Law School News MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Baron Maximilian Von Poofer

Several weeks ago, I heard a pathetic whimpering and whining outside of our bedroom door at 2:45 in the morning. I had experienced similar noises outside of my law school ofifice door just prior to the Property I final examination but was sure that no law student would be at our home at this hour. Instead, our Boston Terrier, Max, was the culprit. Max's Ml name, as proudly displayed on the AKC pedigree certificate, is "Baron Maximilian Von Poofer," but he has always preferred his nickname. I jumped out of bed, opened the door, yelled at Max, and chased him down the stairs to his rightful place: a bed by the fireplace in the family room. But Max ran to the back door, whimpering to me in dog language his need to use the canine restroom (i.e., our back yard). So I went to the back door, dressed only in my fi-uit-of-the-looms, to let Max out into the chilly and windy night. Max promptly did his business, but all was not well in terms of our master-canine relationship. He hid somewhere in the back yard and refused to answer my loud calls and clapping. Max was upset with me for yelling at him. Out into the yard I went. Shivering in my underwear shorts and bare feet, I roamed through the grass maneuvering delicately, ever mindfiil of the mine field that it had become because of Max's deposits. Softly I called, "Daddy loves you ... come back in the house." Max did not respond. After several more gentle entreaties. Max reluctantly appeared fi-om imder a bush and slowly walked to the house, reftising to make eye contact with me. If you leave yovir home in the middle of a chilly night Page 2

in your imderwear to fetch your dog, be sure to remember to unlock the door as you exit. Max and I, both shivering, were now looking into the nice warm kitchen fi-om the unheated sun porch. Although there is a house key hidden outside in some secret location, I always forget where it is. Therefore, I opted for "Plan B": crawling in a window that never locks properly. ("Plan C," waking up Bemadette by ringing the doorbell, was quickly ruled out.) As I slithered in through the kitchen window landing chest-first on the kitchen floor, Max began to whimper again out of fear that I was deserting him. (Max has a diagnosed case of "separation anxiety" and has taken part in a study sponsored by a local veterinarian school. He completed a ten-week course of study but did not graduate and still chews window sills and muttons and destroys Venetian blinds with impunity if left alone in the house. Max also has nerve damage causing his tongue to continually hang out of one side of his mouth. Max has been a very expensive little dog... but I digress.) Now wide awake at 3:15 in the morning, I sat in the family room wrapped in a blanket near the blazing gas' logs in the fireplace. I began laughing as I thought about the incident. Our next-door neighbors include Founding Dean F. Leary Davis on one boundary, distinguished law graduate Susan Crooks on another, and Professor Charles Lewis on the third side. Not that it matters, but I wondered if any of them or their family members had by happenstance spotted me roaming around outside at 3:00 a.m. in my underwear calling out gently to my dog. It wouldn't matter, I thought. This is a university town. Is there a point to this story? Sort of My dear mother, Helen Hetrick, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is on the mailing list for The Campbell Lavyver and is one of my strongest fans and best critics. She informs me that these alumni newsletters could use some human interest stories. Also, she tells me that the alumni newsletter should not be fiill of pictures of the dean, even if he is her oldest son. In addition, there are too many stuffy articles ~ serious pieces that make us all seem more important than we really are. Finally, she has suggested that some of the pictures of me are imflattering and that I should consider a regimen of both diet and exercise over the semester break. Fall 1997

Law School News So, as an end-of-the-year gift to our readers, I give you an issue of The Campbell Lawyer without a single picture of me shaking hands with someone, staring out at a camera from a head table at some banquet, or lecturing in front of a group of law students. I close this stream-of-consciousness message by counting just some of my blessings as I complete my eleventh year as dean of the law school: • I'm thankfiil for a loving and supportive wife and two fme sons, Paul and Mark. • I'm thankfiil for a wonderfixl mother who sacrificed for many years to raise seven children, and I'm thankfiil for my brothers and sisters. • I'm thankfiil to be located in a small town where residents care about each other and look out for each other. • I'm thankfiil for faculty members, administrators and staff members at this great university and law school who are down-to-earth, friendly and I supportive. • I'm thankful for a group of law students who are a joy to teach and experience life with during each academic year. • I'm thankful for the alumni, friends and benefactors of this law school who make our unique mission in legal education possible. • I'm thankful for a collegial group of fellow law deans throughout the country who, contrary to popular belief, do not wear their suits and ties to bed. • I'm thankfiil for a law school with a strong JudeoChristian mission that can prominently display Exodus 20:1-17, Romans 8:1-4, and Psalms 19:711 in the main lobby. Verses 7 and 8 from the Nineteenth Psalm appear on the cover of this issue. Best wishes to you in 1998, thank you for your friendship and strong support, and Merry Christmas! Patrick K. Hetrick Dean The Campbell Lawyer

