Dean Patrick E. Hobbs and Peter N. Larson ’74 together at Larson’s home in
Scottsdale, Arizona
The Law School is now engaged in another round of strategic planning. It
will set our course for future success during this time of unprecedented
change in legal education. Larson and the Board, the Alumni Council,
faculty and administration are all involved in this process.
“There are many ways in which businesses and academic institutions differ,
but what’s true for both is that we must innovate or we risk becoming a
commodity with limited value,” Larson said. “Even if this were the legal
employment market of a decade ago, we simply can’t stand still.”
Dean Hobbs agrees. “Seton Hall Law is vibrant because we continually
seek ways to enhance the academic opportunities that we provide to our
students,” he said, “and we will only create meaningful change if we
draw on a multitude of perspectives. Alumni like Peter Larson are key
to the process.”
Larson is the retired Chairman and CEO of Brunswick Corporation, the
leading maker of recreational products in the United States. He is a
former member of the Board of Directors of CIGNA, Compaq, Johnson
and Johnson, Kimberly Clark and the New York Stock Exchange. He is the
past Chair of the Atlanta Ballet, the Advertising Education Foundation, the
International Relations Committee of the U.S. Olympic Committee, the
Listed Company Advisory Committee of the New York Stock Exchange
and the Southeast Selection Committee for White House Fellows.
A graduate of Oregon State University and Seton Hall Law, Larson served
in nuclear submarines in the U.S. Navy from 1960 to 1967. Today, he and
his wife, Lee, split their time between Wyoming and Arizona.
Larson is proud of Seton Hall Law’s transformation in the last decade and
what it portends for the future. “Essentially, I’m a product-improvement
guy,” Larson said, “and the law school is dedicated to improving itself
consistently, which is a hallmark of great leadership.”

Calendar of Alumni Events Peter N. Larson ’74
Peter Larson has brought his extensive track record of success in the
corporate world to his service as a founding member, and the 2011-13
Chair, of the Seton Hall Law Board of Visitors. One of his most significant
contributions was leading the Law School’s first strategic planning effort.
That plan guided the Law School’s transformation over the last ten years
as reflected in its steady, sustained rise in rankings and in the continued
success of its graduates.

Letter from
Our Dean
As most of you no doubt already
know, this will be my last year as Dean.
I look back at the past 15 years with
pride and with gratitude for the support
of our alumni. Together, we have
accomplished much.
Our past year was characterized by accomplishment
and excellence: prestigious faculty distinctions, an
alumna who blazed a new trail, and a visit from a
Supreme Court Justice.
Professor Thomas Healy’s acclaimed book, The Great
Dissent: How Oliver Wendell Holmes Changed His Mind–
and Changed the History of Free Speech in America, won
the 2014 Robert F. Kennedy Book Award.
In August, Seton Hall Law’s own Paulette Brown ’76
became the first woman of color elected to serve as
President of the American Bar Association, with her
term commencing in 2015.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor honored
us by visiting the Law School in April. She delivered a
poignant lecture, signed books, and that evening presided,
along with Judges Michael A. Chagares ’87 and Julio M.
Fuentes, at the final round of the Eugene Gressman
Appellate Moot Court competition. Justice Sotomayor
sought opportunities to meet as many students as possible throughout the day. Our students did us proud,
impressing her with their knowledge and insight. A
milestone event became an unforgettable day for us all.
Though market forces continue to drive dramatic
change within the legal profession, Seton Hall Law
remains focused on quality and opportunity.
Thanks to your generous support in the form of scholarships and endowed chairs for faculty, we continued
to engage the best and brightest students, as well as
esteemed professors who have built national and international reputations. As a result, Seton Hall Law climbed
from the bottom half of U.S. News and World Report
rankings in 1999 to the top third today.
Thanks in part to your work as mentors and moot
court competition coaches, and by your eagerness to
welcome students so readily into the robust
Seton Hall Law network, our Class of 2013 employment rate – 89 percent – stands alongside that of the
region’s top schools. In addition, the Law School has
achieved top-fifty rankings in The National Law
Journal and Above the Law, both based on the strength
of our employment outcomes.
Much has changed over the past 15 years, yet our
evolution is never complete. In concert with members
of the entire Seton Hall Law community, we have
embarked on a new strategic planning process to
position the Law School for continued success in the
coming decade. You can read more about that process
in this issue of Seton Hall Law.
At the end of the academic year, I will take a sabbatical
and plan to return to the Law School to teach. To be
able to welcome and guide students beginning their
journey to a career in the law, to support faculty who
consider, change and shape our system for the better,
and to spend time with you, our alumni, as you achieve
success in all walks of life, I can’t imagine an endeavor
more rewarding or satisfying. I am gratified by what we
have built together. It has been an honor to stand with
you in support of Seton Hall Law.
Regards,
Patrick E. Hobbs, Dean

A time of
Transformation
at Seton Hall Law
Peter N. Larson ’74: “A vibrant organization continually
seeks to improve itself by challenging the present.”

