gratified to see Levy Scholars able to take advantage of so many compelling opportunities not available at otherschools,” says Levy, who chaired BOLD AMBITIONS. “Myhope is these Scholars will prove that cross-disciplinary study is essential to success today and that Penn Law is the best placeto launch a career.”

THE LEGAL ACADEMY MUSTEMPHASIZE OPPORTUNITY.

For as long as she can remember, Erica Holland L’15 had seen one majorobstacle to her dream of becoming alawyer: financial resources. Even herundergraduate degree was a first in herfamily, and scholarships were essential.

With support from a nonprofit organization dedicated to college access, Holland applied to Penn as anundergraduate and found the financialaid she needed. Grades and expecta-tions remained high and her horizonsexpanded. She traveled to South Africaon a Fulbright Fellowship and foundopportunities to give back, volunteeringwith AmeriCorps and serving as aPhilly Fellow.

Accepted into Penn Law, Hollandwas named a recipient of the CarolynCW’64 and Paul Shapiro C’64, L’67Scholarship, one of 71 new scholar-ships established during the Campaign.“I want to tell Mr. and Mrs. Shapirowhat a privilege it is to earn a JD fromone of the best law schools,” says Holland. “I can set an example for myfour nephews and two nieces. Neitherof my parents completed high school,but I am becoming a lawyer.”

Holland sees clearly the role ofscholarships in Penn Law’s future.“They bring socioeconomic diversity to our class. You have a different perspective as a person who didn’tgrow up with means. I intend to takethat point of view into my legal career.”

BOLD AMBITIONS has opened the doors to Penn Law wider thanever. We have dramatically strengthened our ability to offer the finest legal education to students who live up to our academic standards, regardless of means.

Page 17: Being Bold: The Transformative Impact of BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law

“The fact that I am where I am today is improbable. I owe it all to educational opportunities, many made possible throughscholarships, and to Puerto Rico, where I’vebeen very blessed, both personally and inbusiness. My wife and I want to pay forwardour blessings with gratitude.”

Mark Davis L’75A member of the Board of Overseers and Campaign Executive Committee,Davis, with his wife, Yoly Villamil-Davis, established the Davis-Villamil Scholarship to support first-year students, preferably of Latin descent, andideally from Puerto Rico. The couple also supported the Campaign with anamed gift for the new Davis Student Union.

We must continue to actboldly.

Page 23: Being Bold: The Transformative Impact of BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law

THE GENEROUS DONORS TO BOLD AMBITIONS: The Campaign for Penn Law have invested in a distinctive vision of legal education for the 21st century. They have also invested in Penn Law’s bold, capableleadership of a changing profession that touches every part of our lives and every corner of the world.

Campaign gifts have enabled a broad range of academic programs and learning opportunities. They have established professorships, scholarships, clinics, and centers. Donors have invested in our culture and in spacesthroughout this tight-knit campus. They have met urgent priorities, and cleared paths for new paradigmsand ways of thinking.

For our students and alumni, these are the building blocks of successful careers in every field of law— serving clients and the world, seeking the best solutions, supporting business and innovation, and advancinginternational governance and human rights.

Even as it strengthens these individual futures, the Campaign has better secured our shared future by growing the Law School endowment by 154 percent, to more than $232 million. A sizeable portion camefrom unrestricted gifts—a vote of confidence in the institution’s leadership and strategic thinking.

By bringing us so far, donors have put us on a trajectory few could have imagined at the beginning of thiscentury. We must continue to pursue our aspiration: a legal education unsurpassed in the world.

Penn Law faculty and leaders, students and alumni have a relentlessdrive to improve—and bolder ambitions still.