The Right Honorable Lord Slynn of Hadley

BRITISH LORD VISITS LAW SCHOOL On Friday, September 26, 1997, the law students of Campbell University were in rare form as they donned their best for the visit of the Right Honorable Lord Slynn of Hadley, Great Britain's Lord of Appeal in Ordinary, House of Lords, the equivalent of our Chief Justice to the United States Supreme Court. Lord Slynn was visiting the United States in order to help North Carolina celebrate the 200th anniversary of oiu- court system. Lord Slynn was accompanied on his visit by Chief Justice Burley Mitchell of the North Carolina Supreme Court. Among the topics presented to the Campbell students were the English court systems, differences in the United States legal system and the English legal system, and differences in the life of an English barrister or solicitor and an American lawyer. Lord Slynn then departed Campbell to attend a banquet in Greensboro in order to honor the founding of the North Carolina Superior Court. The black tie banquet, sponsored by the Conference of Superior Court Judges and the Supreme Court Historical Society, featured a very special presentation by Roger Smith. Representing Campbell University were Elizabeth Freeman, Angela Allred, Timothy Grey, Joseph Hollingsworth, Erin Flemming, and Jeanette Foust of the Phi Alpha Delta legal fraternity and several Campbell Alumni including Paul Ridgeway.

Chief Justice Mitchell during a recent visit to the law school

On November 13,1997, the James Iredell Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta presented the Tenth Annual James Iredell Award to the Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, Burley Mitchell. Chief Justice Mitchell was recognized for his outstanding contributions to the state and the community through his service and the legal profession. As a public service lawyer who received his start as an assistant district attorney. Justice Mitchell said he has never been rich and never will be. However, since he entered the legal profession at bar passage, he has never had a boring day and goes to bed feeling good about what he has done. He said that there is no better payment for service performed. Fall 1997

Law School News "Despite all of the disparaging comments about lawyers in society and society's general perception of lawyers," Chief Justice Mitchell said, "we still practice as a profession. That is to say, we still serve humanity first and get paid second. We preserve the flow of liberty through supporting and defending our constitution, our written contract with the people...a true philosophical document." "I say to you, the future of the legal profession, as you go out into the world to practice, do well and more importantly, do what is good. Do what is noble; I encourage you to go into public service in one way or another...We must serve humanity first."

NC STATE BAR DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE MEETS AT CAMPBELL The Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law, along with the four other law schools in the state, has had the opportunity this year to host the State Bar's Disciplinary Committee as they heard disciplinary and reinstatement cases. The Disciplinary Committee met in the Jefferson Pilot Court Room, which was open to the public as well as to the student body. The Committee reviewed the cases of several attorneys who were either facing discipline by the State Bar or seeking reinstatement of their membership to the State Bar.

COLONEL JOHN TAYLOR VISITS SCHOOL Colonel John Taylor was a guest speaker in Professor Don Beci's Criminal Law class. The Colonel spoke about the custodial "boot camp" program run by the Department of Corrections. Colonel Taylor is the Commandant of North Carolina's three IMPACT facilities. He has also recently received the Governor's Colonel John Taylor Award for Excellence for his Outstanding Contributions to the People of North Carolina. IMPACT is a strictly regimented, para-military style custodial program. It is available as an Intermediate Sanction for youthfiil offenders in North Carolina. Currently, the program diverts male offenders from prison. A facility will soon also be available for female offenders. Those who have successfully completed IMPACT have had lower rearrest rates than similar offenders leaving prison. ("IMPACT" stands for Intensive Motivational Program of Alternative Correctional Treatment.) The first-year students thoroughly enjoyed Colonel Taylor's informative presentation.

FALL SEMESTER COMPETITION WINNERS

Henry Babb of Wilson, the Committee Chairman, said that meeting at each of the five law schools in the state serves two purposes. "First, it gives the public access to the State Bar disciplinary process," Mr. Babb said. "This allows the public in different geographic areas to know the state is holding its lawyers accountable for their actions. Second, holding the hearings at law schools in front of students who will be serving the public serves the purpose of allowing students to see and know and most importantly to be aware of the process and consequences."

GOVERNOR'S CHIEF OF STAFF IS FEATURED SPEAKER The Law School was privileged to have Mr. Franklin Freeman, Jr., the Governor's Chief of Staff and Legislative Counsel, speak to students in Professor Don Beci's Criminal Law class. Mr. Freeman spoke about North Carolina's criminal justice system. Prior to his service in the Franklin Freeman Governor's Office, Mr. Freeman served as a District Attorney, as Director of the Administrative Office of the Courts, and as the Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Correction.

discussed sentencing, punishment, the abolition of parole, and the increased funding for prisons. Mr. Freeman also spoke about substance abuse, noting that drugs or alcohol are involved in the crimes of over 70% of the men and women in prison. He also discussed public concern regarding the number of violent crimes being committed by juveniles. "As we get deeper into the decade, we have seen the severity of crime in North Carolina for younger offenders getting worse and worse. There is now national scrutiny on the problem of the juvenile offender. Governor Hunt has proposed a Juvenile Crime Study Commission that will research this growing problem from all perspectives...from prevention, arrest, conviction, and incarceration to release." Mr. Freeman's parting advice to budding young Campbell lawyers was to "steadily keep scratching. If you work hard and know the law and know what is happening in the state and county where you practice, you will meet with great success. A lawyer has the opportunity to affect many lives every day. Bear in mind that the way you practice law does affect the lives of others."