Seton Hall Law Magazine
‘‘
It’s clear that the legal profession, and hiring within the profession,
are evolving,” Larson said. But the question it raises is perpetual:
“How do we take advantage of our changing environment in order
to improve our competitive position?
— Peter N. Larson ’74
“There is a lot of criticism out there about how slowly
higher education reacts to external forces,” said Dean
Patrick E. Hobbs, “That’s not Seton Hall Law School.
Drawing on the insight and experience of our faculty,
administration, our Board of Visitors and our alumni,
we are constantly changing to meet the needs of the
legal community.”
This year, Dean Hobbs has rallied the Seton Hall Law
community to participate in its second comprehensive
strategic planning process, now underway.
Peter N. Larson ’74 fully endorses Seton Hall Law’s
continuous self-examination, as he has for the past decade
as a founding member of the Board of Visitors. With his
extensive experience leading Fortune 500 companies,
Larson believes that Seton Hall Law does well to emulate
the mindset of the world’s top businesses and embrace
change even in the best of times.
“It’s clear that the legal profession, and hiring within
the profession, are evolving,” Larson said. But the
question it raises is perpetual: “How do we take advantage
of our changing environment in order to improve our
competitive position?”
That question was foremost in Dean Hobbs’ mind in
2004, when he initiated the law school’s first extensive
strategic planning effort. The shared goal was to raise
the Law School to national prominence and make it a
leading law school in the region.
The plan, proffered in 2006, stimulated the Law
School’s capital campaign, Seton Hall Law Rising, to
help fund the Law School’s ambitious growth goals.
The response was overwhelmingly positive. The campaign
exceeded its fundraising goal of $25 million, financing
many of the objectives set forth in the original strategic
plan. Just as important, Seton Hall Law is gaining its
’’
much-deserved national recognition. In the past 10
years, Seton Hall has climbed from the bottom half
to the top third in the U.S. News and World Report
rankings, one of only two law schools to have risen so
dramatically over that period.
Employers also recognize the caliber of Seton Hall Law
students: ABA employment data placed Seton Hall Law
28th in the nation as measured by the Class of 2013
graduates landing full-time, long-term employment within
nine months of graduation, placing Seton Hall Law among
the leading schools in the New York metropolitan area.
Driving Transformation in a
Shifting Marketplace
The next strategic plan, to be finalized later this year,
will address the foundational shifts within the legal
profession that have changed how employers hire, train
and develop law school graduates.
Patrick Dunican ’91, Chairman and Managing Director
of Gibbons P.C., current Chair of the Seton Hall Law
Board of Visitors and also co-chair of the strategic planning process, speaks from a unique vantage point. “As
an employer of more than 60 Seton Hall Law alumni,
our firm has a vested interest in helping the law school
train the next generation of lawyers,” Dunican said. “The
legal profession has dramatically changed over the past
few years, and clients are less willing to pay to train new
lawyers. Therefore law firms are looking to hire smart
and talented young lawyers with the necessary skills to
hit the ground running when they start their careers.”
Professor Sarah Waldeck, who co-chairs the strategic
planning process along with Dunican and Vice Dean
Erik Lillquist, brings a vital 360-degree perspective.
“Our faculty, administrators, the Board of Visitors and
our alumni have a stake in the Law School’s success
and bring a unique perspective to how the Law School
Fall 2014 | law.shu.edu
3
can best serve its students, alumni and the larger legal
community,” Professor Waldeck said. “The strategic
plan that emerges from this collaboration will have the
support of Law School constituents and position us to
build upon the successes of the past decade.”
Earlier this year, Dunican, Professor Waldeck and Dean
Lillquist reached out to Seton Hall Law alumni to
gather information about hiring, the Law School’s curriculum, and the value of various law school co-curricular
experiences and programs. “The survey findings show us
that nearly all alumni are very satisfied with their experience at Seton Hall,” Professor Waldeck explained. “The
most interesting and important results were about areas
where alumni thought the Law School could improve,
such as adding more skills training to the curriculum.
It was also important to learn about the practice areas
where our alumni expect to see significant growth in
upcoming years, like cybersecurity and data privacy.”
As market demand changes, so does the need to maintain
an entrepreneurial mindset. Kathleen M. Boozang,
Associate Dean for Strategic Advancement, believes that
Seton Hall Law remains ahead of the curve in preparing
its students for the new opportunities now available for
those who are law-school trained. “Our students are
prepared to pursue the multiple options now available
to law school grads in law, consulting, business and
compliance. Our students don’t just find jobs – they
leave here starting careers that are well-suited to their
particular skills, personalities and aspirations. I think
this generation of Seton Hall Law grads will have very
fulfilling careers.”
Larson believes that it is this kind of approach to
the Law School’s future that holds it in good stead.
“There are three characteristics of strong leadership,”
Larson concluded. “Confidence in the superiority of
the product, an abiding need to maintain the product’s superiority, and a sense of discipline, which is a
commonality of focus.”
“Seton Hall Law has always stood for excellence in legal
education,” Dean Hobbs said, “and with input from
those who know us best – our faculty, administration
and alumni – this strategic plan, and the path it lays
out for us, is destined to yield excellent results.”
Peter and Lee Larson:
A Spirit of Generosity
From scholarships for high-achieving students to the renovation of the Law
School auditorium – now the Larson Auditorium – Peter and Lee Larson have
provided vital support to Seton Hall Law. Larson is proudest of the Charles A.
Sullivan and Kathleen M. Boozang Endowed Scholarships, created in 2009 and
2011, respectively. “Scholarships go to the heart of what the Law School does,
helping students fulfill their dream of becoming lawyers,” Larson said. “These
students will become alumni leaders who will make a tremendous impact on the
future of the Law School, the legal and business worlds and their communities.”
In addition to their very substantial contributions to Seton Hall Law, Peter and Lee
Larson are leading charitable investors in reducing homelessness. Their investments include two residences in New York City that deliver supportive housing
programs for the homeless. The insights gained from the New York City programs
are the basis for a nationwide public-private partnership active in 238 cities that,
in the last three years, has transitioned over 100,000 homeless people, including
31,000 veterans, to supportive housing.
The Larson Foundation is now investing in the development of data to support a
uniform statute requiring states to provide life-skills training for children exiting
foster care, to ameliorate current high levels of homelessness.

