I have taught courses in Constitutional Law, Political and Civil Rights, Federal Jurisdiction, Jurisprudence, Employment Discrimination, Japanese Constitutional Law, East-West Negotiations and wrote law review articles in those areas. I chaired the Law School Admissions Committee and helped develop a broad-based, inclusive admissions program that is still in place. In 2009, I was the first person appointed to hold the endowed faculty chair named in honor of Judge Clifford Scott Green. TEMPLE UNIVERSITY Vice President, Dean and Professor of Law The James E. Beasley School of Law As a University Vice President, my primary responsibility was to oversee Temple s international programs. The Deans of Temple University Japan (TUJ) and Temple Rome reported to me, as did the Office of International Programs. TUJ has approximately 1,600 students in Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka, with undergraduate and graduate degree-granting programs in liberal arts, business, education and law. It is the first foreign branch campus recognized as a university by the Japanese Ministry of Education. Temple Rome provides semester-abroad and summer programs in art, art history, liberal arts, business and law to about 600 American students each

2 year. My other major responsibility as a Vice President was to participate on the University Budget Review Committee, which I chaired from As Dean of the Beasley School of Law, I was responsible for administering a law school with 62 full-time and 125 part-time faculty and about 1,250 Juris Doctor and Masters of Law students. The major accomplishments of the Law School during my tenure as dean include: External Funding: The law school received over $100 million in gifts and grants (cash receipts excluding pledges). The law school s endowment increased from $4 million to over $60 million. Faculty: Fourteen new faculty chairs and professorships were established (11 endowed by the law school and two by the University). Policies for faculty support (summer research grants, leaves and merit salary increases) were instituted. Members of the law faculty received numerous awards for teaching, scholarship and contributions to the profession. Students: The academic credentials of the entering class increased continuously, with the median LSAT for Fall 2007 in the 85 th percentile. Over 70 new endowed scholarships were established. A new public interest fellowship program was also established. The job placement consistently rated in excess of 90%. Facilities: The law school s facilities were expanded and modernized by creating a smart conference center (Shusterman Hall, dedicated 1997); an addition for classrooms and administrative offices (Barrack Hall, dedicated 2002); and complete renovations of the main law school building, Klein Hall, including the Law Library. The law school was also computerized by establishing student computer labs and 15 smart classrooms; online library, admissions, registration, financial aid, career planning and development systems; laptop loaner program for students; and computers and Internet access for all faculty, administrators and staff. New Academic Programs: The Integrated Trial Advocacy Program (established 1991), combines the teaching of evidence, trial advocacy and professional responsibility; this program was supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Education and the William Penn Foundation, and received the American Bar Association s E. Smythe Gambrell Award for Contributions to Professionalism and the American College of Trial Lawyers Emil Gumpert Award. The trial advocacy program is regularly rated in the top three in the country by U.S. News & World Reports and other rankings, and the law school trial team won the national championship three times. The Masters in Trial Advocacy (established 1993) is the only graduate law program in the country in this field. The Integrated Transactional Representation Program (established 1994) combines the teaching of trusts and estates, professional responsibility and

3 interviewing, negotiating, counseling and drafting; the program was supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Education, William Penn Foundation and the American Council of Trusts and Estates Counsel; it has been featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education and the Journal of Legal Education. The semester abroad program for U.S. law students and a Masters of Law program for Japanese students at Temple University Japan (established 1994) were the first such programs offered by any American law school in Asia. A new, completely revamped legal research and writing program (established 1996) is taught by full-time faculty who specialize in the discipline. The Law School s legal research and writing program is ranked #4 in the nation by U.S. News. The Masters in Transnational Law (established 1998) is a graduate program in which students study private and public international law at the main campus and at the law school s campuses in Tokyo, Rome, Athens and Tel Aviv. The Law School s program in International Law is ranked #16 by U.S. News. The Masters of Law Program for Chinese students in Beijing (established 1999) is the first foreign law degree-granting program in the history of China. This program, operated in partnership with Tsinghua University, has had five classes including judges, prosecutors, government officials, law professors, Tibetan and other minorities, and attorneys from the private sector. The program also includes special educational training for judges and prosecutors, and we have been invited to provide educational training to the National Peoples Congress. The program has received funding from the Starr Foundation, Luce Foundation, Trace Foundation, General Motors, DuPont, Microsoft, ExxonMobile, Alcoa, Diginexus, Coudert Bros., CIGNA, Caterpillar and Whitehall Int l. It has been endorsed publicly by President Jiang Zemin and Secretary of State Colin Powell. This program also received the first federal rule of law grant for a university program in China. In 2002, I received the National Friendship Award from the Prime Minister of China for this program. In 2004, Temple University Japan became the first branch campus of a foreign university to be recognized by the Japanese Ministry of Education. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, semester abroad and faculty exchange programs were instituted with law schools in China, Ireland, Israel, South Africa, Holland and Hungary.