I L'S GO TO PRISON Recently, a group of first-year Campbell law students were loaded onto a bus and hauled off to North Carolina's only maximum security prison. In an effort to expose the aspiring attorneys to the realities of our penal system, Don Beci arranged a tour of Central Prison for students in his Criminal Law class. Professor Beci explained his objective as follows: "My goal is to give students in my Criminal Law class the capacity to serve society as 'top notch' judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys. While my primary focus during the semester is on legal theory, I also seek to expose students to the reality of the criminal justice system."

Mr. Freeman described the changes which he has observed in the criminal justice system during his 26 years of service to the people of North Carolina. He

Upon arrival at Central Prison, the students were divided into groups and taken to the processing center. Four of Central Prison's correctional professionals, Lt. J. G. Watson, Lt. B. A. Hoffher, Sgt. R. J. Smith, and Corrections Officer Alvin Broadhurst, served as tour guides. The students were

Law School News given an up close view of life at North Carolina's toughest prison. The prison, the state's fu-st and most complex, was built in 1884 by inmates. Almost 1300 prisoners are currently housed in the facility. Students saw death row, the execution chamber, solitary cells where prisoners on 23-hour lock-up are confmed, and a general cellblock area housing 129 prisoners. Students also went through the exercise yard and the license tag plant.

considering the prospect of a future as a criminal defense attorney or prosecutor, while others were likely deciding to pursue careers in other areas of the law. One student, Chris Von Cannon, described the tour as a "sobering experience. I gained an important lesson...regardless of our ideas of how criminal justice should be administered, or even what areas of law we find most interesting, the law revolves around individuals, conflicts, and consequences. We, as future attorneys, must do our best to display the responsibility and character that the profession demands and our clients deserve." Other students agreed that the tour was an enlightening and worthwhile experience.

THE HONORABLE ROBERT P. JOHNSTON IS GUEST SPEAKER Both Ist-year classes visited the prison in Raleigh

As the Corrections Officers detailed the day-to-day activities of the inmates, students learned that the regulations are stringent. All inmates who are able, except those who have been placed in 23-hour-a-day lockdown, are required to work. Those who refuse are placed in solitary confinement. While some inmates are allowed to attend educational classes, worship services, and group therapy, the privileges are few and far between for those incarcerated at the state's only maximum security prison. With 25-foot walls and twelve towers surrounding the perimeter, the facility provides a formidable pimishment for its inmates. The students were thinking hard as they walked through the corridors of the prison, sometimes only an arm's-length fi-om inmates. Some students were The Campbell Lawyer

Students in Professor Don Beci's Criminal Law class were fortunate to receive a visit from The Honorable Robert P. Johnston. Judge Johnston, Resident Superior Court Judge for Judicial District 26B, discussed one of North Carolina's more Judge Johnston gruesome and notorious serial murder cases. The case ended in the trial and conviction of Henry Wallace for the murder of nine African-American women in Charlotte. Despite its lurid details, the Wallace case, in Judge Johnston's view, provides an example of what criminal law practitioners will be facing in the future in regard to community and media involvement in high profile cases. The murder trial raised several important issues. The case received extensive coverage in newspapers and on television. The television media pushed unsuccessfully for live feeds fi-om the courtroom. Members of the media also insisted that they had a right to receive copies of the Fall 1997

Page 7

Law School News inflammatory taped confession which was made by Henry Wallace. In addition, new and developing technology was also a big issue, as DNA evidence played a large role in the trial. In preparing for such a high profile case. Judge Johnston sought advice from other trial judges who have had to make decisions and develop procedures in handling the pressure exerted by the community and by the media. Judge Johnston said all were most helpful and reported that the trial went very smoothly and that many anticipated problems did not materialize. Judge Johnston noted that high profile cases are very difficult in that with them come many issues that do not relate to the crimes for which the defendant has

been accused. Publicity, community pressure, and misinformation have the potential to influence the trial itself The Judge reminded the class that the resources of the court are scarce and must be used correctly by the parties that conduct the trial. The Honorable Robert P. Johnston has been a North Carolina Superior Court Judge since 1991. The Judge is also a Colonel in the US Army Reserve. Judge Johnston's service to the people of North Carolina is extensive. He is a member of the North Carolina Courts Commission and he has held several leadership and service positions in the Mecklenburg County Bar Association and in the Mecklenburg Bar Foundation. He is the Editor of the Mecklenburg Bar Handbook, and he originated and still writes for the Mecklenburg Bar Newsletter.

TENTH-YEAR REUNION HELD The Class of 1987 held its tenth year reunion at the Crabtree Marriott Hotel in Raleigh on Saturday, October 4,1997. Over seventy people, which included alumni, guests and faculty, attended the dinner. Don Brown, 1987 SBA President, presided over the evening and invited each alumnus and faculty member who was present to introduce herself and himself and to bring the others in attendance up-to-date on what they have been doing for the past ten years. This proved to be the highlight of the evening.