A Rock-Solid Foundation as
Seton Hall Law Moves Forward
Seton Hall Law introduced its first strategic plan in 2006. Here are just
some of the advances in academic programs that have enhanced students’
experiences in the past several years.
Expand Seton Hall Law’s intellectual
leadership in its Centers of Excellence.
The Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy, introduced
in 1990, just celebrated its 18th year among the top 10 of Health Law
programs as ranked by U.S. News and World Report. Thanks to a
grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this year a team of
faculty and students are assessing how effectively New Jerseyans
are receiving health care services under the Affordable Care Act. The
Healthcare Compliance Certification Program, offered to non-attorneys
in the ever-increasing regulatory environment of health and life
science organizations, is now offered on both coasts, and globally
in Paris, Singapore and Prague. Finally, the recently established
Division of Online Learning offers a number of graduate certificates
and a graduate degree in a number of areas, including compliance.
The Gibbons Institute of Law, Science & Technology, endowed in
2007 by Gibbons P.C., has gained renown for its array of continuing
legal educational events addressing developments in all aspects of
intellectual property (IP) law and in the emerging field of cybersecurity
law. Event speakers have included federal judges, officials from the
U.S. Patent and Trade Office, state and federal prosecutors, and
executives from private corporations in the fields of technology,
health and life sciences. Seton Hall Law IP law professors have also
hosted events for fellow academicians, ranging from a shared
exploration of IP law scholarly works in progress to the legal ramifications of emerging trends in biosimilars and nanotechnology.
The Seton Hall Law Center for Social Justice (CSJ), its seven clinics
and Pro Bono Service Program offer students opportunities to take
on real-world cases in such areas as domestic violence and divorce,
immigration, foreclosure fraud, prisoner’s rights, constitutional law
and juvenile justice. In 2002, the CSJ launched its first Rule of Law
program which brought student delegates to a sister law school in
Jérémie, Haiti, and in 2012, the CSJ introduced a new program
incorporating classroom study with a week-long trip to Guatemala
to meet with judges, human rights activists and other advocates on
the ground. The CSJ has helped expose the practice of medical
repatriation, in which hospitals forcibly arrange for deportation of
vulnerable undocumented immigrant patients in an effort to cut costs.
The CSJ is also conducting groundbreaking work to reveal the extent
of fraudulent bank practices in mortgage lending and foreclosure.
nhance public interest programs
E
and opportunities to effect social
and legal change.
In addition to innovations within the CSJ, in 2011 Seton Hall Law
introduced a new program, the Investor Advocacy Project, funded
by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, in which students utilize
negotiation, mediation and arbitration to resolve cases on behalf of
older investors who have lost retirement savings. Also launched in
2011, the Southern District of New York Representation in Mediation
Practicum enables student advocates to represent otherwise pro
se litigants in federal court, and in 2013-14, the Practicum’s cases
accounted for 83 percent of the Court’s docket for pro se advocacy
placements. In 2013, Seton Hall Law introduced the SDNY Settlement Conference Practicum, in which student advocates appear
before federal magistrate judges to resolve employment discrimination and federal civil rights actions.
Create and implement a unique skills
curriculum providing a capstone experience
to students.
In 2009, Seton Hall Law instituted the Legal Practice Curriculum to
focus on core skills through in-classroom simulation opportunities,
internships and externships, as well as a rigorous competition program.
The curriculum has expanded students’ interest in hands-on learning:
among the Class of 2014, 73 percent of all students participated in a
clinic or externship. This fall, a new course, Introduction to Lawyering,
immerses first-year students in the core skills necessary for legal
practice, including not only research, writing and oral advocacy, but
interviewing, fact analysis, contract drafting and negotiation. Taught
entirely by full-time faculty, students approach legal problems that
are challenging on intellectual, strategic, emotional and ethical levels,
enabling them to gain critical legal skills in their first year.
