| Dean Rogers Measures Positive Progress at Year's End |
"Looking back, 2004 has been an extraordinary
year at Moritz," says Dean Nancy Rogers. "We continue to
build a learning community that is second to none, adding new programs
abroad, new scholarly journals, new technology in our moot courtroom,
and new areas of study. Students in the Clinic are at work this year
on a case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. Faculty members increasingly
use technology to share their research and expertise in timely ways and
are being quoted not only in scholarly publications but also in media
throughout the nation and the world. Measurable indicators demonstrate
the growing attractiveness of Moritz to prospective students and the
achievements by graduates." Specifics prove the point. (learn

| Laura Holleman '92: Key Player in Goldman Sachs' European Investment Business |
Two
weeks after Laura Holleman '92 took the New York bar exam,
she was on a plane to London on "temporary assignment" with
Sullivan & Cromwell. She never came back and she has no regrets.
Last month, Laura was named a managing director of Goldman Sachs,
one of the world's leading investment banking, securities and
investment management firms. A self-described "deal junkie," her
career has been built on being in the right place at the right time
with the right Moritz preparation. (learn more) |

tracked down murderers of civil rights workers in Mississippi and investigated
Soviet espionage during the height of the Cold War. (learn more) |
| Several Roads Converged, and Garry Jenkins Took the One Most Meaningful |
Professor
Garry Jenkins' career choices have taken him down a variety
of roads—from the Third Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals
to New York's Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett, landing him at
last at the Goldman Sachs Foundation. How did Garry arrive at Moritz
Law? In Garry's words, there is no better place for him to have
a broad impact where his passions lie: in the world of nonprofit organizations,
and in fostering leadership skills in today's youth. (learn

| Ken Bravo '67: Building a Legacy of Leadership and Service |

specializing in business litigation with the Cleveland office of

of service, topics in which he is particularly well-versed. (learn
